Chapter 7: Emma's POV
In the hospital, Emma stared at the ceiling and reminisced the memory of her and Regina in the hallway at the Boston University's Department of Criminal Justice. She sighed and closed her eyes. The noises of chattering, footsteps and laughter were coming to her ears, and she didn't smile at all. Until the door opened, the blonde woman whisked to see Ruby in her military uniform and smiled.
Ruby walked away to the right side of the bed and smiled at her. She put her military dress cap off from her head and held it under her armpit. Emma looked at her and spoke lightly.
"I don't know you are in the military."
"Well, I'm enlisted this afternoon and would leave at 1400 hours. But you knew my part-time job at the dinner as a waitress."
"Where are you heading off?"
"San Antonio, Texas."
"Oh, a long trip," Emma said. Ruby gave a sad smile at her with a nod. The blonde woman opened her arms and the brunette woman in the uniform chuckled then lunged forward to her then spoke lightly.
"Take care of yourself and don't wait on Regina when she comes to see you. Just go to her."
"How did you know?" The blonde woman asked with her furrowed brows. Ruby rolled her eyes in a polite way and answered before Dr. Lucas barged in the room.
"I just got some information from Belle."
"Oh ah, I see my granddaughter is talking to my patient today before she leaves." Granny raised her eyebrows when she opened the door. Other ladies whisked to look at her and laughed. The gray-haired woman frowned and spoke in a sad tone.
"Ruby, I will miss you terribly."
"Me too," Emma exclaimed. The brunette woman shook her head and put her military dress cap on her head and straightened her uniform then spoke lightly.
"Granny, don't worry. I will call you soon after I arrive at the base camp."
"Be safe, my dear," Granny said. Ruby smiled at her, walked toward her grandmother and hugged her tightly. Emma gave a sad smile at the gray-haired woman in the doctor uniform. The ladies released their hug and looked away at the blonde woman in the bed. The brunette woman nodded with her dignity and left the room. It left Granny and Emma to look at each other. The gray-haired woman sighed and went to check on Emma's progress. The silence took over for a while.
The blonde woman went into her thinking about Regina, and she knew that she need some time to reveal her truth toward the brunette lady, but it is no way to tell the time that she had in her whole life. She remembered these words that Ruby informed her.
"Don't wait on Regina when she comes to see you. Just go to her."
The gray-haired woman went concerned when she took a glance at the blonde woman and asked right away while she checked on the progress. Emma looked away at her left and tilted her head slightly.
"What's wrong? You've been silent."
"Thinking about Regina."
"Oh. I forgot to ask you about the graduate school event last weekend. How was it?" Granny inquired while she was writing the progress on the document. The blonde woman shrugged and explained right away.
"Well, a lot of the lectures but Regina and I had our chat outside in the hallway. It's been long since last time we saw each other at Boston University."
"Oh, I see. Perhaps, she had some time to think about it. Did she?"
"I told her that I used to date the teacher back in the high school, but it was not revealed enough. Though, I told her a quote from my childhood and it said, 'Sometimes you have to listen to your mind but you will follow your heart.' It went silent after our conversation, and I left."
"Good quote. I had heard it before. It was from your foster mother, Ingrid?" Granny asked with her curiosity.
"No. It was my birth mother, Mary Margaret."
"Oh, I didn't know that you knew her name." Granny raised her eyebrows with her response. The gray-haired woman paused her writing on the document and stared at the emerald eyes.
"Well, my social worker told me about her, and I knew a little about her husband, David Nolan," Emma replied while she remembered the words from her childhood.
"Wait a minute, David Nolan was the CEO of the Snow Enterprise Inc in New York City?" The gray-haired woman squinted her eyes and asked with her knowledge.
"No. It was in Chicago and yes, he was the CEO." The blonde woman shook her head and answered.
"Oh," Granny said.
"Never mind, I don't want to talk about them. They were the one who dumped me in the alley many years ago before Ingrid fostered me." Emma said with a sigh. The grey-haired woman nodded and resumed writing in the process then smiled at the blonde lady. The blonde woman looked at the window on her right side and went into thinking about her biological parents for a while.
