L'Amour De Paris; The Regina Mills Story
Chapter Ten
The cops come in and interrupts the pair, they begin to question after Vanessa is taken away for medical attention, her face was covered with her own blood, multiple flesh Wounds on her face, when Emma Swan was questioned from afar, Regina was observing the woman who was really nervous and beginning to grow anxious, Emma is biting her bloody nails, and her hands were shaking a little while she answers.
Robert comes in, looking disturbed and worried, he quickly goes to Regina with an attitude and anger in his tone saying.
"I told you to keep your distance!..are you insane!... did you see what you got yourself into?!, the tabloids are going to have a field day with this!..", he bangs the counter out of frustration while Regina responds with concern.
"I know this is all my fault, but I need you to walk in there and talk to the police, Emma is being questioned and is not looking good, she can't be arrested for protecting me...", Regina almost begs with her pleading eyes, Robert starring seriously, taking a couple a couple of breaths while his hands are on his waist, he then brushes his hair and says.
"I'll be right back..." Robert walks out of the room leaving Ruby and Regina alone. They side eyed once and didn't share another word. A few minutes later, Emma comes out with her hands cuffed behind her back, Regina loses it and hugs her for protection, she then pushes the police screaming;
"Let her go, she didn't do anything! Do you know who I am?!, do you want me to call my husband?!, you will all lose your pathetic jobs!...", Regina continues to bark at the men while Robert tries to calm her down, holding her back while saying.
"Regina she's just going to the police department for more questioning, it was a big beat down and the police need more details and explanations..." Robert tries to continue to explain but Regina was terrified,
looking at Emma who's not showing any emotion but knowing she is hiding her fear, the blonde slowly speaks in a soothing tone;
"Gina calm down, it's just for questioning, it will be ok, I promise...", Emma is tied but responds to Regina who reaches for another hug, Ruby is in the back, pissed and angry just observing the pair while Regina grabs Emma's face and says;
"I'm going to call Daniel he has a great lawyer, in a couple of hours you'll be out, I promise...", Emma didn't respond, she shares a hopeful look and the police just take her away, leaving Robert, Ruby and Regina behind. Regina makes the phone call while Ruby walks out and announces she will be at the police department, when Daniel picks up Regina quickly speaks with desperation.
"Daniel!, Emma just got arrested, there was a crazy fan inside my room and she beat her up and now they're taking her for questioning and...Daniel you need to get her out...", Regina is breathless trying to explain while she grabs her purse and heads out with Robert to the Police department.
They are waiting anxiously, Robert needed to leave to keep business going but asked Regina to keep him posted, Ruby is left resting her back and looking from one side to another, she passes from left to right while Regina is doing the same without making any comments, Ruby breaks the silence.
"This is all your fault..." Ruby faces the woman while Regina simply responds with calmness.
"Now is not the time Ruby...", Regina tries to avoid eye contact and move away but the young lady continues to argue.
"You shouldn't have gave her the job!..." Ruby shouts and Regina responds, slowly but surely getting annoyed.
"My husband gave her this job, and you know what?!, you're right!...as long as I keep her like this I will probably destroy her, and for that reason...after the next event Emma and I are going away together and not much later, we will be public...", Regina wanted to continue but Ruby clears out by saying.
"She is my girlfriend!..", Ruby points out and Regina quickly stares down and says.
"She's not your girlfriend Ruby, she was never yours in anyway...", Regina implies while Ruby reacts by approaching closer to the woman, hands on her hips while saying.
"Really because I don't recall seeing you in our bed for five years...", Ruby loses half a breath when Regina pushes her against the wall.
"I don't care what you think you had with her, but I can assure you...It wasn't half of what we had and still have...Emma was just seventeen when we...", Regina was wanted to give out some of the story but Ruby dismisses by saying;
"I know I know… I read some of your stupid book!.. just because you deflowered her doesn't make her your piece of property Regina, people do move on...", Ruby says while Regina starts to get emotional.
