So sorry for the long wait!
So my computer couldn't get fixed, had to buy a new one. Had to wait for the new one and had to figure out how to get my documents on my new computer.
So proud of myself to figure it all out.
I hope you enjoy the next chapter.
Reviews make my day.
I also want to get to know some people in this fandom. I see how friendships start and kinda feel jealous. So if you want a friend or just want to get to know me and vice versa (I get to know you) please send me a message or look me up on twitter. /Sugarsweet_19
The next couple of weeks were amazing. Well as amazing as keeping your fantastic beautiful girlfriend a secret can be. But Emma didn't mind at all, she was happy with the meaningful glances and the subtle touches. She enjoyed every time she surprised Regina by pulling her into a classroom to kiss her. The brunette would shriek and turn adorably red.
Everything was going fine until a small lie caused a huge problem. For Regina to spend more time with Emma she had lied to her parents and told them she had founded the first bible study group in school and that the group meets every day after school. Emma and Regina used the extra time to go to the lake and just be with each other.
Regina's parents were proud of her but disappointed that the group only had two members. They wanted to show their support for Regina's effort by inviting the other member of the group to dinner.
So that's why Emma found herself standing on the porch of Regina's home nervous as hell and fully prepared. She had borrow one of Regina's bible's and had read it all night long. She had been actually surprised at some of the things that were written in it. There were a lot of things she liked and agreed with but a lot of things that were really out dated. In the end she decided that the bible really needed a upgrade but that it probably wouldn't happen anytime soon.
Emma wiped her sweaty hands on her jeans and knocked on the door. She was going to survive this, she hoped. When the door opened, Emma had wished for Regina to greet her but instead it was an older man. Emma presumed was Regina's father.
"Hello, you must be Emma. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Henry, I'm Regina's father." Henry said extending his hand and shaking Emma's hand.
"Pleasure to meet you sir." Emma says. She extracted her hand again and had to flex it because the old man had a really strong grip.
"Regina's up in her room. Why don't you go up and we will call you when dinner is ready." Emma smiled and quickly made her way up. Instead of knocking Emma slowly opens the door to surprise Regina but found herself surprised more when she saw Regina standing with her back towards her in only jeans and a bra.
Emma felt her mouth go dry when she could see Regina's strong back muscles flex. It wasn't the first time she gotten aroused when she was with Regina but this wasn't the best time right now.
Emma coughed to make her present know to Regina.
Regina turned around startled but smiled when she saw Emma standing. "Emma." She happily rushed towards her. Closing the door and pushing Emma against it to greet her with a kiss.
Saying Emma was shocked was a understatement. She was currently kissing Regina while the brunette was only wearing a bra and Emma found her hands sliding over Regina's naked back.
"mmm Regina." Emma managed to breath out between kisses. "You need to stop."
Regina chuckles and pushes herself of Emma. "Something wrong Emma?" Regina asks with a little tingle in her eyes. She knew what she was doing to Emma because Emma did the same to her. Regina had never feel this weird around another person, Emma was the only one that could make her feel so hot.
"Yeah, you're too fucking sexy like this!" Regina eyes widened and she blushed.
"Thank you but remember you can't curse like that in front of my parents."
"Then stop being so sexy." Regina smirked and put on a shirt to cover up. Emma sat down on the bed and felt the soft sheets. She loved Regina's sheets they were really nice and smelled like flowers.
"So what can I suspect tonight?" Emma asks when Regina joined her and rested her head on the blonde's lap.
"I hope nothing much. They will ask a few questions but I don't think they will cause any problems. We just have to act normal and not like this." Regina says and snuggles further into Emma. She drapes her arms around Emma's waist and pulls her closer. Her nose is buried just above Emma's bellybutton.
The blonde chuckles and let her hands glide through Regina's dark hair. Regina hums, she likes the feeling and wishes Emma could do it all night long. But soon their perfect moment is ruined when Regina's dad calls them down for dinner.
