This is by far, my most favorite chapter. Don't forget to leave your reviews, remember they are good for the soul lol enjoy! :)
The weekend was here, which meant the most awaited date was here. Everything was set, to the last reserved table in the banquet hall, to every floral bouquets at the church. Zelena was looking at herself in the mirror, a big smile on her face, while her mother rushed into the room.
"Limo is here. We need to hurry." said Cora, her hand on her chest as she tried to catch a breath.
Zelena glanced over at her still out of breath mother, "Are you alright? It's only a few steps you had to climb, not like Regina's penthouse. Mother, you really need to attend a gym."
"Oh, hush! Let's go, we'll be late- Robin is probably already at the church." Cora rushed her out of the room as they made their way back down the stairs and headed outside.
"Oh! Did I tell you who your daughter is bringing to the wedding as her date? It's a woman." Zelena smirked as she kept up her pace towards the limo.
"A what?!" Cora's shout was heard as the door closed.
Ruby and Graham let themselves inside Emma's apartment, both looking incredibly good. Graham chose to wear a light gray suit with a white shirt and light slik gray tie to match, while Ruby went with a slim red dress that complemented her well. Her ruby red lipstick on point.
"You guys ready?" asked Ruby, whistling as Henry ran out already in his tuxedo. "Henry, looking real sharp! I think you have your uncle Graham beat on the most handsome."
"You look pretty, aunt Ruby." Henry smiled up at the brunette.
"Thank you. Where's your mom?"
A knock was heard at the door as Henry rushed towards it, "I'll get it!" his eyes followed the bottom of a long silk navy blue skirt, it was long enough to cover the heels, followed by a white sleeveless top, covered in several golden sparkles. Regina's skin tone blended in well with the dress, and her hair as flawless as she was.
"Hi, Regina!" Henry hugged her, already feeling very familiar with the woman enough for a hug.
Regina was quick to bend over and hug the boy, smiling, "It's good to see you, Henry." holding on to the boy was enough for her to know she had missed him. "You look so handsome."
"Thanks to you." said Henry, stepping away from the door as he ran towards his mother's bedroom, "Mom, Regina's here!"
Ruby whistled, her eyes looking over Regina, "Emma is going to love you in that dress."
Regina couldn't help but smile at the thought, "Thank you, Ruby. You look outstanding, red suits you."
"Thank you, I know I look hot." Ruby joked as she motioned towards Graham, "This is my boyfriend, Graham." Ruby raised an eyebrow as Graham only stood there with his mouth parted open and in shock as he stared at the beauty that was Regina Mills. Graham grunted as he felt Ruby's open hand slap him on his stomach gently, waking him up from his trance.
"I'm sorry- hi." he walked up to Regina as he extended his hand in greeting, "I'm Graham."
Regina smiled as she shook the man's hand, "It's a pleasure to meet more of Emma's good friends. You look very handsome, if I may say so."
Graham couldn't help but blush, like a teenager who was just told he was cute by the most popular girl in high school, "You may." his eyes looked over to Ruby who had daggers for eyes at him, quickly causing his blush to disappear, "Thank you." his tone more serious this time.
"She's ready!" Henry ran out screaming, excited for everyone to see his mom.
Heads turned towards the hallway as Emma stepped out, looking and feeling like a million bucks. The shirt and vest, along with the pants took in the blonde's form. Golden curls hanging over her shoulders. She had worn nice clothes before, but never anything this nice.
"Wow." was all Ruby could say, her mouth hanging open from how good Emma looked.
"Come on, Henry. Let's wait downstairs for them." said Graham as he held on to the boy's hand and began walking out the door along with Ruby, leaving the two women alone.
Regina's eyes turned dark as she walked up to the blonde, drinking in her beauty.
"I know that look." said Emma, her green eyes taking in every part of Regina in her dress.
"I was right to have those made for you. You look stunning." replied Regina.
Emma's hands were quick to place themselves on Regina's waist as Regina's fingers gently caressed the hem of the vest on Emma.
"You look amazing. You didn't have to get me clothes, you know." said Emma.
"I wanted to, you are doing a lot being my companion for this wedding." replied Regina.
