SwanQueen Week

Day 2: Coffee Shop

It was a normal day in New York City. The sun stood tall as Regina Mills walked inside Starbucks and got in line.

She looked around for a seat and there were a few seats available. A few minutes later it was her turn and she ordered her usual black coffee. She turned around and of course all available seats were now taken and she looked around, seeing a blonde sitting by a table to herself, a hot cocoa with cream on top and... was that cinnamon? She was sitting alone, an empty chair in front of her and Regina felt herself being forced to sit with her. That was if the blonde allowed her to.

Pulling herself together, she took a deep breath and walked over to the table with her computer bag and coffee. "Excuse me?", she started out and the blonde looked up at her, Regina immediately loosing her breath. Someone could have warned her that the blonde was gorgeous. She was breathtaking. Firm cheekbones, sharp jaw and sea green eyes to drown in.

"Helloooooo?", a voice said, a hand waving in front of her and Regina was brought back seeing a smirk on the blonde's face. It was obvious she had noticed Regina's not so subtle stare.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I uh... I just.. I-I... there's not any other seats available and I thought I cou—"

"It's okay. Please sit", the blonde said and Regina gave her a relieved smile as she sat down. The blonde looked at her, licking her lips and Regina felt her cheeks heat up.

"Emma Swan", the blonde said holding out her hand and Regina cleared her throat and accepted the hand, shaking it with her own.

"Regina Mills"

"Oh. Your majesty", Emma said bowing and Regina laughed as she pulled out her computer.

"Is it okay if I work a little? I have to write a resignation letter", she said and frowned at herself. Why would she tell a stranger that? A gorgeous, hot stranger. The blonde stranger nodded before the words actually sank in, frowning at the woman.

"Wait, resignation? You're quitting your job?"

She knew it wasn't any of her businesses, but she couldn't help herself. The brunette was intoxicating. She interested Emma, making her want to know everything about her. Regina sighed nodding. "Unfortunately yes"

"Why, may I ask?"

"My boss is my ex. That never works out, right?"

"You can always make it work if you want to. But I guess it depends on how the breakup went and why you broke up in the first place"

"Yeah, but she's just a pain in the ass, so...", the brunette trailed off and Emma nodded in understanding. Regina turned to the door, seeing said ex walking inside and mentally flinched. When you talk about the devil.

"Shit", she cursed in a whisper and Emma frowned and looked at the door to see who, Regina was so desperately trying to hide from, seeing a tall blonde standing in line.

"Who's that?"

"My boss"

"Your boss. Wait, that's your ex?"

Regina nodded trying to hide behind her hand and Emma nodded chuckling. Before Regina could register, she felt a hand in her own and Emma laughed hard, making the tall blonde in the line turn.

"Babe you're so funny", Emma said loud enough for everyone to hear. "Laugh and smile", she then whispered and Regina complied, feeling her heart beating faster by the hand in her own. So warm and comforting. And god the thump caressing her. She could take the woman right there and then.

"Regina", a voice said and the brunette composed before turning to the woman who stood beside the table, a coffee in her hand.

"Hello Mal"

"I see you have company", the tall blonde said and Regina fought the urge to roll her eyes, a squeeze in her hand, stopping her from doing so. It was like Emma knew.

"I do actually. This is Emma, my girlfriend", she said and Emma turned to her smiling.

"Pleasure", she said and Mal smiled back, obviously fake.

"Like wise. I have to leave. I'll see you at the meeting tomorrow", she said before leaving and Regina sighed letting out a breath of relief.

"You're a savior", she said and Emma smiled and nodded as she kept caressing Regina's hand with her thump, their hands still molded together. Regina looked at Emma as the blonde looked into her eyes and Regina felt a smile forming on her face.

"You're beautiful", Emma suddenly whispered and Regina blushed looking down at their hands.

"So are you", she said and Emma smiled back at her, knowing it took a little confidence for the brunette to say that. Almost thirty minutes later of hands still holding and a talk about everything, getting to know each other, they both left the Café and out onto the street.

"Well thank you once again. You're my savior", Regina said and Emma smiled and nodded.

"Anything for my queen", she said and Regina laughed and shook her head and before she could stop herself, she brought her hand to Emma's cheek before leaning in kissing her softly.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. We've just met and I just kissed you, what the hell is wro—", she was stopped as she felt lips on her own. She automatically brought her hand to the blonde's neck, kissing her deeper. Needing the air, Emma pulled back, making Regina follow her movement.

"Don't worry about it. I've wanted to do that since you sat down in front of me", she said and Regina smiled leaning back in, only to be stopped.

"How about a date, hmm?"

"That sounds great", Regina and answered before leaning in, only to be stopped once more.

"Wait with that for the date"
