But here you have chapter 5!

Enjoy! – Sorry for any typo.

Chapter 5: Signs – Part 1

Emma's Apartment

"Did she really invite you to the party?" Victoria asked as she sat down on Emma's couch with her feet over the table too.

"Well, she didn't actually invite me…Kathryn did, but Regina's supposed to be the one driving me there and be with me during the entire party!" Emma replayed to her friend, who for the first time seemed less high than usual. The blonde woman was just shouting from her bedroom to the living room, since she was still getting ready, and Regina would be knocking on her door in few minutes.

"Hum…you seem awful excited to 'spend the entire party with her'!" Victoria tried to imitate the same excitement Emma had, and also make it a bit way too girly.

"It's nothing like that. For what I heard, the all friends in the party belong to Kathryn, and they are all foreigners. It seems Kathryn speaks more than four languages. " Emma replayed again as she put on her earrings. "So yeah, Regina has to stick up with me for the entire party because Kathryn will be busy with guests."

"Four languages?! Whoa she must have a very skilled mouth." Victoria laughed before shake her head and fold her arms over her tummy. "I doubt that boss ass bitch will deal with you the entire night. She might just stick with some foreigner even if she doesn't understand them."

"More than four languages." Emma corrected her friend before put the necklace. "Oh please! I am not that bad, and Regina probably knows other language than English." Right now Emma was leaving her bedroom and getting in the living room, finally revealing how she was to her friend. "So, what you think?"

Victoria looked over her shoulder so she could see Emma and she stared up and down at the blonde woman before whistle. "Oh whoa, dang girl!" Victoria looked around and she could appreciate more of how the red tight dress seemed so beautiful on her friend, she didn't looked slutty with it, it stopped by the middle of her thigh, it was tight to her body and showed how fit she was. Then she had some thin long earrings that were probably a cheap imitation of silver, just like her necklace, or at least that's what Victoria thought. "Your hair and make-up looks awesome too." Instead of straight hair, or just a messy wavy hair, Emma had it in a perfect pony-tail. Then her make-up was soft, just some mascara, eyeliner and then a red lipstick to match the dress.

Emma just bit down on her lower lip and looked down at herself before look back up at her friend. "You think? Isn't it too much?"

"Oh whoa, are you getting all worried that your lover will find you too slutty?" Victoria chuckled as she just shook her head. "You perf, Emz. You don't look slutty, you look sexy as fuck yet decent for the party."

"She's not my lover!" Emma gasped as she felt like it was hard to hear such words and accept them. "But thanks, Vicky. You can be very kind when you want to, you know?" Emma chuckled now as she stepped closer to her friend and rubbed her head, messing up with her hair.

Victoria just shook her head trying to void Emma's hand but it was already too late, since her hair now was all messed up. "Stop it." Victoria chuckled lowly before fix her hair again. "You kno-" Before Victoria could finish, Emma's phone was ringing, so obviously the blonde woman went rushed to it.

"Huh, yes?" Emma picked up the call that clearly belonged to Regina.

"Down now, Miss Swan." The usual tone of voice Regina always has.

"Okay, okay!" Emma said a bit excited and then before she could hang up, Regina had already done that, so the blonde woman just rushed to the chair at the kitchen and picked up her coat, slipped her hands through the warm dark long coat, and then checked her pockets to make sure she had her wallet there, she was going to a party in somebody's house, but maybe she might pay the gas for Regina because she still remembers how a bit far Kathryn's house actually is. Yeah, we can't forget Emma already done few things for Kathryn and it all happened over her place. "Victoria food is on the fridge, keys in my room. If you need anything text or call me or whatever. I gotta go now, bye bye!" Emma said it too quick and then just left the apartment closing the door behind her.

Victoria just watched how her friend reacted to a simple call of five seconds with Regina and she had to say it was quite a show, the blonde young woman was totally falling hard for the teacher, she just didn't know yet and Victoria can't wait to see when will those two actually came out of the closet. Well, as a couple.