"I'd thank you properly, but everyone is waiting downstairs." Emma smirked, which made Regina's smirk grow even more as she seductively walked away, looking over her shoulder, winking at the blonde who was still in awe at the breathtaking sight before her. Like a magnet, the blonde was quick to follow her out the door, shutting it in place behind her.
Ruby held her phone out, directly pointing towards Emma and Regina that were coming down the steps and on to the pavement, "A quick picture, you two!" both women were quick to pose for a picture, Emma's hand resting upon the small of Regina's back as the brunette stood elegantly beside the blonde, the click to the camera on Ruby's phone soon sounding.
"I swear, if you were a couple- you two would be hotter than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt." said Ruby.
Everyone waited in their seats at church. August and Kathryn were soon to join Emma, Ruby, and Graham along with Henry in the same row, while Regina sat up front with her mother at her side as family were to be up in the front row. As if it wasn't hard enough for Regina already to witness this day, she had to have front row view of the biggest mistake her sister would be making in marrying Robin. Her jaw tightened as her eyes looked over at the man standing by the altar. She relaxed as she felt her mother's hand lay on top of her own.
"I'm glad you came, Regina. Your father would be happy you pushed aside your hatred for that man and are here for your sister." whispered Cora, leaning in closer to her daughter.
"I'm seconds away from walking out of here, actually." Regina replied, her eyes never leaving Robin, who's eyes looked back into hers in that moment.
"What would your date say, dear? I don't think she would like to know that you are still hurting over Robin."
Regina's eyes looked over at her mother, surprised at her words as Cora spoke again, "Your sister told me about your girlfriend."
The brunette rolled her eyes. Of course Zelena would gossip to her mother about who Regina was seeing. Cora was not opposed to Regina seeing a woman, she never even liked Robin to begin with.
"I'm no longer in love with Robin. He made sure that love died." Regina whispered.
"Do you love this girl?" asked Cora.
Regina didn't have time to answer as the ceremony then began. Her heart sank at the question though, hoping her mother would not ask that question again. Emma would be easy to fall for, that's for sure. In fact there were times where Regina could feel herself getting used to having the blonde form a part of her life and that alone scared her.
Zelena began walking down the aisle, smiling as she looked into the eyes of the man who would now become her husband.
Regina's jaw tightened as she saw both her ex husband and sister at the altar now, smiling at each other with love in their eyes. Her attention once again faded away from them as she felt her phone vibrate inside her purse, quickly taking it out to glance at the text message she had just received.
You look more beautiful when you smile.
Regina looked over her shoulder as the priest began to speak, a smile creeping up on the brunette as Emma's eyes were staring directly at her. She looked back at her phone as she quickly replied.
Pay attention, Ms. Swan.
Regina's smile widened, as it didn't take long for Emma to make her feel better, even by a simple text message. It didn't take long for a reply to back her way as she glanced down at her phone one last time, reading the blonde's reply.
Oh, I am. My attention is always on you.
Cora looked over to her daughter's smile. A smile that throughout the entire ceremony, never left her.
The church where they had married was big, but the banquet was even bigger. They went all out on food and drinks. It was endless. Soft melodies played as everyone sat at their tables, Emma and Henry, joining Regina and her mother at one, while Graham, Ruby, August and Kathryn sat by the one next to them. White with champagne was the theme. Everything to the very last little detail turned out better than both Zelena and Robin could have planned.
"Aren't you going to introduce us, dear?" asked Cora, as she glanced over at Emma.
"This is Emma Swan. She's my date for this evening. Emma this is my mother, Cora Mills." the brunette quickly took a sip of her champagne. That being her second glass already, it hadn't dawned on her that she had referred to the blonde as her date.
"Pleasure, Emma. I'm happy to finally meet someone decent in my daughter's life."
Emma extended her hand, shaking Cora's hand as she smiled, "I don't like him very much either, Mrs. Mills. I'm just here for Regina."
Cora's smirk grew, growing quickly fond of Emma, "She catches on quick, Regina. Her, I like."
Regina shook her head as a smile appeared on her lips, she quickly looked over at Henry, "Mother, meet Henry. Emma's son."
"Nice to meet you." said Henry as he shook the woman's hand.
