L'Amour de Paris; The Regina Mills Story
Chapter Twenty-one
Regina ends up putting some cover up on the finger marks on the side of her cheek, she couldn't cover the lip so she knows she has to come up with something to say if Belle questions it, as she walks down the stairs she fixes her wet hair a little and her lazy shirt covering her grey yoga pants, she opens the
door and Belle is standing there waiting in a cute yellow cocktail dress like she always wears as she holds her hands behind her back she asks politely;
"May I come in?...", you can tell the nerves in her words and Regina quickly responds with a dead stare;
"What are you doing here, haven't you done enough?..", Regina is holding the door semi open while Belle looks away a little out of the embarrassment she responds;
"Actually...that's why I'm here, I wanted to explain the picture and all of this misunderstanding...",
Belle is waiting for her to give her a chance but Regina doesn't seem to convinced, she seems to be debating the decision while Belle continues to speak;
"Emma has been devastated, after she left here she's been crying, last night she had a breakdown and for me to see a person as strong as Emma to break down like that means she cares a lot for you, I'm worried about her and that's why I'm here..", she points out with her english accent and Regina grows a little annoyed and says;
"Well she made that choice, and who the hell do you think you are by describing how strong Emma
Swan is?, you have only known her for a couple of weeks, I've know her for years and look what she did to me...?", Regina is growing aggravated and Belle quickly interrupts and says;
"She didn't do anything it was all my fault, I kissed her she pushed me away immediately, i was drunk and I regret ever doing so I almost lost her as a friend and i don't even like girls... I now have a boyfriend who I love so please just give me some time to explain...", Belle insisted, and Regina opens the door as a signal of invitation while saying;
"You got three minutes..."
Belle walks in and sits on the couch where Regina had literally almost got fucked over by Mal, but that doesn't come into mind, she stands in front of the woman with her arms crossed on her torso waiting for the explanation, Belle continues;
"As I was saying...it was a college party we just had a little too much to drink but she never disrespected you, in fact all she did was talk about you all the time, at first you can tell she tried to control herself for
some reason, and now we know it was because she was talking about you in that moment when things were secret, Regina she really loves you, and I really think you will regret it if you don't get her to
comeback, what Mal is trying to do is just sabotaging what you built for years, she just wanted Emma out of the way...", Belle tries to find a reaction but Regina just turns to a look of regret, she looks at herself analyzing every single word, Belle was right, Mal got what she wanted and now, she screwed up with Emma, again!. Regina licks her lips and tries to hold up her tears while saying;
"Where is she?", Regina sides smiles at the woman and Belle reciprocates with one as well while responding;
"She's at home, come on...you can follow me..", Belle stands up and Regina looks for her keys and coat, Belle had noticed the lip the second she saw her but was afraid to address it at first, she frowns a little as she observes it again and find the courage to ask;
"Regina may I ask what happened to you lip?", Belle waits for her to turn and Regina breathes in finding an explanation, she faces the woman and says;
"Ahh umm.. a can of beans fell from the kitchen cabinet and hit me...", Regina couldn't find a better explanation, Belle looks confused and simply responds with 'ok' as they walked out of the house.
...
The pair arrived at Belle's house, she comes in while Belle is placing both coats in the closet she says;
"I'll take you to the bedroom she's staying, Dad is out for the week for some family business so it has been just us...", Belle walks as Regina follows down the hallway out of the two floor house, classic looking. Belle stands in front of the door as Emma was turned away laying on the bed, the weekend that was supposed 'to get her ready for finals' went down the hill, Belle interrupts the silence and says;
"Emma...there's someone here looking for you...", Belle waits for her to turn and Emma does so, she sees Regina standing in the border of the door and immediately stands up, her eyes are baggy from all the crying, her hair was messy and she was still wearing the clothes she had yesterday evening only the green buttoned up shirt was wrinkled and there was no bun but loose locks, Regina's eyes water, torn on how Emma looks broken, again and maybe by her miss judgement and for her not listening in the first place, jealousy always got the best of her, she speaks out;
"Let's go home...", Regina opens her arms and Emma rushes to fall in them, she showers her with kisses feeling relieved while saying;
"I'm sorry I didn't say something…I'm sorry I wasn't completely honest with you at first...", Emma wanted to continue but Regina breaks the hug to face her and says;
"No Emma, I'm sorry...I should have given you a chance to explain, I was just so...caught by surprise and
Mal always knows how to twist things and...Well I should have known better...", Regina side smiles and the cut was there, making Emma narrow her eyes at it and questions;
"Gina what happened to you lip?...", the blonde was about to touch it but Regina moves away and with a little twitch on her mouth out of the rattled nerves she says;
"um...a can...it fell and hit me..", Regina looks away and Emma tries to find sight of her eyes again walking towards her slowly by again asking;
"A can?...how did that happen?..", Emma was trying to find logic to the unlogic explanation but Regina avoided it by saying;
"I'll explain later...we got to get going, I'll put your bags in the car...", Regina moves away to do what she just said and Emma approaches her friend showing gratitude she hugs the woman while saying;
"Thank you for talking to her...really, she means everything to me and I just can't manage to live my life without her again..", Belle smiles at her words and Regina comes back in to say good bye, she thanks Belle and grabs Emma by the hand to walk out of the house.
