Regina was sitting on her desk, evaluating her student's works. On the table were a bunch of papers and a cup of coffee.

She was in her office since 6.30, it was easier for her to work there than at home. She had bought a Mansion at the edge of the town, the place was calm but it annoyed Regina a little.

It was 6.45 when the office's door was opened and a blonde young woman appeared.

Emma was wearing a pair of black jeans and a low-necked white shirt. For a few seconds Regina was speechless staring at Emma.

"Ms. Mills, sorry for disturbing you" Emma apologized.

Regina was able to collect herself "No problem Miss. Swan, I had forgotten about our meeting" Regina lied, she hadn't forgotten about the meeting, in fact she had thought about that since the moment the blonde left the office the day before.

"If you want I can go and let you work" Emma said with disappointment in her voice.

"NO!" Regina yelled. "I mean, there's no need of that" she corrected, regretting about letting her feelings show.

Emma smiled and sat in the chair in front of Regina's desk "Hm, I brought some poems of mine, if you want to see them of course..." the blonde said not looking at the brunette in the eyes.

Regina, however couldn't stop staring at Emma's green eyes. Then she realized that Emma had her hair pulled back and the memories of the night at the bar assaulted her. The was Emma talked at her, angry, ferociously, the way the blonde moved her body dancing with Killian without taking her eyes from Regina (stop that Regina!). The teacher forced herself to raise a hand and grab the papers Emma was giving her.

The poems were beautiful, Regina was amazed by Emma's talent. Every word she wrote seemed to have life, the poem seemed to sing in Regina's ears the most powerful love song.

"Emma, they are beautiful" Regina said sincerely and then she realized that she had called the blonde by her first name.

Emma realized that too and she was surprised about how sexy it was hearing her name from Regina's lips.

"Thank you Ms. Mills" she answered politely.

"Can I ask you a question?" Regina asked to a clueless Emma.

Emma nodded sightly "Of course".

"Why were you so sad the other day at the bar?" Regina remembered Emma's face that night when she arrived to where the blonde was, she seemed broken.

Emma was surprised by Regina's answer but she decided to answer sincerely "My parents began to argue with each other a lot lately, I was feeling down and Ariel took me to the bar to clear my mind" she said, it was not a lie, just a half truth.

"I'm sorry Emma" Regina said with a concern voice and she reached a hand to touch Emma's "I'm sure things are going to get better between them, when people like each other, they fight but they always get back to each other, they always find each other." she finished with a smile.

Regina's hand on hers made Emma feel warm inside and guilty about not saying the truth to the brunette "And.." Emma started.

"Yes?" Regina was still grabbing Emma's hand.

"And I had found out that the girl I liked was with someone else" she said fast without realizing that she was admitting to her teacher that she liked girls, something she had never even told to her parents.

Emma was in panic after realizing what she had done and she was ready to leave the room "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you that"

Regina was shocked, she had never thought about the possibility of Emma being gay, not after seeing her dancing with Killian.

Emma got up in a rush but a hand in her arm stopped her.

"Emma sit down, please" Regina asked gently smiling at the blonde.

Emma sat down still not looking at the brunette, she was so ashamed in that moment.

"Emma there is absolutely no problem with liking girls you know that right?" Regina asked without realizing that she still had her hand in Emma's arm.

"I know" Emma answered "But it's just..." she wasn't able to finish.

"Emma, what?" Regina was being very patient with Emma, despite the fact that her heart was betting like crazy inside her chest.

Emma took a deep breath "I didn't want you to thank that I'm a freak or something like that"

"Emma! I don't think you're a freak, I would never think that about you" Regina's voice was strong but warming.

"I know how you feel" Regina said regretting it immediately but she had started so she would finish it, she took a deep breath and looked at Emma in the eyes. The blonde was looking at her with a dizzy face.

"Three years ago I started dating Aurora" Regina let out.

Emma's eyes were wide open "Aurora, like Ms. Aurora the art teacher?"

Regina nodded "Yes, she had arrived to this college and we started talking and we started dating a few months after"

Emma was confused, knowing that Ms. Mills was gay and had dated with Ms. Aurora was too much for her.

"We were very discreet about our relationship, so no one knows, please don't tell anyone" Regina asked anxiously.

"Of course, you can trust me" Emma managed to say.

Regina nodded "Well, as I was saying, we dated for a while and then her family found out and it was a nightmare. She is younger than me as you know and things got out of hand. Eventually we broke up" she finished.

Emma was shocked "I'm sorry" was the only thing she was able to say.

"Don't worry, well all that to say that people will always judge the ones who are different but that's not the end of the world, you need to keep your head up"

Emma was full of gratitude towards Regina "Thank you" she said and without thinking about what she was doing, the blonde leaned in and kissed her teacher softly on the lips.

Regina pushed her away "Don't do that again Emma" Regina said immediately.

Emma was so ashamed and confused "I'm sorry, I didn't, I just..." and she ran out of the office leaving a breathless Regina behind.