The first thing Emma thinks when she sees Regina's mom is masquerade. The woman is wearing a mask around her. The perfect smile she's displaying doesn't reach her eyes and the tension at the dinner table is too much.
" So Emma who are your parents?" She asks cutting her meat and biting it like it's Emma's skin she's biting into.
"I don't have any parents but I'm currently being fostered by the Jones family." Emma answers. She hopes Cora's doesn't ask to much of those questions.
"You live with Milah and Liam Jones. Milah used to do our housekeeping. Did Regina tell you?"
Emma nods.
"Well isn't that lovely. And how are you doing in school Emma?" Emma drank some of her water.
"I'm doing good. I have good grades and I'm on the cheerleading squad."
Cora and Henry both stop eating when they heard this.
"You're on the cheerleading squad? So you dance around in short skirts for the benefit of the school's spirit." Henry asked looking affronted. He looked briefly at Regina. He would never let his daughter dress up and act like that, not if he could help it.
"Well yeah. I do. Milah thought it was a good idea and I made quick friends through it."
Regina shifted in her seat next to Emma. She could feel the tension grow even more. Her parents didn't approve of young girls wearing too short skirts and dancing around where boys could see them.
"Who are your friends?" Cora asks.
"euh well. Ruby Lucas, Graham and Kathryn Hunter, Mary Margaret Blanchard…." Cora dropped her knife and fork on her plate and Henry put down her glass with a bang.
"We don't talk about the Blanchard family in this house." Henry stated his fist clenching. Cora's jaw was clenching as well.
"I'm sorry I didn't know." Emma could feel Regina's hand on her knee. The tension was probably oozing of her.
"Well now you know." Henry said and put an end to the whole questionnaire. They ate further in silence only the clinking of the cutlery was making noise. Emma didn't like henry and Cora. She didn't like how they acted towards her or Regina. But then she looked over to Regina and found it even more extraordinary that Regina was this kind and sweet person. It made her love her even more.
After dinner Emma and Regina went back to Regina's room and made preparations for bed. Regina's parents had invited Emma to join them for church tomorrow and because it was early they wanted her to stay the night. It would be Regina's first sleep over with her friend slash secret girlfriend.
"So I guess we can share the bed." Regina says grabbing and extra pillow from her closet and putting it down on the right side of the bed.
"Yeah I guess so." Emma says and took of her shirt and pants leaving her in her bra and panties. The sleepover wasn't planned so Emma didn't have any pyjama's with her.
"Do you want something to wear?" Regina asks her eyes locked on Emma's body. She was again starting to feel weird while looking at Emma. The blonde had an beautiful body and she wanted to touch her and feel her skin on her own.
"No, I'm good." Emma says and pulling back the covers to get in. Regina nods and got her own pyjama's out.
"I'll just be an minute." Regina says leaving the room and going into the bathroom. She gave herself a second to listen to the sounds outside. Her parents had gone to bed as well and everything was quiet in the house. She dressed and splashed some water in her face. She needed to get her body heat under control if she is ever going to get some sleep next to Emma.
When she went back to the room, Emma was looking at her and pulled back the covers. Regina slid under the covers and settle down. They looked at each other for a very long time before Regina broke the silence.
"I'm sorry for dinner. It wasn't very pleasant was it."
Emma smiled and took her hand. "I don't mind. It's worth it because I'm now here with you."
Regina smiled at leaned closer to Emma to kiss her. Soon the kiss became more passionate and Regina allowed Emma's tongue to enter her mouth. Her hands started wandering and due to the lack of clothing on Emma's body she could feel her skin.
"Emma…" Regina moaned. "You're making me feel weird." Emma stopped kissing her and frowned.
"I'm sorry, do you want me to stop?" Emma asks concerned.
"No but I think we should. You're making me feel so hot. I don't understand the way I'm feeling." Regina explains.
"You mean I'm making you horny?" Emma asks teasingly and let her finger move over Regina cheek and down to her chest.
