So coming up in this chapter we got some soccer tryout. Emma meets some new pals. We got a party. Warning: Underage drinking.
I hope you guys enjoy! (:
Thursday had come and gone with little to no communication between Emma and Regina, mostly on Emma's part. It had occurred to Emma by Friday during hers and Regina's science class that Regina resembled a dog with a bone. Never letting up, never giving up… And for what? To talk to her? To be her friend? 'Why did it even matter to her so much?' Emma had thought to herself. 'Gosh, I wish she would just forget it ever happened... Forget I ever said anything… Fuck, Emma, you can't even forget it. You're such a fucking embarrassment, not only to yourself but to your family and you're new 'friends' if you want to even call them that. Laughable. They probably only hang out with you because of August. You're no one special. Never have been. Never will be.'
It had quickly become the end of the school day on Friday and Emma had been dreading this all day. She didn't know how she let August talk her into trying out for soccer AND going to a party all on the same day. Usually, it was the other way around, Emma had always been the one to convince August to do something now what? The just switched roles or something? Emma shook her head as she sat on a bench in the girl's locker. She had waited like she normally does so she could be the last one out. She just needed some time to collect her thoughts. After dressing in a black pair of Nike joggers and a plain white t-shirt. After taking a moment to breathe through her nerves she quickly slipped on her old pair of black and white soccer cleats. She stood tall reaching down into her joggers to make sure everything was in place and to make sure there was no chance of anything slipping out and causing her any more embarrassment that she already felt, she headed through the back doors leading on to the field.
Emma looked around and noticed directly in front of her further down on the field where the soccer tryouts were being held. She saw a group of girls talking to an older man who looked to be in his late thirty's, Emma recognized her as the English Lit teacher she had with Belle and Ruby. Emma started making her way when she heard someone yell her name from behind her to her right.
"EMMA! Good Luck!" She looked up and saw her brother waving at her enthusiastically, next to him were Ruby and Jefferson chanting her name. She smiled while rolling her eyes at them. She through them a wave and turned around to jog the short distance towards the group.
"Nice of you to join us, Swan." Mr. Miller said not even looking up from his clipboard. Emma blushed walking around the girls to stand in the back. "Don't make it a habit. Okay, now that everybody's here we can begin." He said looking up and glancing around at the team. "First off call me Coach or Mr. M, Mr. Miller reminds me too much of my father. Now we're going to start off with some simple drills just to warm you girls up a bit. Ok?" Nods. "Then we're going to run a scrimmage. I want you to give me your absolute best. Anything else then you can just walk the hell off my field now. Got it?" More nods. "Good now line up at the halfway line. We're going to do something really simple to start off with. I just want to see how well you guys can kick. No tricks. I'm going to be in the goal of trying to stop it. Don't let me stop it." He said with narrowed eyes at the girls. "Okay, let's go. Line up." The girls started turned to make their way to line up, Emma along with them when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw 'Coach' with squinted eyes. "I hope your good Swan or else you're just wasting all of our time here. Don't let me down."
Emma nodded and ran to the line to stand behind a beautiful Asian girl. "Don't take it personally."
Emma looked up. "Huh?" Emma said tilting her head to the side.
"With Coach." The girl said nodding in the direction of the man in the goal yelling at a poor girl who kicked the soccer ball over the entire net. They moved up space. "He's a little rough around the edges but he's a good guy." Another space. "He's just stressed because our team sucks." 'Great. August made me join a team who's shit.' Another space. "But hopefully we're finally gonna make a come back this year. I'm Mulan."
Emma looked at her in disbelief with a lopsided smile "You're shitting me."
Another space.
Mulan shook her head. "No my parents just have a weird sense of humor." Another space.
"I like it. I loved the movie. I even cut my hair and tried to run off to help defend China when I was 7."
Mulan looked and her and chuckled "Are you serious?"
Emma shrugged. "There's pictures. I thought I burned them all but my mom has sticky fingers. I swear she was a bandit in another life." Another space. "Looks like it's your go," Emma said to Mulan. "Good luck."
Mulan smiled at her "Thanks." Emma watched as she walked up to the line and nodded her head giving the coach a thumbs up letting him know she was ready. He rolled the ball as hard as he could and Emma watched as she took off stopping it with her foot and zig-zagging it making her way down the field just to kick it off before making it to the goalie box just barely making it in past her coaches outstretched fingers. The girls behind Emma cheered.
"Good job Fa!" The coach yelled. "See ladies. That's what I want to see. The first shot of the day. Let's see if we can keep it going. Come on Swan."
