Regina's POV
In the restaurant.
Our orders arrived. Since my cravings already kicked in, I ordered a calamari for starter, creamy seafood linguini, mixed berries souffle, and a house blend iced tea while my friend only ordered a chicken caesar salad and a lemon water. My friend's eyes widened when she saw my orders, "Regina, are you going to eat all of that?"
"Well, yes. But I will share, do you want some?" I grabbed the platter of calamari on my side and placed in between us and I offered her some.
My friend turned down my offer saying she's on a diet even though she's very petite. I proceed in devouring my food. I noticed noticed my friend shooting me an inquisitive look.
"Regina, please be truthful to me. Are you pregnant?" Tink asked.
I almost choked on my souffle and my eyes widen when I heard the question that slip out of my friend's mouth. I didn't know how to answer that. I didn't want to lie to my friend but I was also not ready to tell anyone about my pregnancy because of the risk and the father still not aware of it. I took some
before I answered my my friend, I quickly contemplated on my options.
"Yes." It came out like a murmur, I bet she didn't hear it.
"Can you repeat that for me, dear?" Tink inquired. I was correct she didn't hear me say yes to her question so I said, "I'm pregnant." It's little louder this time, and at this moment I know she heard it because her eyes softened and she gave me a grinning a smile. I smiled back at her but the smile faded almost immediately when she asked, "That's a great a news girl! How are far along are you? Does your man knows about this?" With a frown, I shook my head.
How can I tell Robin that we're having a baby when I know that I hurt him so much and I don't know if I could still have him back. I'm not even sure if it is still right for me think that he's still my man.
With that, we ate our meal in silence. Occasionally, glancing to each other. I can see the concerned look on my friend's face. It felt like she wanted to ask me a lot of things but being very cautious because of my condition. And I thanked God that she wasn't asking me anything yet becauase I know that Tink is very inquisitive. She likes to put her nose on almost all of my business, our business. When we finished our meal, she paid for our meal and told me that it's her welcome back treat for me.
While we were waiting for her card to return, she asked me, "Are you ready to tell me what happened?"
I thought of saying no, but I know I need help to get him back. So I said, "Yes. I want him back as soon as possible and I need your help Tink. What I did was so huge, I can't fix it alone. Let's go to my parents' house. I'll tell everything when when we get there. I'll tell Whale to cover your shift today." So we drove separately to the house.
When we reached our destination, the only people in there were Johana, Granny, and Gepetto. Granny is the head of all our helpers and Gepetto, her husband is our go to guy when we need manly task in the house, he can be our driver, gardener, carpenter, just ask him and he'll see if he can work on it.
Gepetto greeted us before we can enter the house, "Hello lovely ladies! Don't you have lives to save today?"
"Well, we do but there are two more important lives we have to save as soon as possible." Tink answered.
When we entered the house, we saw Granny and Johana in the kitchen. Granny was instructing her to do the grocery shopping that afternoon. We didn't bother them anymore and headed upstairs to my room. I changed into comfortable clothes and also gave Tink some comfortable clothes to change into because I know that things will get tough when I start talking in little while.
"Are you comfortable?" I asked Tink.
"You know I'm always comfortable in this house, it's like my second home. And I should be the one asking you that. You know we can have a nice afternoon and not worry for a while. I won't push you to tell me everything today, especially with your condition. You can tell me whenever you're ready." Tink told me with a very obvious concerned look.
"I already told you, I'm ready. Let's just get this over with. I really want to fix everything with Robin. I need you to help me. You've been there since day one, you're the reason for the existence of our relationship Tink." I informed my friend.
"Okay, sit here," patting the space in the bed "and tell me everything. And Let's get your soulmate back for you and this godchild of mine." She said with a wink and smile, trying to lighten up the mood in the room.
Sitting beside my friend in my queen size bed, I started telling her what happened.
