He wakes up in the middle of the night. Regina is curled up by his side, her head is still resting on his chest while her leg is tangled with his own, sleeping peacefully.

He slept about an hour or two, but woke up in an alarmed state, feeling guilty and lost. This shouldn't have happened. He should have been strong enough to stop it but he wasn't. And now he has to find a way to finish this job as smoothly as possible.

He has to leave this case. First of all because he got emotionally attached with the victim, which makes him unable to do what he has to do. It's difficult to take this decision while he has her sleeping on him, but he has no other choice.

He has thought about this before, but he also thought he could handle getting done with could stay away from her in order to achieve what he was paid for. But now, he had sex with her, slept with her, and he cannot bring himself to act like he should, like a kidnapper, because he cares for her, because he feels things for her. She is beautiful and amazing, sexy, audacious and bold,and he likes all of these things in her. Her spark, her sharp mouth. He hasn't felt like this for Marian, he had no desire to have another woman on his side, he was too focused on his job and on his son. But after this, he is fucked up because the sex was amazing, and he felt amazing inside her. He felt like he wanted to do this for days, and in this moment that her warm body presses against him,that this beautiful woman is sleeping peacefully on him, it makes him realize that he cannot do this anymore.

That's why he's going to leave tonight,before she wakes if she wakes up, he won't be able to leave this him leaving is the only way for this to end smoothly. Because he cannot bring himself to take her back to her husband, he can't have her locked up in this can't stand being days and nights with her in the same house, but not in the same room, in the same bed.

As carefully as possible, he gets up from the bed,carefully placing her head on the pillow. He freezes still when she stirs and turns her back on him, but he breathes deeply in relief when he realizes sheisn't awake.

He gathers his clothes as quietly as possible, and then he opens the door. However, before stepping outside, he turnshis face and looks at her while she's asleep. He walks back and kisses her temple, knowing this is the last time that he sees her. He pulls back quietly and leaves the room.

Once he steps outside, he gets dressed and heads to his room, where his phone is.

He doesn't want his bosses to know about him leaving the case. They will ask questions, they will stop trusting him and he doesn't want them to suspect anything.

Plus, they would send someone else in his place, and if this someone is half as terrible as GregMendel was, he won't be able to hold himself back from murder this time. He doesn't trust anyone around Regina, except for his close friend,John.

He can trust John, he knows him for many helped him in his difficult moments and now he realizes he is the only person who can lean on.

So he dials the number and waits. It takes a few seconds for John to pick up the phone. He probably shouldn't call at this hour, but this cannot wait until morning.

He gets into the point immediately and tells John that something came up and they need to meet as soon as possible, giving him the directions for the house.

John arrives almost two hours parks the car as Robin watchesfrom the opens the door for himbefore he managed to knock, placing a finger on his lips, silently telling him that he needs to be quiet. Robin leads him in the kitchen and after pouring two cups of coffee, he starts telling him about Regina.

At first, Robin describes the case in general. He tells him about Leopold, that he is rich and famous and John happened to knowhim, to have heard about him because he used to be friends with Leopold's former driver,Sidney.

"Sidney was always telling me that Leopold is a son of bitch," he comments when Robin takes a sip from his coffee. "He might act polite to people when he's not athome, in order to keep his reputation clean,but behind closed doors, he was a dick to everyone, even with his wife."He mentioned that, one day, they were both at the car while he was driving, Blanchard was yelling, calling her stupid because she didn't want to accompany him in a dinner."The only person he was nice to is his daughter, Mary Margaret if I remember correctly."

At the mention of Regina, Robin tenses and his fingers tighten around the coffee mug. John notices, raising an eyebrow at him. "So, she is your case right?"

"Actually, this is what I wanted you to help me with, but first you have to promise me I can trust you and this will only stay between us."

"Spit it out, Locksley. I know you for ten years, I don't have to promise you anything. You already know you can trust me."

"The thing is," Robin starts telling him "that she and I…" he stammers. "We…"

"You slept with her, didn't you?" John asks naturally, like he doesn't expect an answer, like he isn't even surprised.

Rubbing his hand on his face, Robin nods. "I tried to stay away, John, I swear I tried so hard, but she is beautiful and sexy and has this sharp mouth that was driving me crazy, and she has these eyes that were asking me to come close, even if she is so proud that she couldn't voice it…"

"Dude, you sound over heels for her," he comments while taking a sip from his drink.

"I'm not," Robin defends immediately. He is not in love, he can't be in love. "But I don't understand, you are not even surprised," he turns to look at his old friend.

"Why would I, Robin? You're forgetting that I have seen a lot more things than you in my life. Besides, I have seen the woman, she is a sin," he adds with a smirk,"and you are alone so many years, you two basically live in the same house for more than two weeks, it is not impossible. I doubt that you even had her tied up."

"To defend myself, I had her tied up the first day."

John laughs loudly and Robin hushes him because the last thing he needs right now is Regina waking up.

