Regina shut the door and smiled, she ran her fingers across her lips, something about their kiss left tingles all over her body, he left her breathless and wanting more, things could have escalated tonight but she was fine with what had just happened.

"Are you smitten Miss Mills?" Tink asked, scaring her, she turned on the light

"What the hell are you doing sitting in the dark Tink!" Regina yelled, Tink laughed

"I wanted details and couldn't possibly wait till tomorrow." Tink said "Also I wanted to give you a little scare." She said, she had a tub of ice cream resting on her stomach and a big spoon. She patted the spot next to her on the bed. Regina shook her head and smiled, she removed her heels and sat next to Tink.

"So spill it missy."

"It was amazing, we went walking, got some ice cream and sat in this gorgeous park and talked a bit."

"That's it? No way that's it, you're still smitten, what really happened?" Tink asked placing the tub of ice cream to the side

"Well, we did kiss a few times."

"Regina!" Tink squealed, "You little flirt! How was it?"

"It's nothing I've ever experienced before, he made me feel all tingly inside." Regina whispered, she didn't know why she was getting so embarrassed

"Oh Gina." Tink said squeezing the life out of her best friend, "That's so awesome, I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you."

"So, are you two like a thing now? Are you going to be a real Locksley?"

"Hold on, he's going through a lot right now, I don't mind waiting it out, I told him that too, perhaps in the future I could be a Locksley. But that's years from now." Regina said

"Okay, okay. Just think about it, you've always wanted kids and if you and Robin got together you would have a step-daughter who already loves you and a little boy who from what I heard adores you and let's not forget you saved him from drowning."

"It would be a perfect life." Regina said sighing

"It's going to happen, call it best friend intuition, you deserve it Regina." Tink said hugging her, "If anything happens, you call me right after." Tink said

"Yeah, sure like something is going to happen right now." Regina said walking towards her door to let Tink out, she opened the door and saw Robin just about to knock.

"Hey, sorry, I didn't know you had company." Robin mumbled, he felt his cheeks warm with embarrassment

"Oh, no worries I was just leaving." Tink said with her tub of ice cream and spoon, "Goodnight Gina, don't do anything I wouldn't do." Tink teased

"And what would that be Tink?" Regina asked

"Why Miss. Mills I'd never." Tink said laughing she walked back to her room, leaving Robin outside of Regina's door.

"How can I help you?" Regina asked

"I wanted to give you this." Robin said handing her a black box, Regina took it and looked at him slightly worried, he smiled and nodded his head for her to open. Regina opened the box and lost her breath, it was a gorgeous diamond necklace.

"Robin." Regina said, "What? I-" she was at a loss for words

"It's a Graff Round & Pear-shaped Diamond necklace, 378 diamonds, 150 carats, I saw it and thought it would look absolutely stunning on you, I was going to give it to you on our little date but couldn't work up the courage to." Robin said shyly

"Robin, that's way too- it's almost worth 70 million dollars, what are you thinking? I'm not even sure I'm worth that much." Regina said closing the box and handing it back to Robin.

"Regina, the Locksley company ball is coming up and I want you to wear it, it is for you, a gift, please take it." Robin said, Regina looked at him, this man was absolutely crazy.

"Robin, I don't know." Regina started to say

"If you'd accompany me to the ball you would make me the happiest man there." Robin said

"Is this your way of asking me? I would settle on just getting a date out of it but not a necklace that's worth more than everything I own combined." Regina said

"You're worth so much more Regina, in our early stages of interaction I saw it and you are worth more than the stars Milady, please I insist it is yours." Robin said handing it back to her, Regina took it and looked back at him. She immediately threw herself into him and kissed him with so much force that he nearly fell over trying to keep them both from falling, she felt him chuckle against her lips and laughed a little.

"Yes." She said as they parted

"Yes?" Robin said placing his hands on her hips, her hands rested on his shoulders

"Yes, I will go with you to your ball, it would be my pleasure sir." She teased

"Until then Milady, have a goodnight." Robin said kissing her quickly on the lips, Regina smiled and closed the door, she opened the box and gazed at the beautiful necklace. This must be a dream, she hoped it wasn't, if it was she never wanted to wake up from it.

"What's in the box?" a voice asked from the bed, Regina jumped and looked towards the voice

"Ella!" Regina yelled, "What the hell! Are you and Tink trying to give me a damn heart attack?" Ella giggled

"Sorry, you should really lock your doors or something." Ella said

"What? I was right in front of my door." Regina said, walking over to Ella

"There's another door coming from the closet." Ella said in a matter of fact tone

"Well, clearly I had no idea." Regina said

"What's in the box Mamabird?" Ella asked again, Regina handed the box over to Ella and studied her face as she bit her bottom lip, Ella slowly opened the box her eyes widened and she grinned.

"Holy shit!" Ella squealed

"Ella, language please." Regina said getting up from the bed she walked into her bathroom and started to remove her earrings, Ella followed with the box.

"Okay, sorry but come on!" she said "This is so beautiful especially on you." Ella added, she took the necklace out of the box and placed it around Regina's neck, Regina tensed and refused to look up into the mirror.

"Look!" Ella said nudging her, Regina sighed and looked up her gaze met with Ella's then Regina looked at the necklace, it was absolutely breathtaking, she ran her fingers along the diamonds.

"Wow." Ella mumbled, Regina immediately took it off and returned it to the box

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Ella asked hoping onto the sink

"Of course I do, but what if I lose it or get it dirty, I-"

"Regina stop." Ella said sternly, "Listen my father wouldn't mind you getting it dirty even if you lose it he wouldn't get mad. One time I lost a really expensive bracelet that he got me and I was terrified that he would disown me or yell at me, he sat me down and told me it isn't about the gift and how much it's worth but the person wearing it and how much their own beauty enhances the object. Pretty much if you weren't wearing it, it would have no beauty. It's just a stone." Ella explained

Regina was absolutely speechless, what Ella just said was pure gold, it was beautiful and made so much sense.

"I know, intense right?" Ella said, "It's something I like to think of when I have things, just because we're rich doesn't mean we are cold hearted and ruthless, what's important is the people, you see when I bought you all of that clothes, I bought it because I could and I wanted to, don't ever feel like you owe me anything because you are more than enough, you're worth it all Gina." Ella said smiling, Regina's eyes got teary and she grabbed Ella and hugged her, they held each other for a few minutes no words exchanged.

"You are changing my whole life." Regina said kissing Ella's forehead, Ella wrinkled her nose and giggled

"For the better I hope." Ella said

"Yes absolutely."
