Ella pushed the button to the 24th floor where her father's office was, she'd never been there because she always thought that his whole company building was a bore. She stood there humming to the boring elevator music, finally the doors opened. She walked up to a desk with a blonde woman who by the looks of it didn't seem pleasant.
"Hello." Ella said smiling, the secretary looked her up and down cringing her face
"Can I help you?" she asked in an irritating voice
"Yes, I'm here to see Mr. Locksley." Ella said
"And do you have an appointment Miss?" she asked taking off her glasses
"Yes I do, I just talked to him on the phone and-"
"I'm sorry he hasn't informed me of this, therefore you don't have an appointment."
"But I'm his-"
"Please, don't make me call security."
"What are you serious, I'm Elizabeth his-"
"Security!" the blonde said, two large men came from a side door and carried Ella to the elevator and threw her in
"Well fuck you guys." Ella said, she couldn't believe she just got thrown out of her father's office, she hated that blonde woman and she knew exactly how she'd get revenge on her, she whipped out her phone and texted her father
Change of plans, come up stairs. I'll be waiting in the kitchen, you have ten minutes, I need to be somewhere.-Grace
Okay, I'll be there in two minutes. –Dad
She paced the living room for a while, she felt her cheeks burning up, she was incredibly embarrassed but more ticked off then anything. Finally the front door opened and Robin came in with his usual slick black suit and green tie.
"Grace." He sighed walking towards her and hugging her, he kissed her forehead
"Hi daddy." She said smiling
"Well, I'm glad you're alright. Where did you run off to?"
"That's not important right now." She said taking off her jacket, leaving her in her short white tee
"The important thing is I just got kicked out of your office."
"What?" Robin said
"Yeah, whoever that blonde woman is she is a huge jerk." Ella said
"Well no one really knows who you are, Ella."
"But I have your blue eyes, it isn't that hard to figure it out."
"You asked me to keep your identity a secret, so no staff knows about you."
"I know, but she could have handled it a different way, but no she went out of her way to be a huge shitty meany face to your little princess." Ella said giving her father the saddest puppy dog eyes she could ever express
"I see. Well I will act accordingly with that one."
"Is she fired?" Ella asked with a smirk on her face
"Perhaps." Robin chuckled
"I know exactly who can replace her!"
"And that is?"
"There is this receptionist on floor five that I'm sure you will love."
"And why is that?" Robin asked, eyeing his daughter curiously
"Well she has beautiful black hair, and you and I both know you love them dark haired woman." Ella said giggling, Robin smiled
"Okay, but is she qualified?" Robin asked
"Of course she is, she is perfect! You really should promote her to your secretary, you won't regret it I promise!" Ella said standing up, Robin shook his head, then looked at the black ink on her forearm
"Is that a tattoo!" he yelled
"Oh, yah. Anyways I have to go daddy, I love you! Don't worry about Roland I'll pick him up." she said kissing his forehead and running out the door
"What's her name?" he yelled after her
"Regina Mills!" Ella yelled before the elevator doors shut again, she smirked, this was going to be a good day for Regina.
"You want to grab some lunch Regina?" MM asked
"Oh no, I'm waiting for my niece still." Regina said looking up from her small desk
"Okay, well I'm off. I'll see you later." MM said
"Have fun!" Regina said smiling, she tapped her fingers on the desk, where the hell could she have gone Regina thought to herself. Just then the elevator doors opened and in came Ella smiling.
"Where were you?" Regina asked
"Oh, right. I was with Jax, he came by just for a bit." Ella lied
"Okay and what did you guys do?" Regina asked
"Oh you know" Ella said lying across of Regina's desk, luckily there wasn't anything on it at the moment.
"Couple stuff. Making out, grabbing things, need I continue?" Ella asked closing her eyes and folding her hands to place under her head, Regina rolled her eyes and pinched her sides
"Hey!" Ella said laughing
They both giggled, until the elevator doors opened and in came the unpleasant blonde woman
"It's you again." Ella said rolling her eyes
"I thought I kicked you out." The blonde said staring at her
"Excuse me." Regina said cutting in "Can I help you?"
"Mr. Locksley would like to see you Miss Mills." The blonde said still glaring at Ella
"What for?" Ella asked with a smirk
"I was not informed." The blonde sneered "Why are you still here?"
"She is my niece and I would kindly ask that you refrain from glaring at her." Regina said with a fake smile, the blonde huffed and went up the elevator leaving Regina and Ella alone. Regina stood in front of Ella who was now spinning in a chair.
