To the Snowing fans in general, don't worry, next chapter will be a fluffy-snowing one.
Now, regarding the guests' reviews:
Raquel: definitively :)
Guest below Raquel's review: The POVs will be mostly MM's, but Emma's will appear more often than they used to in the first 10 chapters. It's mostly because of the moments she and Regina will share in which MM can't be there.
Guest no2: I love them too! I'm glad you are enjoying!
Guest no3: That was the original idea - to have Emma's every tenth chapter, but Emma is way too dynamic to have Mary Margaret talk about her stuff. I'll only use Emma's POV for the SQ intimate moments, but the moments when MM is with them, I'll use MM :)
EMMA'S POV
I saw Mary Margaret entering into the bathroom to help my brother. Under other circumstances I would have gone and bother them, but I needed to talk to Regina and set things clear. So, after filling my lungs with all the air I could inhale I stood up and I walked towards Regina, she was still watching through the window but I was sure she was not looking at anything in particular, she was thinking. Somehow, I didn't find courage enough to start speaking, which was not like me.
"Hey, about all that stuff," I said breaking the silence after I gathered all my courage.
"You don't need to tell me," Regina replied facing me. "I understand you have a past, I have one too - just not as big as yours,"
To be honestly, I was really curious about Regina's love-life, especially that Daniel she used to date when she was a teen. I mean, there were so many gossips around that relationship and how it had ended. But if she didn't inquire about my past, I had not right to ask about hers.
"I just want to know something," she asked me, "You are not the cheating type, right?"
I shook my head. "No," I replied, grabbing her hand and locking her fingers with mine. "When I'm committed to someone, I'm committed," I added with a smirk.
"Good, because I hate cheaters," she stated and then paused for a minute. "I do want to know about Graham, though,"
"Why?" I asked. "Want to share tips about what Graham likes?"
"Emma!" she let go of my hand. "I'm being serious,"
"Fine - if you must know," I rested my back against the cold window glass, "Graham had just come back from finishing the Police Academy, he looked so hot in his uniform," Regina was staring at me; all my tries to look away were in vain, her eyes were like magnets "M was on a date and Ruby was fooling around with Belle, I was lonely - and you and David were in college so I guess he was lonely as well."
I crossed my arms as my thoughts went back to his grand entrance to Granny's the night he came back from his training. I had almost lost my panties just by seeing him. When he left Storybrooke to go to Boston's police academy he has been a kid, he even had acne; but he returned as a man, I could even notice his toned muscles below his shirt - I mean, who would resist a man like that?
"He didn't recognize me at first," I continued. "He came over and started speaking, so I thought he knew who I was," skipping some minor details I went to the point, "We went to the station and he started - you know," shyly, I pointed at my vagina. Usually I was very open about my sexuality, but having Regina's eyes piercing my soul made it hard. "I was about to reach an orgasm when I let out a moan and said the nickname I had for him,"
It had been pretty embarrassing at the moment: Graham stopped kissing my core and he looked at me with his face between my legs. It took him a while to understand. Then terror filled his eyes.
"I called him Hammie ever since I was a kid," I explained, "It was too hard for me to say Graham when I was four so I settled for something easier."
"And then he stopped?" Regina asked and I nodded in response. "So you didn't give him a blow job?" I shook my head.
"No, I didn't." My answer seemed to relax her. I grinned. "Why? You wanted to stay top 1 on Graham's bj's list?"
Regina smacked my arm and looked offended. "I'll let you know, Miss Swan, that I didn't give Graham any blow job at all,"
"Hand job?" I asked, she shook her head. "Sex?" Regina shook her head once more. "Man, you were a horrible girlfriend to him, no wonder my brother doesn't want me to date you," I teased her but she looked away, as if my words had hurt her. Then I realised that there was so much more to the story than what I knew - stupid Emma, stupid, stupid, always talking too much.
I placed my hand on her shoulder and when I didn't get any response from her and brought her close to me and wrap her in a tight hug. Her arms wrapped my waist. The feeling of her breathing against my neck gave me goose bumps, but I didn't act on it; Regina was clearly distressed and I didn't want to take advantage of her fragile state. After all, I'm a gentleman - more like a gentlewoman.
The silence that surrounded us was broken by Mary Margaret's voice saying "Emma, we are going for a walk," and then the door opening and closing.
"I think we are alone," I pointed out with a grin. Regina looked at me.
"You can't seriously think that I'll have anything with you after this conversation,"
"You said you understood I had a past," I protested.
"Yes, but it's too soon," Regina's hand caressed my cheek. "Can we - can we take it slowly?"
I nodded, "Take all the time you want," I gently pressed my lips against hers. "I have all the time in the world,"
She kissed me back, "Thank you," Regina whispered to my lips, "For not pushing me,"
"Oh, there will be a lot of pushing once the time comes," I teased. "Against the kitchen table, my closet, the door,"
The brunette smacked me again, this time gently - as if she was playing with me. I was still embracing Regina, it was then when I realised how much I liked Regina's body pressed against mine, too much to actually let her go. It has not just in a sexual way, of course Regina was sexy and she made my body go crazy and want to do things to her, but also in a sweet caring way.
