A/N: Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the reviews and follows and stuff. I really appreciate it.
I own nothing. Sorry for mistakes.
Enjoy.
Chapter Three
A shrill ringing woke Emma. She groaned and slapped her alarm. Snoozing it. She slowly forced her eyes open. She was dead tired. Exhausted. She really should not go to bars on work nights and pick up beautiful insatiable brunettes. Despite her exhaustion she smiled at the memories of the night before. Regina was a lioness in bed. She was an exquisite lover. Very generous and affectionate. She couldn't get enough of Emma and Emma trusted her one hundred percent. It's been a really long time, if ever since she's said that.
She looked over at the woman that was tucked into her side. Her smile grew before leaning over and kissing her smooth forehead. She hated that she had to wake her but she had to get to work. She smelled her hair for a moment, inhaling her and trying to remember everything. She kissed her hair, enjoying the feeling of the silky strands against her lips. This woman was complete perfection. "Baby," She whispered.
"Hmm?" Regina hummed, burrowing further into Emma's side.
"I have to get up for work."
"No." Regina mumbled in an adorable pouty tone. "Stay."
"I really wish I could, you have no idea how badly I want to."
Regina sat her head up and looked up at Emma, those big brown eyes growing even larger. "I don't want to get up and I don't want you to go." She was pouting and at this point if Emma could quit her job all together she would have just to cuddle with this beautiful creature just for a moment longer.
"Wanna shower with me?" Emma asked. Regina's brows rose and a flirtatious smirk graced her face.
"Okay."
"That's my girl. Now come on so I can get up and start the shower."
"Five more minutes." Regina mumbled as she laid back down on Emma's chest and hugged her tight.
Emma chuckled. Honestly she loved being cuddled. It was rare and she reveled in the feeling. "Fine. Five. No more."
After their shower, that turned into more sex and after Emma had to almost pry Regina off of her, they dressed and Emma had just enough time to make it to work- barely on time. She really did wish that she could spend a little more time with Regina. Get to know her more. Touch her. Kiss her. Hold her.
Emma's never had what Regina offered. Someone that was so into her and couldn't keep their hands off of her. Emma was just relieved that the beast stayed away this time. Regina didn't need to be exposed to the darkness that it carried. Regina was special. She might be the one to actually cure Emma of this illness that she had. Maybe she doesn't have to hurt anyone anymore and she could have a normal life. Maybe she can bury the beast.
There was a soft kiss pressed to her cheek then there was another pressed to her neck. She smiled at the woman standing beside her. They were standing out in the hallway and Emma was locking up. Emma was in full uniform and Regina couldn't keep her hands off of her. Once again, something she's never dealt with before but she did like it.
"Have I ever told you just how much I love a woman in uniform?"
Emma chuckled as she pocketed her keys and reached for Regina's hand. "Yeah, I think you mentioned it a few times when you tried to tear it off of me."
Regina laughed. "Well, I'm sorry. You just look so sexy."
Emma chuckled. "And you said that too."
"I did." Regina chortled. "Because it's true."
Emma hummed as she pressed for the elevator. "You're gorgeous, have I told you that?"
"You have." Regina nodded. "Even in last night's dress?"
"Especially in last night's dress." Emma said with a grin.
Regina rolled her eyes and the elevator dinged. The doors opened and they got in. Emma pressed for the lobby and pulled Regina against her as the doors closed. They fell into a steamy make out session the entire trip down.
The elevator dinged again and the doors opened. Regina reluctantly pulled herself off of Emma and they stepped out into the lobby. They walked across it quietly and Emma panicked for a moment that Regina was having regrets but those thoughts were quickly silenced when they exited the building and Regina kissed her softly.
"Tell me you'll call me." She demanded lightly. Emma smiled and nodded.
"I promise."
Regina searched Emma's eyes for a moment then nodded as well. "This was not just a one night stand for me, Emma. If you're interested, I would like to pursue us and see where it goes."
"Okay, I'd like that too." Emma said honestly. That was a relief. She couldn't imagine saying goodbye to Regina for good.
"Alright," Regina said with a bright smile. "So that means you have to call me."
"I swear I will." Emma said and then pulled out her car keys. "Want a ride?"
Regina frowned. "You're already going to be late. I can take a taxi."
Emma nodded. "If you're sure?"
"I am." Regina said as she hugged Emma. She pulled away and muttered, "Watch this." She walked to the curb and flagged down a passing taxi. It came to a screeching halt. Regina turned around and winked at Emma. Emma snorted. "See?"
"Well, then." Emma chuckled as she stepped closer to Regina. The woman reached out and squeezed her hand as if she had to touch Emma one last time before leaving.
"Have a great day, Emma." She said with a smile that made Emma feel weak in the knees.
"You too." Emma said as she pulled the car door open for her. Regina kissed her gently. "I'll talk to you tonight."
