"I could see that"

"Yeah that's why I love so much being with you three. You couldn't care less, you smile and laugh and are amazing friends and you also let each other do what ever freely" Emma said. "I suck at friendships"

"No you don't"
...
They ate happily and talked about many random things: School, food, movie and music tastes and things of that kind. When they were done Regina suggested to go to a small park she knew near the area, they went back to the school to get out everything they would need for the day as they intended to go home directly after being at the park. They then got to the park and sat on the soft green grass.

"Emma, who are the Swans?" Regina asked. "I had never heard of anyone in Storybrooke with that last name until I met you, and that's much to say because well, my mother is the mayor"

Emma sighed. "I have no idea"

"What?"

"I'm an orphan, foster child... what ever you want to call it" Emma said.

"Oh... Emma I'm so sorry, I had no idea" Regina said in what was almost a whisper.

"It's ok. I'm ok with it. Here's what I think: If someone didn't want me as their child it was not me who caused it, it was that maybe my mother was alone and too young, or she didn't want any children at all. I don't know for sure. I know I was found on the side of a road covered in a white blanket that had Emma written on it and with a note that begged for my good care, signed by a Miss. Swan" Emma smiled sadly. "I was years and years inside the foster care system until I ran away from my temporary family about 3 years ago. I lived on the streets some days, walking to get out of Boston until I found myself in this town and was picked up by the Blanchards who decided to sort of adopt me, more like home me and stuff. They're not my parents but they're the closest thing I can have from a family and now I live in a place I can call home. Your mom did a lot of paperwork with Maine's government and foster system and she helped me and made me legal and stuff letting me keep my last name that is the only thing that still defines me as myself. MM is sort of my older sister but she's more my best friend whom I have the luck to live with. I had never been better in my life, really"

"So you knew my mother?"

"No, the Blanchards did everything. She probably doesn't even remember but i'l quite grateful. Tell me about yourself" Emma said.

"I was born the mayor's daughter, my mother has been head of this town for twenty years now, before she was no one but my father's wife, and before she was just the miller's daughter, there used to be a miller in Storybrooke. My father didn't work a full time job, he was a business man that had some companies in Boston. He died of a poorly treated pneumonia when I was 5, I loved him more than anything and so I still grieve his death. His death is one of the two worst events of my life, the other one I'd rather not talk about but probably you already know" Regina rubbed her eyes and continued. "My mother has always pretended to be someone much more important than she really is, Cora Mills should have been born a queen in the middle ages. She thinks the world works like that and she's really hard. She wants me to become mayor after her, she thinks it's like the throne of a kingdom, something that has to pass on generation by generation in a same family. It doesn't work like that and I have no intention of becoming mayor of this town or of any place at all"

"What is it you want to do?" Emma asked.

"I don't know. Something that has to do with arts of literature maybe. I love anything that makes you feel something, I think feelings are very important in life" she replied.

They talked more things about life, but much lighter topics, eventually Regina asked Emma if she could rest her head on her lap. She did and soon fell asleep. There, peacefully breathing she looked even more beautiful than when she was awake, it seemed as if all the worries in life disappeared immediately from her fare face, Emma was completely hypnotized scanning every single millimetre of her love's face. She looked at the brunette's lips and saw the small scar on the upper right side, she wondered what had happened to her. Regina's chest rose and fell rythmically while Emma kept staring at the full pink lips.

Soon she couldn't hold her desire anymore and placing her long blonde hair behind her ears she bent her back to the front until she was only a few centimeters away from Regina's face, she closed her eyes, contained her breath and shyly closed the small distance, pressing their lips together in a soft kiss. When she pulled back she remained with her eyes closed some seconds feeling her heart thump so hard it could come out of her chest, she also felt the quick movement of Regina's head sliding off her legs.

Regina gasped and sat up. "Emma"

And then it hit her, she opened her eyes widely realising her enormous mistake and stood up grabbing her back pack with her right hand.

"Emma, what was that?" she heard Regina ask in astonishment, but her head was spinning.

Emma didn't turn back, she started walking away as quickly as she could, feeling her face red and hot.

"Emma, please, don't you dare walk away from me!" Regina shouted, standing up and trying to follow the blonde, but without ever reaching her as she was already too far.

There was left Regina Mills, standing alone in the middle of the park, with her heart completely tight and her lips full with the taste of her very first kiss.

Her first kiss with Emma.

Her first kiss with a woman.

Her first kiss ever since Daniel's death.

Her first kiss with someone that wasn't him.