Mulan made her way back stopping next to Emma giving her a high five. "Good luck Swan."
Emma gave her a small smile while nodding. "Thanks." Emma tried to shake off her nerves but damn she hadn't done this is two years. She didn't even know if she was any good anymore.
"Go, Emma!" She heard from the bleachers. She looked up and saw her friends yelling and waving with the biggest smiles on their faces. She noticed Belle had joined them and she looked just as excited for her as the rest of them. 'They believe in me.' Emma smiled and let her eyes travel to the left and noticed her. She was sitting a few rows above Emma's friends and she sat with two girls she always sat with, both blondes on either side of her. Emma watched as a small shy smile graced the brunette's lips. Regina waved and with two thumbs up she mouthed 'you got this.' For some reason Emma found herself nodding at the brunette.
"Any day now Swan." She heard from her coach. Emma closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She turned to face her couch with a determined look on her face. She nodded with a thumbs up to her coach that she was ready just like she saw Mulan do. The coach nodded and again with everything he had. Rolled the ball down the field. 'Here we go, Swan. Let it go and be free for one second.' And with that Emma was off. Squinting her eyes she ran as fast as she could towards the ball. She easily stopped the ball and made her way down the field. It seemed that time had slowed down around her and for a moment everything stood still. It felt like she was her old self again and she just wanted to hold on to that moment for as long as she could. Taking a deep breath she slowed her way down the field and looked up and meet eyes with her coach. She saw it. Him daring her to score. He rocked side to side trying to anticipate the direction she was going to shoot the ball. Emma looks up at the bleachers and watched Regina nod. Time still in slow motion. Everything sounded like it was under water. Emma looked back at her coach and with a slight upturn of the corner of her mouth her continued on. She stopped outside of the goalie box with the ball. She took a step back and then slowly and slightly approached the ball. She brought her left foot to the right side of the ball getting ready to turn left, and swung her right foot and her body to the left to the front of the ball and with the inside of her right foot she used to strike the ball firmly away from herself while simultaneously twisting her body to accelerate away with the ball. Emma watched as her coached dived for the ball, missing it and falling to the ground, as it shot in the air going into the left upper corner. 'Breathe Emma.' Emma let out a deep breath and smiled.
"FUCK YEAH EMMA!" Emma heard from the bleachers not even needing to turn her head because she knew it was Ruby.
"Wooo! Go, Emma!" This time Emma turned and saw Regina and her friends up cheering for her right along with August and all of their friends. Emma smiled bigger.
"Geez, Swan." Emma heard her coach say. Turning her attention back to him. He stood up brushing the grass of his shorts, Walking up towards Emma. "Where'd you learn a move like that?"
Emma shrugged with pink cheeks. "Uh… I've played soccer for as long as I can remember. I think since I was like four or five. Soccer was my life for a really long time but then I… Uh… I had stopped playing like two years ago. But my brother convinced me to start playing again."
Coach nodded "Hm… Get back in line Swan." Emma nodded and walked back. "Okay, ladies did you see what Swan did? Those of you who make the team I better see moves like that on the field." Emma smiled and walked back and stood behind Mulan.
"Dude, what the heck? Why didn't you tell me you were a Soccer god?" Mulan said.
Emma shook her head "No. I'm not. If anything you are. Dude, you had a dope kick."
"Yeah, but you did some twist fake out. That was awesome."
The girl in front of them turned around "How about you both just agree you're both awesome." Emma and Mulan looked at each other and shrugged. The strawberry blonde haired girl smiled "Hi I'm Anna." Gesturing to the icy blonde haired girl in front of her "This is my sister Elsa. Elsa go ahead. Say hi."
Elsa smiled at them and politely nodded "Hello."
Mulan smiled. "Hey."
Emma nodded her head "Sup."
Anna looked at Emma "You're new here right? What grade are you in? Wait how old are you? Oh wait is that rude to ask?" She looked at Elsa then back at Emma "It's just you look kinda young so I didn't really know. I mean I'm a junior and Elsa's a senior. But I mean ya'know maybe you just have really nice skin. Ya'know good genes and all. Uh... Okay, now you talk. I'm gonna stop now."
Emma looked slightly taken aback. 'Damn she would get along great with my mom.' "Uhm… Yeah, I'm new. I uh... I'm a senior but I'm sixteen I skipped. And I don't really mind. And I do have really good genes. Everyone says I get my charming good looks and personality from my dad." Emma finished with a charming smirk. Anna smiled and Elsa blushed and turned her head away.
"That so cool. Did you hear about that party going on tonight? You guys should totally go. Elsa and I are going."
Elsa groaned "Do we have to?"