…

Emma stepped out of her apartment and quickly felt the cold wind with snow hitting her face which made her tremble her teeth pretty quick. Gosh, it was indeed cold, but thank god she didn't forgot to bring her jacket, even though that didn't covered her entire legs, it was still good to feel it warming up her arms and upper body. – She easily spotted out Regina's car, because it was the only fancy car around these streets, so she just stepped up to it, and open the door, then just dropped herself over the seat and closed the door again once her full body was inside. "Oh gosh, so cold." She mumbled as she quickly rubbed her hands and blew against them.

Regina just watched Emma and then perked up an eyebrow "Good night for you too, Miss Swan." The brunette now took a look at Emma and was able to notice more her bare legs and she couldn't wait for Emma to remove that jacket and stood up to actually reveal her outfit.

Emma moved her hands down and then turned her head to look at Regina with a smile. "Good night, Mrs. Mills." Emma said with a sassy tone before chuckle.

Regina just shook her head and started the car again. "Kathryn's house is one hour ahead."

"Yeah, I know." Emma said as she got comfortable on her seat and put on the seat belt.

Regina looked at Emma from the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy when she those words coming from Emma, she had totally forgotten that she wasn't Emma's only client, that Kathryn was one before too, and maybe still is. "Right…so get comfortable." Regina said with a tone more cold than before as she just began to drive off.

She really needs to stop feeling like she owns the blonde woman.

Kathryn's House

"Regina, Emma! I am glad you two could make it!" Kathryn said very excited as she held the door wide open for both women to step in and once they did, she closed the door behind them. "Just get drunk and get all comfy." Kathryn giggled.

Emma stepped in as she looked at Kathryn with a smile and then looked around, seeing few people walking around, talking, and all seemed to be in different languages. "Yeah, the driver can't drink though. But I can!"

Regina frowned and looked at Emma, like she despised her. "If I can't get drunk, neither can you, Miss Swan."

Emma sighed out and felt her excitement quickly drop down when she heard Regina's words. "Oh come on, it's not like I am the one driving."

"You two still with the Miss Swan, thing? Just call her Emma!" Kathryn finished her words with a big grin, oh she was totally going to make this two get laid tonight, or at least try.

"I refuse." Regina quickly replayed.

"Meh, I think it's hot, so let her call me that." Emma smirked and then just stepped further in the house to find some drink or food.

Regina was just left behind with a slight blush upon her tan cheeks and speechless about what the blonde woman just said.

"Ooops, cat got your tongue?" Kathryn giggled and then patted her friend's shoulder. "Keep calling her like that and you are going to get laid for free." And after ending this joke Kathryn just went after Emma so she could help her out finding the drinks.

"Kathryn!" Regina gasped as she felt hot right now and it was disturbing her. She just had to keep Emma out of her thoughts…well at least the naked Emma couldn't show up in her mind again, but just by warning herself about that, she's now thinking about Emma naked and even if she only saw her one time, she can still remember every detail of her body, like she was the one who made it.

…

At some point, Kathryn left Regina and Emma behind and began to chat with her all guests, and Emma was just surprised at how many languages Kathryn actually knew, and then she got curious if Regina also knew another language. "Hey, Regina."

Regina was holding a glass of cider as she stood awkwardly besides Emma and scanned the room, when she heard the blonde call her name, she perked up an eyebrow and couldn't' believe just hearing Emma say her name was enough to set another flame inside her. "..Yes?"

"Do you know any other languages?" Emma questioned her.

And Regina actually felt a bit disappointed with that. "I do."

"How many?"

"Two more."

"Oh! Which?!" Emma now asked a bit excited.

"Why do you want to know?" Regina eyed her, suspiciously.

"Because it is interesting? I don't know. I just like the way people know other language than their own."

"Spanish and French."

"I knew it!" Emma then realized she said something she probably shouldn't..

"What do you mean by that, Miss Swan?" Now Regina frowned.

"Ah well, you know…you got this Hispanic look, so I always wondered if you spoke Spanish, and I am right sooo…." Emma tried to correct her mistake, hoping she wasn't making things worse.

