Chapter 3

-Emma's POV-

Shit did last night really happen she just blew into my life like a tropical storm and I've loved every minute of it I feel this magnetic pull towards her a connection that is unexplained you would have to go through it yourself to understand but that woman is not like any woman I ran across she's so quiet but yet it seems like she's screaming, screaming to be heard she's like a mirror covered with condensation I desperately want to wipe it off and let her know I see her I understand her , mid thought my mother walks through the door I almost fall off the couch she startles me so

"Emmie! wake up sleepy butt!" She says loudly making her presence known

I groan loudly and take the pillow from the couch and put it over my head "mooooom what are you doing here" I look at my phone "its 8:30 am"

"I had to see my lovely daughter this morning you don't miss your mother!?"

I climb back on the couch "of course i do but why don't you ever go bother August at his house!?"

"i already did he's in the car he's talking on the phone! now i need to go use the bathroom i'm gonna use yours" I see her going towards my room and it was like tripping you feel yourself falling but you can't do anything to stop it

"WAIT MOM NO!" but before I could stop her my mother comes out of the room with a strange face

"Emmie why is there a naked girl in your bed?…Emma answer me"

Her sharp tone makes me snap out of my daze "just a friend mom!"

"Just a friend? or just a lover?"

"gross mom don't call it lover it's not the 70's any more!" Lover? Was she serious I could tell this conversation was gonna get severely uncomfortable quick!

"answer me Emma"

I sigh "alright well she's my friend her names Regina we met a couple of nights ago she came to the bar last night she was drunk so i brought her back here"

"so you guys can hit the skins?"

See i knew it "what? hit the skins? what the hell mom thats gross i brought her back here cause she didn't want to go home!"

"well go get her up she's here so i'm going to cook her breakfast too…..now Emma"

"alright geez" I go into my room and shut the door "Hey Reg!" I begin to poke her

"mmmmm" she grumbles and rolls over

"Reginaaaaa! wake uppp!"

Her head pops up and she peaks at me with one eye open "what…the… how did i get here….." She slowly looks down at her self says in a whisper "and why am i naked…oh no did we…..?"

I cant help but laugh she really is cute when she's confused "no no we didn't all though you did try"

Suddenly her 'oh shit' expression begins to form on her face "ohh god" she covers her face with her hands "i'm never drinking again"

"yeah well you should get dressed my mom's in the living room"

"oh god did she see me?"

I laugh again "ohhhh yeah"

"well thats just grand!"

"we'll be out here waiting" I leave the room

"and where are my clothes!" she calls after me I shake my head and laugh

"i told her and she's getting dressed happy now mother?"

"of course…..now tell me about her do you like her?"

"god mom she's straight and she probably has a boyfriend"

"what does that have to do with anything if she's meant for you she's meant for you nothing should get in the way"

"mother i just met her like 3 days ago"

"so? your point?"

"god your impossible" just when I thought it couldn't get worse August walks in

"hey little sister you left work early have fun?"

"oh so you know about her little friend in her room?"

"you took her home? god you move fast!"

These two are impossible! "nothing happened!"

"yeah right…." My mother begins to whisper" i found the girl naked in her bed"

This is completely mortifying "MOTHERRR!"

"look at you! back on the scene! its about time you put yourself back out there!" August adds his two cents which was most certainly not needed

"I hate you guys…"

Regina makes her walk of shame out of the room we simply stare at her she finally speaks up "Hello….I'm Regina pleased to meet you guys"

"your so polite sweet heart it's no need where practically family i've already seen your tush " my mother says making everyone in the room extremely uncomfortable

"mom please…."

"Hi Regina it's nice to meet you i'm Emma's big brother August"

"yes the one with the bar you have a great establishment"

"well you know i try"modesty was never really my brothers thing

"well i should be going….."

"oh i don't think so your here now your gonna have breakfast with us"

"oh I don't want to impose"

"don't worry sweetie you're not I'm Mary Margeret by the way its such a pleasure to meet you"

"Likewise" oh god just kill me now this can't be happening its not like the situation isn't already awkward enough I'm not going to say this situation cant get any worse because it always does

"well are you a good cook?" My mother asks Regina

"not really no" she looks down ashamed

"well today is a great day to learn come on honey" she grabs Regina by her hand and leads her kitchen

I sigh and slump on to the couch "mom seems to like her"

"yeah so do you " I look at August and he's smiling

"Come on August don't start please"

"you know you like her Em why don't you make a move…"

"because i'm afraid i'll jinx it" Getting involved with a woman like Regina is a complete crap shoot and I'm not sure if I'm ready to gamble with my heart again

"you dont know that Emma"

"yes i do now lets just drop it please"

"fine whatever…." Thank God.

