In the office, Regina couldn't focus on her paperwork since she saw Emma in the diner. Her napkin was targeted by the caramel eyes and it made her feel wanted to call her and kiss her right away. But in her mind, she fought against herself and tried to focus on her reality side one more time before her sister barged in with a wail of excitement. It shot her up to glare at her quickly.
"Regina!"
"What!?" Regina replied back with a sneer. It made Zelena pause her conversation and asked.
"Is everything ok?"
"Yes and no."
"What's wrong, Reg?"
"I don't know. I just saw Emma in the diner."
"Oh, tell me the details. By the way, send your secretary to go home."
Regina nodded and paged her secretary to go home then gathered her paperworks back in her briefcase. Zelena was satisfied with herself and felt giddy toward her sister's attraction toward Emma for years. She knew what happened that day when Emma left the town and never returned until now.
"I found her in our old booth when we were younger before college. I mean, she looked great in person but acted like she didn't know me. You know what I mean?" The brunette mayor continued while rounded her desk to be with her on the way out. Zelena nodded with a retort while rolling her eyes.
"Oh dear. I think you need to talk with your mom. Since she was a sponsor of Emma's college. I swear, I know that feeling you are talking about. It happened to me before."
"Anyway, I asked for her phone number and talked about her life. She lived in New York City before. Do you remember that I attended one of her shows in NYC? It was her in a while. But she currently lives in Los Angeles, California." Regina furrowed her brows at her mention of their mother in their conversation and decided to put it away in her mental note when she has a chance to ask her mom about Emma later. She explained right away after locking her office door even the front door of the town hall.
"Oh dear." Zelena said.
"Her phone number was located in New York City. What does it mean?" Regina turned around to face her and asked with her curiosity. The redheaded woman narrowed her eyes with a nervous response while looking up at the bakery shop from the town hall where they walked straight to their parents' house for a tea chat.
"Well, it is a phone number that she listed herself when she lived there but moved away to the West. She never changed it. Let me tell you, what are you doing right now?"
"Nothing."
"Oh my gosh. Call her!" Zelena shouted after her sister. Regina went startled by her voice and stared at the emerald eyes like Emma's eyes. She shook her head and confirmed.
"No. I won't call her and I prefer to wait."
"What the heck are you doing? Are you insane? Call Emma right now and you both have make up sex afterward. Oh shit, I am going now. I swear you both have a lot of things to say before you have lesbian sex. I don't want the details."
"Zelena!" Regina yelled back. The brunette woman looked around herself and made sure that everyone didn't hear her sister's rants toward their sex life. The red headed woman rolled her eyes and explained.
"Seriously, I am going to get you to call her right now. Come on."
"Fine. Let me call her." Regina glared at her while fishing her phone and dialed the number with a napkin in her other hand. Zelena raised her eyebrows before walking into the bakery shop. The brunette mayor rolled her eyes and stood outside while waiting for her sister to finish her thing before going to see their parents.
"Hello?" Emma responded on the cell phone.
"Hi. This is Regina, we met over the diner this afternoon."
"Oh yes, hello." The blonde diva said.
"Well, I wonder if we could have our conversation to be tuned at my place tonight? Well, I moved out of my parents' mansion and I live on Spanish Rose Rd. I'm rambling, am I?" Regina was nervously asking while looking away at the people who were chattering over the coffee. Zelena came out with her box of muffins and picked one out from it then watched her sister babbling on the phone.
"No, you are not rambling. I know where it is. Well, my sister, Amy told me about it. Yes, I would love to. So, 6:30pm?" Emma chuckled with a retort and it caused Regina to feel relieved that she was not rambling at all. The redheaded woman rolled her eyes and mouthed, 'Emma' at her and got a nod from Regina. The brunette mayor continued.
"Yes. Have you had a dinner yet?"
"No. I can wait until I get home." Emma said.
"No! I mean, no. Have a dinner with me tonight and I will cook your favorite dish. Lasagne. I know you love it."
"Sure. Let me be off and see you at 6:30pm." The blonde woman said before hanging up. Regina fisted in the air while Zelena was watching her while eating her blueberry muffin. It left Regina smile in the air and went startled by her sister's voice.
"So, Emma?"
"She is coming tonight for dinner. And, you are uninvited even parents too."
"Oh… Smut time." Zelena waggled her eyebrows while finishing her muffin and Regina rolled her eyes but felt like she wanted to strangle her sister's neck with a rope so she could be done with it.
Few hours later, Regina finished her tea chat with her mother with a lot of questions about Emma's life. It backfired her plans to get out of her parents' house but practically dragged by her own beloved mother. Her father was helpless but kept smiling at her. Zelena was making the dinner for their parents before leaving for her friends' hangout at the The Rabbit Hole.
