It took Emma two days to calm herself. Two whole days to convince herself that she didn't have to get mad at Regina, she had to get even. Emma has spent all her savings to get the bug back. Bye-bye to that new drum set she wanted to buy. All because Regina had decided to be a bitch. She wanted war? Well, Emma was pretty good at holding a grudge, and even better at putting a fight. It definitely not nice to be on Emma's bad side. After deciding that she would get even, Emma spend countless hours in front of the computer, googling how to get back at annoying neighbours.
Regina needed to pay for her acts. And, thanks to Google, Emma was full of ideas. She just needed the perfect occasion to get back at the brunette that lived below her. And today, one week after Regina got Emma's car towed, was that day: the blonde and her roommate found themselves on the building's private parking. They were alone and there was a car they had never seen before; a car that, Emma knew for sure, belonged to Regina.
"That's her car," Emma pointed at a Mercedes that was park next to August's motorcycle.
August was like a brother to the girls, he was currently travelling through Latin America, so he had left his Harley Davidson in their parking spot. It was the main reason why Emma's bug was parked outside. Besides, the car didn't bother anyone - she had asked all her neighbours to make sure, and they had said that she could leave it parked there.
"How do you know?" Ruby asked.
"Well, Gold is the only one besides me that owns a car, and he drives a BMW," Emma explained, smiling at her luck. She then took out hair-clip that was holding her bangs up and pressed it against the car.
"Emma," Ruby grabbed the blonde's hand. "What the fuck are you doing?"
Emma gave a sudden jerk of her hand to be freed from her roommate's grip. No one would stop her from getting back at Regina. "I'm getting even," Ruby arched an eyebrow, "She fucking towed my car, Rubes! I had to pay 100$ for that."
"And that will be nothing compared to re-painting the car," Ruby pointed out.
"She drives a Mercedes, I bet she's rich," Emma spat, "She can afford the paint."
Nothing Ruby said would change Emma's plans: when the blonde set her mind on something, she went all the way to achieve it. So, Ruby decided to give up and disappear before things got ugly. She was no one's nanny, specially no one as hot-headed as Emma. The blonde didn't even notice that her friend was gone, and with the hair clip still pressed against her annoying neighbour's car she walked from the back of the car towards the front. Emma couldn't help but grinning as metal hair accessory scratched the painting, leaving a long line on the left side of the car.
Emma knew that revenge was not the solution, but why did it feel so good?
"What on earth are you doing?" A voice made Emma gave goosebumps. She turned to see her neighbour who was walking towards her with an angry face.
"This?" Emma asked pointing at the car with the clip she had just used to scratch it, "This is called getting even. You wanted to get to my bad side, now live with the consequences."
"You don't know what I'm capable of doing," she replied, her fists closed in a tight grip.
The blonde couldn't contain the grin on her face. She walked towards Regina, just leaving a few inches between them and repeated the words that Regina had said last time they met "Your turn,".
Emma stared at Regina's lips and then at her eyes before dropping the hair clip. The sound of the clip impacting the floor was Emma's cue to leave the scene. The blonde walked away with the grin still on her face, leaving behind a speechless and angry Regina - it made her day.
