Graham had already taken the first taxi that was called, so after the outburst Killian apologized on his coworkers behalf, giving all the women hugs and kisses on their cheeks, leaving in a second taxi bound for the station house.
"To reiterate Belle's question, what the hell was that all about?" Ruby asked, slurring a little in the process.
Emma shrugged her toned shoulders, "I have no idea. It's like he was trying to steal Regina away from me, like she was a piece of property or something." She laughed nervously, a pale hand carding through her golden locks.
"Oh darling, no one could ever make me leave you." The tanned woman responded wrapping her arms around her girlfriend and pulling her in for a light peck to pink lips.
Mal spoke up, "Alright, are all of you going to your designated rooms for the night?" She assertively inquired, adding, "Because I still have some rum here that needs to be drank and I'm not a solo drinker." They all sat around the glass coffee table in the living room playing the oldie but goodie game of quarters.
A few hours later found Mal, Ruby and Belle drunk and Regina and Emma a little buzzed. It was a good thing they were all spending the night in Regina and Mal's dorm; there was no way that any of them would be able to walk anywhere safely. They separated and everyone went their own way. Belle, with Ruby barely being held up by her girlfriend, went to Mal's room. Mal unfolded the pullout couch, wrapped it with sheets, grabbed a pillow from her room before Ruby and Belle stumbled to her room and tossed the pillow on the bed. Falling onto the pullout couch she passed out in her clothes as soon as she hit the mattress. Regina and Emma, arms affectionately draped around each other's bodies, made their way to the sable haired woman's room. Both bedroom doors could be heard closing and locking shut.
In Mal's room you could overhear the amorous activity of Ruby and Belle coming from it. Mal was drunkenly snoring in the living room almost dead to the world. Behind the door of Regina's room you could hear soft music.
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my backdoor to
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen up that pretty french gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Come on angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word, my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's to old, 'cause
Tonight's the night (tonight's the night)
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now (tonight, tonight's the night)
Tonight's the night (tonight's the night)
It's gonna be alright (tonight's the night)
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
This is so special Tonight's the night
Don't be afraid
Tonight's the night
Don't be afraid
Tonight's the night
Don't be afraid
I want to make things alright
Tonight's the night
Don't be afraid
They danced, clinging onto one another like the other one was going to disappear into vapor. Regina's hands were loosely hanging onto the blonde's hips, guiding her as they swayed in place to the music, "I still can't believe we're finally here, with each other." The brunette suddenly half - whispered in Emma's soft ear, her lips grazing the lobe.
Shivering, the blonde affirmed, "I know, neither can I." The slightly taller woman answered just as quietly. Her arms around Regina's supple neck lacing her fingers together in the back, Emma pulled her into a hypnotic kiss making her girlfriend quiver with anticipation of what she was hoping would come.
Just then, you could hear the dorm door being kicked in and a gruff voice shouting, "I made a promise and I keep my fucking promises!" The man slurred.
Leaping at the intrusion Mal began to yell, "What the fuck are you doing back here? Get the fuck out!"
"Where is she?!" The ladies heard coming from the living room.
Ruby, Belle, Emma and Regina all flew out of their rooms. Ruby wrapped in a designer sheet, holding a lamp and Emma, still clothed, brandishing the trusty baseball bat with Regina by her side. Rushing over to Mal's side they were at the ready to beat the crap out of whomever had broke in, "Graham?!" Regina shouted at the man who was now puffed up and standing firmly in the middle of the room. Reiterating Mal's question she belted out, "What are you doing here? I thought you left?!"
While all of this was being said Emma had grabbed her phone and called the police, her bat in one hand, phone in the other, "Yeah we have an intruder! No I don't think he's armed! Please get here quickly!"
Graham's eyes were shooting daggers at Emma and Regina, "You two!" He pointed at the newest lovebirds. "You don't belong together!" He bellowed, taking a step closer. "You….!" Singling out the darker brunette, "You belong with Robin!" Pulling out a knife he continued stepping towards the couple. Emma pulled Regina behind her, protecting her from the intoxicated man.
