"Miss Swan! Where do you think you're going?"
She said as Emma try to exit her classroom because really my head is throbbing, Emma is sweating cold, she's light headed, her body is aching and she can see black spots trying to block the light that she can see.
Emma raised my hands not looking at her.
"How dare yo--"
'Really? I'm trying to send myself to the infirmary to cause less trouble, woman! '
"Just not right now, Mills. I--" Emma said as she dropped to my knees.
'Shit'
The whole class gasped.
"Emma!" Ms. Milla said as she ran towards Emma and helped her to stand up.
"Let me go. Do your job and teach them." Emma said as she try to straighten her posture
"Ms. Swan for your information, one of my job is to keep my students from--"
"Quit the blabbering... You're...m-making it wors--" Emma said as she clutched her stomach.
"Fuck." The blonde muttered.
"Let me help." She said
"N-no." Then again her stomach kicked in.
"Fuck."
"Don't crowd us. Give us space!" She yelled, Emma hissed because the brunette just yelled to her ear.
"Professor, I called the nurse and security to-"
The blonde didn't heard the next words of one of her classmates as the Black spots won.
When Emma woke up the first thing that she felt is her throbbing head.
"Fucking shit." She muttered as she touched her head and felt something attached to her hand.
"What the..?"
"Ah...Good thing that you're awake now. You're in hospital, Ms.Swan. How do you feel?" The man wearing a white robe said.
"My head. Throbbing." Emma said, the doctor hummed and whispered something to the nurse beside him.
The nurse came to me and put some liquid thingy to Emma's IV.
"I'll call Miss Mills." The doctors said
Emma ignored him as her head started to ease.
"Thanks." The blonde said and nurse nodded.
"It's my job Ms. Swan." She said with red lips.
"Emma. Call me Emma" The nurse just nodded at her
"You know my name I think It's unfair that I don't know yours?"
"Ruby. But they call me Red, because of..well." she said as she stood beside Emma's bed leaned in and pointed to her red lips then they heard fake cough from the doorway.
"I think it's time for you to go, Miss Lucas." Mills said, trying to be stern.
"Why? Jealous Mills?" Ruby replied and winked at the blonde and exited the room.
Emma closed her eyes and heard Regina Mills's heels coming towards her.
"Miss Swan, how are you feeling?" She started as she stood beside the blonde.
"Eh, Red handled the situation. I'm fine now."
"Red huh? She must really like you." She said
Emma opened my eyes and saw Regina's jaw clenching.
"Why? Jealous Mills?" Copying Red's words.
"More like choking you for what you did. What the hell Emma? You should've just told me that you're not feeling well! No wonder why you're grunting and hissing while I'm teaching." She said as she closed her eyes.
"I should've known! I keep on shrugging that hissing and grunting! I'm even trying not look at you! Fucking stupid!" She said and Emma's eyes widened.
'Wow... Professor Mills said the f word and blaming herself at that.'
"Woah, Mills. Calm down, it's not your fault. I bet it's over fatigue?" She looked at Emma with curious eyes and nodded.
"I've been working my ass off, doing double shifts at Granny's whenever I have my day offs at school at weekdays, and when I have school I would work at night till 11 pm then go back to school at 7:30-ish in the morning, when it's weekends I would start at 7 in the morning and I would work overtime up until 12 am. See, don't blame yourself." Emma explaned and she just stared at the Blonde with open mouth.
"And what do you think I should tell you, huh? Hey Professor-goody-ass, I'm in pain can I go now?" Emma said mockingly
"Yes! You should've! Damn it, Emma." she said as she hissed and closed her eyes
Emma just laughed at her Professor.
"What's so funny?" She asked as she opened her eyes and looked at the blonde as if she have grown three heads.
"It's just...this is the first time you called me Emma...I mean thrice. One, an hour ago at school. Two, when your scolding at me like I'm your girlfriend and now." Emma explaned and laughed again
"It's good to be called Emma by you because the Miss Swan thingy make me very anxious, made me feel like I'm in trouble." Emma continued.
