Chapter Eleven
Emma paced back and forth across the large all-white porch. The thing was lovely in the day time as well. Two large columns stood behind Emma. There were little peach colored flower pots placed on each side of the door with cute little plants in them. There was a porch swing off to the side of the porch that really interested Emma. She had never seen one before. That was really nice and snagged her attention. The cute little black and white welcome mat just made the place feel more homey.
Emma sighed. Every time she looked at that house, she thought about what she did. How she violated Regina. In fact, it took her a while to actually walk up to the house. For one Emma had never seen a house so big and for two she was still uncomfortable from the last time she came to this house. She was uninvited and for lack of a better word, stalking Regina. No that's exactly what she did, stalked her and invaded her privacy. It was a disgusting thing to do and Emma was pretty sure that she'd never forgive herself for it.
In all honesty she wanted to turn around and go home but she couldn't stand Regina up. She was waiting for her and she seemed so excited on the phone. Emma would hate to hurt her... again.
But then again, she could say something came up at work. Sure Gina would be a bit disappointed but she will get over it and maybe next time she could come to Emma's house. Emma bit her lip as she looked up at the big white door. She reached for the handle on the large knocker then at the last minute she pulled her hand away. She shook her head. No she couldn't do this. Not yet.
She turned around and started to make a break for it but she only reached the end of the porch before the door was pulled open. Emma froze and she was ready to dive into the bushes to avoid her girlfriend. She really wanted to see her but the guilt was getting the better of her. The guilt from everything. She just wanted to go home.
"Emma?" Regina asked quietly and Emma hated the confusion and the hint to pain she heard in the woman's voice. Regina's heels clicked as she stepped out onto the porch. With a heavy sigh, Emma turned around slowly at the sound of the approaching heels. "Where are you going, Emma?"
Her brain stalled when she laid eyes on Regina. The woman was standing there in a tight extra short little black dress and matching pumps. Her lips were painted a very dark red and her eye makeup was smokey. She looked so hot and Emma couldn't take her eyes off of her.
"Emma?" Regina asked again.
"Yeah?" Emma asked dumbly as her eyes rested on the exposed olive cleavage that was peeking over the top of the dress.
"Where are you going?" Regina asked stepping closer to her.
"Nowhere." Emma said stupidly as she watched her girlfriend approach.
Regina hummed as she nodded. She stepped closer and reached out for Emma's hand. As soon as their skin touched, Emma forgot it all. Her nervousness, her guilt, it all flew out of the window. It was just her and Regina. Regina began leading her back into the house, Emma of course, followed like a lost puppy. Her eyes traveled to her girlfriend's shapely ass even though she tried to keep them away..
Regina walked Emma into the house and shut the door behind them before she could escape. Emma's eyes wandered up to her girl's pretty face and that's when she saw the predatory look in those obsidian eyes. Before Emma could react, Regina pounced on her, shoving her up again the door. Emma smirked as Regina's mouth found hers, showering her with sweet kisses. Emma really liked those. She wrapped her arms around Regina's waist, pulling her flush against her. Regina hummed and continued moving her lips against Emma's. Emma followed her lips, not wanting to miss a single thing. Emma was ready to skip the meal and get straight to dessert. She was going to smack Regina's ass and tell her to show her where the bedroom is. They could stay there all night and- They were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Emma felt Regina chuckle against her lips then she pulled away. Emma missed her lips instantly.
Regina looked over her shoulder and there was a tall woman with light brown hair standing behind them. She was dressed in tight dark jeans and a white blouse. She definitely looked like someone Regina would spend time with. There were just socks on her feet. Emma smirked at the slightly casual look.
Regina placed her hand into Emma's again and began leading her over to the other woman. The other woman watched the couple with soft blue eyes and a small smile on her red lips. The woman was taller than both of them and very pretty. For a moment Emma felt jealous and worried. Regina could like her more than Emma and end up leaving her for her. The woman was gorgeous. In an intimidating manner.
