Skyline of concrete dreams- SwanQueen

Chapter 28

Notes:

Hey guys, I've been feeling unwell for a couple of days now... Luckily, I had a few chapters written in advance so it didn't really affect my updates so far (Now though, I ran out). I hope it will get better, and until then, apologies for the comments I've yet to respond to and potentially delayed updates.

-------------------------------

It's Friday and Emma's nerves drive her crazy. She knows it was coming for several days now, still the feeling of dread in the pit of her stomach drowns her entire mood for the day.

Mary Margaret senses her shift in mood and keeps her distance, only once approaching her with a cop of coco in her hand. Emma sends her a grateful look and takes a sip.

"Cinnamon?" she asks surprised.

"Yeah" May Margaret shrugs "Ruby told me"

This is so simple yet so deep at the same time and Emma feels the ping in her heart, a wave of liquid warmth at the so small gestures, with such a large meaning behind it.

"Thank you" she says, her voice slightly wavering with emotion; a good one, but emotion regardless.

"Sure" the brunette is quick to assure "Me and David are going to this new place, Asian food, supposed to be great. Would you like to join us?"

"Oh, I wouldn't won't to impose..."

"Nonsense" Mary Margaret determines "I insist. Besides, David misses you."

"Well, okay then."

Emma will be the first one to admit that since she started seeing Regina she has abandoned any other responsibly of hers. Yes, she also works at the restaurant but that's about it. She spends all of her spare time with the brunette or thinking about her. She totally neglected Mary Margaret and let's not even mention poor Ruby, who hadn't seen her for their traditional afternoon coffee for days now. She can't have her best friends treating her so kindly when she is ill only to dismiss her the minute she gets better. This needs to change. She'll start with that lunch and she will hang out with Ruby as soon as she can. Might even be today since she and Regina are taking off to Boston the next morning. She makes a mental note to text Ruby later on.

Mary Margaret moves to her seat and Emma glances towards the glass office. She locks eyes with Regina for a quick moment before getting up.

"I forgot Regina called for me." She says as she grabs her cop.

"You should go then," Mary Margaret eats her lie right up, not bothering to avert her glance from the screen "You don't want her to get upset."

She knocks on the door and hears a muffled "Come in"

"Hey" she smiles as she approaches the desk. She takes a seat and waits for Regina to finish whatever it is that she is doing.

"Just a second," Regina mumbles, eyes on the screen "I need to finish this." She types furiously.

"No problem" Emma assures as she sips her coco slowly, enjoying herself. Staring at Regina is better than anything else she could do at the moment. She watches Regina scrunch her face adorably as she tries to read something. Without sparing a glance at Emma she reaches for a drawer and retrieves her reading glasses and places them.

Emma bites her lip at the sight but says nothing.

"Stop staring" Regina commands halfheartedly but a smirk is gracing her face.

"I can't" Emma responds "You're just too pretty." She compliments and Regina finally looks at her and chuckles.

"Be careful Miss Swan, all that sweet talk and I would think you are coming on to me." She winks and Emma bites her lower lip.