"Well... we've been in each other's throats the first time we met. Using the last name basis hepls me to gain respect and well... it's good to see people squirming because they're intimidated. " She said.
'Wow, she's opening up. To me!'
"Intimidating? Let's say I was but Ha! I never squirmed!"
"That's the reason, you never did! It irritates me, really. You're the only person that fights back, not even the dean fights back. That's quite weird, actually. I've never met a person who fights me back, I actually enjoyed our arguing and bantering specially when it comes to class and proving your point." She confessed.
'what the fuck?!'
"Really? Well if you're enjoying then I should do that more often, then."
"Yes, Ms.Swan. Really..." she said again from smiling to intimidating face.
"You're doing it again." Emma said as she smirked.
Silence. That's what I heard between us as a good two minutes have passed. She's just staring at the beeping monitor.
"I can hear you thinking."
She whipped her head back to Emma.
She sighed. "I'm just wondering, why?"
"Huh?"
"Why are you doing that? Working your ass off? As you quote it."
"Oh, you see...I'm in depth. Gotta have to pay for my rent and I'm planning on buying a bug. The one that I fancy in August's Garage. Know him? That yellow bug. I like that one. And he said that he'll sell it to me low price so..."
"That yellow death trap?" She said as she chuckled.
"Hey! August made me test drived it and I fell inlove with it." Emma retorted
"Fine." She huffed and smiled
"Then? If you finally bought that death trap, what's your plan?" She asked curiously
"It's none of your business, Mills." Emma sing-song
"I know...I'm sorry, I'm just curious." She said looking away.
'Ugh, does she have to be so cute? What? Cute? What?!'
"Just kidding...Once I have my car, I'm planning on getting out of my roommate's hair. Saves me money besides she doesn't really like me and she keeps on discussing that her Boyfriend is soon moving in." Emma huffed at the thought.
"Oh Emma..." She started
"Stop it. I'm grown ass woman, I can handle myself."
"Yeah sure." She said mockingly and looking at Emma lying to an hospital bed.
"Just one more week and I'll have my car maybe two for the Hospital bills." I said
"It's already paid."
'huh?'
"Don't tell me you did?" Emma asked
She sat there silently.
I groaned. "Don't worry, I'll pay you. Can you wait though? Maybe in 2 weeks?"
"What? No-"
"Look, I don't need pity. I don't like it. So whether you like it or not, I'll pay for it." Emma said and winced.
Regina knows that she won't win this so even if she's hesitating she just nodded.
"How long do I have to be here?" Emma asked Regina
"Maybe an hour or so? I'm not sure, Doctor Whale said they have to run some tests to make sure that there's nothing serious going on." She explained
"Look...you know you can pay me in other ways, right?" She continued
"Huh? How so, by being your sex slave? I knew you have it in you." Emma said, winked and smiled goofily
"Miss Swan, may I remind you that I am still your Professor?" She asked and raised her perfect brow
'Miss Swan, huh?'
I smirked at her.
"Oh, may I also remind you that you told me a few minutes ago that you're only using the last name basis to intimidate people and using the Professor card, really?" Regina just rolled her eyes at Emma and stood up.
Regina's blushing face and neck turning red is quite obvious.
"Fine, how can I pay you?" I asked
"No. Nevermind it's stupid." She said still her back on Emma.
"What? No. No, tell me. How?"
When she Didn't answer, I groaned fakingly.
"Oh fucking hell!" Emma yelped and put her left hand to her head.
Regina turned around and look at Emma with worry and approached her quickly almost tripping.
The brunette removed Emma's hand from her head
"What? What's the matter? Does your head hurt? Does your--" she stopped as she saw the blonde smirking.
She blushed "Fuck you!" She shouted.
"I'm sorry! I just want to grab your attention" and I grabbed her hand.
"What is it? Nothing you say is stupid." The irritating blonde continued as the stern woman blushed and tried to tear away her eyes away from Emma.
