I would like to apologise for the long update time, but life got in the way and I had to put my mental and physical health first! I am hoping to get back into this as away to escape from my final year of uni and Dissertation.
I appreciate the reviews and messages I have had from you guys and as always, I appreciate the reviews and your thoughts! I do know where I am taking this story but I always take into account what you say!
Happy belated new year!
After a restless night Emma headed into work, barely making it, getting there with just a minute to spare. She hadn't slept the night before and it was obvious she hadn't slept much.
She walked into the office and smiled as soon as she saw her boss "Good morning" she placed a takeout coffee cup on the desk before sitting at her own.
"Miss Swan, you need that much more then I do." Regina growled as she noticed the dark circles under Emma's eyes.
"okay…" the blonde's smile faded as she stated up her computer.
"I need those reports done by lunch. No later. And do not buy me lunch again. Is that clear?" Regina glared at her assistant.
"Yes, Miss Mills." She forced a smile and nodded. They both knew that meant she'd have to miss lunch anyways, she chewed on her lip softly as she started on those reports.
"I also need you to write up the palms for the next meeting. I will be back later. I have a meeting upstairs, but I can take notes myself. I don't need you." She snapped that last part.
As soon as Regina was out the office Emma sighed and pouted, that annoyed her, but it also hurt like hell. She couldn't understand what was going on with Regina, she had thought last night had gone well, maybe she really was annoyed about Robin.
Two hours later Regina returned to find the reports on her desk. She picked them up and flicked through "You missed one." She sat down and stated to sign the things she needed to.
"What? No, I didn't… which?" Emma looked up at Regina confused.
The older women rolled her eyes at the blonde "Resources."
"Oh…" Emma chewed her lip and went through her desk and computer to find it for Regina.
For the next hour the two women sat in silence, the only sound was the tapping of Emma's keyboard and Regina occasionally clicking her pen. She looked up at a nervous Emma who was holding the file out to her and snatched it without saying a word. When she heard Emma flop on her chair with a huff she looked up, raised an eyebrow and snapped "Problem Miss Swan?"
"No… no problem"
The day carried on much the same, silence, speaking only when absolutely necessary. At 5:30pm exactly Regina was walking out her office. Emma waited a bit before following so she would avoid Regina in the parking lot.
She headed home to her cosy apartment after stopping to do the grocery shopping, she put her stuff away before she flopped down on the couch and text Ruby.
"Are you workin tonight? Miss you."
When she didn't get a reply, she pouted feeling sorry for herself, she grabbed a couple of ciders from the fridge and drank the first one pretty fast before starting the next.
Emma was on her third cider when she got a video call from Regina. She was a little tipsy by now but answered it anyways "Miss Mills" she tried to snap, though it wasn't as harsh as she had intended. She scrunched her nose at her self and sighed.
Regina couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Emma sat on the floor, leaning against the couch. She smiled. Emma was a strange little swan, she thought to herself.
"Dear, I need you two buy two cakes and two dozen vanilla cupcakes. I will pay you back in the morning." She leaned forward a little, sat in a large bubble bath, clear of make up for a change, her hair in a messy bun. But she still looked perfect…
Emma blushed when she heard her bosses chuckle… and the fact she was in the bath. She suddenly felt self-conscious in her oversized hoodie, glasses that were far to big for her face and messy untameable curls.
"Now? Where am I supposed to get cake now?"
Regina had to stop her self from thinking how adorable the girl looked. She needed to stop thinking that. "No dear, in the morning. Just bring them with you. It is my mother's birthday tomorrow."
Groaning, Emma pushed the glasses up her face "fine" she snapped. She never snapped, not at Regina, but she was tipsy and feeling hurt.
"oh, alright dear." Regina frowned softly, surprised by the fact Emma seemed annoyed with her "well… I shall see you tomorrow."
"Night" Emma mumbled a reply. Regina confused her, she had been cold towards her all day and then called up acting like nothing had happened. She found it frustrating. She text Ruby again who replied that she was working till late, till left Emma pouting.
A few hours later and a couple of bottles of wine later and Emma was drunk, unusual for her. She grabbed her phone and the rest of the bottle before heading to bed. She started to strip down to her underwear, which really didn't cover much. She bit her lip softly, she felt good. She took a couple of photos of herself, full body, breasts and one of her ass taken at an awkward angle, she added a sort message of "Miss you xo"
