“No, no, I’m simply offering an addition to the agreement due to the fact that I actually have to learn to control my magic before we torch anything, on purpose that is.” After Zelena’s plate is filled Emma does the same then causally places a napkin over her lap. “As for my parents, neither of+

“Well then, maybe if this doesn’t scare you away, we can exchange home cooked meals for magic lessons?” A light brow arches as the proposition is made. Pulling the chair out for Zelena before moving to take her own seat, Emma exhales a low sigh, realizing how little the woman has said and how +

impressed might I add.” A soft snicker escapes between sips and she shifts her head from side to side. “I was routing for you, secretly. Regina’s been just as much a pain in my ass as I’ve been in hers. Someone had to take her ego down a notch.” Hearing the timer, Emma excuses herself and +

Emma’s fingers clinched firmly around her glass slowly bringing it to meet parted lips and she swallows a decent helping, the slight burn bringing her back to reality. This woman was here to teach her, nothing more. “Oh, I would bet on that. I’ve seen you and Regina battle it out. I was quite +

“Damn it… I should have said; Here’s to magic lessons, where the only thing more powerful than the spells is the chemistry between us.” Mentally kicks self in the ass for the missed opportunity.

“Just calling it like I see it and thank you. Thought maybe I should step it up bit rather than the usual jeans and what not.” A gentle laugh leaves pink lips at Zelena’s added words of praise, all of which Emma thought were more than adequate. Green eyes wide with a hint of sparkle at the next +

A knock at the door, slicing through her thoughts. Emma froze for a moment, the spoon still in her hand. She quickly wiped her palms on her jeans before walking to the door, taking a deep breath. When she opened it, Zelena stood there, looking effortlessly beautiful in a sleek black dress, +

She had chosen pasta—something elegant, but simple—and paired it with a salad and a bottle of red wine. But it wasn’t just the meal that had her on edge; it was the fact that Zelena would soon be in her apartment, eating and possibly judging a meal she prepared and above all was about to attempt +

Now, as she stood in front of the stove, the weight of what she was doing hit her. Zelena was coming over. Zelena. Who always seemed so poised, so confident. Her hands, despite the soothing scent of basil and roasted tomatoes in the air, still trembled as she stirred the sauce in the pan. +

with every sway of Zelena’s hips the sheriff becomes more entranced. Inhaling a cool crisp breath snaps the blonde back to reality and she instantly turns to make a beeline to the store. There were ingredients to purchase, a meal to prep and an apartment to tidy. Arriving home, Emma takes note +
