"Damn, she invited you to her house?" Ruby asked as she tossed a few pieces of candy into her mouth.
"Yep," Emma replied, smirking.
"And on a Monday night too? Damn, she must be desperate for you,"
"I mean, obviously I don't sleep anyway; but if all goes to plan, she won't really be sleeping tonight either,"
"Holy shit, I want all the details! Well, maybe not all of them, I really don't want to be scarred. But I want just enough details!"
"Alright then,"
"Wait, do David and Mary Margaret know about this?"
"I've said that I won't be home for at least a few hours tonight, so they can probably assume I'll be with someone. But it's not like they can tell me what to do,"
"Fair enough,"
Emma jumped down from her bedroom ceiling, then went to her bathroom. She applied a few touches of makeup, then curled her hair.
With her super human-like speed, she changed into somewhat nice clothes. She didn't want to be too formal for this, but at the same time, not too casual.
As she pulled her red leather jacket over her arms, she sent a smirk towards her best friend.
"What do ya think?" She asked, grinning.
"You look hot, and I'm sure Ms. Mills will agree when she gets her hands on you," Ruby replied.
Emma chortled, then looked at herself in the bathroom mirror.
"I'll see you tomorrow," she said, knowing where she had to be.
She made her way to the garage, then hopped in the driver's seat of her yellow bug. She never really liked driving too much, which is why she was usually the one in the passenger seat of Ruby's car; or she would just run. However, Regina didn't live within walking distance.
As soon as the car started, she backed out of the driveway and started for her teacher's house. She connected her phone to the Bluetooth, then decided to play the Pitch Perfect soundtrack. It was fitting, considering that her and Regina both loved the movies and they both shipped Bechloe.
She mouthed along to most of the songs, grinning as she listened to her favorite characters. When she got to the pool mashup song, her smile grew even bigger as she imaged Beca and Chloe singing to each other in the movie.
As Emma pulled up to Regina's driveway, she took a deep breath. If all went to how she had planned it, the two of them would sleep together tonight. Maybe even a few more times after tonight if she was lucky. And then after that, she would do what she had done to every girl since Lily; leave.
"Emma," Regina greeted her as she opened the door. She waved hello, then walked inside.
"Do you live alone?" Emma asked.
"I do, but Robin is over quite often," she replied. "Is there anything I can get you?"
"No thanks, I'm good,"
Regina let in a deep inhale, already feeling the awkward tension between them. So she grabbed her wrist and then dragged her to the couch.
"Emma, we do need to talk about this; we need to talk about us," she said, gesturing to the space between them.
"You're right," she admitted.
Before the talking started, Emma leaned in to close the space between them. In case this night did not go as planned, she didn't want to leave with nothing.
Luckily, Regina moaned into the kiss as she brought her hands up against the side of Emma's face.
Meanwhile, Emma's hands were roaming all over her chest. As soon as she found Regina's sensitive spot, her teacher backed away.
"No, Emma. We need to talk,"
"Ugh, fine,"
They stared into each other's eyes for a few moments of silence, and it was taking all self-restraint for them not to kiss one another again.
"So, obviously there's something going on between us," Regina started, scooting back away from Emma, who nodded in agreement. "So we need to figure out what to do,"
"Well there's definitely an attraction here, or else this wouldn't even be happening," she replied, this time it was Regina who nodded in agreement.
"If you couldn't tell before, I've developed feelings for you. I talked to my sister about it, and her advice was to stay as far away from you as possible. Part of me agreed with her that that was the best option, but I couldn't do it. There's just something special about you,"
"Why didn't you listen to her?"
"I listened to my niece instead, who told me to follow my heart... and my heart is leading me towards you, Emma,"
"So... you want to try this out?"
"I do. But we need to figure out how it would work; we would need to set some rules, obviously,"
"Alright," Emma replied, grinning widely. She leaned closer to her.
"No one can know about us,"
"I will not tell a single human," Emma said, hiding a smirk. She technically wasn't lying.
Regina raised an eyebrow at the strange way she worded that, but shrugged it off.
"We can't be out in public, at least not in Storybrooke. Even if we claim that it's just a tutoring session or something, we can't have anyone suspect anything,"
"Okay,"
"That's all I can think of. Would you like to add anything?"
"Nah, that's good for me,"
Regina smiled and Emma's heart instantly melted at how cute she looked. She returned her smile, feeling butterflies growing in her stomach.
