Beautiful drug

Meeting her

Chapter 2

Emma had made her way through the crowded dance floor and had managed to get a seat at the bar on the far right side and sat down with a small sigh. Her green eyes scanned the crowd before landing on the bar tender who was watching her curiously. "What can I get you?" he asked and before she could answer another voice behind her piped up, "Whatever it is, I'm buying." The deeper voice said and Emma groaned, rolling her eyes thankful she hadn't been facing the guy. "A beer please." She said before slowly turning to face whomever was obviously wanting her attention. Upon turning her gaze met a tall, fit man with dark hair, scruff, and pretty yet harsh blue eyes. His body was clad in dark blue jeans, a black button up, and a black leather jacket. He was currently giving her a very pervy smile, a grimace fell on her lips before she forced a smile masking the look of distaste that was naturally coming to her lips.
"Hello beautiful." He smirked stepping closer to her and she automatically shuffled back in her seat until her back was pressed against the bar. "Hi... you are?" she asked even though she knew exactly who he was. He was a lower level part or Regina's smuggling operation, he generally worked on the ship that transported cocaine from New York to Puerto Rico.  "I'm Jones, Killian Jones." He attempted to purr the words at her and she held back a scoff at his shitty attempt at charming at the James Bond level, which he failed at.
"Well, hello Mr. Jones, I do thank you for the offer, but I am very capable of buying my own drink." she told him with the same forced smile. He cocked a brow at her but turned up the charm. "Come on, beautiful girls like you shouldn't be at the bar all alone." He said moving closer to her. Emma sighed straightening her back a bit.
"She's not alone." A firm female voice sounded behind him and his face turned to a comical shocked expression and Emma couldn't help but let out a laugh. "What she said." Emma answered without even seeing who the woman was. Killian shot her a glare before turning to the side to make sure it was who he thought it was and Emma's jaw nearly hit the floor.
There behind him stood Regina Mills in all her regal glory. She wore an all silver outfit, silver heels, silver slacks with a matching silver top that had nothing underneath it other than a black bra. Her hair was completely straight, makeup light but defining and her lips covered in a light layer of gloss. Her tan skin was covered in a barely visible layer of sweat and all in all she was the epitome of perfection.
Emma's mouth hung open in what could only be a horribly unflattering position and based off the look on Regina's face she found it rather amusing. Around the brunette were 4 body guards, 3 large males, and then the girl who had let her in, Ruby, standing on her right. "Sorry I kept you waiting Emma... I didn't know you had arrived until Ruby had come to inform me." She said stepping from within the 'square' and she stepped around Killian, slightly invading Emma's space.
The blonde's breath caught in her throat and she shook her head, "That's alright... I didn't mind waiting, I just ordered a drink... would you like one?" she asked, nervously smoothing out the bottom of her dress. Regina's eyes watched the move and she held her hand out to Emma, "Yes, but not here, I much prefer spending my time in the VIP rooms, specifically the red room, but I'm not picky, come." She said taking Emma's hand with her own and tugging her up.
Emma let the woman pull her and she followed her into the circle of the body guards, only slightly catching the glare that was thrown their way by Killian. As one unit they moved across the dance floor toward the staircase.
Two of the guards stayed behind at the bottom of the stairs, the male guard went before them up the staircase, with Emma and Regina walking hand in hand up the stairs, and Ruby trailing behind. This seemed a bit much but she knew how hard the drug world could be, the leader needed to be protected at all times.
Once they were officially up the stairs the guy turned right to go towards what Emma figured was the red room but Regina gave Emma's hand a small tug to pull her to a stop and she released her a moment later. "What color do you prefer?" she asked studying Emma as if she was trying to read her inside and out. "Red." She said honestly. The brunette cocked her head to the side and continued to watch the pretty blonde for a moment before she conceded and nodded for the guard to continue leading them down the long hall way.
The room itself wasn't exactly what Emma had been expecting, inside, the room was filled with black furniture; couches, tables, bar stools, and so on. The bar had red lights built in beneath the surface, the walls were painted a blood red, and the lights in the room were red as well, but based on the switches on the wall it looked like there may be other lights other than the red ones.
The male guard disappeared after showing them inside and Ruby disappeared behind the mini bar in the room and began making drinks. Emma watched on nervously, not exactly sure what was going on, they couldn't be onto her already, right?
She watched Regina move across the room, with the grace of a panther and she sat on the couch, crossing her legs and looking the blonde over, not caring that she was being watched as she did so, "Have a seat." Regina offered gesturing to the spot next to herself. The blonde's eyes shifted to the couch and she hesitated only momentarily before slinking forward and moving to sit in the spot that had been offered to her.
"I don't mean to sound rude since you did just save me from what was probably going to be a very annoying conversation, but... who are you?" Emma asked after a moment of sitting next to the brunette, she knew she would have to play this part and she would have to play it well.
Regina gave the blonde a curious look, "You don't know already?" She asked holding her hand out to take the drink Ruby had made for her. The blonde gave a simple shrug and turned on her flirty charm, she took the drink Ruby offered her with a thankful smile before turning back to Regina. "I know you're extremely beautiful and have a killer body, but that's about it." She said shooting a wink her way.
The brunette sipped at her drink to hide the small smile that wanted to appear and she studied the blonde. Emma felt the gaze at a soul deep level and she squirmed under the intensity of it. Finally, after what felt like forever Regina spoke. "My name is Regina Mills, and this is my club." She said with a gesture around the room.
Already knowing this information, Emma tried to feign shock as best as possible. Her eyes were wide with mock surprise and she turned to face her more after taking a good look around. "Well... that certainly explains the bodyguards." she said with a small giggle
