Hi! New chapter dedicated to Sparkles21_ on her birthday! Happy Birthday! :)

Hope you enjoy the chapter, as usual italics are flashbacks. We're bumping up to an M rating.


Regina cautiously opened the front door, conscious that her mother would become aware of her sneaking out, she was already grounded because of the situation with Mary Margaret earlier that day, not to mention what she had said to her mother on the way to school. Cora Mills could not find out about her leaving the house.

She closed the door behind her and spotted Robin's car on the opposite side of the street waiting to pick her up, she was just about to cross over and get in when she heard a voice from behind her. "Where are you going?"

Regina groaned and turned to see her pathetic step sister stood at her open bedroom window staring down at her, "stalker much?" Regina scoffed, "it's none of your business."

"You're not allowed out tonight, mom said you were grounded."

"There's something I have to do," Regina spat, annoyed that she'd been caught by that brat again, she knew she was going to have to bribe her stepsister to keep her mouth shut, not that she was even capable of doing so. Mary Margaret was the worst person at keeping secrets in the world.

"Regina you aren't allowed out, come back."

"No, I need to go, what is it going to take for you not to tell on me?"

She watched as the younger girl thought it over, obviously trying to come up with something before grinning, "I want your sweater."

"Fine, consider it yours."

"And, you need to get me a date with David."

"David?"

"David Nolan, you know, the guy you sometimes hang around with."

Regina sighed and rolled her eyes, she knew that was going to be a piece of cake, in fact, it was barely a chore, she knew that David had been crushing on Mary Margaret forever, but he was just too chicken to ask her out. "Sure, I'll message him. Now, you have to swear that you won't tell a soul about this."

"Deal, pleasure doing business with you, sis."

"Snake," Regina murmured before glancing at Robin's car again and deciding to continue walking on the side she was on, not letting her stupid step sister see her with him. She saw him watching her and he must have got the memo because he sat up in his seat and started the car, driving in the opposite direction. Once she was around the corner, she perched on the wall and waited for him to pick her up.

His car rolled to a stop in front of her and she climbed into the passenger side, "hi," she whispered, leaning over and pressing her lips to his briefly.

"Hi, I thought I'd drive around the block so she didn't see."

"I thought as much," she nodded, looking down at her hands as she played with the hem of her sweater. "I don't really know what to say."

"I haven't been able to get it off my mind all day," Robin confessed, reaching over and taking one of her hands in his, "I don't want to lose you, but I can't just give up on this job."

"I understand that. Maybe we could just keep it a secret, no one knows about us anyway, they don't have to find out."

"That isn't fair to you Regina, you should be with someone who can meet your friends and family."

"I want to be with you and no one else, Robin. I don't care that you can't meet my friends, this has nothing to do with them. I want to be with you and only you," she cupped his cheek lovingly and leant in, stealing a kiss from him, her other hand falling to his upper arm. Before she knew it, she was climbing over the middle console, pushing his chair back and straddling him. "I… I love you, I was just so scared to tell you before," she whispered, tracing her fingers across his cheek. "I cannot lose you now, Robin. You don't have to say it back, but…"

"I love you too," he replied, kissing her passionately as his hands ran over her waist and sides. Her fingers went to the hem of his shirt as she lost control of her senses, he stopped her, pulling back from the kiss, "but we can't do this Regina, we shouldn't sleep together whilst you're my student and I certainly don't want our first time to be rushed in my car."

"We can wait, I can wait, we don't need to sleep together, Robin. I'll wait for you as long as it takes, but I don't think I'll be able to live without kissing you for that many months," she whispered, running her fingertips over his soft lips.

"I can't either, I suppose we can still hang out, we just can't be intimate."

"I think I can manage that," Regina agreed, there was no way that she would be able to keep away from him, she knew that the only other alternative was to keep them a secret, they had no other option. "Right now though I am sneaking out, so I need to head home before my mother finds out and has my head."

"I'll drop you off."

"Maybe I'll be better walking."

"No, I don't want you walking alone at night."

"Babe, I'll be fine," she stated, leaning in and pressing her lips to his one last time, "I suppose I'll see you in class, Mr Locksley."

"Don't that's just weird," Robin chuckled, "but yes, I suppose you will."

She grinned at him and stepped out of the car, waving him off before heading back to her house. It was going to be hard sneaking around, but it would certainly be worth it, he would be worth it.


