Regina was quite sure she could kiss Emma Swan for all eternity and never get bored. She only wished she didn't have to breathe. Curled up with the blonde in the old armchair she had purposely left pushed to the corner of the room with hopes of it fulfilling this purpose, she finally pulled back, leaning their foreheads together as they caught their breath.
"Is this how you saw your date ending up?" asked Emma with a smirk, her arms firmly settled around the brunette's waist, keeping her close.
"I had hopes," grinned the brunette, leaning in for another kiss. Regina pulled back with a sigh on hearing a soft knock on the door. She looked up to find a sheepish looking Ruby offering her an apologetic smile.
"Hey, you asked me to call in when it was ten," she said quietly, stepping into the room. "It's a few minutes after now. You still want me to give you guys a ride home?"
Regina had asked her earlier, her car being in the repair shop. She was sure there was nothing wrong with it, and this was just her mother's latest way of trying to limit her freedom, but she had other ways of getting what she wanted. "If you wouldn't mind?"
"Just let me clean up these last few tables and I'll bring my car round," said Ruby, slipping out of the room.
"Is your car still in the shop?" asked Emma, her arms still tightly around Regina's waist.
Regina nodded, "I don't even think it needs to be there, but I've tried raising it with my mother so many times now." She sighed, curling into Emma's side. "I just wish she would stop her interfering."
The blonde held her girlfriend tight, pressing a kiss to her temple. "I know."
The brunette turned her head, capturing pale pink lips in a gentle kiss. "I'm glad I have you."
"I'm amazed I have you," smiled Emma, leaning in for another kiss. "And if you don't get your car back soon, I'll personally start pushing you around in mine. Every Princess needs a carriage."
Regina chuckled. "You're trying to call that yellow heap of scrap a carriage?" She quickly moved to kiss the pout from her girlfriend's lips. "It is sweet of you though. You still don't have an engine then?"
Emma shook her head. "I've spoken to Marco at the garage about sourcing one, but the prices are just way more than I can afford. I'm still working on it though, so when I finally have enough money to put an engine in it, it'll be awesome!"
"I love how you're so optimistic about that car," smirked Regina.
The blonde grinned. "And it must be rubbing off, you finally called it a car!"
Regina rolled her eyes, but was cut off from any further snarky remark by Ruby appearing back in the doorway.
"Sorry to interrupt guys, but if you want home before eleven so you don't have to face your mom, Regina, we should probably head."
Turning to Emma, Regina gave a sad smile. When she opened her mouth to speak, she was cut off by a finger pressed against her lips.
"Don't you dare apologise," said Emma seriously. "Tonight has been amazing. Don't spoil that by apologising for anything."