December 16, 2016
It maybe just a normal day for some, but for me, for us rather, it was a special day. It marked the fifth year of our relationship. Our morning started with a special breakfast in bed. My boyfriend is very good at his work but he's also a good cook, he knows how to make my favorite breakfast which is consist of super fluffy apple pancakes, with fluffy and creamy scrambled eggs and fresh fruits on the side, and of course hot cocoa with whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon on top.
He placed the food on the bedside table and peppered with light kisses that started from my forehead, I opened my my eyes when he kissed me on my lips. "Good morning babe." I said. "Good morning babe, happy anniversary." He replied.
"Is that our breakfast that I am smelling right now?" I asked.
"Oh that, that's your breakfast in bed your majesty." My boyfriend said.
I looked at him, confused why it was just my breakfast so I asked again, "My breakfast, huh? And where's yours?" with a frown painted in my face I added, "You know I don't like eating alone, especially when I know you're here."
I saw a grin formed in my boyfriend's face. "My breakfast is this, this, this, this, and this." While he saying those words, he started kissing me again from my forehead, to my cheeks, to the tip of my nose, to my lips, to my chin, and down to my neck. I stopped him before he gets lower, I pulled him back and kissed him again, this time with more passion, heated but not sloppy. I broke the kiss and said, "I love you. " And he said, "And I you, my queen. Eat your breakfast and get ready. I have so much in store for us today."
"Eat with me please. It seems like you prepared enough for us." I said and we ate the breakfast he prepared.
We got into the shower and dressed up for the day when I heard my phone rings and I answered. "Hello. What's wrong?" I asked. "Okay. I'll be there in 20 minutes. In the meantime, keep him awake." I added.
"What's wrong babe? Do you need to go to the hospital today?" Robin asked me.
I nodded said, "Yes babe. Emergency operation. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay babe. You go save the life of that man. I'll be here when you get back. Don't worry about the plans for today, I got it." He said and kissed me. Before I left I said thank you to him and went to the hospital as soon as possible. I hate it when my patients die on my hands, and I won't let that happen to this man.
The man almost died but thank God that I have other magnificent doctors backing me up for that operation. We were able to revive the man's life and after three hours in the operating room, the man was safe and resting in his room. His family thanked us for saving their loved one. I went to the changing room to remove my bloody scrubs change into clean clothes. When I entered my consultation room, I saw Chinese take out, my comfort food with a note, "Hello my love, I know you did your best today and you deserve this no matter what the outcome of the surgery. I'll see you at home. Love, Your Soulmate/Savior." It was an exhausting operation so I munched on my Chinese take out and when I'm done, I immediately clocked out went back to our house. It was already one the afternoon, I entered our house and silenced welcomed me. So I went straight to our room and saw Robin sleeping. I changed into my house clothes and laid beside him and in a split second, as if it was a reflex move, he put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him, nuzzled his nose to my hair, and I knew he's awake.
"I'm sorry I ruined your plan for us today." I said.
"It's okay babe, I cancelled my plan for this afternoon but we still have tonight. And now we have enough time to ourselves in this bed." He said suggestively.
"What do you want to do in this bed at this beautiful afternoon?" I asked, this time I'm facing him already.
"Well, I originally planned to sleep and cuddle with you all afternoon but then you're so irresistible, why don't I just show you? You know I think I didn't have enough for lunch." He said with a smirk on his face and wiggling eyebrows.
I giggled as he started kissing me and saying i love yous in between those kisses. He snaked his hands under my shirt as I did the same his and in seconds our shirts were gone. His kisses went from my neck to my chest, with his skillful hand, he unclasped my bra started cupping my breast. I moaned in pleasure and started moving my hand to the waistband of his boxers. I felt his member getting harder and when I gripped it, I heard him groan. "Someone's eager." I said. "For you, always." He said. He moved one of his hands down to my panties and heard him say, "Seems I'm not the only one. God babe, you're so wet." And I moaned a little louder when he played with my love bud. "Babe stop teasing please. I want you. Make love to me, now." I said panting in my husky voice. I felt him smirking and said, "If the lady insists." He pulled down his boxers and I saw his member standing in full attention. In split seconds, I felt him entering my womanhood. Even after five years in this relationship, it still take me sometime to adjust to his glory. I rolled my his hips and he started thrusting, slow and full of passion. I moaned in each thrust. I was craving for more so I said, "Babe harder and faster please." And he complied. I felt myself being dragged to the edge with each gruttal thrust , "I'm close." I heard him say, "Come for me babe. Let go." A few more thrusts, I cried out in pleasure as I reached my climax and after three or four thrusts he also reached his and spilled his seeds inside of me. He kissed my forehead and pulled himself out of my womanhood. Coming down to our highs, he pulled me to his chest and we drifted to sleep.
