And So It Begins...

POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND.

I wanted to shoot whoever decided that it was a good idea to start construction at 6:30AM but when I opened my eyes and attempted to sit up the pounding got worse. Realizing it was my head, immediately I grabbed it with my hands and pressed my palms against my temples. Attempting to inhale through my nose, my breath was caught by the worse nasal congestion ever.

What the fuck. Am I sick. No, no, no, no, if mom finds out she'll make me stay home from school and I won't get to see Regina. Or play volleyball. But really it's all about Regina. Kicking the sheets off me I swung my legs over the side and stood up only to be hit by a dizzy spell, falling back on to the bed.

"Emma honey, you up?" mom asked from the other side.

"Yea." I grumbled pathetically and tried to sit up.

I'm such a wimp when I get sick. The door cracked open and mom poked her head in. I must've looked as shitty as I felt because her eyes widened and she rushed over to me.

"Are you okay?" she said in a concerned tone.

"I'm good, I think I just need a shower then I'll get ready for school." Jesus I didn't even recognize my own voice with how nasally I was.

Pulling her eyebrows together she shook her head no then placed the back of her hand on my forehead.

"You're a little warm, I think we should keep you home just to be safe."

"No!" I whined and she gave me a confused look. "I just...don't want to miss this test I have." I fumbled as the lie rolled out my mouth.

"I think you're teacher will understand. You're hardly ever absent."

Standing up she looked at me with an 'I'm not budging' face.

"Fine." I said and slumped my shoulders.

"Great, I'll heat you up some tea before I leave but please call me if you need me to come home."

I smiled weakly and she leaned down to kiss me on the cheek then walked out of the room. I flopped my back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Well this fucking sucks, usually I'd be down to stay home from school but not today. Probably not ever as long as Regina is their until I graduate and maybe not even though. Rolling over on my stomach I grabbed my phone to send her a text but as I opened our thread a new message from her popped up.

Good morning :) Running behind because I woke up late. If you get there before I do just meet me at my spot and we can spend some time together before school starts. Also so you're not surprised Mal will be our new VP.

I could have gone without that news this morning. Ignoring the last half of the text, I reread the first part and smiled. It was nice of her to text me she was running late, kind of showed that she was looking forward us hanging out.

Damn it, why in the fuck do I have to be sick today. How did I even get sick? Was it because I wasn't wearing a jacket on the bike yesterday? That would be ridiculous but stranger things have happened.

Thanks for letting me know and sadly I won't be at school today because I'm sick. Even though I don't feel that bad mom is making me stay home.

As I sent the text I attempted to sniff and my head pounded. Okay, maybe I do feel that bad. My phone buzzed in my hand but I frowned because it was only Jefferson texting me back in our group thread. Not that I didn't want to hear from him, just hoping it was her.

Awesome! Can't wait to see you on it. When will you be taking me for a ride?

I laughed out loud and my cell went off with a text from Ruby.

Nope J I go first! So happy for you Em!

Thanks to both of you but I think I'm going to enjoy this bike before I take anyone on it.

Killian sent me the crying laughing emoji with a gif of Pam and Jim from The Office giving each other an air high five.

Right back at you Killian, you guys will have to wait to see me, staying home because I'm sick.

Sitting up in bed I tried to think of how I could make this day better. I could only text Regina and my friends for so long before school started. I guess maybe catch up on some homework, work on my project. Yea, I could fill this day up.

Killian's name lit up on my phone and I picked it up.

"Hey."

"Damn, so we didn't get you yesterday and now we don't get you today? This is just so unfair." he joked on the other end and I chuckled.

"Yea well if it makes you feel better I'll miss you guys too." Not completely, like I'd say 30% but the rest goes to well...I think it's obvious.

"Aw, well aren't you just sweet. By the way you sound like shit."

"Thanks ass." I giggled and he laughed.

