Chapter 12

(Another Room in the hotel)

"Ruben?"

"Hmm"

"What do you think of this contract?"

"Well if you ask me it seems quite risky considering whom is it coming through" Ruben offered his opinion.

"I told you this is his only chance of redeeming himself"

"Oh come on Emmett, aren't you surprised that he was able to pull this off this quickly in only a week with that much worth of property" questioned Ruben.

"It doesn't matter Ruben, with the money he has received from these papers, it will pay off his debt in Europe and he will be back after he is done with his business over there to work together with me on our family business. That is all I care about" even though Emmett didn't smile often but Ruben could tell he was happy for his younger brother.

"Very well my dear friend, now lets get back home" Ruben really missed New York compare to this place here.

Emmett was not paying attention to him anymore he was staring intently at one paper from the file. "Ruben this paper doesn't have the signatures; it needs to be signed. Besides we can't leave yet" Emmett answered.

"What! Why?" this disappointed Ruben.

"Because the property is from here someplace named StoryBrooke" Emmett explained.

"Alright lets go then" Ruben couldn't help but agree to whatever his friend demanded.

"I bet you wish our receptionist dearly" teased Emmett with smirk on his face.

"Shut up" Ruben punched his childhood friend but couldn't stop himself from blushing.

As Emmett walked out of the room, Ruben came after him and locked their room. They both walked towards the exit of the hotel while talking about little talks about business and personal life. As Emmett grabbed the handle on the exit door he felt someone else hand on to of his he turned to his side and saw the same girl who had bumped him into yesterday when they came into the hotel.

"You" he said under his breath as he glared at her.

"Yes me" Regina glared with equal seriousness at him. Ruben couldn't help but look at the scene and let out a laugh. That's when both turned towards him and were now staring at him.

"What?" Ruben just shrugged his shoulders.

"Lets go Ruben, I don't have time for people like her" Emmett commented as he reached to open the door to leave but stopped.

"Who do you think you are talking to? Just because you find yourself busy does not mean everybody else life is unimportant compare to yours" Regina couldn't stop herself from getting angry at this man who seemed to think so highly of himself.

"Then you should get back to your business and I will get back to mine. Now good day" with that Emmett opened up the door and was out of the hotel Ruben went after Emmett as well not before saying his good byes to Regina.

'Why do I keep bumping into him on my worst times' Regina didn't know why he was bothering her mind so much. She just decided to let it go for now and went out the door towards her sister's car to go back home.

"Took you long enough little sis" Zelena teased, as Regina was about to reach the car.

"Jj—Just get me home sis" she wasn't in the mood to play around.

(On the other side of the parking lot)

"You know you can be a little nicer once in a while" Ruben told his friend.

"I don't need to be anything towards anyone Ruben"

"If you ask me you owed her an apology for spilling your drink on her dress yesterday"

Ruben offered as he looked at his friend with a serious face.

"No Ruben, it was her fault for getting in my way, she clearly didn't know where she was walking" Emmett reasoned out.

Ruben just hung his head down shook it left to right slowly, why was it so hard for his friend to accept his mistake. He just let out a sigh!

"Very well then" with that he drove out of the hotel towards Storybrooke.

(R & Z)

"Yes mother, Regina is with me at the moment…Well you won't be able to talk to her right now because she is sleeping…It will take us another hour mother to reach home. Alright bye mother see you soon" Zelena glanced at her sister and noticed the tears flowing out of her eyes. She just went back to driving.

"Robin Nolan…Marian Nolan" Zelena said out loud to herself with anger laced to her voice.

"ROBIN!" yelled as she woke up from her broken sleep.

"Sis! Sis! Are you alright?" the shout surprised Zelena for a second she thought she hit someone on her car. She kept glancing back at her sister while keeping eyes on the road as well to make sure Regina was all right.

"It was just a dream" informed Regina.

"Would you mind sharing what it was about?" inquired Zelena. Trying to get her to talk to her.

"No, I don't want to talk about him at the moment" Regina just closed her eyes again trying very hard to forget about her dream of Robin. It felt so real to her. They were back at the hotel like the night when they made love. Every thing was happening over again in the dream except after the wedding night instead of Robin leaving she finds him in a car crash. Maybe that was it something happened to them something life threatening. No that couldn't be she would have been confirmed about it since she was his wife now. But nothing of that sort has had happened.

"We are here sis" Zelena announced. But received no answer from Regina.

"Regina" Zelena said while shaking her out of her trance.

"Huh" Regina looked at Zelena trying to figure out what was she trying to say.

"I said we are here, we are home" Zelena helped her out of the car.

She was back home, home to her parents, her daddy. But will she be able to face them after what happened. 'It was bound to happen sooner or later' thought Regina.