"So you assumed that I am Hispanic just because I am tan and brunette? That's pretty racist, Miss Swan." Regina knew that Emma meant no harm, but it was funny to see the all struggle the blonde woman went through to explain herself.

"No, no, no. That's not what I meant! I just..you know…augh!" Emma really didn't know how to get herself out of this mess so she just shut up. "I am going to shut up now before I make things worse."

And at the end, Regina simple chuckled, and it wasn't those usual forced chuckles she makes, but with pure meaning. "I am just messing around with you, Miss Swan." And without realizing she actually winked at Emma and smirked. Maybe her body was taking over her thoughts and it had its own will, and what her body wanted, was Emma's body.

Emma's pale cheeks quickly flushed a pinkish color when she heard Regina's chuckle and the blush only got darker when she actually heard Regina's words and saw her wink, oh also smirk! Did Regina Mills, the awful teacher just smirked and winked at her?! Oh god lord! This was the best day eve-…Okay, Emma don't ruin this…just calm down, she is only messing around, it doesn't mean anything, just relax yourself…She thought and then took a deep breath before rub the back of her neck and unbuttoned the first two buttons of her long dark jacket, it was indeed getting hot all of sudden.

Regina watched Emma as she perked up an eyebrow and couldn't help but feel a bit tingly because of the blonde's blush, did her words made Emma blush? Was just Emma getting hot because of her jacket? Maybe because of the jacket, because Regina wasn't wearing hers, she actually forgot it back home, and since she's inside Kathryn's house she doesn't feel cold at all, so perhaps Emma was only getting red because of the temperature. "Miss Swan, are you there?" Regina questioned since Emma seemed to be lost in her own thoughts or something.

Emma snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Regina's voice again. She cleared her throat and looked at the brunette. "Ah-hum yeah, yeah...was just..." Okay Emma couldn't tell Regina she was just trying to calm herself down because she was feeling too hot due Regina's words.

But she had her salvation. "Girls!" Kathryn said excited as she approached the two of them. "So, is everything alright? Do you two need more drinks? Some more snacks? Do you like the party?" Kathryn questioned them with a big smile as she eyed them both.

Thank god…Emma thought for herself whenever Kathryn decided to show up and interrupt their conversation. "Yeah, the party's awesome; you really know lot of foreigners, don't you?" Emma chuckled.

"Yup! All online though; time to time we do meetings all together, and this time it was in my house."

"Only somebody like you to let a bunch of strangers in your house." Regina said, as she perked up an eyebrow while staring at Kathryn and taking a sip from her cider.

"Oh come on, Regina! They are pretty cool, and so far nothing was robbed and nobody was raped or killed. So I think everything's going pretty good." Kathryn chuckled.

"The night's still young, dear."

Emma just watched the two interact, because they were really getting lost in another conversation, so soon the green, blueish eyes landed upon some fragile, adorable looking woman, which was probably the same age as Emma, but she was all alone, sitting on the chair and just playing with her own fingers while she held the glass. Nobody was talking to her, and she wasn't talking to anybody, and Emma noticed something else was odd with that girl, because a couple passed by her and laughed extremely out loud, obviously bothering anyone that was around, but the girl didn't moved a single muscle.

And since Emma was so lost with that, she didn't realized the conversation Kathryn and Regina were having had taken another turn and now Kathryn was asking for her opinion. "Right, Emma?" Kathryn looked up at the blonde woman, but she was looking down, so she just decided to look at whatever Emma was staring, and all she saw was just bunch of people interacting with each other and also noticed that there was a woman extremely quiet and not interacting with anything at all. "Oh, got your eyes on the redhead chick? Thought you were here with Regina, only." Kathryn smirked as she looked now at Emma and Regina, wondering what their reaction would be.