Regina smiled at Robin as the car pulled into a parking space outside his apartment, she was still nervous, but at the same time excitement was running through her veins. They had both been waiting so long for this moment and she couldn't believe it had finally arrived, they were finally going to be together and now it wouldn't be seen as something taboo, they wouldn't be breaking any stupid rules.

Robin looked over at her as he turned off the ignition and the soft music that had been playing in the background cut out. He offered her a reassuring grin before opening his door and heading around to her side to open hers for her. "Milady," he held out his hand for her and she took it eagerly, stepping out of the car as they headed to his front door.

Once they reached his apartment door, she watched as he went to unlock it, "aren't you supposed to carry me over the threshold or something?" she giggled nervously.

"I'm pretty sure that's after a wedding, but if you want me to carry you…" he bent down and swiftly lifted her into his arms, carrying her bridal style into the apartment.

Regina squealed like a child and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding onto him tightly, "I was joking!" she laughed, taking the opportunity to attach her lips to his neck and kiss the skin just below his ear in a way she already knew was capable of getting him turned on. Her kisses soon turned into sucking as her fingers traced the collar of his pristine white shirt.

"Hey Dracula," Robin grinned, putting her down gently, resulting in her mouth popping off him, making a smacking noise in the process. He locked the door behind them and secured the apartment before turning to look at her, "god that dress, you've been driving me crazy all night."

Regina bit down on her bottom lip as she glanced down at the pretty white prom dress she was wearing, she'd been hoping to make an impact on him with that dress and seemingly she had achieved her goal. However, he hadn't been the only one affected, seeing him in that suit had almost been her undoing, "the feeling is very much mutual. This suit makes you look so handsome," she breathed, moving closer to him and running her fingers across the pale blue tie he was wearing. "Your stubble is also unbelievably sexy when paired with your finery."

She looked up into his eyes as her touch trailed up to his jawline where she stroked his stubble, allowing her fingertips to brush over the hairs that were unexpectedly soft. She'd touched his face hundreds of times and knew what his facial hair felt like, but sometimes it still surprised her how much she liked to just touch it, touch him in general. She traced down his neck to the area where she had been kissing earlier, circling the red mark that was forming there.

"Have you given me a love bite?" he groaned, she could tell he was pretending to be annoyed at the fact by the glint in his eyes.

"Maybe," she shrugged leaning in to lick over the place she had been kissing. His hands grabbed at her waist, holding onto her as she pulled back to look at him once again. She didn't know what was making her feel so bold, maybe she was overcompensating for her nerves.

"Do you want something to drink?" Robin asked, taking her hand and leading her to the kitchen, only letting go of it to open the fridge and see what he had to offer her. Regina slipped up to sit on his kitchen counter and watch him as her feet swung off the edge. She didn't really feel like a drink, she just wanted to finally be able to do what they seemed to have been waiting an eternity to do.

"Just a glass of water please."

"One glass of water coming up," he took a glass from the cupboard and filled it using the water dispenser on his fridge before passing it to her. She took it from him and sipped the cool water steadily as he poured one for himself. "How are you feeling?"

"Excited, but somewhat nervous too," Regina admitted truthfully, sure she was comfortable with Robin, it was just all the things she had heard about a woman's first time. She just hoped that she enjoyed what was to come as much as she wanted to. She took comfort in the fact Robin knew what he was doing, he had experience and she was sure that he would look after her.

"Don't be nervous," he stated, moving in between her legs as his hands caressed her waist, "I promise that everything will be alright." He leant in and kissed her sweetly, one hand coming to gently stroke her cheek, "I love you."

"I love you too," she whispered, nuzzling into his hand as her lips pressed to his again and they slowly deepened their embrace. "I have been waiting way too long for this moment," she moaned, sliding off the counter and grabbing his hand, "I don't think I can wait anymore." With that she led him towards the bedroom, pulling him along with her. When she reached the door, she turned to look at him and bit down on her bottom lip, "I'm ready Robin."

"You sure?"

"Positive, I've never been surer of anything in my life."

"You have to promise if you don't like something to tell me. If you want to stop, tell me. Okay?"

"Yes, though I doubt I will want to stop." Reaching out she pulled him towards her by his tie before beginning to loosen it and taking it off completely. They had come so close a few times to just forgetting about the stupid rules and being with each other properly, but Robin had always been the rational one, he'd always stopped it before it went too far. Now though they didn't have to worry about that, he was no longer her teacher which meant they could have each other in the way they had been wanting for months.