Regina raised a brow. "You better. See you later, Emma." She said as she slid into the seat.
Emma chuckled. "Bye Regina." She closed the door after Regina slid in. Regina blew her a kiss as the cab pulled off.
She watched the car go down the street and let out a sigh of relief. She pulled out her car keys and headed for her bug, she was wearing a small smile. She was feeling much lighter than she has in her entire life. That was really something.
Emma sat in her patrol car in the passenger seat watching the civilians move around outside. Although she was not exactly paying attention. She could not get Regina out of her head. Those eyes, that smile. That voice. She could still feel her lips on hers. Regina was consuming every part of her at this point. If she had it bad now, what happens when they start seeing each other regularly?
This is intense.
Emma had never had a real relationship before. She's never really been in love either. Nor has she ever felt something so intense for anyone before. These feelings were new and scary and exciting. She wanted this. She didn't know what to do but she wanted it. She wanted to be with this woman who wanted her. This wonderful, amazing, incredible woman.
The sound of the door opening, shook her out of her thoughts. "Food has arrived." Her partner announced as he slid into the driver's seat.
"Nice." Emma said accepting the bag offered to her. She looked down into it and moaned at the smell of a burger and fries. He handed her a bottle. She looked at it and grinned. Root beer. "Thanks, man."
"No problem." He said with a shrug and started pulling out his own food. "Hey Emma?"
"What's up?" She asked as she held the big juicy burger up to her mouth.
"You meet someone?" He asked abruptly and Emma paused then looked over at him. Why would he ask that?
"What?"
"A guy... or a girl." Her partner said with a shrug at the last part. He chuckled at Emma's bewildered expression. "Come on, Swan. I've been your partner for years. I know you better than you know yourself. I know that you're into ladies."
"Oh..." Emma sighed. This is bad. She thought she was discreet. Obviously not. What does this mean?
"And that's cool. Love is love." He reached over and laid a hand on Emma's shoulder. "Its none of my business anyway but I want you to know that you can talk to me." He squeezed her shoulder before pulling his hand away. "You just seem different. Happy even. Besides those huge ass hickeys on your neck are a dead giveaway."
Emma blushed a little and nodded. She could trust him. She trusted him with her life. She had to. She could trust him with this, besides she had no one else to speak to about this sort of thing.
"I..." She started and Jason waited patiently for her to finish. "I met a girl. A woman. She's definitely a woman. A lady rather."
"Is she hot?" Jason asked right off the bat.
Emma laughed at that. He's so disgusting but she liked him anyway. "Smoking. And funny and smart as hell. She's great."
Her partner smiled. "How long have you been seeing her?"
"I just met her last night..." She winced at that. He must think she's some kind of lovesick idiot.
Jason just grinned with a wag of his brows. "Did you bring her back to Casa de Swan?"
Emma laughed and blushed a little deeper. "Yeah."
"Nice. So you're going to see her again?"
"Well yeah..." Emma shrugged. "She gave me her number and made me promise to call her tonight."
"You better call her. She sounds like a keeper."
"She is." Emma smiled a little. "She's perfect."
"I really hope it works out. Before you know it you'll be double dating with me and Jessica."
"I will." Emma said, smile still present. "But enough about me. What about you? How is your family?"
Jason smiled even wider. "Well my boy tried out for little league and made the team."
Emma smiled. "Awesome."
"Yeah and he..."
Emma only half listened to the rest of the story. Her mind drifted back to Regina. Would they ever have that? Children? A family. Emma wasn't even quite sure if she could get anyone pregnant. For all she knew she was sterile. But there was always adoption or other ways. They could have that but this was all too new. She shouldn't be thinking about starting a family with a woman that she spent one night with but then again, this woman was the one. She knew it.
They were meant to be. She just hoped that Regina felt the same.
Regina walked into the coffee shop and removed her sunglasses. The place wasn't exactly buzzing. It was long after the lunch rush so the place was calm. Peaceful. That's exactly what she needed after how her head has been racing for the last few hours. She's not exactly the type of person to pick up anyone from a bar. Especially have unprotected sex with them but there was just something about Emma. Something that made her trust her. Emma was such a pure innocent soul and Regina couldn't get enough of it.
Emma was just so amazing and she hadn't stopped thinking about her that entire day. Emma was consuming her thoughts and she didn't mind. She was attracted to Emma and she was pretty sure that Emma had mutual feelings.
She had no regrets from the night before. Not a single one.
Regina's family was very open to the fact that she was bisexual. They encouraged her to be who she was. She never had to keep her girlfriends a secret. They were just nice, sweet people and she knew that they would absolutely love Emma. Although it was too early for that, they hadn't even went on a date yet . Then again, she knew they were compatible, so she had no doubt that they would work out.
She pushed that thought aside and walked through the shop. She soon spotted her friend sitting off at a booth near the middle of the shop. She smiled brightly when they made eye contact. She walked over to the booth quickly as her friend stood. They chuckled as they hugged.
