The Dancer

Chapter 7

Regina's POV

I hear a car door close and I quickly run outside. I see Emma and I smile and wrap my arms around her neck hugging her tightly.

"God you're too cute. I wasn't even gone that long. We were just together."

"I still missed you." I say pulling away. Emma holds me by my waist and I kiss her cheek. I check her face.

"It looks bad I know."

"You're an idiot for fighting a boy over me but I appreciate it so much. My night in shining red armor."

"More like a red flannel but it works too." I giggle and grab her hand.

"Hi Mr and Mrs Nolan."

"Oh call us by our names sweetie." I blush and nod. I pull Emma inside and she smiles.

"Come sit." I say and the parents start talking. Zelena comes downstairs in a cute black dress.

"This is my older sister Zelena. Zelena this is my friend Emma."

"Nice to meet you."

"You too. Heard you stood up for my sister today. Thank you." Emma nods smiling and we all sit at the table. Mom divides the food out to everyone and we start eating.

"Cora this is lovely."

"Oh thank you but this is Regina's recipe. She is the one who taught me how to make it." I blush.

"You cook?" Emma asks.

"I like to cook."

"Cute." I blush looking down and we continue to eat. Emma and I clean the dishes after and I drag her upstairs. She laughs and I close my door.

"What you wanna do?" Emma asks.

"Watch a movie?" I ask and she shrugs.

"Get comfy." She laughs and slips off her shoes. I take off my shoes as well and get onto the bed. She slides onto the bed and I set my head on her chest.

"You smell nice." I say.

"You do too."

"I do?"

"Yeah you always smell like apples."

"You smell like vanilla and sometimes cinnamon." Emma laughs and wraps her arm around me. I snuggle into her chest and she finds a movie on netflix.

"So Killian likes you?" I ask.

"He's a piece of shit."

"He's kind of cute."

"He is?"

"Yes but he is a player and uses girls. Which makes his ugly."

"You're so cute."

"You're cuter." I say shaking my head and she squeezes me. We watch the movie and I sit up.

"You okay?" Emma asks. She is sitting up. I pull her close to me and she laughs wrapping her around around my waist and her hand on my leg. I play with her fingers. Intertwining our hands and messing with them as we watch the movie.

"What do you want to do after high school? I know you're a senior."

"Oh I don't know. Probably do my training to become a cop. Do some college and work at the station still."

"You want to live here?" I ask.

"Well my family is here. My adoptive parents and Ruby and Granny. I've never had a family before, why would I want to leave them?" I nod understanding.