Once she'd gotten rid of the tie, his jacket was the next item of clothing to fall to the floor, she licked her lips as she pulled his shirt out of his pants and slowly began to undo the buttons as Robin leant forward to kiss across her neck. It wasn't long before his shirt was joining the ever-growing pile of clothes. Regina was about to go for his pants when his hands stopped her, "you first," he demanded, making her turn around so he could move her hair over her shoulder and unzip her beautiful dress.

Her breath caught when she felt his fingers skim across the base of her back and down over the curve of her ass. Once the zipper was down, he turned her around and moved his hands to her shoulders, staring into her eyes, he pushed the sleeves down as she assisted him by wriggling them free from the tight lace. As soon as her arms were free the dress fell from her body pooling on the ground below her, leaving her stood wearing only a lacy pair of white panties.

She hadn't even worn a bra because the straps would have been visible through the transparent waist, instead, her mother had ensured that the seamstress put some kind of padding in the chest area of the dress. Now though, stood before him she felt extremely exposed, especially when her nipples tightened due to the exposure to the cool air. Her arms came up to cover her breasts only for him to stop her, his hands pulling hers into his as his eyes washed over her. "You're stunning," he breathed, leaving her hands by her waist so that he could explore her body some more.

When his fingers stroked over her breasts she almost lost her balance, arching into him, her body pleading for more. She could already tell from the way her body was reacting to him that she was going to have a wonderful night, although she had a feeling that Robin was going to put her through the paces. He'd been a man starved of sex for almost six months and if it was torture for her, she knew that it must have been sheer hell for Robin to be with her and not be able to engage in anything sexual.

He swirled patterns over her skin, circling her nipples as he caressed over the side of her breasts, making her eager for more. However as soon as he had touched her he was pulling back, before lifting her up off the ground and lying her down on the bed. Only then did she notice the rose petals he'd scattered all over the room, she smiled and touched one that was lying on the bed, stroking it and relishing in the silky-smooth texture. She averted her gaze from the flower and turned to look at him, watching him as he removed the rest of his clothes, leaving only his boxers on as he moved onto the bed.

"Regina do you have any idea how bloody beautiful you are?" He asked moving up her body, one of his hands found her breast and he squeezed it softly earning a gasp from her. He quickly found her mouth and kissed her, allowing his fingers to trail down over her hip and stroke her inner thigh, his lips followed his fingers as she closed her eyes and he took hold of her panties. "Can I?" he rasped, searching for her permission before he removed her underwear.

"Please do," she nodded, her eyes opened as she watched him peek her lacy panties down her legs, leaving her fully naked. She shuddered a little, feeling incredibly nervous about what was to come, she reached out, her fingers winding through his short hair. "Robin," she whispered.

Robin looked up at her giving her a reassuring smile as his hand found hers, "you're gorgeous Regina, absolutely stunning." He rubbed his thumbs over her hips before allowing his hands to move in between her legs, running his fingers gently along her folds. Her breath hitched and he attached his lips to her inner thigh, kissing her skin whilst his hands became bolder.

When his fingers touched her clit, she let out a low moan and pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. She watched as his lips grew ever closer to where his hand was and she ran her fingers through his hair. Her other hand began to roll her nipple, making her core tighten with need, she needed his mouth to replace his fingers, she didn't know what it would feel like but she imagined that it would be sensational.

"Regina are you okay with…"

"Gods yes!" she nodded, "more Robin, please."

He listened to her instructions and placed a kiss against her clit before running his tongue over it. Regina gasped as her grip on him tightened and he shuffled to make himself more comfortable, hooking her thighs over his arms as he buried his face into her sex. She felt her hips buck into him, searching for more of the beautiful stimulation he was providing her with.

She hadn't realised just how talented he was with his mouth until that very moment, she could scarcely breath as the pleasure flooded through her veins. Her legs came up to wrap around his body, holding him against her as he sucked, licked and lightly nipped at her bundle of nerves. "Oh god, Robin," she breathed, feeling her stomach tighten as the pressure built inside her and she grew closer and closer to the edge.

One last flick of his tongue over her clit had her bucking against him as pleasure ripped through her and she cried out her release. Her body tensed up as she shook and tried to regain her breath, her fingers dropping from Robin's hair as her legs went limp and she closed her eyes.