Anna looked at her sister "Yes we do. I already told Kris we were going. He's picking us up. And you know our parents won't let me go if you don't." Anna turned back to Emma and Mulan and waved off "Something about me not being too impulsive and not responsible enough blah… blah… blah… Anyway, are you two going?"
Emma nodded "Yeah I'm friends with Ruby. I'm going there to help her set up. Not sure how long I'll be there. You going Mulan?" Mulan nodded "Yeah. My friends Phillip and Aurora are forcing me."
Emma smile "Well Mulan, Elsa looks like we're all in the same boat."
"Ladies! Less chit chat more soccer! Let's GO!" The coach yelled. The rest of the practice was a few more drills starting off with a cone exercise and ending with a scrimmage where Emma and Mulan dominated. Other girl whining about it not being fair they were on the same team. The coach then yelling at the whiners to get their heads out of their ass and step up to the challenge. Coach sat on a bench on the sidelines looking up every now and there writing down. After about 20 minutes the coach yelled for the girls to come and huddle up. Walking back to stand around the coach Emma realized she was sore. She was so fucking sore and it felt so fucking good. She couldn't believe it. She felt a bit of all that pent up anger chipped away. Breathing felt just a little bit easier today. She felt dare she say it. Good. Coach started "Okay guys. Look normally I wait until Monday to post the new roster because I need usually need a bit more time to consider my options. BUT I don't need to do that today. It was obvious who played well. Who deserves to be on this team. I feel confident in my decision and if you don't like it well too damn bad. Practice more. Work on your skills. And If you get better a spot might open up for you. Okay so if I call your name you're on the team. Got it?" Everyone nodded. "Anna. Sarah. Jamie. Elsa. Brooke. Tyra. Merida. Racheal. Jasmine. Mulan. And…" Coach looked up and meet eyes with Emma and smiled a crooked grin "Emma Swan. Everyone else I'm sorry but. There's always next year. Okay, ladies. Practice is every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It starts after school at 3 pm and ends at 5 pm. Do you understand?" Everyone nodded. Coach looked at Emma again. "And don't be late." Everyone nodded again. "Alright, you can go." The girls headed back to the locker room.
"This is so fucking sick. We are gonna destroy this year." A firey red-headed girl said with a thick Scottish accent.
"Yeah, I can't wait!" Another girl said. "Hey, Emma." Emma looked up at the girl she had beautiful brown skin and looked to be Arabian. "I'm Jasmine. You've got some killer moves."
"Thanks. Uh... I saw you out there you're pretty good yourself."
Jasmine smiled. "Thanks."
"This is gonna be so cool. I can't wait to get on the field we're gonna be unstoppable. Especially with our own personal savior." Anna said hip bumping Emma.
Emma laughed "Please don't start calling me that." Emma stops and gave her a serious look. "No really do not call me that."
Anna held her hands up "You got it." Emma let out a sigh of relief while Anna whispered "Savior."
Emma chased after her trying to hit her with a towel while everyone laughed. After a few minutes things calmed down and everyone except for Emma showered. Emma just grabbed her bag and headed out.
Once she walked out the door she was attacked with a group hug "Ugh. You guys know I don't do hugs. Get off."
"But we're so proud of you." Jefferson said then suddenly pulling away "Ew you smell. Why didn't you shower."
"Uh… I don't like showering in front of people."
Belle nodded "I don't either. I get it." She placed a hand on Emma's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Ruby can I just shower at your place?" Emma asked.
Ruby nodded "Yeah I can't have you stinking up the whole party can I. Come on. Let go to my place and start getting ready."
They gang started walking to the car till Emma heard her name being called. She turned around and noticed Regina running up to her. Emma turned back to look at her friends "I'll catch up with you guys." They nodded with a few mumbled 'okays' and headed to their cars. Emma looked at Regina. "Hey. Uh, What are you still doing here? Wasn't your practice over an hour ago?"
Regina shrugged "I wanted to watch your practice. I heard your coach say you made the team. That's really awesome." Regina smiled at her making Emmas inside turn to jelly.
"Uh yeah, I'm actually pretty excited."
"Well, you were really great out there. I can't wait to watch you play in your first game." Emma just nodded. "So… I uhh…" Regina suddenly shyly looks down at her feet. "I heard Ruby's having a party tonight. Kat, Tink and I were thinking about dropping by…"
Emma nodded again. "You uh… You should."
Regina perked up and looked up. "I should?"
Emma nodded. "Yeah. It's a party it'll be fun."
Regina nodded "Yeah. Maybe we can I don't know... hang out. During the party. You know. All of us. Your friends. My friends."
