Gamble Until You Can't

Emma was walking up the large set off stairs, heading towards her room. As she turned, she saw a guy press Regina up against a wall, kissing her deeply. The brunette had her hands tightly gripping his hair as she allowed it to happen. Emma wasn't sure what to do. The guy made his way to her neck, allowing Regina to finally notice the blonde. She gave a cheeky wink and smile, making Emma blush.

"One second, Ned. If you go in there, I'll meet you there" Regina quickly said, lifting the guys head off her neck and pointing to her room.

"Sure thing" Ned smirked as she eyed up the brunette while walking away.

Regina fake chuckled before secretly rolling her eyes. She turned to face the blonde looking half confused, half awkward. Regina quickly went over, confusing Emma more.

"Hey, you seen to have had a good night" Emma said with a laugh as she wasn't sure what else to say.

"Him? Not a chance, he's just a tool" Regina laughed as she rolled her eyes and hugged Emma tightly. The brunette leaned close to her ear, letting her breath warm the other woman's ear. "You want to join us? I won't tell anyone"

Emma pulled away, a little taken back, looking shocked and confused. Regina giggled with a smirk to show she wasn't joking. Emma nervously laughed, knowing full well this woman was drunk.

"I'll pass for tonight, he isn't my thing" Emma replied as she chuckled, placing her hands softly onto the brunettes shoulders.

"Am I your thing" Regina asked, biting her lip in the same usual seductive way.

"Very much so" Emma simply replied as she held her smirk securely on her face at all times.

Regina smiled with a giggle, moving back in to hug the blonde. Emma was just chuckling to herself as she knew Regina had a bit too much to drink. As they slowly slipped out, Regina placed a soft kiss against Emma's cheek.

"You're a funny girl, Em. I'll see you tomorrow" Regina softly whispered, moving a few strands of blonde hair behind Emma's ear.

And with that said, Regina disappeared into her bedroom. Emma was taken back by what just happened. She continued her journey towards her bedroom, still thinking about the unusual event. Her thoughts were soon faded away when she got a message.

Christina: Em you gotta get home!!!

Christina: Steve is freaking the fuck out!!!

Christina: he's going to start hurting people soon! You need to talk to him!!!

Christina: NOW!!!

Emma had noticed most of these messages were sent when she was stood with Regina. She knew she couldn't go home, not now and not ever. Steve wasn't a man for talking, he was a man for fighting.

Emma: I can't come home! I'm too scared to. He will beat me until I'm practically dead... AGAIN! I nearly died the last time and I won't have that again

Emma: just tell him I'm dead or something

Christina: are you out of your mind?! Dead?!?!?! Em he will find out and destroy all of us! I know your scared but em you gotta come home.

Emma: NO! I REFUSE TO!

Emma: I'll message him but nothing else

Christina: Em I love you and trust you. We all do! None of us would ever let him hurt you. Please come home

Emma: he did hurt me! Many times! I'm sorry... I can't

Christina: at least message
