Chapter 8.
Regina woke up and grumbled. Her body ached and felt stiff. She slowly opened her eyes and jumped when she didn't see her bedroom surrounding her.
'Where am...oh I am in the study.'
She relaxed and sat up wondering who had wrapped her in a blanket. In the corner of the room she noticed a mini cardboard city and her mind replayed the events of the previous night. She noticed a piece of paper on the coffee table in the corner. She yawned and walked over to see what it was.
In messy handwriting she saw a note from Emma.
"Madame Mayor, I didn't want to wake you last night, but I didn't want to leave with out saying Goodnight. so here it goes. "Goodnight" nailed it" Regina shook her head at the sillyness but felt her heart thump loudly when she saw the rest of the note. "Love 'Miss Swan'."
She smirked to herself. 'She signed it "Love", if I could leave this town I would run away with her and Henry...I need to make my move tonight. No, I need to be with her. The teasing is too much. I need to know...But what if she rejects me? What if she doesn't?'
Henry burst into the room. "Mom, you never woke me! We are gonna be late."
Regina who was lost in her thoughts, immediatly snapped back in to focus and told Henry to get changed into his uniform while she ran upstairs to get ready. She put on her silk teal blouse and slacks and brushed her hair. And after helping get his project in the back seat they were on their way to school.
After dropping Henry off at school, Regina decided she needed to make a move today. She went to work and waited anxiously for her friend to arrive so she could go through an idea with her.
She smiled at how much she had grown from the woman she was when her only friend was her horse and a tree.
Emma on the other side of town was listening into the recording device as background noise as she ate a pastry.
Katherine knocked on her office and Regina smiled. "Come in!" Emma put down her pastry as she listened in properly. A part of her knew it was wrong but another part needed to listen.
"So how did yesterday go? Get lucky?"
'I wish'
Regina rolled her eyes. "Unfortunately no."
"Okay come on, what happened?"
"She is so perfect and caring. I fell asleep and she wrapped me in a blanket."
"Awh seems she cares for you."
"I need to make my move. Tonight. I need to kiss her, Kath." Emma gulped. 'Tonight she wants to kiss me tonight.'
"Okay wow, um, any plans?" Katherine sounded as shocked as Emma felt.
"I was hoping you would."
"Oh! You could show up to the Sheriff station in a trenchcoat and nothing else..."
'YES PLEASE! I mean, I wouldn't mind that. Oh I bet she would look so good when she drops her coat on the floor and walks towards me...Oh my god, calm down.
Emma crossed her legs and listened to hear Regina shoot down the idea.
"And what if Leroy is in a cell?"
'Fucking Leroy.'
"Her home?"
"And have the possibility of Miss Blanchard open the door. No..."
'I could get rid of Mary Margaret for a night or two.'
"Okay, uh...something romantic...maybe candles and rose petals."
'That is too girly, I liked the other idea better.'
"That is not her style."
"What would be her style? Taking you on this desk."
'Keep it together Emma!'
"Actually..."
'Oh fuck.'
"I was teasing but that could work. Invite her over for a night cap and then have a drink or two and make your move."
'That would totally work.'
"And how do I get her over?"
'Tell her you wanna take her on the desk! Me, tell me.'
"Just tell ask her if she would like to drop by for a drink tonight."
"Simple as that?"
"Yes. Here...give me your phone."
Emma searched for her cell phone and took it out expecting a call but instead had a message.
"Hi, wanna meet for drinks in my office tonight?"
Emma smirked and texted back. "Cya then, count me in. Emma Xx"
"She added kisses to her text Regina, you will get your kiss tonight...maybe more."
Emma blushed and heard a soft thud followed by Katherine saying "Ow."
"You need some fancy underwear, what do you have on?"
'Stop picturing her in underwear. STOP PICTURING HER NAKED!'
"Excuse me?"
"Underwear, what do you have on?"
'You should tell her Regina.' Emma squeezed her legs together.
"None of your business." Regina said in a slightly offended tone.
"Now, I am curious. Cotton briefs maybe with a cartoon character on them?" Katherine teased.
"I am wearing black silk."
Emma gulped as the image of the Mayor in black bra and silk panties appeared in her head. 'How did I get this lucky?'
"And how is...you know down there?"
Emma licked her lips as she listened in.
"What are you asking?"
"Is it...you know...trimmed and ready for visitors..."
"Oh my god, Kath..." Regina sounded disgusted and embarrassed.
"Don't sound so disgusted...is it?"
"Yes." The answer was blunt and to the point.
'Oh fuck.'
"Do you wax or shave?"
"I am not discussing this with you."
"Okay, okay...I was gonna ask if you need protection but then that would be stupid. Maybe pick up some lube...just in case."
'Judging by my body from that conversation she won't need any.'
"Don't you have a shift to cover at the flower shop?"
"Rude, I am just trying to make sure everything goes okay."
"I'm...I'm sorry."
"Thank you...but now that you mention it I did tell Moe I would be there to take over before noon."
"Go ahead."
"Good luck tonight."
"Thank you."
And with that Katherine left her office. Emma took her radio with her and rushed home to take a shower.
She wore a bra that hooked at the front for easier access and the matching panties. She put on a low cut green top and jeans.
Mary Margaret who had gone home during lunch to pick up a lesson plan she had forget that morning watched her roommate do up her shirt.
"What are you doing here, shouldn't you be in work?"
"Shouldn't you?" She mocked as she looked in the mirror.
"Forgot my lesson plan. You look nice."
Emma tucked her shirt in and looked at her roommate with a vulerable look. "Do you think so?"
Mary Margaret curled her lips up into a smile and moved over to fix her friend's hair. "Yes, honey. I bet whoever you are trying to impress will fall head over heels for you."
"Why do you think I am trying to impress someone?"
"I can tell."
Emma smiled back at her and wanted so much to believe Henry that Mary Margaret is her mom, because if she was she would be so lucky.
"So who is he?"
"Uh, well...uh,"
"It is okay, you can tell me when you are ready."
Emma grinned at her trying to show her gratitude. Saying she was into women out loud had always been hard for her and saying it about Regina was harder because of the history Mary Margaret had with her and well the town.
"See you later Emma, I have to head back. Whoever they are, they will be swooning."
Emma shook her head and headed back to the station.
The day was slowly dragging in.