"Sounds great."
"I can't wait."
"I should probably go. They're waiting on me. But I'll see you there." Emma said walking backward.
"Definitely," Regina said as her smile brightened. Emma smiled back and turned around and ran to her car. They all piled into her's and Ruby's car and made their way to her house. 'Tonight. Tonight just might be a good night.' Emma thought.
It was 9:37 pm when the party became in full swing which made Ruby happy because apparently when a party starts at 8 that really means it start 9. And if people should up at 8 that means the party's gonna be lame. Emma sat on the couch with August watched the sea of drunk teenagers. Emma halfway through her first beer, she looked around and sighed.
"Waiting on your lady." She turned to her brother.
"She's not my lady."
"Yet." Emma shook her head and downed the rest of her beer. August stood up. "You want another beer?"
Emma nodded and stood up with him "Yeah I'll go wi-Uh…"
"What Emma?" Emma just pointed to the door. There was Regina in what had to be the sexiest peach dress that went perfect with her olive Latina skin tone. 'God' Emma thought. The dress had a halter neckline with a princess seamed bodice that went to her hips and flowed out to a skater skirt that ended just at mid-thigh. She was absolutely ravishing. Emma felt a twitch in her groin and had to swallow a moan. "Oh damn. She is hot." Emma looked at her brother and glared.
"Shut up Auggie." Emma looked down at her clothes and sighed. She was wearing a pair of loosely fitting skinny jean that both knees had large rips going from just above the top of her knees and a few inches at the bottom of her knee and extra whole under the left. The ankles of her pants were cuffed showing off the taco socks she wore with her black and white vans. She wore another plain white t-shirt with a pocket on the left side of her chest and of course her red leather jacket.
"Go talk to her." Emma looked up at her brother. "Come on I'll go with you." Without waiting for a reply August grabbed Emma's hand and pulled her over towards Regina and her friends.
"Hey, guys." The three girls looked over at the two siblings and smiled. Kat was the first to speak "The Swans siblings. Fancy running into you two. Isn't that right Regina?"
Regina rolled her eyes and then looked at Emma. "Hey."
Emma smiled at her. "Hey. You uh… you look amazing."
Regina smiled brightly at her. "Thank you, Ms. Swan."
Tink snorted "I should hope so it only took her two ho- OW. Fuck Regina. Watch those heels." She said as the brunette stepped on her toes.
"Oh. Pity. Anyway, do you know where a girl could get a drink?" Regina asked.
August spoke, "Emma and I were actually going to grab a drink from the kitchen come on." August lead the pack to the kitchen. He and Emma walked to one side of the island and gesture to the vast variety of alcohol. "Pick your poison."
"What do you recommend?" Regina asked.
"What do you normally drink?" Emma asked trying to gain a bit of confidence.
"Oh, our Regina doesn't drink," Kat said.
"Yeah, I think I've seen her drink maybe twice and it was maybe a couple of sips of something."
"Well, I can't really drink. I have a lot going on and I don't want to mess things up by getting shitfaced." Regina snapped at her friends.
"Down girl we were just joking," Kat said patting her friend's shoulder. "Can you make something fruity?" The taller blonde asked.
August nodded "Emma makes great drinks."
Regina smiled at Emma giving her an encouraging nod "Well, by all means, Ms. Swan." Emma smirked at the brunette and looked the different alcohols to figure out a possible drink for the three girls. Nodding to herself she grabbed a couple of bottles and brought them over to the counter behind her so she could have more space. Regina watched as Emma poured a few different liquids into three red solo cups. She put another cup on top of each and shook them up. She turned around and handed an individual cup to each girl.
"Try this," Emma said.
Each girl took a sip. Eyes wide they all let out a little moan.
"This is delicious," Tink said.
"Yeah. Do you wanna be my our personal bartender?" Kat asked taking another sip.
"Yes, Ms. Swan you have really outdone yourself. What is this?" Regina asked
"It's called a Fruity Pebbles. It's pretty easy to make." Emma said shrugging nonchalantly.
"Back in Boston we used to sneak into a bunch of underground nightclubs and we ended up becoming friends with a bartender there. She showed Emma how to make a few drinks." August spoke.
Emma stiffened up "We don't really need to get into that. August you said you wanted a beer right?"
August frowned realizing his mistake "Uh yeah Em. Thanks."
Emma nodded. The girls watch as Emma grabbed two beers out of the fridge and sat them both down on the island. She pulled a lighter out of her back pocket, grabbed one of the beers put the light at the top and popped the cap off. Grabbing the other beer and doing the same.