Regina kissed her friend's cheek.
Regina had known Monica for years. When she first arrived in Boston. Just a young girl from Puerto Rico that knew nothing of the hustle and bustle of a city so big. She would often get overwhelmed between being so far away from home and her family, along with college. She would often have lunch in a small coffee shop just to wind down a little in peace. She didn't have many friends because she wasn't good at making them at the time. Her English was mediocre at best and she just didn't want to even bother.
One day she was sitting in the coffee shop and this really pretty girl walked up to Regina and told her that she loved her designer booties. Regina smiled and thanked her then the girl went on to tell her that her accent was beautiful and asked where she was from. Regina was of course surprised but smiled and told her. The girl introduced herself as Monica and asked if she minded if she sat with her. Regina, in no position to turn down friends agreed. They fell into easy conversation and before they knew it they were planning to meet up again the next day.
Monica took Regina under her wing. She helped her get situated to the new place and Regina taught her Spanish. Monica is now fluent. Before they knew it they were best friends and inseparable. After all these years, nothing had ever changed.
"How are you, Monica?" Regina asked as she slid into the booth on the opposite side of her friend.
Her friend made a face and slid a cup towards Regina. The smell hit her first. Chai tea, Regina's favorite. "Fine," the woman flipped her light brown hair over her shoulder. Something she always does when she's irritated. "The hospital had me working that ridiculous double. We had two gunshot victims." She rolled her dark blue eyes. "Then a kid swallowed some pennies."
Regina snorted. "Sounds like an eventful evening."
Monica sighed then gave Regina a long appraising look. She smirked lazily. "How are you? I must have missed a lot..."
Regina furrowed her brow. "I saw you just yesterday when I came to the hospital to visit."
"Yes... but you told me you were going to the bar and you must have had fun." Monica smirked. "You're glowing." Regina rolled her eyes.
"Hardly."
"Someone got laid last night."
Regina rolled her eyes again. "Shut up."
"Oop and you didn't deny it " Monica teased. "Guy or girl?"
Regina sighed. She hated how her friend could just read her like that. "Girl. Woman."
Monica smirked. "I still think it's so hot that you're bisexual. I don't know why I haven't had my first girl on girl experience with you yet."
Regina snorted. "Because every time we get ready to you back out."
Monica gasped, feigning surprise. "That was one time."
"Actually it was twice." Regina corrected before sipping her tea.
"Look, I don't want it to ruin our friendship. That happens."
Regina nodded and hummed. "Right..." She raised a brow. "That's why." Regina stuck her leg out and let her heeled foot rub her friend's calf. Monica gasped and jumped, hitting the table and nearly knocking over her latte.
"Geez, Regina." Her best friend huffed.
Regina sniggered softly then winked at her friend. "Indeed."
Monica cleared her throat and flipped her hair over her shoulder again. "Anyway, stop trying to avoid telling me what happened by scarring me sexually."
Regina raised a brow and sat her tea cup down. "Very well..." She leaned back against the back of the seat. "I met a woman. She was gorgeous and had the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen and she was so blonde, I just..." Regina groaned. "Her body was just..." She half moaned and half groaned. "She is reminiscent of a Greek goddess."
Monica grinned. "So you did bang her?"
Regina gave her friend a stern look. "So vulgar."
"I'd take that as a yes." Monica said with a smug look.
"Well, yes I did." Regina said hesitantly.
"What?"
Regina huffed. She needed to discuss this with someone and Monica was her best bet. She trusted her to keep a secret. "She's different."
"Different how?"
"She has a..." Regina leaned over and whispered to her friend. "A penis. A rather large one honestly, I could barely walk this morning. I've never been fucked that deeply honestly..." She muttered the last part to herself. She looked up at her friend that was watching her with a smug grin. "What?"
"A chick with a cock..." Monica smirked. "That's hot. I know you jumped her when you saw it."
Regina blushed a little then cleared her throat. "It did excite me a little."
Her friend laughed and shook her head. "Please tell me you didn't kill the poor girl."
Regina chuckled. "No. She's fine. I'm expecting her to call me tonight."
"Yeah?" Monica asked.
"Yes. She said she would this morning but we'll see."
"Have you found Mrs. Right, Gigi?"
Regina shrugged. "Maybe. I really like her and she seemed to really like me. It was only one night but we connected, like really connected. I could see myself with her."
"Sounds like the one."
Regina hummed. "She's so sweet and funny and cute." She giggled. "And she gets so flustered sometimes and it's too adorable."
"Regina, lock it down." Monica said seriously. "When she calls ask her out. Make her yours. I haven't seen you this happy since-"
"Don't you dare." Regina snapped cutting her friend off. "We do not speak of that." She sighed. "And okay. I'll talk to her."
Monica grinned satisfied. "Good. I think this will be good for you..."
"Me too." Regina said with a small smile.