Emma had actually seen her before. She recognized her as the woman that was with Regina that night. Emma thought she was beautiful then but seeing her up close in the soft lights of the foyer was different. Damn.
"Emma, this is Monica, my best friend." Regina introduced her friend with a huge smile. Emma couldn't help but smile too. Regina was vibrating with excitement and it was infectious. "Monica, this is my beautiful girlfriend, Officer Emma Swan."
Emma smirked at her girlfriend. She knew that it was a good idea to keep the uniform on. Monica chuckled and offered her hand to Emma. "Hello Officer."
Emma chuckled as she placed her hand into the other woman's. Before she could react, she was being yanked closer to the woman and was engulfed in a big hug. She hadn't expected it but honestly it was nice. Not as nice as a hug from Regina but still nice nonetheless. The woman pulled away from her and smiled. "We're huggers. Regina, her sister and myself. So be prepared for it when you meet her sister."
Emma could feel Regina getting excited again. She was literally vibrating and if she was a young child, she would be bouncing up at down. Emma was glad that she managed to please her girlfriend that much.
Regina chuckled and kissed Emma's cheek. "Zelena would love Emma."
Monica nodded. "I agree. She's pretty, nice and blonde. Perfect."
Regina smiled and looked over at Emma. "Dinner is almost ready. I was not sure how you like your steak so I threw it on the grill. I mean, I assumed you would like it like that."
Emma smiled wide. Is this woman real? "Yeah, I love it grilled. Thank you."
Monica hummed in approval. She then pointed to Emma. "I like her."
Emma grinned and she liked Monica. She was fun and kind. She also seemed to be very intelligent. She could see why she and Regina were friends but Emma still couldn't see what Regina saw in her. They had nothing in common. Emma wasn't rich, not that smart and insecure. She just told Regina off and hung up on her the night before. Here Regina was cooking for her and inviting her into her lovely home. Emma hadn't even apologized. She suddenly felt guilt but when she looked over at her girlfriend she saw that she was not upset with her. Which was good but Emma still felt like it needed to be addressed and Regina deserved an apology.
She caught the two women watching her. She smiled then at their matching expressions. They looked like two excited puppies and Emma felt like their new toy. She knew that she wasn't but she couldn't help but feel that way. "And I like you." She said eventually.
"Good." Monica said with a nod. "You're my friend now. Me and Regina are a packaged deal."
Emma caught Regina shaking her head out of the corner of her eye, then when she looked over at her, she saw her mouth the words, 'no, we are not'. Emma snorted. Regina was really funny when she wanted to be.
Monica glared at Regina. "You're a jerk."
Regina shrugged. "Emma thinks I'm great, right?"
"Right." Emma said immediately and that earned her a smile and a kiss. "You're amazing."
"And so are you, sweetie." Regina muttered before kissing her again.
Monica rolled her eyes. "Anyway..."
Both Regina and Emma smiled at the other woman. "Now that you've met my pet Monica. Now it's time you met the boys."
Monica scowled and rolled her eyes. Regina winked at her friend then took Emma's hand again and began leading her through the large house. Emma looked around with wide eyes. Emma had never seen a house that big. She grew up in a loft with two floors. Sure that sounds big but it wasn't. It certainly wasn't with Emma being a teenager and her parents being so in love that it was nauseating. There certainly wasn't enough room for Emma to grow and she hated walking in on her parents. Which she had done too many times. She couldn't wait to move out and get her own place and when she did, she thought her own condo was nice but this place looked like a castle to her.
They walked through the softly lit hallway. Emma admired the expensive looking artwork and the pictures hanging along the walls. She stopped to look at one in particular. It was a picture of a little dark haired girl, no older than three. She was sitting on the beach next to a little girl that was a bit taller with unruly red hair. They were both laughing in front of a pretty impressive sand castle. A beautiful tropical beach was in the background. Emma thought it was a beautiful picture. She didn't have many memories like that. None that were worth photographing apparently since her parents barely had any pictures of her as a small child. It must be nice to have parents that are actually proud of you.