The brunette mayor diverted herself into the conversation with her mother but won't tell the details between them in the diner this afternoon. She knew that Cora would love the details… Smut details by the way. It caused her to horrify toward her mother's dirty mind into the lesbian sex. Zelena cracked into a laughter when she came in with the cider for her mother and pointed out to her sister with 'See'. Regina flipped her middle finger at her while getting up from the couch then decided to leave quickly before her dinner time with Emma.
Her parents sent their farewell with Zelena who was making smooch noises behind them. Regina rolled her eyes and came out of her parents' house then walked away to her mansion that was not far away. It was just two streets to cross over from Mifflin Road to Spanish Rose Rd.
Few minutes later, the brunette mayor gathered her mail and entered in the foyer hall. She looked up from her hands and saw her house being empty but filled up with the boxes that were left behind since her move in. Regina had no heart to clean it up but decided to use her time to clean up this weekend as she promised herself to do it. There were no photos on the wall. The furniture was angled perfectly as Regina wanted it to be in every room. The boxes were still there but unopened at this time.
She sighed and walked into the kitchen then looked up at the clock. It was 5pm. She only had an hour and 30 minutes to make the lasagna. The brunette mayor dropped everything on the kitchen counter and searched inside her refrigerator to grasp everything that she need. In 15 minutes later, she threw everything in the casserole dish and didn't bother by filling each sheet perfectly. In her mind, she felt like a lazy cat on the couch since she worked herself out on the paperwork all day.
Finally, she baked the dish in the oven in few minutes later before cleaning up on the kitchen counter. Regina rounded herself to gather the plates and wine glasses before entering the dining room. She wondered how Emma's life was like since her conversation with her in the diner. It filled her mind by many questions in her head.
Her dining table was beautiful with the blue plates with the wine glasses on the corners. She forgot the utensils and rolled her eyes then walked back into the kitchen to retrieve them with the napkins. Regina checked the oven quickly before placing them properly on the dish mat on the table.
Lastly, the doorbell rang and she looked up from the dining table. Regina went into the kitchen and gathered her mail then put aside away in the corner table which it was beside the refrigerator. The brunette mayor looked down at her clothes and found herself that she was wearing the powersuit then went into the foyer to answer the door quickly.
She opened the door to reveal Emma and the boy who was standing beside her. It surprised herself out of the blue when her eyes looked down at him. She paused herself to speak up but the boy beat her to it.
"Hello. I'm Henry!" It caused Regina to smile and shake his hand with a retort.
"I'm Regina. It's pleasure to meet you."
"I know." Henry smiled after shaking her hand then looked up at his mother. Emma nervously smiled at Regina who was looking up at her and asked.
"Is it ok if he comes with me to have dinner with you?"
"No, it's fine. I thought it is just two of us but I can get a plate ready. Oh. I'm a terrible host to not invite you both to come in. Please come in and feel free to make yourself at home."
Others nodded and came in the foyer hall. Regina nodded at herself with a mental smack in her head and continued.
"Do you mind if you can check on the lasagna in the oven when the timer is over? I'm going upstairs to change my clothes."
"Sure no problem. Where is the kitchen?"
"Right over there past the living room and turn left. You will see the dining room then you can enter the door between the wine cabinet on the sides." Regina stepped upstairs and retorted quickly before running back to her master bedroom. Henry and Emma nodded at themselves with the smiles then followed the instructions to find the kitchen.
Emma came closer to the oven and checked if the lasagna was ok but heard the timer beeping. Henry searched for the oven mitts in the drawers until he found it in the corner of the sink and handed her off. The blonde diva opened the oven door and gathered the dish with her oven mitts then took it out and placed on the stove rack to cool it off. The brown-haired boy closed the oven door and turned the timer off.
It left them alone to gather the food from the kitchen to the dining room. Henry searched for his plate and a cup of glass then entered in the room to place it on the dish mat and sat down. Emma looked up at the wine cabinet and picked a good wine of Pinot Noir then searched for a corkscrew in the drawer then did it on the wine and poured them in the wine glasses. Henry decided to come back in the kitchen and searched for orange juice in the refrigerator then poured into his glass and he came back to the dining room again.
Finally, they waited for Regina to come back in the dining room and looked at each other with their anxiety. Emma knew that it was time to tell Regina everything. Henry was there to support his mom but wanted to meet his other mom in a person. They had a chat with Mary Margaret and David recently after Emma hung up on the conversation with Regina few hours ago.
