This fanfiction is 'sort of' based on the movie 'Imagine me and you' as you can tell by the title ^_^. If you haven't watched it yet, I strongly suggest you do. It's an amazing film that really shows how powerful love can be.
Regina hesitantly entered the sheriff station. Inside she found the blonde sitting at her desk, having fallen asleep and now most likely to be drooling on her files. "Sheriff Swan? Swan!?" Regina gently poked her in the ribs but yet it gave no result. Regina moved her finger a little lower near the abdomen and continued probing till finally the younger woman woke up, as Regina predicted with one of the documents sticking to her forehead. "I'm awake! I'm awake! Where is the danger…" Emma sheepishly said, spinning her head to either sides? After having ripped away the paper that blocked her view, she gazed upon a familiar sight. "Regina…" There was a tremble in her voice that didn't go by unnoticed.
"Hey…" Regina said.
Emma was lacking words and scratched the back of her head in unease. "I… Uh…"
The last time they saw each other, they were about to kiss. The memory of Regina's lips was still fresh in her mind.
"Your mother told me you'd be here…" Regina said, breaking the silence.
"My mother? You talked to my mother?" Emma asked in disbelief.
"We shared a few words." Regina sighed, thinking back of Snow's words.
She needs you…
"What did she say?" Emma said.
Emma's happiness is you…
Regina felt lost in thought that Emma's words did not seem to reach her.
She believes in you
"Regina?" Emma said, trying to reach out as she watched Regina stare into the emptiness of the room. Regina shook herself awake from the daze and locked eyes with the blonde. She immediately felt warmed by the affection radiating from its emerald colour. "Sorry… I-" She shook her head and softly snorted. "Nothing much. She just told me you were here." Regina said, it was easier than telling the truth.
"And what brings the Queen to my humble establishment?" Emma teased.
"Would you like to come back?" Regina murmured.
"Sleep at your place you mean?" Emma asked, trying to hide her excitement but the glistering of her eyes gave away true emotion behind simple words.
"Yes… That." Regina said, feeling her cheeks heat up.
"What made you change your mind?" The sheriff asked, remembering their little conversation the day they went out with Henry on a picnic, when Regina told her they needed to stop.
"I don't know yet… I only know that I want to be with you Emma." Regina confessed, looking away in attempt to hide her red face.
"You do?" Emma murmured, she was barely capable of holding back the laugh that escaped her. "I also want to be with you…"
Regina looked up to meet green eyes shine as bright as hers.
"I did promise Ruby and Belle I'd go out with them tonight but I'm not planning being away long."
"That's fine. Till tonight Emma…" The mayor smiled as she turned around to take her leave.
"Till tonight Regina…" Emma returned the smile that stayed put for a long while even after Regina's departure.
Hey this is Robin, at the moment I'm not here but you can leave a message at the beep thing or something? I'm not entirely sure how this device works.
Regina let out a sigh, hearing for the millionth time that voicemail.
*beep*
"Robin it's Regina again. You know it's either you don't know how to open a voicemail or you're just to childish to discuss this as grownups. Which one is it Robin? Ugh… Call me back."
Regina huffed, crashing down onto her couch. It had already passed 21:00 and Regina grabbed her laptop to kill time. Somehow she felt a little disappointed and maybe second choice because Emma chose to go out with her friends instead of being with her. Then again maybe she was just being impatient. She did not own Emma, she would never allow herself to believe something like that. Suddenly her phone buzzed that snapped her out of thoughts and she had dumb hope it was a text from Robin.
Going out with Ruby and Belle to the bar, care to join us?
- Emma
Regina sighed. She appreciated the invite but was just not feeling up to it.
Another time, you have fun ;)
- Regina
It didn't take long before she received a reply.
Alright. See you tonight Gina.
- Emma
Regina was waiting for the saviour to arrive getting slightly annoyed as it had already turned pretty late. Then again Emma was no child and could perfectly manage to find her way home. Then the mayor got called by an unknown phone number.
Regina answered the phone. "Hello? Who is this?"
"Regina it's Belle. Listen, could you pick Emma up? I'm afraid she is quite… intoxicated."
The brunette held the phone a little further away from her ear when she heard Emma shouting 'WHISKY WHISKY WHISKY!" In the background.
"Why don't you just call the Charmings? Does it look like I am a babysitter?"
"I tried but I'm getting their voicemail. Please, she is a danger to herself and we shouldn't be driving either."
