So I'll do my best to not disappoint you!
But I must say this chapter has a bit drama.
Chapter 3: Making out with an Angel
Hotel
Emma, Regina, little Henry and sadly Cora were all in the hotel having their dinner.
After the practice and having that meeting with her sponsors, Regina said they should just go eat their dinner and rest because Emma needs to look super sharp for her practices. - Emma doesn't know why Regina keeps controlling her sleeping schedule, but she lets the brunette have it her way.
Now the three women and the little Henry were having their dinner. Regina seemed to be happily feeding her baby, as Cora was nagging Emma again.
"So how as practice? Is your left foot good?" Cora asked as she took a sip of her white wine.
Emma sighed out, she knew where this was going. "All good."
"Sure? You didn't pull off any injury during practice, right? Cause that would be a shame."
"Everything's good, Cora. Gosh, you are not the coach, you know."
"But I am a spectator, and as one I do not wish having you out of the world cup."
"No worries, I got this." Emma chewed on her steak.
"Is Jill still with that dumb tactic?"
"Oh my god, Cora! Let it go! That was years ago." It was literally years ago, Cora really needs to stop holding grudges.
"Exactly, so I hope she doesn't have the same tactic. You guys won last year only by luck."
Emma closed her eyes and groaned before take a sip of her beer. "Don't you worry about the coach's job. We will win this."
"Sure?"
"Yes, I am sure."
"How come?"
"Because..I just am, jeez."
"You can't be sure of something that doesn't only depend on you."
"Okay, okay. But don't worry, woman."
"I just want you guys to win."
"Yeah and you are nagging me about it."
"I just want to make sure you are motivated for this."
"Duh, I am. Football is my life."
"I know." Cora just smiled at that and went back to eat her meal, without bothering Emma.
And Emma was now having her fun with Henry, by pretending the spoon was a train about to enter his mouth. Regina seemed to get busy quickly with her phone, which made Emma wonder if the brunette still was getting emails at 9pm.
And while Emma thought nobody else would bother her anymore for the rest of the night, she was wrong. Because the very moment Regina spoke, she could tell it involved her.
"Oh no, no, no." Regina mumbled as she frowned down at her phone. "No."
Cora perked up an eyebrow and looked at her daughter. "Is something wrong, dear?"
"Yes, everything's completely wrong with the media." Regina clenched her jaw as she looked at Emma, with that glare that if there were no witness Regina would totally smack Emma.
Emma was now having the spoon about to feed Henry again, till she noticed the glare Regina was giving her, and the blonde simple did not know what wrong she did now. "What? Why you looking at me like that?" Emma asked in a rather nervous tone as she feed Henry again.
"Well, why don't you see it for yourself." Regina said as she showed her phone to Emma.
Emma frowned slightly with a confused expression on as she looked at Regina's phone...Oh hell no! She thought for herself as she saw the new freaking news the media had about her. "Okay, this is not my fault."
"I believe it is." Regina told her as she gripped tightly onto her phone, doing her best to not scream at Emma.
"No, it's not. How could I know?!" Emma was feeling anxious because she knew an angry Regina was never good.
Cora was wondering why the hell the two women seemed upset about this matter, so she just snatched the phone from her daughter's hands and looked through the new.
'Swan's Family?!'
Cora frowned slightly wondering what was that title about, then she continued to read the new.
'It seems our player has been more tight with her manager. Obviously we have seen them together all the time, but we all thought it was strictly professional through all these years. But did that professional bond blossomed into a romantic one?!'
Cora was kind of shocked, she still hasn't read the news lately, she was busy with Henry and preparing everything to come meet her daughter here. When she scrolled more, there was a sequel of pictures of Emma waiting for Henry to walk up to her, then her catching him and then Regina, Emma and Henry together in what seemed to actually be a happy family. Then there was more written to it.
'We all know that Emma Swan is a little player in and off the field. But now it seems she decided to consider settle down with her manager; obviously those pictures don't lie about the happiness written on both women faces while they hold Regina Mills baby.
