Emma woke up and it's her lovely girlfriend's face the first thing she sees in the morning. This has been Emma's life for the last 4 years. Wake up beside a woman who loves her as much as she loves her back.
Regina just looks at her with those chocolate eyes that makes Emma melts every time. "I'm really going to miss you, you know that?"
Through sleeping lashes Emma huffed loudly. "Gina, it will be just couple of weeks". But even just a couple of hours seems like an eternity for Regina.
Regina and Emma met 4 years ago. They were introduced by common friends. Although, they were pushed several times to meet it wasn't until months later that Regina finally accepted.
She wasn't on her best mood at that time. After moving to Toronto to pursue her career as a violinist, being far from her family and friends took a hard troll on her and adding a very busy schedule to the equation; let's say in her head it just wasn't the rigth time.
Looking back now, knowing everything she went through she knows she took the rigth decision at the rigth time, to get her where she is now. "Which is gonna seem like an eternity, right?"
Emma smiles. "An eternity, and then some."
"Oh, it's better, you bloody woman" Regina says patting her on her shoulder to encourage her to finally wake up.
"Say it again" Emma replies playfully. Regina furrow her eyebrows at her come back – "Say what?" she asked rolling back on the bed when Emma moves on top of her.
"I love hearing you use English swear words. Say 'bloody'" Emma request, while give her a soundly morning kiss.
Using that sultry voice that drives Emma crazy Regina accepts her challenge "Bloody".
"Say bugger"
"Bugger"
Giving in to Emma's childish behaviour Regina playfully kisses her noise. "You bugger, you bloody bugger."
"That's the word"
Their kisses intensify, hands roamed, and Regina's satin camisole rides up. The room suddenly become hotter, and Emma is now fully awake. "Oh, crap" she exclaims while looking at her clock on her beside table. It marks 8:10am, so she is pretty much 10mins late from her morning routine. Jumping out the bed Emma reminds her about her upcoming presentation.
"Baby, I have to get dressed, run through my notes, rehearse my presentation…."
"Have a nervous breakdown, ignore your half-naked girlfriend. Give me two seconds" Regina says while pushing her back to the bed. "Just stay right there and don't move your cute ass"
Regina immediately runs to her closet. "Don't tell me, there's a gift" Emma replies while her green eyes sparkle with excitement.
"There's a gift" Regina replies from behind the door while she rushes to change.
Emma tries to push the door open. "There's always a gift. It makes me feel very guilt" But Regina beats her to it by showing her face just for a second to reminder her that that was her intention. Make her feel guilty.
"I have a present, too" Emma says trying to sound collected while internally thinking how is that she always forgets important dates. "I'll give it to you later because it's a surprise." She says while moving back to the bed completely lost on her own thoughts.
A door is open, and Regina comes out tip toeing dress up on a red leather jacket that is being kept zipped at the front by Regina's hands. "Great. I love surprises." She says with a huge smile on her face.
Emma turned around and is faced with a wonderful sight. "It's perfect"
"I know. Vintage, genuine leather. And it does come with this." She says, raising a brow with a sultry smile on her face and opening her arms wide to reveal a black silk two-piece underwear that render Emma speechless.
Gulping loudly and with darkening eyes Emma only answer "Nice lining, silk."
After two seconds Emma's brain catches up and she rushes to grab Regina by her waist getting giggles from the brunette. Regina is thrown back to the bed while Emma kisses her neck savouring Regina's taste and smell that drives Emma insane. Both women moan in anticipation for what is about to happen.
But again, the clock catches Emma's vision and the mood is suddenly lost. "What?" Regina replies soundly very annoyed.
"I have to get ready, you know how important this meeting is" Emma replies while seating on the bed. "If it goes well, you know what that you could mean."
Regina only replies is to take off the jacket and showing Emma what she is missing on "Emma…"
The blond cannot take her eyes out of Regina's cleavage encompass in black silk. So inviting, creamy skin just ready to be touched. Savored…
"Regina, please have mercy" she requests while putting the jacket back on Regina's shoulder in an attempt to regain some composure. Emma rushes out to the bathroom.
Regina tries again to get her attention by throwing the jacket to the bed and following the blonde to the bathroom. While Emma steps in front of the bathroom mirror, Regina sits on the sink and envelopes the blonde's waist with her legs. "You know, that's what I was thinking, that after you close the deal and knock them dead..."
Emma moves around the bathroom still thinking about her day, while Regina links her arms around her neck so Emma can easily lift her and carries her around while she stays her point. "it would be a perfect time to step back, relax, and..."
Frustrated, Emma interrupts her "And?"
"And go to Ohio, I want you to go to my sister's wedding with me. You can meet everyone. I really want you to go to this wedding with me" But Regina could see the guilt on her eyes. It was all written. Getting off the blonde, a defeated Regina replies "You're not coming?", sounding more like a statement than a question.
"I tried to free things up but you know how hectic work's been." Emma's only apology.
"I'm really sorry."
Trying to know show how deeply this hurts her. Regina acknowledges her excuse and mutters "That's okay." While stepping out of the bathroom leaving a very guilty Emma behind.
Regina, is prepping breakfast when she feels two hands coming from behind and wrapping around her slender form like a snake or a teddy bear, depending who you ask.
"I'm really sorry to let you down about Indiana." Emma mutters while kissing her neck.
"Ohio." Emma face-slap herself in her mind. This reminds her how lucky she is to still have this woman putting on with her.
"Bugger, I'm sorry" Again, she tries to apologize one more time that morning. "I'm just going to have to meet your sister at the next wedding"
Regina looks at her like she is a mad person while still working around the kitchen. "What wedding?
Green eyes shines bright "Ours. Next year."
Rolling her eyes, trying to sound compose even though internally she is dying for this to be an actual proposal, Regina replies "Me? Marry you? A girl who confuses the buckeye state with the hoosier state? I don't think so." She keeps her eyes on the task at hand.
With a last kiss on Regina's shoulder Emma walks out. "I'm going to take a shower now."
"Be my guest." Regina mutters under her breath.
15mins later Emma is looking fresh and ready for her day. She is reviewing her notes for her meeting while Regina signs in the background making her lose her focus. "Regina?" A frustrated Emma says.
"Regina?" she tries again heading for the kitchen and getting the attention of the brunette who is trying really hard to look cool while she is obviously very upset.
"I am cool. Ready for breakfast?" Regina replies while flipping a pancake in the air and let it fall in a plate in front of her lover. "Bon appetite."
Emma looks at her watch confirming how late she is.
"Hey" Regina says getting the blondes attention. "I don't care how big this meeting is. You are going to eat."
"Sorry Gina, there's no tim…"
"Aw!" Regina exclaims as she burns her hand while grabbing a kettle from the kitchen with her bare hands. "I'm such a klutz" she says while running to the kitchen sink to run some cold water.
Emma runs to the fridge to get some ice for her. Tenderly she grabs Regina by her waist and turns her around to inspect the damage. "Show me."
"Better?" Emma asks without taking her eyes from her lover's hand.
"Much"
"Good". For one minute they get lost in each other; but the reality comes crashing down again.
