A/N Thanks for all the wonderful support you guys have shown me. I don't know how long this story is going to be but I guess there's like 3 chapters left (maximum). Thanks for sticking with me. Here you have a quick update x
The blonde was inching closer and she felt her heart thundering in her chest, like if it wanted to be set free. She closed her eyes and waited for the kiss. Their lips barely brushed, tentatively, and she was sure that she was going to explode right there. With a sigh, that she didn't know who it belonged to, they dove in, tasting each other's lips, letting Emma lead the kiss. Emma lips were soft and tender. Her mind was swimming in the feeling, nothing else mattered.
A sharp slam of the front door made her come back to reality, detaching herself from the other woman as if their mere contact burned her skin. Panic washed all previous emotions..
"It's my mother" she whispered hurriedly, one hand running her hair nervously "Hide"
"What?" the blonde got up from the bed
"Hide" she whispered more forcefully this time, dragging her to her big wardrobe
"Umpf" with a thud she closed the damn thing with a very confused blonde inside
"Regina" her mother's voice was close, and Regina could't help but shiver a bit
"Mother" when the older Mills got inside her room, she tried to pretend as if she had been caught reading the latest book she had bought
"Have you seen my blue button-up shirt?" she got closer to the closet, making Regina to jump into motion trying g to divert her attention
"No, haven't seen it, you should check the laundry room, maybe it's there" she tried, and hoped to sound casual
"I might have put it in your closet" she tried to reach out for the closet door, but Regina got in the way
"Impossible, I would have noticed" she tried to change the topic because she was desperate "I'm going back to work tomorrow"
"Huh? I thought you had still a day or two of vacations"
"Yeah, but it's unfair that Ruby has to cover me, and I'm as good as new"
"Okay" she ran her fingers though Regina's dark locks "I'm going to fix us something to eat" and as she left, she said above her shoulder "And have a shower while I'm at it"
She let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding. When the footsteps were barely hearable she opened the closet "Sorry" she smiled apologetically at the still stunned blonde
Suddenly the blonde started laughing out loud "Haven't been closeted in a long time"
"what?" the blonde had been lacking some oxygen in there because she didn't understand what she had just said
"I'll put it this way" she lunged forward to kiss her, cupping her face. The kiss was short, but it hinted something more, something that was worth looking forward.
"Mmmm… still don't get it" she tried to get her brain to think quickly, but it was still lost in the kiss
"I like girls, Regina" she stated it with a clear 'duh' in her voice
"Oh,….oh!" she flushed in embarrassment for not getting something as obvious as that
"And.." she continued as she hadn't been interrupted by the other woman "I wasn't sure if you liked girls too, but I thought I was quite obvious"
"I guess I'm not as perceptive as I thought I was" she stopped before adding "And I never liked a girl before" she confessed, avoided the piercing emerald gaze
The blonde stood there in silence,and grabbed one of her hands
"That's nothing to be ashamed off" seeing that the brunette wouldn't held her gaze, she lifter her chin with a finger "Hey" she said softly, tilting her head to one side
"Okay" she responded with a shy smile starting to break though
"Okay, with that sorted, how am I supposed to leave this place without your mom seeing me?"
"Shit, I forgot" her mind started running though the possible scenarios that that would bring, an she wasn't prepared to none of them
Suddenly, the blonde got up from the bed and went to the little balcony situated in Regina's room
"What about this way?"
"You could hurt yourself, the fall it's quite big" she started to worry, she wouldn't allow Emma to get hurt just because she wasn't ready to introduce her to her mother
"Not if I hold on into a branch" she signaled her honeycrisp tree that was close enough to her balcony to grab on of the longest branches
"Emma, I don't want you to get hurt, what if… Emma!" she tried not to shout to loudly as the other woman jumped boldly and held on to the branch
"Shhh.. you'll get us caught and this would be for nothing" she shushed her
"okay, okay.. just be careful" she fidgeted as Emma let herself fall into her lawn. She gave her a thumbs up and a wink and she ran away
She let out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding and shook her head smiling "Emma" and headed out to have a much more needed shower.