"It's not about that, we...we made a commitment, she was so young and...she trusted me to be her first and she was the first woman I've ever been with...that's how our 'I'm yours and your mine' came up as a reminder, we couldn't see each other with anyone else...", Regina is almost lost in memories when Ruby interrupts, crossing her arms in disbelief.
"If you care about her so much you wouldn't have left her in Paris while you were living the luxury life with Mr. Millionaire, you didn't even come back for her, you just moved on, Ironic you think Emma couldn't do the same...", Ruby waits for a response as Regina's eyes begin to water.
"These past five years I've been numb, it's like I was living a double life while the first one was left in pause, after Emma came into my life a few months ago, I feel like I got my air back...", Regina still looks distracted while Ruby slowly walks back and whispers.
"I'm leaving, and I hope you're serious of taking her with you and leaving all this back, because next time I'm not going to be there to save her...", Ruby walks out of the police department leaving Regina alone in her thoughts.
While Red walks out of the department the lawyer comes in walking, he sees Regina looking down at the floor with a concerned look and asks;
"Are you Regina Mills?...", The man extends his hand for her to shake and she responds to it and says.
"Yes!, are you the lawyer?...please she's in there all alone and I'm afraid she will be misunderstood or they will confuse her...", the man nods and listens to the woman's desperate words, he begins to walk while responding.
"I'll do what I can Miss. Mills...try to stay calm...", Regina is left with an ill-concealed feeling of anxiousness, she again rests her back and crosses her arms while looking towards the door where the lawyer enters, she didn't even ask for his last name or introduce herself properly, her only concern was Emma and getting her out with no charges.
After an overnight of questioning...
Emma Swan comes out with no cuff on her hands, walking next to Daniel's lawyer, she looks restless, eyes looking dry and droopy, her hair is in a messy ponytail , as she gets close to Regina who showed nothing but relief in her eyes, the brunette runs towards Emma gives her a big squeeze, making the lawyer a little
confused of the affection shown by Regina, but he doesn't meddle in, he simply extends his hand towards the pair, both of them thanking him for his services and he walks out without a single word.
Regina walks out with Emma, the blonde explains that since it was self-defense and she had one firearm and one knife and her behavior before that made it relevant so she can be let go without no charge. They finally got into the hotel, the isle where it divides their facing rooms, Regina pulls Emma for a kiss as the blonde pulls her closer and responds to it, Regina breaks the kiss and says;
"I want you to come by my room at midnight, I have something to give you... but I want you to rest and freshen up...", Regina brushes her golden locks towards the back while Emma shows a sweet smile and responds.
"Ok, I'll see if Ruby is still at the room, I really need to speak with her...", Emma observes Regina looking down and up as she says.
"She was waiting with me back at the police department, we got into an argument and she left...", Regina just left it at that, not wanting to give any detail of the argument while Emma nods having an Idea of what might be the reason they went at it while she was being questioned. They part their ways while Emma sweetly says.
"I'll see you later...", Emma smiles again and Regina responds with one herself. They both close their door and are left to their own time.
Ruby is packing, she looks disappointed, drying her eyes while she forcedly closes her suitcase, Emma observes for a few seconds trying to word out what she wants to say to the young lady, Emma might not be in-love with Ruby Red, but she does care very much for the woman, she took her out from the deep hole Regina left her in five years ago, so yes, seeing her so upset does makes Emma sad and concerned. "Leaving so soon...?", Emma says almost in a whisper, without finding any other words to say, Ruby looks up a little surprised but then continues to put her suitcase down from the bed while answering.
"There's no other reason for me to stay, you're still in love with Regina and I would just have to accept it, I just hope she doesn't pull you to a dark hole again...Because as much as i love you Emma, I'm not going to be there this time...", Ruby is closer to Emma, talking straight at her eyes, with hope into changing her mind and convincing her that her best chance into a better life is maybe not with her, but far from Regina Mills. Obviously that didn't work.