After several hours of discharging from the hospital, Emma walked back to Boston University and finally got to her dorm building. She came in the front lobby and saw the male resident assistant then waved her hand at him. The brunette man looked up from working on his homework and smiled at her. The blonde woman walked away to the elevator and pushed the 'up' button then waited.
She was thinking about her life with her medical condition – Breast Cancer. Emma remembered how she got there since she was 24. The elevator dinged, and she came in the lift then pushed the button for her fourth floor. The blonde woman looked up at the screen and waited for her floor. In her thoughts about Regina, she has been thinking about her since their meeting at the Graduate School Event. She hadn't heard or seen her since she was in the hospital for more tests with her doctor.
Finally, the elevator doors opened, and she strode out to reach her dorm room. But her head was bowing down, and her eyes stared at the floor while she was walking. Emma pulled her dorm key out of her coat pocket and looked up at her door. Her eyes widened at the brunette woman at her door who was waiting for her. The blonde woman opened and closed her mouth while she was staring at her.
"Hello Emma."
"Regina."
The brunette woman smiled at her and looked away at the floor then spoke lightly. Emma snapped her thoughts and tried to focus on the brunette woman's voice. It put her on the ease for a while.
"Perhaps, we should talk inside?"
"Oh right! Sorry. I just arrived from the hospital." Emma replied. Regina nodded and stepped back from the door. The blonde woman retreated to the door and put the key into the lock then turned it to unlock the door. Emma opened the door and made the hand gesture for Regina to come in her room. The brunette woman strode into the dorm room, and the blonde woman flicked the light switch then closed the door behind her.
Regina took the view around in the dorm room and nodded to herself. The room has the queen bed, kitchen counter, coffee table with a small fluffy couch. The floor lamp was in the corner near the window and beside the desk table and desk chair. It was simple enough for one person to live in the dorm. The brunette woman looked at the wall and found some pictures of the blonde woman who was smiling at the familiar brunette man in the police uniform. It took her to walk closer to the shelves and took a deep look at the picture.
Emma was feeling nervous because she had a guest. No, it was her professor that she hadn't heard for few days. She gulped and decided to put herself to step on anything. The blonde woman took her coat off and put on the standing clothes rack near her door. She looked away at the brunette woman who was staring at her picture on the shelves while she put her boots off to the shoe rack.
The blonde woman sighed and walked to the kitchen counter to make her a hot chocolate. She took a glance on Regina, who was silent and looked back to her drinks then spoke lightly.
"Regina, do you want any drinks? Water, Tea, Hot Chocolate or Coffee?"
"Coffee, black."
"Gotcha," Emma responded. The brunette woman reached the photo and held it with her hands then walked back to the couch and sat down. The blonde woman took the kettle from her cabinet and poured the water then put it on the stove over the medium heat. Emma looked away at Regina and frowned then searched for the coffee cans until she spoke again.
"Folgers, Maxwell House, Green Mountain, Starbucks or Nescafe?"
"Whatever you have in your hand," Regina replied while staring at the brunette man who was smiling at the camera. The blonde woman furrowed her brows and looked up at the cabinet. Then she looked away at the brunette woman with her perplexing look and back to her hand which she held Starbucks. Emma nodded to herself and closed the cabinets. She went to grab the mugs from the dish rack and searched for a spoon.
The kettle whistled. Emma grabbed the Swiss Miss hot chocolate packet and ripped it then poured into her mug. She did the same thing with Starbucks and poured two teaspoons of the ground coffee. Finally, the blonde woman poured the boiled water over the mugs and put it away on the stove then turned the heat off. Emma sighed and swirled the spoons in the mugs then grabbed the mug handles and walked away from the kitchen counter to the couch. The blonde woman handed the coffee cup to the brunette woman and spoke lightly.
"Here is your black coffee." Regina looked up at the picture, and her hands reached the mug and replied.
"Thank you, Emma."
