This chapter is for JLTricky with the prompt: "Maybe have Emma and Regina out on a date and have it where maybe they get into a fight cause Emma checks out someone else and Regina gets super mad."
Hope you enjoy!
Regina and Emma didn't usually go on dates. They preferred to just stay home and enjoy the comfort ability of the house and just being around each other. But Emma had suggested going out of town because a new restaurant had opened in Boston that she wanted to try.
Regina was going to say no, but Emma's gaze was pleading, and she ended up giving in. And so, here they were, at a fancy restaurant out of town.
Things were going relatively well, until something caught Emma's eye. Or rather, someone. It was an innocent enough look, but Regina could tell that Emma was indeed checking out another woman as she walked by with her date.
Regina huffed in annoyance. They were out on a date and Emma dared to check out another woman? How very classy.
"Regina?" Emma asked. "Are you okay? You look like you zoned out there for a moment."
"I'm fine," Regina said tersely. "But tell me, did you enjoy looking at that woman that walked past? She is quite beautiful, is she not?"
Emma sighed. "Regina-"
"Don't even," Regina said, picking up her coat and beginning to leave the booth. "I'll be out by the car. When you're done enjoying your lovely view of that nice woman over there, I'd like to go back home."
Before Emma could say anything, Regina was out of the booth and had stormed out of the restaurant. Emma buried her face in her hands and groaned. Of course this would happen to her.
Sighing, Emma paid the bill and left a tip for the waiter before getting up and leaving the restaurant. Regina was indeed standing by the car, her arms crossed and standing in a very defensive pose. She was ready to strike if she had to.
"I wasn't checking that woman out," Emma said.
"Oh so now you're lying to me," Regina hissed. "How very nice. I can see that things tonight are going so well."
Emma sighed. "Okay, so I was checking her out. But only because she reminded me of you and I could have seen you wearing a dress like she had on. So then I started visualizing you wearing it and ended up staring longer than I probably should have."
Regina looked at her skeptically. "Are you lying again?"
"You tell me," Emma said. "You seem to know better than anyone when I'm lying. Am I lying to you right now?"
Regina studied Emma closely before shaking her head. "No, you're telling the truth."
Emma smiled. "So can you stop being mad at me now? You know that I hate it whenever you're mad at me because I did something stupid. Which is pretty much all of the time."
Regina laughed. "At least you recognized it."
"So?" Emma asked. "Am I forgiven?"
Regina sighed and uncrossed her arms, all of the tension seeping out of her shortly after. "Yes. You're forgiven. Although checking out another woman because she looks like me is a little scandalous my dear."
"What can I say?" Emma asked, shrugging. "You have that effect on me."