"Ruby, I appreciate what you did for me, I really do and I will always care for you no matter what, and I know you think Regina and I... Is a mistake and well...I don't expect you to understand...but I do love her Ruby, she's in here...", Emma signals her chest where her heart is placed while Ruby breathes in the feeling of being punched in the same area, she quickly questions.
"Do you think she loves you, if it wasn't because you came to work for her accidentally she wouldn't have searched or even care if you were dead or alive!, tell me something Emma..., do you really think she loves you the way you do, honestly...", Ruby's tear fell from her left eye while her voice trembles in emotions. Emma looks down while placing her hand in her pockets as she's used to, it takes a few seconds before she answers.
"Yes Ruby I believe I do, again, I don't expect you to understand...we just thought we were over each other...then we realized we weren't...", Emma's mouth is semi open after her last word, not knowing what else to say while Ruby shakes her head in disappointment.
"I see there's no way in convincing you, good bye Emma...", Ruby walks out with her suitcase shutting the door behind her while Emma is left giving a long thought on what Ruby said.
Regina is laying on her bed semi naked, only wearing black underwear and a small white shirt, biting her lip in concentration on to what she wants to prepare before Emma knocks on the door, she grabs her IPhone and makes a call;
"Hi!, Is this "Love Planet Company"?, I need some things to be delivered to my room...", Regina writes down a list while she speaks with the man on the other end of the phone.
After a few hours of rest and preparation for Regina while Emma just slept the whole day trying to fulfill her lack of sleep, Regina is throwing pebbles at 11:56 p.m. just a few minutes before midnight, they're red, black and white bags every two steps of the red pedal road, candles were lit close to the bed but not to close to make it dangerous and huge amounts of petals spelling a question with a brown teddy bear holding something in between and balloon hearts, Regina smiles when she looks at it again, a little insecure but decided on what she is about to do, her red nightgown and her fluffy dark locks in place.
There's a knock at the door, Regina takes one good look at the mirror and walks to receive while Emma Swan is nervous on the other side, her hands are in her pockets again, wearing nothing but a sports bra and joggers, her blonde hair looking messy but still making her look incredibly sexy. Regina opens the door and says.
"I see you got quiet comfortable and more relaxed...come in, I got something ready for you...", Regina gives her the flirty and mysterious look as she scans Emma up and down, it just turns her on how the blonde can look so unbelievably stunning with her sporty attire. Emma side smiles as she walks slowly inside, she freezes at the beginning of the rose peddles, her eyes wide as she whispes almost to herself but is still being heard by Regina.
"Regina...was this...?", Emma is stunned, she was really not expecting such a beautiful gesture, there's no reason this time, no birthdays, valentines day or Christmas and usually back then when they use to share the apartment it was Emma who did the gestures. Regina hugs her from behind, giving her a peck on the cheek and talks calmly.
"I wanted to do something for you, I can't fix the past or the decisions that I made, but I can definitely change our future..", Regina holds her sweetly, while Emma is still rather shocked, she spots a few bags every few feet at a distance on top of the pedals, she asked curiously.
"What's in the bags...", She still is not responding appropriately, almost not knowing what to do with herself. Regina notices and smiles as she responds.
"Well, I guess you will have to find out, don't you Miss. Swan?", Regina turns to face the woman and gives her a hug, she can't explain it. but she's scared, for some reason she is scared of what could come out of this, but Regina is looking gorgeous, her perfume that reminded her of baby powder is driving her insane, she kisses her, resting her hands on her rear, she just wants to feel her close, very close but Regina breaks the kiss.
"Let's not go backwards this time, why don't you follow the red petals and see where it leads you...", Regina suggests while turning Emma back at it by the waist, biting her lips feeling all of the sudden good about what she put together, Emma looks, observing everything in it, she decides to walk while holding Regina's hand not letting the woman go until she kneels and looks into the first bag, it has a picture and little paper with only one sentence written, it said.
