Ok, so I had this idea when I read Even if you knew by Arosein1992, I really love that story, I probably wouldn't have had this idea if I hadn't read it. It gave me this idea to write a story where Regina is a teacher looking for a roommate because her house is so big and she's lonely, and Emma is kicked out of the system since she is eighteen and she's looking for a place to stay but she still has to do her senior year. Regina doesn't know Emma is a senior and Emma doesn't know Regina is a teacher. This is set a month before school starts. No curse and no Henry. This originally was going to be a one-shot but I'm making it longer. And to my fans that are reading Once upon a hospital I'm still working on the chapter this just wouldn't get out of my head.

Emma walked up the steps at exactly seven o'clock and knocked on the door of a white mansion on 108 Mifflin Street, hoping she had the right address that the flier she held said. Emma smiled as the door opened then gapped at the woman in front of her, her eyes raked down the womans beautiful body.

Regina chuckled at the young womans obvious attraction to her. "Can I help you dear?" Regina purred. Emma shivered.

"Oh uhmm… yeah sorry," Emma said shaking her head. "Are you Regina Mills?" Emma asked holding up the flyer.

"Yes I am, and you are?" Regina asked leaning against the door.

"Emma Swan," Emma said holding her hand out.

"Nice to meet you Miss. Swan," Regina said and shook her hand, her eyes raking down Emmas body. "You're not a minor are you?" Regina asked taking in how young she looked. Emma shook her head.

"No Mrs. Mills, I'm an adult and just looking for a place to live," Emma said not wanting to tell the women she was an eighteen year old out of foster system and still had to go to her senior year of high school.

"It's Miss. Mills, I've never been married, but please call me Regina," Regina said not wanting her to call her Miss. Mills because it reminded her of her students. "Would you like to come in and have a drink?" Regina asked. Emma nodded and came in, looking around and admiring the house.

"Oh wow, you have a very nice home," Emma said.

"Thank you," Regina said leading Emma to her study. Emmas eyes traveled down Reginas body. Regina looked back at Emma and smiled.

"Is there anything else you like, dear?" Regina asked. Emma blushed and looked away. Regina chuckled and entered her study, removing some paper work the school had given her and put them away for later.

"How would you like some apple cider?" Regina asked, going over to the small bar she had.

"Sounds great," Emma said as she sat down. Regina poured herself and Emma a glass and handed it to her.

"If you don't mind, why are you looking for a roommate?" Emma asked nervously. Regina smiled at Emmas nervousness, thinking it was cute.

"Well, to be honest it gets quite boring and lonely when you are in this big of a house," Regina said.

"Why not move?" Emma asked getting more comfortable, taking a sip and moaning "this is really good." Regina licked her lips as the moan shot a heat to her core.

"Thank you dear," Regina purred. Emma gulped at Reginas voice, a shot of heat going to her own core. "To answer your question there are just too many memories, I grew up here and it would be a shame to give this house away," Regina said. "Do you have any family?" Regina asked.

"No, I uhmm… I'm a foster kid. I was thankful enough for the last foster parents I stayed at to give me their old car." Emma said rubbing the back of her neck and taking another drink.

"Oh I… I didn't mean to intrude," Regina said placing her hand on Emmas thigh. Emma placed her hand on Reginas. Neither of them could explain how or why they felt so comfortable around one another but they did.

"Its fine, you have every right to make sure I'm suitable to live in your home," Emma said. Regina smiled.

"Well, I can tell you now that you can move in," Regina said, it was a small town and she didn't even think anyone would answer the flyer. Both of them hadn't realized that their hands were still on top of each other on Emmas thighs.

"Really? So what exactly would I have to do around the house?" Emma asked.

"There will be chores to be done," Regina said, Emma nodded.

"Of course," Emma said, she wouldn't expect less.

"Can you cook?" Regina asked.

"I can make a mean bowl of cereal," Emma said with a smile. Regina laughed, actually laughed and Emma smiled wider, making a mental note to always hear that laugh.

"Well I'll cook and you can set the table and wash the dishes afterwards. And if you want, I can teach you how to cook," Regina said. Emma smiled and nodded.

"But only if you wear a chefs hat," Emma said.

"I don't have one," Regina said with a laugh.

"What?! How can you not have one? Please tell me you at least have a sexy cooking apron," Emma said.

"I do have one of those," Regina said not being able to wipe the smile off her face, this was the most anyone had made her smile. Emma sighed in relief.

"Thank God. It's too bad you don't have a chefs hat to match, you'd look really hot." Emma said. Regina smirked.

"And here I thought I already was," Regina teased.

"Oh you definitely are," Emma winked. Regina blushed lightly and continued with the requirements to move in and how much it would be, then started moving around topics about TV shows, sharing stories, flirting heavily between them. Hours went by as they drank some more and talked. Eventually the conversation came to a comfortable silence. Then Emma broke that silence.

"I do need to know if it is actually ok to flirt with you. I know we've been doing it all night I just... I don't want to over step my boundaries," Emma said.

"If anything Miss. Swan I'm the one stepping over boundaries," Regina said finally letting go of Emmas hand realizing how inappropriate it was to be holding someones hand she had just met. "But I don't mind at all," Regina said. Emma smiled and nodded.

"Good, because I love seeing you blush," Emma said, making Regina blush again. Regina coughed to get the weird feeling she was having for the blonde away.

"I forgot to ask, but, how old are you exactly Miss. Swan?" Regina asked not even considering how old the girl was.

"Don't you know not to ask a woman that," Emma said.

"And you're dodging the question." Regina stated.

"No, I just don't want you to take my drink away." Regina gave her a look saying she needed to answer.

"Eighteen," Emma answered.

"Well, definitely no more drinking for you." Regina said taking away the now empty glass. "Had I known that before I wouldn't have given you any." Emma chuckled knowing that was going to happen sooner or later.

"What about wine?" Emma asked.

"Wine, I will allow, but only at dinner, and only on occasions. When do you think you can move in?" Regina asked. Emma smiled widely.

"You're going to let me move in?" Emma asked this would be the first home she ever actually lived in. Regina nodded.

"Of course," Regina said.

"Even though you know I'm actually eighteen?" Emma asked.

"Well you are of legal age so I see no problem with it. You're not a runaway are you?" Regina asked just to be sure.

"No, when a foster kid reaches eighteen they are let go," Emma explained.

"Then it's perfectly fine with me," Regina said.

"When do you want me to?" Emma asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon will work for me," Regina said.

"Sounds like a plan, I better start heading back," Emma said standing up. Regina looked over at the clock noticing it was almost midnight.

"Oh no, I can't let you drive at night this late, plus you drank you can sleep in the room I plan to give you," Regina said standing up and taking Emmas hand, already walking up the stairs.

"Are you sure I don't want to intrude," Emma said following and enjoying Regina holding her hand.

"It's about to be you're home to miss. Swan," Regina said coming to a stop at a door that was next to her own both of them only a foot apart from each other as they looked into each others eyes. "If you need anything just knock on my door, it's that one right there," Regina said pointing to her door.

"And if I want you to tuck me in?" Emma asked with a smirk as she stepped closer to her, their lips only a few centimeters away. Regina licked her lips, her tongue almost brushing against Emmas lips.

"Good night Miss. Swan," Regina said her voice husky with arousal and went to her own bedroom closing the door with a smile and a small blush.