Monica smiled even wider. "Now hurry up so we can go shopping. I need a new pair of shoes and you need an outfit for your first date with your future wife."
"You're pushing it. She hasn't even said yes."
"But she will."
Regina rolled her eyes. "We'll see."
Monica chuckled and sipped her coffee. "Indeed we will."
By the time Emma got home, cooked dinner and ate it, washed the dishes, got her uniform and stuff out for the next day and finished up the rest of her nightly routine, It was time to call Regina. Now Emma did not understand why she was nervous. She was not the nervous type until it came to her appendage. Regina already knew about that and responded positively, very much so, so why was she hesitating?
Pushing all of her reservations aside, Emma called the number that Regina had saved into her phone.
It rang about twice before Regina's smooth voice drifted though the handset.
"Hello?" She said with a hint of professionalism and politeness.
"Um... Regina. It's me Emma."
"Hi Emma." Regina said. She sounded relieved. "I thought you weren't going to call."
"I said I would." Emma was relaxing a little now, seeing how eager Regina was to speak to her. "I promised."
"And you kept it." Emma could hear Regina's smile through the phone. "How was your day?"
"Pretty good. I couldn't stop thinking about you."
"Oh?" Regina purred, making Emma blush. "And what were you thinking about exactly?"
Emma smirked at her flirting. "The way that you smell like a mixture of apples and roses. Your soft skin and beautiful eyes. The way your lips feel when you kiss me."
Regina hummed. "I've been thinking about you too. We should see each other again real soon."
"Like a date?" Emma asked hopefully.
"Yes." Regina replied. "What do you like to do?"
"Eat honestly."
Regina chuckled. "Me too. What do you say we go to a movie and dinner?"
"Sounds cool."
"Great." Regina said. "I'll make reservations. Please tell me you like sushi."
"I love sushi."
"Fantastic. I'll text you the details once everything is ready. How does Saturday evening sound?"
"Good."
"Great." Regina hummed. "Tell me more about your day. I want to know everything."
Emma laughed and proceeded to tell Regina about her day. Regina seemed very attentive. Asking questions and laughing at Emma's little anecdotes. This woman is perfect. She was everything Emma wanted.
A dream come true.
They talked until it got too late. Emma was going to hate herself in the morning but it was worth it. Regina's company even just over the phone was a breath of fresh air. It kept Emma out of her dark mind for a while.
But eventually Emma gave in and told Regina that she had to get some sleep. The other woman reluctantly wished her good night and let her go. Emma laid in bed thinking about the wonderful, caring, accepting woman that she had just gotten off the phone with. She accepted Emma and liked all of her. That was rare and damn near nonexistent. Despite Emma's mind screaming to not get her hopes up, She couldn't help but fall in love with Regina just a tiny bit more.
Emma's eyes drifted to the wardrobe in the corner of her room. The place that held all of Emma's and the Beast's deepest darkest secrets. She wondered if Regina ever saw what was hidden within would she still accept her. What If she found out that that's where Emma kept all of the Beast's weapons and items that they used to dispose of a body? What would Regina do if she found out what Emma was? Who Emma truly was? The things she had done? Would she never speak to Emma again? Would she turn her in? Would she run away out of fear?
Emma didn't want to find out. So she decided to put a stronger lock on her biggest secret. Regina can never find out what was inside there. She could never find out what Emma really was.
Emma couldn't lose her.
Ever.
Before Emma even knew it, it was Saturday and she was standing in front of a mirror in her third outfit that she tried on for the night. She was thinking about wearing a suit but she didn't want to be over dressed. Regina did say to dress casual, but how casual? That's the question.
She stood there in black skinny jeans and a green blouse that brought out her eyes. She remembered Regina saying something about loving her eyes. She still couldn't get over that. That was so sweet and sincere. It made her fall in love with the woman even more. She even accentuated her eyes when she did her make up for Regina. She wanted everything to be perfect. She wanted the other woman to be impressed and feel comfortable with her. They hadn't even gone on their first date yet and Emma already wanted to go on a second and third.
"She's beautiful." The gravely voice whispered into her ear. "And very talented in bed. Too bad you're going to mess this up."
"I am not." Emma muttered.
"Yes, you are. You're going to be too nice then she's going to just get bored with you and dump you."
"No she won't. She likes me."
"She likes our cock." The beast growled. "She's quite the little slut, isn't she?"
"Shut up." Emma snapped.
"I say you forget the date and pull her in here and fuck her. And if she says no, fuck her harder."
"No." Emma's hands shot to her ears. "No." She would never hurt Regina. She cared about her too much. "Stop."
The doorbell rang and Emma looked towards the door then back to the clock. It's time. The beast took its leave and hopefully it would stay gone and not ruin everything. She refused to do what it wanted. She would not hurt Regina. Ever.