We have already caught this two women being awful close in the airport, now them together with the little one. Will this remain or it's just another play?'
"I must say the media is kind of cruel." Cora said with her eyebrows raised after reading the news; they all made sound like Emma was a douchbag player, which she could be sometimes with the all women, but she wouldn't play with their feelings, it was only night stands; even Cora was aware of that. "But do explain me this, Regina."
"There's nothing to explain, mother!" Regina gasped, wondering if her mother was believing the news. "The media is clearly taking advantage of meaningless short moments me and Miss Swan share."
Oh no, Regina was with that miss Swan thing, Emma was sure she'd get an ear full later.
"Well, they do know how to convince somebody." Cora said with a shrug as she gave her daughter the phone back. "You do know you two need to clear this before it gets too carried away, right?"
Emma pressed her lips together and looked away kind of embarrassed and also feeling awkward; she didn't know why she felt like that, but she did. Maybe it was because deep down she was enjoying this media rumors, but obviously Regina was hating them, completely hating.
"Of course mother, I am very well aware of that." Regina was extremely angry, this was incredible bothering her.
Cora noticed something between the two, Emma refused to say a word and Regina was about to snap at any minute, so she figured to give the ladies couple of minutes alone. "Well, I am going to clean up Henry." Cora said as she stood up from her chair and went to remove her grandson of his seat and then left the table.
Now that the to were left alone, Emma looked awkwardly at Regina. 1...2...3..bomb
"Did you by any chance ran into some journalist or reporter?" Regina asked.
And Emma was surprised she wasn't yelling. "No. I was busy wit the training, then the meeting and now I am here. - And let me tell you, I am pretty glad that I didn't ran into any of those people because I am tired of them." Emma sighed out and leaned back in her chair; she knew they had a job to do but they were very annoying when they wanted to.
"Well whenever you do, you quickly tell them to leave you alone and stop feeding this nonsense news." Regina snapped as she took a sip from her wine.
Emma frowned at that, but decided to let it go for now. "Got it." She knew Regina was upset, but was it really needed to be this angry? It's just some freaking rumors, what bad could it do? It was only a matter of time till the media figured out by themselves it was all bullshit and none was real.
"This is unacceptable, Miss Swan. I don't want journalists and reports getting their noses in my personal life now."
"Chill, Regina. It's just some stupid rumors, they will figure it out by themselves sooner or later, anyway."
"And I'd rather to have make it happen sooner than yesterday could happen." Regina frowned as she looked down at her phone.
"Yeah, okay. Don't worry." Emma rolled her eyes.
"How come you sound so calm about this?" Regina looked up still with that pissed off expression on.
"Because I don't care about what the media is saying. It's just some rumors, it will wear off." Emma shrugged as she stretched her arm and placed it over the table, while leaning back against the chair.
"Till then, they will nag me and you to get more false information."
"So? If they come to me, I will do what you said. Tell them its fake and blah blah."
"Don't be so careless about this situation, Miss Swan. This is an important matter, whether its gossip or not."
"Regina, I'd rather not annoy myself with the media."
"But this is important."
"It's not important, Regina.
"I think it is, it will affect my personal life."
Emma frowned at that, then it suddenly hit her. "Oh yeah, the scruffy man going to get upset?"
"Do not call him that." Regina clenched her jaw.
"Yeah, whatever. Robin won't buy that shit. I am sure he knows he's girlfriend doesn't swing to these team." Emma laughed at her own joke. She was taking things rather calmly, because she could careless what the media thought, and after doing some sneaking through comments, she found out that fans were thrilled about this and totally supportive, even imaging how their future would be; and let's just say Emma got too carried away with the comments from the fans and that left a lot of thinking in her mind to do.
Regina eye twitched when Emma was so prude. "Either way, I refuse to let this happen, it will look too vulgar in my life; and I do not wish to be forced to have a talk with Robin on how this nonsense is ridiculous."
