Hi guys! A little bit from all the characters in this one. Let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy! -hopelesslyhopeful7211

Cora spins on her heels and watches angrily as her daughter drags this blonde woman out the door. The door slams loudly leaving the fuming, older woman alone in Regina's apartment. Foolish girl. I gave her everything! Look at this lovely apartment, her car, and I got her that job at the museum. Without me she would have nothing! She scoffs and begins to clean up the mess on the floor. Does she really believe that that blonde bimbo can give her the same? I don't know if she noticed, but that girl does not look like she has anything going for her. She is definitely not good enough for my daughter. She ponders. I know, there's this lovely boy from the museum. He's strapping, very handsome, and has a good paying job. A real future. That will make her change her mind. This is a phase. She will get rid of that stupid girl. I just need to talk some sense into her. She finishes cleaning the mess and then heads out herself.


The next morning Regina wakes up in Emma's arms. She feels comfort being held, but then she looks at the clock. All her worries rush through her mind. It's almost 10:30. I have to run down to the front desk to pay for another night. I already missed my class today. I don't know if my mother is still in my apartment just waiting there. I have to at least wait a day. Oh my god, we didn't get a chance to put together the rest of that assignment and it's due tomorrow.

Emma opens her eyes and yawns. She sees the worry in Regina's eyes.

"Babe, are you okay?" Emma frowns and squeezes the brunette tight in an attempt to comfort her. She knows the answer. It's not okay. This is all my fault.

Regina sighs and buries her face into Emma's neck, "I don't know," she honestly confesses, "I'm just really worried". The sick feeling from last night arises again, "I have to go downstairs and reserve the room for another night. I just want to take some time before I go back to my apartment. I'm not ready to face my mother again yet"

"Okay babe," they pull apart and get off the bed. Emma grabs her wallet and hands Regina her credit card. "I can stay with you again if you want. I promise to be here for you". Her emerald eyes shine as she confirms her commitment to the brunette. I hope she doesn't resent me for all of this. I don't want to leave, but if it comes down to it... She shakes the thought. I just want her to be happy.

"I'll be right back," Regina plants a full kiss on the blonde's lips and heads out of the room.

Emma sighs. This is a mess. She continues to think. I don't have class until later. I really hope I didn't cause Regina to miss class. Fuck! I guarantee it, but she's just too nice to tell me. She pulls her hair in frustration. I need to start getting my shit together. I should look for a job. The rest of my school money isn't going to last much longer. I'll just start getting ready for the day now.

She walks into the restroom and jumps in the shower.


"Darling, did you ever hear back from Emma and Regina?" Belle asks Ruby concerned.

They sit together eating cereal before the day truly begins. Ruby responds, "No actually. It's not like Emma to blow this kind of thing off," she frowns, "Maybe I should give her a call."

She picks up her phone and dials the blonde. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. It goes to voice mail. "Hey, it's Emma Swan. Leave me a message. Or don't. Bye."

"She didn't answer" Ruby states in a worried tone. Belle frowns.

"There must be something wrong," Belle sits her spoon down and her brow furrows.

Not wanting to think the worst Ruby offers, "I have class with her later. If she's not there then I'll go check her dorm"

The other brunette picks up her spoon again, "I hope everything is okay"

"Me too," Ruby breaks eye contact and stares into her bowl of cereal.


"Emma!" Regina yells as she enters their room again. Is that water running? Oh, she must be taking a shower. I bet she looks so hot dripping wet. Her eyes roll in the back of her head in pleasure picturing the scene and what she wants to do to her. Oh my god, Regina! You can't think that! She smirks, aroused by her explicit thoughts. Well, maybe she needs help?

"Emma!" She knocks on the door of the bathroom.

Was she yelling my name? "Yeah! Regina?"

"Yes, dear, it's me. Can I come in?" she yells hopefully.

"Yeah" Holy shit! Did she say she wants to come in? I hope I'm not just hearing things.

The door opens and the brunette strolls in. She casually begins to remove her clothing. I was not just hearing things. Her glance grazes the other woman's perfect body. Oh my god! A pool of heat rises.

Emma slides open the glass door to the shower and the brunette hops in. The warm water feels amazing on her skin. Their eyes meet and Emma quickly notices the arousal in deep chocolate eyes.

"I just thought we could save water," the brunette purrs.

Emma giggles, "Babe, we're in a hotel. We don't have to pay for water"

"Taking care of the environment is very important, dear," the brunette smirks.

Regina's glance moves down the other woman's toned body. She wastes no time and pushes the blonde into the tile wall. She begins kissing her passionately and their hands explore each other's slick, wet bodies. Worry melts away from their minds. They break their kiss. Regina moves her mouth to one of Emma's breasts as the blonde moves her stance to thrust her thigh to meet with the brunette's center. Regina gently nips and sucks the other woman's nipple as she rides Emma's thigh. She quickly switches to the other perky breast needing attention. The brunette begins to use two fingers to tease the blonde's wet folds. Emma's breathing hitches. Regina releases the blonde's breast and they pull into another long, deep kiss. The brunette gives in and slips her fingers easily into Emma. The blonde moans at the contact. Regina creates a pulsing rhythm inside the other woman as she continues to gain pleasure thrusting into Emma's thigh. Their minds become numb. Nothing else matters except this moment. The rhythm of their motions increases. The blonde moans louder in the brunette's ear. The brunette feels Emma's walls cave in. A wave of pleasure rolls through their bodies.

Regina withdraws her fingers. The sticky, sweet scent remains. They collapse into each other. Their wet bodies fit perfectly together.

"Babe, I love you so much," the blonde genuinely expresses.

"I love you too"

They remain meshed into each other a few moments letting the warm water wash over them. They eventually pull away. Chocolate brown eyes meet shining emeralds.

"Do you need help with this?" the brunette grabs a bar of soap, grinning, and begins rubbing it on the blonde's back.

"Yes, of course," Emma giggles.


The two women exit the bathroom with damp hair. They get dressed. After a few minutes, the legitimate worries of reality come crashing back.

"I have class in a couple of hours. Can you take me?" Emma asks hesitantly.

"Oh, yeah, of course, dear," Regina contemplates her options on what to do the rest of the day, "I think I'm going to stay here today and try to relax"

"Okay babe," the blonde brushes the brunette's cheek and smiles, "You deserve it"
