Regina lay in bed, lost in thought. Today was her first day at a new law firm, and she has been stressed over every little thing that could go wrong on her first day for a week. What if she gets stuck in traffic and arrives late? What if she spills her morning coffee and has to decide on going to the office looking like she rolled in the mud or being late? What if none of her co-workers like her and they convince the boss, a woman named Mallory, to fire her on her first day? The bleak scenarios seem to never end as Regina lay in bed waiting for the alarm to go off so she can just start this day already.

"Stop overthinking and come here," a heavily accented voice groans from beside her. Robin rolls over to his side and pulls Regina to him. She snuggles into the space between his neck and shoulder with a content sigh. Robin kisses Regina's hair and strokes her back. He sleepily looks at the alarm clock and notices the time. "Only ten more minutes 'till we've got to get up, I'm impressed you made it that long, love." He expected her to be up an hour ago, making sure every little thing from her outfit to her hair to her make-up was perfect long before it actually had to be.

Regina rises from her comfortable position to look at him and gives him a sheepish smile. "You know me too well," she said and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek, and then his lips. "I know you think your first day will be disastrous, and I also know you're wrong. 'Cause your're brilliant, and they will love you," Robin said. Regina huffed, "you can't know that." Robin smiled at her and kissed her lightly on the lips. "Yes I can," he murmured against her lips, "just like I know you'll be a lot less stressed today if we have ourselves a little workout this morning, just to ease a bit of tension." He rolled her on her back and hovered over her, hands on both sides of her shoulders, dotting small kisses from her collarbone to her neck. When he reached that spot that always made her breath catch, he stopped to give it a bit of attention and lightly sucked.

"Robin," Regina started but was soon cut off as she moaned when he sucked harder on her neck. He then went on to her jaw, dotting kisses all the way to her lips. When he reached them, he wasted no time in deepening the kiss, running his tongue over hers. Regina let out a small moan and kissed him back with fervor. Her one hand went to his neck to lightly scratch there as the other traveled down his back.

Their kiss turned more heated, and before Regina knew it she had forgotten all about work. Robins own hands were wandering down her body, and just as he made a move to remove her nightgown, the alarm went off.

Regina abruptly broke the kiss and shut the alarm off with a practiced bang on her nightstand. "Shit, Robin stop, I don't have time, I need to get ready", she pushed lightly at his chest, but Robin didn't budge. "You set the alarm 20 minutes early, love, I'd say we've got just the time for a quick round," Robin said in between his continued ministrations on her neck.

"Not happening, I need to get up now," Regina said and snaked out from under him. Robin groaned and fell face first on the now empty space beneath him. He rolled over and watched as Regina padded towards the bathroom to get ready. When she reached the bathroom door she turned around looked over to Robin with a guilty smile, "Sorry dear, I'll make it up to you tonight."

When Robin heard Regina getting ready in the next room he decided to get up and make them some breakfast. He might have pretended to be annoyed at her for denying him but in truth he was only amused. Although Regina's stressed out behavior all week might have been a little maddening, he only loved her more for it. He loves how passionate she was about everything in her life, including work. She really cared about her clients and so he understood why she wanted everything to be perfect today. Robin would do what he could to help her, and though he knew nothing about any legal procedure, he did make some damn good waffles.

While Robin was downstairs in the kitchen Regina got ready. She opted to wear one of her favorite dresses; a black fitted dress that reached just above the knee. It was made of a stretchy material and had a thin belt around the waist. It was professional yet comfortable and thus perfect for today.

After putting on her make-up and doing her hair Regina was all done and was surprised to see Robin was no longer in bed. He always slept in as long as he could, and he didn't have to get up for work for another half hour.

She walked down the stairs of their home on 108 Mifflin Street and smiled when she smelled breakfast. She was usually the one making breakfast since she was up earlier, but Robin was an amazing cook and she was always happy to learn he was busy in the kitchen, because it usually meant a heavenly meal for her.

Regina walked in the kitchen, still barefoot and approached Robin. She stood on her tiptoes and looked over his shoulder, "ooh, waffles, my favorite," she said. Robin jumped, almost dropping the pan with a pancake, startled because he hadn't heard her behind him. "Fuck, Regina, don't scare me like that, I could've burned the house down." Regina chuckled and wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Well, fortunately we have a good insurance then, dear," Regina responded and laid her head on his shoulder for a moment.

"Yes, well the waffles will be lost too, I don't think you'll be so cheery then, miss," Robin teased back. Regina laughed and nuzzled her head against his shoulder, "true."

After they both ate their breakfast and Regina went on her way to work. Her old job used to be a 40 minute drive, but this job was much closer by, in her hometown Storybrooke. Realistically she would be able to walk there, but there wasn't a chance in hell Regina would ever be doing that. It wouldn't be comfortable in her high heels, and Regina was a bit more refined than walking around in trainers, so driving it is.

The short drive was made in silence, as Regina took that time to rethink how she was going to introduce herself when she walked in. She didn't want to come off as either too arrogant or too shy.

She parked the car behind the law firm and walked to the front, smoothing her dress and fluffing her hair. Then she walked in. The first thing she saw was a tall blonde woman, leaning over the desk of one of the legal workers. She must have been checking some work of theirs or answering a question.

Regina immediately stopped in her tracks and looked her over. The blonde was wearing a beautiful grey business suit which accentuated her waist and hips. She wore high heels which made her even taller than she already was. She had the most beautiful blue eyes and delicious red lips. Regina's mouth went dry, and that was the exact moment the blonde saw her and threw a toothy smile her way, maker her way over to Regina.

"Hello, I'm Mallory Dragon, and you must be Regina?" She said in a deep voice. Regina's throat was dry, she didn't know what came over her. She forgot all about her practiced introduction. The other woman was just so intimidating and hot. And apparently her boss. And hot. 'No,' Regina thought, not hot, but pretty or beautiful. Regina didn't think of other women as hot, because she was straight, of that she was sure. No doubt about that. Right?

Hi, this is my first time writing one of these instead of reading, so if anyone has any tips or constructive criticism let me know! I want to know what you think! If anyone is interested at all I'll try to write more and eventually finish this story. This was just a short chapter to introduce you (and myself) to the story.

English isn't my first language so sorry for any mistakes in grammar or spelling, and though I go to law school myself I won't be including any of Regina's actual legal work because I don't know any terms in English. So I'll just write around that lol.

Hope you liked the first chapter!