"That's my older sister Zelena and me." Regina explained. "My daddy took us to the beach when my mother was out of town. One morning he came into our bedrooms, woke us and told us to put on our bathing suits." She chuckled. "He lugged all of us and two huge coolers, along with all of our beach toys to the beach. We stayed all day and we had so much fun." Emma looked over at her girlfriend and saw that she was wearing a small smile, apparently lost in the memory. "I remember watching the sunset with him. He made it so special. It was one of my favorite memories with my family..."
Emma noticed that Regina didn't include her mother into that statement or her brother but Emma decided not to press it though. She'd talk to her when she was ready. "Sounds cool."
"Yeah, we lived right near a beach, it was literally in our backyard but my mother never really let us go." She shrugged. "So when my mother was away my father would let us go. He loved the ocean. He used to surf as a boy. He tried to teach us but I was the only one that really picked it up."
Emma's brows rose. "You surf?"
Regina shrugged then and made a face. "I know how. I don't really do it though. I did when I was younger and my father used to want to take me out on the water."
Emma smiled. She already liked Regina's father and she hasn't even met the man yet. "Your dad sounds so awesome."
Regina smirked. "He had his moments." Emma looked over at her girlfriend and they shared a smirk. "Now come on." Regina said pulling her along. Emma followed with a grin.
They continued down the hallway to a door all the way in the back of the house. The door was open but the screen door was closed. Emma could see most of the backyard from there. There was a nice pool, a swing, a cute little garden. She could see the beginning of a wooden patio. Emma really liked that house. Regina opened the screen door and they were immediately ambushed by three furry children.
Emma laughed at the happy faces jumping up at her. One she assumed was Brock. She remembered that he was a black corgi with a white collar. Then she recognized the other dog. The gray pit bull who Regina told her belong to Monica. Daisy. Emma thinks it is but there was one more. "Whoa." She said as the big black dog stepped inside, the ground shaking under his steps. She looked at the large beast which looked more like a bear. He was huge. That dog from the Sandlot had nothing on him. "What the hell is that?"
"This is Brutus." Regina chuckled and she stroked the dog's large head. "He's a good boy, a gentle giant, if you will."
Emma eyed him warily and he looked at her. His gentle brown eyes met hers and she instantly fell in love. He was so adorable and despite his size, his face looked so innocent and kind. A little big and scary but also very cute. He happily made his way over to Emma being mindful of the smaller dogs. He looked up at her and Emma petted him. He was so soft and fluffy. His coat also smelled nice and was sleek and shiny. Regina must have them groomed regularly. Emma bent a little and scratched behind his ears. He sighed happily then leaned in close and licked her face.
"Gross." She chuckled at the slobbery kiss. She wiped her face and pushed him away. He didn't seem offended. It was as if he did what he wanted to. He went back over to Regina and waited to be petted.
"Oh he's a kisser." Regina laughed as she stroked the dog's head. She watched Emma kneel down towards Brock and he looked up at her. Emma patted his head then he leaned up and licked Emma's face. Emma groaned again and wiped away the doggy slobber. "And so is he." Regina added. Emma glared at her girlfriend but before she could move away, Daisy licked her cheek. Emma groaned again. Regina shrugged with a smirk. "They all are."
Emma stood up and looked over at her girlfriend as she wiped her face with her wrist. "It's gross."
"Its how they show that they like you. Bam! You're a part of our pack." Regina chuckled. "You'll get used to it."
"I think I'll only get used to your kisses." Emma muttered as she stepped closer to her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around her waist, pulling her against her. Regina hummed and draped her arms across Emma's shoulders.
"Like this?" Regina whispered before stealing a kiss and then another. Emma was glad that the dogs didn't lick her mouth. Emma pulled away and looked at Regina. Regina smirked then Emma leaned in for another. When their lips met that time the kiss was different. It was hotter.
