Let me know what you think =] thank you so much for your continued reading, makes my day =D hehe. Also let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions :)
Chapter 29
Belle squealed with excitement as she bounced on her toes happily, Ruby laughing at her.
"We'll be right over!" she claimed, before hanging up and throwing her hands around her girlfriend's neck, "She got in! She got in!"
Ruby laughed, "I figured as much by your cute little dance," she teased, hugging Belle back.
Belle bit her lip, "This is so great! Come on," she tugged at Ruby's hand, "We have to go."
"Okay, okay, but Belle?" Ruby asked, pulling her hand free of her girlfriends.
Belle frowned, "What?"
"Can I at least put my top back on?" Ruby asked, searching the floor for it.
Belle bit her lip sheepishly, "Oh," she mumbled, "Sure."
Ruby laughed as she pulled her shirt on over her head and slipped her shoes on, "Thanks," she winked, "I don't think Em and Regina would appreciate a topless me rocking up to their celebration."
Belle giggled, "Well, she does deserve a reward."
Ruby barked a laugh, "Somehow, I think she'd prefer Regina's lack of clothing. Oh!" she pulled her hand free of Belle's again as they walked out the door, "Start the car, I'll be right there!"
Belle sighed dramatically, "What now!? Come on!"
Ruby waved a dismissive hand, "I'll be right there," she repeated, running back into the house.
Regina and Ruby laughed as Belle and Emma hugged each other whilst dancing at the same time, both with wide grins on their faces.
"You guys are so cute," Ruby teased, laughing.
Belle bit her lip but shrugged and just gave Emma another hug, "Yay!" she said for the thousandth time, "Yay! Yay! Yay! You're in! I knew you could do it! You're so amazing, Swan."
Emma giggled, "I am, aren't I?" she grinned, "I couldn't have done it without you, Belle," she turned to the other two women, "Without any of you. Seriously, thank you."
Regina beamed and embraced the blonde, "You're more than welcome."
Ruby gave the next hug, "You're truly inspiring, Em," she whispered in her ear, "I mean it. You really can do anything."
Emma grinned and kissed her on the cheek, "Thanks, Rubes."
"Oh!" Ruby exclaimed, "Stay here," and with that she ran out the front door leaving the remaining three women staring after her confused.
"Your girlfriend's weird, Belle," Emma said.
Belle laughed, "I know, right? She was being odd earlier too."
"Is it the whole dark, mysterious thing, perhaps?" Regina guessed.
Belle giggled, "Maybe," she shrugged.
"She is the tall, dark, handsome type," Regina agreed with a shrug.
Emma squinted before she laughed, "Tall…dark…handsome," she rolled her eyes, "Not feeling the love here," she quirked an eyebrow, pushing a hand through her own hair, "Short, blonde…"
"Mm, my baby," Regina pulled Emma close, "Angel. Precious girl."
Ruby ran back through the front door with a paper bag in tow and sped through the house without a word as the women watched her still just as confused. After bounding up the stairs, she quickly hopped back down them and threw something at Emma before picking up the paper bag and throwing it at a confused Belle.
Emma frowned and unfolded the material in her hands as Belle did the same until they both held their Columbia jumpers in their hands. They grinned at one another before they each pulled their jumpers on over their heads.
"Columbia, here we come," Belle squealed.
Emma high fived her, "Fuck yes," she swore.
Belle dug out her mobile phone and raised it up in the air, as she wrapped an arm around Emma and posed for a selfie.
Regina rolled her eyes, "Oh, such teenagers," she muttered.
Emma merely stuck her tongue out at her as Ruby photo bombed their next selfie.
Regina laughed before she did the same, planting a kiss on Emma's cheek as the flash went off.
"This is like the best day ever," Belle commented, a little less hyper-active than before as she and Emma lay on the grass, staring up at the clouds whilst the other two women prepared lunch.
Emma grinned, "It's pretty good," she said.
Belle bit her lip and turned to face her friend, "I told Ruby I love her."
Emma's eyebrows shot up as she turned on her side, "You did? Wow. That's…amazing, Belle… What did she say?"
Belle grinned, "She said she loves me too."
Emma's eyes softened at the sight of the light in Belle's eyes, "I'm so happy for you," she smiled.
Belle turned on her back once again as she sighed, "Yeah…and then we…well… yeah," she sighed again.
Emma laughed, "Then you what?" she asked, watching her friend blush.
Belle shrugged, "Nothing. It's private," she claimed unconvincingly.
Emma tilted her head, "Oh come on, you tell me and I'll tell you," she bounced her eyebrows.
Belle bit her lip and giggled, leaning close to her friends ear, "I saw…her…you know, breasts," she giggled again.
Emma giggled too, feeling like they were youngsters again as the two of them rolled around laughing, "Were they nice?" Emma asked when she stopped laughing.
Belle nodded, "Really nice," she whispered, as though still afraid someone would overhear them.
Emma grinned, "Regina's are nice too," she claimed, somewhat proudly.
Belle blushed on hearing about her teacher's breasts, "Did you guys… you know," she hesitated, "Did you have sex yet?" she lowered her voice even more so.
Emma shrugged, "I don't know, man," she sighed, "Girls are complicated. Like, we…you know…"
Belle tilted her head, "Like what?"
"Hang on," Emma sat up and looked at her friend who panicked and sat up at the same time, "Have you? Did you and Ruby – "
"Shhh," Belle said as her friend's voice grew louder, "No, no," she shook her head, "Jeez, Em, tell the whole world, why don't you?"
Emma lay back down, "Sorry," she grinned, sheepishly, "But I mean, she treats you right, right?" she asked.
Belle rolled her eyes, "Em," she whined.
"Oh come on, you're my bestie, I'm meant to be protective," Emma said.
Belle nodded with a sigh, "Don't worry, she's very…considerate."
Emma smiled, "Good."
"So?" Belle prompted.
"Hm?" Emma asked.
"You and Regina…how far?" Belle asked curiously, watching the smile become shy on her friend's face as she turned to look at her.
Emma shrugged, "Well… earlier, we were, you know, celebrating… hmm, how do I say this in a way that won't taint your sensitive ears?"
Belle's cheeks heated, "Oh shut up, I like sex too you know," she claimed, "Just because I'm not all crass like you and Ruby."
Emma laughed, "Fine then. I think they call it," she pretended to think, "finger fucking."
Belle's eyebrows shot up.
"It's, you know – "
"I know what it is!" Belle snapped, "I read fanfic too, you know."
Emma shrugged, "Okay, okay."
Belle giggled, "Was it…like, good?"
Emma blushed but nodded, "It was amazing."
The two broke into giggles again.
Belle stopped first, "Hang on, you were celebrating?"
Emma nodded, "Yeah."
"So, you didn't call me straight away?" Belle hit her friend playfully on the shoulder.
Emma bit her lip and shrugged, "Sorry I was too busy having sex with my girlfriend," she said sarcastically, hitting Belle back gently, "Anyway, you were probably too busy with Ruby anyway."
Belle nodded, "Well, yeah, but only cause she was trying to distract me cause I kept checking my phone."
Emma snickered, "Distract you with her breasts."
Belle rolled her eyes, "Shhh, Swan," she pushed at her friend.
"What are you two laughing about? You're like children, rolling all over the place." Ruby had an eyebrow quirked as she looked down on the other two women that her and Regina had been laughing at curiously through the window.
The two just shrugged, exchanging childish smiles as they stood up, wiping the grass off their clothes and heading in for lunch.
