A/N: I am so so so happy with the follows and favorites I've gotten. Makes me wanna post a new chapter every day, and I'm really sorry about the delay with this one. We have had an ice storm and the internet went out, and I have been very sick as well. I would also like to give credit to chrmdpoet for giving me the food idea for Emma's favorite food. She is such an inspiration. Anyways, here is chapter three Gonna be pretty fluffy!
It was six o'clock on the dot, which meant it was time for Regina to start getting things ready for the evening she had planned. She went into the kitchen and pulled out the bag of red rose peddles she bought from Belle, who had taken over her father's business, The Game of Thorns.
Regina went to the front door and started to scatter them around in the foyer and made her way to the dining room and laid them across the table. She also made a trail of the flowers up the stairs and into her bedroom and across the bed. Then she went into the master bathroom and threw the remainder around the floor and tub.
Next Regina got out the cinnamon scented candles she bought. Apple was her favorite scent but Emma loved cinnamon, and tonight was about Emma. She also got out the little black candle holders she bought and also set them all around the floor, dining room, the bedroom, and along the huge garden tub in the bathroom.
As Regina was doing this, she was thinking back over to the past year of her life she spent with the blonde. A huge smile appeared on her face. When she looked at the clock it was nearly 6:30, which meant it was time for her to get ready and go pick up dinner.
Across town Emma was going on to Mary Margret and David about how she didn't know what to get Regina for their anniversary.
"Maybe you could get her a nice necklace or something darling." Snow told her daughter.
"A necklace? Really mom. No. This is Regina we are talking about. She deserves more than a piece of jewelry." Emma said
"How about a nice evening out around town then? I don't think Regina is much of the present type anyways?" David tried.
"That's a great idea, but I'm gonna do something even better! She is gonna love me for this." Emma said excitedly.
"What is it?" Snow asked
"Not telling. It is going to be surprise. Plus, you can't keep a secret anyways." Emma told her
When Regina got home it was 7:45. She didn't have much time left. With a quick flick of her wrist she lit all of the candles downstairs. She went into the dining room to set the table and then she made her way to the kitchen to start unpacking the food she picked up. She heard the doorbell and she felt butterflies in her stomach.
When she answered the door, there stood Emma, dressed in dark washed tight jeans, a nice shirt, and that red leather jacket she always pretended to hate but secretly loved.
When Emma saw Regina her breath was taken away. Regina was in a blue dress and of course black stilettos, the dress showed a little more cleavage than usual and Emma knew this would be an amazing night.
"Do come in dear." Regina said.
When Emma stepped in, she took the view of the house in and smiled. The rose peddles were beautiful and she smelled cinnamon. This was the most amazing thing anyone had ever done for her.
"What is all this for?" Emma asked, a little choked up.
"For you" Regina said, pulling her into a hug and kissing her deeply. "You are so beautiful and I wanted you to know how much I loved you."
"I love you too." Emma said kissing her on the cheek. "Are we not eating tonight? I usually smell food. And I don't smell food."
"Yes dear we are eating. Go sit in the dining room and I will bring you your food." Regina laughed.
Regina brought in a plate of food and Emma's eyes almost bulged out of her head. On the plate that Regina had set down in front of her was two beefy 5-layer burritos from Taco Bell and some french fries from McDonalds.
"Regina, what is this?" Emma said with a smile.
"It's your favorite meal my dear."
"But you hate all this stuff?" Emma asked questionly.
"I do, but you love it and I love you, so I will suck it up and eat it with you this one time only."
"You're the best." Emma said
"I love you too dear."
They sat around and ate and talked for a while. When they were done Regina cleaned up and sat back down at the table handing the blonde a class of cider.
The blonde downed to cider in one sip and went over to where Regina was sitting and scooped her face up into her hands and kissed her deeply.
"What was that for?" The brunette said, frowning as the blonde pulled away.
"Because I love you."
"Why don't we go upstairs? I have a few more things in stored for you." Regina said seductively.
Regina got up and walked towards the stairs. She didn't even bother to turn around and look, she knew the blonde was behind her. Once they got up the stairs Regina flicked her wrist, which blew out the candles that were down stairs and lit the ones in the bathroom and the bedroom.
Emma stood in the door way as the brunette disposed of her clothes and made her way to the bathroom.
