Regina Mills, The Evil Queen, the woman I loathe, is or gay or bisexual. Wow.
Emma couldn't stop staring at her. It can't be real. I must be dreaming, she thought, I'm gonna pinch myself and I'm gonna wake up in my bed, in my bedroom, far from this place.
Regina had pushed her friend away as soon as she heard her last name. She had spent most of her time as a principal trying to hide her sexuality and there was no way one of her students could have seen her. She became even paler when she realized that the student who said her name was Emma. Emma Swan. The one and only.
Maleficent had arrived at her house a little bit after eight. They talked while they ate the meal that Regina had previously cooked. Maleficent told her about her new job as lawyer and asked her the usual questions about Henry.
After dinner they took Regina's Mercedes and went to the new club called the Rabbit Hole that had opened a week ago. Regina wasn't at all the club type of woman but Maleficent had invited her there and she could only agree.
Once in the club, they ordered their drinks and sat at the bar. After a while Maleficent took Regina's hand and bought her to the dancefloor. They danced apart from each other at first but then things quickly escalated and in the blink of an eye Regina had her friend's ass against her front. They stayed like that for a long time. Sometimes their positions changed and Regina was the one moving against Maleficent.
Regina don't know when it happened nor how it happened, but she was suddenly kissing Maleficent with all the passion she had in herself near what seemed to be a bathroom.
And now here they were, being stared at by Emma whose mouth was hanging open.
She watched Emma curiously as she tried to pinch her arm, resulting in her growling loudly. Emma kept repeating something but Regina couldn't figure our what she was saying. This can't be real, I'm gonna wake up, was saying Emma as if she had just seen a ghost.
"Miss Swan ... What are you ... What are you doing here ?" asked Regina, still extremely uncomfortable.
"I- I came ... I came here with my friends. We ... dance and ... You ... kiss a woman. Wow."
"Regina is that one of your friends ? Nice to meet you, I'm Maleficent."
"No. This wom- I mean this girl isn't my friend. Not at all. I told you about her, she's Mary Margaret's daughter." said Regina, glancing at Emma with fire in her eyes.
"Oh."
"Yeah. 'Oh' like you say so well."
"I- I'm gonna leave you two alone so ... you can go back to ... whatever you were doing. Bye Ms. Mills"
Emma ran as quickly as she could to the bathroom, opened the door of a stall and sat on the toilet seat, head between her hands. She sighed deeply. Wow.
She heard the door of the bathroom open and close violently.
"Miss Swan ! Where are you ! Come out of this stall right now ! We need to talk and I would like to see you when I talk to you." yelled a husky voice. Huh. Regina Mills's voice for sure.
"Why ? I don't have anything to tell you Ms. Mills. You know ... I am gay myself. There is no problem with that. I mean ... you can be with whoever you want to be. And this woman, Maleficent, she's hot so I totally get you. like totally. And I also totally get her, thought Emma, even thought she didn't say the last sentence.
"Shut up, Miss Swan. I am not gay and I won't allow you to call me something that I am not. I like women, yes, sometimes they make great company but ... wait, I don't own you any explanation. Just get out of this stall. Right ! Now !"
"Ok, ok if you insist." Emma stood up and slowly opened the door of the stall. And for the first time of the night, she looked more closely at Regina.
Regina wore a short black dress that clunged to her body like if it was a part of her. Her black heels were high (as always) but Regina was still a little bit shorter than Emma. Her legs looked so smooth, Emma wanted to lick them and kiss Regina's creamy white. Nop, don't think like that Swan, you're not a perv. What would your teacher say if she knew what you were thinking.
And then there was her lips. Those red, perfect lips. The lips a woman had been kissing 10 minutes ago. They're so kissable, I understand that Maleficent could not resist tasting them.
And her deep brown eyes. Staring at her full of rage. Now that Emma came to think of it, she has never seen Regina look at her with something other than rage or disgust. And she probably never will.
And finally, her hair. Her magnificent hair.
You are supposed to hate her Swan. Don't forget why you came here in the first place : to forget the fact that you're gonna have to spend hours with this evil woman. Get a grip and stop staring at her with hungry eyes, oh my god.
Emma slowly walked toward her, staring at her feet, suddenly all shy and embarassed.
"Look at me Miss Swan, I am not going to eat you."
Regina's comment made Emma blush even harder but she finally managed to look at her teacher's eyes.
"You know, Miss Swan, I would like for you to keep what you just saw to yourself" said Regina with a menacing tone. "I am not ashamed of my sexuality but I do not like my students talking about me and spreading rumors behind my back. You will not say a word to anyone, not even the people you came here with. Is that clear, Miss Swan ?"
Regina slowly walked toward Emma while she talked to her. Emma, forced to walk backwards, finished by hitting the wall.
