Regina's pov
I close the bathroom door and put my head against it and close my eyes.
Idiot, I think to myself. As I usually don't let Zelena's teasing get to me as much as this one did but it hit a nerve.
I realize now, that my feelings run deeper than I thought.
I now open my eyes and pull away from the door, walking over to the sink and putting my toiletry bag down. Before then looking into the mirror at myself and seeing a pained look upon my face.
I need to forget the whole thing, I think to myself bitterly and I look down at the sink and bring my hand up to turn on the tap. Before then splashing my face.
Fifteen minutes later, Having washed my face, brushed my teeth and spent minutes pacing up and down with worry about what Emma thinks of my behaviour. I decide to head back out into the room.
I hesistantly open the door and walk out, whilst holding my breath. I see Emma closing her wardrobe door and she looks over to me but then quickly looks away and down to the floor, like she has gone something wrong and I frown because none of this is her fault.
So I put my toiletry bag down and walk over to her and bring her chin up with my hand. Until we are eye level.
"I'm sorry Emma" I tell her softly. "I shouldn't have snapped at you"
Emma's eyes then seem to brighten and she moves away to pick up her tablet and she writes, Are you okay now?
"Yes" I reply which is partly true and I smile at her and say "I hope we can go back to normal and try to enjoy this holiday as much as we can"
Sounds like a great idea, Emma writes down and shows me, before stepping back and going over to the bed and I watch her, while wringing my hands together.
The next morning, I wake up to the alarm that is playing on my phone. I reach out and turn it off, Before turning around to face Emma who still is sleeping.
She really is beautiful inside and out, I think to myself with a smile and I begin to nudge her to wake up.
"Em-ma" I say with a widening smile, as her eyes start to open "Its time to wake up we got to meet our parents and see my annoying sister in an hour"
Emma then frowns and pulls the duvet cover over her head, which makes me roll my eyes.
I then turn over and pull the covers back and get up.
"I'll use the bathroom first then" I tell her and I grab my toiltery bag, before heading off into the bathroom.
I close the door and walk over to the shower, turning the tap on and waiting until I get the tempreture just right. I then get out of my night clothes and step into the shower.
The hot water on my skin feels so good and I can't help but think about, what it would be like if Emma was in this shower with me. It certainly is big enough for both of us.
I then groan in frustration, as thoughts like these have started invading my mind.
I try to forgot my line of thought and wash myself quickly, before then grabbing a towel and wrapping it around myself.
I then make sure it is secure, before opening the bathroom door and walking out to find that Emma is now sitting up and she looks over at me with widening eyes.
I however, just smile shyly at her and go to the wardrobe to get my clothes out for the day. I don't realize that Emma is gawking at me.
"Are you going to go use the bathroom now?" I then ask, turning around to look at her "So, I can get changed or do I have to go back into the bathroom?"
Seconds pass and she hasn't answered me and instead is staring at me with a slightly open mouth.
"Emma?" I then say more seriously and tilt my head, I'm certainly curious as to why shes looking at me like that.
However, before I can think about it futher she blinks and looks away grabbing her tablet from the side table.
You can stay here, I will go to the bathroom now. She writes and shows me.
I then nod and hold my dress against my front. As I suddenly feel self concious and I watch as Emma quickly gets out of the bed goes to the wardrobe to grab her clothes for the day.
I've never seen her move so quick to get out of bed before and I hope she's not uncomfortable by me just being in a towel.
A moment later however and without looking at me, she heads into the bathroom and closes the door.
I then sit upon the end of the bed and sigh. I wish I knew what was going through her head.
At breakfast, we are all sitting around the table on the pergola and enjoying the food that is in front of us.
"This croisant is wonderful" Emma's mother says as she bites into it.
"Its all wonderful" David replies, as he shares an adoring look with his wife and my mother rolls her eyes, before then looking over to me.
"Is your room satisfactory?" she asks.
"Yes its fine" I reply softly and then she asks "Did you sleep well?"
"Very well" I reply, which is partly a lie because I had spent at least an hour awake, thinking about everything.
"And how about you Emma?" she looks to Emma. Who blinks and writes down, Great thanks. How about you?
I then smile at how considerate Emma is and I notice that my mother is pleased by her response.
"It was more than acceptable" she answers and smiles.
We then continue to eat with small talk in between, until Zelena says "So..how was your stroll?" to me and Emma.
I immediatly clench my jaw. I am not going to rise to her teasing this time.
"Fine. We actually didn't spend long outside and just went up to the room to relax" I tell her casually.
"I bet" Zelena then mutters so low, that I think that I am the only one who heard it, as she was sat next to me on my right.
Thats it, I think to myself and mutter "Can I talk to you privately" back to her and she gives me an odd look before I say "Me and Zelena are going to get some more drinks" to the others.
"Are we?" she says with a smirk and I just stand up and gesture for her to stand up and we walk over to the bar.
"What is this all about sis?" she says to me, once we reach the bar.
"Seriously? what is with you saying that me and Emma were going on a romantic stroll and that I bet you just muttered over there" I gesture back to our table.
Zelena rolls her eyes.
"Seriously sis? your taking this way to seriously" she tells me with a sigh.
"Well, I don't like you saying things like that infront of everyone. Especially Emma"
"But I am only trying to give you both a helping hand"
I stare at her confused.
"Helping hand?"
"Yes, its totally obvious that you feelings for eachother" she says bluntly.
I gape at her.
"The longing looks the coy smiles are all very sweet but you are doing nothing about it" she then adds.
"I dont have feelings" I then snap and its a lie but I dont want her to know that.
"Of course you don't" Zelena says to me sarcastically and I glare at her.
Theres a pause, as the bar tender asks what I want to order.
"You should tell her on this holiday. If you don't I will" she then says to me, when the barman turns away and she smirks as she see's my eyes widen.
"You will not" I say seriously. "I will never speak to you again if you do"
"You make that sound like a bad thing" Zelena chuckles and I roll my eyes and look back to the table. Seeing that Emma is looking at me and she gives me a little wave and a smile. Its so cute and I can't help but smile back and think, maybe Zelena is right...
A/N Merry christmas everyone. I'm hoping to get the next chapter written and uploaded by new year.