"I was saving you not knowing I was also saving myself...", that first picture of the first day Emma was moving in with Regina after the incident in the dorms, the picture showed them taking a selfie in their tank tops, without makeup and looking somewhat sweaty with the whole moving thing. Emma's eyes start to water right off the spot, she wasn't prepared for this, of course this is something she wouldn't expect Regina to do at this point in time but she did, and is warming her heart by each half a second. She looks up at Regina who was smiling and also beginning to get emotional. She stands up and continues to the second bag who also carried another piece of paper and picture, reading;
"The first time I knew you felt attracted to me when I forgot my towel and you almost spit your cornflakes on me by surprise..", Emma laughs a little holding the picture of another selfie of them hanging out on Regina's bed for a movie night, she remember that day like it was yesterday. Regina pets her hair sweetly as she shared the emotion with her.
Emma walks towards the third bag, she takes out the picture first this time, it's her in bed, naked with no knowledge of the picture being taken, but does remember when it was taken, it was the day she presented her first date with a guy which caused the first jealousy reaction for Regina, the brunette knew she was a virgin and for her to just give that away to someone who knows wouldn't love her the way she did, made her steam out of jealousy, she waited until Emma said goodbye after a simple good night and pinned her on the door, without a question, without any other word being said, they just knew, sharing a breath Regina just lands a good pressed kiss, Emma closes her eyes, body shaking out of her muscles as she reciprocates and kisses Regina back, holding her by the waist as Regina slowly leads her to the room, both feeling perfectly ready, like the right moment had finally came and that day Regina Mills deflowered Emma Swan and takes a picture in the morning which the blonde is now holding in her hands with a piece of paper reading.
"I knew you were for me the second I met you...", Emma breathes in, tears are running down, she doesn't say a word, these are all quotes from her book, Emma hasn't read it but is almost sure is for fact. Emma walks inside the room and Regina walks beside and stands in front of Emma who is now observing the bed with the huge bear and balloons, Regina speaks.
"If I ever made you feel worthless, I'm sorry. If I ever made you feel you're not good enough, I'm sorry, If I ever treated you badly or made you feel insecure of anything, I'm sorry..", Regina chokes up while Emma is just staring at the woman while her voice breaks up in her last sentence, she is walking towards Emma slowly.
"If I ever…chose something or someone else as a priority...I'm sorry", and if I never made it clear how much I love you...", Regina takes off her wedding ring and hugs Emma tight while the blonde just lifts her hands, feeling blown away by her love, Regina looks at Emma's eyes and continues.
"I'm sorry...I love you, I've always loved you...", Regina just stares at Emma and the blonde, kisses her she feels her lips and squeezes her tight and responds.
"I thought I would never hear you actually say it...I love you too..", Emma begins to kiss her again and Regina breaks it almost out of breath.
"I have something for you...", she brings her closer to the bear and balloons, she sees something shining and a sentence written in peddles, Regina quickly hugs her from behind again while the blonde is standing in shock covering her mouth out of surprise, the sentence reads;
"Emma, would you be in the sequel of my book..", Emma is processing, she could expect anything else in the world except this, as she sees the ring above the sentence held by a medium sized brown bear, Regina breaks the silence as she reaches for the ring.
"I know you weren't expecting this, but I can't continue to do this to you, or to Daniel. Neither of you deserve to be treated the way I have, I will leave Daniel a letter and after the weekend passes and the event on Monday, we will leave that night, just you and me, Daniel's money won't be involved, I have my own funds that will cover all of our necessities, and I will find my own team to work with for the second book...", Regina is waiting for a reaction but Emma is standing blankly with her mouth opening and closing without any word coming out, Regina decides to continue.
"I will explain to Daniel every detail in that letter and also will file for divorce, if I need to meet him after I will and accept my mistakes, I don't want to break his heart but it's not fair for him either...my heart lies with you, it has always been with you. What do you say Miss. Swan?" Regina extends her hand that carried the ring box, waiting for Emma to answer her final question.
"Are you willing to commit to me, forever?..."
