A/N This is a very light hearted and fluffy chapter dedicated to a lovely and loyal reader of the fic! I promise there will be plenty of angst and drama to come but tonight the fluff was needed :)

"More, I need more details!" Zelena's eyes widened as she smiled at her sister over the kitchen table.

"There isn't much more to tell," Regina giggled, "We kissed and it was wonderful…"

"So now…"

"So now what?"

"What do you mean what? What are you guys? Are you together? Are you dating? What?"

"Oh gosh Zelena I don't know! We didn't put a label on it! We kissed and we talked and we froze our asses off and then we kissed again and then she took me home and now I'm sitting here talking to you and wondering why I am telling you!" Regina laughed as she stood up and set her empty coffee mug in the sink. "She said that she was going to call me this morning so…"

"Oh my god! I still cannot believe that you are dating a woman!" Zelena laughed as she took a drink of her coffee. "And a really hot one too!"

"She is so hot right?" Regina smiled coyly over her shoulder as she walked towards the living room to check on Henry. The toddler was sitting happily on the area rug playing with his trains and before she had a chance to crawl down on the floor next to him Zelena walked up behind her.

"So, when is the first date going to be?"

"Oh my Zelena I am really regretting saying anything to you!" Regina shook her head and set down next to her son.

"Aww come on Gina!" Zelena laughed as she flopped down on the couch.

Regina sighed, "Well, I want to ask her over here and do something here for her but that would require your cooperation of ya know …leaving…"

"Throwing me out of my own house? I see how it is!"

"Oh come on you go to Mark's all the time!"

"Yeah I was planning on going there tomorrow night anyways since you have the night off." Zelena smiled.

"Oh, okay, awesome…"

"And you know…I could always take Henry with me…"

Regina raised her eyebrow, "What? What do you mean?"

"Well, I mean if you wanted to be alone with her, I can take the boy. I need to see how Mark is with kids anyways."

"Oh, um, I don't know Zelena that's a lot to ask of you."

"You're scared," Zelena laughed.

"What?" Regina furrowed her eyebrows.

"You're so scared! You're scared of sleeping with her."

"Well…yeah…a little…I mean, wouldn't you be? It's not like I have experience in that or anything?"

"It's sex Regina, you have had sex!"

"I know but with men. This is different."

"She has the same parts as you sweetheart!" Zelena laughed.

"Oh dear god," Regina sighed. "Zelena I swear."

"Seriously sis, calm down about it. You've kissed a few times now right?" Regina nodded her head. "And?"

"And…it was…amazing…"

"Okay…so I'm sure when that does happen it will be amazing too…it will come naturally. Don't get in your head too much." Zelena smiled sweetly at her sister.

….

Regina looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. She checked her lipstick for the third time and ran her hands through her hair again. She doesn't remember a time where she felt more butterflies in her stomach. She knows that it was the same Emma that she has seen every day for the past few months but tonight felt different.

Emma was standing outside of Regina's apartment door anxiously looking at her cell phone. Regina had told her to be there at eight and she was about ten minutes early, that doesn't include the twenty minutes she has been sitting out in her car. Regina had told her not to worry about dressing in any certain way. Even though it was their first official day she had wanted Emma to be comfortable and herself and Emma was very relieved to hear those words. She still stopped and grabbed a single white lily on her way though. Regina had mentioned once that they were her favorite flower and Emma couldn't stand the thought of arriving empty handed.

Suddenly the door swung open and Emma laughed as Regina smiled and shook her head, "I had a feeling you would be standing out here already."

"Sorry…I'm a little early…"

"Don't apologize, why didn't you just ring the doorbell?"

"I didn't want to bother you."

"Oh honey," Regina smiled, "you could never bother me. Come on in." She stood back and let the blonde walk through the door.

"Here I brought this for you," Emma smiled and handed the flower to Regina.

"Aww, Emma, you didn't have to do that!" Regina accepted the lily and embraced the other woman in a gentle hug. "Thank you though I love it! Lilies are my favorite."

"I know I remember." Emma smiled into the hug as she looked around and noticed that the entire apartment was lit only by candlelight. "Did you lose power?"

Regina laughed, "No…I thought it would be a nice touch…" The women parted and Regina began walking towards the kitchen. "If you want I can turn the lights on…"

"Oh no, it's um very…romantic…" Emma said mentally kicking herself for not catching on. She followed Regina to the kitchen that was also lit only by candlelight and saw that the other woman was cooking. "Oh my god Regina this looks amazing."

Regina smiled over her shoulder, "Thanks dear. You can go ahead and take a seat it will be ready in just a second."

Emma sat down at the table and admired Regina in the glow of the candlelight. She was barefoot and had on a pair of jeans with a simple black tank top but she looked absolutely stunning. Her hair was flowing freely over her bare shoulders and Emma found it impossible to take her eyes off of her.

"Okay, here we are…" Regina said placing a plate in front of the blonde whose face was noticeably flushed even in the dim lighting. "What's got you so worked up?

"Just taking in the view," Emma smiled.

"I see," Regina giggled as she poured them both a glass of wine and sat down next to her.

"This all looks amazing Regina, thank you."

"No need to thank me. I enjoy doing this." Regina smiled into piercing eyes.

"So where is the rest of the crew this evening?"

"Zelena actually took Henry with her to Marks for a sleepover."

"Oh?" Emma questioned. "Oh…"

Regina giggled and took a sip of her wine. "Yeah, she said if Mark ever wants to put a ring on it he's going to have to prove he is good with kids."

Emma laughed, "Well that's one way to do it."

"Yeah, that's my sister." Regina nodded and took a bite of her pasta. "So, how was your day?"

"Pretty boring," Emma laughed, "nothing but studying."

"Well that sounds like…not much fun at all…" Regina laughed.

"No not really, except for when I would get distracted thinking about you…" Emma smiled shyly as she looked down at her plate.

"You're too cute," Regina laughed.

"What?" Emma took a bite and looked at the other woman out of the corner of her eye.

"The way you avoid eye contact when you compliment me or attempt to flirt with me. It's cute." Regina teased.

Emma rolled her eyes but couldn't help the smile that spread across her face.

…

"Don't sit down!" Regina exclaimed as she hit a button on the stereo by the television.

"Okay…" Emma said as she looked around confused.

"Dance with me?" Regina asked smiling and holding her hand out.

Emma's head went down and Regina saw her cheeks flush, "Of course."

"Good then come here you," Regina said as she watched the blonde walk to the middle of the living room in the glow of the candlelight. Both women felt their bodies grow warm as their hands came together and they looked into each other's eyes as the music played softly in the background. They started to move with the rhythm of the music as hands fell naturally into place on the other's body and hungry eyes never left the others.

"You know I haven't told you yet how sexy you look tonight," Emma whispered.

"Mm, thank you beautiful," Regina smiled as her forehead rested on the other woman's.

"It feels weird to say that out loud…"

Regina giggled, "Oh really?"

"Yeah, I mean I have said it in my head a million times. Hell, since the first time I saw you really. I remember looking up from my book and thinking, my god she is so damn sexy, but I never thought I would actually get the opportunity to tell you."

"Well I'm glad you are telling me now…" Regina leaned in and captured Emma's lips in a kiss.
