Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this new chapter and let me know what you think.

Thanks for reading.

Emma could not help but keep her mouth open every time Regina came on the scene. It was impressive the way she danced and sang, fascinated only by her presence.

At the end of the play, Emma stayed at her chair for a moment and could hear the wonderful comments about Regina and her incredible beauty. She got up and walked to the exit to wait for Regina.

The brunette came out the door dressed in jeans, a white blouse and a black leather jacket.

"Doctor Swan, you look good today." Emma smiled at Regina's remark. "What did you think of the play?"

"You've really surprised me ... You're incredibly talented."

"I know" Regina said with a smile. "I've been told that many times."

"And modest, too." Regina burst out laughing and Emma looked at her with a smile. "You think you can give me an autograph?"

Emma showed her the program they had given her on entering the theater and Regina took it with a smile, she took a marker from her bag and signed the paper.

"Now, you can boast to all your friends." Regina handed the program to Emma with a smile.

"For Dr. Swan, with love: Regina Mills" Emma reed out loud "I will certainly presume it all over the hospital."

"Do you have something to do now?" The brunette asked shyly.

"No, I have the whole night off."

"I invite you to have a drink at my apartment. Would you like it?"

"Of course, I would love to" the blonde replied with a smile.

"Can we go in your car? I Leave mine in my apartment ... I do not like driving at night."

"Yes, you just lead the way."

Emma walked up to her yellow car across the street. Regina walked behind her curiously watching Emma's car.

It was a yellow Volkswagen style beetle, it was a little old but well kept.

Emma's mouth dropped open as she saw Regina's apartment. Everything there was modern and fashionable and had the elegant touch of the brunette.

"Make yourself comfortable." Regina took off her jacket and hung it on the coat rack. She walked to the kitchen, took two glasses, and poured wine into them.

When she got back, Emma was sitting on the couch and had taken off her shoes.

"I hope you do not mind but I can't stand my feet" said the blonde pointing to the shoes

"Don' worry." Regina sat down next to Emma and handed her a drink. "You have a curious… car, for a doctor.

"I bought it when I was in college, I worked a whole year to get it. When I started working I couldn't buy another car because most of my salary goes to my college loan."

"Is it from those loans that are like scholarships?"

"Yes, they pay for your college, but you pay them when you work." Emma took a sip of her glass of wine. "My mother couldn't afford to pay for med school, and I wanted to study that, so I had to manage to do it."

"And now you're a great woman" Regina said with a smile. "So you're just your mother and you?"

"Yes…How about you? Do you have family?"

"Yes, my parents and a sister. But I never got along very well with them ... For my parents Zelena was always perfect, she was the smart, the beautiful, the popular, the pride of the family" Regina's voice was melancholic and in her eyes there was sorrow "She's a lawyer In New York and my parents are with her and they are a happy family."

"But they must be very proud of you, after all, you are very well known in musical theater."

"They never agreed that I was an actress. For them, I was always the bohemian who hardly ever finished college"

"I didn't know there was a career for musical theater."

"There is not ... I study communications. I had this idea to write about the theater because I couldn't be there" Regina sighed and sipped her glass "One of my friends convinced me to do a casting and that's how it all started ... When I told my Parents I thought they would be happy, but for them I'm just a dancer that people pay to see ... "exotic dancer" is the concept they have for me."

"They're very wrong ... You have a lot of talent and should be proud of you." Emma smiled and took Regina's hand in the form of comfort.

"I'm going to give you their number so you can call them and tell them that" Regina joked with a small smile. "How was your day?" Asked her trying to change the subject.

"Tired, working 24 hours straight is not a dream."

"If I had known that I would have gotten the ticket for another day that you did not have such a heavy day."

"Don't worry, today was the best day ... Going to see you served me to relax a little."

"I'm glad to hear that." Regina chopped down her glass with Emma's and they both had a drink.

It was late when Emma had left Regina's apartment. They'd been talking late about their college adventures and how Emma had gotten her car.

Emma had decided to leave because Regina was falling asleep. It could be noticed that she was very tired of spending all day in the hospital and then going to give shows

As usual, Emma passed by Robin's room and gave Regina a coffee with a good morning greeting.

"You have plans for tonight?" Emma asked curiously.

"Just a show ... Why?"

"Do you want to have dinner with me?"

"I'd love to" Regina smiled. "What time?"

"I'll get you to the theater and then we'll go to my apartment ... I'm going to cook something for you" Emma commented.

"I didn't know you know how to cook."

"It's one of my many charms."

"I hope you surprise me, Dr. Swan" Regina said with a smile.

"That's for granted." Emma smiled at him and turned to continue on her way.

Regina was keeping her things in place. At any moment Emma would call to let her know she was there, waiting outside for her. She looked at her in the mirror for the last time and ran a hand through her hair.

Her cell phone started ringing and Emma's name appeared on the screen.

"Emma, I'm almost outside" Regina said taking her purse.

"Regina, I'm sorry, but there was an emergency here at the hospital." Regina stopped short at the door at Emma's words. "I think we'll have to leave dinner for another day.

"Sure, don't worry" the brunette said, trying to sound as cheerful as she could.

"I hope you can forgive me. I'm really sorry"

"I already told you not to worry. See you later"

Regina hung up the phone and fell on the couch.

"You're ok? Tink asked, entering the dressing room.

"Yes" Regina answered without much thought.

"Are you sure? Tink sat down next to her and took her hand. "What is it?"

"I was going to have dinner with Emma tonight and she called me to cancel it. She had an emergency call and she had to stay in the hospital."

"And you're upset about that?"

"I feel like I'm disappointed." She really wanted to go out with her.

"Regina, what's going on with Emma?"

Regina gave a confused look to her friend trying to understand her question.

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you feel anything but friendship for her?"

"Why are you asking me these questions, Tink?"

"Because I want to know what's going on with you. It is not normal for you to be so interested in a person you just met."

"It's been two months since I met her.

"That doesn't answer my question Regina."

"No Tink, I feel nothing but friendship for her."

Regina answered that only to have her friend leave the interrogation. She was not really sure what it was that she felt for Emma. She didn't know what was happening to her every time she was with her. But she preferred not to jump to conclusions.