"Yeah?" Emma said again trying to grabbed her attention again and Regina just huffed.
"I...I was wondering if you could goinadinnerwithmeatmyhouse. "
"Wait? What? Slower."
"Dinner with me? At my house? Just so you know...you can pay the bills by not giving me money. Don't you dare think that I'm inviting you because I like you or anything because you're still my student and that would be so inappropriate and I would nev-"
"I'll come." I quit her blabbering
"Just you know, email me or text me or slip a note to my essays to send me the details." I suggested and shrugged my shoulders
"Really? Slip a note to your--... I'll text you the details." She blushed
"But don't you dare think that I like you and I-" she continued
Emma kissed her hand and looked at her. Regina stood there wide eyes blushing she coughed and retrieve her hand.
Kissing a teacher is insufferably bad Oh, so bad but it's just her hands right? Not her lips.
Then the Professor's phone started ringing. She walked away to grab her phone from her bag and answered it.
"Hi honey!"
'huh? Honey?' Emma thought
"I'm sorry, my love. I'm in hospital right now." She continued and looked at the blonde
"Yes, Henry. I'm fine, don't worry about me."
'Fuck! She has a boyfriend! You're fucked Swan! What? How am I fucked? I don't even like her! You just kissed her hand, idiot!' Emma thought cursing herself.
Emma groaned and suddenly her head started throbbing again.
"Fuck." She whispered to herself and winced.
"Look honey, I have to go. I'll be there in an hour, Kay? Love you too." Regina said and hunged up.
"What happened?" She asked and Emma opened her eyes only to find her Professor beside her again.
"Head. Hurts." Emma said whilst wincing and her companion called for Doctor Whale.
"It'll be fine, Emma." She cooed
Doctor Whale entered the room together with Ruby.
"Tell me, Emma. Have you eaten?" Doctor Whale asked and Emma nodded yes.
"When was the last time?" He sighed and asked again
'fuck. When was the last time?'
"Don't know. "
"That explains it. Ruby? Would you mind getting Emma something to eat from the canteen?" He said the Ruby banished.
"Over fatigue and lack of eating, that's the only results we got from the tests. Once you're done eating you'll be discharged." He said, removed my IV and talked to Regina.
Regina tried to ignore her throbbing head as much as she can.
Then Ruby finally came in and she's about to give Emma her meal but Regina stopped her and said she'll be feeding the blonde.
Ruby smirked as she handed her the tray and exited the room together with the doctor.
"I'm not Invalid you know?" Emma states but winced.
'Even talking Hurts now.'
"Yeah sure. That explains the wincing." she said
She scooped a soup and blew it and gently put the spoonful of soup to Emma's mouth and handed her the bread.
After 15 minutes of eating her Professor said she'll have to leave in a minute to buy the meds before 'they' go.
The throbbing in her head magically disappeared. Emma stood up and put her red jacket on.
When she came back she insisted on driving back to Emma's apartment.
"You don't have to do this you know. I heard you, your boyfriend is waiting for you. Don't wanna cause anymore trouble." Emma said as they're walking at the parking lot.
"Boyfriend? Henry? No, no. He's my son, the love of my life and...There's my car." She said as she pointed to her car.
She clicked the remote and the doors unlocked.
"Oh I thought he was your Boyfriend." Emma said as she opened the car door and sat in the brunette's leather car seat.
Emma watched her as Regina put her bag behind.
She started the engine and looked at the blonde before hitting the road.
"Why? You jealous, Swan?" She smirked
"Ha! Very funny!" Emma said and Regina drove off.
Emma instructed her where to go. When they reached her apartment she started talking again.
"I'll email you my number, Swan." She said and the blonde looked at her before opening the door.
"Right. Thank you so much, Mills. I really appreciated it." Green eyes connected to Brown Eyes.
"Thank you so much, Regina." Emma said and leaned in and kissed her Professor's cheek.
"I'll wait for the email." Emma said as she exited her car and waved bye to her and she drove off.
'Kissing her cheek, huh? Now that's bad.' she thought.