The murmurs of everyone in the banquet fell silent as the main doors to the hall opened, eyes following each bridesmaid and groomsmen as they stepped inside, all smiles. Robin and Zelena walked in right behind them, arms linked together. It was when Robin and Zelena were nearing the table where Regina sat that she tensed up again. He was going to hurt her, she just knew it. She hoped to God she was wrong, because she did want her sister to be happy. The brunette's eyes fell on her hand as she felt Emma grab a hold of it from underneath the table. It didn't take Regina long to link her fingers with Emma's as her body soon relaxed. Even Robin took notice in their hand holding, as much as he was smiling, he couldn't help to feel bothered by how quickly Regina's tension vanished with Emma there.
Eyes followed the bride and groom to the middle of the dance floor as they shared their first dance as man and wife. The song I Honestly Love You filling the room as it played out of the giant speakers.
How ironic, Emma thought, considering Robin was probably already cheating on his bride, if not he would soon. Of that she was sure. She leaned into Regina as she whispered into her ear, "As much as this is supposed to be their night, I vote for you stealing it with rockin' that dress."
Regina smiled, chills being sent down her spine at the feel of the blonde's breath ghosting over her ear, "You're supposed to be the hottest one here tonight, remember?" she replied.
"Next to you, that's impossible. Your doing that dress a favor just by wearing it." replied Emma, winking over the brunette's direction, winning another smile from her. Emma was always a charmer and a flirt, but tonight she was being way more. Exactly why, Regina wasn't sure but she wasn't about to complain about it.
Everyone clapped as their dance ended. Robin and Zelena took their seat at the head table on the other side of the banquet hall. Dinner was served soon after as soft music played in the background again by the DJ. Afterwards, the DJ was set to play music for an hour or two before Emma and August would step up to play on stage for everyone. That was how Zelena had arranged it.
The DJ started with On The Floor, and slowly the dance floor began to fill up as the lights were moving and changing colors around them. August and Kathryn were quick to stand and head to the dance floor.
Emma then stood and looked at Regina, "Come on." Regina gave the blonde a questioning look, making the blonde smile, "Henry, should we show Gina how to dance this?"
"Yeah!" the boy was quick to stand up and run towards the brunette, taking a hold of her hand, "Come on, Gina, please!" he pleaded.
"That's a low blow." Regina glared at the blonde.
"Now you have to dance." Emma shrugged.
Regina sighed as she took her glass of champagne, finishing what was left in one swift motion before standing up, taking Emma's hand as it was offered to her while they walked to the middle of the dance floor. Henry was quick to start dancing his way around the both of them, while Emma kept her hold to Regina's hand as her hips quickly began moving to the rhythm of the music, causing the brunette's eyes to gawk at her sexy movements. Emma was so inviting, it didn't take her long to start moving along to the music and the blonde's body all in one. Soon, Kathryn and August found themselves joining them in their little circle as they all danced together until the song's end.
By the time they sat back down, Regina was all smiles again, taking a drink of another glass of champagne that had already been set down for her by a waiter.
A few songs in, Emma turned to Cora, "Do you dance?" she asked her.
Cora released a chuckle that wasn't heard over the loud music, "I've seen your dancing, dear. I'd be lucky to even keep up with you." she joked.
A light laugh escaped Emma, as Henry stood up, taking Cora's hand as he pulled her up off her chair, "Come on, it's easy."
Cora wasn't given much of a choice as she made her way to the dance floor with Henry, following the boy's steps in a failed attempt. She got better once the song changed and turned into a slow one that she could dance to, and boy was she grateful for that.
Emma couldn't help to smile at her son dancing. She was happy that she was able to make him a part of this fun night with her and Regina. Especially when Henry loved to dance.
"Emma." Regina called out through the loud music, continuing as the blonde looked over at her direction, "Would you mind stepping outside with me for a moment?"
Emma looked at her questioningly, but stood up with Regina as they headed outside, the music sounding muffled but still loud as the doors closed.
"What's up?" asked Emma.
"I have a gift for you." the brunette replied.
Emma's brows hit her hairline in surprise, "Another one? Regina, you've already given me enough with these clothes-"
"Just hold out your hand. Please."
