"I have no idea where you are taking me but the fact that you are wearing jeans makes everything better." David looked at her making sure he could never forget that image.
"Don't get used to it Mr. Nolan, it will be the first and last time you see me wearing jeans."
"That doesn't matter because it is all inside my head now." He smirked. "You look pretty sexy in them."
"I know I do." She looked at him. "Now please give me your hands and don't let go. It's the only way I can make sure you won't get lost while I use magic to take us where we have to go."
He rested his hands on her ass. "I think this is better because I don't want to let go."
"David!" She laughed. "Just hold on tight."

Regina used magic to disappear from her bedroom and reappear in front of a small beach house. No one really knew about this place, except for Henry. She used to bring him here when he was younger. She knew she couldn't leave Storybrooke and this house was right on the limit of the town. Henry loved to spend his time there. They would sit on the porch and read stories as they listened to the rhythm of the ocean. It had become her favorite place in the world. But since Henry started hating her they stopped coming because it hurt her to know that at one point in his life he had loved her. Now, she was ready to share this place with David.

"What is this place?"
"It's my beach house." She smiled at the memories. "I used to come here almost every weekend with Henry when he was younger."
"How come no one knew about it?"
"It was our little secret. Right on the town limit, no one would ever dare to come here. We could have it to ourselves and do whatever he wanted to do."
He wrapped an arm around her waist. "I'm sure he would love to come here again."
"But not with me."

She moved away from him before she could let her guard down. Sharing things with David made her vulnerable but for some reason she wanted him to know everything. That's why she had brought him here. She wanted him to know about her life with Daniel, how it had all happened and how her life used to be with Henry before he found out she was The Evil Queen. These days with him would determine how they relationship moved forward. She was afraid things wouldn't work out and he would run back to Snow White. But for now, he was there with her sharing something that meant the world to Regina.

"Let's see if I get this straight, you only know how to cook lasagna?"
"And apple turn overs." She looked at him sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and all she could think about was how handsome he was. "I don't know why it surprises you. I am a queen, queens don't usually cook their meals."
"How did you learn to cook lasagna? And apple turn overs?"
"Well… on my first days in Storybrooke, I met a little boy, named Owen, and his father. For some reason the boy was nice to me and that was the first time in a really long time that someone had been nice to me. So I wanted to impress him. I invited them over for dinner. Hours before they arrived, I read cooking books and nothing in them seemed appropriate. Until I read about lasagna, it just sounded delicious so I decided to cook that. Apple turn overs are something I've always known how to cook." She took a sip of wine. "Owen tried my lasagna and said it wasn't really good, that really hurt my ego. Since that day, all I've ever cooked is lasagna, always trying to improve it. When Henry was younger, it was his favorite meal and we ate it every Friday. The rest of the days I would buy food at the market."
"So that boy hurt your ego so much, all you know how to cook is lasagna?"
"Yes, I just said that dear."
"Where is he?" He looked at her. "Where's Owen?"
"He left town." Regina looked out to the ocean trying to push the memories from her first days in Storybrooke away; it was too painful to think about that little boy.
"Is he the reason you wanted to adopt?"
"Yes. When he left town I was devastated. I had so much love to give but no one wanted it. Yes, I slept with Graham and sex was good. But it was just that, plain sex. I wanted to love someone. That's when I went to Mr. Gold and told him I wanted to adopt." She looked at him. "Three months later, Henry was living with me and I was his mother. I had no idea what would happen after that. I had no idea he was your daughter's son or that she was supposed to break the curse."
"But in the end, you broke your own curse." David made a pause and drank some wine. "We broke your curse."
"I'm still trying to figure out how we did it. Only true love is supposed to break such a powerful curse."

Before David could say anything, the timer, announcing the lasagna was ready, interrupted him. He watched Regina make her way to the kitchen and as she bent down to get the food out of the oven, he imagined her naked. That was all he could think about whenever he saw her. He knew what she looked like naked and how great their bodies synced when they made love. But he knew that wasn't why she had brought him here. For the last hour, he had heard her sharing all kinds of stories and he knew that's what she needed to do. He understood Regina needed him to listen to her side of the story, to realize she wasn't that evil after all. She was showing him a side of her no one knew; David was able to see behind that Evil Queen mask.