"Well, I gotta go. I'm going to pick up Aliey this morning. I just wanted to call and tell you to feel better. Also I think the gang misses you so stop ditching us for your hot crush."

My face went pale. Um…shit.

"I'm not ditching you guys..."

Has he seen us? If he has, has anybody else?

We'll have to be more careful.

"Relax I'm not going to rat you out to the others. Just don't forget about us little people." he teased.

"Wait Killian." I said seriously. "Did you see us or something?"

I heard him shuffle around in the background then the door to his truck close.

"No, don't worry. You're good."

Sighing in relief I ran a hand through my hair.

"So how did you know?"

"Because why else would you be skipping the mornings and lunch with us?"

Damn him and knowing me so well.

"Oh."

My voice was soft. How is he taking this?

"Listen, I won't say anything You've kind of always had a thing for older women. Enjoy the day and take care of yourself, okay love?"

Love. He hasn't called me that in forever and he generally only uses it when I'm feeling really down or just in a mood.

"Okay. Thanks Killian." I said.

"Of course, and really quick, I want to talk to you about Aliey. I think I'm going to ask her out."

Chuckling I nodded my head then realized he couldn't see it.

"Sounds good. How's Friday after the game? We can hang out."

"I like it. Alright Em, I'll talk you later. Text me if you get bored."

"Will do. Bye."

He said bye then we hung up and as I took my phone away from my ear I saw I had a text from Regina.

I'm sorry to hear that :( What do you think it is? Are your parents staying home to take care of you?

Will my parents be home? That's an interesting question

I'll be home by myself for most of the day then dad gets off around 2:30 but until then it's just me myself and I

Lol you're much stronger than I am. I'm a huge baby when I'm sick, it's the only time I ever lean on somebody else

Her texts this morning seem different. Much softer, much more open and honest. I know it's text and you can never really read how somebody is saying something but with Regina I feel like I know. With the 'good morning' and 'I'm running late'. It all just seems so couple-esk.

You being a baby? I can't even picture it :'D since we're being honest here, so am I, but I hate being waited on. Unless it was from you then I probably wouldn't mind. So if you're in the mood to see me at lunch I don't think I'd hate that.

I waited for a response but none came. Sighing at the possibility of her getting ready while I had to stay home I got out of bed again much more slowly and put on some sweats, hoodie, and comfy socks then headed down the stairs. Mom was in the kitchen with her purse over her shoulder stirring a spoon in a cup.

"Just in time." she smiled. "If you get hungry try and eat something light, I'll pick some things up from the store to make my homemade chicken noodle soup."

Mmmmm. That soup is fucking amazing.

"Thanks mom." I replied as she walked up to me and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Get some rest sweetie and please call either your father or I if you need anything. I'll let him know you're not feeling well then I'll call the school and let them know."

We walked to the door, said goodbye and I shut it after mom walked out. Throwing the hood over my head I walked back into the kitchen, grabbed my tea, and sat down on the couch. Taking a couple sips I smiled happily, I can already feel my nose clearing up from the steam. I placed my phone on the arm of it then turned on the tv, I didn't get very far in flipping before my phone went off. Assuming it was mom I was slow to reach for it.

"Hey mom, did you forget something?" I answered without looking at it.

"Mom? I hope not, that would just make things really uncomfortable." a sweet voice hit my ears and my eyes widened.

Holy Fuck.

My body jerked at her sweet laugh from her joke and I spilled tea on my shirt and felt the heat burn my stomach.

"Shit." I cursed then stood up quickly as I dropped my phone, placed the tea down then wiggled out of my sweatshirt throwing it back on the couch.

Her faint voice called my name as I fumbled to pick up my phone and bring it back to my ear.

"Hey!" I said stupidly.

"What happened? Is everything okay?"

I frowned and looked down at my stomach that a red a mark slowly appearing.

"Yea, I just spilled my tea on myself and I dropped my phone while I took off my sweatshirt. Sorry about that"

Her breath became labored and I thought I heard her hit something.

