I stood over Emma while she slept and just watched the blonde for a minute. I placed a small spell over her to keep her asleep and then took a deep breath. "Sorry Swan. Being friends with me has it's downfalls." I said, barely audible. I sunk my hand into her chest and latched onto her heart. I bit my lip before retracting my hand. I looked down at the red heart and smirked. "I'm a handful Swan. Hope you can handle it." I said before flashing away, back to my empty mansion. I opened my nightstand drawer and pulled out the small box. I placed a kiss on Emma's heart before setting it in the box carefully. I put the box in the drawer before using a spell to make the drawer seem empty. I closed the drawer before smiling to myself. Too easy.

After a week, Emma was hanging around me like a lost puppy. no one understands. not even me, really, since this shouldn't change anything because i haven't had the heart out of the box yet since i got it. "Hi Regina." Emma said as she walked into my office at town hall, smiling. i smiled as she sat down in one of the chairs across from my desk. she had closed the door behind her. "Hello dear. how may i help you?" i asked and we both chuckled. she shrugged. "i finished my rounds early and i wanted to come see you." she said and smiled. i blushed softly and bit my lip. "that's very sweet, dear." I said and she hummed. "how's your morning been?" she asked and i shrugged. "just been filling out paperwork." i said and she nodded. "how was yours?" i asked and she smiled brightly. "it was fine. thanks for asking." she said and i nodded. "are you doing anything tonight?" she asked almost nervously. "no... why." i said and she bit her lip, playing with a thread on her shirt. "well.. Henry's gonna be gone all weekend on his school trip and i don't like being alone a lot.. i-it might be nice if we did something together." she mumbled nervously and i smiled, deciding to pick on her a little bit. "and you can't spend time with your parents?" i asked and she bit her lip. "date night." she said and continued to stare at her lap. "and the pirate?" i asked, semi-joking and semi-curious. "ew. i don't like him. but if you don't want to-" "Emma, darling, i was joking." i said and her head snapped up to me. i smiled softly and her breathing hitched. "s-so you'd like to?" she asked and bit her lip. i smiled. "how about you come over for dinner around six and then stick around awhile?" i asked and she smiled brightly, nodding.When the doorbell rang at six, i immediately pulled it open. Emma's eyes went wide and i smiled. I'm in a black long sleeve body con dress and stilettos. she's in jeans and a tucked in button up. "You look... woah.." she mumbled and i chuckled. "it looks like we've both dressed for a date, hm?" i asked as she came in and i turned her around, taking her hair out of the high braid/ponytail thing she had in. "yeah looks like it. did that not look good? I saw it in a magazine and thought i'd try it.." She mumbled and i fluffed her hair out. I smiled and led her to the kitchen. "It looked wonderful. I just like your hair down, darling." I said and she nodded, a smile on her lips and she sat at one of the barstools at my kitchen island. "I like when you call me darling." She said and i noticed her button up was buttoned up a little too far for my liking. i walked over, smiling. "is that right, darling?" i asked as i unbuttoned her next three buttons, leaving four unbuttoned in total. She nodded and i smiled. "i made lasagna for dinner." i said and walked to the oven. stop flirting so much Regina. this isn't part of the plan.
"So, what's this movie about again?" I asked as we sat watching one of Emma's favorite movies. It's called the Perks of Being a Wallflower. "his mental illness." She said and i hummed. "okay." i said and leaned my head on her shoulder.

Months passed and i still hadn't even touched her heart. "Hello Regina." Emma said as she walked in my office. I smiled and got up, walking to her and wrapping my arms around her neck. I pressed my lips to hers and we kissed softly, her hands taking purchase on my hips. We pulled out of our kiss sooner than our liking and smiled at each other. "Are you free tonight?" Emma asked softly and i nodded. she hummed. "I'll pick you up at six?" she asked and i smiled. "that's perfect darling." i said and she kissed me softly. i hummed and kissed her back until we pulled away. then i just held her."Babe! i'm here!" i heard shouted from downstairs and my eyes went wide realizing it was already six. "i'll be right down!" i shouted and pulled on my heels. I looked myself over in the mirror before going downstairs and Emma smiled at me. "you look wonderful." i said softly and she smiled again. "thank you. so do you." she said and i smiled. we left my house and started walking through the already dark down. all of a sudden, Emma pushed me against a tree. "w-what are you doing?" i asked, scared. she smiled. "don't be scared babe." she said and leaned in, kissing me softly. i kissed her back and much too soon she was pulling away. "i know you have my heart." She said and my heart dropped. "I-I... I-i don't know what you're talking about." I stuttered as she pinned me against the tree. "Yeah? So you don't know anything about sneaking into my house when I was half asleep? Hmm?" She said and pushed her leg between mine. I tried to stifle a moan and I put my hands on her shoulders. "I-I don't know." I mumbled. "You sure?" She asked and brushed a piece of hair behind my ear. I shrugged as she pulled her leg back. "Don't lie to me." She whispered into my ear in a seductive manner. I felt my breathing hitch. "Tell me you have my heart." She said and stared into my eyes. "I won't get mad." She finished. I took a deep breath. "I... Have your heart." I said and swallowed heavily. She smirked, then brought my lips to hers. After a few minutes, she pulled away. "Now. Why don't you tell me why exactly you took my heart." She said and traced my jawline with her index finger. i bit my lip and looked away. "i was lonely. i was going to make you love me. i wanted you to. so i stole your heart." i said, ashamed. "but you haven't used it. and do you know why?" she asked. i shrugged. "because i love you. i already did. i just didn't know if you felt the same. but you stealing my heart proved to me you did." she said and i turned, kissing her passionately. "i'll give it back." i gasped out as we pulled away for air. she chuckled. "keep it. if i didn't trust you with it, i would've had it back by now." she said softly and i smiled, biting my lip. this is what it feels like to be loved? well it feels pretty damn good.