"Okay, you have to show me how to do that later," Kat said.
"Emma!" She heard from across the room. Emma looked over and saw Ruby and Bell at a table set up for Beer pong. "Come play Belle and me so we can whoop on your ass." She shouted. "Bring your girlfriend!"
At this, the two blonde girls giggled while August laughed and Regina and Emma blushed. "Shut up Ruby!" Emma yelled while Ruby just howled out a large laugh. "Do you wanna play Regina?" Emma asked while walking around the island to stand next to the girl. Even in heels, Emma was still just a bit taller than her.
Regina smiled and nodded "Sure." They walked over to the table. "Uhm so how do you play?"
"You've never played before?" Emma asked. Regina just shook her head. "Okay, so you just shoot the ball and try to get it into the cup. If you get it they drink and vice versa. If you shoot it and it hits a cup and bounces it off of that cup into another then that's two cups and that team has to drink both of those. If you shoot it and make it and then I shoot it and make it we get the ball back. Uh… Oh if the balls in the cup and its spinning you can finger it or blow it to try and get it out." At this Regina blushed and looked down and let out an 'Oh'. Emma smiled. "Yeah, I think that's it." Emma handed Regina a ping pong ball. "You ready?"
"Are you guys done flitting?" Ruby asked throwing an arm around Belle's shoulders.
Regina nodded and smirked. "Always." The brunette turned to face the cups. With squinted eyes, she threw the ball swiftly making it into the middle cup.
"Alright!" Emma yelled with a smile throwing an arm around the girl's shoulder causing Regina to blush. "Take that Red."
Ruby rolled her eyes grabbing the cup "Whatever. Beginners luck." Emma ended up making the next cup causing Belle to drink and bring the balls back. Regina again making the next shoot but Emma missing. Leaving Ruby and Belle to shoot. Ruby made it and Belle missed. The game went on with Ruby and Emma talking shit towards one another Regina joining in every once in a while and Belle laughing at the two girls and scolding Ruby every once in a while. There were three cups left on Ruby and Belle's side of the table while four were left on Emma's and Regina's. It was Ruby shot. She threw the ball and it started spinning in the cup on instinct Regina pushed her hair to the side and blew in the cup and few times causing it to pop out of the cup.
"Aw!" Belle shouted.
"Fuck you!" Ruby yelled.
Regina laughed "Come on now don't be such a sore loser."
"Yeah, Ruby don't be such a pussy," Emma said laughing.
"Shut it, Swan," Ruby said glaring. "Come on beauty you got this." Belle smile and threw the cup accidentally hitting Regina in the chest. The ball bounced off and went into a cup. "FUCK YEAH! That's gotta be two cups! Come on it bounced off her boobs!"
Emma laughed "Shut up Ruby it one cup!"
"House rules Swan!"
"You should have said trick shoots! You cant change the rules now!"
"She's right Ruby," Belle said.
Ruby turned towards her best friend and grabbed her hips pulling her close "Belle you're supposed to be on my side."
Belle threw her arms around the other girl's neck. "I am. But rules are rules." She kissed the taller girls cheek and pulled herself out of the girl's arms. "Let's finish this up so Emma can make us all drinks."
They continue to play and soon it was down to one cup on Ruby and Belles side and two on Emma's and Regina's. Emma turned towards Regina and placed both her hands on the brunette's shoulder. "Okay, brown eyes. We both have to make it into this cup. If we do. We win. You've got this." Regina just nodded slightly dizzy after Emma so close and touching her at the same time.
"Got it." She nodded. Emma nodded back at her give her shoulders a slight squeeze and let go. Regina turned towards both of the brunettes. "Ready to lose Ruby?" Regina asked with a confident smirk on her face.
Ruby scoffed. "You wish Mills," Regina smirked turned slightly more devilish and threw the ball. It landed in the cup with a slight swirl causing Ruby to just and try to blow it with no such luck. "Fuck." Emma laughed. "Shut up Emma." Ruby pouted and walked behind Belle hugging her from the back placing her chin on her shoulder.
Emma smiled her infamous charming smile. "Hey, Ruby watch this." Ruby watched as Emma threw her arm around Regina's shoulders looking her in the eyes. She raised her arm getting ready to through the ball.
Ruby lifted her head. "You better fucking not Swan." Emma looked at Ruby winking looked down at the cup and turned back to look back into Regina's eyes. She threw the ball and her a loud pop! "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Ruby yelled letting go of Belle. "How the fuck did you do that?"
Emma laughed and shrugged unconsciously pulling Regina closer. "I use to play this game a lot."