"Ouch" she whispered to herself. "You took off your sweatshirt?" Regina asked, I assume turning her attention back to me.

Out of all that, that's the only thing she heard?

"Um, yea." I replied.

She laughed but it wasn't her normal confident one. It seemed off.

"Wow, you're right. I do have incredible timing." her tone was breathy and she sounded nervous. "Maybe we should change the subject." Regina suddenly added.

It clicked and I laughed softly. She's turned on. By just the thought of me taking off my sweatshirt. Fucking score.

"Is it too early in the morning for you to be getting all hot and bothered?"

Hot and bothered, I think I need to find a class on how to flirt with a woman.

"Well when my hunger isn't satiated then yes." she said lowly and I fucking crumbled. She can go from flustered back to confident in point two seconds.

"Your-" cough "Hunger?"

Regina chuckled lowly and it almost came out like a growl. Where is this coming from? I mean yea we joke about it but she's never said it like that. Is she reaching a limit too?

Letting her sexual drive take over?

"Somehow I don't think I have to explain myself." and the teasing was giving me conflicting feelings. Like I should be feeling like shit because I'm sick but now I'm horny, and being sick and horny just doesn't seem to go together. "I just wanted to call you and say that I hope you feel better, class won't be the same without you."

Blushing I sat back down on the couch and wrapped a blanket around me.

"Yea, I'll miss you too." I said cheesing hard because I knew she had a huge smile on her face right now.

"Take care of yourself okay?"

She was smiling. I can hear it in her voice.

"I will, thanks Regina."

"No problem Emma, be well."

And then she hung up. I walked back upstairs to change and put on a zip up hoodie nixing the bra because who wears bra and underwear when they feel like ass. All I want is skin on smooth cotton without any undergarments in the fucking way. Trudging back downstairs, I hopped on the couch and wrapped myself up like a burrito as I felt the sleep gently call my body, lulling me off.


The sound of the doorbell ringing brought me out of my nap and I groaned. Come on, I was having the best fucking dream ever. Regina and I were in her house eating dinner and then she asked if I was ready for dessert. After she proceeded to rip off her clothes and pounce on me, which is something she would never do but that's why they call it a dream right?

Unraveling myself out of the blanket I headed for the door as best as I could with my eyes still foggy.

"Who is it?" I called.

"The Tooth Fairy." came a joking voice.

I paused in my tracks suddenly being woken up as if cold water had been splashed on my face.

What.

No.

She couldn't-

She wouldn't-

Wiping my eyes, I then fixed my hair with my fingers and straightened out my comfy clothes. Opening the door I saw Regina standing there in black slacks, a beige silk shirt v neck long sleeve blouse and beige colored heels. Her purse was over one shoulder and there was glass container that looked like...soup? And here I am, looking like a fucking trash bag but because she's got the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met she smiled at me almost looking relieved.

"Hey." she said softly then her eyes glanced down to my cock.

Um? Casually I dropped my head and saw I had a pretty nice size hard on from my dream. Ever since I met her the morning wood has been real. Well she already knows, might as well not try to hide it, so I lifted my head to meet her eyes and smirked. Her cheeks instantly became red and my smirk grew into a full smile acknowledging how cute she was in this moment. We didn't need to say anything because our bodies were having a silent conversation of there own.

"Can I come in?" Regina asked looking anywhere but me.

"Yes, please." I replied stepping to the side as she walked in and shut the door behind her then took a moment to check out her ass. "So what's up?" my voice sounded nervous as I swung my arms back and forth.

"You said if I wanted to come see you for lunch then you wouldn't hate it."

Oh, I was only half way serious. She walked into the kitchen as if she'd been here a thousand times then set the container on the dining room table.

"I think you just wanted to see me." I teased walking to the kitchen and leaning on the fridge as I watched her pop off the lid then look at the kitchen cabinets.