Emma did as she was told, looking down as she felt something cold and metallic being placed on her palm. Emma's eyes grew wide, "My God, Regina, please don't tell me you bought me a car."
Regina chuckled, "No."
Emma sighed with relief, because a car would have been too much.
"It's to your new bar."
"Say what?"
"That place you always dreamed of owning. I paid a visit to Benjamin Miller and was able to buy it off from him, well his father, actually. Turns out it was for sale after all, so I bought it from him and had him add your name as the manager of the establishment."
Emma had a shocked look to her that couldn't be explained, her eyes looked back down at the key she was still holding in her hand as they looked back at the beautiful brunette standing before her, "You…? Regina, how much did this cost?"
"Don't worry about that."
"No, Regina- this is way too much. I can't accept this." Emma handed back the key, only to have Regina push her hand back.
"It's already done, Emma. It's official. The contract is sitting inside my luggage in Kathryn's apartment, all it needs is your signature."
Emma sighed, "Regina…"
"Please, accept it. I want this for you."
Emma's eyes watered, she never imagined she would ever actually own that place, but it wouldn't stop her from trying. Now, Regina who had become a great friend to her over the time period they've known each other just gave her that chance for nothing but their continued friendship.
"Why would you do this for me?" the blonde asked, looking right into Regina's eyes.
"I looked into your eyes that night at my apartment, Emma, I knew how much you wanted that place. You had your hopes set high for a better future for you and Henry only for some creep to play with those emotions. I wasn't about to allow that. My company, the company that my father built consists in making people's visions become a reality." she held the blonde's hands into her own, their eyes locked within each other, "You have given me so much in the time we've known each other. Now it's my turn to give something back to you."
Emma never imagined hearing someone say she gave them too much. Let alone, Regina Mills who already seemed to have everything. She wasn't sure if it was because they had been drinking, and maybe the champagne was already getting to them, but she felt so many things move inside her as she looked into the brunette's eyes, those eyes she now felt she absolutely love. Just like she would love anytime she was challenged by this woman in any way.
She knew this was a battle she would not win, so she nodded, "I'll find a way to pay you back. I want to."
Regina smirked, "If it makes you feel any better, I am head owner of that establishment so, technically I'm your boss."
Emma raised a brow, a smirk forming on her lips, "So, I've been screwing my boss? That's not very professional of you, Ms. Mills."
"I can be very professional, I assure you." Regina purred as she closed the distance between her and Emma, pressing her lips together with those familiar thin ones she had missed getting to kiss.
Emma couldn't help but smile into the kiss as her arms quickly wrapped around the brunette, their kiss soon deepening. She had missed getting to kiss those lips as well. In fact, this was the first time since they've been together in this arrangement that their kiss felt like a little something more.
Another song was heard as it started to play, gathering from the beat, Emma could tell it was a spanish song, it was then the blonde parted from their kiss as she held Regina's hand into her own, "Come on, I love this song."
Regina stopped in her tracks causing the blonde to look over at her, "You know how to dance this?" she asked, her eyebrow raised.
Emma smirked, "There's only one way for you to find out." she pulled Regina back inside, already dancing her way into the dance floor. The brunette's eyes focused on how smoothly the blonde's hips moved to the song Danza Kuduro. Regina couldn't help to smile as she felt how quickly Emma pulled her into her own body, feeling her arm snake around her lower back.
Emma made everything much better for her, the feeling the blonde gave her when she pulled her into her arms was unexplainable. She just wanted to stay in them- in this moment. As Emma moved back, still holding on to Regina's hands, the blonde's eyes looked over the brunette's own body as she too began moving smoothly to the music. This was even new for Regina. She danced a lot as a teen, when she was most happy and her father was alive, but that all stopped when he had passed. And, now there she was again. Dancing. Feeling as free as she could feel, all thanks to this woman who had randomly come into her life that early morning on a flight to New York.
She kept her rhythm up to Emma's so well, which surprised Regina that Emma would even know how to dance this type of music as well as she did. The blonde spinned her around as she then pulled her back in, making the brunette's back be in front of her as she wrapped her arms around Regina's stomach, dancing now incredibly close for a short moment as they parted again, finishing off their dance with both laughing and sharing a long given hug in the process as they exchanged a few peppered given kisses. Both being in their own happy bubble in that moment.
