Secrets our hearts hide

35

Today is Valentine's Day. A few weeks passed since Emma was stabbed. The cut had heeled up now but still caused some discomfort. Today was Tuesday and Regina was teaching a class.

"Does anyone know when Shakespeare published midsummer nights dreams" Regina asked looking around her class. She saw them all thinking and struggling to know. She chuckled slightly knowing it's a hard question. "It was 1600. I'm sure one of you can tell me what's it's about"

"Two people in love that can't be" a girl suggests the answer as she raised her hand up.

"Correct. Don't get it confused with Romeo and Juliet. Where was it set? John do you know" Regina asked looking at a boy with ginger hair.

"Athens right" he replied not to sure.

"Yeah it's right. So have you guys all read it before" she asked looking around the class. They all nod knowing that's what they did in the school. "Good. So we can refresh our memory of it and then get started"

Regina taught the rest her lecture before leaving the room. She went to her office and unlocked it. She closed the door before going to her desk. Regina then saw a note on her desk. Look in your draw. She recognised the hand writing. It was Emma's. Regina pulled the draw open and saw everything in there gone. Replaced by a heart box of chocolates and a bottle of champagne. Rose petals were sprinkled all over in the draw. Regina chuckled as she took them out. Emma then walked into her room and saw Regina looking at them.

"Happy Valentine's Day" the blonde said with a smile as she closed the door.

"Thank you. Happy Valentine's Day" Regina replied with a chuckle as she held her arms out. Emma walked around and hugged her brunette girlfriend. She kissed her softly on the lips before pulling away. "I thought we weren't doing presents since this day is pointless" Regina laughed as she sat down at her desk.

"I know but your too adorable not too" Emma replied walking to the door. She locked it before walking back to Regina. "And too hot" the blonde smirked as she went to Regina's chair and sat in her lap.

The brunette held the blondes hips. She pulled her closer and started kissing her. Emma moved down Regina's neck causing the brunette to lift her head off.

"No. No fucking in my office" Regina said strictly with a stern look.

"Fine. Your still making out with me though" Emma smirked before kissing Regina again. The girls kept each other close as they started making out. There was then a knock in the door. "Fuck sake" Emma sighed rolling her eyes.

"Get up" Regina said slapping the blondes ass.

Emma laughed as she stood up. Regina got up and quickly went to open it. The blonde sat in the seat as if she was there talking to Regina. The brunette opened her door to see one of her students called harry.

"Professor mills. I was wondering if I could talk to you about the assignment you gave us" he asked holding sheets of paper with notes.

"Of course. Miss swan are we done here" Regina asked looking around at Emma with a wink.

"Yeah I got mostly what I needed. Thank you for the help professor" Emma replied as she stood up and walked to the door.

"Your welcome. Come in Harry" Regina replied as she walked towards her desk.

Emma left and went to the music room. She saw it was empty. The blonde walked into the room and over to the large piano in the corner. Emma took out a music sheet and placed it on show. She then started playing to the tune.

"I'd heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah"

"Emma! That was brilliant" the British music teacher said smiling brightly at her.

"Thanks professor rose" Emma shyly replied with an embarrassed smile.

"Just hold the final hallelujah a little longer and your perfect. Carry on" professor rose said so proud of his favourite student.

"Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to the kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah"

She played the rest of her tune before stopping. Professor rose started clapping with pride at how proud he was. The sound of other people clapping came from the door. Anyone who had passed had stopped to listen. Regina was stood there smiling at Emma since she knew this was the place to find her.

"That was incredible. Very well done Emma" professor Mills said smiling at her brightly

"Thank you" the blonde shyly replied.

People started leaving to go back to what they were doing. Regina walked over as the music teacher walked towards his office just outside the room.

"That was really good. Well done" Regina congrats as she looked down at her.

"Thanks" Emma replied standing up. She looked round at the door to check no one was there. She then cupped Regina's cheek still smiling at her. "I love you. This time I know I do"

"I can't say it back. I care about you so much though. You know I really do but I just can't though. Not yet" Regina replied nervously as she knew she was still scared of love.

"I know. It's ok. I just want you to know that I love you" Emma said as she stepped closer.

"Public" Regina quickly warned with a chuckle. Emma laughed and stepped back. Moving her hand from Regina's face. "Thank you. I know you love me" she said smiling softly at the blonde in front.