"That was great." He leaned back on his chair putting his arms behind his head. "You are the master of lasagna."
"You are just saying that so you don't hurt my ego."
"Maybe… Tell me about Daniel."
"What do you want to know?" She looked at him trying to read his expression.
"When did you fall for him? How did you know he had fallen for you? Why didn't you run away with him?"
"It's a long story, David."
"We have all the time in the world. So go ahead and start talking, Madame Mayor."
"I was eighteen when Daniel became my stable boy. He was in charge of the horses and the stables. At the beginning, I was really shy to talk to him; I was just an innocent girl whose mother took advantage of. Daniel saw that, he knew how my mother abused of me with her magic. That's why he came up to me one day and I knew I was in love with him." Regina made a pause as the memories galloped inside her mind. "He told me I shouldn't let my mother do that to me but he knew I didn't have a choice. We spent the whole night talking about our lives. I learned everything about him and he learned everything about me. It was like our lives had become one over the hours and we didn't care about the rest of the world. We became lovers that night. Not actually lovers, but we had to hide from my mother so to us it was like we were lovers. Daniel became my teacher when it came to horseback riding and those were the happiest hours of my life." She looked at David. "When your wife came around, she found out about Daniel and I. She was going to tell his father and my mother, but I begged her to keep it a secret. I knew if my mother found out, she would kill Daniel. And I was right. Snow White couldn't keep a secret and she told my mother. The night Daniel and I were going to run away together, my mother found us. She walked into the stable and like that she killed him. She ripped Daniel's heart out and crashed it in front of me. The minute I found out Snow had told my mother, I knew I was going to make her pay." She took a big sip of wine. "That's the story."
"No one knows that. No one in town knows why you did this." He thought for a minute. "Does she know?"
"Yes, I told her. The day I poisoned her with the apple, I explained everything to her."
"I am so sorry, Regina. I don't agree with your methods, but having your loved one killed in front of you can make you do unthinkable things."
"It's not your fault, David."
"But I never gave you the chance to explain to me. I just wanted to kill you because you kept threatening Snow's life. Not once did I stop to think about your reasons or listen to your side of the story."
"You loved her…or love her, so you wouldn't listen to anyone else."
"I don't love her anymore. I don't want to be with her anymore."
"And what do you want?"
"I have no idea but for now I just want to be here with you."

As Regina told David about her past, everyone in Storybrooke was looking for him. Snow White was going crazy trying to find him. In her mind, Regina had kidnapped him and was torturing him, like she had done before. Leroy, who knew David's secret, knew at some point he would have to tell them about David and Regina sleeping together. He knew they would find out anyway and they would all hate him if they realized he hadn't told them.

"Leroy, what's on your mind?" Emma asked.
"I… I know where he is."
"And now you mention it? What the hell is wrong with you?" Snow White looked at him. "Where is he?!"
"He's with Regina."
"I knew she would kidnap him!"
"No…he chose to be with her."
"What do you mean?" Henry stepped in front of the crowd. "Why would he choose to be with my mom if he knows she is The Evil Queen?"
"Because they broke the curse. That's why we all remember. They broke the curse."

The crowd furiously ran to Regina's house to find that none of them were there. They looked everywhere around the house and there were no signs of them. Snow White was freaking out and she couldn't understand how her husband had decided to ran away with their enemy, her enemy. She didn't know why David had decided to be with her. They weren't friends… She knew Regina had manipulated Kathryn and… Yes! Regina had also come closer to David when Snow had been accused of killing his wife.

"Where could they be?!"
"I know." Henry said.

When Regina Mills had planned her weekend getaway with David Nolan, she had never expected her own son to betray her. Her weekend wouldn't be what she expected it to be…not at all.
