Emma's POV
~~~~~
I Finnish my morning run by stopping at Granny's. I open the door and the bell rings when I walk in. "Morning Em!" Ruby greets me with a smile. "Hey rubes." I reply. I sit down at the counter and order my usual, hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon. I'm staring down at the counter, when the bell rings. I look towards the door. "Shit! Why does she have to be here?" I say to myself. "I'll be okay as long as she doesn't... Fuck she's walking over to me, hide!!!" My mind said. My heart pounded and I thought it would pop out of my chest at any moment. "She's so fucking hot!!!" I thought. She was wearing a black pencil skirt with black heels and a purple silk top with her top few buttons undone which exposed some cleavage. I couldn't help but stare, I mean she's too beautiful not to! Anyone who dented that was clearly a fool and I would gladly high five them in the face, with a chair.

She sat down next to me and I looked over at her and forced a smile. "Good morning Madame mayor." I said quietly trying hard to hide my nervousness, trying hard to hide my burning cheeks. I swear she heard my heart pounding because of the strange look she had on her face. "Emma, you know my name, use it." She huffed . I looked away for a moment feeling my cheeks burn with even more embarrassment but out of the corner of my eye I saw her scanning my body. "Wtf? Is she looking at me? No she can't be. She's with Robin and 100% straight, I'm 100% straight... I think..." My mind said and I sighed. "What's wrong Emma?" She asked, and that question made my mind blow up. "What the hell? Did she just ask me what was wrong? Did she just have a concern for someone other than herself? She sounded kind of concerned. What's going on? Does she feel the same way about me that I do about her? No, that's impossible." I screamed in my mind. All the while, I was staring at her, surprised and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. "Ms. Swan? Ms. Swan!" She yelled snapping me out of my trance. "Oh yeah, great, thanks." I said and looked at the mug of hot cocoa that Ruby had just put down on the counter. Again, out of the corner of my eye, I could see her staring at me. It felt like her eyes were piercing my soul. I took a sip of my cocoa while Ruby got Regina's order.

Yea sure Regina and I had become friends... Well kinda, we still didn't tell each other much, but it's not like we tried to kill each other either.

Flashback
~~~~~~
I ran to Regina's in a white low cut tank top, jeans and my brown boots with a chainsaw in my hand. I was so pissed at her, for what I can't remember, but I was full of rage. I ran to her front yard and walked up next to her apple tree. I started the chainsaw, and held it up to one of the branches. I was almost done cutting the branch, when I heard her angry voice. "What the hell are you doing?!" She yelled. I jumped back and the branch crashed to the ground. I couldn't help but smirk. The tone of her voice totally turned me on. "Picking apples. And sister, you have no idea what I am capable of, your move." I said with a smirk and walked away. I could feel her eyes burn a hole through the back of my head, but I refused to turn around. "Emma, you have to stay strong!" My mind said. But my heart broke knowing that Regina was probably crying over the broken branch.

"Emma, I know there's something wrong. You don't have to tell me now, but if you need someone to talk to..." Regina said. I looked up at her and smiled. "Thanks Regina same goes for you." I replied. I got up, put a few dollars on the counter and walked out, I knew she was staring at me. I could feel her eyes still burning a hole in my head. I wanted to turn around and lock eyes for a second, I wanted to see her blush with embarrassment. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I walked off looking at the sidewalk as I made my way to the station. I unlocked the door, threw my keys on the desk and plopped down in the chair and let out a heavy sigh.

Being sheriff of a small town sounds great, but unfortunately nothing exciting ever happens in Storybrooke. Except for the occasional giant or some other kind of magical creature that threatens to kill every living being in town. Every day was always the same and although it was nice to follow a routine everyday, it also got extremely boring, not to mention lonely. Occasionally I had paperwork that needed to be done for the mayor, but 75% of the time, I just sat in the chair listening to my thoughts, listening to my heart and mind battle against each other on what I should do about Regina. I wanted to tell her how I felt, but I was too scared. We were only just now becoming friends, and I didn't want to ruin it, even though I desperately wanted, no scratch that, I DESPERATELY NEEDED REGINA MILLS!!
