The Law of Love ~ #Wattys2015

Chapter 20

It was Saturday morning and Regina woke up first. Excitement built up so much inside her, that sleeping was close to impossible. She was getting a new car today, AND she was getting to decorate Roland's nursery, finally. She sat up in the bed and looked over at Robin. He was lying flat on his stomach with his mouth wide open and drool slowly dripping onto his pillow. He was also snoring quietly. Regina found all of those things somehow attractive. She loved watching him sleep, and this morning she really didn't want to wake him, but then again she REALLY wanted to wake him and get their day started.

She nudged his shoulder lightly to no avail. She tried shaking him a little harder, still nothing. Then she thought of something... a kiss. He could never miss out on a kiss, and she was certain this would work. She leaned down and pressed her lips against his. Within seconds she felt her fiancé's lips begin to kiss back. It worked! Regina began laughing as they kissed and Robin pulled away.

"What's so funny?" he asked groggily.

"Oh nothing..." she replied.

"Uh-uh I know it's not nothing. Tell me," Robin urged.

"You're just adorable." She continued to laugh.

"Yes, but you've said that to me many times before, but this is the first time you've laughed about it. There must be something you're leaving out," he said, his voice still sounding tired.

"Well apparently the only way to wake you up is by kissing you," she informed.

Robin laughed.

"See I'm not the only one who think's its funny," Regina commented.

"Well I apologize that you had to kiss me to wake me up. I do hope you weren't scarred for life by doing so," he joked.

"Oh yeah, it took a lot of courage to have to kiss those lips," she winked. She leaned back down to his lips and kissed him. "Man, that was just horrible," she said as she moved away from his lips. "Just horrible," she joked.

Regina started to move off the bed, but Robin stood up on his knees and tackled her onto the bed. "Oh really? It's that horrible? Well maybe I just need practice," he smirked before slamming his lips onto hers. He was forceful, but not in a rude or harmful way; just passionate. He slipped his tongue to touch her bottom lip, to which she opened her mouth in response. A minute or two later he pulled his lips off of hers and smirked down at her. "Was that any better?"

"Still rusty. You're gonna need a lot more practice before our wedding night. You don't seem to know what you're doing quite yet..." she said jokingly with a smirk, but it sounded a little too serious.

Robin's eyes widened. Regina put her hands behind his neck and tried to bring his face back down to meet hers, but Robin slipped his head out from her hands and sat up all the way. Regina could see the hurt in his eyes.

"Robin, you know I didn't mean it like that..."

Robin didn't say a word. He got out of bed and began walking to his closet. Regina quickly followed after him and tried to grab his hand but he yanked it away from her. He walked into his closet and slammed the door. If there was one thing Robin Locksley couldn't stand for people to joke about, it was his virginity. While he took it seriously, and wanted to be faithful to his code, it still bothered him if people made joking references to it. Even though he knew Regina wasn't being serious, it still felt demeaning.

Regina walked up to his closet door, which was now locked, and knocked gently. "Robin, please open up," she requested, but got no response. "Look I'm sorry... I was just trying to play along with you, but I took it too far. Please, just hear me out," she pleaded.