Emma was tired of hearing Regina complaining, she knew Robin was her fucking new boyfriend; but she needed to chill and stop saying such mean words, because it was starting to offend Emma. "Whoa, you make it sound like it's hell having a relationship with me."
"Most certainly." Regina was quick and cold.
Emma was left speechless at such boldness. "What?"
"I may not have experienced it myself, but I do know how you are and I would certainly refuse myself from being together with a flirtatious person and how do you say…'woman eater', yes I am sure that's the words you use." Regina looked back down at her phone.
And Emma just wanted to grab Regina's glass and make sure that wine would ruin her outfit forever. Why the hell was Regina flipping like that?! She was used to Regina's arguments, she was used to an insult here and there, but most of the times were calling her irresponsible, reckless, stupid, idiot, annoying or irritable; but nothing like this! "Okay you know what, fuck off, Regina, really. If you are so freaking worried about your damn reputation or about your so new loving boyfriend that clearly just wants to get in your pants; then don't worry I will take care of this first thing tomorrow." And with that Emma was already standing up from the table.
Regina stared, shocked, upset and couldn't believe Emma insulting her like that; but for some odd reason she saw it coming and could feel some hurt coming from the blonde. "Emma I-"
"No, save it, really. Don't worry tomorrow the news will be totally different tomorrow. Just ask you to get off my sack and do your own manager thing; got enough of this." And then Emma left the table.
"Miss Swan-!" Regina half whispered and half yelled because she didn't want more attention on her than it already was from the other tables. Emma stormed out without any other word and even bumped into a waitress, thank god he wasn't holding any meals. Now Regina looked back at her table and while doing that she noticed people were still looking at her, she just shoot a nasty glance at them and went back eating her food.
Why the hell did Emma stormed off like that? Why did she used such words against Regina? Of course the brunette sometimes could exaggerate but...You ruined it. Regina thought to herself as she closed her eyes and mentally scolded herself. She shouldn't have said those things to Emma, she was just angry, angry at how she was going to explain this to Robin, angry at how happy Emma and Regina looked in the pictures and angry at how she couldn't get a hold of her true feelings for the blonde. She was a mess, she wasn't sure whether she had a simple attraction, old school crush or if it was something much deeper than that.
But before Regina could put more thinking into the thought, her mother was back with Henry.
"Where's Emma?" Cora asked as she was now putting Henry back in his seat.
"She was feeling tired and decided to go back to her room earlier." Regina lied as she took a sip from her wine.
"I know you are lying, dear." Cora said as she sat down.
"Mother, I am not in the mood to have this conversation with you. All you need to know is that things are solved and Miss Swan will fix everything tomorrow with the media."
"Okay, fine."
Next Day – Practice
The girls were getting their practice done, it was almost time to finish but the coach still insisted on making them take ten last laps around the field before call it off.
"So Emma, you and your manager getting it on?" Solo asked while she wiggled her eyebrows.
"Yeah I saw that on the news." Christen said as well as they ran alongside with Emma.
"No, it's all bullshit." Emma answered coldly as she keep her eyes forward while running.
"Aww, what a shame." Christen mumbled.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Emma perked up an eyebrow as she looked at her fellow partner.
"She means like Regina is freaking hot and we thought you'd be already with her and we were actually shipping the whole thing, you know?" Solo spoke up.
"Yeah, you two looked incredible cute together yesterday." Christen added.
"Indeed, but I knew why I had doubts on this thing, so I was totally right we shouldn't trust media." Solo then finished.
"Yeah, you know how it's all fake gossip to get money girls." Emma said with a shrug trying to ignore the fact that her teammates were basically 'shipping' her with Regina and that they thought they looked cute together. "Besides, I got myself a hot girlfriend now."
"You do?!" Christen gasped surprised.
"Who's the hotty one?!" Solo was already asking because she knew Emma's girlfriends were always a 10.