"Are you just going to stand there all night dear, or are you going to join me for a bath?
Regina said as she turned around.
Emma took in the view of a naked Regina standing in front of her in the middle of roses and candles. She looked so beautiful. Emma just simply nodded and started to remove her own clothes.
By the time Emma made it to the bathroom Regina was already in the huge tub that was filled with bubbles. Emma got in slowly curled into the woman who was waiting for her.
"How did I get so lucky?" Emma asked.
"Dear, I believe it is I who is lucky to have you."
"We are both lucky." Emma said kissing Regina.
Emma went to straddle Regina in the tub to take things a bit further but Regina stopped her.
"Do you not want to?" Emma asked confused with a hurt look on her face.
"No dear, of course I do." Regina said kissing Emma again and pulling her into a tight embrace. "Just not right here. How about we wash up and go to bed… or not go to bed in our case." Regina said with a smile and small laugh.
When Emma and Regina were done sharing a bath they both made their way to the bed. Regina was straddling Emma and kissing her. She ran her tongue across Emma's lips. Emma opened up and their tongues battled for dominance. Regina pulled back just for a moment.
"Your beautiful" She said and leaned down to kiss her once more. She moved to her neck then to her collarbone back up to her lips diving back in.
Emma wanted to beg Regina to touch her but she held back knowing that Regina wasn't in any hurry tonight.
Slowly Regina slid her hands up her thighs and teased her opening just a little. She went down taking a hard nipple in her mouth, sucking and pulling, kneading the other with her hand. Emma raised her hips pressing hard against Regina.
Regina moved away making a path downwards to the blondes awaiting heat.
"Regina…" Emma moaned.
Regina spread Emma's legs out earning a moan from Emma as she clenched the sheets. She lifted her hips offering herself to Regina. Regina dived right in snaking her tongue through the wetness, swirling around her clit. Then she slipped two fingers into the blondes entrance.
Regina worked her fingers into the blonde faster. Thrusting harder and harder, each time owning a louder moan from the blonde.
Regina continued her work until the blonde exploded. She looked down at the woman between her legs and screamed her name as she rode out the end of her orgasm.
For awhile Regina just laid there, on top of the blonde. Loving the feeling of their naked bodies pressed against one another.
"I love you so much Emma." Regina said kissing the blonde on the cheek.
"I love you too." Emma told her.
When Emma tried to roll Regina over she was stopped.
"No Emma, you don't have too. I wanted tonight to be all about you. Not about me or what I want."
"Are you sure?" Emma asked. To be honest, she wanted to be able and return the favor to Regina but she was tired. And it felt nice for the whole evening to be about her.
"I'm sure darling."
"You know, no one has ever made a whole night about me. No one has ever made anything about me. Except you. You bought and ate my favorite food, even though you don't really like it, look at how beautiful this room is with the rose peddles and candle lights, you really outdid yourself Regina and I don't deserve any of it, I don't deserve you." Emma said.
"Emma, you deserve all of this and more. You are so amazing and you except me for who I am, past and present. I wish I could make every night like this for you. I would suffer through a meal like that every night if it meant that I was spending it with you. You are my heart and soul."
"I love you"
"I love you too."
The both just laid there, cuddled into each other's arms.
"Emma?" Regina asked quietly.
"Yeah babe?"
"Will you move in with me?"
"I thought you'd never ask." Emma said kissing her girlfriend.
Regina laughed, so happy that her life was better than perfect right now. "Really?"
"Yes Regina, really."
They kissed for awhile and then settled back down.
"You know what I think my favorite memory of this past year has been?" Emma asked.
"And what would that be dear?"
"Our first date."
"I think mine would be whenever you asked me on it. You were so surprised when I said yes. Little did you know at the time I was planning on asking you the next day. You beat me to it."
Emma was standing outside of the mayors house extremely nervous for what she was about to be doing. Henry was staying the Charmings that evening and here Emma was about to ask Regina out on a date.
Emma knocked on the door, waiting for an answer.
"Miss Swan, may I help you?" Regina asked as she answered the door.
"Okay so look, I'm a nervous wreck right now so I'm just gonna come right out and say it. Regina I like you, a lot. And I really would like to take you out on a date. Before you say no just know that.."
