"I suppose you were right about Regina and Robin, since they left together." Emma says in an almost defeated voice as her and Killian casually walk down a grocery store aisle.
"What, you didn't know?" Killian says half amused.
"What? Know what?"
"Well, the thing you didn't know about Regina is the fact that she's... bloody hell, she's right here." Killian stops in mid-sentence as suddenly Regina and her friend appear in front of them.
"Hey" Regina says unaware of their conversation.
"Hey, hi!" Emma responds.
"Odd thing, we were just talking about you." Killian states bluntly.
"Oh, all nice, I hope." Regina responds and she gives a nervous laugh.
"Oh, sorry. Killian, this is Maleficent." Regina says as she introduces her female friend.
"Maleficent but most people just call me Melly or Mal", she states again as she put her hand out to greet him.
"Killian." He says as he copies the gesture.
"And this is Emma." Regina says as she smiles at the blonde.
"Emma."
"Mal."
"So, Saturday shopping?" Killian asks.
"Um hm." Regina responds.
"Great." Killian says as he senses a wave of awkwardness, " And listen, thanks stopping by for dinner. We should definitely..."
"Definitely." Regina quickly replies sensing it too.
"We will." Emma chirps.
"Okay. Well, nice to meet you Emma." Mal says.
"You, too." Emma says.
Both parties set out in different directions and continue to shop.
Regina continues their conversation as if nothing happened, "So, are you going out tonight, because I was thinking..."
"Whoa there, your majesty. What the hell was going on there?" Mal says eyeing the brunette.
"That's what I'm trying to tell you. Regina is gay." Killian proceeds to say.
"She's gay." Emma repeats eyeing Killian for a sign of deceit but finds none.
"Some might call her a lesbian." Killian continues to say with a smug grin on his face.
"Hey, you don't that's the girlfriend?" He adds.
"She's not just heterosexual. She's, like, Barbie heterosexual." Mal states as she continues to give the brunette a hard time.
Just then the couples run into each other again causing their predicament to become more awkward.
"Oh, hey." Killian says.
"Funny, we were just talking about you this time." Mal proceeds to state.
"Maleficent, are you gay?" Killian bluntly asks as curiosity overwhelms him.
"Oh my god. Killian shut the hell up." Emma whispers as her face turns bright red and she glues her eyes to the tile floor.
"Am I gay? I'm excited as anyone to go shopping with Regina." She responds mockingly.
"And are you two..."
"No. We're not." She says as she pretends to be hurt, "I try and I try, but she loves another." She says dramatically.
Regina quickly elbows Maleficent.
The statement causes Emma to look up from the floor only to discover the brunette staring at her showing an equal amount of embarrassment.
"So, I... I'll call you." Emma stutters unable to contain herself any longer.
"I look forward to it." Regina says.
"Yep. Bye again."
"Bye."
Once alone and paying for their groceries Killian continues to speak, "So I found out that they are not fucking."
"Yes, very tactful and discreet, Captain Jones." Emma replies as her cheeks still burn from the moment's before still very embarrassing situation.
Emma doesn't speak to Killian again until they pull into the driveway of their home.
Which Killian didn't seem to mind, as he continues to listen attentively to his favorite band, The Johnny Sailor Bolds.
Emma didn't know why she felt a pang of jealously overtake her when she saw Maleficent and Regina together.
It was like a punch in the gut. The feeling as if she had lost something so precious that she didn't even know she had until it had disappeared.
Friends shouldn't get jealous of their friend's friends right? Emma thinks to herself.
No they shouldn't, she concluded, Then why did I?