Regina looked up at Emma to see if she would replay to Kathryn but she didn't, so when her friend decided to look at what Emma was staring, Regina done the same and felt a slight squeeze on her heart, because all she saw was just some adorable woman in a tight dress sitting down and with a glass, she was a beautiful adorable redhead. But why was Emma staring at her? Wasn't Regina better? She brought a tight dress too, and black, so she would look slimmer and yet show her beautiful curves, but perhaps Emma's kind of woman was somebody adorable and not somebody womanly and sexy. – When Kathryn made a comment, Regina quickly snapped. "Cut it out, Kathryn." She didn't wanted to sound so cold towards her best friend, but she was feeling upset that Emma's eyes were interested on somebody else.

Emma didn't paid much attention to Kathryn's comment and Regina's response, she was still very interested no knowing what was that unknown woman's deal, and see if something was wrong with her, or if she was just anti-social like that. "Hum, is she okay? She isn't interacting with anybody or anything at all."

"Oh, that's Maryanne, she's deaf, I don't know why she's alone because she came with a friend, Juliette." Kathryn replayed to Emma as she began to look around trying to find Juliette. "Juliette needs to be here because she's the only one who can do sign language."

Now Regina felt a bit bad because the girl was deaf, but still, the jealousy was there.

"It's not that hard." Emma replayed and then she simple walked past Kathryn and Regina and headed straight to the redhead deaf girl.

Regina and Kathryn stayed behind watching the scene that was developing in front of their eyes right now, they were witnessing Emma communicated with the deaf girl, by using the sign language, and they both had a smile on their face. For some odd reason, it looked weirdly cute. But for Regina she only felt more jealous than before.

"Oh whoa, didn't know Emma knew sign language." Kathryn said as she tilted her head to the side and kept watching.

"Me neither." Regina almost barked while saying those two words.

"Ooooh, I sense jealousy." Kathryn grinned as she looked at her friend from the corner of her eye.

"That's absurd." Regina frowned as she took a long sip from her non-alcohol cider.

"Riiiight. You know everything would be easier if you just admit it." Kathryn pressed her lips together as she raised her eyebrows while still looking at Regina.

"I don't know what in hell you are talking about."

"Oh come on, Regina. Just admit your feelings." Kathryn rolled her eyes.

"Cut it out, Kathryn. I know what you are trying to do here, and it's not going to work."

"Oh yeah, then what is Emma to you? An entertainment? A toy you can use whenever you are bored?" Kathryn knew she shouldn't say this, but she wants Regina to just face the truth.

"Maybe." Regina gripped tightly onto her glass as she bit down on the inside of her cheek. She didn't mean any of what she just said, but her pride was taking over her. That was why she bit was biting hard on the inside of her cheek, cause she was holding back the whole truth she didn't wanted to face and it hurt to agree that Emma was just a toy, an entertainment, cause the blonde student wasn't like that..

"Oh please." Kathryn simple shook her head and huffed out before walk away. "Don't let it be too late, Regina." And with that Kathryn went to talk with the guests again and leave Regina to her thoughts.

Regina watched Kathryn walking away and heard her words, which made her grind her teeth, and then she simple turned her back to everything and just stayed by the table, facing the wall. She didn't want to look at Emma interacting with that deaf girl anymore, she didn't want to face her true feelings, she was afraid and nobody noticed that.

And while Regina was trying to control her anger, or perhaps her sadness, Emma was already behind her and touched her shoulder slightly. "Hey Regina."

Regina took a deep breath whenever she heard Emma's voice and then turned around to try facing the blonde more calmly. "What do you want?" But clearly she failed, because she couldn't control her anger and jealousy.

Emma perked up an eyebrow wondering what has gotten into Regina to act like that all of sudden, but she decided to shrug it off for now. "Hum, it's time to eat the dinner."

"Oh, okay. " Regina quickly replayed and didn't even look at Emma anymore as she just started to walk past the blonde young woman and went after the all guests that were actually getting outside on the backyard, cause Kathryn figured it would be a nice way to dinner, completely forgetting that it was a bit chilly, and that Regina didn't brought her jacket. So she stood outside, a step away from the door and folded her arms in front of her chest, while raising her shoulders slightly, clearly showing that she was cold. – But she simple stood there and waited for everybody get their seat.