"Trust me, I don't think I need an excuse to see you." she said teasingly then furrowed her eyebrows. "Where are your small pots?"

"Pots?" I questioned and she nodded.

Opening one of the bottom cabinets I grabbed one out for her and she took from my hands then put some of the soup in there. Regina gracefully walked to the stove, turned it on, then placed the pot on the fire. I slipped on the counter close to the stove and watched as she looked in the drawers, found a ladel and stirred.

"You didn't just want to pop it in the microwave." I asked.

She chuckled and turned her head to face me.

"You don't microwave my soup." Regina teased.

In mock defense I put my hands up. Placing the ladle on top of piece of paper towel she ripped off, she took a couple steps over to me fitting herself in between my legs. With her hands she placed them on my legs and began to draw her fingers up to my hips then back down to my knees. Her brown eyes skimmed over me with concern, as if I had been in a fight and she was checking over my bruises.

"How are you feeling?"

I shrugged my shoulders trying to ignore the response my body wanted to give under her touch.

"I guess okay. When I woke up I had the worst headache I've ever had and I was congested. Mom made me some tea before she left and that helped, after that I passed out until you came in."

Smiling she lifted one of her hands to my face and even though she had been out in the cold her hands were still so warm.

"I'm glad you got some rest." Regina whispered.

The care in her eyes was clear. I don't think I've ever seen her this soft before. This protective and loving. I didn't want to comment on her behavior in fear that she would change it, to be honest I really liked her doing this for me.

"What?" she asked with a grin.

"What, what?" I teased back because clearly she can tell I'm thinking something.

Her pearly white teeth shined in my face as she gave me a big smile.

"Never mind, I already know." and as Regina softly spoke she tucked some hair behind my ear, running her finger along the shell of it on the way down.

Walking away from me she turned off the steaming pot of soup then looked through the upper cabinets until she found the bowls, getting two out.

"You sure you haven't been here before? You really seem to know your way around here." I asked.

"Every house is the same right? Bowls, cups and plates in the higher cabinets, pots and pan in the lower ones. Silverware in one of the drawers." she replied nonchalantly.

Delicately she placed the soup in the bowls then slid the spoons in. Gripping the edge, she picked them up and turned to face me.

"Lunch is served. Where should we eat? Couch or table?"

I pointed to the table as I slid off the counter and walked over to it. I pulled out two chairs earning an adorable smile as she set the bowls down and took the seat beside the head of the chair. The soup smelled fucking amazing. It was clear-ish broth, with cubed potatoes, kale and sausage.

"It's Caldo Verde." Regina said taking a sip off her spoon.

"It looks delicious." I replied taking a sip of my own and my mouth buzzed with flavor.

Holy shit, this is fucking amazing. I couldn't control myself as I took larger gulps almost scalding my throat but it was too good for me to care. Regina's light chuckle brought me back as my gaze caught how elegant she was, taking tiny sips, wiped her mouth with the napkin, while I'm over here eating like a fucking pig. Clearing my throat gently I sat up straight and did my best to copy her.

"Will you have to leave after this?" I asked, it's hard as fuck not to shovel this in my mouth right now.

"Trying to get rid me already eh?" she teased as her eyes glanced over my stiff body. She smiled and gently crinkled her nose. "Relax."

Immediately my shoulders dropped on command and went back to my shitty posture feeling relieved.

"Thanks, I feel awkward eating next to you. Since you do everything basically flawlessly."

Reaching her hand over to grip my forearm she smiled, gently squeezing around me.

"I'm far from flawless and I wouldn't want you to be anything but yourself."

The corner of my mouth curled up and she winked at me.

"Now back to your question." she replied sitting up, removing her hand from my forearm. "Lucky for you, I don't have to leave right away. For 5th period they are holding an assembly to introduce Vice Principle Page."

Well, this is progress. No sudden anger at the sound of her name. It might have something to do with the fact that Regina bailed on that woman's orientation and is instead here.

