Mills' Confession

Emma picked up the phone as she heard Regina sighing; she eyes Mal who raised eyebrows and continued eating.

'Are you home?' Regina asked.

'Um, no.'

'Obviously, I'm in front of your house right now.' Regina said casually.

'Why are you at my house?' Emma exclaimed causing Mal to stare at her. She faintly smiled as she sipped her cup calmly.

'I told you I'll show you the real me.' Regina replied.

'Yeah. Tomorrow.' Emma pointed out as Regina muttered something quietly.

'Well things didn't go as they planned and I decided to come today.' She said, Emma could feel a smug smile on Regina's face as they stayed silent. The blonde huffed as she looked at Mal eating her taco.

'Well I'm sorry you evil queen you,' Emma said wanting to sound meaner than it did 'But I'm with Mal right now.'

Emma heard Mal choke on her burger as she looked at Emma like she had just dug her grave for her. She heard Regina grumble a few curse words before taking a deep breath in. Emma gulped waiting for her to get angry and destroy Emma's home but instead she whispered something like she was afraid someone would hear.

'Hurry back then. I miss you.' Emma widened eyes as her breath sucked in and heart fluttered at those words. This is the first time regina had said she missed her.

'Okay. Just stay put and don't freeze your ass off.' She finally managed to croak out and hang up. Emma took a second to calm down, she couldn't believe Regina said that. She couldn' believe the high and mighty Regina Mills said that she missed Emma Swan. She was sure this was no big deal but if someone's crush say they miss you, who would not be freaking out.

'Regina said something unexpected?' Mal asks almost reading Emma's mind.

Emma cleared her throat giving a nod. 'I need to go home.' She said, Mal frowned as she sighed.

'But you hardly ate you're food.'

'I'll ask for a box to eat at home.' Emma said smiling faintly, placing hands in her hoodie pocket. Mal groaned as they asked the employees for takeout boxes. Both head out toward the motorcycle as Mal continued to pout and whine about their yet to be fun day. Emma just crinkled her nose and repeatedly said sorry.

As soon as her house was in sight, Emma's heart beat faster and stomach filled with butterflies. Soon seeing Regina as she had a grey long coat on, she could see her breathing into her hands as she rubbed them together for warmth. Mal parked his bike and Regina's brown eyes wandered to them.

Her smile faded as eyes reached to Mal. Regina pursed lips and frowned.

Mal couldn't even look Regina in the eyes; head looked down toward the motorcycle as she gripped the arms of the machine. Emma could feel the tension between both of them as she flickered her eyes around them.

'Emma,' Regina said.

'Yeah?' Emma said hesitatingly.

Regina flickered eyes back at the blonde and smiled which she wasn't expecting. 'Took you long enough.'

Her arm went around Emma's shoulders as the girl mentally let out a sigh of relief and faintly smiled back but felt weird with Regina's arm around her as cheeks heated up. She glanced up at Mal, their eyes met the usual soft eyes were now dark and dull. Mal broke the stare.

'I guess I'll leave you two now.' Mal said. Regina nodded, pulling Emma closer. 'Bye Emma, see you next time.' She sped off as Emma watched her fade away. As soon as Mal disappeared Emma pushed Regina away as the girl raised hands up in shock, Emma scoffed at her and headed to the door rumbling around for her keys.

'What the hell was that for dear?' She exclaimed. Emma scoffed at her again more harshly.

'For making Mal uncomfortable.' The blonde answered putting keys in the lock of the door and going in with Regina following behind. Emma dumped the bag on the couch as she ran her hand through her hair.

'I thought you were teasing me about being with Mal.'

'Well apparently I wasn't.' Emma said tone full of venom.

Regina groaned with frustration as Emma shrugged her off and headed off to the kitchen. She went in the fridge to grab a bottle of water and poured a cup. Placing her hand on the counter, taking sips trying to relax. Emma soon heard footsteps coming in as she rolled eyes knowing it was Regina trying to pick another fight.

'Don't.' The girl stated. How could she act so childish right in front of Mal? Mal was like her other sister and Regina made her look like a criminal just by being with her.

'I want to say sorry.' Regina said. Emma turned to her and took another sip of her water.

'Go ahead.'

'I said I wanted too, I didn't say I was going to.' Emma scoffed again and placed her drink down. She really was trying to pick a fight with the girl. Biting the inside of her cheek to contain herself not screaming at the girl.

'I'm not sorry that I was jealous.' Regina continued to say as she moved closer 'I'm not sorry for being mad when I saw your hands on her waist as you two came up to the house.'

Her hands gently touched Emma's, she could feel hot breath on her. 'I'm certainly not sorry that I'm falling madly in love with you.' Regina chuckled.

Heart started beating fast and irregular as eyes gleamed at Emma. Regina smirked and let go of her hand, Emma ignored the sudden emptiness that came.