"So Regina what do you do for a living?" My mother asks as we sit at the table eating the breakfast her and Regina prepared

"I'm a accountant"

"ohhhh very impressive! do you live near here? "

"well not exactly i live in Lenox Hill"

"this isn't exactly your neck of the woods is it?"

"not exactly no"

"so do you have a boyfriend?"

"Mommmmm! Come on will you cut it out" I chime in this is getting too personal

" No its alright really" Regina says and looks at me "um nothing serious no"

"you're such a pretty girl" my mother starts to rub Regina's cheek "why aren't you settled down?"

"I don't know just haven't found the right one yet"

"well you look young you have plenty of time"

She lets out a laugh that was music to my ears "i wish my mother thought like you "

"why does she think differently?"

"lets just say every man i brought to meet her she calls a caterer and calls the church"

"I told my children along time ago to do what ever makes them happy its their life any way just like its yours"

"thanks for the pep talk mom….." I say through clenched teeth the woman's hungover last thing she needs is a heart to heart

"hey! she's a good girl Emmie!"

"Emmie?" She laughs

"Yeah I gave both my kids nick names"

"Come on mom please enough with the nick name stories" August says

" oh hush Auggie you see what i have to deal with… i like you Regina so you come by anytime so we can talk! get my address from Emmie!"

"of course i would love that"

My mother pats Reginas hand and smiles "okay good"

"okay i think its time i take Regina home"

"awe come on don't be such a buzz kill"

"mom come on you've already occupied half of her morning"

"actually my phone is dead and i really should go get my car from my parents house…but i promise you Mary Margaret i will be back "

"you better or i'll come find you " my mother laughs

"it was really a pleasure meeting both of you" Regina says getting up

"hey August can i use your car to drive her home…?"

"yeah sure " he tosses me the keys "but you two stay out of my back seat"

"ha ha your hilarious come on Reg lets get out of here"

We ride in silence for most of the ride i honestly had not the slightest clue of what to say to her so i quickly thought of something "so you have a good time last night?" God that was a dumb question she threw up most of the night !

She laughs lord help me "yeah i guess you can say that"

"oh yeah i know you did"

She begins scratching the back of her neck looking as if shes debating to ask me something "when exactly did i take off my clothes?"

"as soon as you got there you started stripping saying how hot you were i tried to get you something lighter to wear but bout time i came back to you you were in bed under the covers asleep"

"where did you sleep?"

I laugh "don't worry i slept on the couch"

"really? wow your so polite" she laughs as well

"yeah well i don't sleep in beds with passed out drunk chicks" I said in a joking tone

She pretends to feel special "my hero…..so what else did i do?"

" you threw up in a trash can"

"i think i remember that god thats what that taste in my mouth was "

" yeah and we also danced on the side walk "

She lets out an embaressed laugh "yeah i vaguely remember that…."

"you were a real class act last night"

"i can only imagine look i'm sorry i put you through all this i know i was a handful last night"

" no its totally fine you were my entertainment for the night you looked like you actually had fun"

"thats weird i haven't had that in a while my job consumes my entire life…."

"stick with me kid i'll show you a whole new world!"

"…here give me your phone…..come on i'm not gonna photobomb you "

I reach into my pocket and hand Regina my phone "why do you need my phone do you need to call someone?"

"nope…." She starts typing " i'm putting my number in your phone" she hands me back my phone

I read the number "you want me to call you?"

"sure i've never had a diverse friend before you can put any name you want i don't care"

"okay" i think of a cute nickname I could call her I finally settle on "Reg"

"pull in right here" she points at possibly the largest house on the block I couldn't speak for a second

I pull up to the house finally finding the words "holyyy shit this is your house?"

"no my parents house"

"You were one of the rich kids at your school weren't you?"

She laughs "at my school everyone were the rich kids"

"you were one of the kids who would bump the nerdy or uncool kids like me in the hall way"

She gives me a shocked expression but chuckles after she sees I'm joking "i did no such thing!" She playfully hits me

"yeah yeeeaaah is that your car?" I gawk and point to the brand new BMW "fucck thats nice!"

"it was a birthday present"

"are you freaking kidding me all i got for my birthday was a bottle of tequila and a gift card to forever 21…wow we really are from different worlds"

She leans her head back on the head rest and gazes at me sending chills down my spine "not that different" she whispers "….well i better go" she reaches to open the car door but stops and looks at me "hey Emma i know i tried to kiss you last night….."

My heart drops to my stomach "oh shit you do.?….well do you remember what i-"

She interrupts me "yeah i do…it was sweet i want to be friends with you Emma…who knows maybe even more…" she reaches and caresses my cheek "but this is all new to me so you gotta give me some time okay?"

"okay"

"I'll see you around" she gets out of the car and closes the door

Hopefully sooner rather than later and slowly pull into the street and drive away