"I think you do. I have never felt like this before." Regina says and moves closer to Emma. A shiver runs down her spin when she feels Emma's finger glide just above her breast.
"You make me feel like that too." Emma confesses.
"I want you Emma. I do but I don't think I'm ready get…to…you know have intercourse." Emma chuckles and cups Regina's face. She can't get enough of the adorable way Regina talks about this stuff.
"I love you Regina. And I'm not going to pressure you into having sex when you're not ready. I would never do that." Regina gasps and can feel herself tear up a little. It was the first time Emma told her she loved her.
"I love you to Emma." She kisses Emma again and pulls her closer so she can put her head on Emma's chest. She loves hearing Emma's heartbeat under her and soon they both fell asleep.
The following morning Emma was roughly awoken by Regina pushing her of the bed yet again when she heard her mother at the door. "Emma and Regina are you both awake, were leaving for church in ten minutes." Regina was so startled by her mother that she pushes Emma and the blond fell back on her ass out of the bed.
"Regina! You gotta stop doing that to me." Emma whines rubbing her eyes and looking up at Regina who quickly ran around the bed to help Emma up.
"I'm so sorry Emma. I thought she was going to come in." Emma chuckles and pulls at Regina's hand. The brunette loses her balance and Emma pulls her right on top of her.
"I guess you are going to have to kiss it better." Regina gasped when Emma kissed her but enjoyed it fully after a second. "It's nice waking up like this." Regina breathed out.
"Yeah, I think so too."
"But we don't have a lot of time left. We need to get dressed." Regina pulled away and helped Emma up. They managed to get dressed in less than five minutes while sneaking kisses every once and a while.
Emma and the Mills family arrived at the church a little before seven in the morning. Why too early for Emma's opinion but she would do anything for Regina. They sat at the front of the church. Regina was sitting beside her and her parents were sitting beside Regina. Emma wondered if this was going to be hard to listen to. She had heard some stories about how pastor Gold preaches from Regina but still hearing it for herself wasn't going to be pleasant.
The moment pastor Gold walked in Emma was surprise to see how Cora jumped up. Her usual fake plastic smile was replaced by a genuine smile with a twinkle in her eyes. Emma looked over at Henry who looked at his wife and scowled before directing his eyes on the pastor.
"Dear people of our beautiful community. We have once again shown how great we are. Last weekend Cora Mills organized a great protest in Portland at a local bakery who dared to bake for a gay marriage. They allow and support these unholy activities and life styles but we made them aware of God's wrath. Let's a pray and applaud Cora for yet again showing how to live properly." The whole church clapped and Emma could only stare with wide eyes how Cora turned around and enjoy the attention she had gotten from Gold. Emma looked at the faces of the people and saw how genuine happy they were about what they did. They probably caused a lot of problems for that bakery let alone the couple that wanted to hire them for their wedding. How can they be happy about that.
Emma clenches her fists and watches how Gold let them into prayer. She didn't like what he was saying at all. She wanted to go up there and tell them how wrong they were. How people who love differently are still the same people. People with dreams, hopes and believes just the same like everyone else.
Emma turns her attention to Regina when she felt the brunette's thumb running over the skin of her clenched fist. Regina mouthed a silent 'are you okay'. Emma shook her head and directed her attention back to Gold.
Regina fingers joined her thumb and she was desperately trying to unclench Emma's fist. She could see how angry Emma was feeling and it was all directed towards pastor Gold. She leaned forward and waited for everyone to start praying aloud to whisper in Emma's ear.
"I love you." Emma fist unclenches immediately and takes a hold of Regina's fingers. Emma turns her gaze back to her and Regina smiles when she can see the same love in Emma's eyes as she had just expressed.
Emma really wanted to kiss Regina right now. The girl had with those three words calmed her down. Being there with Regina and listening to those awful words leaving pastor Gold's mouth made her realised how stupid she was for getting angry. Regina had been listening to this stuff for ages and still she was telling Emma, a girl that she loved her. Emma couldn't feel any more prouder of her girlfriend.