Emma just followed after Regina and when she realized that the brunette was actually cold, she decided to remove the long dark jacket she was wearing and just put it over Regina's shoulders, so the older woman would get warm, and now Emma was finally revealing her entire beautiful tight red dress. "There you go." Emma smiled down at Regina and then just walked up to the table, she made sure to grab two chairs, while everybody was still trying to figure out where to sit, she was basically saving a spot for Regina right beside her.

Regina looked at the cloth that was being placed over her shoulders, and then she looked up seeing the beautiful Emma giving her the jacket. Wouldn't the blonde be cold too? She was indeed with a shorter dress than Regina, but Emma just stood strong as a rock and went to the table to get them their seats. All of sudden Regina's anger seemed to go away and she just gripped tightly onto the edges of the jacket so she could pull it to her chest and cover herself better while inhaling Emma's amazing smell.

…

After thirty minutes everybody was done eating, or finishing their meal, few were leaving the table, others just stayed there while chatting. Emma and Regina were by the table, as Emma was waiting for Regina to finish eating, they were listening to a conversation of a lesbian foreigner couple, that had a strong Hispanic accent, but they were still able to understand them.

Kathryn was also there listening to the conversation and making it last. Regina figured this was another plan of Kathryn to make Regina realize more of her feelings towards Emma. But did her friend really thought watching a lesbian couple talking about their adventures would make Regina admit everything? She admits that it made her picture if it was her and Emma doing those all amazing adventures, but still.

Emma was just getting slightly bored, at first the conversation was interesting but then it was taking too long; so when Emma was bored she stared around, and her eyes stopped by Regina's thigh, her dress was rolled up, cause she sat down, and Emma's jacket was slowly uncovering her leg. Just that view was making her bite her lower lip slightly, trying to control herself but before she knew her hand was upon Regina's thigh and Emma was now caressing her inner thigh.

"Oh that adventure must have been incredible hilarious for you two." Regina commented to them with a smile as she was trying her best to be kind; then she felt Emma's hand upon her thigh, which made her look at the blonde, but when she did, Emma's eyes were just staring at the two Hispanic women, like she was paying attention to their words, yet Emma's hand keep on massaging her inner thigh, and was dangerously going closer to her groin, but Emma acted like she wasn't doing anything at all.

"Oh and there was this time we went to Mexico, and since Maria here hates reptiles, she couldn't deal with the iguanas." Julia finished her words with a laugh.

Emma laughed and tried to remain focused on the conversation as her fingers were poking their way up to Regina's panties, and whenever she reached there, she just used her index finger to poke the wet spot already forming in Regina's panties, which made Emma grin. So the blonde just pushed her panties to the side by using her middle finger and then slid her index finger between Regina's wet folds, rubbing her softly.

Regina gasped whenever Emma decided to finally touch her bare wet skin down there, but to cover it up, she quickly cleared her throat, acting like everything was alright and she just had some cough. She arched her back, like she was trying to straighten up on her seat, and pressed her elbows over the table, since she had just finished and pushed the plate away. She had to control herself, she couldn't believe Emma was doing this to her right in front of this all people, but Regina knew she had to control herself right now.

Emma noticed the few movements that Regina did, which was obviously how the brunette was reacting to her touch, so this made the blonde feel more proud. When Emma's finger reached Regina's clit, she teased her but just giving soft rubs or pokes, and in a matter of seconds, Regina had shifted on her seat to just press herself more against Emma's hand.

Regina was feeling too aroused by this actions, she for sure didn't needed Emma's jacket anymore, but she liked to have it on. She didn't want to be teased, she wanted Emma to just do it, to grab her and take her over this table, not caring about if people were watching; she only wanted Emma and would be able to "lock" herself in a world just for the two of them.

But when Regina's fire was building up inside her, somebody else decided to interrupt..

Emma's hand sudden stopped touching Regina's wetness; from the inside of her skirt, was now up on her thigh, just acting like a suppose couple and because Emma didn't want to look too suspicious to quickly remove her hand away from the brunette. But why she did this? Because the deaf girl was here again and poked Emma's shoulder to get her attention, so when the blonde turned around to face the French girl. "Oh hi." Yes she spoke because the deaf girl could read lips, but nobody there could understand the sign language but Emma and the other French girl that come too.