The passion hit them hard and Regina moaned as Emma tilted her head deepening the kiss. She pulled Regina tighter against her and Regina's tongue glided into her mouth. Emma teased it with her own before sucking it. More erotic sounds came from Regina and Emma felt her cock stir. One of her hands wandered down over Regina's perfect ass where she squeezed then smacked it, causing Regina to gasp into her mouth. Emma smirked into the kiss and continued moving her lips against her girlfriend's.
The sound of someone clearing their throat caused them to break apart again. They looked over at Monica. She was standing there were her arms crossed. The dogs were gone. They must have gone outside, not wanting to deal with the PDA either. "Seriously?" Monica groaned in playful annoyance. "You two are like a couple of hormonal teenagers. At least find me someone so we can do that too."
Emma and Regina both turned a bright red at being caught making out like a couple of school girls. "Shut up." Regina grumbled as she separated herself from Emma. When she stepped away Emma just wanted to grab her up into her arms again.
Regina headed towards the door that the dogs had just come through and apparently exited through as well. "I'm going to check the steaks. I'm sure they are almost ready." She looked over her shoulder at Emma. She pointed down the hallway. "The bathroom is right there, honey. Go get cleaned up and meet me out here."
"You got it, babe." Emma said then took off down the hall. She looked at the art and pictures along the way. There were many pictures of little Regina and Emma could not get over how cute she was. There were pictures of her older as well. Some with a redhead girl that looked like the other little girl in the pictures. Emma was sure of one thing, Regina loved her father and sister. She didn't care for her mother and brother though. There were no pictures of either of them around. Emma understood that. That's why Emma had no pictures of her parents around her home.
Resentment toward a relative was something that Emma knew well. Except she did not have anyone. All she had was Regina. She had her grandmother at one time but Ruth passed away and Emma was left alone.. She didn't even have a friend aside from her partner. That's a lonely life. Emma had a lived a lonely life for so long it was all she knew. There was a time that the beast was her only friend. Was all she had. That's why she let this get so far but not anymore. Regina and all these friends was something very new for her. This is the most social she had been in her entire life.
Since she's met Regina, she had gotten a girlfriend and best friend and now she had another friend. Regina was good for her. She made her feel worth something. She didn't feel so alone anymore.
Emma stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her prepared to do what was asked of her.
"Regina," Monica hissed as she came up to the grill as Regina was placing the steaks onto a white serving place. Regina hummed in acknowledgement. "Your girlfriend is so cute!"
Regina chuckled. "I know. She's beautiful."
Monica smirked. "Is she a natural blonde? Like can you see the hair down there?"
Regina looked up from what she was doing for a moment and eyed her friend. "Monica, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Is. She. A. Natural. Blonde?" Monica spelled it out. Regina glared at her friend for the slight insult on her intelligence then turned back to what she was doing.
"Yes Monica. She is a natural blonde." Regina sighed. "I haven't seen her pubic hair because like myself she's bald down there."
Monica hummed with a nod. "Speaking of that..." She said lowering her voice again. "I can't even tell that she has a... you know."
"She hides it well." Regina said simply as she lifted the plate and crossed the yard. The dogs were off playing not paying them any attention. "She... tucks it. I suppose." She shrugged. "She can't hide it when she's aroused though because it is huge."
Monica chuckled. "Your entire relationship with her is hot. I'm jealous." She whispered. Regina just shook her head. "But it's not as hot as you grilling in that Designer dress." At that she smacked Regina's ass and the she yelped almost dropping the plate.
She righted herself and glared at her friend. Monica snorted as they stepped up onto the patio. Regina placed the plate down on the table. She looked at Monica. "Come on in the house and help me with the rest of the food."
Monica raised her hand and saluted her friend. "Aye aye, Captain."
Regina made a face and for some reason she didn't like that but she couldn't quite place why. She rolled her eyes and stepped around her friend and headed for the screen door. "Come along." She said before disappearing inside.
