it had been almost 4 months now since Regina and Ruby made their deal and things were actually going well. well, as well as it can go in a prison then. at least Regina's ribs were almost completely healed and she wasn't in excruciating pain every time she moved.

When Regina was with Ruby, everyone left her alone. of course, when she was alone the people would still give her threatening expressions and a little push here and there, but none of them dared to hurt, or leaving anything on, Regina. And all Regina had to do to get this luxury was, hugging and occasionally kissing Red.

And even that wasn't so bad, she and Red had become very good friends and they had even told each other their life stories and why they were in this place.

Red had told her how she loved this man, Peter was his name. How they were neighbors since Red's mom died ( she was really vague about how she died) and she came to live with granny since her dad had died when she was 2 ( again she was vague about that as well.). how Peter had lost his mother too, so they had bonded really quick. she was 8 at the time and when they were 10 Peter had told Red he loved her and Red had laughed and bumped his shoulder and told him she "loved him too silly" . but it wasn't until they were 15 that she realized he really loved her when he kissed her and she recognized she loved him too.

It was a beautiful story but of course, it didn't finish well, since, in the end, Red ended up slicing his neck open. She didn't really tell her why tho...

in return, Regina had told Red about her live with her mother and parts of her marriage and even some thinks about Daniel, although she never told her his name. She didn't tell her much tho, she didn't trust her enough to do so.

Now they were in line for their dinner, Granny was cooking today so everyone was desperate to be the first one to taste her lasagna.

when it was finally there turn and Granny handed them their plates she whispered something in Ruby's ear and Ruby let out a little

"yasss"

when they found a nice spot to eat their dinner they started eating.

"so what did Granny say to you?"

"ow , nothing.."

"ow come on she said something just tell me" REuby stuffed her mouth with lasagna

"nothin relly just, ya know huy."

"Rubes come on!" Regina said playfully.

"okay but you have to promise not to tell anyone, okay? "

"okay"

"swear it!"

"okay, I swear it now what is it?!"

Ruby got closer to Regina's ear and said: "she gave me a little more than the rest" that said she burst into laughter. and left Regina with her mouth open. "That's it! Ruby I thought fro a second that you killed someone.. again! " they left together.

"hey, if I had would you think I.."

but then Ruby noticed Abigail and her gang walking towards them.

"quick kiss me," Ruby said and took Regina's head in her hands and guided her lips to hers. Abigail let out an annoyed huff and looked behind her to check on her enormously tall and strong bodyguard with the dragon tattoo on her back, who Regina found out was called Mal, it was short fro something but she didn't know what.

"do you have to do that where I eat?" Abigail asked, "I would just love to be able to eat my dinner without you two swallowing each other in , in ,y line of vision fro ones."

"I'm sorry Abby but I think I don't care mutch about how comfortable you are while eating." Ruby snapped back.

"Red, I have been really nice to you, these last few moths, but you are really overestimating your power in this prison." You could see from the look in Abigail's eyes that she was dead serious and could hit her any moment.

"Rubes, maybe we just have too..."

"No babe! if the princes here wants to have an argument why take that. pleasure away from here?!" she took a threatening step forward.

"I really don't like your attitude Red." Abigail threatened again and took a step forward also.

"ow yeh? well, how would you like my fist in your eye!" Red drew here fist behind her head and was about to hit Abigail where she promised it when a strong hand caught it and put it behind her arm in a painful grip.

"miss Lucas, MR. Humbert is waiting fro you in his office. and he also expects you miss. Midas." Regina heard Emma say.

Emma let go of Ruby and Ruby dragged herself to the overseer.\

Regina turned herself to Emma and said: "thank you so mutch Emma, that could have ended very bad.".

"yeah, sure. no problem. wouldn't want to get stains on your little girlfriend, now would we." she said quiet but lo9ud enough for Regina to hear it.

"excuse me? what is that suppose to mean, miss Swan? "

"you know exactly what I mean, Mrs. Mills." she knew she was hurting Regina by adding Mrs because it would remind her of her married time, but she was pretty pist.

"okay," Regina grabbed Emma by her arm and led her to the sitting area attached to the lunch room where there was only one person there.

"what the hell is going on with you?!"

"me? ow nothing Mrs. Lucas! " she rolled her eyes like a teenage girl to her parents.

"wait, miss swan.. are you..?" Regina burst into laughter. " are you jealous of me and Ruby?!" Emma stayed silent for a while. was she jealous? no right? I mean Regina is one of her prisoners.. a gorgeous prisoner yes but .. no! it's very illegal to have a relationship with a prisoner... wasn't it? Emma never really read that part of the textbook, assuming she would never be in that position. assuming?! no, she isn't in that position...! damn this is confusing...

"I am not jealous of you Regina. it's just. well you don't really talk to me anymore." it was a really lame answer, she knew this but it was better than to stay silent.

"aw, that's um. I'm sorry about that Emma but it's kinda hard to just, go to you for a little chit chat without people thinking we're doing it, you know?" she gave her a sympotic laugh.

"yeah you are right, I over reacted."

"no harm was done, sooo you want to chit chat?"Regina asked with hopeful eyes, she had really missed talking to Emma.

Emma was about to say yes of course , when chaos broke out in the cantine. another food fight. "ugh as amazing as that sounds.. duty calls" she took a deep breath and walked to the cantine. "we'll chit chat soon tho!"

Regina stared at Emma as she ran off, or more specifically she stared at the way Emma's ass bounced when she did that. "ugh those are nice" she murmured but when she realized what she was doing she kicked herself. "what the heck am I doing?! I have a girlfriend.. sort of."

she gathered herself and walked into the now somewhat calmed down room.