At the same time, both of them leaned in and instantly connected their lips. There was only one thing on Regina's mind; she needed more.
They both got on their knees on the couch, then deepened the kiss.
Regina took no time to find Emma's bra, quickly unclasping it. As soon as the item was discarded, her shirt came right after.
Emma decided to take her time, placing soft open mouth kisses all over her neck. She trailed down to her collarbones, then she made her way down to her chest.
After that, she pulled Regina's shirt over her arms and tossed it to the other side of the room. Her teacher let out a moan as she unhooked her bra.
Emma then slid down off of the couch, then connected her hands to the waist of Regina's pants. Her hips bucked in response as her student easily slid her pants down, then over her ankles.
She leaned over, then connected their lips once again. However, Regina was getting impatient. So with one hand wrapped around Emma, she reached for her own underwear with the other. As soon as they were off, she looked at Emma with pleading eyes.
Emma was staring wide eyed at her naked teacher, feeling a bunch of different things at once. She was excited, because this had been what she had been wanting to do for the past two and a half months.
At the same time, it didn't feel right. She had been with so many girls since Lily, and she never felt anything romantic towards any of them. She had closed herself off from romance, deciding that she would never love anyone like that again.
So of course, she wasn't planning on Regina being any different. She just wanted to get into her pants, then get out of her life. But something was different now.
As she looked into her eyes, Emma felt something that she hadn't felt in a long time. She hadn't felt it in over 100 years, to be exact.
She didn't want to move on and leave like she always had. She wanted to stay by her side, and always see her smile. She wanted to see her face light up, and she wanted to be the reason her face lit up.
"I can't," she said aloud, pulling herself away from her naked teacher. "I'm sorry, Regina."
Letting out a disappointed sigh, Regina sat up, then covered herself with a blanket.
"I'm sorry," Emma apologized again. As much as it hurt, she knew it was the right thing to do.
"Why, Emma? I thought we just agreed that we had something? And don't act like you weren't just as eager to rip of my clothes as I was,"
"I know," she replied, looking away. "We do have something, but I wanna take it slow, if that's okay with you,"
"Oh my god, Emma are you a virgin? I'm so sorry, I should have figured. We'll wait until you're ready,"
"No, it's not that; I'm not a virgin. It's just that I like you, Regina. I like you a lot. I want our first time to be really special."
"I suppose that makes sense. Although I can't say that I'm not disappointed,"
"I really am sorry... but I just think we should wait, okay?"
"I understand, Emma. Now if you would be so kind to wait for a moment, I'm going to change into pajamas now,"
"Have anything I can change into?" Her eyes glistened with hope.
"You still want to spend the night?"
"You've already fallen asleep on top of me once, Mills,"
"Fair point," she replied with a smile chuckle. "Come with me into my room, I'm sure we can find something,"
Regina took her hand, then led her into her bedroom. She grabbed a pair of silk pajamas for herself, then got another pair of silk pajamas for Emma.
After they were both changed, Regina quickly connected their lips once again.
She knew that this was as far as they would be going for now, and as much as that had disappointed her earlier, she knew it would be okay.
Regina took her hand, then pulled them both onto the bed. This time Emma was the one to initiate the kiss as she climbed on top of her.
As Regina moaned into the kiss, her mind wandered other places.
"Emma," she said in between kisses. "If we're not going to do that, I really think we should be getting to sleep. We both have school tomorrow,"
Emma groaned, then laid on her back next to Regina. It wasn't like she would even be sleeping anyway. So she sighed, then nodded.
Regina leaned over and placed a quick kiss on her lips, then crawled under the blankets.
She snuggled up close to Emma, and was asleep within minutes.
As soon as Emma knew she was asleep, she crawled out of her grasp to grab a phone charger. If she was going to spend the next seven hours here, she at least wanted to have a full battery so she could keep herself occupied through the night.
When she returned to the room, she plugged her phone in, then jumped upside down on the ceiling. For a few minutes, she was in silence playing games.
After those few minutes were up, she looked down at Regina and her heart melted.
"I have feelings for Regina Mills," she whispered aloud, feeling the shock of those words.
Letting out a quiet sigh, Emma got back to her games.
Despite the fact that she had promised herself that she would never open her heart up to anyone ever again, Emma smiled as she stole another glance at Regina.
She had feelings for her, and there was no denying it now.
