A/N: Here's the next chapter. Some more interesting events/twists are going to take place in the near future (since a curse exists and the story will be less and less orientated on the movie). Mistakes are all mine!

The part written in italics is a dream as you will notice pretty soon. :)

Enjoy! ;)

Chapter 4

Regina's POV:

The brunette walked into the hotel room, already feeling exhausted and dropped down on the bed. She pulled off her shoes and the obnoxious clothes of the flower woman. While looking at the red shirt, Regina finally noticed that she had forgotten to take care of the lady. "I'm going to deal with the imbecile in the morning." She thought to herself and slipped under the covers.

Her head crashed into the soft pillow and her eyes closed as she immediately fell into a much-needed slumber.

The rays of the sun were warming up the brunette's face while she was lying on a blanket and staring at the ocean-blue sky. She felt goose pumps on her whole body as she turned her head to her right and eyed someone that apparently caused them. A smile immediately settled down on her lips when she gazed into a very beloved pair of eyes.

Regina didn't comprehend how feeling bond to someone so strongly could still make her feel free and so utterly complete. All she ever longed for was freedom and even though she had never assumed it would be connected to love, she couldn't regret any of her decisions. Love contained more ambiguity than anything she had ever known. It made her stronger, weaker, better, worse all at the same time but she wouldn't trade the feeling for anything else.

A soft nudge to her shoulder pulled her out of her thoughts and made her lock eyes with the most beautiful woman she had ever met. Regina knew that she would never let her willingly go. The brunette would fight a million wars if it gave her the woman's presence and affection.

Sparkling green-blue eyes stared at her and the look plumped Regina's very soul. She had forgotten how often she had eyed those emerald orbs but she knew by the first look that she must have seen the blonde's soul as well.

The brunette hated to disturb the peaceful quiet but her husky voice spoke up nonetheless.

"I didn't assume you to even hold your peace for a second, dear. I have to admit, I am quite impressed."

The other woman chuckled lightly before she replied.

"Oh I'm only captivated by a sight worth seeing. I am serious, love. You have an outstanding ability of leaving me breathless."

Regina beamed at the younger woman before she slowly leaned forward and met soft pink lips halfway. It was a stolen kiss but was nevertheless filled with so much affection. The two of them settled back again as the brunette decided to ask something.

"Emma, is there anything you wish for concerning tomorrow?"

The blonde furrowed her brow for a second but smiled back at her girlfriend sheepishly when she gave her response.

"I have everything I could ever wish for."

"I could fulfill your every desire. Just name it and you shall have it." Regina countered almost pleadingly.

Emma's smile instantly lit up at her girlfriend's adorableness and she bowed her head to express her refusal as she spoke.

"Regina please I am only turning eighteen. Besides I really have everything I could ever desire. I have it right here."

The blonde moved closer so that they were only mere inches away from each other when she continued.

"I just want you."

Regina could instantly feel her heart swell up at the words as she looked at her true love. The younger woman closed the space between them and pressed her lips on crimson swollen ones. She lingered there for a few seconds before retreating again and adorably grinning at her wife-to-be.

Regina woke up, yawning and stretched herself while she was smiling like a little kid who just got a treat. The brunette felt the pleasing repercussions of the dream and marched into the bathroom.

When she eyed herself in the mirror, she was quite taken aback with her own reflection. She beamed of joy and happiness as if it was radiating from her and looked so much younger than yesterday. It seemed strange but even without make-up, her sleepy face appeared more beautiful than ever.

The stunning beauty from the dream was so intriguing to her even if Regina knew that it was probably just because of the importance of the Savior. The blonde was the only person who could give her life excitement by breaking the curse. She shoved the feeling of having felt something inexplicable towards the blonde-haired woman when the two locked eyes, deep inside her. It was strange that she felt the exact same thing in her dream… as if she had seen her soul. That couldn't be though, could it?

Considering the fact that she had masqueraded as the decorator, she needed to keep up that charade and therefore make a deal with the flower woman. The mayor looked quite annoyed when she put on the yesterday's clothes.

She needed to put her plan into action one way or another though. Get the Savior to Storybrooke and break that freaking curse.

Minutes later

The former Evil Queen arrived at the church and was quite surprised to see that the marquee was still up. She had the slight feeling that some guests had just started to make their way home in the morning. "It was quite the party crowd," Regina thought to herself as she entered the clerical building.

She had clothes, bread and some water with her as she opened the curtain of the confessional box. The brunette let out a breath of relief when she looked at the half-naked flower lady who was apparently still alive and only sleeping. Regina knew that she had to either relocate the girl before some religious imbecile found her or make a deal with her. Hoping for the latter and more easygoing one, she poked the red-haired woman's head a few times until the woman started to blink.

The captive immediately locked eyes with the smirking brunette and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. Her brown-green eyes were displaying her shock and fear perfectly.

Regina spoke up with a rather friendly voice. It did startle her at first but seemed weirdly familiar to the former Evil Queen.

"Good morning. I shall give you two choices, my dear. Remember that I am only being utterly accommodating in this matter if you are just as well. If you underestimate the importance of this, you will experience my evil side. Is everything understood, darling?"
