"Regina I have something to tell you?..."

Gently holding her hands in his, Samdi looked deeply into her beautiful brown eyes. She was truly gorgeous he thought to he knew that if he wanted a relationship with her he had to tell her the truth and be honest.

"I am here for the Dark one's dagger." Facilier said, Honesty wasn't his strong suit but with her it seemed to come easier. Over the years his feelings for Regina only seem to get stronger and with true honesty he had never stopped loving her from the moment he laid eyes on her back in the Enchanted Forest. She was the only one that understood him inside and out plus she knew all his tricks under the sun. When she was the Queen he would always be enchanted by her, he loved everything about her from her natural beauty to her sass. She was always full of surprises and it drove him crazy.

" You know despite our twisted history together, Rumple is my oldest friend. Do you really think I'm going to stand by and let you kill him?" Regina couldn't believe this. Why on earth does he want with the dagger? she thought to herself. What ever the reason she couldn't let him get it no matter how much she cared for him. She hadn't expected him to tell her truth but knowing him for so long she knew when he was lying and right now he was telling the truth. However if Lucy could find more information she could truly get to the root of his plan. Yes she knew sending her Granddaughter into his apartment was risky but she just had too, she had to know who side he was on.

"No." Facilier had expected that Regina would be upset with his true intentions. Facilier watched how her face changed, she had lost her beautiful charming smile and became more stern. He knew that she hadn't expected him to tell her the truth so fast but he could tell she wanted to know more. " Regina you know what kind of man I am."

"That doesn't explain why you want the dagger Samdi, normally people go after the dark one because of something personal so what did Rumple do to you?" Regina watched how uncomfortable he had become when she asked him the question. She knew she had poke something emotional as he remained quite for a while. She had never seem him like this, Samdi was always charismatic as well as persuasive but she had never seen this side of him. His vulnerable side and it made her heart leap out for him.

Samdi had remained quite. He couldn't look at Regina as the conversation became more personal. He had never told her about his personal life or anyone for that matter even in their past he never spoke of his old life. He believed that what happens in the past should stay in the past. However Regina had picked up on his nervousness and placed a hand on his cheek making him look back into her deep brown eyes again. "You can tell me." she said softly which reassured him to continue.

"He took away my mother and I want Revenge Regina...He is the reason why I'm like this. I can't let him get away with that...I can't. Samdi whispered the last part as old memories flooded his mind. Trying to keep himself together he was suddenly surprised by Regina's lips on his. He was shocked at first by after a moment he pulled her closer and deepen the kiss. Her lips were so soft and he couldn't get enough of them. After a couple of moments they both ran out of breath and slowly pulled apart from each other.

" I understand how you feel but why haven't you told me this before?" Regina said with concern in her tone. Samdi loved the caring side of Regina it was one of the traits he loved most about her apart from her sass and resilience.

" Regina you knew me back then I wasn't always a honest man. Telling the truth made me feel vulnerable but with you I feel like I can tell you everything, You truly are special to me Regina." smiling at her Samdi pushed back her front curls behind her ear. he noticed the little blush creeping up on her cheeks and he couldn't help but deepen the his smile. He couldn't deny it anymore he really did love her and he didn't want to hide it. " Regina I really have strong feelings for you and I've never stopped feeling this way about you."

Silence had washed over them when he finally revealed his true feelings. Regina she looked away to hide her emotions from him but he could tell she felt the same. After a moment Regina looked back at him with a nervous smile. She held his hand more closely to her chest; her heart was racing. " I Have strong feelings for you too... but if you truly want to be with me you have stop this revenge, we can find another way to solve this together. I have been down this patch before and it will only lead you to a miserable life."Samdi knew that she was right but something inside him was pulling him to follow his plan to destroy the beast that ruined his childhood. However he also wanted to be with his queen more then anything , he couldn't lose her again especially if she was feeling the same.

However Regina could tell he was conflicted, she understood his anger towards Rumple as she too had her share of hatred but she was a different person now. She had redeem herself so falling for an villain ex-boyfriend wasn't good idea but she couldn't help it. She wanted to help him and lead him away from the dark but he had to choose it for himself.

" You have to make a choice, Revenge or us . You should think about it." Letting go of his hands, Regina placed another soft kiss on lips. " Let me know when you decide but until then I got get back to the bar thank you for coming with me for lunch." Regina never thought that just one lunch with him would make her want him even more especially now she knows his motive. She wanted to know more about him and to see that sensitive side again, he really did drive her crazy.

" I will give you a lift to the bar." he said holding her hand as they walked towards his car.

"You don't have to, I am quite capable of making my own way home?" Regina said with a teasing smile which made him pull her closer to his side. She let a laugh escape her lips as she rested her head on his shoulder. She really hoped he would change for her because she didn't want to lose what they had together. He was a new flame in her heart she wanted to keep it alight.