"Fuck, Regina you look so beautiful when you come, you have no idea how sexy you are," he kissed his way up her body before reaching her lips and allowing her to taste herself in his mouth, "you taste so good! I swear I'm addicted to you already."

She whimpered and brought her arms around him, finally opening her eyes to look into his, "you are extremely talented with your tongue," she smiled dreamily, her fingers moving back to play with his hair again. Having one orgasm from him and being that close to him gave her a new sense of bravery that she hadn't had before, she felt more confident in herself and what was to come. "Now I think it may be time for you to prove to me just how talented you are with other parts of your body."

"Well I certainly agree with you on that one," he grinned, biting down on his bottom lip in that sexy way that made her want to kiss him until she was breathless. His fingers traced down over her stomach before dipping between her thighs again and stroking her clit gently, "I want to make sure that you're soaked."

"Lube," she burst, she hadn't meant to say it out loud and watched Robin suppress a laugh as he stared at her. "Do you have any?"

"Sure," he chuckled shuffling from the bed and opening the bottom drawer of the nightstand to take out a new bottle of lube which he threw to her. She caught it and looked at the bottle, not having the slightest clue where to even start with it, should she put it on herself or on him?

When she glanced back up at him she saw that he was about to take his boxers off and sat up, moving onto her knees as her hands went to his, stopping him in his tracks, "I hardly think its fair that you get to take my underwear off but I don't get to do the same to you," Regina tutted.

"Be my guest," he grinned, holding his hands up in surrender as he gave her full control.

Her eyes met his briefly before she took hold of the waistband and rolled his boxers down, almost getting hit by his cock as it sprung free from the constraints it had been held within. She looked at him for a moment, trying to decide what her next move might be, she wanted to repay the favour after what he'd done to her, but she didn't think she was quite brave enough to take that step yet. Reaching out for the lube she poured some into her hand before glancing up at him again, "can you show me what you like?"

Robin nodded, taking her hand gently and leading it to his cock, making her wrap her fingers around the shaft. She gasped at the feel of him under her skin, he felt somewhat how she'd expected him to, it wasn't as though she hadn't felt his erection pressed against her when they'd made out in the past. This was so new to her that she found herself feeling rather overwhelmed, slowly she began to move her hand as Robin's closed around hers and he helped her to pick up a steady rhythm.

Her thumb ran across the head of his cock, swirling over the top of him, catching the precum that had formed there. Robin groaned and leant forward to capture her lips with his, kissing her deeply before pulling back and placing his hand on hers, "baby, I want to be in you when I come," he breathed, resting his forehead against hers as he tried to catch his breath.

"Yes, please, I want you to come inside me," she admitted before pulling back and feeling her face flush with embarrassment, she hadn't meant to say that out loud, it sounded so crude, but it was the truth, she wanted him to finish inside her.

Her comment must have gone straight to his cock because it pulsed in her hand and his hands went to her hips as he moved her back to lay on the middle of the bed, her hand falling from him in the process. Robin crawled up her body, his hands squeezing her and stroking her before his mouth plundered hers, taking control of her. She was quite happy to submit to him.

She could feel his hard length pressed against her leg and her core tightened at the sensation, "I love you so much," he breathed, his fingers stroking across her cheek as he kissed her gently before tracing his thumb over her swollen lips.

He moved to pull away but she grabbed him pulling him back to her, "where are you going?" she asked, a confused expression playing on her face.

"I was just gonna go get a condom."

"Don't," she shook her head, "I don't want you to use one. I'm on the pill," she stated confidently. She wanted her first time to be proper and that meant not having any barriers between them.

"Regina are you sure?"

"Positive," Regina nodded, reaching her hand down to stroke his cock as the other felt around for the bottle of lube she'd discarded earlier, she knew she was already wet, but she was determined to make sure that it was as painless as possible. All the people she'd asked had different takes on how their first time felt, some said it was painful and others said that it wasn't, she wanted it to be the former.

She poured some of the lube into her hand and made sure that Robin's dick was slick and ready to slide inside her. Once she'd done that she met his eyes and smiled shyly, "Robin, I need you inside me now. I've waited so long to finally have this and there is no one else I would want to give my first time to."

He nuzzled his nose against hers as his hand surrounded his cock and ran it through her folds a couple of times, teasing her entrance with the head. The slowly he positioned himself where he needed to be and pushed steadily inside her, breaking the barrier and causing her to gasp at the mixture of pleasure and pain. Her arms wrapped tightly around him as his eyes searched hers, "are you okay? Did I hurt you?"