"Karlie Kloss." Emma answered.
"No way!" Solo was the one gasping now with Christen.
"Yup, no kidding."
"You are with the hotel model?" Christen asked surprised.
"Of course, either go hard or go home." Emma chuckled at her own words.
"Damn, you obviously pick the best ones."
"You know I got myself an Angel." Emma said remembering that Karlie was a Victoria Secret's Angel; and ooh that woman was really an angel at the hottest ways possible.
"When can we meet her though?" Solo asked with a sly grin.
"Why do you want to meet her?"
"Huh, cause like I can have a picture on my instagram that I just met one of Victoria Secret's Angels?" Solo said like it was obviously.
"Well too bad you ain't getting no picture. But you will be able to see her, she's coming to pick me up."
"She now picks you up?"
"We going on a date later."
"Ooooh a date? What kind of date?"
"Solo stop putting your nose in my business!"
"Jeez, I am just curious, that's all." Solo rose her hands in defense.
"Way too curious." Emma rolled her eyes.
"Okay girls, we are done here! You can go change now!" Jill shouted out letting her players know that the train has ended.
"Thank god!" Solo groaned out with Emma as the both said that at the same time.
Emma walked up to get a bottle of water, drank half of it and then poured it over her head; she loved doing that, quickly cooled down her temperature and it was such loving feeling.
"Come on, Emma! I want to see you kissing an angel!" Solo said out loud with a laugh as she ran to the locker rooms.
Emma shook her head and laughed as she picked up her sports bag and went after Solo and the rest.
Outside the training field
Emma took a quick shower and was now wearing some dark sweatpants, then a gray sweatshirt with a hood. She pulled the hood over to cover her blonde still wet hair and now walked out of the stadium to meet up with Karlie who was already waiting outside by her badass jeep that Emma loved so much.
Emma saw the sex Karlie with tight blue jeans, a teal blouse and some sandals; she was super casual, Emma figured that had to do with their date, because the blonde made sure they weren't going anywhere classy, they were just going to the zoo actually; what best place is to get seen by bunch of people that will see her and Karlie together than the zoo? She's sure bunch of kids know her, and if they see her, then everybody else will see her as well.
"Hey babe." Emma mumbled as she approached Karlie.
"Took you long." Karlie mumbled with a grin as she as now placing her palms over Emma's shoulders while feeling the blonde's hands grab her hips.
"Yeah, Solo stole my shampoo." Emma rolled her eyes before lean in and give a quick peck on Karlie's lips.
Karlie chuckled at that and kissed her girlfriend's lips. "Is that why she's staring at us from afar with the rest of her friends?" Karlie perked up an eyebrow as she looked over Emma's shoulder and saw her girlfriend's teammates watching them.
"Mhm, she wanted to see me making out with an angel." Emma chuckled as she kept her view focused on Karlie's lips while her hands slowly went down to grab her ass.
"Then let's put a show." Karlie wiggled her eyebrow before wrap her arms around her girlfriend's neck and give her a strong, full of passion and lust kiss.
Emma groaned at that and basically started making out with Karlie in front of her teammates and also in front of couple of photographers that wouldn't stop taking pictures and she was sure they were getting closer.
After few minutes of making out, Emma pulled back and gave one last peck on Karlie's lips. "So let's go?"
"Sure. Wanna drive?"
"Hell yeah!" Emma shouted happily as she snatched the car keys from Karlie's hand and quickly got in the jeep.
Her plan was going just fine, now Regina would shut up about it and stop insulting Emma. She was pretty hurt with her manager's words and she has been trying to void her since last night, that's why she took the driver for herself first to get the to the practice before even have to face Regina at breakfast.
Now she just had to wait for the media do their thing.
Oh snap! No! Yes, it had to happen guys. Regina crossed the line there, Emma aint no fool.
But do not fear my loves, it wont be like this for awhile. Or maybe it will for a little longer, I am thinking about making this become more interesting and having a major drama and time-skip.