With one last sigh and combing her fingers through her hair she stepped away from the mirror and headed out of her room. Her boots hit the floor and for a moment she wondered if she should have worn something a little more feminine on her feet. Regina seems like the type of woman that would be impressed by a nice pair of heels.
Not wanting to keep Regina waiting too long, she shook that thought off and jogged to the front door. She pulled it open. Her jaw dropped instantly. There stood Regina in a plum, figure hugging dress, black stockings and matching designer heels. Her hair was done perfectly coming down her shoulders and her make up matched her dress. Dark but not heavy.
Emma was smitten and suddenly felt underdressed.
"Good evening, Emma." Regina greeted softly. Emma kicked herself in the butt to snap herself out of the trance.
"Hey Gina," she said dumbly. "You look... wow." She breathed. "Wow."
"Thank you." Regina said with a soft breathy giggle. Emma felt her heart flutter. "You look amazing. I'm going to have such a hard time keeping my hands off of you."
Emma grinned at Regina's flirting. "I felt like I was underdressed."
"Not at all." Regina said with a wave of a delicate hand. "I said casual. You look great. Are you ready?"
"Yeah, let me grab my jacket." Emma said quickly and disappeared back inside. She grabbed her brown leather jacket. "Let's go." She said shrugging it on."
She stepped out and locked up and they began down the hall. She felt Regina's hand slip into hers. She smiled over at the woman beside her.
"Missed me?" Regina asked as they stopped in front of the elevator. Emma saw that playful glint in her eyes. She grinned.
"Of course."
Regina smiled. "Good. I missed you too."
Emma smiled. "Good."
The elevator dinged and they got in. Emma pushed for the lobby then before she knew what was happening, she was pulled into Regina's arms. The woman's soft lips quickly found hers. She bit Emma's bottom lips before going back in and leading Emma's mouth in a soft rhythm that Emma couldn't get enough of. She wrapped her arm around Regina's tiny waist and melded their bodies together as Regina deepened the kiss.
Regina pulled back with a chuckle when Emma got too grabby. She pressed her forehead against Emma's. "You have no idea how badly I wanted to do that. I missed your lips so much."
"I missed yours too and your kisses." Emma responded breathlessly. Regina smiled and kissed her again.
The elevator dinged and they reluctantly pulled away. They stepped off hand in hand.
When they stepped out onto the sidewalk, Emma let Regina lead her over to a black corvette.
"Whoa." Emma breathed. "Nice."
"Thanks." Regina said with a smile and pulled Emma towards it.
She pulled the passenger side door open and motioned for Emma to get in. Emma smirked and slid in. Regina smirked at Emma before shutting the door and walking around to her side and getting in.
"Buckle up." Regina said as she snapped her own seatbelt into place.
Emma took a moment from admiring the sleek, fancy interior to fasten her own seatbelt. It was a lot roomier on the inside than Emma had expected. It was really nice and it fit Regina and told a great deal about her lifestyle.
Regina started the car. "I figured that we can do the movie first then we can do the restaurant. I know of this cute little sushi restaurant downtown. I think you'd like it."
"Yeah, yeah, that's fine." Emma said nervously as they pulled out of the parking space. She felt Regina's hand slip into hers again, lacing their fingers together as the woman drove one handed.
"Don't be nervous." Regina said giving Emma's hand a squeeze but kept her eyes on the road. "It's just me."
Emma scoffed. "Just you. You are the most amazing woman I have ever met."
Regina glanced over at Emma and smiled. "Yes well, thank you. You're pretty amazing yourself."
Emma chuckled. Beautiful and funny. She found herself even more excited for their date. "Thanks."
She heard Regina hum as she nodded. After that they fell into easy conversation. Emma telling Regina about her day that did not exactly involve much but lounging about the apartment. Regina told Emma about her trip to the dog park with her boys. Emma laughed at the story of Regina's dog Brutus tackling an innocent kid for his frisbee.
They were having so much fun just talking that the ride felt much too short and before they knew it they were pulling up to the movie theater.
"Well this is it." Regina muttered. Emma looked back at the building as they drove past it as Regina tried to find a parking spot.
The place itself was fancy and upscale looking. She's never been there nor has she really been around this side of town. Regina did remind Emma of the type of woman who has to have the best of everything and for the life of her she couldn't understand why she wanted her. Emma was damaged. Broken. Defective. Everyone had told her that her entire life. What could Regina possibly see in her to want to be with her? It made absolutely no sense.
Regina hummed when she found a parking space and pulled into it, almost effortlessly. "Okay." Regina said undoing her seatbelt. She looked over at Emma and gave her a sweet smile. "Ready?"
Emma nodded. "Yeah." She undid her seat belt. With a nod, Regina turned the car off. She leaned over and pecked Emma's cheek. Emma almost gasped at the feeling of the warm lips pressed to her flesh. Another rare gesture.
Regina giggled at Emma's surprised expression then climbed out of the car. She walked around and opened the door for Emma. Emma climbed out and smiled at her.