"No, you didn't hurt me," she breathed, trying to regain her composure and come to terms with the fact that she and Robin were virtually one person right in that moment he was sheathed inside her. She could feel how tight she was, her walls snugly gripping to his shaft as he also struggled to catch his breath. "It feels nice."

"You're so tight baby, so good," he groaned closing his eyes as he pulled back a little before thrusting all the way back in again. Regina's mouth fell open at the feel of him inside, she could feel his every movement and it felt spectacular.

Then he was moving, starting agonisingly slow, brushing the spot inside her that made her see stars; their hands were connected on the pillow behind her head as he rocked into her, their foreheads touching. It was the most intimate and loving encounter she'd ever had, the way he looked into her eyes with pure adoration took her breath away. They were both making little noises but she had a feeling that by the time she was ready to come again she would be waking Robin's neighbours.

He picked up the pace a little, sliding in and out of her quicker, it was silent apart from the noises made by the two of them, the little groans, whippers and moans, not to mention the slapping of skin coming together in the heated throngs of passion. She felt her eyelids flutter as he hit a certain part inside her, one of his hands slipped down to her upper thigh, brushing across it, before moving to her knee and bringing her leg up allowing him to enter her at a new, deeper angle. Her breath caught and now she couldn't stop herself from crying out on every thrust, it was sheer perfection.

It was building and she and Robin were chasing it together, both seeking out their release, her grasp on his hand tightened as she fought not to close her eyes. His thrusts were sharp, hitting the target each time, made easier by her wetness, it allowed him to push inside her without resistance. "I'm close," she cried, as he pecked her lips lovingly.

"Me too," he groaned, closing his eyes for the briefest moment, his movement was becoming less control and increasingly frantic, she knew he was telling the truth about being near to his peak. Then his hand was rubbing her clit and she couldn't contain herself any longer, beginning to babble nonsense about him being amazing, that she was so wet, so close. It didn't even sound liked her, her voice was high, affected by their actions as she lengthened her words.

Her hips bucked against his as she arched her back, she felt her walls beginning to contract around his cock, squeezing him tightly as she spiralled out of control, into that place again, her orgasm consuming her whole body in a way she couldn't and would never want to stop. "Yes Robin, yes, yes, oh god yes!"

"Regina," he breathed, "I'm…"

"Come with me Robin," she whispered, her fingers scratching the back of his head. Then he was there too, coming inside her, she couldn't care less, it felt amazing, her whole body was shaking as he pumped into her a couple more times before halting and dropping on top of her, making sure not to crush her as he held himself up on his arm, his fingers now running through her hair.

No words were necessary at that moment, she just listened to their breathing begin to even out, her hand gently brushing over his lower back. She closed her eyes, she was truly shattered, she felt his lips press against her shoulder and she smiled contently. "That was so good," she hummed happily, her fingers playing with his hair as he moved to look at her.

"You are perfect," he smiled, tenderly kissing her lips, "how about we go and share a shower?"

Regina nodded, no longer having to worry about feeling awkward being naked in his presence, she was confident now, more confident about her body than she had ever been. "That sounds nice," she quipped, feeling extremely tired all of a sudden, she hadn't slept all that well the night before worrying about prom and losing her virginity. Now though she realised that both worries were fruitless and both events had been better than she could have ever hoped for.

"Let's go then," Robin stated, lifting her naked body from the bed, he wrapped her legs around him and allowed him to carry her to the shower, excited for her first time sharing a shower with someone.


Regina woke to the smell of pancakes drifting through the air, a happy smile played on her face as she cuddled closer to the pillow, not wanting to leave the bed even if food was on offer. She reached out and grabbed Robin's pillow before bringing it to her and smelling it, her head burying in it. Everything around her smelt like Robin and she couldn't get enough of it, sleeping in his bed had been wonderful, especially being able to spoon with him. The way he held her from behind and his face in her hair had all been so perfect.

"You're awake," his voice sounded from the doorway, she looked up seeing him stood there wearing only his boxers, leaning against the door frame.

"Hmm, someone tiered me out last night," she smiled, stretching out, causing the quilt to slip down, revealing her bare upper body. She ran her fingers over her breast, not even bothering to adjust the covers as she watched his gaze fall to the no longer concealed flesh.