She chuckled again which also made Emma's heart flutter 'I'm going to choose a movie to watch.' She took her grey long coat off and lay it in her own hand, torso wearing a black blazer which showed a toned body. Emma gulped at the sudden show; Regina caught her staring and flashed a smug grin.

'Stop staring and make popcorn Miss Swan' she teased and walked back to the living room with hands running through her dark hair. As soon as the kitchen door shut, Emma leaned on the counter furious but mostly embarrassed of what just happen. She was supposed to be angry at Regina but she just comes and tells her she loves Emma and she's swept off her feet. The tall blonde rubbed her neck to relax.

'I'm certainly not sorry that I'm falling madly in love with you.' Regina's voice echoed repeatedly over and over in Emma's head as she bit her lip to contain the madness that was going on in her head. How the hell was she suppose to act normal after what just happened? Was she supposed to be mad at Regina! If Regina Mills thinks just doing a smooth hit on her was going to make Emma forgive her for what she did with Mal; she had another thing coming.

'What's taking so long?' Emma heard Regina yell interrupting her thoughts 'The movie is about to start!'

Emma mentally got ready for what was going to happen. 'Hold on!' She yelled back. The girl went through the snack cupboard and searched for a popcorn bag whilst grabbing a large bowl. Opening the wrapper of the popcorn bag and quickly popping it in the microwave, she put 2 minutes on it tapping fingers and waiting patiently.

It was really quiet in the living room, Emma's curiosity got the best of her and she decided to peek. The TV was on pause as Regina had her head leant on the couch, eyes closed with lips parting slowly. Was she sleeping? Emma wondered why she suddenly came today. The loud beep from the microwave showing that the popcorn was done made Regina jolt up and eyes droop. Did she get enough sleep? Taking the popcorn out she dumped it in the bowl and took it outside to find Regina with feet on the table, Emma looked at her with a glare and she rolled eyes planting feet back down to the ground.

The blonde sat next to her and placed the bowl between them. Regina looked at her with a hint of disappointment as Emma shrugged.

'What movie did you chose?' Emma asked popping a few pieces of popcorn in her mouth.

'The Notebook,' she said.

'Are you serious?' Emma said disappointed, 'I hate sappy movies all sappy movies are they meet, fall in love, something tragic happens, they get through it and are together again.'

'What? I thought all girls like those type of movies?' Regina said shocked.

'Well madam you have the wrong girl then.' Emma muttered which Regina raised both eyebrows at. Emma took the control and logged into Netflix.

'What are you doing?' She asked, eating a handful of popcorn.

'Changing it to a show.' Emma answered turning it to Once Upon a Time.

'Once Upon a Time?'

'Yep, you don't like it?'

'Never seen it before.'

'Well then let's start today; it's my favorite TV show.'

She nodded as the intro came on the TV.

~2 hours later~

Emma turned the TV off as Regina groaned.

'It was getting to the good part!' She whined as Emma laughed at his childlike ways.

'Do you know what time it is?' Emma said concerned about her. 'It's almost midnight Regina.'

She shrugged 'I'm not a baby; I can go home whenever I want.'

'What about your parents?' Regina's eyes suddenly went dark and she pursed her lips. Emma could tell it was a touchy subject and made note to not mention them again.

'They sure as hell don't care,' she answered tone full of hate.

'Where are they?' Emma asked hesitantly.

'Work.' She answered casually. 'Yours? They're not home?'

'It's normal, they have work also.' Regina nodded and smiled afterwards.

'What?' Emma said laughing as Regina's eyes twinkled.

She looked at Emma and grinned wider making her see dimples. Holy shit, Emma had never seen them before. It only made her cuter. 'Just the thought of us alone together makes me smile.'

Emma's heart fluttered again and she pursed her lips. Quickly flushing which only made her more embarrassed.

'You do blush easily.' Emma couldn't believe she remembered that only confirmed the sad truth that she was head over heels in love with Regina Mills.

Emma could tell she was ignoring the subject of telling her about herself. She started to catch on whilst Emma constantly stared at the girl- waiting for her to talk as Regina cleared her throat.

'Let's go to your room.' She said standing up and grabbing Emma's hand making her follow.

'Wait, Why?' Emma asked. 'The couch is fine.'

'I feel more relaxed there dear,' she breathed as Regina dragged Emma into her room, shutting the door behind- Regina jumped on the bed wit arms behind her head as she laid in comfort.

'Well I'm glad you're cozy in my room.' Emma teased as Regina hummed and grinned. 'Well?'

'Well what?'

'Are you going to tell me about yourself?' Emma asked.

'What do you want to know?'

'Everything.' Regina smiled and tapped her chin with a finger then quickly crossed legs as we they next together.

'Well, I'm 18-' Emma cut her off as she laughed a bit.