"Let's go." She said leading Emma across the street.
Regina's hand slipped into Emma's as they approached the ticket booth. There wasn't exactly a line which was rare on a Saturday night but neither of them were complaining. It allowed them to take their time selecting a movie.
"What are you in the mood for?" Regina asked as she studied the list. "Romantic comedy, action comedy, just action, horror?"
"What do you like?" Emma asked. Honestly she couldn't decide. There were too many options. She was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
"Hmm..." Regina hummed. "I like all kinds of films. I'd watch anything. Want to see a romantic comedy?"
"A bunch of heteros falling in love after a series of goofy, clumsy, cliche situations?" Emma asked glancing over at Regina. She saw the small smile on the woman's dark lips as she continued to stare at the list. "No thanks."
Regina chuckled. "Very well..."
"How could you enjoy it?"
"Well I am bisexual, Emma." Regina pointed out. "I have dated the opposite sex before but I see your stand point. Why can't the main female character fall in love with her female best friend instead of the lead male?"
"Exactly." Emma said with a serious nod.
"So you want to see something action?" Regina asked. "That new Milla Jovovich movie is playing."
Emma glanced over at Regina and grinned. "You like her?"
"Love her." Regina said seriously. "The resident evil series is amazing. The fifth element is also a classic."
Emma looked at the woman beside her in awe. She definitely found her dream girl. An action fan and a Resident Evil geek. She was in love. "Let's see that." She swooned for a moment. "You are incredible. Marry me." She half joked.
Regina's brows rose and she giggled. "You are too much, Emma." She kissed Emma's cheek. "Don't propose because I'm likely to say yes and then we'll be getting married after one date."
Emma grinned as Regina pulled her up to the booth. That wouldn't be such a bad thing.
The boy behind the ticket booth instantly got flustered upon seeing Regina. His eyes widened and he started sweating. That seems to be the affect that Regina had on everyone.
"Um...um... how can I help you?" He fumbled.
Regina smiled and purchased two tickets. Emma offered to pay but Regina insisted that she should, since she asked Emma out. After a small silent argument, Emma reluctantly agreed. Regina handed him the money and the boy handed the tickets over with shaky, nervous hands. Regina smiled again and took them then thanked the boy. He looked like he was going to faint.
Emma had to hold back a laugh at that entire situation as they stepped into the theater. Regina handed their tickets over to the usher behind the booth. He broke them off and returned the stub with a huge grin at Regina. The woman accepted them, ignored his flirting and pulled Emma along.
Emma spotted the concession stand and went straight for it pulling Regina with her. She stood there staring up at the menu.
"Don't eat too much. Remember we have dinner after."
Emma nodded. "Want something?"
"A water is fine."
Emma raised her brows. "Water?"
Regina chuckled. "Yes."
"Don't tell me you're one of those health nuts." Emma teased.
"Hardly." Regina chuckled. "I just want to keep my kidneys."
Emma rolled her eyes. "I'm getting a large popcorn that we can share."
Regina smiled at Emma. "Okay."
"Are you going to actually eat some?"
"Yes." Regina said with a smile.
"Good." Emma said as she stepped up to the stand. She ordered the popcorn, water and a large soda for herself. Another argument went on over who should pay until Regina lost that one that time.
They found the theater easily enough and slipped inside. They entered the dark theater and Emma felt Regina loop her arm through hers. She wanted to hold her hand but her hands were full. They climbed the steps all the way to the top and took seats in the back of the theater. It wasn't exactly crowded. Mostly young couples and a few teens. Luckily for them they had the row to themselves.
"This is nice." Regina said as she threaded her fingers through Emma's. Emma eyes wandered down and smiled to herself. Their skin indeed did look nice together. The contrast was gentle and very attractive.
"The movie hasn't even started yet." Emma said softly as not to disturb the other people in the theater.
"I meant being here with you, Emma." Regina whispered. She let out a small giggle. Emma grinned.
"Well good. I feel the same."
"Really?" Regina asked in a soft voice.
"Yeah. I really like being around you. You're a joy to be around honestly."
Regina smiled brightly. "So are you. I'm having a really nice time."
Emma's eyes grew at that and her heart almost leapt out of her chest. To find out that Regina felt that intensely for her awoken something in Emma and before she could catch herself she was balancing the popcorn between her knees and launching herself towards Regina. She crashed her lips into the other woman's. Regina let out a little squeak in surprise but chuckled and began kissing Emma back.
Emma felt Regina's soft hands land on her cheeks as Regina pulled her closer. It took everything in Emma to not just climb over that seat. There was just so much passion in the way that Regina kissed her. It really turned her on.
They stayed that way, their mouths melded together, lips moving in a slow rhythm as the previews played in the background.
When the lights dimmed, bathing the theater in complete darkness Regina pulled away and chuckled against Emma's lips. "I think the movie is starting."