"I would apologise, but I'm not sorry about anything we did," Robin grinned walking over to her and perching on the bed beside her. He dropped his head and surrounded her nipple with his mouth, flicking his tongue over it before looking up at her, "couldn't resist."

Regina chuckled, reaching out to run her fingers through his hair as she sat up in bed, "do I smell food?" she asked, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth. She hadn't realised just how hungry and thirsty she actually was, she needed a drink and a nice breakfast.

"That you do milady, in fact, I came to wake you up for pancakes."

"Mmm, I can't wait," she pressed a soft kiss to his lips before slipping out of bed and finding his discarded shirt lying draped over a chair. He must have tidied up a little when he woke up because the room had certainly been a lot messier before they went to sleep. She pulled his shirt on and fastened the buttons, she didn't even bother to find her underwear before heading into the kitchen-diner, swaying her hips as she went.

She spotted that he had set up the table beautifully with a massive bouquet of pink peonies in the centre, "where did you get these?!" she asked in awe, leaning in and smelling the flowers, humming at the strong scent.

"I thought you might like them, I went out and got them yesterday but we were rather busy last night," he quipped coming in behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist, his lips pressing to her neck before he let go and pulled the chair out for her, "breakfast is served."

"Why thank you," she smiled sitting down and looking at the wonderful breakfast he had prepared for her, "this is so amazing." Regina picked up on of the strawberries from the side of her pancakes and took a bite, "so yummy," she hummed, reaching for one of the pancakes and spilt syrup down her fingers, she licked it off and heard Robin make a noise from across the table, "what?"

"Nothing," he shook his head, shuffling in his seat as he ate some more of his own breakfast.

"It must have been something," Regina chuckled, making sure she got the last of the syrup off her hands, Robin was staring at her again and she narrowed her eyes at him, "do I have something on my face?"

"No, you're just so sexy," he groaned, "you're making me want to just pick you up and take you back to bed."

"Maybe after breakfast," she winked.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Robin asked, pouring some coffee into her cup.

"Like a new woman."

"You're not hurting or anything are you?"

"No, I'm not, I really enjoyed what we did last night. So much so that I think we might have to have another session before I leave."

"I'm sure we can definitely fit in another session before you leave."

"Mmm, yes please."


A couple of hours later after another satisfying round of sex, Regina woke to the sound of Robin swearing, she groaned and reached out for him, "what is it?" she groaned sleepily, her fingers wrapping around his wrist as she opened her eyes to look at him.

"Don't freak out," he cringed as he hurried out of bed, "you need to get up and get changed right now!"

"What? Why?" she moaned, cuddling into the pillow.

"You are late! So, so late!"

"Why?! What time is it?" she asked, suddenly remembering that she had to be at Kathryn's for when her mother came to pick her up with her grandmother. If she were late her mother would find out that she had lied to her and she would be in so much trouble that her life wouldn't be worth living, no one lied to Cora Mills, she didn't stand for it. She could wash away any thoughts of seeing Robin any time soon if she wasn't there. She would most likely be grounded for life.

She snatched up her phone from the bedside table and saw that it was ten to twelve, her mother was scheduled to be there for twelve and Robin lived at least fifteen minutes away from Kathryn's. There were also about five missed calls from Kat and over ten texts asking her where the hell she was. She dialled her number and waited for her to answer.

"Where the fuck are you Mills?!"

"I slept in," she groaned, springing out of bed and looking for her panties, realising that she had left her change of clothes at Kat's, she'd scheduled for time to get changed once she arrived, but that wasn't likely, she didn't even have enough time to get there. She hurried to Robin's wardrobe and grabbed a long white shirt, pulling it over her body before going grabbing her shoes and slipping them onto her feet. "Robin, we have to go!" she yelled.

"Wait, Regina, what did you just say?!"

Regina stopped dead as her eyes widened, she had almost forgotten that Kathryn was on the other end of the phone. She didn't know that she was with Robin, she had no idea what her boyfriend's name was, but she knew that Mr Locksley's first name was Robin and Regina had a funny feeling that her friend had just caught her out.

"Fuck Regina! Are you… no fucking way!"

"Shut up! Kathryn shut it! I'll explain later."

"Oh my god! I can't believe it! You and Mr L!"

Regina simply put the phone down and ran her hands over her face, she couldn't go out dressed as she was, but it was either that or wear her prom dress. She figured the shirt was the better alternative.