Was I falling in love with Regina Mills? I head a little voice say in my head. Impossible. Why not? the voice asked again. Honestly, I was too tired to argue with my inner self, I'd probably overthink things and reach wrong conclusions.
"Can we at least cuddle and fall asleep like that?" I asked with puppy eyes. There was no harm in asking.
To my surprise Regina nodded. I grabbed her hand I guided her to my room which was, as usual, a mess. The brunette raised an eyebrow and gave me a scornful look. It was the first time I was ashamed of my mess, Mary Margaret was right, I needed to be more organized. Well, at least I had clean sheets on my bed!
Regina waited until I laid down to settle next to me, she was probably too polite to sit in my bed first. If it'd be me in her bed, I'd had already jump like Free Willie. She laid on her left flank, facing me and rested her head on her left arm, her other hand was linked with my right hand and my left arm wrapped her close to me.
"Will you ever tell me what happened between you and Graham?" I asked, breathing her hair's scent: apples and cinnamon.
"There's not much to tell, really?" Regina answered, pressing her body against mine, "I was not nice to him, I used him and he'll never forgive me for that,"
"But, there's so much hostility between both of you," I pointed out remembering last time we were in prison.
"It's just..." her voice trailed off and then she took a deep breath, "When Graham understood that I didn't really love him, and that I will never love him more than a friend, he said some things about me,"
I tried to think back, when they were in high school and I in elementary, to see if I could remember people whispering about Regina. "What did he say?" I asked, failing at recalling anything.
"Things I had told him and David because we were close friends," she answered, and then she turned around to face me, "I understand that he was hurting, and that he wanted to get back at me, but once my trust is gone, it's gone forever," Regina cupped my cheek, "You must think I deserve what he did; David did, for a long time,"
"No," I said, looking into her eyes, "You did something wrong, and I hope you regret your actions," she nodded, "but that didn't give him the rights to lower to your level and be a bad friend," it was true; Ruby, Mary Margaret, Belle and I had done some not-so-good things to each other, but we never told the secrets that we heard in confidence.
"Only you know how to take someone's side and insult them at the same time," Regina said teasingly.
"It's part of my charm," I shrugged and closed my eyes. I laid on my back and Regina rested her face on my chest.
"I could get used to this," she whispered. I couldn't see, but I knew there was a smile on her face.
I muttered a mhm, before slowly opening my eyes; Regina had already fallen asleep, I studied every inch of her face and her body, she looked at peace, so rested, so beautiful. It gave me butterflies on my stomach; it was a funny feeling, I hadn't feel like that since high school. I tried to memorise every detail as my eyes slowly closed and my eyelids became more and more heavy. Before I knew it, I was asleep.
The lack of sound woke me up. I checked my watch, 11 A.M. I raised my head a little bit to see over Regina's body, my movement woke her up.
"Do you hear something?" I asked.
"No..." she replied confused.
"Exactly: everything is in silence,"
"And that's relevant because?"
"Mary Margaret is not here," I replied sitting on the edge of my bed. Regina sat behind me and wrapped her arms around my chest.
"I'm sure she's still asleep, she looked tired yesterday, and then she went to walk with David," she said kissing my shoulder.
"No," I turned to face Regina. "Mary Margaret is always awake before 10 A.M., she's always making breakfast for me," my stomach growled, agreeing with my last statement.
"I'll cook you breakfast if you are so hungry,"
"You don't understand," I stood up from the bed shaking my head, "Mary Margaret didn't come home last night, what if she died?"
Regina chuckled. "Emma, she was with David yesterday," she said as if I wouldn't remember, "She's probably cooking breakfast for her new favourite Nolan."
"Mary Margaret is -" my voiced trailed off, "She's not like me, she wouldn't sleep over a guy's place." She had never done it before, so why would she start doing it now? She always said that she wanted to do all that stuff with the one.
My heart stopped. Could my brother be M's one true love? My thoughts returned to the words Regina had said a while ago, 'new favourite Nolan', I hand't realise how those words hurt me. I know Regina didn't mean it that way, she probably didn't even know the power that statement had on me. But Mary Margaret was my best friend, more like a sister, I didn't want to be the second favourite Nolan. Suddenly the idea of M dating my brother didn't seem so appealing to me, how didn't I think of this before? M would eventually replace me, and how could she not? She was dating my brother. They would probably marry and have hundreds of little charming kids and I'd be left alone.
"Emma?" Regina's voice brought me back to my room, I shook my head. "Are you ok?" she asked taking my hand on hers
"Yes, it's just," I looked into her eyes. I wouldn't be alone, I would be with Regina. A half smile appeared on my face, "It's nothing," I squeezed her hand. "How about pancakes for breakfast?"
"Sounds good," the brunette replied with a smile.
She let go of my hand and started to walk towards the kitchen. I stayed behind watching the scene, waking up with Regina and cooking breakfast with her felt right, it felt like it I was born to live like this - with Regina. My thoughts travelled to the inner conversation I had had with myself last night. Was Regina my true love? I couldn't know for sure. But I did know that I was falling in love with her, and I just hoped that she'd be there to catch me. Because there's no greater pain than a broken heart.
"Are you coming or what?" I heard her scream from the kitchen.
"Or what," I replied with a smile as I exited my room.