"Yes. That's ... that's perfectly clear. I didn't intend to say anything, anyway. You know I-"
"I don't care." cut her off Regina. "The only reason why I am still talking to you right now is because I want to make sure that you don't open your mouth at the first occasion you get. Now, you will excuse me but my friend must be waiting for me."
"your friend ?" slightlt chuckled Emma.
"What was that ?"
"Oh nothing. I ... I didn't say anything. Have a good night with your ... friend, Ms. Mills. I will see you on monday."
Emma walked past her teacher and went out of the bathroom. On her way to the table she shared with her friends, she saw Maleficent looking at her with an amused smile on her face.
No one was sitting at the table so she decided to go and search for her friends on the dancefloor.
"Emma! We're here! Come dance with us!" had to scream Ruby because of the sound of the music.
Emma quickly joined her friends and started to dance with them, with a still really fresh image of her brunette teacher kissing a tall blonde.
"Thank you for keeping Henry tonight, I don't know what I would do without you, dear" said an exhausted Regina to her babysitter, Ariel.
"Oh, no problem Ms. Mills, Henry is a great kid, but you know that, right ?"
"Oh yes, I do."
Regina had decided to come back home directly after her interaction with her student. She was too tired to stay in a club with loud music pounding in her ears anyway. She had drove Maleficent to her house so she could take her car in silence. After an awkward Goodnight, Regina opened the door of her house to find Ariel reading a book on the couch of her living room.
Ariel took the direction of the door after Regina had payed her and was about to cross it when Regina remembered about her plans with Kathryn on next friday.
"Oh Ariel, wait, I wanted to ask you something. Are you available next friday to keep Henry. I have to go to the restaurant with one of my friends." asked Regina, hopefull.
"Next friday ? Oh I'm so sorry Ms. Mills but my boyfriend Eric and I got a date on this day. But I will ask one of my friend if she can keep Henry, she loves children and I'm sure she is going to love him. I will send you a text with her response, ok ?"
"Ok, thank you Ariel, you are saving my life. I already cancelled plans with her once and she would probably have hated me if I had cancelled them again. Goodnight and drive safely !"
"Goodnight Ms. Mills !"
Regina closed the door behind her babysitter and took the direction of her son's bedroom. He was practically totally covered under the sheets and Regina couldn't help herself and cuddled next to him.
She fell asleep in his bed, still totally dressed , thinking about her blonde student.
Emma spent the rest of the week-end thinking about friday night. She saw Regina kissing Maleficent every time she closed her eyes.
After dancing and drinking all night with her friends, Emma had decided that it was time to go home, even thought her mother wouldn't mind her sleeping at one of her friend's house like she did most of the time when she was drunk.
She drove Belle and Ruby to Belle's house and then drove back to hers.
She had tried to not make any sound when she opened the door but miserably failed when she stepped onto something (she still doesn't know what it was). Thankfully, she didn't wake up Mary Margaret.
Emma changed and put a simple short and a t-shirt on before going to bed.
After a long hour of trying to fall asleep, Emma finally fell in a deep sleep thinking about the brunette principal of her High school.
Saturday night, she even dreamt that she was the one kissing the beautiful brunette and woke up breathing hard with sheets wetter than she would admit.
Regina being attracted to women didn't change anything for Emma. At least that's what she tried to convince her brain to think. But it just wouldn't listen to her.
Her brain saw in Regina being attracted to women an ... opportunity. An opportunity to make a fantasy come true.
You're so delusional, oh my god, thought Emma. Wait. Am I really talking to my brain right now ? God, the thought of Regina being gay or bisexual start to really make me feel crazy.
Besides that, the week-end passed rather quickly. Emma went to Granny's on saturday and spent the afternoon there with Ruby, Belle and Graham. And she spent her sunday watching dumb movies her mom loved so much on their couch, curled up against Mary Margaret.
Regina spent the week-end correcting tests next to her son who was playing with his new toys. She would sometimes stop working for an hour to play with him before going back to sit on her chair.
Henry had managed to make her forget about friday night, even thought at night Regina couldn't stop thinking about blonde hair and green wide eyes.
She must admit that she was rather surprised by her student's apparence. She wasn't used to seeing Emma wearing dresses or high heels and she found surprising the fact that this outfit actually fitted the blonde quite well.
She is your student, Regina. You shouldn't even look at her like that. A student you absolutely loathe by the way. Stop that right now, woman.
Emma woke up on monday with the sound of her alarm clock. She couldn't be late anymore or Mary Margaret would probably take her phone or her car keys away from her.
She went downstairs and ate her breakfast in silence meanwhile her mom was watching a shitty tv show about rich dumb people.
After her cereals finished, she went to the bathroom to take a shower and to brush her teeth. She dressed up, took her bag and met Mary Margaret in the living room to tell her goodbye.
She only remembered why she was going to hate this monday when she was comfortably sitted in her car : One hour with the woman she kept fantasizing about.
Good luck Swan, good luck.
