Falling In Love

Part 11

Regina awaited David's arrival at Granny's Diner. She brought the hot steamy coffee to her lips, the liquid flowed down through her throat, burning her tongue, as the liquid dissolved in her stomach. Taken by the lack of dark circles beneath her eyes, Regina hasn't been able to to get any sleep since her mother got arrested and finding Emma in the woods. She rolled her brown eyes, laughing between the good memories and bad memories she had with her mother. Laugh at the bad ones, and cry at the good ones.

The bad ones remind you of hating that person. The one person who you thought you could count on, then they let you down. It's funny because that one person you still love hurt you over and over. Your husband hit you, you still love him, your kid committed a murder, you still love them, Your mom yells at you or you yell out of anger, and say "I hate you". You two still love each other. Regina will always love her mother. After everything Regina has been put through, what cora put her through. Nothing will make her happier if she can see her own mother change. To see a twinkle of light somewhere in her eyes. The eyes that watched her own daughter grow up into an extraordinary, brave, and beautiful women.

"Hi Regina", David held a coffee mug in his hand. He took a seat in the booth across from the brunette.

"Hey, so are we here to discuss my mother's arrest?"

David nodded, placing the case file that he held in his other hand on the table. He opened the folder, switching it over for Regina to see.

"You do know why she was arrested right?"

"Stole $ 50,000,000,000 from the CEO company funding system to help the poor, Ya I know. My mom only cared about three things. Herself, money, and power. She has never set one foot down to tell me she loved me"

"I'm very sorry for how your mother treated you"

Regina shrugged her shoulders. "It's fine, I'm just glad I don't have to deal with her"

"Cora will be spending a good twenty years in prison"

"That's all I needed to hear, oh have you found who ever took Emma?"

"No but we are going to take another look"

"We?"

"Oh me and my partner, graham. He's super nice. Emma adores that man, maybe you would like to meet him"

"Ya, that would be nice"

The Queen spotted her white knight on a white horse. The white horse galloped across the field of tall green grass where her queen awaits beneath the apple tree. The White knight said, "My Queen, my queen come take a ride with me beneath the sun that shines upon you, revealing such beauty you are". The Queen smiled, bowing down as she said. "Why my white knight, how kind of you to say". The White Knight slipped off her horse, flicking her cape over. She bowed down on one knee, offering a hand for her queen to take. Bright Green looked upon brown eyes that belonged to her queen. Such beauty, such faith, and inspiration of wisdom and strength was all she saw in those brown eyes.

"What do you say my queen?". The Queen pinched both sides of her dress, placing her heel flat on the side of her other leg, courting her white knight. The Queen took her hand, as she said. "I would love nothing more to ride beneath the sun that shines so bright but you my dear are the most fairest of them all, and only such beauty you have".

Regina swung her legs on the wooden castle where she used to play as a child. She was sitting down on the platform, waiting for Emma's arrival. Her thoughts swirled around the place to the secret she hid from Emma about her meeting Emma when they were younger, from who is this A person who knew about her mother's arrest. The brunette unlocked her phone, opening a new text message to send to the blonde.

Are you almost here- Regina.

She switched off her phone, placing it between her thighs. The brunette swung her legs even faster, tipping her head side by side. Regina caught the wind that traveled through her long wavy black hair. Her thighs buzzed, a green light blinked on the screen of her phone. Regina opened her phone, checking the message.

If you are going out on a date, don't go out with a liar. Why don't you ask little Emma if she knew anything about your mother's arrest- A

Emma hurriedly ran over to the wooden playground castle. "Hey sorry I'm late". The blonde climbed up the three steps, plopping down next to Regina. Emma giggled, kissing regina's cheek to snap the brunette out of her thoughts.

"Oh, sorry I was just thinking".

"About what?". Emma leaned back, putting both of her hands on the platform, supporting her balance. Regina's breath got caught in the air, loving the feel of Emma's thigh touching her. They both sat so dangerously closed to each other.

"Nothing to worry about. How are you doing with everything?"

"I'm okay, I just hope David finds whoever did this to me"

"I hope so to"

"I wanted to thank you for saving my me. You saved my life". Emma took a deep breath, taking Regina's hand to lay down on her lap. "You're my hero Regina Mills". The brunette lifted her other hand up, planting it on Emma's soft duckling cheek. Regina smiled, deeply gazing in emma's bright green eyes that she wanted to wake up to. "It wa my pleasure. I told you I'll keep you safe"

I surrender honestly.

You've always done the same for me.

So I would do it for you, for you.

Baby, I'm not moving on,

I'll love you long after you're gone.

For you, for you.

You will never sleep alone.

I'll love you long after you're gone

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

Emma smiled, resting her head on Regina's shoulder. The brunette laid her hand on the side of Emma's head, holding her close.