"I think Kat knows about us," Regina whispered as she headed to the door and watched Robin buttoning up his jeans before pulling some shoes on. She felt herself beginning to panic, to the extent where she could barely breathe.

"We'll deal with it later, you need to get back, why don't you try ringing your mother, I can drop you off at home instead," he stated, running his hands up and down her arms, "baby you need to calm down a little. Sweetheart, it's okay," he whispered, "don't worry, its okay. Kathryn is your best friend, right? She's not going to judge you, it's going to be fine." He pressed his lips to the top of her head as his arms surrounded her, "you just need to keep your cool. Call your mom and tell her that you'll get dropped off."

Regina nodded, feeling a little calmer than she had been, he was right about Kat, it could have been a lot worse. They headed to his car and she dialled her mother's number waiting for her to answer. When she didn't Regina shook her head in defeat, she knew that it probably meant that her mother was driving, although she had hands free, she rarely answered whilst she was in the car, not if she didn't deem it serious. "Can you just take me to Kat's please?"

"Sure."

As Robin was pulling up at Kat's Regina noticed her mother's car parking on the opposite side, "fuck," Regina groaned, "I need to literally run through the back gate."

"You sure?"

"Yes," she nodded, leaning over and pecking his lips, "thank you for the most wonderful night and I promise I will call you later. I love you," she kissed his lips yet again.

"Love you too, good luck."

She smiled at him one last time before slipping out of the car and hurrying as quickly as she could through the back gate without being spotted by her mother who was talking to her grandmother in the passenger seat. As soon as she was through the gate she was met by her group of friends who were almost bouncing up and down.

"Regina! You're here!"

"Oh my god! You scared me half to death, I thought I was going to have t come up with some kind of mega-lie to ward off your mother!" Kathryn groaned, wrapping her arms around her, "your mother scares me."

"I know," Regina nodded, hurrying up the stairs to Kats room and finding her bag in the corner.

"So is that your boyfriend's shirt?" Emma asked, grinning at her as he bounced onto the bed and Regina pulled on some jeans before digging in the bag for a bra and a brown leather belt to pull the shirt in at her waist.

"Yes. I lost track of time."

"You mean you were too busy riding him?" Ruby winked as she came in, still wearing her wolf pyjamas and holding a cup of coffee.

"No, we fell asleep."

"How many times did you do it?" She asked, getting onto the bed and cuddling into Emma.

"A couple," Regina blushed, looking up to Kathryn who had an almost evil smirk on her face. Just then there was a knock on the front door and Regina knew that it was her mother. She straightened her hair out in the mirror before applying a little lip gloss and turning to her friends, "please tell me I don't look awful."

"You look like you have an afterglow," Kat laughed, "and you are calling me tonight to tell me everything."

"Yes, I will, but I need to go now," she stated, "thanks guys, I'll talk to you all later," she blew them a kiss, picked up her bag and headed down the stairs, seeing her mother waiting at the door talking to Kathryn's father. "Thanks for having me Mr Midas," she smiled sweetly, seeing the confused expression on his face, probably because he hadn't seen her at the party, she just hoped that her mother didn't catch on. "Hi mom," she grinned walking with her to the car, seeing her grandmother peering out at them with an ever-present scowl on her face.

"Did you have a good evening?"

"Yes thanks," Regina nodded, slipping into the backseat, "hi grandma."

"Good afternoon Regina."

She spotted her mother cast her a funny look in the mirror before starting the car and driving to the restaurant they were going to. Regina glanced down at her phone and spotted a text from Robin.

RL: Hope you're okay. I had the most amazing night, can't wait to see you again. Call me when you're free. Love you. xoxox

RM: I'm wonderful, I don't think my mother suspects anything and I know that Kat won't say anything. Can't wait to see you either. Can I come round at the weekend? Love you too. Xoxox

She didn't have to wait much longer for his reply and looked down eagerly.

RL: I have a work party on Saturday night, but I'm free Saturday day and you can have me all of Sunday. You can stay at my apartment if you want. Would love to see you. xoxox

RM: Yes please, I suppose I'll see you Saturday morning then. ;) xoxox

Regina smiled to herself and sat back in her seat, closing her eyes as she thought about her wonderful boyfriend. She loved him so much and she could barely wait to see him again. Her life was turning out to be brighter than she could ever have hoped.