"If Gold finds out, I'm dead, John. I'm lost, I don't know what to do. I cannot handle this case anymore, that's why I called you tonight. I want you to take over, you are the only one I can trust to be around her."While talking, he locks eyes with this friend, who at this point starts smoking a cigarette.

John puffs out the smoke before taking a sip from his coffee. "Tell me everything about the case and about her."

So Robin tells him everything about Leopold, tells him that he tried to locate them through the e-mail,tells him about the direct trade, about the amount money they asked. He continues telling him everything about Regina, about Greg, what he tried to do and why Robin doesn't want anyone else near her.

"Pathetic son of a bitch," John comments when Robin mentions that Greg tried to rape her.

"I need you to stay with her until the trade is done, take her back to her husband when the time comes, and of course Gold cannot know about this. He will continue to believe that I'm handling this. Can you do that for me?"

"I can," John says sternly, but then adds: "But why do you want to drop this, Robin? You are alone for as long as I can remember, you suffered a lot. This might be your chance for a normal life, why are youwasting it? If she wants you and you are obviously over heels," Robin tries to open his mouth to interrupt but John raises his hand and keeps speaking,"save it Locksley,if you could see your eyes when you talk about her, you would never doubt me."

"Stop it, John, please," he whispers while running a hand through his hair. "It is dangerous for all of us, I won't risk Roland's life for this. If they find out, I'm dead. Roland has already lost his mother."

"Okay, okay. Go to your son, enjoy your time with him, and don't worry, I will take care of your lady, nothing will happen to her."

"Thank you John, I really appreciate it," Robin says, gets up from the chair and grabs his jacket.

'"You won't say goodbye, will you?"

Shaking his head, Robin says: "I can't. If she wakes up, I won't be able to go. I won't go, that's why I called you in the middle of night. It is now or never."

"Go then, everything will work out just fine here. I've got this," John reassures Robin, watching him struggling, his fingers are clenching his bag, his shoulders are stiff, his jaw is tightened as he approaches the door.

But he can't go like this, he needs to see her one more time, needs to make sure she will understand. So leaving his bag on the floor, he opens very quietly the bedroom's door, and sees Regina sleeping peacefully, just the same way he left her a couple of hours ago. She is embracing a pillow in her arms and he is just a step away from slipping inside the sheets with her, but he needs to be strong and walk away for the sake of them both.

So, he leaves a messy written note on the pillow next to her, before kissing her temple slightly, and then he walks away.

John watches him from outside and shakes his head. "Remember that if you regret this,you can come back, Robin, and we will figure something out for Gold."

"I need some time, John,and being in the same room with her, I cannot think clearly."

Robin thanks his friend and hugs him, patting his back slightly, while John tells him not to worry. Regina will be fine with him.

"Tell her that I didn't want any of this to happen. Tell her I'm sorry," he says before turning his back, and he starts walking.

John nods and tells him that they will be in touch,and he closes the door behind him.

Robin gets in his car, trying to hold back his glances one last time at the house, before driving away.

Regina wakes up, stretching her arms while opening her eyes to find nothing but empty sheets and a messy written note from Robin.

As she is filled with panic, she gets up,gets dressed quickly and attempts to open the door, realizing that she is locked up in the room starts hitting the door loudly, while shouting Robin's name.

A few seconds later, the door opens and a very large man with long curly brown hair and beard appears in front of her. Terrified, she takes a few steps back, trying to hide her fear."Who are you," she asks,thinking that this can't be happening, not again. He left her with someone else for a second time, and something tells her that he won't come back for her this time.

John watches her terrified expression and he remembers what Robin told him about Greg, so he rushes to reassure her. "I'm not going to hurt you. And I promised to Robin that I won't tie you up but you have to promise me that you won't try anything stupid because you will put us in danger,okay?"

"Where is Robin?"She asks once she recovers from her shock,still maintaining a distance between them.

"He needed to go, I will take over from now on."

"No!"She gasps, shaking her are already running down her bastard fucked her and left her. This cannot be happening. How stupid she was to get emotional, to be attached to a person like him?

"I'm gonna bring you some coffee and breakfast, ok?" John offers,as he watches her struggling to keep the tears back.

"Leave me alone," she whispers, sitting back on the lowers his head, nods and locks the door behind him.

Regina curls on the bed, hugging a pillow like a child. She notices that it smells like him while she cries and cries, cursing herself for getting emotionally attached to him, blaming nothing else than her stupid heart which believed even for a while that she could have someone to want her,to care for her,someone to hold her. He was the worst of all, making her feel wanted and cared for, and then abandoned her like she meant nothing. She hates him.

John opens the door with a tray offood and a coffee and leaves it on the table.

"Get the hell out of here, I want to be alone," she says with a stern voice, trying to hide her sobs.

John doesn't respond, besides he was expecting this behavior since Robin made sure that he knew exactly what kind of woman he had to deal with.

Next day, John's phone is ringing again and he doesn't even care to look who is it since he already knows it's Robin. He calls every two damn hours after he left.

"There is nothing new, mate," John picks up the phone huffing. "I told you two hours ago, and then two hours before that."

