"JONATHAN!" Robin yelled out as he walked into Jonathan's house. He was mad, no he was furious, no he was pissed off! He was not leaving until he found out exactly what had happened tonight.
"Can I help you Locksley?" Jonathan asked as he came out of the den towards Robin with a sly smile on his face and a drink in his hand.
"What did you do?" Robin asked as he walked up to him. His hands were clenched and he was trying his anger under control.
"Can you be more specific?" Jonathan asked.
"You and your daughter did something to me tonight, and I want to know what," Robin said.
"I've been here all day thank you very much." Jonathan said. "But Zelena did tell me she was meeting you tonight. Did you two have a good time?"
"Your daughter got into bed with me and pretended that we had been intimate, in front of Regina. And you're going to tell me what she did exactly," Robin said.
"Oh, so you and my little girl have had relations? So should I call you son now?" Jonathan asked as he turned and walked away from Robin.
"I would rather become a monk then be with your daughter," Robin said.
"How dare you!" Jonathan said.
"No, how dare you! You hit Regina, you sorry son of a bitch!" Robin yelled and pulled back his fist and hit Jonathan as hard as he could, knocking the older man flat on the floor.
"Daddy!" Zelena yelled as she ran towards her father. "How could you?"
"How could I? That scum loves to beat up on the woman I love, your step sister. Now what game did you play today?" Robin asked as he leaned towards her on the floor holding her father's head on her lap.
"First you have sex with me, then you're acting like this?" Zelena asked.
"WE DID NOT HAVE SEX!" Robin yelled at her. "You crawled into my bed while I was sleeping, and I suspect you knew Regina was coming to see me. Admit it!"
"I'll admit no such thing! I don't have to drug a man to get them to have sex with me!" Zelena said and put a hand over her mouth as she realize what she had admitted to.
"You drugged me? Are you completely insane?" Robin asked as it all made sense now. The already poured up glass of champagne, his feeling tired all of a sudden. He wasn't for sure but now he suspected that Zelena had been the one who had texted him from Regina's phone. All this was some sick plan to turn Regina against him. But why?
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Zelena said.
"If you don't tell me why you did this, I'll have no choice but to call the police about this matter," Robin said.
"You wouldn't," Zelena said.
"You have three seconds," Robin said.
"Alright! I wanted Regina to suffer like she made me suffer when she stole you from me!" Zelena said.
"Zelena I was never yours, not now, not ever! Get that through your head!" Robin was now yelling at her.
"But you would have been mine if you would have matched my rocket that night at the ball," Zelena said.
"You'll do anything to hurt Regina, even let your father beat on her. Tell your dead desperate daddy if he so much as looks at Regina ever again, I'll put him in the hospital. And that is a promise," Robin said as he turned and made to go upstairs, he knew Regina's room was upstairs but he didn't know where exactly.
He had to find her and explain to her everything he had learned from Zelena. He knew from her eyes this looked bad, very bad. He wasn't upset that she was angry with him, he could very well see how any normal person would not take it too good if they found the person that they were in love with, in bed with another person. He could fix this, he knew he could. He was in the process of opening and closing doors, trying to find Regina but there was no sign of her. He saw movement in the corner of his eye and saw a woman standing there. It was Regina's mother, he had met her at a charity event years ago.
"Mrs. Mills, I'm Robin Locksley," Robin said.
"I know who you are. Regina's not here," Cora said.
"Do you know where she might be?" Robin asked. He believed her, he had no reason to doubt her words to him.
"In a moment. Robin did you mean what you said? Did Jonathan hit my daughter?" Cora asked.
"I hate to have to tell you this, but yes. He bruised the side of her face and put bruises on her arms. And yes I saw them for myself," Robin said. He saw Cora put her hands to her face and start to cry, he made a move to go to her. "I'm sorry."
"She didn't tell me, why didn't she tell me?" Cora asked more to herself than to Robin.
"From what she has told me, Jonathan threatened to take everything from you both if she didn't stay away from me," Robin said.
"I'm so sorry for what Jonathan did to you, to both of you with his and Zelena's sick scheme," Cora said.
"Mrs. Mills, please I have to find Regina," Robin said.
"Of course, try the stables first. If she's not there, go to lake on the east side. We have an old cabin there, she used to love going there when she was little," Cora said.
"Thank you. Can I get you out of here?" Robin asked.
