These are just random ideas that pop into my head and I thought instead of trying to make actual stories out of them I would just make short ones. Enjoy! :)
Dinner for two
Standing outside Granny's on the bottom step, Emma looked across at Regina standing beside her who was currently giving the blonde's hand a squeeze having taken in her nervous expression. "Are you sure you are ready for this?"
The brunette nods giving a small smile. "Yes I am sure; I don't want us to have to hide anymore"
Emma smiles at this and nods herself taking a deep breath. "Maybe we should..."
As if on cue, the mayor released the sheriff's hand from her grasp knowing exactly what the blonde was going to say."You are right..."
It was now the brunette's turn to take a deep breath as Emma grabs the door pulling it open for them. Regina gives her smile of thanks and walks inside. Emma follows behind her.
Inside the diner, Ruby looks over to the sound of the door spotting the mayor and rushes to the other side of the counter where the said woman usually sits herself on the end stool. "Mayor Mills, would you like your usual?"
Regina raises an eyebrow at Ruby's movement of automatically placing cutlery and napkins in her 'spot'.
Having then watched the blonde disappear further into the diner finding a booth, the brunette shakes her head. "No thank you Miss Lucas I am not dining alone tonight"
Ruby looks shocked as Regina walks over sitting herself opposite a smiling Emma in a booth. The tall brunette walks back to where Granny is standing at the counter with Belle sat on a stool across from them, all three watching in the unlikely couple's direction. Ruby bites her pen. "Am I the only one confused?"
Granny shakes her head while Belle frowns taking in the sight of Regina laughing at something Emma had said. Regina, laughing. "I guess they have decided to be friends for Henry's sake?"
Ruby shrugs at Belle's comment before being nudged in the rib by Granny. "Hey!"
Granny gestures to the booth. "How about you go do your job and find out?"
Ruby realizes that Granny just wants her to spy and smiles with a nod grabbing her notepad. "I'll be right back!"
Both Granny and Belle exchange a concerned look over how egger Ruby appears at finding out as she practically runs over to the booth stopping next to Emma. "Hey Emma...who knew you were the one our mayor here was meeting.."
Emma raises an eyebrow at her friend as Regina looks amused by the comment. Over at the counter, Granny is practically hitting her head shaking in disbelief over how obvious Ruby is behaving. Belle bites her lip covering her mouth.
"What can I say Rubes..I'm full of surprises"
Regina clears her throat at Ruby staring. Ruby blinks then holds her notepad up. "Right of course what are you guys having?"
Emma looks to Regina who gives her a look, at this point both women knowing exactly what Ruby's game is and decides to play along. The brunette reaches across the table placing her hand on Emma's arm. "What would you like dear?"
Ruby's eyes widen at the action and looks over at the counter mouthing 'oh my god' . Emma smiles biting her lip gesturing with her head for Regina to look at Ruby's response.
"Miss Lucas? Will you be taking our order sometime today or are you going to continue gossiping about mine and Emma's relationship to your grandmother and crush?"
Emma looks away at Regina's comment stifling a giggle as Ruby looks to them as red as a beetroot then to the counter to see if anyone else heard. Most importantly, Belle. Taking a breath at the fact the woman's back is turned, Ruby glances back to what appeared to be a hiding blonde and a evil smirking mayor. Taking their orders, Ruby walks to the counter not uttering a word getting their food ready.
Emma looks over at Regina. "That was..harsh.."
Regina smiles playfully stroking her arm causing the blonde to just take hold of her hand. "Not harsh dear, I was simply pushing Miss Lucas into the right direction with regards to her love life and our dinner"
Emma chuckles as Regina links their fingers causing a few people to glance their way.
Leaving the diner after dinner and a couple of drinks, both Emma and Regina felt more comfortable and relaxed with being able to just be themselves as they walk along main street holding hands while Regina also hugged into Emma's arm.
"That was not what I was expecting!"
Emma shakes her head giving a chuckle. "Did you hear Leroy when he walked past?"
Regina frowns. "No enlighten me please?"
Emma grins and tries to put on her best Grumpy voice. "Huh?...nice one"
Regina laughs burying her head into the blonde's shoulder. "Trust Leroy to be thinking of one thing"
Emma looks at her playfully. "Oh yeah and what would that be?"
Regina lets out a half hearted laugh and slaps her arm. " you know exactly what I am implying Swan"
Emma stops walking with a grin taking both of Regina's hands in her own. "Oh I do, do I? Care to enlighten me this time...Mills"
Regina's jaw drops before chuckling at how bold Emma is being. Observing main street for any people, the mayor looks back to the blonde and shrugs her shoulders. "Oh what the hell, everyone will know soon enough" grinning, the brunette grabs Emma, cupping both sides of her face and kissing her.
Emma kisses back instinctively wrapping her arms round the brunette's waist. Feeling adventurous, the blonde then trails one of her hands down in the direction of Regina's butt. The brunette automatically gives her a slap away. "Hey!"
Emma laughs into the kiss as the mayor places her hand back on Emma's face continuing to make out in public until air is needed.
Neither women had witnessed Leroy walking on the opposite side of the street. Pausing he looks over with a raised brow.
"Damn.."