"I'm sorry John, but I can't help it," Robin responds.

He misses her, he misses her so much. He couldn't believe it would be that difficult.

He is at home with Roland. He fed him, he played with him, he is happy that he got to spend some time with his son, but he misses her so damn much he actually can't stop calling. He wants to hear her.

"Did she say anything?" Robin asks, the hope is apparent in his voice.

"She doesn't talk to me, mate. She is a real bitch sometimes you know,she almost screams when she sees me, even if I'm just going to give her some food."

Robin laughs lightly, because she used to behave like that with him as well, and her sharp mouth was so frustrating that he wanted to kiss itso much till she was out of breath.

"But apart from that, we don't have any interaction. She is a tough one," his friend tells him on the phone.

"Tell me about it," Robin says while laying back on the couch. "So, do you remember the details? Tomorrow at midnight, you have to be in the place of the trade. Blanchard should be there, he gives you the money, you give him…" but his voice breaks at that, he doesn't want to even name it, name her, it hurts him.

"Mate, I've got this, you don't have to worry. How's Roland anyway?" John changes the subject.

"He is fine and healthy, he is growing up so fast… every now and then I feel guilty I'm missing most of that."

"Then maybe you should stop doing this and find a normal job. You aren't meant for that kind of job anymore, mate," John advices him.

"I know," he admits, letting out a long breath. "I miss her."

"I bet you do."

Their phone call is interrupted by Regina's violent banging on the door, as John groans and adds: "Your lady is being abitch again. She is hitting the door like a caveman," he comments with a chuckle as he walks towards her room.

Every time Johns refers to Regina as "Robin's lady," Robin's stomach tightens, he would love to call her that, he would love this to be truth.

"Be nice, John, please," Robin says to his friend.

Regina gets up from the reaches for the bottle of water that is on the night stand, when she spots her clothes on the floor.

Stretching her arm, she grabs her pants and start gathering all her clothes as well, because they remind her of last night, and she doesn't want this. She wants to distract herself from him, because she hates him, he abandoned her and also this room is a mess, and she can't stand the sloppiness. She has to do something, has to distract herself.

While she is walking around, she spots his trousers under the over, she grabs them and starts folding them when his wallet slips from the pocket and falls open on the looks down curiously, and while she picks it up, it opens and her eyes are spotting a small photo of a little boy.

He has a son? He is married?He has a family and he is doing that kind of job?He has a wife and he had sex with her? That's why he left, she was good for one night but now he had to go back with his wife?

Suddenly,disgust and anger take over her. She wants to cry, she never felt so much hatred towards anyone before, and if he was here, she swears she would have hit him.

She starts banging the door furiously, because she needs air, she needs to go out, to yell, to scream.

The door opens and the first thing that John spots – along with Regina appearing ready to break down in tears - is a wallet in her handswith Roland's picture.

Stupid man.John thinks when he realizes that is Robin's wallet.

"Is he fucking married?" She asks furiously, eyes full of anger, cold but watery. She won't cry over a man who kidnapped her, fucked her and left her like she meant nothing. Regina Mills won't cry for him.

"Does he have a family?" She asks once more, and John is frozen in his place, he doesn't know what to say. He doesn't know how to handle this, it is the first time he is dealing with something like this.

She is not stupid, she knows he is Robin's friend. He is a fucking bastard, but after the incident with Greg, he wouldn't have let her with someone whom he didn't trust.

"Answer me!" She growls loudly, and John takes a step back. She is a really tough one.

"It is not my job to answer anything," he responds calmly, "and certainly, this is not a right attitude towards me. I had you strolling freely in the house most of the time we spent together, and if I remember correctly, you are married as well,Ms. Mills."

"He knew I was married," she says, running her fingers through her hair.

"I know you are talking on the phone with him. I'm not stupid, I heard you last night. Next time he calls, tell him I hate him," she screams with clenched teeth while her tears are ready to fall down her cheeks. They are almost there but she won't let them, she is too proud for that."And if you may please add that when I get the hell out of here, he will regret this. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, he does,"she finishes, throwing the wallet almost at his face, and closes the door in front of her, finally letting the sobs take over her.

John almost runs to the kitchen and grabs his phone, calling Robin instantly.

"Tell me, why are you so stupid?" He spits when Robin picks up the phone.

"What happened, John?"He asks in an alarmed tone.

"You forgot your fucking wallet, Robin, she found Roland's picture,she thinks you are married with kids."

Robin feels his heart stop beating while the phone almost slips from his hands. "I can't believe this. Did you tell her anything?"

"Mate, this is your job to do, and from what I hear right now, she might break something so you have to come over," John answers seriously. "Besides, she is fucking scary, I don't want to be in the same room with her for much longer," he comments to lighten the atmosphere.

"She is just hurt," he whispers "and is my fault. I'm coming over," he says while getting up and grabbing his keys.

He has to go, he cannot leave her like is not some awful person, he could never do that to cares too much and he might not admit it to John, but he knows, he admits to himself that he is over heels for Regina Mills.