"I can take of that myself, but thank you. And Robin I also heard you say that you're in love with my daughter," Cora said as she saw Robin nod. "My daughter is very head strong, and she keeps a lot in. She was devastated by the loss of her first love, and had given up on ever finding it again. But I feel that with you, she has found it again," Cora said.
"I love your daughter very much, and she has confessed to being in love with me as well. And once this has all passed over. I would like to have a conversation about this more with you, but right now I have to find her," Robin said as she nodded and Robin took off from the house. He would go to the stables, then the cabin and if neither showed any signs of Regina, then he didn't know what else to do but call the police to help find her.
He arrived at the stables in no time, but there was no sign of Regina. He had tried calling her over and over on her cell phone but it was going to voice mail every single time. His frustrations were growing, if only she would let him explain what had happened. What really had happened. He then set off towards the cabin that Cora had told him to drive, the drive took longer but he arrived there within the hour. He let out a sigh of relief as he spotted a car in driveway. He quickly parked his car and headed for the cabin's door. He could see lights coming from the inside. He knocked on the door and called out her name.
"Regina! It's Robin, please let me in!" Robin said at the door.
"Go away!" Regina said from the inside. She knew there was no use in trying to pretend she wasn't here. He had already seen her car. But how had he found out about this cabin? She had never spoken about it before.
"Regina, you have to let me explain what happened. What really happened with Zelena," Robin said. He smiled as the cabin's door was flung open.
"I already know what happened between you two. You obviously couldn't wait and have to have your needs taken care of, so since one sister wasn't ready, you thought hey why not try the other then," Regina said.
"I can wait longer than you think. And nothing happened with Zelena," Robin said. "Please let me come in."
"Fine," Regina said as she made room to let him come inside. "But know this, you're not staying."
"Regina, nothing went on between Zelena and me. It was all a set up," Robin said as he closed the door behind him.
"You expect me to believe that?" Regina asked.
"There is only one woman that I want to make love to and it's not Zelena. It's you! I want you under me or on top of me, I dream about that. You're the one I'm in love with, the only one!" Robin said trying to get through to her.
"You're just like all other men, you always want something on the side. Only this time you wanted my step sister," Regina said. She was hurt that Robin had slept with someone else, but knowing it was Zelena only added to the hurt.
"I was drugged!" Robin yelled at her.
"Right, little Zelena put a ruffie in your drink I guess?" Regina said as she couldn't believe he was trying to get her to believe his lies. She had once, but never again.
"That's exactly what she did, Regina. She must have used your phone, because I got a message from who I thought was you to meet you at the club earlier, and when I got there, there was a glass of champagne already poured up and waiting on me. I drunk two glasses and a short time later I was feeling very tired, so I laid down to wait for you. The next thing I know you were walking into the room, Regina," Robin told her everything he knew.
"So did you two?" Regina asked, she hated that she asked but she had to know.
"I honestly don't think so, but I have no memory of it. Nothing," Robin answered.
"But if she did, that means she raped you," Regina said.
"Yes," Robin answered. He hated that all this was happening, he could take what might have happened to him. But to see the pain in Regina's eyes was what was hurting him the most.
"Why should I believe you?" Regina asked.
"Because you want to, Regina," Robin said as he took her gently by her shoulders and placed one hand under her chin to raise her gaze to meet his. "You're in love with me, as much as I am with you. Your heart is telling you to trust me, but your head is recalling what you saw in that room. Your step father help plan this little plan with Zelena, to somehow get me to fall for her, but my heart is already taken by you and I have no desire to ever get it back. This is true."
Regina looked in his eyes the whole time as he had been speaking to her, she knew then everything he was saying was true. When she saw his head start to lower she did not pull back from him, instead she met him halfway and gave him a slow, drugging kiss.
Like a dying man in search of the only thing that would substain him, Robin hauled her against him. His hands cupping her sweet backside, while his mouth made love to hers. Heat against heat, her tongue met his as they took and gave, their kisses turning fevered.
"I believe you," Regina said against his mouth. She was breathless, her voice husky. Robin looked down into her face and smiled lightly before covering her mouth one last time, his body so hard, so ready. And she followed his movement, pressing her hips up against his erection. Need filled him almost to the point of pain, yet he fought himself and released her. Now was not the time for them to make love, but very soon.
"We can't, not now," Robin said regretfully. He wanted nothing more than to pick her up and carry her into the nearest bedroom, or the wall behind her, or even the kitchen table he saw out of the corner of his eye.