Ruby shook her head. She grabbed the cup throwing it back. "Fuck you." Ruby grabbed Belle's hand. "Come on Belle. Emma's gonna make us a drink."
Emma laughed at the girl. She took her arm off of Regina's shoulders sliding her hand down her arm grabbing her hand. "Come on I'll make you another drink." Regina smile and nodded letting Emma lead the way. Once back in the kitchen she saw her brother with Kat and Tink talking. She looked back at Regina. "You want the same thing?"
Regina nodded "Sure." Emma grabbing the same supplies as before started making drinks for all the girls.
"Who won?" August asked.
Emma smirked looking around at her brother "Come on now Auggie. You know I'd never let anyone take away my title." The group excluding Ruby laughed. Once down she handed out the drinks and the group started chatting all standing around in the kitchen. Regina started shifting from one foot to another. Emma noticed this and asked, "You okay?"
Regina smiled tightly "Yes. It's just these heels are starting to hurt my feet." Regina said lifting one foot up behind her adjusting her shoe.
Emma patted the empty space counter. "Hop up."
Regina just laughed "I don't think I'll make it dear." Emma rolled her eyes and grabbed Regina's drink from her hand placing both her own and Regina's drink on the island in front of them. Turning towards Regina she grabbed the girls waist lifting her up causing Regina to squeal and grab hold of Emma's strong shoulders. Emma gently placed the brunette on the counter and smiled. She grabbed both of their drinks handing Regina back hers.
"There you go." Emma turning back to the group as if it was nothing while Regina wide-eye looked up at her friends silently asking 'did you see that.' Both nodded with and shocked yet pleased look on their faces. Regina now halfway through her second drink started to feel the effects, along with most of the groups. Emma down with her beer grabbed a new one again popping the cap off with her light.
"Emma!" Emma looked up to see Mulan walking her way with a boy and a girl. Emma smiled and high fived her friend.
"Sup Fa. When'd you get here?" Emma asked.
Mulan shrugged and said, "Not too long ago." Turning to Ruby who too was now sitting on the counter. "Hey, Ruby nice party." Ruby just bowed. "Emma this is Phillip and Aurora. Guys this is Emma." Emma smiled at them.
"Hey, guys. It nice to me-"
A squeal interrupted her. Looking over both girls saw Anna bouncing her way towards them with Elsa and a tall blond boy behind her."Oh my gosh! Elsa, it's on two new soccer stars!" Anna pulled both girls in for a hug. "I'm so glad I ran into you guys. This is my boyfriend Kristof but everyone calls him Kris. Kris, say hi." Not giving him the chance she spoke again. Oh, and you guys remember Elsa. Go ahead Elsa, say hi."
Elsa walked up to the three girls. "Hello, again Mulan." She said nodding towards the girl. Turning her attention towards Emma. "Hi, Emma." Elsa blushed and turned her head away for a moment and looked back. "You look very nice this evening."
Emma smiled at the timid girl. Emma looked at her outfit she was wearing tight powder blue spaghetti strap dress that cut off mid-thigh. "You look really pretty. Blue really suits you. It brings out your eyes."
The girl smiled, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red. "Oh well thank you. That'sats very kind."
"No problem."
Regina narrowed her eyes at the girl. "Who might you be?" Regina asked with a sharp tone Emma hasn't heard before.
Elsa's eyes bulged out "Oh well... uhm I'm Elsa. Uh... We have homeroom together. It's nice to meet you." Elsa said reaching out her hand.
Regina looked at it rolled her eyes and with crossed arms, she said: "Oh I'm sure."
"Regina!" Emma said
"What!" Regina snapped back. Emma glared at her, while Regina glared back.
"Okay, we're gonna go..." Mulan said. "Come find me later Emma."
"Sure Fa!"
"We're gonna go too. I wanna play beer pong. Hey Mulan! Wait we need a fourth!" Anna said dragging Kris and Elsa off.
Emma turned to Regina "What's your problem?"
Regina looked away and cooly said, "I have no problem."
Emma scoffed and rolled her eyes "Yeah right." She looked at Regina and saw the inner turmoil going on inside her brown eyes. She sighed and looked back at her friends. "Hey, guys I'm gonna step outside for a minute." She looked to Regina. "You wanna come?" Regina just nodding let Emma one-armed grab her by the waist helping her down.
Regina blushing at the contact "Thank you." The two walked towards the back door hearing Ruby shout 'Don't fuck on my back porch!' Emma just turned giving her the middle finger causing Ruby to return the gesture and laugh. Once outside Regina closed the door following Emma to sit on the steps. Emma pulling out a pack of cigarettes. Popped one in her mouth lighting it and taking a long drag. Regina turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow "You smoke?"
