When It Comes To You (I Have A Weak Heart) | MayorSwanQueen

Chapter Three

Emma silently stared at the ceiling as she let the sound of tick-tocking from the clock consume her senses. She's once again on the guestroom bed at the mayoral mansion when the Queen took her back from her own house. Dinner with the queens and the kid were tense and none of them spoke even after finishing dinner and taking away all the leftovers and washing the dishes. She understood why the mayor didn't want to talk to her, let alone notice her presence, so she kept quiet and did what she usually does from the first time she stayed there. She's really tired after all that moving of Killian’s possessions out of her house but her mind keeps running a mile a minute, making sleep an impossible task to achieve.

With a sigh, she turned to her side, her back facing the door. She wanted to apologize to Regina for making her worry and for not telling her about her plan of not going back to the mansion. But the way the brunette avoids her makes it an impossible task to make. So she's giving the woman her space. She learned early on that it aggravates Regina more if she's being pushed into something she clearly doesn't want to acknowledge as of yet.

The twinkling lights filtering from the glass window caught Emma's attention. Slowly standing up from the warm bed she made her way towards the window to see it. Right across the street were houses that's already decorated with Christmas decorations, a sign that the holidays are fast approaching. There are still some houses that's not decorated as of yet, including the mansion since all of them are still busy with work but planned on doing it the following week, but it’s a beautiful sight with thin sheets of white snow covering the streets. It looks like they are having a white Christmas this year.

She was so busy watching those twinkling lights from the houses across the street that she hadn't noticed the door of the guestroom opening and a figure slowly entered. She was startled when slender arms circled her waist from behind and a warm body was gently pressed against her back. When she found out that it was only Regina she immediately relaxed and let her body melted against the woman’s front. Reaching up she ran her hand through short brunette locks and immediately confirmed that it was the mayor who was holding her. Letting go of that short silky locks Emma held the woman’s arm and pulled her firmly until the brunette rested her chin against Emma's shoulder. They just stood there watching the dancing lights in companionable silence.

Fortunately for Emma, Regina was the one who broke the silence first, because she really doesn't know where to start.

“I'm sorry if I overreacted earlier,” the brunette whispered as she nuzzled her nose against the woman’s neck.

“It’s okay,” Emma breathed out with a soft gasp as she tilted her head to the side to give the woman further access on her neck. “You were entitled to get upset with me since I didn't let you know what my plans were.”

“No, it’s not,” Regina sighed as she held the blonde tighter against her front. “It was out of line. You're a grown woman and you decide what you wanted to do without asking for permission.”

Emma gently shook her head and let herself turn around to face the other woman without breaking their embrace. “I still made you worry because I left without any explanation why or where I was going. And that's not alright. I'm happy and grateful you let me stay here even though I'm already healed and ready for work but it was not okay for me to make that kind of decision out of thin air and without informing you. The last thing I wanted to do was make you upset but I still did and I'm sorry.”

Regina sighed out a small laugh at the woman’s ramble. She then lifted up her hands to gently caress the woman’s cheeks. “Let’s just call this quits and settle down for the night, alright dear?”

Emma bit her lip to stop the wide smile from forming then nodded her head in agreement. Her eyes fluttered closed when the woman delivered a soft chaste kiss on her cheek before pulling away from her then guided them towards the bed. When she saw Regina situated herself comfortably on the bed after removing her silk robe. Emma couldn't stop the rapid beating of her heart after seeing the woman's sleepwear. It was a white lace negligee that barely reached her thighs and it made Emma's mouth water. She was so used to seeing Regina wearing silk pajamas when she visits at the mansion early in the morning carrying freshly brewed coffee from Granny’s but she never saw the woman wear this kind of sleepwear. She didn't even thought the woman owns that kind of clothing. So it was really a shock and a total turn on.