Regina rolled her eyes, what did she say again about the saviour not being a child?
"Fine, I'll be right there." Regina said then ended the call.
Regina parked right in front of The Rabbit Hole. She slammed the door shut with a complaining sigh as she spotted the blonde dancing on the pool table. "We wanted to get her down but she threatened to use magic against us." The bartender explained to the mayor. "Ms Swan get down! You're embarrassing both of us."
"Gina! You came!" The drunk blonde spat out.
"Yes and now I am taking you home. Now come down from there or I'll have to take hard measures." She scowled.
"Oeh, I do like this dominant side of you, madam mayor." Emma seductively grimaced.
Regina lifted one hand and Emma disappeared in a purple cloud of smoke.
"Where did she go?!" Belle spat out confused.
"To the backseat of my car." Regina smirked proudly before taking off. "Have a lovely night."
"I'm sorry I disappointed you Gina…" Emma said, pacing after the brunette who was holding her hand in case she'd fall.
"I don't want to hear it right now. And stop calling me that!" Regina opened the door to her house then directly went to the living room. "I need a drink." She sighed.
"Oh me too?"
"I think you've had quite enough." Regina snapped as she caught the blonde trying to take the bottle of apple cider.
Regina eyes observed the room, taking a sip of her cider now and then. Then her eyes turned big when she got aware that there were suddenly two arms around her stomach. She shivered at warm lips on her neck, careful not to spill her drink.
"E-Emma… What are you doing?" Regina's voice was shaky, her hands suddenly felt clammy and losing grip around her glass.
Why was she enjoying this so much? Like her whole body was yearning for this.
"I don't know…" Emma husked against the smooth skin of the Queen's exposed back.
Was that meant to reassure her? Snap out of this Regina. She thought.
A moan escaped the Queen's lips at the sensation of Emma's hands trailing down the outline of her body, starting from her breasts, ending at the hollows of her hips where they stayed.
"Ah…" The older woman managed to draw out between uneven breaths. She felt the saviour's mouth curve into a smile against her skin.
"Tell me this is what you want…" Emma whispered into the mayor's ear sending a shiver up her spine and making her face go red. Regina shook her head, refusing to go on. "You are drunk." She said, removing the sheriff's hands and placed her unfinished drink on top of the chimney.
"Let's get you to bed." The mayor told Emma before leading her up the stairs.
Night '3
After Regina had gotten the blonde into bed and under the sheets she wanted nothing else than to leave but then a hand clamped itself tightly to her dress. "Please stay Regina… I'm sorry for everything. Please don't hate me…" The saviour said, putting up a sad face to try and convince Regina.
"I…" Regina looked at the door then back again at Emma's puppy face. Henry definitely got that talent from her.
"Please?" Emma pleaded, pursing her lips and clinging onto the mayor even more now.
"Fine but let me get out of this dress first." Regina said.
Regina tiptoed back into the guest room after having put some pyjamas on. Regina carefully slid underneath the bedsheets, careful not to disturb the blonde who seemed to be already sleeping. She shivered at the sudden touch of Emma's feet against hers.
"You have cold feet…" The saviour mumbled with her face in the pillow. Regina steadied her breathing. Just stay calm. But that was hardly an option when Emma wrapped her arm around her waist. "E-Emma…" Regina said. "You're trembling…" Emma said as she observed the woman up close. "Just tell me if I need to stop." Emma was drunk but she was still able to think. And if there was something she didn't want, was to get Regina upset. Regina felt lightheaded. The fact that she didn't actually wanted Emma to stop made her feel confused. Also Regina couldn't help but wonder why the blonde was pursuing her in the first place. She was the Evil Queen. She could never be enough for the saviour. The blonde was quite drunk and an easy target for spilling some information, even though it felt wrong to do it. And would she speak the truth was the question. Still Regina felt eager to ask, wanting to get some answers.
"Emma…" She began, "Why are you pursuing me?"
Emma was thinking. There were so many reasons. First of all being with Regina made her feel like she was on a never ending rollercoaster. She first always truly believed Hook was her happy ending but then everything changed after she broke that sleeping curse. She started feeling differently for Regina. Much stronger than she did for Hook. "Because I think I am falling for you…" Emma murmured, loud enough for Regina to catch. Regina's heart skipped a beat. It made things between them suddenly so real by just naming it. She then pulled Emma closer to her own body, resting her chin on the blonde's head. "You're a fool." Regina said but Emma had already fallen asleep.