"What did she mean by I thought I kicked you out Ella." Regina said stopping Ella from spinning
"It's nothing, just forget about it. You wouldn't want Mr. mysterious boss man waiting Regina." Ella said standing up and heading into the elevator
"And why is that?" Regina asked stepping in with her
"His name is on the building, he kind of seems really important yah know." Ella said nudging Regina
"You're right, what do you think he wants?" Regina asked
"Oh, I have no idea." Ella lied "But if you just unbutton this shirt a bit more, I'm sure all is forgiven." Ella said as they reached Regina's destination, she slapped Regina's ass and pushed her out
"Good luck mama bird." Ella said smiling
"Is that our thing now, baby bird?" Regina asked smiling and shaking her head
"I needed to come up with something, Regina is so boring." Ella teased
"Oh right." Regina said crossing her arms
"Knock em dead! I'll be raiding the staff refrigerator with MM." Ella said pushing the elevator door
"Thanks." Regina said taking a deep breath, letting the button Ella loosened go, and turned around walking towards huge white double doors. She slowly knocked on the door, no one was in sight on floor twenty four.
"Come in." a voice said, Regina opened the door and walked in, taking in the amazing view, the windows were crystal clear, the little city never looked gorgeous as it was from up there, she gasped.
Robin looked up from his paperwork when he heard her gasp, he was struck by her beauty, it was almost intoxicating to him. She had short black hair that rested at her shoulders, her grey silk button up and a hint of cleavage made him shift and loosen his tie, and her soft curves were enchanting, he had to focus on breathing because this woman literally took his breath away. She cleared her throat and his eyes immediately flickered up to meet her mysterious dark eyes.
Oh my god, was he checking me out? Regina thought to herself, she looked at him and smiled, his blue eyes were so beautiful it kind of reminded her of Ella's.
"Mr. Locksley." Regina said, even her voice was pleasant Robin thought to himself
"Please Mr. Locksley was my father call me Robin, Miss. Mills." Robin said
"Okay, Robin." She said, he smiled, he loved the way she said his name, he shook his head, he needed to focus and stop admiring her
"Please sit Miss. Mills." He said ushering to the chairs in front of his desk, she walked with grace and sat down crossing her ankles
"Now what is it that you needed?" Regina asked, she was incredibly nervous, something about him made her heart skip a beat, she instantly noticed his dimples and melted in her mind
"It has come to my attention that some of my staff members haven't been all that well." He said
"Was it because I brought my niece to work? If she offended you in any way I apologize Robin." Regina said
"Oh not at all, I haven't had the pleasure to meet your niece, I'm sure she is a lovely girl. I called you up here because I've gotten a recommendation."
"Oh." Regina said "And who gave you this recommendation?"
"Let's keep that discreet but I'm offering you Miss. Mills a promotion."
"Really?" Regina asked, her eyes lit up
"Yes, how would you like to be my personal secretary?" he asked smiling, there was those dimples again that made Regina have butterflies
"That would be amazing sir, truly this is such an honor." She said smiling
"I'm glad to hear that, this will be an immediate position starting tomorrow. So you can have the rest of the day to yourself Miss. Mills." Robin said
"Please, call me Regina." Regina said
"Okay, Regina. Though I do have one task before you leave today." Robin said standing up from his seat, he walked around his desk and sat at the head of the table in front of Regina, she felt light-headed as his scent filled her nose, he smelled literally like forest. She noticed his muscles almost wishing to be free from his suit that confined them.
"What is that?" she said weakly, not at all how she wanted it to come out, Robin smirked
"I need you to email all the employees and inform them that the rumors are false, also the ball will be next week, two days before Christmas."
"I can do that." Regina said standing up, she smoothed her skirt, and went to shake his hand, he shook it
"I'll see you tomorrow at seven a.m. Regina."
"Of course, Robin." Regina said smiling, she turned her back to him knowing that he was totally staring at her ass, she swayed just a tad more and slowly made her way to the elevator, his eyes never leaving hers. She smiled, before the elevators closed. She must be an angel Robin thought to himself, she might be the one to finally mend his broken heart. That's a smile I wouldn't mind seeing every day he thought to himself.
"I owe that girl." Robin said, thinking about his little princess and mentally thanking her because she found a new woman to occupy his dreams
Ella sat on the hood of Regina's car, debating on if she should text or call Jax, she ended up calling him.
"Hey Leslie" Ella said into the phone
"Hey weird girlfriend of mine."
"I was wondering if you could take me to pick up Roland then hang out with Regina and her roommate for a bit, they really want to meet you."
"I wish I could babe, but I have this thing with the boys."
"You could just say no and not make up something." Ella said heavily sighing
"I'm not making this up, things just came up and I need to be there, you understand right babe?"
"Yah, I guess I'll just walk to pick up my little brother who idolizes you." She spat back
"Ella, please you're freaking out on me again. Just please-"
"No it's fine this isn't like the fourth time you cancelled with me anyways, I guess I'll just see you around."
"Ella-" he started to say but she hung up.
"Bullshit." Ella mumbled, he definitely wasn't hanging with the boys, Matt and Nate would have told her about it and invite her. She didn't want to jump to conclusions but maybe this time her gut was right.
"Is that my Ella bear?" a voice yelled from behind her, Ella instantly turned around to see a raven haired girl with bangs straight across and mysterious blue eyes heading her way, she had on bright red pants, a lacy top, killer knee high heel boots, and black leather gloves on with heavy black eyeliner.