"Yes."
"What?"
"Yes Miss Swan, I will go on a date with you."
"Really"
"How many times do I have to say yes."
"Okay, well uhmmm, okay."
"Would you like to come in? I have dinner in the oven."
"Yeah… okay.. thanks Regina."
"I was so shocked that you even said yes." Emma said laughing at the memory and herself for being so nervous.
"You had taken such good care of me on our first date, even if it was a secret at first."
That Saturday Emma appeared on Regina's doorstep at 5:00. She knocked on the door and waited for Regina to answer.
"So is what I'm wearing appropriate for where you are taking me since you would not tell me a single detail." Regina said smiling when she opened the door.
Regina was wearing a black slacks and red blouse with a long black jacket. As where Emma was wearing skin tight jeans, a t-shirt and a sweater since it was cold out.
"Don't you have anything casual Regina?" Emma laughed.
"Are you asking me to change into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt dear?"
"That depends, do you even own a pair of jeans?"
"Why don't you come in while I go change"
When Regina returned she was in a pair of skinny jeans and a different blouse than before. One thing that hadn't changed were the black stilettos the brunette wore.
"Better?" Regina asked.
"Much, although would it kill you to not wear heels everywhere you go?" Emma laughed as she asked.
"Yes, it would dear."
Emma couldn't help but stare in awe. She was so happy that Regina had given her a chance to take her out.
"Are we ready to go dear? Or are you going to just stand their gaping at me?" Regina said in a playful tone.
"Yeah, uhm, let's go!"
It had taken them thirty minutes to get there and when Emma pulled up onto a hill Regina just stared in confusion.
"We walk from here." Emma told her.
"Excuse me? We what?" Regina asked.
"It's not long. I warned you about wearing heels."
Regina rolled her eyes and got out of the car. They were walking side by side when Emma decided to do something a little risky. She took Regina's hand into hers. Emma wasn't normally one much for hand holding, but it was different with Regina. She smiled to herself when Regina didn't pull away.
When they finally walked up to the empty field Regina stopped in her tracks at the site before her. There was a single table with two chairs in the middle of the field. The table was surrounded by lanterns and candles. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Emma.. this is.."
"I'm glad you like it." Emma cut her off before she could finish.
They sat down and enjoyed a nice meal together. They talked about Henry and the things going on in Storybrooke. When they were done Emma got up and asked Regina to follow her.
When Emma stopped they were standing in front of a lake.
"Wanna take a swim?" Emma asked.
"I didn't bring a bathing suit though dear." Regina replied.
"I brought one for you." Emma said with a grin.
"That's okay." Regina said.
"You are getting in that water Regina."
"No , I don't think I am"
"Come on, I will be here with the whole time. I won't let any of the fishys get you." Emma teased.
"Is this your way of trying to see me in a bathing suit dear?" Regina teased back.
"Maybe, even so, you are going in."
"Fine, give me the bathing suit."
Regina grabbed the two piece- she should have known that's what the blonde would have chosen- and disappeared behind some trees to change.
When she reappeared the blonde was nowhere to be found.
"Ohhhh Miss Swan, come out come out wherever you are." Regina yelled.
She decided to play along with Emma's little game and made her way to the small dock and stood there. She was about to call out again when out of nowhere Emma jumped out, picked up Regina and jumped into the lake.
When the two came up from the water they were still in each other's arms.
"EMMA! WHAT IS.."
But the brunette was cut off as Emma leaned in and kissed her. The kiss was soft at first. But it quickly heated up when Regina plunged her tongue into Emma's mouth. The y kissed for several minutes. Regina wrapping her legs around Emma in the water. When they finally pulled away from each other, they were both out of breath.
"That was.." But Emma was the one cut off this time as Regina dove right back in for another kiss.
"That really was one of the best nights of my life" Regina said, snuggling even further into the blonde.
"I'm still glad that is one of our secret hideouts." The blonde replied laughing. She then kissed the top of Regina's head
"It's been a while since we've been down there. How about we go down next weekend? For our anniversary? Henry can stay with your parents for the weekend." Regina asked.
"That sounds absolutely perfect." Emma said.
"I love you darling."
"I love you too babe."
And with that, both women fell asleep, a tangled mess of limbs.