Maryanne just began to do a few signs, basically telling Emma she appreciated the talk and to have a nice night, because Maryanne is leaving now to her hotel, due waking up early tomorrow to catch her flight back to France.

"No problem." Emma said and then removed her leg from Regina's leg, so she could replay to the girl in sign language too.

And Regina felt jealousy strike again when she watched Emma and the deaf girl communicated again. Now that the deaf girl was closer, she could notice that she was actually very beautiful, but still had that too innocent look. Emma needs a woman, not a girl. Regina thought to herself and then quickly began to curse her own mind, because she couldn't believe she actually thought about that. Why were her feelings developing too fast? Why was she falling so hard for Emma?

But the conversation was very short, since it was only to say their goodbyes, and whenever Maryanne left, Emma basically turned her attention back to the table, and she noticed that the Latin lesbian couple was getting up as well but they were only going to get more desert.

"Sooo, they do get their exciting adventures." Kathryn grinned as she eyed Emma and Regina.

Regina simple cleared her throat as she tried to make the slight pinkish color upon her cheeks go away. "Indeed."

"Yup, I wouldn't mind do a few they mentioned." Emma said with a big smile as she leaned her back against the chair, and she placed her palm over Regina's leg again; grabbed the edge of her dress and pulled it down, so it would be just like it was before; then she just allowed her palm to rest upon Regina's thigh.

…

Another hour passed and everybody was already leaving, when Emma went to the bathroom, Kathryn decided to take this chance and talk again with Regina.

"Hum, I don't think that jacket is yours." Kathryn smirked as she noticed that Regina was still wearing Emma's jacket, even though they were already back inside.

"Huh?" Regina perked up an eyebrow then looked down at herself and realized she still had Emma's jacket on; it just felt so right.

"That was a nice gesture of her, you know."

"Yes it was."

"And I noticed what she did to you at the table." Kathryn grinned.

And Regina quickly swallowed…did Kathryn saw that Emma was basically pleasuring in public? She so didn't want to have this conversation with her best friend, and she didn't want people to think that Regina was just some pervert. "What do you mean?"

"Oh don't act all innocent. I know she had her hand over your thigh the entire time. You both seemed to be enjoying that a lot, especially you." Kathryn wiggled her eyebrows in a weird way and then chuckled.

"Right, that's what she did to me." Regina mumbled as she felt way more relieved now, but it what her friend thought was enough to make her talk about this the entire next week. "Don't be silly, Kathryn."

"Okay, okay. But now what you say? Do you still believe she's just your toy; your entertainment, whenever you get bored?" Kathryn wanted Regina to admit everything, and perhaps this was the moment.

Regina took a deep breath and looked down as she held the handles of her purse tightly, not sure what to say. She knew Kathryn wanted her to admit everything, but Regina wasn't sure if she was ready to admit such thing.

And Regina wouldn't have the time to replay either, because in a second Kathryn had her palms over her mouth, and her eyes staring at something behind Regina. She seemed awful shocked, so Regina decided to turn around and there was Emma.

There was Emma, the blonde young woman full of energy and always being cheerful, but she wasn't any of that right now; Emma looked hurt, she even had her eyes slightly watery, and her mouth was slightly open as she stared shocked at Regina.

"Em-…"

And Emma was already out of the room and leaving the house as well.

"Emma!" Regina called out for her and then frowned slightly as she watched the blonde woman walk away.

"Oh…I am so sorry, Regina. I didn't mean to, really." Kathryn now felt extremely bad, but this only proved that Emma had feelings for Regina as well.

But Regina didn't paid any attention to Kathryn's words, she simple went after Emma now.

TBC

Still extremely busy with design projects, peps. So once again, I am so sorry for this extreme delay, but I hoped you enjoyed this chapter; and tell me what you think about Regina's jealousy and Emma's last reaction.

Stick around!