...
Regina struggles opening the door having Emma's tongue down her throat, she really wanted to make up for last night with no second thought of anything happening between Regina and Mal of course, and
Regina is feeling guilty, trying to figure out how to break it to Emma because well, she is tired of the secrets, the lying, and the tears. Regina breaks the kiss to close the door breathlessly she says;
"Emma…there's something we have to talk about...", Regina looks incredibly worried taking her coat off without losing sight of the blonde as she does the same. Emma to grow concerned and says;
"Uh Oh...that doesn't sound good...", Emma waits for her response and Regina presses her lips and walks towards the living room while saying
"It's because it isn't...", Regina swallows deep, trying to get her words together, Emma slowly walks and stands in front of the woman waiting for her to speak, Regina looks down and up to face the woman and begins;
"Mal stayed...after you left, we begin to drink and I was devastated at the fact that you would have done such a thing..she was the only person I had for comforting and...I took it..", Regina hugs her torso with her arms as always, while Emma just stands breathing heavily not knowing what to expect although, she again, has an Idea of what is coming but let's the brunette speak before she loses it,
Regina continues;
"We I mean..she started to touch me and I fought it but...not hard enough...,it just happened..",
Regina's stomach was already in knots, Emma sat on the end of the couch as she laced her fingers and nodded, trying to hold back her anger, she doesn't look at the woman while asking;
"So she got away with what she wanted...", Emma was growing more upset, words don't cover the anger she was feeling as she presses her hands together Regina was left without words, she only manages to say;
"Emma I'm sorry..", Regina's eyes look hopeful, Emma would calm down and just let it go, but it was too much to ask, Emma stands up and questions as her tone fires up with her bloody eyes facing the brunette;
"So where did she do you huh!?...was it here...? On the couch!", Emma flips the couch at the last words making Regina jump a little out of her bones, she was frozen with no words to say or would come out, resting on the wall while Emma continues to shout;
"Did you take her to our bed...or you just did it everywhere in this FUCKING place!..", Emma is agitated and Regina's chest is beating fast, she doesn't want that panic attack to start again, the least she wants to do is Emma feeling manipulated by her condition, so she just listens, Emma continues;
"You couldn't keep your hands to yourself, or better yet she couldn't because you just can't say no to her can you?", Emma walked closer and Regina's eyes slowly water she tries to interrupt saying under her teeth;
"that's not true I..told her enough..", Regina was feeling terrible as Emma was breathing down her throat and saying;
"So you're saying she forced you?...",Emma asked curiously and Regina opens and closes her mouth between responding and 'I..', and that made Emma more pissed off, she banged the wall once and
shouts at Regina's face 'Answer me!', Emma stares at the lip and thinks about the excuse she gave her earlier, she walks away and looks at the drawer to finds no cans being used, moved or either damages out of a fall, It made her think as Regina slowly looked up at the cabinet and down to Emma realizing she's putting two and two together and swallows as Emma asks;
"Your lip wasn't hit by a can was it...", Emma looks at the woman who stays completely quiet, she then stares at Regina who had extra cover up on her face, and of course knowing her habits this wasn't a special event for her to be using contour early in the morning, Emma takes out a cloth from the drawer and wets it up with water, she extends her arm while saying;
"You do remember I studied to be a bodyguard and/or private investigator, there's nothing I can't figure out...Wipe it off..", Emma demands and Regina grows a little anxious, she takes the clothe and
begins to wipe it off slowly, when it reaches the part where the fingerprints were marked Emma's eyes widened, she grabs the brunette's face with the palm of her hand gently, looking a little hurt and concerned she asks;
"I just want to know one thing and you have to tell me the truth...was this out of rough sex or she just straight up hit you?, and I need you to be honest about this so you better think twice before trying to lie..." , Emma looks through Regina's eyes waiting for her response, the brunette stays quiet for a few seconds and begins;
"I..umm...she got upset because...I didn't want to do anything to her..but she said sorry and left.., that's the truth at least that's all I can remember...", Regina's voice was sincere but shook and embarrassed to what she put herself into, Emma soothes her as she strokes her dark locks a little while saying;
"Listen... I know you probably know this but I want to make sure...this.." Emma signals the marks and continues, "is not ok, this will never be ok for someone to do to you, what we do to each other out of pleasure is because we both enjoy it and we make sure it doesn't affect us in anyway, but what she did is not ok, no one is allowed to hurt you like that not her, not me or anyone you got that clear?", Emma is staring at the woman for assuring her understanding of course the brunette nods while saying;
"I know but to be honest I really think she realized she crossed the line...please Emma let's just let this go, you end classes this week then we will be going on tour for the events, I don't want to keep fighting anymore...", Regina turns her back and tries to breath in the heavy energy between them, sending
Emma to school has brought so many issues in their relationship that she can't be more relieved that it's finally coming to an end, Emma reaches out and hugs her from the back while saying;
"I'm sorry I lost it, I'm going to try to deal with the Issue of knowing she did this to you, I forgive you...but I don't know If I can let this go...", Emma gives her a kiss on the cheek and was about to go upstairs while Regina questions;
"What do you mean..", Regina looks at the woman who hasn't turned back to face her, as Emma gives it a thought and responds;
"Don't worry about it, we're ok..", Emma continues to go upstairs leaving Regina a slight bit more confused, frowning while placing her finger on her lips giving a thought of the woman's last words.
