Innocent

Four

I laid in Regina's bed and tried to catch my breath. She's laying on top of me and she's leaning her forehead on mine. She has my left hand in her right and we're both breathing heavy. "Okay?" Regina asked and I smiled before closing my eyes.

"More than okay. I.. I've never imagined it to feel so right.. You know?" I said, almost whispering. She smiled and pressed a soft kiss to my lips. "I've only ever done it once before. My best friend knew and we both wanted to lose our virginities and well... It was nothing like this." She said softly. I smiled and we laid there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes and then i bit my lip before asking the question bouncing around in my mind.

"Regina?" I asked softly and she hummed in acknowledgement. "Can i ask how you have boobs and a fully working penis?" I asked softly and she hummed again, twirling a strand of my hair around one of her fingers.

"Well, I was born a boy. Or so they thought. I never really liked sports and stuff like that. Well when i got a little bit older... They realized that i looked and sounded like a girl. But with a penis. So then my parents went to my doctor and found out that i was born intersexual. Which means i was born with a male reproductive system in a female body. No one knows except my parents, doctors, you and Kathryn my best, well now ex-best, friend." She said softly and i smiled.

"Well you're a beautiful female." i said, chuckling and she laughed softly. "Thank you. So are you." She said and kissed me softly. When we pulled away, i yawned a little. "Do you have classes today?" She asked, sitting up a little so she could look in my eyes. "No. I don't have classes on Tuesdays." I said and she smiled. "Me neither. How would you like to stay here for a little while?" She asked and bit her lip.

I nodded and she smiled again before kissing me. "Mm good. I wanted to hold you longer." She said and i chuckled. "Can we cuddle? and maybe take a nap?" I asked, biting my lip. She smiled and rolled off of me. She turned so we were facing each other and we cuddled close together, becoming a tangled mess of limbs under the blankets and sheets.

I woke up, my whole body feeling deliciously sore, and a large smile spread on my lips. My face is buried in Regina's neck and she smells... So good. Like cinnamon and apples. I can't believe we did this. She chose me. She trusted me enough to do this with me with no hesitations. She's so.. so amazing.

I felt Regina start to wake up and i smiled a little before pulling back to look at her. She smiled at me and we both leaned in, kissing softly. "I like waking up with you." I mumbled and she smiled again. "me too." She said and i smiled.

"I don't want this to be a one time thing..." I whispered and held her closer. "I don't either." She said softly and traced invisible patterns on my bare back. I nuzzled my nose against her neck and she hummed. This is what i've always wanted.

You know just what to say
Shit that scares me
I should just walk away
But I can't move my feet

The more that I know you, the more I want to
Something inside me's changed
I was so much younger yesterday, oh

I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you
Don't need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo
By the way, right away you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you

I didn't know that I... I didn't know that I... 'til I tasted you
I didn't know that I... I didn't know that I... 'til I tasted you

By the way, right away you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you

You know just how to make
My heart beat faster
Emotional earthquake,
Bring on disaster

You hit me head on, got me weak in my knees
Yeah, something inside me's changed
I was so much younger yesterday, aye
So much younger yesterday, oh, yeah

I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you
Don't need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo
By the way, right away you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you

I didn't know that I... I didn't know that I... 'til I tasted you
I didn't know that I... I didn't know that I... 'til I tasted you

By the way, right away you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you
You, yeah, 'til I tasted you

I didn't know that I... I didn't know that I... 'til I tasted you

By the way,right away you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you

The more that I know you, the more I want to
Something inside me's changed
I was so much younger yesterday

I walked out of my room in tight jeans, a loose v-neck that shows a lot of cleavage and a pair of heels. My hair's in my natural long waves. Ruby's eyes widened. "Woah. Swan? Is that you?" She asked, shocked.

I smiled and tossed my bag over my shoulder. "Yeah. I'm 23. Time to dress like it." I mumbled. Her eyes widened a little and then she shook her head. "Well damn. Wanna walk to class with us?" She asked and i shook my head.

"I'll see you later." I said and she furrowed her eyebrows. She looked at her watch. "It's only 9 o'clock." She said and i nodded. "Yeah. Early work with Mills." I said and she raised an eyebrow. "Early work? With the hot lesbian professor? Em. Don't get mixed in with her. She's a crazy bitch. Rumor has it she had a student eat her out for a grade." She said and i lost it.

"Fuck you. She's not a bitch. And she didn't have a student eat her out. She's an amazing professor. Maybe if you actually listened in her class instead of thinking about who you're going to fuck next, you'd know that you fucking bitch." I spit and left the apartment, slamming the door behind me.

"Professor Mills?" I called out with a shaky voice after walking in her classroom and closing the door behind me. Regina sped out of her office worriedly and rushed to me. "Are you okay?" She asked, caressing my cheeks in her hands. I shook my head, tears falling from my eyes. "Hey, hey. Shh. Come on. Let's go to my office."

"I called her a bitch. I basically called her a whore. Fuck." I cried as Regina held me in her arms. We're sitting in the floor in her office. "What happened, baby?" She asked, running her fingers through my hair. "She called you a crazy bitch and said you had a student eat you out for a grade." I said and she scoffed.

"Well, you know that's not true, obviously." She said, causing me to chuckle. "Yeah i do." I said softly. She kissed my head and i smiled a little. "The crazy bitch part though, well. I can neither confirm nor deny." She said and we both laughed.

"Thank you for sticking up for me." She said softly and i rubbed my nose against her neck. "You're my girlfriend. Of course i'm going to stick up for you." I said and she rubbed my back. "Yeah but.. This was your best friend." She said and i pulled away to look her in the eyes.

"You're my best friend. Ruby will get over it. Or she won't. And that's okay too. I don't need her in my life to be happy." I said and she smiled before kissing me softly. "You know, I like this new look you're sporting today." She mumbled against my lips.

I pulled away, laughing softly and she smiled. "I thought you would." I said and she smiled again. "Can i come over tonight?" I asked and bit my lip. She smiled. "You can come over anytime you want, my love." she said and i smiled before kissing her again.

Today's November 13th. The last day of classes before fall break. We don't come back until December 4th. "Are you going to North Carolina for thanksgiving?" Regina asked softly and i shook my head.

"No. i was just going to get pizza or something." I mumbled. "How about you come to my house? You can meet Henry. But remember. He's a 14 year old boy so he'll make crass remarks." She said and i smiled. When she was 18, Regina adopted Henry. He was 2 years old and in an abusive home.

"You want me to meet your son?" I asked softly and she smiled. "Yes." She said and i nodded. "What would you think about.. spending break with me?" She asked and bit her lip. I smiled and leaned my forehead on hers. "I'd love that." I said and she smiled again, kissing me soundly.

"I love you." oh shit.
