Chapter 5: Chapter 5

AN: Thank you to everyone for your support and reviews, they make my day! Enjoy! *hugs*

"What are we doing?" Regina asks and they reach the rooftop.

"It's gorgeous." Emma replies.

"It's raining."

"Killian won't come up here." Emma says as she ventures closer to the edge.

"They say it's a subconscious fear you'll throw yourself off," Emma adds, "but Killian freaks when I go near the edge, too." Emma says as she sees a look of worry in Regina's face as she bends over the edge.

Emma quickly retracts back as a wave of relief hits Regina.

Regina didn't know why she felt so anxious watching Emma venture closer to the edge. She was never one to be afraid of heights, even as a child. But for some unseen reason watching the blonde approach the edge and knowing that she could fall over made Regina feel sick. The thought of being without the blonde had the brunette shutter in fear.

"By the way, sorry about dinner." Emma adds as she walks closer to the brunette.

"I've eaten worse." Regina replies giving Emma a forgiving smile.

"You're wet." Emma says noticing how the brunette is covered in small rain beads.

"I'm fine."

"And you're cold." Emma says as she ignores the brunette's comment and puts her palm against her arm.

"I'm fine!"

Emma takes off her jacket and hands it to Regina, "You can have it. Really, you can have it."

"Emma I'm okay really. I'm so fine."

"It's fine." Emma replies all but forcing the jacket around Regina.

"Okay, now you're cold." Regina replies eyeing the shivering blonde.

It is then that Regina notices how wet Emma is from the rain. Her golden locks dripping wet and her dress is soaked. The blonde's pink lips quiver as she shivers from the cold.

Both women can see their breaths like smoke. Regina notices as one of Emma's locks falls out of her bun and in front of her face.

Before Emma gets the chance to move it she in engulfed in the warmth of Regina's palm on her cheek. Emma closes her eyes giving in to the comfort as the brunette pushes the strand behind her ear, and gently cups her cheek for a few seconds longer.

Emma and Regina look into each other's eyes as if the spark that ignited the day of the wedding, suddenly became a strong, and burning flame. Both women smile at each other, each getting lost in each other's eyes.

"Hey, what are you guys up to?" Killian says as he walks up the stairs.

Emma, noticing how close they are to each other quickly retracts, "Nothing." She stutters.

"Good night." Regina says as she gives Killian a friendly hug.

"See you soon." Regina says to Emma as she momentarily wraps her in her arms.

"Thanks for dinner." Robin says sarcastically as he gives his hosts a nod of departure.

"Bye." Emma replies looking into Regina's eyes as long as she can until the door finally shuts.

"Thanks for the ride home Robin." Regina says as she sits in the passenger's seat of Robin's Mercedes.

"My pleasure, m'lady." Robin replies giving her a devilish smirk.

"Next left." Regina says as she directs him to her house.

"It's one option, yes. Or how about instead, we just go straight back to my place?"

"Robin, take the next left."

"You all right, Regina?"

Regina glares at him, "Why, because I don't want to screw you?"

"You're welcome not to fuck me, just don't sit in my car all bored like that."

"I'm sorry." He quickly adds.

"Really." Regina comments as her eyebrow arches in disbelief.

"You've got something on your mind, that's obvious."

"You know what you should do? You should share with me. Because beneath this rugged exterior there beats a sensitive soul." He adds.

"Um no, there doesn't." Regina replies nonchalantly.

"You're right, no, there doesn't, but tell me anyway."

Regina stares at Robin refusing to talk about it.

"Bet it's a girl thing, no, right? I mean, it's got to be." He guesses.

"Are you always this crass?"

"Why yes, yes I am."

Regina gives in to his nagging and shares, "Have you ever met someone and just..well but there was someone else already?"she says looking distressed.

"Yeah, sure. Hot ones are always taken."

"So, what do you do?"

"What do I do? I fuck them. Partner is their problem, it's not mine."

"Yeah well I think you don't mess with other couples. Don't cause that pain, ever. You just face facts that it can't happen walk away. Hook up with someone available instead."

"Well, your place or mine? Come on, let's... I'm so good in bed."

Regina chuckles jokingly scolding herself for asking him for his advice.

"Never gonna happen." Regina says still laughing at herself.