"You are welcome." Emma sat down on the end of the couch with a reply and drank her mug. The brunette woman sipped it and swallowed a taste of the coffee until she looked down at the picture and spoke lightly.
"Is that Daniel in the picture?" The blonde woman looked away at the picture on the brunette woman's lap and nodded while she squinted her eyes at the brunette man's face.
"Yes. It was a long time ago."
"He looked happy," Regina said.
"Well, I thought that you don't want to talk about him." Emma nodded with her perplexed face and asked with her curiosity. The brunette woman shrugged and replied.
"I don't want it, but I saw it on your shelves."
"That's fine. So, what are you doing here at my door?" The blonde woman waved her hand and inquired. Regina looked away at her and smiled with her reply.
"I had some thoughts about your talk back in The Graduate School Event few days ago."
"And?" Emma said before sipping her hot chocolate.
"Ok, you have to believe that my parents and son talked me out of it. They've been in love with you."
"How so?" The blonde woman chuckled and responded. Regina gave a 'duh' look at her and put the picture away on the coffee table. The brunette woman sipped the coffee and put it away on the coffee table then brought her legs up on the couch and spoke lightly.
"Since they met you at the hospital, they always talked about you at the dinner time, and your presence brought the light to them. I didn't know why they took it very seriously."
"Is it a good thing?"
"Yes, it's a real thing. Let me finish."
"Sorry, please continue," Emma said while smirking at her. Regina lets a chuckle out and shook her head then explained right away.
- Flashback –
In the living room, Regina was sitting on the armchair and sipped her coffee mug while thinking about the blonde woman's words. Her father was coming in from the kitchen and brought the cookies on the plate with him. She looked up at him and smiled. The oldest man smiled at her and sat down on the couch then picked the cookie and nibbled right away. The brunette woman scrunched her nose and spoke lightly.
"Daddy, why are you eating that cookie at 2 pm? The dinner hasn't been started yet."
"No, it's my snack. So leave me be."
"Oh, I am going to tell mom about your habits."
"Don't!" Mr. Mills snarled back. It was a perfect time when Cora came in the living room with her raised brows at her husband. Others looked away at her and yelled. The oldest woman rolled her eyes and sat down on the end of the couch then spoke lightly.
"What the hell did you eat at 2 pm?"
"Umm.."
"Daddy, yes?" Regina smirked at him, and Mr. Mills looked away at his daughter with a glare. Cora rolled her eyes and grabbed the cookie from him then collected the plate and walked away with a reply.
"You have to break your habit, Henry Emmanuel Mills."
"Emmanuel is your middle name, daddy?" The brunette woman held her laughter and asked. The oldest man glared at her with a scowl. Regina laughed hard after putting her coffee on the table.
"Emmanuel! That's so hilarious."
"Shut the fuck up, Regina Maria Mills." Mr. Mills mocked. The brunette woman stopped laughing and looked at her daddy with her opened mouth. The oldest man nodded and crossed his arms over his chest.
"What did you say?" Regina asked. The oldest man arched his brows and pressed his lips altogether. The brunette woman squinted her eyes and shrugged then grabbed her coffee cup and drank it while she was thinking about Emma's words again. Cora came in again and sat down on the couch then spoke lightly.
"Regina, what's wrong? You've been quiet all day since I saw you in the morning." Mr. Mills looked away at his wife with her perplexed face and looked back at his daughter with his concerned look. Regina looked away at her mother and shrugged with a reply.
"I've been thinking about Emma's words few days ago."
"What about it, dear?" The oldest woman asked. The oldest man raised his eyebrows at her. The brunette woman sighed and put her finger on the rim of the mug then spoke lightly.
"Emma and I had a talk about the tension between us. To be honest, I have no idea what to do with myself."
"Tension?" Mr. Mills said. Regina nodded with a reply.
"Yes, she floored it with a date that I denied."
"Oh." Others said in unison. The brunette woman looked back and forth at her parents then asked.
"What?"
"Let me rephrase it, you denied the date proposal from her," Cora said.
"Technically, Jr did ask Emma and our daughter denied it." Mr. Mills said. Regina nodded. The oldest woman rolled her eyes and explained.
