Falling In Love

Part 7

5 weeks later

A frustrated emma pulled out every clothing she had, out of her messy closet. The blonde was trying to find something decent to wear for her first date with regina. Regina probably wouldn't even care what emma wears on her date. She groaned again, putting her face in her hands. Emma was very nervous about her very first date with an extraordinary girl. She needed this to be perfect. The blonde decided to call in the big guns. She grabbed her phone, dialing a few numbers.

Hey Emma- Ruby

Hey, I need your help- Emma

With the date?- Ruby

How'd ya know- Emma

Because I can smell your frustration through the phone and the sound of your voice is giving it away, emma. I was there when you asked her, remember?- Ruby

Oh shit ya I forgot. Well get your ass over here, I need you- Emma

Ruby laughed, I'm on my way.

Emma smiled. She thought back to when she asked regina on a date, more than 3 days ago. The blonde was a thieving mess.

Flash back

Ruby and Emma stood in the middle of the hallway, just a few feet from where regina was standing near her locker. Emma tightened her grip on the stem of the colorful tulips in her hand. She pet taking a few deep breathes, which mostly seemed emma was having a panic attack. Regina sure has done a number on emma since they known each other. Ruby nudged emma forward a little, "Come on, go ask her".

Emma nodded her head rapidly, pushing herself to regina. She took another deep breath, just a precaution from passing out if she did so. Emma tapped regina on the shoulder, "Regina?". Regina smiled as she turned around, loving the sound of emma's voice. The blonde's shaky right hand lifted up, giving regina the tulip flowers. The brunette happily took the flowers as she brought them up to her nose, breathing in the sweet lingering smell. Emma's face turned red in an instant, wondering how this women can make everything look so sexy.

Emma pointed to each colorful pedal.

"Red symbolizes true love, Purple symbolizes royalty, and the yellow represents hopeless love for cheerful thoughts and sunshine"

The brunette pulled Emma close, not caring in the sightless to what other people might think in this school. Resting her forehead onto emma's, she steadily claimed Emma's lips in a consuming heartfelt kiss. Emma moaned as she felt Regina's soft tongue, making her blood boil inside. Regina clutched onto Emma's head, tangling her fingers in her golden curls. Emma laughed when they pulled away, letting a oof sound. Regina smirked.

"So what was it you wanted to tell me"

"Would you uh like to do that thing uh that thing that couples do. Not that we are a couple, I mean... wait are we?

Emma grabbed the back of her neck, cursing herself for be an idiot when it comes to Regina. Regina closed her locker, "I'll tell you right now". The blonde's lips smudged up, scrunching her nose, looking confused. Regina went around emma's back, snacking her arm around emma's waist and resting her hand on her stomach. She licked the tip of the shell of emma's ear, nibbling gently.

"Yes". Then she walked off.

"She is such a tease". Emma muttered under her breath as she practically skipped to class.

End Flashback

Emma smiled at the memory. She shook her head, thinking about her life with Regina so as long as the brunette will have her. She can't say that they will be together forever, although the first person you fall in love with, will be your last. You'll always find your way to back to that person. Perhaps it was time to tell her about A. Fear then trembled inside her stomach as the blonde remembered what A had said. The words floated in head, each letter spreading out into the darkness. Her phone buzzed

How about a thank you for getting rid of your bullies- A

Emma got from the bed, angrily chucking her phone to the wall. It shattered into a thousand pieces. The blonde broke down, sitting on the edge of her bed crying. She felt as if it was her fault that Killian and Kathryn died. She didn't like what they said to her but she also didn't want them to die. Regina would never forgive her for what she did in the past or even now. Emma never told anyone about what happened on December 15, 2001. How did A know who I am, Emma whispered. Who could have known? Emma cleared the evidence, wiping off the fingerprints of the crime scene she committed. Emma didn't mean to do it but she had to act fast. David and Mary Margaret would kick her out if they found that their daughter they love and care for is a murder. She can't let A destroy her family.

Emma grabbed her home phone, dialing Regina's number first. She breathed heavily into the speaker when the ringing stopped, and voicemail answered.

Hey this is Regina mills, please leave a message after the-

Emma closed her eyes, knowing that it will be the last time she will that angels voice.

"Regina Mills, ever since I first laid eyes on you, I knew that you were going to be the one who will touch my heart and you did, you just haven't broken it yet. I did something I'm not proud of when I was a child and someone found out. I have to go, to protect my family. To protect Mary Margaret, David, Ruby, and you. You guys are family and I love you so much. I can't let anyone else get hurt because of me. Don't come looking for me please, it's best if you live without me. I'm so sorry I never told you, gina. Bye. Maybe someday we will see each other again.