'Tell me something that I don't know.' Regina sighed and shrugged.

'There's not much to say.' She said shyly. Emma smiled, she did have a cute side.

'Tell me about you, that no one knows about.'

'I read?' She joked as both shared laughs. Emma loved this side of her.

'Really. Tell me something.'

'Erm. My parents are never home. They're too busy with work that's why they hired staff and maids for me.' Emma stayed quiet - shocked that Regina started off with her parents. 'Um, I do the work for them when I get home from school, currently they're in Tokyo doing god knows what.'

'Oh.' Was all Emma managed to say and Regina shrugged.

'I haven't seen my parents in 3 years.' She added and Emma widened her eyes.

'What?!' Emma exclaimed '3 years?!'

Regina nodded but faintly smiled, how can she still smile about that? 'But I'm fine, the staff are nice and they are like my family and I have Ursula, Cruella, Mal, and you.' She said 'So, I'm fine.'

Emma smile at her, Regina returned the favor back. 'I'm sorry that I forced that out of you.' The blonde said and Regina just shrugged again.

'What's your favourite hobby?' Emma asked as Regina smirked at the question.

'Reading.'

'No shit Sherlock.' Emma joked as she let out a small laugh.

'I like painting as well,' Emma was taken aback by the answer as Regina smiled lightly but eyes gleamed in awe.

'I didn't know you paint.'

'Well now you do.'

'Anything else?' Emma asked.

'I like teasing you.' Emma swat at her shoulder as Regina laughed like a child.

'I already know that.' The girl playfully pouted. 'What do you want to be when you're older?' She asked and Regina stared thinking carefully.

'I want to be a writer, an author.' Regina said.

'An author?' Emma questioned as she nodded grinning. 'Well, I better be the first to read your book.'

Regina hummed and shook her head as Emma tilt her own in confusion.

'Don't get your hopes up. My mother wants me to take over her business when I'm older.'

'..But you don't want to, do you?' Emma asked, already knowing the answer. She shrugged again.

'Parents don't listen to their children dear.' She said 'Parent's always ruin things.'

Regina was cut off by the sound of the downstairs door opening; they gave each other worried looks as Emma heard her mother call her name.

'Shit!' She whispered. 'You have to get out.'

'What?' Regina whispered back. 'Why?'

'My mum will freak out if she knew you were here.' Regina creased her forehead, Emma rolled her eyes. 'Just go.'

'But we haven't even finished talking yet.' Regina whispered angrily.

'Emma?' Mary Margret shouted from downstairs.

'Coming!' Emma yelled back. 'Just go Regina we'll talk tomorrow.'

'Okay, Can we go to the somewhere tomorrow?'

'We have school!' Emma whispered.

'We can skip!' Emma opened the window which had a hidden ladder right by the window as she grabbed it and placed it safely down. 'We're going to skip school tomorrow okay?' Regina asked.

Emma gave a 'are you serious' look and Regina rolled her eyes. 'Fine! But I'm taking you to school tomorrow.'

'Regina-'

'It's not a question, I'm taking you.' Emma groaned as she suddenly heard footsteps come up, she pushed Regina towards the window.

'Okay! Okay just go!' Regina smirked and started heading down as Emma watched her go. She made the symbol to call her later and Emma nodded and shooed her off as she got into her car. Emma climbed back to her room and saw a grey coat on the ground. She panicked and stuffed it in her backpack next to her bed just as her mum opened the door.

Emma froze as they exchanged glances. 'What are you doing Emma?' She asked and flickered eyes to Emma and the backpack.

'Oh um. I was just doing homework you know.'

'Oh, Alright. Well you have to make dinner for dad for when he gets home. I'm going to take a shower and go right to bed.' She said as Emma nodded smiling at her.

'Okay, Night mom.'

She waved and closed the door as Emma sighed an air of relief as she heard her bedroom door shut. Emma had to remember to give that to Regina tomorrow. She glanced over at the clock; 10:40pm. Sighing she jolted down the stairs toward the kitchen to make dinner.

Emma put her apron on and decided to make lasagna. Layering each layer for the lasagna piece by piece, she made the lasagna big enough to eat for 4 days. Once she was done and it was steaming hot, Emma placed the batch back in the oven, leaving note for her dad to just reheat the oven to cook them again if they get cold.

She washed her hands before hearing her phone ring; looking around as she shut the water off and dried her hands. Emma followed the irritable ringing and found her bag on the sofa, Emma searched for her phone as she took her apron off. Regina's name came up and Emma let out a smile and answered.

'I thought I was supposed to call you,' Emma mocked as she heard Regina scoff but could tell had a smirk on her lips.

'Sorry Miss Swan I couldn't wait any longer.' Regina replied tone full of sarcasm; Emma let out a giggle and glanced at the clock. Mouth literally dropped to the floor, 3:10 am. She didn't know it was this late.