"Sweetheart, did you see that Emma has her eyes on you? Don't you?"
"No, I didn't."
"Oh my Lord, our daughter is blind, and it is time to take her to our eye doctor." The oldest man declared when he got up. Cora reached her husband's sleeves and pulled him to sit down then continued.
"Shut up, Henry Emmanuel Mills. Let me handle it and you listen."
"Ok, mama bear." Mr. Mills said. Regina groaned while hearing the endearment for her mother from him. The oldest woman raised her eyebrows at her daughter and replied.
"Tell me."
"I had no idea that Emma like me."
"Oh honey, she has been ogling on you since you had a conversation with Jr." Mr. Mills said.
"How did you know if Emma ogled on me?" Regina said. Others looked at each other and looked back at her daughter. They opened their mouth until the brunette man walked into the living room and interrupted their talk.
"Emma has been talking about you since you've been busy with the event. I've been sneaking several times while you were not there." Henry said. The brunette woman raised her eyebrows at her son and asked.
"What the hell? How long did you visit her?"
"Last week."
"Oh, how did she talk about me?" Regina asked again. Henry rolled his eyes and sat down next to his grandpa. Cora crossed her legs and leaned back on the couch.
"She's been thinking of you and wanted you to know that she would be there for you. But you denied her, and she has been asking about you few times after the event. For this time, Emma didn't speak about you again, and we've been chatted about other things. I tried to talk to her about you, but she seemed that she didn't want to speak about it."
"Oh, poor Emma." The oldest woman said. The brunette man looked away at his grandma and nodded. Regina looked away at the coffee table and mumbled.
"Is she ok?"
"You have to ask her when you see her," Henry spoke lightly after looking away at his mom. Mr. Mills sighed and asked.
"Do you like Emma?"
"Yes." The brunette woman said.
"Well, then go to her?"
"No."
"Why?" Henry and Cora said in unison. Regina stared at them like they grew two heads in her eyes and spoke lightly.
"It's a policy at Boston University. The professor-student relationship is violated."
"Fuck that shit." Mr. Mills explained. Others looked at him, and their mouths went open. The oldest man looked at them and rolled his eyes then continued.
"I don't give that shit policy. I didn't see anything about it. The professor-student relationship law in Boston University is bullshit. If they violate my own daughter's relationship, I could sue them with my lawyer. I don't give a fuck on that crap. Just follow your heart what it tells you."
Regina chuckled and tilted her head. Others looked at the oldest man and Mr. Mills looked away at his wife then mouthed, 'what?'. Cora smiled at her husband and looked away at her daughter then replied.
"I agreed with your father. Just let her in your life and let it flow."
"Yes, I like Emma. She's awesome." Henry said.
The brunette woman laughed when she remembered Emma's words. Others were perplexed by a laugh from her. Regina looked away at her parents and son and smiled with a reply.
"Sometimes, you have to listen to your mind but you will follow your heart."
"Emma is right. Follow your heart. Just go to her and tell how you feel." The oldest woman responded with a smile. The men nodded. The brunette woman smiled and knew that she had everything to tell Emma then got up to hug her family. Henry smiled at her and asked.
"What is that for?"
"Thank you for making me understand. Ok, I have to catch her." Regina said. Others nodded. The brunette woman walked away from the living room and paused when she heard her son's voice and turned around to look at him. The brunette man walked to her and spoke lightly.
"Emma is going back to Boston University. I just saw her today. She is released from the hospital. I just wanted you to know that than to waste your time to search for her."
"Thank you. Do you know where her dorm is?"
"I wish I knew," Henry said. Regina nodded and kissed his cheek then winked. The brunette woman grabbed her purse and keys then left the house. The brunette man smiled to himself and turned away to search for his grandparents.
- Flashback –
The ladies smiled at each other. Regina sighed and looked away at her mug then looked back at the blonde woman who was extending her hand for her mug. The brunette woman gave the cup back to her, and Emma got up to her kitchen counter. Regina put her hands on the couch, and her chin reached on her hands then watched the blonde woman do her things in the kitchen.
