Emma had managed to drop Henry off with only a small altercation with Mary Margaret. She was completely exhausted from the whole ordeal. She ordered MM not to call or text unless it was an emergency regarding Henry. She had also called Ruby to let her know that she was forwarding all the calls from the Sheriff's station to her phone. She wanted a day to just be lazy and spend the day with Regina uninterrupted. She was excited and maybe she could make up for the night when she made a complete fool of herself by falling over the coffee table. She had always been drawn to Regina but something had shifted in their complicated relationship the past month. She knew Regina could feel it too, but knew Regina would never admit it. She decided on the way home she needed to come up with a plan to slowly woo the woman.
"Regina! Are you ready for some Rizzles?!" Emma yelled as she entered the house with her hands full. She stopped at the convenience store and got some popcorn and some other treats for their Rizzoli and Isles marathon. She had gotten most of the junk food for herself but made sure to get an extra large bag of peanut butter M&M's, which she knew were Regina's favorite.
Regina came out of the study and Emma noticed she had changed clothes. At breakfast Regina was wearing one of her usual power suits even though it was a Saturday. She was now sporting an old tank top and just a pair of short cut-off jean shorts. Just when I think she can't get sexier she goes and wears that! Holy…
"What are you staring at now Miss Swan?" Regina asked pulling Emma from her naughty thoughts but she recovered quickly.
"I just have never seen you wear anything so…" Emma stopped trying to think of the right word motioning at Regina's attire. Regina perked an eyebrow waiting for a response.
"So what Miss Swan?"
"Comfortable." Sexy was what Emma was really thinking but decided not to tell Regina that.
"Well, I thought if I'm just going to be in my own home watching TV all day I may as well be comfortable."
"Right, I guess I'm just used to seeing you in a power suit or a pencil skirt."
"Should I go change? Would that…"
"No! I mean you should be comfortable and relaxed. Like I said, you just look different. I bought some goodies." Emma said trying to get past the topic of Regina's clothing and into the kitchen setting down the junk food that was in her hands.
"I don't think we need all of this junk food in the house Miss Swan. Henry already has a horrible sweet tooth, he doesn't need to find all of this." Regina followed Emma into the kitchen.
"Oh don't worry, it will be gone before he gets back."
"Certainly you're not planning to eat all of this in one afternoon?"
"Regina it's only a couple bags of popcorn and a few candy bars. Besides I'm not going to be the only one eating this, you're going to help me."
"You should know that I don't eat any of that garbage."
"Really? So this extra large bag of peanut butter M&M's will just sit here all weekend?" Emma held up the bag and waved it in front of Regina's face. Regina eyed the bag, then eyed Emma, then eyed the waving bag again. She huffed then finally swiped the bag from Emma's grasp.
"Not a word." She said as she walked towards the living room. Emma just smiled triumphantly and followed her grabbing her own kit-kat and taking it with her.
They sat down on the couch and Emma took control of the remotes to start where they left off last time. They made their way through a few episodes watching silently with the exception of comments made at the TV. They were now at the episode where a woman was killed outside a lesbian bar and Jane and Maura were going undercover. Maura was going undercover as a waitress at the bar, where Jane was going to be the stud and get to go on dates with a bunch of woman. (Which is what the show should be all about.) This was one of Emma's favorite episodes.
"Oh my god." Regina said.
"What?"
"Jane is blatantly staring at Maura's boobs. And Maura is shoving them right in her face! How are they not together? This isn't even subtext."
"I know right." Emma smiled because this was the exact same thing that she thought when she saw it.
"I mean this is Maura saying 'Jane here, would you finally do something with this fabulous set of breasts that I have in front of you'. And then Jane is sitting there staring at them thinking 'I wish I could motorboat those things'." Emma choked. She was utterly shocked. She had never heard Regina talk like that before.
"My, my Madam Mayor, I never thought you would know what motor-boating was, let alone hear you talk about it. I like this side of you."
"I've had 28 years to figure out some of the expressions used in this world."
"Says the woman who didn't know what Netflix was." Emma teased and was rewarded with a pillow in the face.
"Hey!" Emma pushed pause and then lunged at the other woman across the couch. But Regina was quick in realizing what was happening, she jumped up as Emma made her move. She quickly turned Emma over onto her back, straddled her, and pinned Emma's arms above her head before she knew what was happening.
"Damn you're faster than I thought." Emma said struggling to break free.
"Oh, Miss Swan, you do always seem to underestimate me. Now I have you, what to do with you?" Regina said in a voice that Emma thought was so seductive it was causing her to have a hard time finding words. That and the fact that Regina was actually straddling her was about all she could focus on. You can do whatever you want at this point. Fuck! Why do you have to be so goddamn sexy? Emma thought but she needed to clear her head and not do something totally stupid and ruin this fun that they were both clearly having.
"Cat got your tongue Miss Swan?"
"Just thinking of all the ways I'm going to get you back when I get free." Regina laughed at the comment which reminded Emma of the Evil Queen that used to be.
"Really, because you should be thinking about all the terrible things I could do to you. I am the Evil Queen after all." Regina slightly sat up in a regal position after reminding Emma who she was. She freed one of her hands leaving both of Emma's wrists beneath one arm. Emma could easily get out at this point but remained still just the same. With the now free hand Regina began to use a finger slowly tickling down Emma's arm. She moved into Emma's armpit and Emma jerked but held back the giggle that was threatening to come out.
"Ticklish, Miss Swan?" Regina asked and made her way to Emma's ribs. When Emma's breath hitched Regina smirked, "I see that you are." Regina released Emma's wrists and both hands went to Emma's ribs and stomach tickling her. Emma started laughing unceremoniously, she tried to knock Regina off of her but the small brunette was surprisingly strong.
"Ok Regina… stop, please!" Emma managed in between giggles. "I'll do anything!" Regina stopped her attack for a moment.
"Anything?"
"Yes, please just stop tickling?" Emma panted she could finally breath for a moment. Regina remained straddling her but sat to an upright position.
"Hmm, what…" All of a sudden Emma rose up and flipped Regina over on to her back pinning her hands like Regina had done a few minutes earlier. Instead of straddling her Regina had her legs wrapped around Emma's waist.
"You should have known I wasn't going to let you top me for long." Emma smiled triumphantly, though in her mind she was reeling at the position they were currently in. Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. Don't do anything stupid.
"Emma!" Regina squealed out but was having as hard of time as Emma was because of their position. Christ, we have to stop this before it gets out of hand. Nothing can happen, nothing can happen! God this feels so good.
Regina tried to struggle against Emma which made her slip even farther between her legs. Regina gasped and connected eyes with Emma. Emma realized that she was indeed about to do something stupid when she saw Regina's eyes go dark. Even though she thought that both of them wanted the same thing, she didn't think that Regina was ready. She leaned down slightly before realizing what she was doing. She suddenly stopped and stood up.
"Ready for some popcorn?" She asked but didn't wait for an answer and walked towards the kitchen.