"You don't want me?" Regina asked. She thought he was right there with her.
"I think you have felt how much I want you, but I want more than just your body. I want your trust and I want you to have no regrets after tonight. If we did make love tonight, I fear you would regret it in the morning, and I want nothing between us like that. No regrets, but know this, I swear to God I won't be a gentleman for much longer," Robin said.
"Gentlemen are over-rated anyways," Regina said. "How did you find me anyways?"
"Your mother told me where you might be," Robin answered. "I have a quick talk with her, I also punched Jonathan a few times."
"Oh Robin, tell me you didn't," Regina said. She knew there would be hell to pay for that.
"Yes, seeing that man and knowing what he did to you not just today, but to see these bruises and being face to face with the bastard who did it, I couldn't help myself," Robin said.
"But my mother, and he'll take everything from us," Regina said.
"No he won't, he won't have any control over you," Robin said.
"You don't know that," Regina said.
"Yes, I do," Robin said. "Trust me."
"I do, Robin. But I have to get mother out of there, he'll take all this out on her," Regina said as she moved from him and started to the door.
"Wait, Regina, let me drive us back," Robin said as together they headed to his car and were on their way back to the house. All the way there, Regina's nerves were on edge, she prayed her mother was alright. Once they arrived, Regina ran into the house with Robin right behind her.
"It's quiet, too quiet," Regina said.
"Let's get your mother and get out of here," Robin said as they headed upstairs to Cora's room. They entered her room, but there was no sign of Cora.
"He's done something, I know it," Regina said.
"We don't know this just yet," Robin said as they left the room and started searching all over the house, they finally went to Jonathan's study, Robin entered first and after taking a few steps was hit over the head with an iron object.
"Robin!" Regina yelled as she saw it happen in front of her. She immediately went to his side, but Robin was out cold. She turned and saw Jonathan standing there with a sinister look on his face, a crazed look.
"Well, well if it isn't the little slut back with her boy toy," Jonathan said as he started walking towards her. Regina got up to meet him, trying to keep his attention from Robin and on her instead.
"What? Is Zelena here?" Regina said as Jonathan backhanded her down to the floor.
"All you had to do was stay away from him, but you couldn't do that now could you? You have to have him between your thighs didn't you? Well now you're going to pay for that," Jonathan said as he pulled out a syringe. Regina didn't know what was in it, but she knew it was going to be bad for her. She tried to move to the side to get away but was stopped by Jonathan and he was in the process of putting the needle in her arm when he was hit from behind.
"Not my daughter, you bastard!" Cora yelled as she had a paperweight in her hand, she had hit him on the back of the head, knocking him out cold.
"Mother," Regina said as she went to her mother, hugging her.
"Regina, I'm so sorry for what you've had to go through," Cora said. By this time Robin was waking up finally, he went over to Jonathan making sure he was alive but out cold still.
"Regina," Robin said as Regina left her mother's embrace for Robin's.
"Are you alright?" Regina asked.
"Have I ever told you how hard headed I am?" Robin asked.
"You don't have to tell me, I have witnessed it many times over," Regina said as he hugged her tighter to him.
"I called the cops, they should be here for any minute," Cora said as Robin and Regina both turned to look at her.
"Thank you, Mrs. Mills," Robin said.
"No, thank you Robin. For looking out after my daughter when I couldn't," Cora said, as the cops started to arrive. After getting all the details from Robin, Regina and Cora, Jonathan was handcuffed and arrested and taken to the police station.
"What about Zelena?" Regina asked once they were alone.
"I haven't seen her all day," Cora said. "She must have ran off."
"Don't think about her anymore, we're together and this is true," Robin said as he hugged her.
"I'm going to leave you two alone, and try to get some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow," Cora said as she hugged her daughter once before going up to her bedroom.
"You alright?" Robin asked once they were alone.
"As long as I'm with you," Regina said as he pulled her into a long hug.
"I better leave and let you get some sleep as well," Robin said.
"Will you stay with me tonight?" Regina asked as Robin raised his eyebrows at her. "Just sleep, I just want to go to sleep in your arms tonight." Robin smiled and nodded and the two of them headed upstairs to her room, and fell asleep in each other's arms that night. Robin kept a close embrace on Regina all through the night, he had the woman of his dreams beside him. Everything was not worked out after the day's events but Robin was looking forward to them putting the past behind them, and he looked forward to their futures.