'Oh my god, it's so late why aren't you asleep?' Emma asked as Regina laughed at the question.

'Why aren't you asleep?' Emma giggled and started heading up the stairs to her room.

'You don't answer a question with another question queenie,' Emma muttered to him.

'Hey! Who the hell are you calling queenie!?' Regina exclaimed and Emma shut the door behind her. Changing into pyjamas, laughing at Regina, climbing under her covers. Did she like Regina? Did Regina really like her?

'Regina?' Emma said.

'Yeah?' She whispered.

'Why do you like me?' Emma asked, silence followed through as Regina huffed and chuckled a bit.

'I fell in love with you. I don't know how, I don't know why. I just did.' The brunette breathed; Emma flushed at her answer and was ready to die with massive butterflies in her stomach.

'That's a sucky answer.' Emma said quietly as she could still feel the heat on her cheeks, Trying calming down but couldn't help but smile.

'Well that was a sucky question.' Regina replied playfully.

'I can't believe I'm in love with an idiot.' Emma blurted, but right as the words come out she quickly shut her mouth. Oh no. She could hear Regina take a deep breath. Silence came over them and Emma laid there drowning in nervousness.

'So,' Regina breathed 'You love me too?' Emma could hear her voice hoarse as she croaked it out.

'That's a sucky question.' Emma smiled whilst Regina started laughing. 'You're such an idiot not to notice you know that?'

Emma could hear muffled crying in the background a she suddenly grew worried. Was Regina Mills crying?

'Regina, are you crying.'

'No,' her voice was low and muffled and Emma could tell she was lying.

'Why are you crying?' Emma asked confused that the apparently heartless Regina Mills was crying on the phone to her.

'Because,' she sniffled. 'I'm just lying here, overwhelmed at how much I'm in love with you right now.' She breathed as Emma felt her heart melt.

~The Next Day~

Emma woke up to the sound of her father knocking loudly, 'Emma! Wake up! Or I'll come in and rugby tackle you my number one sports player!' He yelled.

She jolted up; taking a glance at her clock. Shit! Emma should've be awake 10 minutes ago! Quickly she yelled for her dad to know she was awake.

Hurrying to the bathroom to freshen up, she started to change her clothes, a sweater with black leggings and a pair of toms. Brushing her hair back into a tight ponytail, she grabbed her bag. Emma checked herself one more time in the mirror to make sure she at least looked decent and not like she'd just rolled out of bed. Running downstairs about to head toward the door, her mum stopped her.

'Emma,' her mum patted her shoulders as she gleamed brightly. 'Regina Mills is outside waiting for you!' She squealed as Emma rolled her eyes, she really didn't understand why she liked her so much.

'The Regina Mills?!' Emma's dad shouted in the kitchen. Mary Margret squeaked with glee and nodded her head as she joined Emma's dad in the kitchen as Emma could hear them small talk. What did they mean 'the'? She knew Regin was famous in her school and all but why did her parents get worked up about her so much? Actually, Emma didn't want to know.

'Well I'm leaving first, bye.' Emma muttered as she left and was met by Regina leaning on her mustang, wearing a T-shirt that was had the word 'NEW' written in big black letters and black jeans with a black jacket. As eyes met Emma's, she smirked as Emma walked up to her and the bright car.

'Took you long enough sleepy head.' Emma shrugged. She couldn't really get a good night sleep because of what happened last night.

'Rough sleep, you know.'

'You were almost late for school you know that right?' Regina mocked 'First time for everything Swan.' Regina opened the car door for Emma and signalled her to get in as she grinned. Emma thanked her and climbed in, shutting the door when she suddenly felt a vibrate from her bag. Noticing Regina take a mini jog over to the driver's seat whilst Emma took out her phone to reveal a text from Belle.

Hi babe, sorry for what happened. I didn't mean to blow up on you I was just a bit stressed. I hope you forgive me! Xo

Emma smile as she replied back and obviously forgave her. Regina climbed in and noticed Emma's sudden attitude change, flabbergasted she let a soft smile.

'Whoa, Did I miss something or..?' She teased, Emma shook her head and looked out the window as they drove towards the school. Regina reached over to the radio as the preppy loud music started to play.

'We fell in love in a hopeless place!' She sang obnoxiously. Emma looked at her with an 'oh my god' face as Regina flickered eyes back at her and the road while flashing a movie star smile.

'You have to do better than that Romeo.' Emma said as she laughed.

'Oh so I'm Romeo now?' Regina teased as Emma cooed for her to focus on the road.

'Then,' she breathed. 'Emma Swan, will you be my girlfriend?'

Everything around Emma was slowing down as she tried to process what Regina just said, she looked at her to make sure she was serious, and her face expression was incredibly serious or she just had a good poker face.

'How's that for Romeo?' Regina muttered flashing another heart melting smile.
