Loving Ms. Mills

Hollow Feelings

The next day···

Regina's p.o.v*.

It's 8:30 and I'm silently waiting for class to start. I realize I have a shit ton of work to do and I pull out my laptop and start to type my class lesson. Sooner or later the bell rings and the first person to show up is Emma. "Hey, Ms. swan." "Morning Regina.." I smile but in me, I know deep down what happened yesterday cannot happen again. "Look Emma you're an amazing person but you know that was a one-time thing." She looks down at her desk and nods. Something in me felt bad and like I was fibbing because I wanted more of her soft lips against me but it just couldn't happen again. At least not while I'm working here. I could lose everything and I don't know if that's something I'm willing to let happen right now. Let's not even mention the fact that even though Emma is 18, I still feel like a complete predator. 

Soon the class came in and I started with my lesson.
"Good morning class we're going to learn about Gandhi and why he was so invested in making a whole lot of changes in the world." I look over to Emma and she has a single tear rolling down her eye. "And i... Uh... class give me a minute." The class turns to each other and starts talking. I walk over to Emma. "Come out to the hall." She gets up and I sit in the chair by the door and so does she. "Look Em, you're sweet, and Henry is adorable but you need to know I'm your teacher I could get fired or arrested. You have an amazing touch but I don't know Em."
She smiles and nods. "I'm just gonna go.." I lean back in my chair and she walks into the class and out again. "I'm gonna have to write you up." "Do it bitch... See Regina, I'm not afraid of you, I never was and I never will be." I take a deep breath in and out and walk to the restroom. I sit in the stall for a good 3 minutes and tears start pouring down my face. I just can't get caught but I care for her so much.  I hear a knock on the stall followed by a male voice "Ms. are you done... The class is waiting and lowkey they drew a dick on your board." I sniff my nose and wipe my tears "yeah... Umm... I'm coming now." I flush the toilet and I come out to see it's Robbin he's gay so I didn't mind him in there. "Ms. Mills why are u crying."
I look at him and smile "the weather is beautiful. Now let's go to class."

Emma's p.o.v*

I get to the house and Henry is sound asleep. I look over to belle who looks at me confused "you're here early."
"Yeah, I got my period." I lied but it's honestly whatever. "Well if you're here then I'm going to head out then. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah see you." I run to my room and close the door. I get in bed and start to cry. Isn't this one FINE ASS day... I start to close my eyes and hear my door open quietly. "Mommy you're home!"
"Hey, baby I thought you were sleeping." He smiles.
"I was but I smelt cinnamon and knew it was you because belle smells like roses." I laugh and smile "aww you're adorable."
"Mommy I'm still tired tho... Can we nap?"
"Of course baby." I hold him on top of my chest and we both fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.  The day goes by and even in my sleep, I can't get Regina out of my head. I mean I never meant to disrespect her or make her upset but something inside me broke. I do understand the idea of this being wrong and damn near illegal but something about her is just drilled into my mind. I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm in love with her but gosh it's damn near close and we've only known each other for such a short period of time. 

I wake up and Henry is still sound asleep. I grab some money and walk out of the house to go on a little walk around town. Henry is sleeping on the bed so I know I have to make it quick because if he wakes up when I'm not there lord knows what he will do. I don't know why I picked today out of all days to leave Henry but I think I just needed to get my body moving so I shake off this icky feeling that is lingering inside my chest. I'm curious about her and hurt all at once and it's leaving me with this void.
