Not alone anymore

Chapter 20

I woke up still holding Regina in my arms the next morning. It was the best feeling that I've had in the last few days. I gently squeeze her closer to me and I hear her hum then she softly says. "Good morning my love".  I kiss her cheek.  "Morning babe. Did you sleep ok?"   "I slept great dear. How about you?"  "Really good".  She rolls over in my arms and we smile at each other. She runs her thumb across my cheek and runs her fingers through her hair. I love this closeness right now and I hate to ruin it but we need to start this conversation sometime so I asked softly. "Hey Regina could we maybe start talking now?"  She has a strange look on her face. "I know we just woke up but I thought since we are both here and content that hopefully we can keep it that way and have a real civilized conversation".   "Ok Emma I guess we shouldn't put it off any longer. Would you like to start?"   "Ok why not. What I'd really like to ask, without trying to sound like I'm judging, but I was wondering why you were so quick to ask me to leave the night of my party? I know you were upset but everything seemed fine with us and then boom it stopped instantly".   "The only answer I can come up with is that I was thinking of my mother and everything she has done throughout my life and I didn't want to have you go through all that because of me. In my mind I was trying to do the right thing".  "So you were willing to sacrifice our life together just because of your mother. That's not really fair to either of us Regina".   "I know that Emma and I regretted it the moment I saw you walking to that door".   "Thanks for telling me. So what do we do now?"   "Well I think your right. We need to take this slow so we can do all this the correct way".  I nod. "I agree Regina. We need to really take the time to talk. Find out about each other.  Go out on dates. I know we've lived together for 3 more months now but everything between us happened so fast and I don't regret any of it".   "But your not ready to come back to this bedroom yet are you?"   "I think it would be best, at least for now that I don't. I hope you can understand that".  "Of course I do Emma. Your right. There is a lot of things we need to work on before any else happens".  Before we could talk anymore. There was one knock on the door and Zelena came charging in.  "Regina what's taking?  Oh boy. Look what we have here. Have you, you know, made up?"   She asks while wiggling her eyebrows.  "Zelena relax. Emma and I just slept in the same bed that's all. Now what do you want?"   "I was wondering what was taking you so long to get out of bed and now I know why".  I just have to laugh about what's happening right now. "Emma she's not funny and Zelena just go downstairs we will join you in a few minutes".  Zelena smiles and walks out out of the room and closes the door. "God I swear that woman is insufferable".  I chuckle and say.  "She is something else Regina I'll give you that. Some day you'll have to tell me what it was like growing up with her".  Regina laughs and says. "I can definitely tell you some stories my love".  I put my head back on my pillow and smile.  "Why are you smiling my dear?"   "It was just the way you were just talking about your sister. It's really nice to hear. It almost makes me wish I had someone when I was growing up".  "I'm sorry you didn't have a close sibling while you were growing up my love but trust me when I tell you some of things I had to go through with Zelena you may want change that wish".  She both laugh a little and share a kiss. It was just a kiss but we both seemed to want more from it. So we deepen the kiss. Hands and tongues are involved. Regina rolls on her back and pulls me on top of her. We passionately kiss again.  "Regina what's going on here?"   "Oh my love. We've been together long enough that you should know".  She puts on hand under the sheet and begins to massage my cock through my boxers. "Shit Regina. Should we really do this now, are we ready for this?"   "Emma my love I just want you so much. Tell me you still feel the same".  "I definitely feel the same but is this right for us right now?"   She grips my cock a little harder and speeds up her movements.  "It's right when it feels right Emma. Tell me, does it feel good right now?"   I nod with my eyes closed and say. "Ah Huh. I mean yeah babe. Feels so good".  "Then let's just go with it my love. We can still take things slow later".  "Ok".  That's all I can say for now. She pushes my boxers down as I lift her nightgown. "Babe are you sure?"   "Yes Emma. Please. I need to know that we are still ok".   I nod and she puts me in position and I slowly enter her. Her head tilts back and her eyes are closed. "Shit Emma. Thank you".  I nod and start my movements in and out of her. Everything feels wonderful just like it always does.  I move faster and faster and she doesn't complain. We are kissing and feeling each other's bodies. It's like a whole new experience for us. I don't know how long we made love but we definitely took out time. When we were done, we laid there and smiled at each other. "That was wonderful my love. I'm glad we could reconnect together in that way".  "Yeah I'm glad to babe". We kiss and snuggle together for a bit. "Emma dear can we talk about something?"  "Of course. What's up?"   "Well last night I was thinking, it was before you came in. I was thinking that I should go see someone, like a therapist. I have Dr Hoppers number so I could call him and maybe he can recommend someone. What do you think?"   "I think that's great babe".   I smile big and give her a kiss.  "Perhaps we should get out of bed and start the day now. I'm sure Zelena is sick of waiting for us".  "I could pretend like I feel bad for her but after what we just just did I really kinda don't".  Regina and I both laugh. We kiss and get out of bed. We take a shower together, get dressed and head downstairs. We check the living room first. There's no lights or tv on. We then checked the kitchen and still no sign of Zelena. We did find a note on the refrigerator from her. Of course she was a smart ass like always. She wrote. "Well dears thank you both for making me wait so long. After an hour I went to check on you but all I could hear was huffing and puffing from your room. So I got dressed and went to Granny's to eat. If you two decide to eventually stop for air and food that's where I'll be.  Love Z.  ".   We both had to laugh at the note. "Gina want to call her? Maybe she's still there. I could definitely eat something right about now".   "Ok dear I'll give her a call".   Luckily she just got there. We told her we were on our way so we could have lunch together. Regina and I left quickly and got there just in time to order. Regina and I both got a bacon cheeseburger with bbq sauce on it.  Mine was absolutely delicious. Regina seemed to also enjoy hers. She ate every bit of the burger and onion rings she ordered. She even got a side order of onion rings to go so she could eat them on the way home. Zelena and I looked at each other as we were leaving the diner. We just shrugged and let it go. Zelena got in Regina's car while Regina and I got on mine. We all drove home and we spent the day together. First we watched a movie to chill out then Zelena said she wanted to go to the mall to do a little shopping before she leaves tomorrow. We were cool with that. The sisters of course wanted some clothes while I was more interested in music and games. So they went off in one direction and I went off in the other. On the way to one of the entertainment stores I passed by a jewelry store. I still only have a few thousand in my savings but I'd really like to get Regina something and I think I just found it. I walk into the store and a few of the sales people seem like snobs. Luckily I was able to find an employee that was easy going and helped me out with everything. I told him what I wanted and he seemed happy with my decision. He showed me what I wanted and I loved it even more. I said I'd take it. I give him my debit card. He runs it and it's approved. I sign the slip, he hands me a copy, he puts everything in a bag and I left the store. I went over to the Best Buy store and bought myself and new phone case and then met Regina and Zelena in the parking lot.  I got a text saying they where all set so we all just went home. We had dinner, watched another movie then went to bed. The next morning we had breakfast together then Zelena got all her stuff together to fly back to London. We drove her to the airport and I carried most of her luggage. She checked her bags and then we walked to her gate.  We all said our goodbyes and hugged and Zelena walked down the terminal to board her plane. Regina and I smiled and waved to her, then we held hands as we walked out to our car.
