I lightly knocked on the door. This is the fifth day in a row that I've been here. Mary Margaret was my only friend at the school, well until she had quit her job to help with her homeschooled daughter. I've never had the chance to actually meet her daughter, Emma, but I have heard a lot about her. And from what I've heard she seems like a pretty good kid to me.

The door swung open and I was immediately pulled into a hug by a very energetic Mary Margaret, which was nothing really new, she was always this way.

"Regina, Hey!" She let go, smiling, while I had given a weak smile back to her.

"What's wrong?" Mary asked.

"Nothing it's just work isn't the same without you there" I sighed, pulling her back into a hug. "You were my only friend at that place and now there's no one to laugh with at lunch over stupid things" she pulled out of the hug with a small smile.

"Well, that's why I have you over now, on the daily. So, we could change those lunch laughs into dinner laughs" she chuckled. "Come on in, and take a seat" she moved her hand giving my direction to come in.

She always knew how to make me smile, which is one big reason why I had missed this woman. This year just isn't the same and well I wish it was, but things change and I guess sometimes change is good, or maybe it isn't.

"Hey Mom" my head followed my eyes to the stairs to be met with a blonde coming down the steps looking at a piece of paper. "Could you possibly help me with this ma-" the girl stopped and looked up at me. "Oh, I didn't know you had company over, I'll just wait" she smiled at me before she had started to head back upstairs.

"Could I just go help her real quick?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Of course" I nodded. Somehow I'd keep myself occupied until she had returned.

Mary Margaret went upstairs and I just started thinking to myself. Thinking to myself about Emma. I only got a glance of her, but she was beautiful. Regina stop, you have to remember she's way younger than you are, and you could never date your best friends daughter, ever.

Everything about her kept my thoughts on the move. From her hair to her eyes, to her body, to her bubbly personality. She seemed perfect.

Footsteps from the steps behind me, brought me out of my thoughts.

"Okay, sorry that took longer than I thought it would've took" she laughed.

"No worries" I shrugged. I couldn't get my mind of Emma. It's like no matter how hard I tried she continued to keep coming back to my mind. Or maybe it was mind that wouldn't let go of her.

"Are you okay?" I heard a voice ask, knowing it was Mary's. She was once again bringing me out of my thoughts. I nodded with a smile. I was fine, it's just like I said though, I couldn't get her off my mind.

"So, Regina.." Mary started off. "Are the kids any better this year?" She asked, sipping her tea.

I nodded my head from side to side. "They're actually worse, and I think they're just getting worse by the second" we both laughed.

"This one kid, well I don't even know how to describe him. He's just bad" I chuckled. Which resulted a small laugh in her too.

As Mary and I were talking we were interrupted by footsteps coming down the steps, once again. I turned around with a blank face that immediately went to a smile.

"Hey Emma, everything good?" Mary asked. "Just getting a glass of water" she nodded.

"Wait, Emma. I would like for you to meet Regina" Mary Margaret smiled. As did Emma.

She walked over to me, while I was holding my hand out. "I'm more of a hugging type of person" She smiled.

She then pulled me into a hug. This hug felt magical, even her touch gave me such a warm place to feel at home.

Eventually, she had pulled out of the hug to talk to me.

"I'm Emma, obviously. And I'm guessing you're Regina. The woman my mom doesn't stop talking about" she laughed. "Because you're like her only friend" she then whispered, which made me smile.

"I'm going to go back upstairs, if that's alright it was nice meeting you Regina" she smiled. That smile was brighter than anything. Her smile was beautiful and so was she.

"Are you staying for dinner?" A voice asked. I turned my head to see it was Mary's. I quickly nodded. I wasn't staying for dinner for her though. I was staying for Emma. I wanted to know her more.

"Where's your bathroom?" I asked, not really needing to go. "Well, there's one upstairs and down here. Use either" she smiled.

I walked up the steps, only to be met with some music. Soft music, it was so calming. I peaked through the door to see a naked Emma. I guess she was getting dressed and ready for bed since it was getting late, but damn did her body look nice.

I pulled up my phone and took about four or five pictures of her body. I was in love, with a seventeen year old. A very hot seventeen year old.

"Dinner's Ready!" Mary called up. I put my phone back in my pocket and started heading back downstairs.

"Okay, I'm coming!" I heard her yell as I headed down the steps. And just moments later I saw her come down the steps too.

"What are we having?" She asked. Her voice was so calming. Even when she was asking the most simplest questions.

"Roast Beef" Mary smiled, turning to her daughter. Emma had just nodded back.

I wish it was okay to be with her. I wish it was okay to kiss her. I wish it was okay to just do anything with her. Even, just hold hands. I just really wish.