Emma shrugged "I'm trying to quit."
Regina looked at the girl and reached out her hand "May I try?"
Emma shook her head. "No."
"No?"
"Yes. No."
Regina rolled her eyes "And why not Ms. Swan?"
Emma threw her head back "Ugh… Would you quit it with Ms. Swan? Call me Emma. And because I don't want to be responsible for you smoking. Plus you won't like it."
Regina glared at the blonde "I am my own person EM-MA. I can make my own decisions. I'm not going to start smoking a pack a day from one hit. AND I will be the judge of what I like and what I don't like." Emma groaned rolling her eyes realizing this wasn't a battle she felt like fighting tonight just handed the cigarette over to the girl. "Thank you." Regina positioning the cigarette properly in her hand brought it up to her lips and inhaled. Big mistake. Regina started coughing on the smoke. Emma laughed taking the cigarette back in one hand and patted her back with her other. "You were right. I don't like it." Regina looked over at Emma smiling smugly at her. "Oh come off it. You don't have to look so pleased with yourself."
Emma shrugged smiling wider. "Can't help it."
Regina cleared her throat "So. You're sixteen right?"
Emma nodded taking another hit and blowing smoke out "Yeah. I'll be 17 in October. October 23rd to be exact. You're already 17 right?"
Regina nodded "Yes. February 1st." Regina took a sip of her drink.
"What was that?" Emma asked.
"What?" Regina countered knowing exactly what Emma was speaking of.
"With Elsa. Do you not like her?"
"I don't know her."
"Then why were you mean?"
"Why do you care? Do YOU like her?" Regina asked with slightly nervous eyes.
"Yeah," Emma said.
"Oh," Regina said disappointedly. "Well..."
"As a friend."
"Oh." Regina sighed. "She likes you."
Emma shrugged. "Doesn't matter."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't like her like that. I only see her as a friend." Regina nodded. "Plus I kinda already have a type she doesn't really fit into."
"Oh, and what's that?" Regina asked looking at Emma.
Emma looked at Regina with her signature charming smile. "Brunette's with bitchy attitudes."
Regina threw her head back and let out a laugh causing Emma to chuckle. "Shut up." She said pushing Emma's should with her hand. A comfortable silence fell over them. Regina was the first to break it. "Look Emma about the other night-"
Emma cut her off "We don't have to talk about that Regina. We're having a fun night. It's been really cool just hanging out with you. Why ruin it?"
Regina sighed "I just thought you might an answer to your question. I didn't think the night would be ruined." Regina's shoulders slumped took brought her cup to her lips this time taking a larger gulp.
Emma turned towards her taking another hit blowing the smoke away from Regina turned to her side to face the brunette. "Alright, Regina. Let's hear it. It seems like you gotta get something off your chest so… Out with it" Emma said taking a large gulp of her own.
Regina sighed and leaned against the railing. "Have you…" She shook her head and looked at Emma "Have you ever felt like your entire life was already mapped out for you?"
Emma shook her head "No. Not at all. I'm honestly just trying to get through it."
Regina smiled at her "We are very different aren't we." It wasn't a question but Emma nodded. "My mother. She has plans. Certain expectations of me. I have to get perfect grades. I have to be a leader amongst my peers. Captain of the cheer squad. Student body President. Captain of the debate team. Etc. I have to do all of these things because they look great on an application. Which, with a good application I can get into a good school. An Ivy league school."She corrected herself. "Because how can you become a world-renowned doctor by going to unheard of University." Regina sighed. "Don't get me wrong she's not… a terrible person... I ya'know... I love her. I do. I know she loves me… Well, most days I think she does anyway. I guess she's just a lot to deal with. She has a lot of expectations."
"Regina, what does this have to do with Robin?"
Regina took a sip of her drink "Mother has expectations. Mother has rules. Robins family. The Locksley's… They've known my family for a very long time. They have a very prominent company focusing on outdoors equipment. They have money. They have influence. They are the kind of people mother would love to marry me off too. I'm supposed to date him. I'm supposed to be happy and perfect and pretend like I don't hate his guts. But in reality." Regina looked Emma hard in the eyes. "He repulses me. He's annoying. Rude. He smells like burnt logs. And he constantly cheats on me." Regina shook her head closing her eyes for a second before opening them and taking another drink finishing it off and placing it next to her. "Mother wants me to be with someone who can raise my status in society. Some who will bring our family to the next level."
"What do you want?" Emma asked
Regina tilted her head to the side shaking it "Honestly I don't know really. I just know that I want to decide it for myself."
