Waking up in Samdi's bed again and Regina was beginning to get used to the comfortable feeling. She felt well and truly rested plus Her and Samdi had not done anything last night when they got to his apartment. They had arrived at 4:30 am and the only thing they both wanted to do was sleep. The rest of the night was filled with warm cuddles, spooning and for Regina that was enough. Slowly opening her eyes Regina felt the warmth that once engulfed her side was gone. Turning round to hopefully to see her lover still in bed, she was meet with his absents. Sitting up on the bed Regina began to stretch her arms and limbs. Looking towards the windows the curtains had been slightly opened only letting a shimmer of light through but Regina could tell it was early morning. Finally getting out of the warm bed Regina went to get her jacket that was resting on the back the chair near the bed. Going through her pockets she got her phone to check it. " 8 missed calls and its 12 o'clock!" Regina said in complete shock. Her missed calls were from Zelena and she knew that her sister would be pissed. " Shit I need to get the bar." Rushing to find her pants as she only slept in her shirt and nickers. Regina quickly found the rest of her clothes on the other side of the bed and rushed to put them on. Busy getting dressed Regina had not noticed Samdi's footsteps coming up the stairs and entering the room.

" I see your finally up." Watching Regina ran towards his bedroom mirror like a headless chicken made him smile. Samdi Could not believe that after all these years Regina could still blow his mind with her beauty and her morning look was her best.

"Why did you not wake me up, I'm late for the bar I was so post to take over the morning shift 10 minutes ago." Regina said frustrated with him. Quickly putting on her jacket Regina then quickly searched for her shoes.

" Regina calm down I did not want to disturb your slumber." gently pulling her into embrace, Samdi wrapped his muscular arms around her body. " I'm sorry I did not wake you it's just you look beautiful when sleep." Moving his head forward Samdi captured Regina's lips for a quick peck. " I made you a to go Brunch If you want it." Once again Regina had be charmed by his ways. He knew how to make her smile and she could not be annoyed with him for long. Calming herself down she smiled at him and returned the kiss.

"Thank you but I really need to get to bar." Releasing each other from their embrace, Regina continued searching for her shoes.

" I think you left them by the front door." Samdi said as he went to make the bed. Rushing down the stairs Regina quickly put on her shoes and checked the mirror by the door for a last minute check. Her hair was still over place but right know she could worry about that later. Making sure she had all her belongs and keys Samdi came down stairs to give her to go brunch.

" Do I look okay?" Regina said slightly worried.

" You look like you just woke up but like I said before still beautiful." Samdi said charmingly.

Once again Regina was charmed and began to blush a light pink." I will give you a text when I get home I promise." Regina said as she gave him a kiss goodbye. " And again thank you for the Brunch."

"Anything for you, Will I see you later?"

" Maybe?" Regina in a flirty tone. Opening the front door Regina said her final goodbyes and made her way to The bar.

Closing the door Samdi went get dress for the rest of the day. Luckily for him he had a couple of hours before work but he still had some paperwork to do too. As his day continued he was Missing Regina's presence. Being around her always made him feel free and loved. He enjoyed laying with her and just holding her close. Listening to her calm breathing and feeling the rhythm of her heart beat on his chest, along with Smelling her apple scent from her body always relaxed him. She really was his everything. However he pushed this thoughts about Regina away. Samdi had important business to handle. Naveen's debts need to be paid.

Finally making it to the bar Regina was welcomed by a pissed off sister. The bar was quiet busy due to the lunch hour and Zelena looked ready to lecture her into next week. Before Regina could put down her bag of food, Zelena pulled Regina to side away from the customers for a private talk. " Where in the hell have you been? I checked your bedroom this morning and you where gone and I called eight times to find out where you were!"

Zelena was beyond pissed with her little sister as she woke up late for the morning shift. However Zelena could sense that Regina was different, She could tell she was hiding something from her but she could not tell what. She had been acting strange for couple of weeks and Zelena wanted to know why. " Where were you Regina?" Zelena demanded

Quickly trying think of an reason to convince Zelena Regina could only think of one that came to mind but she knew her sister wouldn't buy it. " I was out jogging."

" Really, You out Jogging. Your not even a morning person these days."

" Yeah well I could not sleep so I got up early and went jogging to clear my head and then I stopped into cafe for a light early breakfast.

" Really?!"

"yes." Regina was really trying to make up a story on the spot. She did not want to have a conversation about Samdi with her sister right now but it was getting difficult to make a believable story. " Anyway... Sorry about today but don't worry I will handle the Afternoon shift." Quickly Regina escaped her sister interrogation and began her shift behind the bar however Regina knew that the conversation with her sister wasn't over. By far.

The rest of the day went by pretty fast and Regina and Zelena deep talk was still in waiting. The afternoon shift at the bar had end and the Bar was now closed for night. Upstairs in small living-room space Zelena was reading one of her fitness magazines. Robin (Margot) was out with her new friend Tilly and Regina was taking a shower.

Coming to the end of her magazine Zelena heard a buzzing noise from the coffee table in front of her. Taking her attention away from her magazine Zelena noticed it was Regina's mobile-phone. Taking a glance at her sister's notification Zelena saw it was a message from Baron Samdi. Curiosity took over Zelena like a tsunami. Why was Baron Samdi texting Regina?! Zelena could still hear the shower going. Needing more answers Zelena Picked up the phone to unlock it. Zelena knew she was betraying her sister's trust alongside breaking Regina's privacy. Hyperion Heights was full of secrets and Zelena was sick of them. She wanted answers. No more secrets. Knowing her sister inside out like a book Zelena pushed in the numbers of Henry's birthday into the phone. Unlocking the phone Zelena began reading the message.

Regina finally finished her Shower and was planing to visit Samdi later on in the evening and remembered that she left her phone on the coffee table. Taking a shower allowed her to just take a moment for her self and relax. Wrapping herself with her soft towel, Regina let the bathroom. Quickly going into the living-room Regina to get her phone she noticed her sister was holding her phone.

"Why are holding my phone?"Regina said Looking at her sister's unhappy face with confusion. I Know about you and Facilier, He is awake, you lied to me Regina!"