Emma made the second one for Regina and smiled at herself then explained right away.
"I'm glad that you are here."
"Me too." The brunette woman replied back. The blonde woman looked away at her and smiled. Other grinned. The mug was finished, and Emma walked back to her then handed the cup to Regina. The brunette woman reached her cup and sipped it right away. The blonde woman sat down in the same spot and asked.
"What are your thoughts about ours?"
"Well, I had some thoughts, and didn't know if you want this."
"I've been crushing on you since I took your classes this semester. It's been hard lately, but you are here in my dorm room."
"Oh."
"Yes, I did but I still do crush you," Emma said while giving a 'duh' look. Regina propped her elbow on the top of the couch and rested her palm on her head with her tilting head. In the silence, they had some thoughts about the relationship since they've been getting along since the hospital. The brunette woman looked away at the picture frame on the coffee table and spoke lightly.
"Well, you like me since you met me. I guess that we have to be careful on the personal and professionally around in the school and outside of the campus. I can't risk losing my job over this relationship."
"I can tell that you are afraid of taking this relationship. It's ok and just take your time. We don't have to rush or force this relationship. I understand." The blonde woman explained. Regina looked away at the blonde woman and gave a small smile then replied back.
"Not that I meant. I swore that I'm afraid it would happen to you because I don't want to hurt you. But I wanted this relationship badly, and I like you so much. I don't know how I could take this one without the consequences."
"I understand. Perhaps, we could stick with the friendship. No rush." Emma nodded with a response. The brunette woman sighed and closed her eyes. The blonde woman stared at her and tilted her head then looked away at the picture frame. Finally, she spoke with her soft tone and Regina opened her eyes when she took a look at the blonde woman's face.
"When I was young at 7 or 8 years old, I found my real parents but they died. I investigated on them for three years since I was four years old. I was smart enough to ask my social worker, and she told me that my parents were Mary Margaret and David Nolan."
"David Nolan? A C.E.O. of Snow Enterprise Inc.?" Regina asked.
"Yes." The blonde woman nodded with a reply.
"I knew him through the foundations and galas on my father's side." The brunette woman smiled at her and continued.
"You did?" Emma was surprised that Regina met him at the galas and foundations and asked with her curiosity. Regina nodded and explained.
"He was a handsome man. He has been generous to give an offer to my father. They had been working together for almost twenty years since his company was to be built." Regina said.
"Well, I never met them. I was fostered in several states until I was 17. Last time, I was in Tennessee, and I ran the small business at the stables. I was an instructor for horseriding lessons. I grew up in the country homes but not in the city. Even though, I frequently wondered about my parents if they raised me without dumping me away in the alley."
"David Nolan and Mary Margaret Blanchard-Nolan dumped you in the alley!?" Regina half-yelled at her. The blonde woman nodded. The brunette woman shook her head and looked away at the picture then spoke again.
"Not like I knew them well. I didn't know that they had a child."
"I guess that they kept a secret away from you. I assumed."
"No. They hadn't told us about you. We've been assumed that they were struggling to have a child in their family. They've been spoken several times, but they failed to mention you." Regina said.
"Oh. Perhaps, you should ask your parents about it." Emma continued. The brunette woman nodded and grabbed her semi-cold coffee then downed it and put it away on the table. The blonde woman put her legs on the couch and leaned her head back on the back of the couch then spoke lightly.
"It has been many years since I found them, but I had no time to meet them at all. My social worker told me that they died after dumping me away in the alley at least three years later. I was three years and started to be in the foster homes. That's how I grew in the foster care."
"I'm sorry." The brunette woman mumbled. Emma shook her head and sighed. Regina looked at her and asked.
"Tell me your story with your teacher before you ran away."
"Oh my god, you got curious about my past relationship."
"If you don't like to tell it, it's ok. I can listen to that story next time when you are ready to tell it."
