I kissed a woman!
(Perhaps you know this already if you're watching over me, but I'd like to think you don't see EVERYTHING I do.) If that's true, I know this may seem sudden, because I haven't written in a few months. It's not really. We had a proper date and all. Through I was reluctant to leave Henry for the night. He didn't seem to mind though. He loves my neighbors, John and Josephine. All their grandchildren are in New York so they like to spoil him with dollar store candy and toys. It's disturbingly hilarious.
Back to the date.
Diana actually set it up. No, I didn't "come out" to her or anything. Boldly enough, she asked me one of the times she called after the adoption was finalized. She said she had suspected my preference and that the only reason she was asking was because she wanted me to meet someone. Naturally I was reluctant to admit it let alone meet anyone. However when she told me it was her older sister, I knew that I had to. One, so that I didn't appear rude. And two, because if her sister was anything like Diana herself than I knew we would at least get along. She said that her sister was more sophisticated and more like I am. I didn't understand at the time but once I arrived at the table this evening to find a woman in a tailored dress and blazer, I started to understand.
Darla, her sister, looks very much like Diana herself: long red hair, skinny nose and perfect teeth. She is nice in a less outgoing way than her sister but makes up for it with smiling a lot. She is a Dentist with a Practice in Palm Coast and insisted that I teach Henry the proper way to floss early in life. Flossing is just another thing that I hadn't thought about when it comes to Henry but am now stressing.
We ate at a fancy seafood place facing the beach and she insisted on paying. When we left the restaurant we walked along the beach for a while. Then before we headed back, she asked if she could kiss me. How sweet is that? I don't think I'd ever been asked before. Sure, I've gotten cheesy lines which let me know it was going to happen, but no one had ever been that polite about it.
The kiss was nice. There was no spark, but her lips were soft and I got a certain thrill from knowing it wasn't a man.
The night ended nicely and we said we'd do it again soon so we'll see how it goes I suppose. I left and got Henry and now here I am.
I needed to tell someone. And even though I'm not so lonely now, that person still has to be you.
Don't hate me for this chapter and don't worry. These small chapters are all about Regina changing and growing into her own person. There will be SwanQueen really soon though!