Emma stood up as straight as she could and barked at the man as she gripped the wooden bat in her strong hands, "Regina doesn't belong to anyone!" She retorted aggressively saying, "Put the knife down or else I'll beat you into hamburger!" Emma threatened, fire blazing in her eyes.
"You know what?!" Graham began to say something else when he continued his approach to Regina, when everyone saw Emma take a vicious swing at the man, hearing a loud crack. Dropping the knife he howled, "Fuck! You bitch!" Daggers were being thrown from his eyes at the blonde.
Emma had swung the Louisville Slugger bat making contact with his left arm. "You gonna get out now?!" Emma sniped, not backing down.
Clutching his arm he continued to howl, "You broke my fucking arm you cunt!" He went to take another step toward Regina who was still being protected by Emma. She had begun to take a backswing, preparing to take another shot at his broken appendage. "Okay, okay, I'm leaving!" Not able to pick up the dropped blade, he simply backed up. Once he was in the hallway he spun around and took off like a bear was chasing him.
Mal strutted to the door, slamming it shut and said, "What the fuck was that all about?" Her brows furrowing as she directed the question to no one in particular.
"I don't know but we need to figure it out because we can't keep living this way." Emma answered Mal through grit teeth. Looking at her girlfriend she turned and gathered Regina up in her strong and capable arms.
The dark brunette fisted her tank top with her petite hands not wanting to let go. "I think I might know who's behind Graham's outburst." Regina said coming to a logical conclusion.
Pulling back from the shorter woman the curly blonde inquired, "Who honey? Who's doing this to you?"
Regina took a step back from her lover offering a possibility, "My mother." Gazed down at her nervously wrung hands. "She's always wanted me and Robin to end up together." Gazing up at Emma she continued, "As you know, Robin comes from a prominent family from England and all my mother cares about is power and status. I think she figures that she'd reap some of the benefits if I marry him, which is NEVER going to happen."
Belle toddled over to Regina, placing her arms around her, "We'll figure out a way to get Robin, Graham and your mother out of your life forever."
Ruby joined her girlfriend at the sable woman's side laying her arm across Regina's shoulders, "Yeah, Mal…" she said, "...will help us. Won't you Mal?"
Rubbing the sleep from her eyes the Law major nodded her head, "Anything for Regina here."
The business major glanced up from her hands toward Mal and gave her a weak smile, "Thank you Mal, everyone." Looking around at all of her friends and girlfriend.
"Now that we've established who's behind the asshole's attack, we can go back to bed, yes?" Mal questioned, ushering them all to their assigned rooms for the night.
"Goodnight everyone and thank you again for being such wonderful friends." Regina complimented, her arm around Emma's waist once again, ushering her into her bedroom.
Once the door was closed Regina asked, "Alexa, continue music." The virtual 'person' restarted the music from where it had left off. "Good God you're so beautiful." Praising her girlfriend with no intention. "Kiss me Emma. Please?"
As Emma took a gigantic step towards her girlfriend, she cupped the brunette's olive skinned cheek and drew her towards herself. The kiss started out soft and tender but quickly grew passionate and needy. Open mouths were insistent on delving into one another greedily. Tongues swirling around each other, massaging and gently probing, exploring enthusiastically. The blondes arms surrounding her girlfriend's lithe body, she pulled her impossibly closer as the dark haired woman continued to grasp her hips. Holding Emma in place, not wanting her to move away from her.
Emma finally pulled away from her girlfriend to catch her breath, "As much as I want to take this further, I think we should stop and go to bed."
"But I want you Emma." She pled. Lust filling her eyes.
Emma placed a chaste kiss upon full rosy lips, "Babe, believe me, I want you too, however considering all of the excitement of the night I think we should wait until we're not buzzed and charged emotionally, don't you?"
Hanging her head the brunette softly nodded, "Yes, you're right. But we are going to finish this, soon."
"Nothing could stop me from making love to you." Emma affirmed.
The two women stripped down to their panties and climbed into Regina's fluffy bed, immediately falling into a deep slumber, each other's scent comforting each other. Wrapped up in one another's arms, legs intertwined.
