Love Without Cause

Ch. 7

Us

It's been about a week or two since Regina's accident. Regina's recovery was going very well. Robin was still taking great care of her. She was slowly falling deeper in love with him as was he with her. Seeing his caring nature was indeed a turn on. Robin loved taking care of Regina. It made him feel like she needed him now more than ever. The being with her 24/7 was one of the perks of taking care of her.

Regina decided it was best not to tell Emma about her accident during her honeymoon. Mary-Margret & David had their hands tied with work and taking care of Neal & Henry while Emma was gone. It was just Regina & Robin?. Not quite.

Throughout the week Zelena made her way in and out of Robin's penthouse. First it was only a couple of minuets, which led to hours, then today she came over early in the morning and has been devouring Robin's whiskey all day. It was the good kind too. Regina spent the day in her room, ignoring Zelena's endless flirting. Shutting people out was one of her specialties, so is sass.

Regina had been drawing on a napkin she found in the kitchen for the past hour and a half. Her drawings consisted of hearts, crowns, multiple 'R's, & a bunch of quotes. Robin came into her room from time to time. Regina did not like seem to want to talk to Robin. To her avail & under unfortunate circumstances, the walls were not thick enough to block out voices. Zelena would not stop flirting, if anything she was lucky Regina was in that wheel chair. Words can't explain the bad blood between these two.

When Regina was 13 she had a boyfriend, Daniel. It lasted three years. They were happy, really happy. Until Daniel wanted to take it to the next step. One day he invited Regina over to 'watch a movie.' While they were watching the movie Daniel got handsy and started kissing Regina hungrily. She knew where he was wanting to take it, she didn't want to do it. Daniel kept kissing her while she tried to push him away with her tiny hands. Everything she tried failed, she finally gathered up all of her strength and pushed him off of her. Regina ran out the door into her car and left. The next week her and Daniel had worked things out and agreed that nothing of the sort would happen between them. Zelena & Regina were close back then. One day a couple weeks after the incident between Regina and Daniel, Regina went to go visit Daniel when he was 'out with the flue.' She walked in and then into his room after looking for him downstairs . Regina didn't know what she was about to witness. She saw two people in the bed. It looked as if it were a girl & Daniel, it was Zelena. The girl was Zelena. They bodies were bare. Right then and there Daniel broke up with Regina. In front of Zelena, Regina was humiliated. She hated Zelena.

Not only then but afterwards it had been almost two years Regina started seeing Graham. Their relationship was stable at first. Then it just broke, he was so abusive. That wasn't it, he was cheating on Regina with Zelena. Throughout the year they were dating. Regina was blinded by the fact that she kept telling herself that she was happy.

Somehow someway, Zelena always managed to come between Regina and the guy she liked. Whether the relationship was a good one or bad. Assuming that was what she was doing now, Zelena was trying to get between her and Robin. They weren't even dating. Not that she wanted to date him..

It was already 9:30 pm. Regina was fed up with this nonsense. She opened the door to her room and yelled " Listening to you has been enough suffering for all of us, shut up! "

It all got quiet. Robin went to his room and left Zelena on the couch. Not long after Regina saw Zelena walk into Robin's room. ' Great there goes another relationship down the drain, dammit I won't stand for it. ' she thought to herself. Regina tried to make her way to Robin's room but she couldn't it was helpless. Everything was quiet for minuets, everything but Regina's mind. Thoughts flowing in and out her brain, good & bad thoughts of what could be happening.

Regina soon grew very impatient, she didn't care how but she had to stop whatever was happening in that room. She made it half way to his room before she grew tired. She had an idea. She was directly in front of the door just inches away. Regina threw her shoe at the door. Robin opened the door and looked at Regina then back into the room. Regina froze. Zelena was in Robin's bed. How could he?! He lead her on.! Zelena really did it again.

Regina's eyes filled with water. She turned her chair around and started to move as quick as she could. Which wasn't quick. She at least got to her room and shut the door behind her. Robin walked in right after, he left the door open.

" Regina," Robin pleaded. It was silent. Regina wiped her eyes and completely ignored Robin. " Regina, look at me! " Robin said as he moved Regina's chair to his direction. She didn't want to look at him, she looked straight down and fiddled with the sweater she was wearing. Robin hooked one finger under her chin and moved her head for her to face him directly. He was about to say something when Regina started talking.

" Why? I just want to know why? So you lead me on and then you get in bed with Zelena? I thought I knew my best friend. I thought you were better than this, Robin. I never thought you.. you know what. It's your life , if you want to be with Zelena.. " she was interrupted by Robin's lips crashing onto hers, sharing a long passionate firey kiss. She gently pushed him away & slightly wiped her lips showing that she was still angry.

" Let me explain? " Robin asked locking his gaze with hers. " Regina, I didn't get into bed with her. Yeah she tried to kiss me, I pushed her away. After that she sat on the floor and started falling asleep so I told her to get up and lay on the bed that I'd sleep in the other guest room. She's drunk. " there was a little moment of silence, in that moment Zelena was making her way into Regina's room. "Hey, what-what are you doi-" Zelena mumbled.

" Private conversation. Go take yourself for a walk. " Regina said in jealousy. Zelena soon went back to bed, but this time she fell asleep in the guest bedroom.

" Regina, you don't have to be jealous. I like you & only you. Maybe it was your laugh, or your eyes, or your smile, it could've been your hair, or your voice, or your personality. Whatever it was, it made me fall for you. Pretty damn hard & I sure as hell won't pass up any opportunity to be with you whether we're best friends or more. I instantly smile when your name lights up my phone. This world is so big yet all of my thoughts are about you. Because every time I see you smile, I fall into wonderland. I can't even look at you without wanting to kiss you. This might not be the best way to ask, but would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend? " He said genuinely keeping his eyes locked with hers.

" What's stoping you? " Regina said with out thinking , she completely forgot about the question. Actions before words, didn't come in handy a lot but right now it did. Robin took this as a sign to act before he said anything else. He cupped Regina's cheeks and leaned in for a kiss.
Slow; Passionate. An uneven sense adrenaline rushed through Regina's veins. He kissed her like she was the world and there was nothing more to see.

" Is that a yes? " Robin asked anxiously.

" I like the sound of 'us' " Regina said as she grabbed his hand as they exchanged smiles.
