Chapter 3
"So you were here to find your boyfriend?" Emma asked as she pulled the blouse up against her body, it was too cold to walk down the street in the morning. What a great idea Swan... "Yeah, and he really had married my sister. There's nothing I can do about it." Regina said as she squeezed the coffee cup a bit more with her gloved hands. They were two blocks from Central Park and Emma was really praying for them to get to the Museum soon.
Regina said she barely knew the city, so Emma set out to do a little tour, she could take a day off at least. "Lucky for me, I do not have any brothers..." Emma said and Regina gave a funny laugh. "If you say sweetheart…" Sometimes she did not understand the woman. She laughed at some unusual phrases or situations and Emma could swear she knew more than she was telling.
"You said you knew about me and Henry, how?" She asked as they crossed a street and Regina looked at her almost guiltily. "I'm Storybrooke's mayor" the woman said and Emma would stop if they were not in the middle of the runway. "Storybrooke? Mayor?" She repeated and Regina almost laughed again. "Yes, and I know you were found there" she added, and Emma frowned.
"Yes, and since then have you developed that fascination and come looking for me, taking advantage of that you are in town?" Emma was feeling almost betrayed, how could the woman just dare to invade her life that way?
"Yes and no" Regina said and took a sip of the coffee. "You're still a citizen of my town, so I wanted to know how you are..." she said, but Emma did not seem to have bought the answer. The blonde walked up the steps of the Museum in silence and Regina feared that she had used the wrong words. She was not lying, but that was not the truth.
"Look, I was curious, okay? About how you survived and how you became the woman you are" she said when they both arrived at the concierge. Emma quickly took the wallet and paid for the tickets, there was not even time for the brunette to protest.
"I read some reports... And there are some about Henry too. He's a very smart boy. "Regina completed, and she was beginning to worry that Emma was not saying anything. It is Emma Swan for the love of the gods, she have to argue back.
The blonde finally looked at her and took a deep breath. "If you were not such a young, beautiful and seemingly good woman, I would really be very scared of you now." Emma took one of the maps and walked right past the group of tourists who were waiting for a guide. Regina smiled and went after the blonde, she was different. What was, exactly, the brunette could not yet identify.
I said beautiful? Emma shook her head, concentrated on the information in the pamphlet, and took Regina to the wildlife section. Henry loved that place. "Henry like comming here."
The woman went through each of the animals, she knew Henry liked them and secretly she liked them too. "Maybe I'll make one at Storybrooke" she smiled as she read the sign indicating a lion. "Do you have tourist attractions there?" Emma asked as she joined the woman. Regina could feel the hint of a perfume. She could not remember giving that memory to the woman, it was Emma for real.
"No, not many. We have blue lobster fishing and a large nature reserve. Unfortunately, we are not open to new fishing and hunting licenses this year. "She said and could almost see the gears running on Emma's head. "Henry would like to hunt I think" Regina watches the blonde look admiring the animals, and she would think it's a beautiful scene if she did not have a pictures of a Henry with a hunting rifle in his hands. "What did you say?" She asks, feeling the anger boil inside her chest. "Henry. He would like to hunt, the boy is very promising about target shots." As soon as Emma finished the sentence, a bulb burst into the monkey scene and she jumped back. "Did you see that?" Emma asked and Regina knew it was her fault, magic. "You taught a boy how to shoot?" She asked indignantly and Emma finally looked at the brunette. She could see the anger in Regina's eyes and for a second, she felt fear. "Y-Yes ... I'm a stalker for delinquents. I work with weapons. And I'd rather the kid know to use one than kill himself with one of them." Emma says and opens the jacket a little to show the glock in a holster on the left arm.
Regina still looks at her with a little anger, but it seems that the understanding enters the woman's mind. Emma shrugs and tries a smile. People generally do not accept this practice very well.
"As a mayor, I think I got more accustomed to politics as a weapon than a firearm ..." Regina shakes her head a little and takes a deep breath. It was a predictable consequence for the new life she gave to them...
"Well, Madame Mayor, I think your tour is over" Emma says after a few laps around the Museum. They start a quiet walk to the coffee shop. Emma would get the bug and return Regina to a place where she could walk. Is she staying away? Oh, there it is! The damned chivalry again... "Are you staying away from here?" Emma asks as they reach the yellow bug. Regina shrugs and points over her shoulder at the end of the street. Emma smiles and before she can stop the impulse, she sees herself saying that she can accompany the brown-haired woman there. "If you do not go straight to some other place of course..." she says and Regina does not hide the smile this time. "I think I could use some more of your company Miss Swan" she starts walking down the sidewalk and Emma follows.
This connection between her, was that the reason? But it was too early to tell. Early? Do you want to see Emma again?
They walked in silence this time, the air was not as cold as in the morning, but it was still winter. Emma stopped when they reached a hotel, it was big, beautiful, the kind that mayors are supposed to be... "See you tomorrow?" Regina asked and Emma's eyes widened in surprise. "I mean, if you want..." The brunette stared at the floor and Emma could not believe what her eyes were seeing. Was the woman blushing? Was that an invitation to a date? She waited for the woman to look up again and she could not help but smile. "What time should I meet you, Majesty...?" Regina laughed out loud, "Are not you trying to be gallant?" She asked, raising an eyebrow and taking a step closer to the blonde. "And you're not inviting me on a date are you?" Emma returned the question and waited. The brunette thought for a few seconds, there was no blush on the woman's face but a look that made Emma feel rushed, measured and tested. "Maybe" the brunette finally replied. Emma smiled and with a small approaching step, she blinked at the woman before smiling. "Then maybe I can be gallant..." She smiled and turned to walk the sidewalk.
"Emma?" The blonde turned one more time and Regina smiled. "Can you bring Henry?" She asked with something that looked like hope in her eyes. "Yes, but only after the fourth meeting, curious girl..." She smiled and Regina nodded. She could handle it.