Emma stepped out into the backyard onto the deep red wooden floors of the patio. The low railings surrounding it were a rich black color. This like the rest of the house was very nice. The pretty little golden lights hanging from the awning, creating a glow reminiscent to stars. There were pretty red lanterns hanging about as well creating more light. Emma stepped further outside and she saw the cute black table being set with the pretty candle settled in the middle. Night had fallen so they needed all of that light but it was just enough. Emma looked out into the yard and saw the dog's playing, chasing a ball around.
She turned back to the table where the two women were setting everything up. A stack of steaks were off to the side beside a white bowl. There was a white bowl beside that one. There were two wine bottles. The table was set immaculately. There were three beautiful white plates sitting around, each had a fork and knife on each side of them. Beside that were the wine glasses. It was so cute that Regina had been so thoughtful.
"Wow." Emma breathed as she came closer. "Look at this spread."
Regina looked up at her and smiled. "I'm glad you like it."
Regina stepped over to one of the white chairs and pulled it out. She motioned for Emma to sit. Emma smiled and did what was asked of her. Regina pushed her in and went about opening the wine bottles. She walked over to Emma and Emma enjoyed the view of the slender legs as they moved. "Chardonnay?" Regina asked as she held up the bottle of very expensive wine. "Or would you like me to get you a beer?"
That threw Emma. Regina offered to get her a beer in the beginning of their meal. Regina didn't even like beer, had she purchased it just for her? She looked up at her girlfriend then shook her head. She didn't want her to go through any more trouble. "This is fine, baby."
"Are you sure?" Regina asked carefully.
Emma hummed with a nod. "Yes."
Regina smiled and filled her glass. She then leaned down and kissed Emma's cheek. Emma's heart did a somersault. It was amazing that something so small could still make her feel that way. Regina pulled away then circled her seat and went to fill Monica's glass. Regina leaned over and Emma was treated to a lovely view of her girlfriend's ass.
Monica tipped the bottom of the bottle. "Don't be stingy." She murmured as her glass filled up. Regina laughed and moved the bottle away.
"I can't believe you even want to drink that much after last night."
Emma's brows rose and she smirked. Yes. Regina did mention that she was was hungover. Honestly the idea of an intoxicated Regina did amuse Emma. Regina is so put together so seeing her out of sorts must really be something. She wondered if she was a horny drunk.
Regina then returned to her seat and settled into it. She picked up her glass and began pouring wine into it. Boy were those seats comfortable. They were cushioned all over and so soft. Emma wanted to just sink into hers
"That was last night." Monica said eventually with a shrug. Regina rolled her eyes and turned back to Emma.
"Emma, help yourself." She motioned to the table. "You've had a long day at work. Eat as much as you like. I made broccoli and potatoes. I also baked some bread. There is some Spanish rice in case you want something else.
Emma inhaled all of delicious food then she dug in. She filled up her plate. She didn't have to be told twice.
Monica and Regina did the same but not with as much food of course. They all sat back and started on their meal.
"Emma has a really good appetite." Regina said to her friend. Monica grinned. "I love cooking for her. I would do it every night if she'd let me."
Emma grinned then. "I might have to take you up on that."
Regina smiled and the three of them fell into easy conversation. It was mostly Monica getting to know Emma and vice versa. Regina was learning more about Emma and Emma was learning more about her. The dinner was pleasant. The conversation exciting and the food delicious. Emma was so grateful that she had found herself a perfect girl that could cook because she liked to eat.
"So Monica, Gina tells me you're a doctor?" Emma said as she wiped her mouth with a napkin after finishing her meal. She was so full.
Monica finished her wine and reached for the second bottle. They had finished the other. "Yes. I work in a hospital."
"Cool." Emma said with a smile. She really was impressed. Only her girlfriend would be friends with a doctor.
"Not as cool as a cop." Monica said with a small smile. Emma glanced over at her girlfriend and saw the small smile behind her glass. It was almost like she was proud of her. No one has ever been proud of her before.
Emma shrugged. "We both help people."
Monica hummed with a nod. "Yes but you get to chase criminals and have shootouts with bank robbers."
Emma snorted. "You watch way too much tv.."
