I do have a plan in my mind of how this is going to go. So it may seem like it's going to be slow, but just bare with me
Thank you all! :)
Chapter 8
Regina led Emma to a table at the side of the shop, away from the front window to avoid the chance that people from the group would them and away from the back of the café were there was a very affectionate couple.
"So how have you been?" Regina asked
"Er, yeah not too bad" Emma shrugged not really looking at Regina. Not wanting to push it further Regina opted for what she thought would be a safer option.
"So Miss Swan what is it that you do?"
"Erm, nothing at the moment, I've hit a bit of a trouble with my job"
Great Regina, nice job. You're asking all the right questions. Regina cursed herself internally before Emma broke the silence.
"What about you?"
"I'm a lawyer"
Emma smirked "of course you are, so I was right then"
"About what?"
"You being pretty well off"
Regina pursed her lips slightly smiling.
"You even dress like a lawyer" Emma joked
"Just because I like formal attire does not mean that I am well off"
"But you are though?"
"Actually it's more my parents - well mother now"
"Oh?"
"It's my parent law firm"
"Ah so you're following in your parents footsteps"
"Something like that" Regina took the opportunity to take a sip of her drink, this was not something that she wished to discuss with the blonde yet. If ever
"How long have you been at the group for? You know helping out and stuff?"
"Er, around 2 years, give or take"
"Wow, that's a long time". Emma was clearly pushing for more information, information that yet again Regina wasn't ready to share.
"Yes it is, it's something I enjoy to do, you meet a lot of interesting people"
Emma laughed "you can say that again"
The two of them chatted easily for the next half an hour about various things. Regina discovered that Emma lived in a town called Storybrooke that was around ten minutes away, she lived with a couple, Snow and David and had lived there for around 5 years now with a brief break in Portland last year.
"So where did you study law?" Emma asked
"Yale"
Emma smirked "of course you did"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Regina questioned, although she was smiling at the blonde still.
"Well you're not going to go to a normal place like Missouri, Washington or Penn State. Nope you're going to go to a posh one, top of range, the elite of the elite. The-"
"Alright, I get it" Regina rolled her eyes at the blonde. "Did you study anywhere?"
"Mainly on the streets"
Regina looked at Emma not sure if she was joking or not. Emma smiled at the look on Regina's face.
"I mean that I more learnt on the job with everything, I had a more hands on experience"
"Sometimes that's the best way" Regina smiled at the blonde, who returned her smile.
Regina glanced at the clock it was 6:55, where had the time gone?
"Sorry but we better get going"
Emma looked up at the clock too
"Wow, that went quick, time sure flies when you're having fun eh?"
Regina smiled slightly at Emma who was grinning widely at her, causing Regina's heart to skip a beat.
The two women thanked the woman behind the counter and left, walking down the road towards the building that held their meetings.
