Emma stroked Regina's lips with her own as if they were the most delicious thing in the world. She had the brunette's face in her hands, she could feel her scent and his body trembling.
Regina had responded to the kiss almost unconsciously. She felt an electric shock run down her spine the second that Emma's lips were over hers.
Both kissed without worry, without hurry, as if the world had stopped and only they existed.
When the air lacked, they separated and looked into each other's eyes. Emma's eyes reflected tenderness and happiness, while those of Regina only showed the confusion inside her head.
The brunette got up from the bench and started to run away from Emma. The blonde got up with the intention of following her she but stopped. She realized that Regina needed her space to assimilate what was happening and she needed it too.
She had kissed her for an impulse, an impulse she would never regret. She knew that she felt something for Regina, and with that kiss she had only assured it.
Regina ran as fast as she could while her eyes filled with tears. She felt all her emotions mixing, her thoughts scrambled and her body as if it were made of glass, as if touching it alone would destroy it.
She reached Robin's room, she closed the door and sat next to him. She stroked his face and asked him for forgiveness in her mind.
She felt bad for deceiving him that way, but at the same time he was so pleased to have kissed Emma. She simply couldn't deal with those feelings of guilt and joy at the same time.
Regina picked up her cell phone and called Tink. She needed her best friend.
"Can you come to the hospital?" She whispered
"What's wrong? You're ok?" Tink asked from the other side of the line.
"I need to talk with you."
"I'm coming".
Tink had arrived in a matter of minutes to the hospital. As soon as she entered Robin's room and saw Regina crying, she ran to her and hugged her with all her strength.
"What's wrong? What is happening?
"I feel like I'm the worst person in the world" Regina replied, plunging her face into her friend's shoulder.
"Don't say that" whispered the blonde. "You're not a bad person."
"I Kissed Emma, Tink" Regina confessed, pulling away from her friend.
"You did what?!" Tink's eyes widened.
"Well, she kissed me but I let her" explain the brunette wiping her tears "I don't know what I will do."
"Maybe you needed that kiss to realize how you feel about her" Tink suggested. "How do you feel about Emma?"
"I love her" Regina whispered. "Now I know that I love her ... But I can't afford to feel that way."
"You mean for Robin?"
Regina nodded and turned to her fiancé.
"He doesn't deserve that"
"Regina, do you still love him?"
"I love him with all my heart ... He is my best friend, my partner…"
"But you don't love him?" Regina didn't answer anything "What I think is that you have a lot of affection to Robin for everything you have spent together, but, you can't be with him just by habit or by pity…"
"I can't make a decision while he's like this ... I can'"
"You're right, you can't leave him ... But you can't stop thinking about yourself" Tink took the hand of the brunette attracting her eyes to her "You have to think about what you want and what you need... You have to clarify your feelings because Running away from them will not do you any good."
"And what if somebody gets hurt by my decisions?"
"I'm going to give you some advice, and I hope you take it... Be a little selfish, stop thinking about others and think a little about yourself. Just for this time."
Regina turned again to Robin and with her free hand caressed his face.
"He gave me back Joy Tink ... He's the man who made me believe in love again."
"I know. But he is a sympathetic man and I am sure he will understand your decisions and all he wants is to see you happy ... And I know that you also want to see him happy, but giving up your feelings for someone else is not the solution."
Emma had decided not to pressure Regina. She wouldn't look for her, she wouldn't try to talk to her. So instead she looked for her best friend to vent.
"You surprised me Emma Swan ... I never thought you'd dare do that." Ruby commented with a cheeky grin.
"It was so wonderful" the blonde said with a smile.
"So it's official? You're in love with her."
"And I think I'm very much in love."
"And what did she say about the kiss?" Asked the brunette curiously.
"She ran away."
"Damn! Are you such a bad kisser?
"I'm not a bad kisser" Emma defended herself. "I just think she's confused."
"Confused about what?"
"About what her feelings for me ... And I understand, her fiancé is in a coma and I even feel bad for him..."
"But…"
"But kissing her was the best thing I've ever done in my life." Emma let out a wide smile. "I've already decided, I'm going to give her some space and let her think... but I know she has feelings for me."
"Maybe you are right on that ... You both look like idiots when you're together. I say it without offending."
"I can't imagine what you'd say if you wanted to offend us."
"No, don't do it ... Maybe your mind is not ready for that kind of thinking."
Ruby smiled and Emma burst into laughter.
Regina wasn't sure what she was doing. She was walking down the hallway that would take her to Emma's apartment and didn't know why she had gotten there.
She had the night off, and with the only person she thought of passing through, it was with her, with that blonde who had put her world head down.
She stopped in front of the door he had entered so often and breathed deeply. She closed her eyes for a moment and let out the air she was holding.
She rang the bell with her trembling hand and waited. Deep down, she hoped it would not open, so she wouldn't have to explain why she was there.
"Regina." Emma's face as she opened the door said it all.
She was so surprised that she could barely pronounce her name.
"Can't we talk about this morning?" Please ... I had a long day and I need a drink and relax for a while" Regina showed the paper bag in her hand "I have wine and chocolate cake."
"You convinced me with the cake" Emma replied with a smile.
The brunette entered the apartment and sat on the sofa leaving things on the coffee table. Emma walked to the kitchen, took two glasses and returned to Regina's side.
The atmosphere was tense, Emma didn't know what to say to her without touching the subject of the kiss. She uncovered the bottle of wine and poured the glasses while Regina took out the small boxes with the slices of cake.
"How was your day today?" asked the brunette trying to break the ice.
"Normal, a little hectic ... I guess it was a good day."
"I'm glad." Regina took the glass of wine and took a sip.
The uncomfortable silence reappeared between them as if they were two strangers.
"How was your day?" Emma asked after taking a sip of her glass.
"All right…"
The silence returned and Regina took the contents of her glass in a single sip.
"This is really uncomfortable."
"You're right ... I shouldn't have come." Regina got up and set the glass back on the table. "I'm sorry."
She started walking toward the exit and Emma followed.
"When you asked me about my day I was not totally honest with you" said Emma and Regina stopped to turn to see her "Today I had a great day... I kiss the girl that drives me crazy and that was enough to make it the best day I have had in a long time."
Regina tried not to smile but she didn't make it.
She didn't know what he was doing but she wouldn't stop. She reached up to Emma and took her by the waist giving her a big kiss on the lips.
This time the kiss was more passionate, devouring the other's lips with despair. Emma's hands were running down the back of the brunette and Regina tangled her fingers in the blonde's hair.
Emma was so taken aback by Regina's attitude that she didn't know if what was happening was real.
Regina shook her head, smiled, and left the apartment.