A smirk graced plump lips and Regina leant forward toward the blonde a bit, "Do you like it?" She asked with a hint of curiosity. "Do I like it?! I love it!" She said honestly. If this situation was different this would definitely be the kind of club Emma would spend her time in.
The answer seemed to please Regina as a brighter smile fell onto her face and she gave a small nod "Good! I'm glad, so... Emma, why don't you tell me a bit about yourself? Like where you're from for instance." She said once again leaning back against the couch, never once removing her intense eyes from Emma. She subconsciously ran her finger around the rim of her glass as she awaited the blonde's response.
Emma cleared her thrust and chose that moment to take a sip of the drink that Ruby had given her, whatever it was. She felt the burn in her heist and thanked the gods that whatever it was, it was strong, and honestly it wasn't horrible. The drink left a cinnamon after taste in her mouth which she found she quite enjoyed. "Well... I honestly think the better question would be... where am I not from." She said with a small smile directed at Regina.
Regina cocked a brow at the blonde clearly interested in the words, Emma couldn't help but find the move slightly cute and she relaxed just a bit. "I was a foster child." Emma explained. "I've lived all over the US... but the place I spent the most time in was a town called Storybrooke, Maine." She said to the brunette before taking another sip of what she was now making out as extremely hard apple cider.
Brown eyes looked down to her glass as she listened to Emma speak and when she looked back up she gave the blonde an understanding yet sad smile "I know how that is. Maybe not the foster family part but I did move a lot growing up, was never in one place too long" she explained finishing off her glass and setting it on the table in front of them.
"I've never heard of Storybrooke, what's it like there?" She asked a moment later and Emma chuckled "That doesn't surprise me, it isn't on most maps, it's a little town near the middle of the state. Kind of one of those towns where everyone knows everyone and everyone's business" she said with a slightly amused smile, "Nothing like New York at all. Storybrooke is a warm friendly place where as I've come to find out New York is rather cold and people keep to themselves."
Regina nodded with a small smile watching the blonde light up a bit at the mention of this place. She wasn't exactly fond of towns like that, especially with the... 'business' she ran but hearing the way Emma talked about the place made it seem like a great place to grow up.
"How long did you live there?" Regina asked as she got up and walked across the room to grab the bottle of her famous cider from behind the counter. "Two years." Emma replied, her gaze following Regina across the room, more specifically she watched her backside as her hips swayed. She would have to be truly blind to not see the appeal of the woman in front of her.
"Why did you move?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at Emma and smirking ever so slightly seeing where the blonde's gaze was directed. "You sure do ask a lot of questions." Emma retorted, looking away, over the balcony and down at the dancing crowd. "Well, I don't meet many new people, but I trust asking questions is a good way to start, am I wrong?" she asked as she walked back over to the couch and she sat down once more, even closer to Emma this time.
Emma looked back feeling their knees touching and she licked her lips. "I moved because I turned 18 and go discharged from the foster system, which also meant that I lost my place to live. The family I was staying with only allowed me to be there because they revived money from the state. Once the money stopped coming I was left with nowhere to go." She explained feeling highly uncomfortable telling her all of this but it was apparently something the woman wanted to know as she wasn't asking any other questions, no ice breakers, just jumping right into the deep stuff.
"And how did you make it here?" she asked as the blonde shifted in her seat. "I think I'm going to need more alcohol if you want to keep this conversation up." She said with a small laugh and Regina nodded her agreement. She poured more of the alcohol into their glasses before setting the decanter back on the table.
They sat in silence for a few moments, Emma studied the brunette from the side and she took a deep breath, "Where are you from?" Emma asked wanting the subject off herself. Regina smiled at her and sipped her drink before setting it down. "My family is originally from Puerto Rico." She said adding a bit of an accent into her voice which was undeniably sexy. "Do you speak Spanish?" Emma asked with a quirked brow. Regina laughed a low deep laugh and she leant into Emma's ear. "Sí hermosa, lo hago."
She whispered into the blonde's ear. Emma shuddered at the breath on her ear and her eyes fluttered. Teeth nipped at a pale earlobe and Emma's breath caught in her throat and a small gasp left her mouth.
Before anything else could happen a knock at the door made Emma jump and Ruby popped her head in. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but, they're here." She told Regina who let out a small groan of annoyance "They really do have the worst timing." She huffed looking back to Ruby and she gave her a short nod, "I'll be there momentarily." She told ruby before looking back to Emma, she looked over her body and licked her lips.
"Unfortunately for me, I have some business to attend to which means I have to bid you farewell for the night Miss Emma... though I do hope I can see you again, I find I am intrigued by you. Which doesn't happen often." She stood and held her hand out to Emma, which the blonde took, standing in front of her.
"I'd like that." Emma said in a soft voice and Regina pulled her close, slightly invading her space. She leant in and placed a lingering kiss to her pale cheek and as she did so she slipped a piece of paper into Emma's hand. "Call me tomorrow." She instructed before pulling back and walking toward the door with a sway to her hips. Emma's cheeks flushed from the kiss and she looked down at the paper in her hand, it was a card with Regina's phone number on it. Outside the door Regina snapped her fingers at a man who scampered over to her.
"Yes Miss Mills?" he asked politely giving her a small head bow of respect. She pointed back in the room toward Emma and the two women exchanged small smiles, "Make sure she gets home safely." She told him and he nodded looking to Emma. "Come along Miss...?" he trailed off not knowing her last name
Emma looked between them surprised at the request but she found herself slowly walked toward them, "Swan... Emma Swan."