I was awoken by the sound of shower. I pat the side of his bed and knew that I wasn't dreaming. So I pulled myself out of our bed and went to the shower. I joined my boyfriend and after thirty minutes of showering, we prepared ourselves for our anniversary date.
It was a very cold night but I didn't care. So I wore a blue dress with a zipper running from the back to my side of the waist until to the middle of my thigh giving the dress a small slit. I put on my make up, usual smokey eye and red lips and I let my hair hair down. I slipped into my black stilletos and trench coat, not caring if there'll be a pile of snow outside.
I went down and saw my boyfriend already dressed in his forest green button down shirt, tucked in his neatly ironed black slacks, and shiny black leather shoes. He cleaned nicely, trimmed his scrufs and put some gel to his hair to remain in place. Before reaching the last step, I went closer to the stairs to assist me and whispered, "You look so gorgeous." I smiled and said, "You clean up well." We left the house went to the restaurant that he had reservation.
In the Misthaven, the waitress named Anna assisted us to a closed door room and left us alone. After a few minutes, our food arrive. We ate our lovely dinner and before it's time for dessert, it excused myself to go the powder room. While walking to the powder room, I heard someone calling my name. I didn't turn around because I didn't know if I was the Regina that the man was calling so I went straight to the room and redo my make lipstick. When I left the room, I immediately regret my decision. I should have stayed inside of it. I stood in the entry way, frozen on my place, eyes wide open and lips slightly parted.
"Regina." He said.
After a minute of silence that felt like eternity, I finally conjured my voice to speak, "Daniel."
The man that left me several years ago with no proper goodbye. The man who shattered my heart into millions of pieces. The one whom I tried to desperately forget all these years. The man that I was hoping to return but did not. And now he's here, standing in front of me. Am I dreaming? Is the universe playing a prank on me? Why just now? Impeccable timing, good job with that. It's our fifth year anniversary and out of nowhere my first love, the one who I believed my true love was, is here! Standing in front me. Pretending like nothing happened several years ago.
"Earth to Regina? Hello?" He said while snapping his fingers in front of me, and added "You know, you haven't changed a bit. I can still read you."
"No Daniel! I have changed a lot! I have changed because of you! Because you left me! You left with no warnings, with no explanation!" I said angrily but whispering because I don't want to cause a scene and make Robin leave the private room and come looking for me.
"Regina, please,-" He pleaded while holding my wrist. I cut him off, "No Daniel! You don't get to plead and play the victim role! You left me! Do you realize how hurt I was? How broken I was?"
"Please Regina, let me explain." He said, I looked into his blue eyes and saw many emotions.
"I can't right now Daniel." I said and walked past him and headed to the private room where Robin was patiently waiting for me. But before I went inside the room, I put on my mask. I don't want Robin to be bothered by the ghost from my past. I have to deal with this mess alone. He already saved me, it's time for me to save myself.
I entered the room with a smile on my face, we ate our desserts in silence, content of occasionally glancing and smiling at each other.
A/N: Hello! Here's the third chapter of this story. I italicized the flashback part. So that means Regina's starting to tell Tink the happenings of the past three months. It is incomplete, it's just the start of the drama in Robin and Regina's life together. I hope you stay tuned for the next chapters. The next chapters might include both Robin's and Regina's POVs. It might take 1 or 2 chapters to complete the flashback.
Changed the rating from T to M because of the little smut. Hahaha
Again, reviews, whether positive or negative are welcome. So feel free to leave one :)