Regina smiled. "You have a sexy uniform though."
Emma looked over at her girl and smirked. She loved the uniform. She shrugged. "Yes, well..."
Regina chuckled and winked. Emma felt heat rush through her. She was pretty sure that she was not going to leave that house before getting Regina off a few times.
Regina stood up. "Do you have room for pie, honey?" She asked.
Emma grinned. Um... is the Wicked Witch of the West green? She rubbed her very full stomach. "There's always room for pie, Baby."
Regina smirked then and circled the table. She came her way and lifted her plate. She then leaned down and kissed her cheek again. Emma smiled up at her girlfriend and she couldn't help but think of how domestic all of it seemed. They were having a nice dinner out on the patio with their friend. Wine, laughing and talking. She liked this. She really liked what Regina had to offer. She could give her a whole new life. All of her loneliness and darkness could be gone.
She watched Regina collect Monica's plate before disappearing into the house again. She left the two women alone and it wasn't as awkward as Emma expected. She's come to like Monica.
"Look at those three troublemakers." Monica said nodding towards the dogs that were in the act of harassing some small animal. They couldn't quite see what. "Here's to hoping it's not Mrs. Johnson's cat. She and Regina get into it all of the time even if the old bat just sees the dogs." She caught Emma's concerned expression.
That bitch would find a ticket on her car every single day and eventually a boot.
Monica waved it off. "No need to arrest her. Our little Spanish Rose can handle herself." She waved her hand again. "Sure she may be an itty bitty thing but she's feisty."
Emma snorted. "I wasn't going to arrest her." She shrugged. "Maybe have her car towed."
Monica laughed hard then. "Oh Emma, I love you. You will fit right in with our friends."
Emma raised a brow. "There's more of you?"
Monica's brows shot up. She wagged a finger at the cute blonde cop. "Yep, I like you. You're adorable and sharp as hell."
Emma chuckled at the other woman. "You're not so bad yourself."
"And a flatterer." She gasped. "Yep. Welcome to the family. " She leaned in close and whispered. "Please take good care of Regina. She's really into you. I haven't seen her this happy in a long time and I like seeing that annoying smile on her stupid gorgeous face." She shrugged and leaned back. "Besides you seem really happy and you're my friend now and I want you to be happy."
Emma froze then and looked at the other woman. She hadn't been expecting that. Regina and her friends were so kind and welcoming. She really liked this. She smiled. "Thanks and I will."
Monica raised a brow. "Don't get all mushy on me, Officer."
Emma snorted. "Right. Besides who said I was your friend?"
"Any friend of Gina's is automatically my friend too. You should be glad I'm not saying you're my girl."
Emma laughed. "Right."
Monica blew a raspberry and waved a hand at her. "Its not like you could handle both of us." She said. Emma brows rose and a smirk graced her pink lips. Monica let her eyes roam Emma's fit toned body for a moment. "Then again even through that uniform, I can tell you get some time in at the gym. You probably can."
Emma chuckled and shook her head. "Regina is all the woman I need."
Monica opened her mouth to say something but before she could, Regina emerged from the house, pie in hand. "That's right, Emma." Regina said as she walked over to them with all of the grace that only Regina Mills could hold in those sexy heels.
She took some plates from underneath the pie and placed the forks down. Then the pie followed. Emma was enamored by how graceful each of her movements were. Regina lifted the pie cuter and began slicing. She cut a perfect slice and the whole time Emma's mouth was watering from how good it smelled. She placed the steaming slice on the plate then sat it in front of her. She did the same with another slice and Monica. She placed the forks on each of their plates.
Emma looked up at her girlfriend and was just about to thank her but Regina snapped her fingers. "I knew I was forgetting something." She stepped away from the table before Emma could grab her.
Emma watched her disappear back into the house with a frown.
"Its best to just let her do." Monica said. Emma looked at her with furrowed brows. "She likes to do."
Emma nodded and a moment later, Regina emerged with a tub of ice cream tucked under her arm and a can of whipped cream in her hand. Monica wagged her brows.