Emma looked back at the screen and laughed. "Yeah. Sorry."
"Don't be sorry. I love kissing you." Regina whispered. She stole another quick kiss as if to emphasize this. Emma smiled and Regina returned it.
They pulled away from each other for a moment to settle back into their seats. The movie began and Emma felt Regina's hand slip into her bucket of popcorn. Emma watched with a small smile as the woman put some popcorn into her mouth.
Regina rested her head on Emma's shoulder. "That is so salty and greasy." She whispered.
"That's what makes it good." Emma whispered back. "Enjoy it. You only live once."
Regina chuckled softly. "Indeed." She whispered as she grabbed Emma's hand and snuggled closer to her.
They tuned into the movie.
After the movie- which they both enjoyed, they walked out of the theater. The cool night air hit them automatically blowing their hair around their faces.
"Did you enjoy the movie?" Regina asked as she led Emma down the block. Their hands still connected.
"Uh.. yeah." Emma said seriously. "Anything with explosions, fighting and shootouts is awesome to me."
Regina shook her with a fond a smile. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. The restaurant is right on the next block."
Emma nodded and fell silent. Just enjoying the feel of Regina's hand in hers and the sound of Regina's heels hitting the concrete. Regina looked over at Emma and they shared a smile.
The walk was indeed a short one before Emma knew it they were walking up to a large restaurant. The name was written in Japanese. Regina pulled Emma to the door. Emma pulled the door open and waited for her to step through then followed. The place was nice. Decorated in all white save for the red seats.
Regina walked over to a young man behind a white podium. He smiled. She smiled politely. "Reservation for Mills."
He checked the list. "Mills. There you are. Just in time. Right this way." He began leading them towards the back of the restaurant.
Emma looked over and watched a man chopping up some fish in a flash speed and flair. Throwing the knife up and catching it. He chopped some more and did more tricks. She's never been to a place like this. She didn't even know that these type of places actually existed in real life. She thought they only existed on television and in movies.
The customers were definitely Regina's type of people. Dressed expensively and sitting with perfect posture. They just oozed opulence. Emma knew that these people would never be her kind of people. She was still unsure of how she was out with Regina at the moment. They were clearly from two different worlds. Not that she was complaining though.
They were shown to their seats. A large booth. Where they had lots of privacy. Regina slid into her seat on one side gracefully and Emma sat across from her with a lot less grace.
"You my dear, are as graceful as a swan." Regina teased. Emma made a face then chuckled.
"You're mean."
Regina smiled. "I am not. You are certainly as beautiful and pure as a swan."
"Oh I wouldn't say that." Emma said awkwardly.
"You are terrible at taking compliments." Regina pointed out gently. "Why is that?"
Emma shrugged and picked up her menu. She had no idea. Maybe because no one ever gives them to her. She lifted her menu to her face and hid behind it just giving herself a moment.
Regina sensed that Emma didn't exactly want to delve into that on their first date so she cut her a break. "Order whatever you like."
Emma nodded. Her eyes widened at the prices. Are these prices for one meal? Oh my god.
"Wow." Emma muttered. "Expensive."
Regina hummed. "Only the best for you, dear." She gave Emma a sweet adorable smile. "Don't worry about the price. Just get whatever looks good."
"Regina..." Emma began but Regina raised a hand.
"Emma, please. Let me..." She sighed. "Let me take care of you."
Emma's mouth fell open in surprise. She snapped it closed. No one had ever said anything to her like that. She nodded dumbly. Regina smiled satisfied and turned her attention back to her own menu.
The waiter showed up a moment later and they ordered. The waiter smiled and was on his way.
Regina looked up at Emma and saw her watching the show at the front of the restaurant. "Want to go over there? We can while we wait."
Emma shook her head. "I want to sit here with you."
Regina smiled and placed her hand in the middle of the table. She wiggled her fingers. She saw Emma laugh a little before placing her hand in it. Regina's hand closed around it and squeezed. She began rubbing her thumb back and forth over Emma's palm.
"Emma, you are so beautiful." She gazed deep into Emma's eyes. "I wish you saw yourself the way I see you." She lowered her voice. "My beautiful swan."
Emma smiled a little. "It took a long time for me to get this way...so..."
"It will take a long time to reverse it."
Emma nodded. "Yeah..."
"If you give me a chance, I'd like to try..."
Emma nodded. What did she have to lose? Besides Regina was offering to stay with her. She couldn't pass that up. "Okay."
Regina smiled and squeezed Emma's hand again. "Excellent."
They fell silent for a moment and just watched the show. Both of them trying to understand that brief conversation. So much had changed during it. It was hard to catch up. Everything was happening so fast but it felt right. Emma was sure she wanted this. Her. She wanted Regina. She just hoped that Regina was sure as well.
Before they even knew it their meals arrived.
"So..." Regina said popping some salmon into her mouth. She chewed it slowly. Emma watched her mouth move slowly unable to tear her gaze away. "You told me no siblings, yes?"