...
It was around 2:30 am in the morning when Regina was woken up by shouts and banging coming from next door, she looks to the side of the bed looking for Emma which she finds empty and makes her
jump out of the mattress and calling for her around the house where she's nowhere to be found, she looks through the window and she sees Mal and Emma going at it hard, she mouths an 'oh shit..' and runs out to the neighbor's house.
She finds Emma getting kicked on the belly by Mal who was furious and with a bloody nose, Regina pushes her while shouting;
"What the hell are you doing!...", Regina picks Emma up while the blonde was coughing uncontrollably, Mal argues with Regina saying;
"She came into my house and attacked me, I'm calling the cops this is the second time this bitch has come into my home I will not allow it again!", Mal tries to get back as she sees Emma coming to her
again with no mercy or giving two shits what she just said, Regina holds her back by the tank top and shouts;
"Emma that's it!, we're going home...this doesn't solve anything we just need to let it go...I moved on from it you need to do the same...", Emma has a bloody mouth and her cheeks were swollen she was breathing heavily trying to get her words together which she didn't, Emma grabs Regina by the hand and after a dead stare they walked out of the house.
Mal picked up her phone and makes a call she simply says;
"I'm still not going for Plan B, but you can go ahead, I hope you finish her...", Mal hangs up pissed off and staring at the pair as they walk out to their home.
...
After a few weeks Emma Swan graduated from her Management courses, Mal left town, from what
Regina can tell she packed a few suitcases and left, they were adjusting their plans to leave next week and beginning their second tour of Regina's book, the fans were excited to finally see her as she's been away off social media after the chaos between the divorce and now being in a relationship with Emma she needed a break of the bad vibes some press and what we call 'haters', Emma was being a little more loving, caring towards the woman it's like she wanted something for days but couldn't put her finger on it.
Regina was laying on the bed being showered by Emma's kisses, she smiles looking a little smitten as the brunette asks;
"What?...you've been extra loving all this week...is there something you want to ask?..", Regina looks at the woman with playful eyes as Emma hides her face a little for a second, she faces the woman and says;
"Well...I know we are about to hit the tour but I was wondering if well...we've been together for a while and I just think it will be nice if we add someone to our little family...", Emma waits for the reaction but Regina is all around confused and says;
"Ok you lost me...you want a puppy? or...", Regina waits for her response but it hits her like a ton of bricks, eyes widen, mouth is open, the expression is priceless while Emma laughs a little and Regina responds to it;
"Oh no Emma I can't get pregnant now!, we are just starting the events and you know how hectic it gets, are you insane!", Regina starts to babble and Emma tries to reason with her by saying;
"I'm talking about me and since I'm not going to be the bodyguard anymore I'm already making the process into hiring somebody for your protection and I will just be there to take care of your needs...it won't be too hectic for me and I think it will be ok...it's when we are mostly going to be together anyway...", Emma is smiling through all the though and Regina looks pale as a ghost and having nowords to the woman's plans, she's just shocked staring at Emma and processing her unexpected Idea, I mean she hasn't even proposed yet even though that doesn't matter but it's definitely something she thought it would come first, there's no way expecting anything normal about Emma Swan everything comes out of nowhere when it comes to her, but how can she say no?, I mean Emma is smiling with her locks falling forward and her puppy dog eyes hoping she would just say yes, Regina responds;
"I...I don't know I mean you sure this isn't too risky I feel it would be too stressful for you while being pregnant and fans, press, you having to deal with people on the events plus me not being able to havean eye on you all the time...", Regina was heading for all the buts but Emma holds her hands lightly as she assures;
"It will be fine, I wouldn't put myself through this If I couldn't...come on Regina we can do this..", Emma jumps a little on top of the woman while Regina responds with;
"Well...um...let me just sleep on it tonight ok?...", Regina nods looking for an approval and Emma lays next to the woman to shut the lamp off while saying;
"Ok...", they give the goodnight kisses and shut their eyes while Regina had her head full with thoughts and with a huge decision to make, 'Are they ready to bring a baby home?'.
