Unexpectedly

A Bad Day at Work

I've had a very busy two weeks since Robin stayed the night. Emma desperately needed me, as she and Killian had yet another fallout. She has been sleeping in my apartment, and drunk off her ass every single night. I really don't know what to do. I cut her off, I try to get her to talk, but she shuts down and just cries. I don't know what to do.

I've really been missing Robin horribly, even though I see him everyday at work. But, I miss us, more than work Robin. Work Robin is annoying and infuriating. So here I am at work, trying to get things done. I can't focus whatsoever. Zelena is up my ass and Emma's. I haven't had sex in two weeks, so I am extremely grumpy.

"Regina, what are you doing?" I here a British voice.

"Working, now leave me alone." I quip.

"Don't You talk to me like that." The redhead deadpans.

"I'm going to talk to you anyway I fucking want, you ginger bitch." I snap.

"Well, maybe if you were actually working..."

"Shut the fuck up, Zelena. I am doing my work and Emma's, as she isn't here. I don't see you picking up any dead weight, because it's so hard for you to mind your business and actually do what you need to get done."

I turn in my seat to focus back on my computer and start typing away. She annoys the hell out of me. I despise her with a burning passion. I hear her stomp away. Finally, some peace.

I don't get why Emma allows Killian to treat her like shit, like she's a tool, a pawn in his little game. I don't get how someone can treat another person like that. It disgusts me! It hurts me to see my best friend hurt, but she needs to learn to stop being so naive and blinded by his charm. Those baby blues aren't as attractive as he thinks, or that dumb smolder.

Over the intercom, I hear Gold call me into his office, I roll my eyes and trudge to his door.

"Ohh, you're in trouble!" Zelena cackles.

"You even sound like the wicked witch of the west. Are you sure there is no relation?" I roll my eyes and walk into Gold's office.

"What can I do for you?" I put on a fake smile.

"Where is Miss. Swan?" He asks.

"She's out for the day." I shrug.

"It's been a week, she better be in here tomorrow morning, if she still wants her job." He warns.

"Gold, do you know what it's like to have your heart ripped out of your chest, then crushed right in front of you?" I inquisite, crossing my arms.

"What does this have to do with Emma? You best be getting back to work, now." He says with a stern tone.

I walk out, messaging Emma that she needs to come in tomorrow. As I walk back to my desk, I see a dirty blonde sitting in my chair.

"Hey there, your majesty." Robin grins cheekily.

"Hi there, Mr. Locksley." I smile, "Can I help you with something?"

"I am rather famished, would you mind accompanying me for lunch?" He invites.

"Yes." I say relieved.

He simply smiles, stands up, and escorts me out to his car. He opens the passenger door for me to get it in. I watch him lightly jog to his side of the car, slide in, start it, and grab my hand to hold.

Holding his hand feels so right, like our hands were meant to be together. Maybe this is it? Maybe I have found the one I am meant to spend the rest of my life- I can't think like this. Jesus, why am I thinking like this?

"I've missed you." Robin glances at me.

"I missed you too, I'm sorry I have been so MIA recently." I frown.

"It's okay, Regina. I expect you to be there for Emma. That's what friends are for. How is she doing?"

"She isn't doing well... I don't know what to do with her. She can't believe this any longer. I don't really know what all happened this time, either." I confess. Being able to get this off my chest is an amazing feeling. I haven't been able to talk to anyone about Emma at all these past 2 weeks.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I could to help you and her?"He asks.

"Awe, Robin, I really don't know, but being with right now is helping me a lot." I smile.

We pull into Granny's diner. He helps me out of the car and escorts me in.

We sit down and order our usual; he orders the macaroni and cheese, and I, the ceasar salad.

"When do you think you, Roland, and I can have a night together?" He asks.

"Maybe this weekend, hun. I'll let you know by Thursday with how Emma is feeling. I miss you guys so much." I pout slightly.

"Sounds good, Regina. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, seriously."

I smile and thank him. Isn't he such a great guy? Why couldn't he come into my life before Daniel did? What did I do to get such an amazing man? He's kind, charming, caring, and listens when needed. I don't know what I would do without him.