"No, it's ok. Well, that relationship went bad." Emma mumbled after getting her chuckle out. Regina studied on the blonde woman's facial features. The blonde woman had a beauty like an angel. The brunette woman held her breath while she was studying on the beautiful pale lips and she immediately thought of kissing her at the right moment. But it snapped her out of the thoughts of the intimate moments, and she heard her name being called by the blonde woman in front of her.
"Regina? Are you listening?"
"Oh! I'm sorry. I have been zoning off sometimes. So what did you say?"
"Want me to tell you a story about Lily and me?" Emma hesitantly asked. Regina opened her mouth but went with a nod because she had no words to reply back. The blonde woman merely nodded with a sigh. The brunette woman tried to focus on the blonde woman's voice, and she felt like she was listening to the silent film.
"Lily was my teacher's name. She was my Chemistry teacher. Ironically, we had a great chemistry together. Even though, she was three years older than me. She graduated from the University of Michigan and got her B.A. degree in Chemistry and Biology. So, she came to my school in Chicago and started to teach my class for the first semester. Lily got her job at the same time; she went to the University of Illinois for her M.A. degree in teaching. We had a fall-out and sometimes, we fell in love with each other in the middle of fall semester." Emma reminisced the memories of her and Lily being a brunette woman in the pantsuit and she smiled at herself. Regina tilted her head and replied.
"You surely loved her." The blonde woman nodded and explained.
"We've been falling in love with each other, and we planned our future together. No one knew that we had a relationship until Lily decided to leave me without letting me know. She just gathered her things in her place and left quickly before I arrived there to see her. I didn't know what's going on with her, but I found out that –" Emma stopped there and looked down at her hands. The brunette woman furrowed her brows and asked.
"Found out what?"
"Lily was married to her husband, Samuel Johnson, who was a head detective from Michigan. He came to me and asked me if I saw her. I asked him why searching for Lily. He told me that he was married to her and explained everything. I just connected the clues, and I just knew that Lily escaped away and searched for her life to be alone. Well, Lily was a sex offender, and her name was not real. It was Victoria Crowne, a sex offender for fifteen years. She changed her name and everything else to be Lily Page."
"Wow, that one took you hard. I'm sorry."
"Yeah, I know. I was shaken by the thoughts of Victoria or Lily. I felt being lying from her and we had intimate moments together, but I've been moving on for years. I hadn't been dating since I was 17. But at the beginning, I found out about her, and the burden took me hard to fight the urge that I tried to forget her but I couldn't stand by seeing her face everywhere."
"How did you overcame the fear by not seeing her?" Regina asked. Emma looked away at her and shrugged then continued.
"I went seeing my therapist for few months, and it helped. Until I decided to escape away from my foster life to make my life in Boston. I was at my work in New York for several hours, but I planned to take my life out by jumping over the Brooklyn Bridge. Several minutes later, I was taken in by your ex-boyfriend, Daniel. That's how that photo landed on my coffee table."
The brunette woman looked away at the picture and studied on Daniel's face. The brunette man was in the police uniform, smiled at the camera while he was wrapping the blonde woman's shoulders. Emma was smiling widely in her khaki pants and a long-sleeve blue T-shirt with Police Academy Logo on her left chest. They were in joy. Regina continued to study on the brunette man for a while and continued.
"When was it taken?"
"When I was his assistant for a short time in the summers and he was my mentor to help me understand how the police business worked in New York City. He helped me to get my GED and passed it. I got my high school diploma. He was the only one who helped me out with college before he died in years later before I applied the graduate school."
"Oh." Regina stared at the emerald eyes and mumbled in response.
"Want to hear more about him?" Emma asked. The brunette woman shook her head and spoke lightly.
"No, I prefer to hear your story and your life. If it's ok with you."
"It's fine," Emma said.
"So, your life has been ups and downs since you were an orphan if it is offensive to you. I apologize."
"That's ok." The blonde woman replied back.
"So, are you taking this relationship with me if you are willing to take it slow with us? To be honest, I've never been with the women before." Regina said.
"Oh, you never date the women before if I ask."
"Yes, You've been not listening what I say. I never date the women before, but this one is very new."