"Are you telling me you ditched to come see me?" I asked as playful smirk graced my lips.

"No, I don't technically have a 5th period, the students go straight to the auditorium and I'm not required to attend this assembly." Standing up Regina grasped my now empty bowl and smirked. "But if you would like to hear it then, yes Emma I ditched to come see you." She replied with a teasing tone as she headed to the sink leaving me buzzing with arousal.

I needed to take a breather, it's only been 3 days since she requested we be friends and I'm already fucking breaking. I knew I wouldn't be able to last.

"So what do you want to do for the next 90 minutes?" asked Regina after she placed the bowls in the sink then turned around, put her palms on the counter which spread the v cut in her shirt showing me a hint of her lace bra underneath.

I sucked in a sharp breath as I started at her cleavage.

"You know you're driving me crazy right?" I asked.

The sound of her heels clicked towards me and my heart picked up it's pace but I couldn't take my eyes off her chest.

"Yes. Does it make you feel better that you drive me crazy too?" her voice whispered above me.

Don't look into her eyes. It's fucking trap.

Slowly I stood up and slid past her making sure to keep my gaze down.

"How about we watch something?" I choked out, scurrying off to the couch.

Flipping on the television, I found one my favorite movies. Hot Tub Time Machine. It's stupid but it still makes me laugh and it just started. Maybe some comedy will break this tension. I heard Regina chuckle as she walked around me and sat down on the couch. I threw the blanket on the back and sat down on the opposite side from her.

She turned her head to face me but I kept my eyes on the movie. Slowly I saw her lift herself up and scoot over to sit in the middle, keeping enough distance but she obviously wanted to be closer. I didn't mind being next to her, I just didn't want to do anything stupid, it seems my hormones are way more out of control when my immune system is shot. My defense are down, not that they were great in the first place but I feel extremely exposed right now. My body's response is heightened to her and my self control feels limited.

"You afraid to sit next to me?" her voice floated to my ears.

"No, I just don't want to get you sick." I lied.

Scoffing lightly she patted the space between us, my mind was telling me no but my body didn't give a fuck as I scooted closer to her. She wrapped her arm around my shoulders, pulling me down and before I knew it my legs were curling up on the couch as my head laid on top of her lap. I felt the blanket wrap around me as she fitted it over my body snuggling me into a pool of warmth. Dipping one of her hands underneath the blanket she began to draw small patterns on the side of my arm and I sighed relaxing my body into hers.

This is nice. I could lay like this forever.

We laughed together at certain parts before she started asking me questions.

"What's the Great White Buffalo?" Regina whispered.

I turned my head to look up at her and laughed softly.

"I don't know. We don't find out. Have you never seen this movie before?"

Her eyes stayed on the screen watching intently.

"No, never really had a desire."

"Well what do you think so far?" I asked turning my head back to the movie.

"So far it's got my interest."

We continued watching, well she was, I was slowly drifting off to sleep with the light traces she running over my arm. My eyes fluttered closed but soon I felt a poke to my side and yelped. Glaring up at Regina she responded with a smile.

"Nope, you just had nap and I don't get to spend much time with you today." she teased.

I pouted and turned back to the movie.

"It's tough when you're using your magic fingers to put me to sleep."

"Do you want me stop?" and she was already pulling her hand from under the blanket.

"No!" I pleaded then cleared my throat. "It feels nice."

"Well make up your mind." she joked.

I sighed as she resumed her addicting and hypnotizing skills, only this time she was much lower. On the side of my hip her fingers danced over my sweats and without warning she swiftly reached under my sweatshirt as her fingers played on my skin. Goosebumps rose giving her the courage to spread across my whole stomach. With a barely there touch her fingers glided just above the hem of my sweats then back just above my belly button, up the side of my rib cage then back down to my hip.