Kathryn and Ruby were standing near by as they watched their two best friends.
"Emma is so into her, I don't know why she fights it." said Ruby, holding a glass of champagne in her hand.
"Regina is more or just as stubborn about it as Emma is, but I know she's already feeling something for Emma. Just look at them together. It's inevitable." replied Kathryn, both their eyes still focused on the two women who were now sitting back down at their table.
"That's exactly what I think. It is inevitable." Ruby looked over at Kathryn with a smile.
Kathryn extended her hand in greeting, "Kathryn Midas. Regina's best friend."
"Ruby Lucas. Emma's best friend." Ruby shook her hand as they both exchanged smiles, knowing too well that in that moment they would both become good fast friends.
Emma and August walked up to the stage, grabbing their guitars as they took a seat on the stools that were placed there for them. After two hours of music played by the DJ it was their turn to entertain everyone in the banquet with nothing but beautiful melodies coming from their guitars. And, they did deliver beautiful music. Everyone sat in their seats as they listened with full attention. It was all the same to Robin watching Emma play really, but Zelena was happy and that's all that mattered to him. At least in that moment. As August and Emma played a beautiful collaboration of Shape of You, along with many other collaborations. They truly knew how to make it sound magical. Regina's eyes were so focused on all that was Emma Swan, her clothes fitting to absolute perfection, the way her hair shined as lights shined upon her, the way her fingers would smoothly move as she played each note on that instrument. But, what she, dare she say it, loved most was the focus and passion that displayed on Emma's facial features while she played.
Cora's eyes were focused on her daughter, the way she watched Emma, the smile forming on her lips as she would watch the woman play up on that stage. She could even swear that the brunette's eyes were positively glowing. Cora wasn't the only one noticing this, Robin was too, even as he sat across the room from her.
Everyone clapped as they were completely done with their playing, Henry quickly ran up to Emma, whispering into her ear as the blonde leaned down to be at his level, quickly standing back up and taking her seat back on the stool where she had been playing, her guitar still in hand, she leaned into the microphone that was placed before her so that her playing would sound louder throughout the speakers.
"It seems we have a request for the night." she spoke into the microphone as she smiled, "My son Henry has asked me to play a little something for him by a band he has come to like, thanks to me. Are you ready?" she asked Henry as the boy nodded, watching his mother with fascination.
Emma's fingers quickly began to play Heavydirtysoul by Twenty One Pilots, allowing the guitar to sing it as the sound echoed around the hall. Slim fingers moving fast and rhythmically on the instrument, as her tumb tapped on the lower string while her wrist began banging against the wooden body of her acoustic, creating a beautiful hollow sound like those that knew her had heard her play before. Despite the fact that it wasn't exactly a song to be played at a wedding, everyone was truly enjoying how Emma was making it sound. She would always play with such passion when it came to it, but when she was asked to play for her son- she gave it a hundred and ten percent.
By the time she was finished, the DJ was back on playing for everyone else to dance, and they did. The DJ had stopped Emma from leaving as he wanted to know more about her playing. He had her so into their conversation, and Zelena was far too busy dancing along with friends on the dance floor that Robin couldn't miss out on this opportunity. He walked up to the bar area of the banquet and ordered two drinks, he walked through the crowd and over to Regina who was sitting at her table.
Regina's body went stiff, not of fear but anger. She expected for him to come up to her sooner or later, but she still had hoped he wouldn't. Her eyes were focused on his every move as he stood before her, handing her over a martini.
"Apple martini. It is still your favorite, isn't it?" he asked, drink still in hand.
"Shouldn't you be with your bride?" asked Regina, not taking the drink from him.
Robin looked over at Zelena who was still dancing, now with Henry, "You're right." he turned to look back at Regina, "But, she's so happy dancing right now, I wouldn't want to disturb her."
"Then, maybe you should be out there dancing."
"You're absolutely right." he outstretched his hand before Regina, "Can you at least accept a dance?"
"What do you want, Robin?" she began feeling a little irritated by his persistence.
"Just a dance. Think of it as a peace offering."
Regina chuckled, which wasn't heard through the loud music, "A peace offering? You do know I'm here with Emma."