"Oh are we serving Emma up with whipped cream?" She purred. Regina glared at her and Emma laughed. She hissed when Regina pinched her.
"Don't laugh. You're supposed to be on my side."
"I'm always on your side, baby girl."
Regina hummed and rolled her eyes. She held up the containers. "Ice cream, right? You remind me of an ice cream kinda girl."
"Right." Emma said with a nod. Regina opened the container and scooped some. She placed it into Emma's pie neatly. Emma groaned. That looked so good.
Regina put someone whipped cream onto Monica's before cutting herself a slice and heading to her seat. Emma watched her girlfriend sit.
"Relax Emma, you're going to have her on your lap soon enough." Monica teased. Emma looked over at Regina's friend. The woman winked then dug into her pie. Regina rolled her eyes. "Like, if I was not here, Regina would be sitting on your lap, feeding you." Monica added.
Now Emma liked that possibility. Regina on her lap sounded promising. She wanted her full tummy rubbed as well.
"Emma, when are you ready to meet the rest for the girls?" Monica asked. Emma looked at Regina and saw her watching her closely.
"Whenever Regina wants."
"How about this weekend?" Monica suggested. "We can meet at that Lesbian club that we love."
"Um..."
"Emma doesn't..." Regina began. "Emma doesn't do that."
"We'll see." Emma said. Regina looked at her and she shrugged. "It could be fun."
Regina hummed. She didn't seem convinced. She continued to eat her pie and everyone else did as well. They fell back into easy conversation until they finished their dessert.
After that was done. Emma and Monica helped Regina to clear the table. Emma helped Regina rinse the dishes and load the dishwasher. Monica put away the leftovers. They all moved like a well oiled machine. Regina and Monica must-have done that before.
"You two must want to be alone now." Monica said with a wag of her brows.
"Um... we can all watch a movie." Emma suggested. Regina looked at her with a smile. Even though she wanted Emma to herself, she was really happy that Emma was opening up to someone besides her.
"Yes." Regina said with a huge smile. "Let's do a movie."
After a brief tour of the large house, they all settled into Regina's tv room. That so happened to be located in the basement. A room that she never used but her sister had insisted her father get. Emma loved the red velvet chairs it was reminiscent of a real theater. There was even a real popcorn machine and concession like snacks.
Monica and Emma had grabbed beers on the way down but of course when Emma saw the snack area she stopped short and stocked up.
They then settled into their seats and turned on the screen. Of course national geographic popped up on the huge screen. Monica and Emma gave Regina a look. She shrugged and snuggled closer into Emma's side.
"That's why I'm a genius." She grumbled. Emma laughed and put an arm around her, cuddling her closer.
Monica pulled up a various collection of different movie apps. Netflix, Hulu, and so on. "What are you guys in the mood for?"
"Horror." Emma said almost immediately. She really enjoyed horror movies too much but sadly enough she liked when Regina got afraid and snuggled impossibly close to her and hid her face in the crook of her neck.
"No." Regina whined. "You know I get scared."
Monica snorted. "Then don't get scared..." She said simply. "Stupid."
"Oh thank you, Monica." Regina drawled sarcastically. "That helps so much."
"Regina, it will be okay. You know I'll protect you." Emma whispered then kissed her forehead. "Come on, it'll be fun."
Regina looked up at Emma's puppy dog face and sighed. She rolled her eyes. "Fine!" She groaned
"So Emma, Rings is on here." Monica pointed out. "Oh! are you in more of a The Conjuring mood?" She gasped. "No way, all of the paranormal activity films are on here."
"I saw those. I didn't even blink." Regina sighed. Emma laughed.
"Yeah, they were awful."
"Not Marked Ones." Monica whined. "You guys have no taste." She pouted causing the couple to laugh. "Anyway, let's watch The Conjuring. I feel like scaring the shit out of Minnie Mouse over here."
Regina glared at her friend but Emma spoke up. "She knows she's safe."
