Mary Margaret entered her home as quietly as possible, trying not to wake up her roommate. She put her purse on the table and hated to have to end the day, but at least she had another date to look foward to.

"Shit!" she gasped and jumped, when Emma snuck up behind her. "I mean shute, sorry"

"You don't have to apologize to me for cursing."

"You scared the hell out of me, Emma. Jesus Christ Almighty" She put a hand over her heart. Her heart was beating fast- but to be honest Mary Margaret wasn't sure if it was because of Emma scaring the wits out of her or that goodnight kiss Peter gave her out front just moments ago. "Warn me before you sneak up on me like that, please."

Emma laughed. "Sorry about that. She sat leaned against a chair. "So how'd your date with go?"

"It went….pretty great" she smiled and took her coat off. After hanging it up, and taking her shoes off she sat at the table.

"Define great." Emma raised a brow.

"Well, he didn't check other women out and he paid this time." Mary Margaret said thoughtfully.

"This time?" Emma picked up.

"Remember that night when I found you in your car looking for places to stay?"

"Yea, I think so." Emma bit her lip, partly remembering. It felt like so long ago, but in reality is wasn't that long. Thank God Mary Margaret offered her a place for her to stay, who knows where she would be.

"Do you recall when I told you that I was on a date ? And about how bad that date went and the guy didn't even pay? Well, the guy I was talking about….that was Peter."

"Eww seriously?" Emma's eyes narrowed.

"Yea…which is why I didn't see him again and then we slept with each other…and well you know the rest. So…yea." She folded her arms. "But tonight…he was polite and funny and just wonderful haha There were a few times, though, when he was acting like the other annoying Peter, but I brought my A game. So it wasn't a went to the gallery and then he took me to dinner and we walked around town, talking and laughing. It was better this time."

"Sounds like you had fun"

"A lot…" she paused. "Except when we bumped into Regina…and that was a monster in itself."

Emma groaned. "I know how you feel; I always get a headache when I talk to that woman."

"And she was with Kathryn and David." Mary Margaret continued.

"Awkward" Emma frowned.

"I know right!" Mary Margaret exclaimed. "And the worst part is that David and Peter had this macho staring contest."

"No way!" Emma chuckled. " Please tell me took pictures"

" Of course not. They were cold towards each other. Peter got…more possessive over me and he was stand off-ish towards David, David was hostile and jealous- which he had no right to be, Kathryn was chatty freaking Cathy and oh so perky and Regina was…well Regina and let me tell you she was not super stoked to see Peter and I together."

"Why would she be, she doesn't want anyone happy and for some reason especially to Henry though, your Snow white and Regina is the Evil witch so it would make sense... I'm sorry that had to happen to you."

"It's alright. It was for the best that David could see that I'm moving on , though."

" You lasted longer than I would have in that kind of situation."

"What would you have done?" Mary Marageret rested her chin on her hand and looked up with curiosity.

"Well after I beat the crap out of the guy that hurt me I wouldve , if I was in your shoes, I would've bitched Regina out- after I quit because if I'm going to be unemployed its going to be on my terms, tell Kathryn to open her eyes and stop trying to get David to love her because it's never going to happen-even though he chose her and David…well he would be on the floor cringing in pain and then I would walk away with the biggest smile ever."

"Remind me never to piss you off." Mary Margaret said and laughed that was interrupted by a large yawned.

Emma laughed. "Tired?"

"Yes and no. I ate a lot; over eating always make me feel tired and lazy" she leaned back.

"Is he a good kisser?"

"Emma.." Mary Margaret turned a light pink.

"It's a serious question, its' not a bad one. I'm not asking whose top or bottom-

"Emma!" Mary Margaret's face went from a light pink to a bright shade of red .

"I'm just asking. Girl to girl" Emma shrugged.

Mary Margaret twiddled with the ring on her finger.

"On a scale from 1-10?...50. Fireworks." Mary Margaret said and smiled.

"Nice." Emma smiled back. " Are you guys gonna keep seeing eachoter?"

"I really like him so yes. We have a date tomorrow night- er tonight haha its morning already. But if everything goes like how it did on this date, on the next date, I think it will show how serious he and I are about whatever is going on between us." she laughed. "Which is I don't know. But I want a serious relationship- that I know."

"No regrets?" Emma asked?

"No regrets" Mary Margaret assured her.

"Henry told me about how you told him where I was during the opening and how you covered for him. Thanks" Emma said.

"No problem. Did you tell him about the pens?"

"He loved them, thanks for that again."

"Don't mention it" Mary Margaret smiled. "Hey did anyone call for me?"

"No" Emma said quickly her face full of suspicion. Emma didn't like to keep things from Mary Margaret but what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her. If Emma told her the truth it would ruin things so she kept the little incident at their house earlier, to herself. "No one stopped by either."

"Ok…" Mary Margaret looked at her carefully.

Emma pushed herself up. "I'm going to head to bed."

Mary Margaret stood "Me too"

"See you in the morning" Emma gave her a soft smile.

"Yup" Mary Margaret said and walked to her room. She stopped at the entrance of it and turned to Emma, once more.

"We made a bet tonight."

"What sort of bet?"

"That he somehow someway he would invite me to his place tonight for sex."

"Did he?"

"No" Mary Margaret smiled to herself. "When I tried to give him the money for winning he didn't take it. He said that being with me tonight was more than enough. He said it was a 'bet worth loosing'."

"I'm happy for you" Emma said sincerely. "Be happy and keep moving on. You have a chance for something great, it looks like. Don't pass it up because that's what David did with you- he passed you up and I'm sure tonight he's realizing it more than ever- don't do that to yourself."

"I won't" Mary Margaret nodded. "Night Emma"

"Night Mary Margaret"

Hmmm so what little incident occured while Mary Margaret was out on her date with Peter? Could it have been Graham or Regina? Or perhaps a very jealous David? Find out in Chapter 10 :) Thanks for Reading!