"Then do it. Fuck your mom." Emma said with a shrug finishing off her cigarette.
"What?" Regina asked only slightly taken aback.
"Fuck. Your. Mom. Do what you want to do. It's your life. Not hers. You're the one who will have to live with every decision. Not her. You can't live your life pretending to be someone else just to please whoever. Trust me. You're only hurting yourself." Emma said sitting up arms propped on her knees. She took a sip of her beer.
"I'm not sure it's that easy," Regina said turning to sit next to Emma scooting just a tad closer.
"Oh, it not. It's probably gonna be hell. Especially from the way your mother sounds. But trust me. It'll be worth it." Emma said. Regina nodded. "So." Emma looked at Regina with a lopsided grin. "What's something you wanna do that would royally piss your mother the fuck off." Regina turned towards Emma tilting her head to the side.
She looked up and tapped her chin. "hmm…" She let out and stopped. Smiled and looked at Emma.
"What?" Emma asked with a small smile. Regina said nothing. She leaned forward grabbing Emma's face smashing their lips together. 'Holy fuck. It's happening. Holy fuck. What do I do? Oh. Kiss her back. Duh.' Emma thought as she placed her beer on the step below and snaked her arms around Regina's waist pulling her closer. Regina let out a soft moan and slid one arm around Emma's neck and another in her long blonde curls. Emma licked Regina's bottom lip lightly asking for entrance, which Regina quickly granted her. They fought for dominance a battle both intended on winning. Regina grabbing a fist full of and tugging lightly causing Emma to be pulled back. The blonde gasped and moan out a soft 'Fuck.' Emma's eye's darkened as she looked back at Regina and reattached her lips back on to the brunette's. Emma slides her hands up ran them up and down Regina's back. Emma felt her jeans get s little tighter 'I gotta stop. She can't find out.' Regina started trailing kisses down to Emma's jaw again tugging on her hair and kissing her way down to her neck. Regina licked at her pulse point. Pulled away and then went in for the kill, biting down and sucking. Hard. Emma closed her eye's tightly and moan. "Fuck Regina. Wait."
"Hmm.." Regina continued sucking only to slightly move up to suck and lick a little higher on the blonde's neck.
"Wait. Wait. Regina." Emma said grabbing her by the shoulders and pushing her away. "We should uh. We should stop." Emma breathing heavy.
Regina pouted with puffed red kissed lips. "Why?"
"God, you're so fucking cute. Fuck. Ugh… Because you have a boyfriend."
"I'm gonna break up with him though," Regina said trying to kiss Emma again.
Emma shook her head keeping the brunette in place. "Well, I think you should do that first."
Regina sighed pulling away "I thought you liked me."
Emma laughed "Are you kidding me? Of course, I like you. I mean… Have you seen you?" Regina blushed. "Look I just… You aren't the kind of person to cheat on someone. I know that. You know that. So before this gets any worse. You should break up with Robin and then… Maybe we can I don't know… Go on a date or something." Emma said shyly with a shrug. "Plus we shouldn't start a relationship or whatever this is like this. Not with you dating someone else."
Regina smiled and nodded "You're right. And I'd... I'd really like that. Ya'know the date thing." Regina said with slightly pink cheeks.
"Good. So soon?"
"So soon." Regina sighed with a nod to confirm. "I guess we should head back into the party huh?"
Emma nodded "Probably." They both stood up. Emma grabbing Regina empty cup and her beer, finishing it off she put the butt of her cigarette in the beer, and she threw them both in the trash can outside on the porch. Walking towards the door behind Regina Emma stopped. "Hey, Regina." The girl started to turn around to face the blonde but before she could fully turn herself around her hand was grabbed and she was being pulled as close as possible to the blonde. "I said stop but I just gotta do this one more time before we go in." And with that Emma crashed her lips on to the smaller girl's lips. Kissing her with as much passion she could muster up just in case the brunette couldn't go through her break up. Emma bit down on Regina bottom lip sucking on it slightly causing the girl to moan out letting Emma slip her tongue in her mouth. Tasting the brunette one last time Emma pulled back pressing her forehead to Regina's.
"Wow," Regina said eyes closed. Emma chuckled and pecked her lips once. Twice. And a third just in case. Emma pulled back grabbed the girls hand and led her back into the house. The two girls walked back into the kitchen and of course, her friends were still there and it seemed they were all officially drunk. They all looked to be hysterically laughing when Ruby looked up and noticed the two.
"Oh, how nice of you two to- Wait what the fuck Emma! What's on your neck?"
'Shit.'