Monica pursed her lips and hummed. "I suppose." She selected the movie and played it. She sat on the opposite side of Regina. Emma of course kept snacking. She shoveled her third handful of popcorn into her mouth when Regina something.
"You're a bottomless pit." She whispered. Emma shrugged and tilted her head back and poured some M&M's into her mouth. Regina rolled her eyes. Her hand went to Emma's tummy and she began rubbing slow circles on it.
Emma grinned that's what she wanted and she never even had to ask. That's why she loved her girlfriend so much. She just knew. She was perfect.
All three of them turned into the movie.
About twenty minutes in,Regina was already covering her eyes. "That's why I always hated those old farm houses. Besides they should have known that something was up when they got that large house and all of that land for so cheap." She grumbled.
Emma smiled at her scared girlfriend. She leaned in and kissed her cheek before she went full nerd on them. She pulled her closer against her. "Its okay and Gina, if the family wasn't stupid there would be no movie."
"That's Joey King, right?" Monica asked. "From Oz the Great and Powerful."
Emma hummed. "Yep."
"Look Gigi, that's the voice of the little doll girl from the movie that you and Zelena love so much."
"No." Regina grumbled burying her face further into Emma's neck.
"You know what I think sometimes..." Monica began after taking a sip from her drink. "What if this place is haunted?"
"Monica..." Regina whined and Emma chuckled.
"Have you seen anything, baby?" Emma asked. "Heard anything?"
"There are foot steps in the attic sometimes that's why she had her father clean it out and remodel it. She turned it into a gym." Monica supplied. "But we still hear it sometimes."
"It might just be the house settling." Emma said.
"That's what my father said." Regina agreed.
"That's what they always say until one day you're possessed or someone you love is but its too late."
"Monica!" Regina yelped.
"Monica..." Emma chuckled. "She'd never let me go home." She felt Regina pinch her and she flinched. "I mean..."
"Emma..." Regina pouted.
Monica laughed. "I'm just 're fine but if anything wants to hurt you it'll have to get through me and Emma."
Regina rolled her eyes. Her best friend and girlfriend were demented. She pouted through that movie and the next. She was slightly frightened even though her logical mind was telling her there was nothing to be afraid of. She was going to get them back for that that was for sure.
Once the movies were done, Monica believed that it was time for she and Daisy to take their leave and give the couple some privacy. Despite how much fun they were having with Monica they were thankful when she called a cab to take her home.
"Maybe the next time we can show her Annabelle." Monica said as they walked her to the door. Emma shrugged,
"Maybe." She said as she and Regina followed behind Monica, hand in hand. Daisy headed for the door. She was clearly ready to go home to her own stuff.
They reached the door and Monica pulled it open. She stepped out to see the cab sitting there. She waved and the driver honked the horn. She turned back to the couple and hugged Regina and then Emma. She pulled away and kissed Regina's cheek.
"I love you, see you soon." Monica whispered before pulling back again. Brock and Brutus stepped out onto the porch.
"I love you too." Regina said with a smile. Monica smiled back.
"Call me tomorrow."
"I will."
Monica nodded then turned to Emma. "It was really nice meeting you, Emma. I had fun. I hope to see you again soon. You are now one of us after all."
Emma smiled. "Yeah we should get together real soon."
Monica nodded. "See Regina?"
Regina nodded. "I do."
"Anyway, we'll all talk soon. Good night you two."
At that Monica and Daisy went down the stairs, walked down the path and across the driveway where two of Regina's cars were parked. When they reached the gate Monica waved again. Regina and Emma waved back. The woman stepped through the gate then she and her dog climbed into the cab. The black vehicle then took off down the street. Regina sighed when it disappeared from sight. She turned to Emma and looked up at her with a frown.
"Now what?" Regina asked. "What would you like to do?"
Emma grinned. She knew exactly what she wanted to do. "You'll see..."
Thanks for reading!
This chapter was too long so I split it into two. There's smut in the next one. *wags* brows.
The beast sat this chapter out and the last but it will return!