Now it was Robin's turn to chuckle, "If you ask me she seems far too busy making a new friend. I'm sure she won't mind if we have one dance."
Regina hesitated, but ended up taking the man's hand as he placed their drinks down on the table, both heading towards the dance floor as a slow song (of all songs) began to play. Regina's body tensed as she felt Robin grab a hold of her waist and pull her to him, taking the lead.
"I haven't had a chance to tell you, you look beautiful in that dress." said Robin, as Regina remained silent, her eyes looking over at Emma who was still deep in conversation. Her jaw tightened.
Robin looked over at Emma, a small smirk on his lips as he looked over at Regina, "You must really like her if you're getting this jealous over her." he continued as Regina only threw a glare his way, "You know, you surprise me."
"How so?" asked Regina.
"Well, I never imagined you would actually fall in love again. Especially not with someone like her." Robin said directly.
"Someone like her?"
"A musician. Really? What, are you trying to relive your youth?" he joked, a light laugh escaping him as he earned another hard glare from the brunette, "Does she know about-?"
"Emma is a very private person, and I respect that. Same way she respects my privacy. She doesn't push to know everything about me, and she fully appreciates and takes in all I do choose to tell her."
"So, she doesn't know." he nodded.
Regina's jaw tightened, she hated when Robin thought he knew everything. But, she also hated when he was right.
"I can't imagine what she would think of you if she knew that-"
"That was the past, Robin. If anyone should be holding a grudge here- it's me." her eyes darkened in that moment, "You killed the only thing that would have made me truly happy."
"Stop pretending, Regina. If anyone is to blame for what happened, it's you." Robin's tone was cold. The situation alone became too tense that they had stopped dancing without realizing it.
Regina pulled herself away from his grasp, ready to explode, but she didn't want to cause a scene on a very important day for her sister so she turned to walk away, running into another person as she felt two familiar comforting arms wrap around her frame, her eyes locking into familiar green eyes.
"Are you alright?" asked Emma as she looked into the brunette's eyes, noticing her anger and teary eyes.
"Where the hell were you?" asked Regina, her tone sharp and angry.
Emma's brows furrowed, "Talking. Wha-"
"Let's get a drink." Regina took the blonde by the hand, walking her up to the bar as she asked for two glasses of champagne.
"Regina." Emma shouted through the loud music, "What's wrong? Did he say something to you?"
Regina chuckled after taking a drink from her glass, "You would know, had you not been busy talking with others. You're my date for this evening, are you not?"
"Well, yeah, of course." replied Emma, she was completely surprised to see her this upset. The vein in her forehead was ready to pop. She knew Robin had said something.
"Then, you're supposed to be with me. Not with other people."
Emma smirked then, causing Regina to shoot daggers out of her eyes in fury over at the blonde, "Are you smiling?" she asked Emma, walking away from her already feeling annoyed enough.
"Regina." Emma called out, following the brunette as she kept on walking until she reached the bathroom, she reached for her arm preventing her from walking any further, "Regina, I am with you. I've been with you, okay? Besides, I thought you didn't get jealous."
Regina scoffed, "I'm not jealous, I just didn't like it."
It was true, she didn't. In fact, she was a little jealous. Her and Emma only had an arrangement, but she sure as hell didn't want someone else coming along and having sex with her or coming on to her when that was supposed to be Regina's job. That's it, it was the lack of sex. Not jealousy.
"Well, at least I didn't dance with him, which is more than I can say for you." Emma challenged, "As your date, I feel a little offended. You owe me a slow dance now."
Regina couldn't help to let out a light laugh, she knew Emma was challenging her like they had done before, plus, she couldn't possibly stay mad at her looking as good as she did. No, this wasn't the time for that, they were here to have a good time, no matter what. The brunette suddenly stepped forward towards the blonde, closing the distance between them as if the small hallway they were standing in had shrunk even more. She leaned her forehead against Emma's slowly, to which both women couldn't help but close their eyes as each other's intoxicating perfumes hit their nostrils.
"I'm sorry." Regina whispered, which Emma heard this time, since the music wasn't loud enough for her to shout it, but the vibrations off the speakers was felt through the walls as Emma leaned up against it.