This rotation was driving me crazy and each time Regina would ever so lightly lift my sweatshirt higher and higher until it was sitting just under my breasts. My heart was beating wildly and I had to fight to keep my breath in control. Then she changed her pattern, zig zagging over every inch of my exposed skin then tracing along my low back, sometimes accidentally slipping her fingers under the band of my sweats causing my cock to twitch from the newly reached territory. I was as hard as a rock from her and she's over here laughing at the movie like her fingers are not playing my body like a fucking harp.

I needed to even the playing field. Slowly I moved my hand to grip the inside of her leg and felt her body jerk. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her head drop to me and I smirked. Yea I can act all ever so too. She was stiff at first however when I started drawing circles on her legs she relaxed.

To my surprise Regina even opened her legs a little to give me more access and my mind ran with the possibilities of what she's thinking right now. I could cum from the thought and we weren't even really doing anything. Just this teasing game that had unintentionally started.

Universe, why am I a fucking disaster.

Her laugh echoed in my ear bringing me from my thoughts.

"When is this dude going to lose his arm? Every time I keep thinking he is, he doesn't." she said sounding frustrated but also curious.

I chuckled lightly as I drifted higher until I couldn't reach any further in this awkward position, but not without some luck. My fingers twitched at the warmth coming from her center and when I took a deep breath the sweet smell of her liquid arousal filled my nose. Groaning I bit my lip and my cock jerked aggressively in my sweats. Regina's fingers faltered over my skin from my string of reactions, she shifted under my head casually opening her legs wider, gently wafting bringing her smell to my nose again.

Not sure what to do. Is she inviting me in or just teasing me? Probably just teasing me, maybe this is her way of showing me how much she wants me without actually saying it. It seems hard for her to verbalize things like that.

I kept my eyes on the screen finally getting into the movie again, every now and then drifting my hands up and down. Regina got more adventorous too as she traced a few inches under my breast, slowly down my stomach then delicate fingers slipped under my sweats tracing the upper crease in my hip. My muscles twitched under her touch as she stayed there unlike before where she would only dip under for a second then leave. My stomach coiled and already I felt the pre cum slipping out my tip. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Staring blankly at the movie I stretched my legs so they hung off the couch giving her more access. How badly I wanted her hand to continue south. I knew she wouldn't without even kissing me but this relentless teasing is making it hard for me to take it slow. Her fingers drummed on my hip bone and I gasped.

"Regina..." my voice was ragged. I was hoping to make it sound like a warning instead it came out as if I was moaning her name. Her nails dug into my skin causing my stomach to flop, my throat to constrict, and that familiar heat to rise in my belly. "Regina please..." I whispered.

My eyes drifted shut and my body shivered. She was sending me through so many sexual charged emotions that I have never felt before.

"Please what?" she asked in that dark tone whenever she felt as turned on as I was.

Please what? Good question. I want you to continue...no stop...no, continue-shit. We should stop, we should definitely stop while I have sort of rationality left. I removed my hand from her leg and I placed it on top of her hand freezing her movements on my hip.

"It's not that I want you to stop, I just don't know how much longer I could last before I do something stupid."

"You wouldn't do anything I wouldn't want you to do."

Wait...what…

I sat up letting her hand fall off my side and looked at her. Fuck the movie…

"What did you just say?"

Her eyes were heavy with lust and dark iris's swam with a battle deep within. She's trying to decide between what's right and what she wants.

"Never mind." she said gently shaking her head. "I should probably head back."

What's right won.

Regina was off the couch so fast it seemed everything happened in a blur. I scrambled to catch up with as she moved to grab her purse then to the front door.

"What about the rest of the soup?" I asked behind her trying to give her a reason to turn around and look at me.

"Keep it." she replied as her hand reached for the door knob.

"Regina." I pleaded again in the most helpless voice I could, no she's not running from me.

She froze but kept her hand on the knob. Reacting quickly because I knew I only had a few seconds before she decided to leave. I placed a hand on her shoulder and the other on the hand resting on the door.

What now?

