"I don't think I could ever get used to this." Regina said just admiring the plane they were in and the amazing staff that tended to their every need.
"You'd better start getting used to it Gina." Robin spoke, "You deserve so much more." He said seriously
"Gina?" she asked with a smile on her face
"Yes Gina, if Ella can call you a nickname don't, I get to as well? Or would you perhaps enjoy being called something else, like sexy?" he asked leaning in for a kiss, she couldn't help herself she was going to indulge in this man, she ended up giggling after the chef cleared his throat announcing that their meal was near it's end and they'd be landing soon according to the captain.
"Thank you." Robin said excusing the man.
"You're something else Mister Grey." Regina teased
"Ah, I suppose that's my nickname." He said playfully rolling his eyes, she laughed which made Robin smile he liked her laughter.
"I promise it's not, that's Tink's nickname for you."
"Then what do you call me then hmm?" he asked looking into her gorgeous brown eyes, she blushed
"I haven't come up with one yet, but I'm sure it'll come to me." She said leaning over kissing him once more as they captain announced their touchdown in Pennsylvania.
"We're in Pennsylvania?" she asked curiously looking at the blue-eyed god in front of her
"I told you you'd never guess." He said smiling enjoying her surprised reaction her eyes widened a bit, but her gorgeous smile was very much present.
"Now milady let us continue our date." He said leading her off the plane, they thanked the staff for the perfect flight, Regina was a little shocked as usual ever since she's met the Locksley's.
"We're going in a car, where are we off to now?" she asked Robin
"Uh uh, I'm not telling." He said playfully opening the car door for her, she looked back at rolling her eyes playfully then gracefully got into the car with her.
"Can I at least have a hint on where we're going or what we're doing."
"No way." He hummed relaxing in the car
"You're no fun." She pouted, Robin laughed she looked so adorable with her lip out all he wanted to do was bite it he stared at her bottom lip for a while till Regina coughed drawing his eyes and attention back to her she had an arched eyebrow at him, he smiled sheepishly having got caught staring
"Sorry." He murmured she giggled
"It's okay." She glanced out of the car it was obviously night, so they'd be doing night activities, night activities, god she had to stop her mind from going there. She cleared her throat and thought rationally.
"Well, it is night I suppose we're going to watch the stars together? I just don't quite know where I am in Pennsylvania." Regina said snuggling closer to Robin in the car taking them to their destination.
"You are right about the star gazing, you'll just have to wait and see." He spoke kissing the top of her head, he enjoyed her in his arms, it just felt right.
"I see where Ella gets her spontaneous nature from." She hummed
"Oh my god, this is beautiful, Robin!" Regina said looking at the pick-up truck filled blankets and pillows, she spied a wine cooler between some pillows, she was absolutely floored, no one has ever put much thought into dates really, this was something straight out of romance movie.
"Shall we?" he asked taking her hand as they walked towards the truck and settled in for the night.
"I can't believe you went through all this trouble. You really didn't have to, we could have just gotten ice cream and I would have been content." She spoke truthfully
" I know that, but like I said, you deserve so much more." Robin spoke, "I want you to just relax, I know these few weeks have been incredibly different for you."
"You're so sweet." She said truthfully taken aback at how caring he already seemed to be, was this real? Did she really deserve all of this? She knew herself even if she hadn't ridden in a plane to a date location, she still would feel the same. She would never be after his money.
She and robin cuddled up together in the back of the truck just enjoying each other's company, they casually sipped on wine and basked in their alone time.
"Look at that star." Robin said pointing to a star close to the big dipper, "That's my new favorite star." He said with a grin on his face, not like she could see it really it was quite dark, unless she were incredibly close to him which she was on the edge of being.
"Why's that?" she asked curiously looking at the star Robin was trying to show her
"Because it's named Regina after the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, she shines just as bright as that star." Regina instantly blushed and playfully nudged him with her elbow she heard him give her a throaty laugh.
"No, it's not." She snickered
"Oh, how you wound my honor I'd never lie to you." He said kissing the side of her head, he reached somewhere besides him and pulled out the certificate handing it to her.
"You're something else Locksley!" she gasped he was so thoughtful and genuine this had to be a dream if it was, she hoped she would never wake up from it.
"I would give you the world Regina Mills."
"Robin I don't know what to say." she said in complete awe of this man in front of her
"You don't have to say anything Regina I'd do just about anything for you." He answered truthfully
"Really?" she asked, he nodded
"I know it's absolute madness it's been such a short time but you are just this bold, audacious woman and I enjoy the time we've spent together and I'm looking forward to many more of these moments, if you would continue seeing me that is." he said nervously running his finger through his hair, she bit her lip, he needed to stop doing that, he looked positively delicious. She threw caution to the wind and crashed her lips onto his in probably the most romantic, sensual kiss she could possible give, they stayed lip locked for a very long time enjoying the pleasing sounds coming from another till he felt Regina shiver.
"Are you cold?" he asked pulling her even closer to him they were lying down and he held her tightly
"Just a little." she said content being in his arms gaining a little more heat
"Well milady why don't we head back home hmm?" he asked, she frowned she didn't want this date to be over, as if reading her mind he said "Don't worry, we can cuddle in the car, take a nap together on the plane, then I'm afraid we will have to take you home, you and I must be at work no later than noon. She groaned a little.
"If we must." she whispered against his lips before kissing him once more.
Ella finally had a moment to herself truly, she knew her dad had taken Regina somewhere for a date, she smiled at their happiness it was a beautiful thing to witness, their love. Tink and Killian had taken Roland out for the two to bond some more and Kenzi was with Hale at a rehearsal. She decided a nice walk in the park would be a great change from the chaos of her life.
She gathered a few things, she knew she wanted to sketch a bit, listen to some music and just lose herself in what she used to be, throughout high school she would come here and just sit and listen to music it made her feel whole.
She walked along a few paths and enjoyed the cool air it was a truly beautiful day though it was near freezing she was adequately dressed for the spontaneous occasion. She began sketching a few concepts she wanted to eventually paint on a canvas she sketched for about an hour when she looked up from her drawings and noticed a few other groups of people were walking through the park, they looked like college students.
She kind of envied them, she honestly wanted to go to college but with her mother ruining her life every other year she didn't think she'd be able to. She wanted to graduate from an art school and hopefully double major with a business degree, she wanted that for herself, instead she felt like she was following around Jax she shook her head she was so stupid. Stupid because she let boys dictate her life, she didn't want that anymore all it's ever done was leave her feeling empty and alone.
Her family and friends made her feel whole, she had to be honest with herself, she didn't even remember how it felt to be single, she was in an on and off relationship with Jax since high school. She thought about Liam there was no way in hell she wanted to date him, firstly Regina would kill her and secondly, she wasn't ready to be someone's step-mom even if they started dating. She wanted to be single. She wanted to go to college and graduate, she wanted to be successful and able to stand on her own.
She started to laugh and cry at the same time, was she really discovering who she really was, who she really wanted to be? Regina had said she wouldn't leave until she saw her become the best woman she could be. Would this be the women she was talking about? She sighed watching her breath it was getting darker she knew she had to go home soon. She smiled as she slowly made her way out of the park, she had a lot to think about.
