Chapter 10: The library
She ran, she ran out of the house and down the street. The tears that a minute ago she could hold back were now streaming down her face. Why did she let this person get to her, why didn't she fight back. She should have fought back, she should have fought for Regina.
She could feel her legs getting tired while she keeps running. After a while she noticed that she was heading towards the docks and soon she could see the bench. Her lungs felt like they were going to explode and to make things worse she could feel the first drops of rain splashing on her face. She stopped running and walked over to the bench and sat down. It was getting bad the rain and Emma could feel herself getting cold and drench.
"Emma!" Emma turns around and sees Regina running towards her.
"Regina please don't!" Emma says standing up and keeping Regina an Arm distance away from her.
"Please Emma! You can't go, you can't leave me." She says her voice trembling in fear.
"Your mother is right Regina, I'm no good for you. I can't promise you that I wouldn't leave because I am! This is my summer vacation, I will be leaving in two weeks."
"I know." Regina says voice hoarse. She runs her hands through her hair, thinking, figuring out what's going to happen next.
"I want you!" She finally says. "I want all of you for the next two weeks. I don't care what my mother says. It's me who doesn't deserve you but yet here I am asking to give me all of you."
Emma doesn't hesitate to grab Regina by the back of her neck and crash their lips together. "And I want all of you too."
They keep kissing, nipping an sucking on each other's lips like there's no tomorrow. They're not wearing any coats and the rain is falling harder and harder but they don't care.
"Emma…."Regina whispers her forehead leaning against Emma's. "Your freezing." She says kissing her again.
"I don't care. Keep kissing me."
Regina chuckles and grabs Emma's hand. "I know I place where we can go."
"The library? I thought it was vacant?" Emma says watching as Regina pulls some boards away making an opening for them to climb through.
"Yes it is but they are going to renovate it so it's not that dirty."
And indeed everything was already set to start renovations. Everything was cleaned up and they had started to break out the old floor and replace it with fine wood.
"Come it's this way." Regina says guiding Emma towards a stair that leads them to the clock tower. The clock tower was different then the vacant Library because it didn't look vacant at all. It wasn't dusty or a mess and there like a little Livingroom set at the top of the stairs. There was a rug with a small table and a coach something Emma wasn't expecting to find in a place like this.
"How did all this stuff come up here?" Emma asks plopping down on the coach and pulling Regina with her.
"It used to stand in my father's office." Regina says sliding closer to Emma.
"Why is it standing here?" Emma asks but can't help to moan that escapes her mouth when Regina starts the kiss and suck at her neck.
"Because I wanted to have a private place for myself where I could feel close to him without mother knowing." As much as Emma would love to let Regina continue the kissing, she feels like she needs to open Regina more up about her father.
"Why can't you mother know?" Emma asks placing her hand on Regina chest and pushing her away so she can look in her eyes.
"She didn't like him." She answers to question quickly.
"There more to it isn't it?" Emma guesses and Regina nods. "Tell me about him?"
"I don't blame my mother for not liking him." Regina says taking a hold of Emma's hand. "Daniel's father and my father had a thing in common, they were both drunks. My father wasn't a pleasant man when he was drunk and my mother was many times the victim of his harsh words. It doesn't excuse the way she acts now but I do think it's one of the reasons why she's so cold and bitter. He died because of his addiction, liver failure and my mother never shed a tear. She wanted to close that chapter of our lives and threw away everything that reminded her of him.
I couldn't do that because I was never the victim of his harsh words. I adored my father and have many lovely memories of him. So when she was planning to threw away his office furniture I collected it and brought it here. It's the only place I feel close to him."
Emma lifts Regina hand kisses it. "I understand. You're so wonderful Regina." Regina gives her a soft smile before they close the distance again. She pulls Emma closer and cups her cheek while she softly nibbles at her lower lips. She takes a step forward pushing Emma on to the coach and straddling Emma's lap. "Touch me Emma." Regina whispers in her ear.
There kisses and moans were the only sounds that you could hear. This night was about them, their connection, their growing love for each other and in this moment they forgot their problems and pain and fixed the broken pieces inside them.
The next morning Emma wanted to move but came to the fantastic revelation that she couldn't because Regina was holding her like a little koala bear and refusing to let go.
"mmm don't go Emma. Close your eyes and go back to sleep." The little koala bear groaned and hold on just a little tighter.
"I wish I could but I have to pee." Regina chuckles and kisses Emma cheek before moving away.
"Is there a toilet?" Emma asks while taking her clothes and putting them back on. Regina who was to spell-bound by Emma's naked body didn't answer the blonde put just kept looking at Emma like she was her favourite dessert.
Emma was putting on her bra when she notice Regina stare at her now covered butt. She turns around and pusses the brunette back into the coach and straddles her.
"Did you see something you like?" Emma asks with a cocky smile. Regina nods eagerly and let her hands wonder have Emma's thighs.
"Well the sooner you tell me where I can pee the sooner we can do something about that." She says smiling.
"The closest toilet is at granny's." Regina pouts.
"Well I'm sorry but we are going to have to finish this another time." Emma says giving Regina a kiss on her nose and pushing herself off the brunette. "Put your clothes on an I'm taking you for breakfast."
It's takes Regina a while and she whines a lot but she manages to put on her clothes and leave the clock tower looking decent enough.
"So what are we having?" Emma asks whipping her wet hands dry on her clothes. She joins Regina in the booth again and watches as the brunette let her eyes travel the menu.
"Well it's been a while since I ate any pancakes." Regina had to admit.
"Well pancakes you shall have, my lady." Emma says while waving Ashely over to place their order.
"So in 5 days it's Friday." Emma says making Regina frown.
"Yes I'm well aware." Regina replies not really understanding what the blonde is trying to say.
"But are you also aware that it's the summer festival in town?"
"Emma I live here of course I'm aware."
Before Emma can finally ask the question she's been dying to ask, Ashely comes over and put the plates of pancakes in front of them. Regina starts cutting them in small pieces not noticing how nervous Emma all the sudden is.
"Regina! I'm trying the ask you something." Emma asks a little irritated.
"What?" Regina says putting her cutely down and looking at Emma.
"Do you want to go to the summer festival?...do you want to go with….me?"
Emma bites her lip nervously while she watches Regina shocked expression.
"You…..you want to go with me?" The brunette asks softly.
"Of course I do! Didn't we just spend the entire night together. I really, really like you Regina. I want to go with you."
For a moment Emma was happy when she saw the brunette giving her a bright smile but that her face turned in to a sad frown and she started shaking her head.
"Regina? You don't want to go with me?"
Regina keeps shaking her head. "No! That's not. There's nothing in this world I would want to do more than go with you." Emma smiles at Regina's confession but she had to remind herself that the BUT was coming.
"But my mother has this annual thing, she organizes this party for all the rich and powerful people in Storybrook. She organizes it always the same day as the summer festival and I have to attend and entertain the guests."
Emma pouts. "Well do you have to entertain people the whole evening?" Regina is about the speak but Emma stops her. "Because I could rescue you and take you away." Emma says grinning from ear to ear. "Let me be your saviour."
"Well if you put it, in that way." Regina says leaning forward and kissing Emma's lips.
"Mmm you taste like pancakes." Emma says grinning into the kiss.
"I know you love it." Regina says between kisses.
"I do." Emma says breaking the kiss and looking into Regina eyes. "I think I'm falling in love with you."