I've never been in the situation of having to chase somebody like this before, so I took a deep breath and let instinct take over. Slowly I turned her around, when her eyes met mine she had her mask, the great wall of fucking china, and steel gates built up around her emotions.

My hand reached up to cup her cheek and watched closely as she melted under my fingers. Going from closed off Regina back to open and some what powerless in this moment. I took a step forward making sure to keep an eye out for any signs of rebellion but none came.

Another step forward from me and sock covered toes were pressed her against the tip of her heels as I prayed to Everything that nothing would ruin this. I felt like I was living in an outer body experience, watching myself when I licked my lips, my blue locked with her brown and I stood up on my toes, leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

Every single cell in my body came alive as electric pulses coursed through me. My lips felt numb from the absolute bliss I was feeling from a simple kiss. Her mouth was so soft, but then I noticed her lips were tight…

Um...uh oh…

Getting the hint I began to pull back before her hand flew around the back of my neck crashing us against each other once more. Even though we slammed against each other it was still just tender and light, both of us pushing down the raw and carnal sexual tension that had been building up over 2 and half to 3 weeks, which in retrospect is really not that long.

But I'm realizing our bodies are magnets to one other.

Her other hand slid from behind my neck to my cheek as her other hand cupped the other side. She spun me around, still embraced in a kiss and pushed me up against the door softly. We broke for enough air before I initiated another one pulling her mouth back to mine. My tongue snaked out and gently swiped over her bottom lip and she moaned into me, her vibrations going straight to my cock.

I tore my mouth away from hers as I forced in a ragged breath to my burning lungs. Regina wasted no time connecting her lips to my jawline, nipping gently at the top of my neck, then bring her lips to my ear as she traced the shell with tip of her tongue and her teeth came down, delicately pulling and tugging on it. A deep moan erupted from my chest as my fingers from hand dug into her hair and the other clawing at the silk on her back.

She seemed to be encouraged by this she as flicked her tongue over my earlobe making her way back down my neck.

"Fuck Regina..." I cursed in ecstasy.

Suddenly her motions stilled against me.

My breathless pants filled the entry way and my body tingled with arousal.

"Why'd you stop?" I pressed, not sounding like I'm whining, more like shit was getting great so what the fuck.

As if she'd been caught in a daze Regina pushed herself away from me keeping her eyes squeezed shut. Her teeth came down over her bottom lip as she tried to control her shallow breath. There were so many feelings coming off of her I didn't know where to start. She seemed angry, horny, annoyed, relieved, remorse...a few other's I couldn't place too.

"I need to leave." she finally said, her voice had that sort of authoritative tone she came in with on the first day of class.

Eh, don't really like the sound of that.

"Regina let's-"

"Emma, please move." she whispered sounding defeated.

I've never heard her sound that way before. I don't like it.

It sounds like goodbye.

Not just goodbye for now, but goodbye goodbye.

I didn't want to make her any uncomfortable so I stepped to the side letting her walk past me. Regina hurried out the house with her things not bothering to look at me as she got in her car and sped off. Slamming the door the shut, I propped my back against it and slid down until I was on the floor.

"You just had to fucking kiss her." I said out loud. "Couldn't control you're hormones for a fucking hour."

I'm stupid.

So fucking stupid.

I got up off and with heavy steps I walked to my phone. Skimming to the group chat with my friends I stared at the empty box with the blinking horizontal line waiting for me to type out a message. If I go to school tomorrow I wouldn't be able to hide the roller coaster of emotions tumbling inside of me.

I can't. Regina's got me all wrapped up and shit.

They'd find out sooner or later.

My vote was sooner.

So my fingers went over the keyboard as I typed out:

I fucked up, Ruby come by after practice, the rest of you come by after school. We need to talk.

Probably not what everyone was hoping for but fingers crossed you all enjoyed it the same!

I hope you don't ever get tired of reading me write this: THANKS FOR THE LOVE. 3 3 3

Til next time...
