I'm so overwhelmed but the response the first chapter had. So here is the second one. I'm not sure how long the fiction will be. When I started Magic Incident I wanted five chapter story but, one year later, I'm writing 24th. So, yeah.
Unbetad, so all mistakes are mine. I'm sending it to the beta right away but I wanted to posted so sue me.
Also, I don't own Ouat and Loving Annabelle just having impure fun with them.
I hope you like my own twist and take on the pool scene in the movie.
Enjoy!
Ten years ago
"You were very quiet today." Regina's voice caressed Emma's ears.
Emma was sitting in the library holding a book but not reading it. She needed to stay somewhere quiet and this was the ideal place.
The young girl lifted her eyes and saw her teacher smiling down at her. She smiled back.
"Yeah... I..." She shrugged not sure of what to say.
The Easter's holidays were coming up next week and for Emma meant she would be leaving the school to be with her family and play perfect for the cameras.
It's been two months since she first stepped into the boarding school and she grew to love this place. She was actually free here. If she wanted she could climb a tree, guitar in hand and play until she fell asleep on the branch. She could stay up late at night as long as she is up for classes in the morning. If she wanted she could write whenever and no one will call her weird or nerd.
Regina was cool dorm boss, as Emma liked to call her. She let the girls do almost everything with only one condition – it will not be excuse to fail in class or to be late for class.
Emma was okay with all of that and decided that playing by Regina's rules is awesome and it gave her the freedom she craved so much.
"I don't wanna go." She admitted finally looking up with pleading eyes at Regina.
Regina pulled the chair next to Emma's and sat on it, twisting her body so she could face the girl. "I know life is unfair and we are often forced to do things we don't want."
"But..."
"Nothing. That's all I have to say." Regina chuckled and shrugged.
Emma chuckled as well and her heart warmed at the woman's words because they were genuine. "I thought your job was to give me wise advices."
"Wrong. My job is to keep you out of troubles. Also out of harm."
Emma bit her bottom lip and lifted her eyebrow. "I'm the embodiment of trouble according to my mother."
Regina sighed. Some people just couldn't accept the different. They wanted everyone to be like the others. Because controlling the same people are easier.
She debated with herself for a while before reaching out and taking Emma's right hand in hers. The touch was simple and gentle but it sent waves of heat through their bodies.
"You... are w-who you are and it's p-perfectly normal." Regina managed to reassure Emma though her voice was low and husky. She had to fight the sudden jolt of arousal that was caused by touching Emma's hand.
Why a simple gesture could have such effect on me?
Emma smiled at her. How is Regina even real? Why can't her mother be like her? Why her father has to care more about the party than her?
"Thank you," she finally mumbled. Her cheeks were red and her ears were burning.
"I'm simply stating the truth."
"Yeah, but you didn't have to come here and talk to me." Emma met her eyes. "It's not job to make sure I'm emotionally fine."
"But I was worried." Regina blurted and put a hand over her mouth as soon as she realized what she had said.
Her eyes scanned the room locating only the librarian Belle sitting behind her desk and reading 'Beauty and the Beast'.
Her other hand broke contact with Emma's and went up to grab the cross she wore on a thin necklace. When her eyes found Emma's they were following her hand movement.
Emma swallowed hard and locked gaze with the woman before her. "Thank you for caring."
"Why my mother would still keep the tape?" Emma asked after a while when the tears had stopped and her face was in its normal color.
"She is your mother, that's why." Regina huffed looking through the window.
Emma's left arm curled up in a fist and hit the steering wheel startling the woman next to her. "Fuck."
As a result Regina only tightened her grip on Emma's hand.
"She could use it again and breaks us up again." Emma voiced their thoughts.
But what surprised Regina was how sure of their relationship's status now Emma was.
"Can't you use your mother's influence on Gold again?"
"I don't want to use it."
"Why? Don't you want to be with me?" Emma's eyes widen at this alternative. She had never thought this was an option until now. Maybe she was overreacting but her heart drummed against her ribcage wildly.
"It's not that." Regina assured Emma by meeting her eyes. "You know that last time he forced you to marry Neal in exchange for your mother not using the tape on me. If we go to him again..." She shook her head. "I can't imagine what he will want from us this time."
The possibilities are truly endless. Gold was known for his cruelty and it made Emma's heart clench.
"So you still want me?" Emma lifted her eyebrows.
"Of course I want you. I have no doubt in my mind that I will always want you." Regina leaned forward hating how high is the console, as the gear-lever came into contact with her stomach. Raising her both hand she cupped Emma's face and looked straight into the green eyes. "I love you. Don't you ever doubt about it."
The remaining distance between them was no longer there when Emma moved her head just slightly forward capturing Regina's bottom lip between hers. Regina moaned into the kiss and Emma smiled.
It was almost midnight when Regina heard water splashing. Someone must have fallen into the pool, she thought and jumped from her bed instantly. She quickly grabbed her robe, wrapping it around her frame and headed to the source of the sound.
But imagine her surprise when she saw Emma swimming in the pool. And a bottle of Jack Daniels opened, sitting silently at the edge of the pool.