"Well, what's a wedding without a little drama?" Emma smiled, "You still owe me a slow dance."
Regina chuckled, "You still owe me a proper thank you." she smirked now, daring Emma to act on what she knew she also wanted.
"This could be a little risky this time." replied Emma with a smirk of her own, because yes, of course she wanted her too.
"When has that ever stopped you?" Regina's lips ghosted seductively over Emma's, causing the blonde to take her by the hand as she quickly leaded her into the restroom that was right behind them, hoping and praying to all the Gods up above that no one would dare to come in, even if they planned it to be a quick but much needed round.
Their lips crashed on to one another in a hard kiss as the closed behind them. Emma's arms quickly snaking around Regina as she walked backwards into a stall, pulling the brunette in with her as Regina closed the door, making sure it was well locked. Regina bit down on her bottom lip as she felt Emma grab a hold of her again from behind, as her hand was already pulling up her long skirt, slowly feeling how the blonde's skin and the silk material of her wardrobe caressed her thigh. She couldn't help to release a soft moan as Emma's hand got lost in between her skirt and soon found its way into her panties which were already soaked enough and only becoming even wetter with each stroke Emma's fingers took upon her clit.
"Shh." Emma whispered as she leaned in closer up the brunette's back, her sex pressing up against a perfectly rounded ass as her fingers thrusted harder and harder against the older woman's clit. She couldn't help but smirk at the feel of Regina's wetness coating her fingers. Apart from being inside her, this was one of the best feelings she would share with her.
Emma couldn't help but release a sigh as she felt chills run down all the way from her stomach towards her own sex as it was just as wet as Regina's was. She buried her face deeper into the brunette's hair, sharply inhaling her scent, "Let me feel you finish."
The blonde's voice sent chills down Regina's spine, the way her arm tightened around her while her other hand worked roughly on her hardened clit now. She was ready. She couldn't moan, but her breathing was rapid. She held on to the top of the door as Emma leaned more onto her, her fingers going in rough circular motions now, feeling as every stroke was ready to set her off at any given moment. And, they did as she came then and there, holding back on her moaning, but her grunts were sure to be heard as Emma all but smirked at the very sounds.
Both froze in place as they heard a group of friends coming into use the rest of the restroom stalls, from what they heard there had to have been at least three outside the stall. One was definitely using the bathroom, while the rest just stood near the sinks and chatted with drunken laughter.
"Oh, my God." Regina whispered as Emma hid her face in the back of Regina's hair as she sighed with relief that they hadn't gotten caught. Both sharing a light laugh as the main door to the bathroom closed.
"I told you it was risky." said Emma, already backing away from Regina as she fixed her hair, laughing as Regina playfully slapped her arm. "Well, I guess you'll owe me my turn for some other time."
Regina quickly wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck, smiling, "I definitely owe you. But, we can still have that dance."
"After you." replied Emma as they both made their way out of the stall, looking into the mirrors as they straightened up their clothes before heading out to join the party again.
A slow song was already playing as if it was meant for them to dance, both their bodies already coming together in a slow dance.
"Thank you." Emma spoke as she looked into Regina's eyes, "For what you did. I will honestly never have a way to repay you. You are truly an amazing woman, Regina."
It was then, Regina's eyes saw Robin as he and her sister shared a dance. She couldn't help to remember Robin's previous words to her, after two years they still stung.
"I may not be as amazing as you think I am." Regina's eyes looked back into Emma's.
"You are to me. No matter what some douchebag pretty boy might have told you, because to me… Regina, you are more than you'll ever come to know."
Their eyes didn't move away from each other. It was then, that Regina noticed something different in Emma's eyes, a look she had never seen before until tonight. A look that made her heart feel like it could jump out of her chest. As she rested her head on the blonde's shoulder, she felt Emma's arms tightened more around her as Emma rested hers on the brunette's shoulder, her eyes closing in at the feel of holding Regina in her arms again after they hadn't for a long while. She had really missed her, and longed to hold her and kiss her again- just looking into her eyes was the oxygen Emma needed to breathe on her own and it scared her. And, seeing her in her dress tonight, was all she needed to have this night be the best one of her life. It wasn't this wedding, or the fact that she was having a good time. It was her.
Regina Mills.