Emma nodded her head. "Yep. Just me. After I was born the way I was, my parents didn't want any more kids. They didn't wanna risk it."
Regina frowned. She quickly cleared her throat. "I'm sorry."
Emma waved it off. "You have two, right?"
Regina smiled. "One sister. She's my half sister. My mother had her before meeting my father. She was two when I was born. Then I have an older brother."
"Are you guys close?"
"Very." Regina said with a huge smile. "We were inseparable as kids."
"Must be nice." Emma muttered. "What about your parents?"
"My dad owns a chain of jewelry stores and my mother spends his money."
Emma chuckled at Regina's silly grin. "Cool. So you know a lot about diamonds and stuff."
"Yep. I can tell a fake from the real deal with my eyes closed."
Emma laughed. "Nice."
Regina smiled wide. The conversation quickly shifted to diamonds and crystals. Emma learned a lot and she knew next time she went to a jewelry store how to select what she wanted. The conversation for the rest of their meal was pleasant. Regina was really good company. She really enjoyed Emma and was interested in her life and feelings. The dark haired woman was already invested in her. Emma could tell and she liked the attention.
Eventually their meal came to an end and their date was coming to a close as they headed out and back to Regina's car. Regina unlocked it and opened the door for Emma again. Emma slid in and Regina shut the door then walked around and slid in on her side.
"Tell me you enjoyed yourself." Regina said as her hand found Emma's again as they drove back to Emma's building.
Emma lifted their hands and kissed the back of Regina's. "Of course I did. I had a really nice time, Regina. Thank you "
Regina let out a sigh of relief. Emma grinned. Regina was nervous. That's cute. "You're welcome. Thank you for letting me take you out."
Emma hummed and they both fell into that comfortable silence again. Emma looked out of the window at the city passing them by. She felt anxious when they turned onto her block. She didn't want the night to end. She was enjoying the other woman's company too much.
She didn't want to go back to her loneliness or the darkness that clouded her when she was left alone with the beast after being surrounded by so much light when she was with Regina. She didn't want Regina to leave her.
They pulled up to Emma's building. Regina parked effortlessly again and looked over at Emma. "This is it." She said almost sadly.
"Doesn't have to be." Emma said with a wag of her brows. Regina chuckled.
"Indeed but I think that we should end the evening here. I have a rule about sex on the first date "
"Seriously?" Emma whined. They had sex the first night they met!
"Seriously." Regina replied. "That gives you incentive to go out with me again."
Emma smirked. "Fine." Her cock was throbbing. She was getting hard just sitting beside Regina and she was going to make her wait for their next date. Ugh.
"Fine." Regina said getting out of the car. She walked around and opened Emma's door. Emma got out and gave Regina's body a long appraising look. She sighed longingly. Damn.
Regina smiled and grabbed her hand. She began leading Emma around the car to the sidewalk. She leaned up against her car and fisted her hands in Emma's jacket. She pulled Emma's body flush against her. Their lips met gently and Emma thought that was going to be it but then Regina started almost devouring her mouth.
Emma felt Regina's warm tongue around the seam of her mouth requesting entry and Emma didn't hesitate to give it. Regina slid the warm smooth muscle inside and Emma moaned at the intrusion and the memory of all of the amazing things that tongue had done that night.
She grabbed Regina's hips and squeezed aggressively and Regina moaned into her mouth. Regina's hands wandered down, her nails scratched down her torso then one of her hands grabbed Emma's cock. She groaned and thrusted into Regina's hand. Regina began massaging and caressing the bulge.
They were lucky because there was no one else on the street at this late hour. So no one was getting a show.
Emma moaned again. She felt pressure building up in her lower stomach. She could cum from this alone.
Then just like that Regina's hand was gone. Emma almost cried at the loss. Regina pulled away from the kiss as well. She pressed her forehead against Emma's.
"Call me anytime." She breathed.
Emma smiled softly. "I will..."
"Next time, I'll come upstairs."
Emma breathed in Regina's scent. That should hold her over until their next date. "Okay. I'm looking forward to it." She pecked Regina's lips again. "Thanks again for the lovely evening."
Regina chuckled. "Of course." Emma stepped back. Regina reached out and squeezed Emma's hand. "Good night, Emma."
Emma smiled sadly. "Night, Regina. Call when you get in."
Regina nodded and Emma turned on her heels and headed for the door. She looked back to see Regina watching her. She waved and Regina waved back. She watched the woman get into her car. She then slipped into her building. She heard a horn honk and saw Regina pull off.
She smiled and shook her head. That woman was incredible. The evening was perfect and she couldn't wait to see her again.
Now she just had to get through the next couple of days without Regina until she saw her again. It's not even easier said but damn near impossible to do.
Neither of their friends are going to be main players in this story. I just think other relationships are important. For dramatic effect.