"Kenzi!" Ella screamed and ran towards her, they hugged each other
"My god, it's been what, a few months since I've seen you!" Ella said
"Yah, Hale's band has agreed to stay here for a few months, you know take a break from tour and all." She said pulling out a cigarette and lighting it
"Well, I'm so glad, it's hard not having your best friend around ya know?" Ella said slinging her arm around her, they walked and stopped to sit on the steps
"You don't look good." Kenzi said taking a drag from her cigarette
"You could say that." Ella said pulling the cigarette from her best friend's mouth and putting it into hers
"That bad huh?" Kenzi asked
"Yah, stupid Jax is like avoiding me or something, he's been flacking out on me for a week!"
"You didn't hear then." Kenzi said clasping her hands together
"Heard what?" Ella asked
"Kelly's back in town babe." Kenzi said
"What the hell, what's she doing here?" Ella said standing to her feet and pacing
"I mean don't jump to conclusions babe, but I thought I'd let you know, as your best friend it's my duty to watch out for you because you're my little girl." Kenzi said standing up and hugging her
"We're the same age." Ella said laughing
"But technically I'm older than you still. And let's not forget more experienced" Kenzi said kissing her cheek
"Yah, yah, Kenz be honest with me." Ella said
"Always, what's up buttercup?"
"You don't think Jax and Kelly will screw around again. Right?"
"If he does, let's just say you won't be seeing his boys anytime soon. Plus this isn't high school, sure he was a senior and you were a freshmen and dumb Kelly was a hoe-bag. Kelly doesn't have control on him anymore."
"I was fifteen and he was a senior boy. Those high school days were something weren't they?"
"Yes, I vaguely remember Miss all American was your total BFF." Kenzie teased
"Shut up, those cheerleading days were torture to my now dark soul." Ella said
"That's my girl!"
"You're crazy Kenz."
"Shhh, don't let Hale hear you!" she whispered
"I don't see how that man fell in love with that." Ella said pointing to Kenzi
"What's not to love?" Kenzi said smiling "Anyways, the real question is what are you doing out here and not in your warm cozy penthouse?"
"Long story short, momzilla is back, and I just need to be away from home ya know?"
"Ah, momzilla. What does she want this time? Your money?"
"Like always."
"Well I hate to tell you this, but you're not doing a good job of running away, you are literally five feet from your door step."
"I know, I'm waiting for Regina."
"Regina, who is this Regina?" Kenzi asked
"A new friend, she's totally awesome, she's letting me crash at her pad with her pregnant roommate who is a killer fashion designer."
"Where do you meet these people?" Kenzi asked
"Spontaneous moments I guess."
"Mhmm, do I get to meet my best friend's sugar mama?" Ella laughed
"Of course, but she doesn't know I'm a Locksley, so keep in on the DL, please."
"Lying, I got this." Kenzi said laughing
Just as they were laughing Regina walked out, looking at a mysterious emo Goth looking girl talking to a homeless looking Ella, typical Regina thought to herself giggling
"Speaking of the devil, there she is." Ella said turning her attention to a smiling Regina "Mama Bird, this is my best mate Ms. Kenzi Syren."
"Pleasure to meet you Ms. Syren." Regina said shaking the girl's hand
"Polite one I see." Kenzi said smiling "Please call me Kenzi, it's nice to meet you Regina. Thank you for taking in my little homeless lover here." Kenzi said
"No problem." Regina said
"Anyhow, I must be going back to Hale's headquarters, you both should come tonight! We're having a little shindig at Angel's and King's."
"The new club, no way!" Ella said clearly ecstatic
"Yah, y'all get to hear this girl sang!" Kenzi said smiling
"Well that sounds exciting, perhaps we'll take you up on that offer." Regina said
"Good! See you both tonight! Ella, text me so I can pick you up to get little Ro Ro okay?"
"How'd you know?" Ella asked
"I'm your doppelgänger, I know everything little miss Ella. Any ways deuces peeps." Kenzi said walking down a little ways and hopping on her motorcycle
"Well she's something." Regina said making her way to the car, she unlocked it and they both climbed in
"She's my other half." Ella said buckling up "How'd the meeting go?"
"Oh, it was amazing, I got promoted to be his personal secretary!" Regina said
"Oh, now you truly are Miss naughty sexy secretary." Ella said winking
"Ella." Regina said
"Okay, okay. I can't wait to celebrate tonight then!" Ella said
"Yes, but I doubt you'll even get into the club its twenty one and up."
"I have my ways Regina, trust me." Ella said leaning back and placing her hands behind her head, she felt like a badass getting Regina promoted, and by the way Regina's cheeks were flushed she guaranteed that her father had fallen for her already. Everything seemed fine at the moment, she pushed the Jax situation in the back of her head and focused on the positive vibes going on right now.
"Do you smell cigarettes?" Regina asked
"Oh, yah. I stress smoke." Ella said sinking into her seat, Regina shook her head
"Of course you do."