Her legs carried her to the bottle but instead of grabbing it and throwing it she pulled her nightgown up and sat at the edge, letting her feet drop in the water. She swung them slightly as her eyes followed Emma's movements.
This is so wrong, her mind screamed while her heartbeat sped up. I should report her for drinking. Not watching her.
She is not that drunk, Regina concludes seeing Emma's hands pulling her over the whole length of the pool.
Suddenly Emma stopped and saw her audience. The girl's golden hair was now dark and damped from the water. She blinked rapidly to clear her image.
"Help yourself." She offered motioning with her eyes to the bottle.
Just then Regina noticed that the bottle wasn't that empty at all. Just the bottle's throat. Adding that to the fact that the pool is facing Regina's room... Emma wanted this to happen. She wanted Regina to see her.
"Were you waiting for me?" Regina smirked and her eyes followed the girl movements.
Emma walked on the bottom of the pool towards her and rested her elbows on the edge close to Regina's thigh. Green eyes focused on the dorm's building.
"Your room is on the second floor, fifth window from the left." She states confirming Regina's suspicions.
"Why are you doing it?" Regina looked at the water which was still moving, choppy from Emma's swimming.
"You are smart woman." Emma complemented her.
"You wanted me to catch you and report you. The punishment for drinking in school includes no family visitations even on the holidays. And tomorrow you are expected in your parents' house."
Emma spun herself, now leaning her back on the pool wall, her eyes gazing up at her teacher. "Is it working?"
Regina couldn't look at her. She was starting to feel too close to this girl for her liking. Emma was, slowly but steadily, getting under her skin. It was getting harder to say no to her.
"I like Jack," Regina admitted and took the bottle bringing it to her mouth. After sucking down two sips of the amber liquid burned her throat she wiped the remaining any trace from it of her mouth. She held the bottle in her lap while the blonde was getting out of the water.
Regina watched smitten by the way Emma's muscles contracted as she was pulling herself out of the water. It was even more exciting to see the water sliding off the toned body when Emma leaning her whole weight on her arms, spun around and sat by her.
Regina gulped.
Emma reached out and grabbed the bottle taking one big sip. "Mhmm, I like it too."
She was in very cut out pink two piece bathing suit. She had spent over two hours preparing her body for this and she was determined to get what she wanted.
They held each other gaze for quite a while. No one daring to make the first move. Until Emma dropped her hand to fall between their thigh and thus brush it slightly against Regina's clothed one.
"What is appropriate to do on a first date?" Emma steered the conversation in the direction she wants.
"Emma, don't go there." Regina cut her off. "You are young and..."
"I'm not confused, Regina." Emma made eye contact with brown eyes. "I am attracted to only females."
Regina took a deep breath to slow down her fast beating heart but in vain. She knew that it was not unusual for children of politicians to experiment. But she had also noticed how Emma was looking at her.
This was NO experiment.
And that made it ever scarier.
"What is appropriate?" She decided to go with the flow and see where Emma would lead her. After all she could be wrong.
"According to Belle it all depends on how cute and well-behaved the guy is."
"And what about Ruby?"
Regina knew that the three of them, being in a same room, were very close and talked a lot.
"I think Ruby is bi." Emma took a sip of the whiskey giving Regina time to accumulate the new information. "She kissed me the other night."
Regina sighed. She shouldn't allow this.
"Did you kiss back?" Despite her better judgment Regina's curiosity won. Or wasit something else?
"No." Emma's eyes drift to Regina's full lips. "I don't like her that way."
Regina felt warmth forming in her low abdominal. She wanted to convince herself that it was from the whiskey but she knew better. She grabbed the bottle, fingers deliberately grazing over Emma's.
If she had to be honest with herself Emma was stunningly beautiful young woman with sharp mind and bind-blowing body. And Regina was no prude. Regina was also not made of stone. She was hot-blooded Latina and her mind was now boiling from all the impure thoughts she had.
God, why the torture? She asked knowing all too well that answer would not come.
And it didn't.
"So do you think it's okay to kiss on first date?"
Emma's low voice pulled her out of her thoughts.
Regina threw her a look. "Did is not a date."
"Is it?"
Emma was pushing all her buttons and Regina was sinking. Deeply. Irreversible. With passion. She desired nothing more than to drink Jack straight from the valley between Emma's breasts.
There it is. She admitted it to herself.
Now she should get up and leave.
But no. She didn't.
She turned to her right only to meet green eyes gazing her with such intense desire that nearly knocked the air out of her lungs. She closed her eyes not wanting to accept the reality but felt the air around her move.
She opened her mouth and whispered, "Emma," as one last chance for stopping this madness but all resolve broke when her lips met Emma's.
Thin lips trapped her bottom lips and did nothing more than press. Just a simple press. But it was enough to make her moan and curse herself for reacting so eagerly.
Slender fingers came to caress her cheeks and ended up wrapped around her neck pulling her closer.
She gave in.
She moved her lips against thin ones.
For both women the kiss was the most sensual and erotic experience they have had. They were so lost in the feeling of each other's lips against their own, eyes shut, hearts beating fast, that it never crossed their minds that the red light of the pool's security camera was on.
Is it hot or is it Jack's fault? Or is it just me? Okay... Who is up for pool fricky frack?