"Just take it slow if you are willing to go out on the date with me this weekend?" Emma boldly inquired. The brunette woman chuckled and explained right away.
"I'd love to go out on the date with you on three conditions."
"What are these three conditions?"
"Firstly, tell me about your backstory when you lived in here for half of your life. Secondly, we don't call the relationship if our date went badly. Thirdly, we keep our life to be low-key around in the campus and outside of the campus."
"Well, to answer your first two conditions, I understand. But to your third terms, I proposed the law to the school of the board few years ago before you came here. It's been passed over the years. We could do freely in the public as long as we keep our intimate moments in the private. We can kiss, hold the hands and take a conversation through our dinner dates in the public that it's legal. But for our intimate business, it's not permitted on the campus only."
"What the hell!? Why didn't you tell me in first place!?" Regina half-whined. The blonde woman laughed and shook her head then spoke lightly.
"We are on the campus as long as we keep our bodies apart from lunging at each other for the intimate business." The brunette woman blushed in the crimson red. Emma scooted herself to be closer to Regina and moved her top chest to lean forward. Her pale lips brushed on the red lips and pecked quickly into a kiss. Regina closed her eyes and let Emma kiss her lips. The brunette woman felt the fireworks in her body and let it loose then slowly opened her mouth. Their tongues started to touch each other and mesh together.
Emma put her hands on the brunette woman's legs and caressed her touches up to the waist to grip easily. Regina put her hands on the blonde woman's shoulders to hold her, and they delved into their mouths in an intimate moment. They didn't realize that they took it quickly and didn't stop for their breath. They continued their ministrations to kiss each other's lips.
Several minutes later, they were in the cloud nine and finally broke a kiss with their smiles. They broke into laughter and saw their hair being messy. Regina leaned forward to take the last kiss on the pale lips. Emma grinned and leaned backward then tilted her head. The brunette woman chuckled and spoke lightly.
"I think that we've been taking one too far."
"Yes, you have a smudged spot on your lips. Let me do it." The blonde woman reached her thumb on the smudged red lipstick on the top of the lips and swiped it quickly. She showed the red tint on her thumb. The brunette woman laughed and explained.
"Oh thank you for saving my embarrassment before I leave here with that intimate look."
"No problem."
"I think that we solved our issues. Thank you for letting me come in and have a talk." Regina said. The blonde woman nodded with a smile.
"Regina, it's been my pleasure. It's taking you long to realize that."
"Shut up." The brunette woman retorted. Emma rolled her eyes and grabbed the mugs from the coffee table then walked back to the kitchen counter. Regina got up and grabbed her purse that she forgot to put it on the table. It was at the door. The brunette woman turned around and watched Emma doing the cleaning then walked toward her. She put her purse on the couch on her way to the kitchen counter.
Regina smiled at herself when she wrapped her arms around in the blonde woman's waist and leaned her head on the shoulder to catch a kiss from Emma. The blonde woman tilted her head to kiss her back and smiled into their kiss. They stayed there for a while until Emma turned in the brunette woman's arms and gave an intimate kiss on the red lips once again.
They broke into a kiss and smiled at each other. They pecked several kisses and went into their embrace for a while. Regina released her arms and spoke lightly.
"I have to go now. It's late."
"Oh, right. It's 6 pm." The blonde woman looked away at the clock on the wall and spoke lightly.
"Yes, I don't want to miss my mom's cooking." The brunette woman continued.
"You go ahead. So, see you in class tomorrow." Emma said, and they walked to the door. The blonde woman opened the door and leaned on the doorframe with a smile. Regina smiled and leaned forward to kiss her on the pale lips then spoke lightly.
"See you, Emma. Thank you."
"You are welcome. Drive safe." The blonde woman replied.
"I will."
Regina smiled at her and walked away to the elevator. Emma watched the brunette woman finally coming in the lift and heard the door closing then closed the door. She smiled at herself and went to do something on her productive evening. It was a good day for her since they resolved the issues together on the couch. She understood how Regina felt toward her, and the blonde woman felt better by then. Emma was looking forward to being in her class again.
