Another chapter! I'm here, not much to tell! How's week been? I have been thinking about the story and... WE'LL HAVE CLICHÉS! the "blind" date, the mistaken for a couple cliché, the fake relationship cliché, etc. What clichés do you like? Maybe if you drop them by the comment/review section I borrow a few and include them here, or maybe, even better: i do one shots.

But, ENOUGH TALKING! thought some fluff would be appreciated before the storm comes and destroys things. Now, let's just read, and see how things evolve, shall we?

P.S: all grammar and spelling mistakes are solely mine, so if you find something that doesn't make much sense, tell me! I need to learn and get better, and this is the best way.

And Malia left, thinking that the woman was indeed crazy.

But fate threw them together, once more. After three days of not showing up, Regina was fired, and the sixteenth of November, when the clock told the world it was 11 a.m, Malia Page ringed Regina Mills' door, over and over again, because her daughter wanted the woman to attend her birthday weekend in New York, which would start right after lunch, and as much as she hated the situation, as much as she wanted to cry, she wouldn't. She said she would try, and if she had to drag herself in front of a psychopath in order to make her beautiful, pure Lily happy, she would.

After too much noise, unable to ignore it, Regina wrapped her body with the sheets and descended the stairs carefully, her head pounding, her mouth dry. She grabbed Graham's shirt along the way, throwing it somewhere, and reached the door, only to see Lily's mother on the other side. She knew a lot about the woman based on Lily's rambling during their evenings tidying the school library; that child loved her mother, she was her hero, her role model, and she admired her so much, which was sometimes contradictorial because at the same time, Lily complained about how absent her mother was, the disappointment she seemed to be, always lying. Somehow, it made her think of her own mother, too evil to have a heart, and it made her have a deeper connection with the girl. But then again, this woman was nothing like Cora, and if she could hate her, thing would be much easier, but she couldn't. And that was sinking into her, how helplessly connected they both, whether they liked it or not.

"Look, if you don't want to talk, it's fine, I just dropped by to tell you that Lily wants you to come to New York with us for the weekend, to spend it together". Regina could see the woman rolling her eyes and smirked, kind of amused by the woman's shocking sincerity. She unlocked the door and stepped away, letting the older woman inside; why? Because, as much as they disliked each other, they had something in common: Lily. Lily, Lily, Lily, and nothing else, that was already enough.

Once inside, Mal couldn't help but to glance at the woman, white sheet loosely hanging around her body, covering not too much. She observed her clear shoulders, noticing how white passing the woman could be, and when she turned, she noticed that scarred back, and a tattoo on her left shoulder blade which said 'destroy what destroys you', and by judging the slight blur, it wasn't recent, but it wasn't old either. Back to the scars, they were small, barely noticeable, but although the woman's skin wasn't exactly dark, it was darker than the pale lines, and if you payed enough attention, you could just see them and wonder why on earth did she had them; but, being who she was, she knew what they were and she could imagine how she had them and who did them, because as a lawyer she had seem child abuse but before being a lawyer, she had being a child, too.

Malia followed her to the kitchen, where Regina grabbed a huge box and opened it, revealing all sorts of doughnuts. Suddenly, Mal just wanted to sit and eat those-

"Let's be clear: I don't like you, you don't like me, but Lily likes us both enough, and we know enough to know she won't give up until we get along, and I'm assuming you are here because of our one and only point in common, so spit it out"

"She wants you to come with us. To New York, for the weekend". As annoying the woman was, she had such a fine ass and that tongue licking her plump lips was doing things to her lesbian self.

"We'll pretend to get along as long as she's near" Regina added, biting on the small circular cake. She grabbed another right after swallowing the first and, biting it, the weird strawberry juice it had inside spilled all over slim fingers and the blonde lawyer couldn't help but to wonder how those same fingers would look coated with other type of juices.

"Yeah, right. Fine. I'll pay for everything" she could only add. This simple teacher right in front of her was in charge even naked and eating, and she didn't like not to be on charge of the situation. Oh God, was she blushing? She needed some sex as soon as possible, and maybe if she weren't somehow fighting with this woman, competing for Lilith's love, maybe she would just bend her over the table and-

"Oh, no. No, I can pay for my own stuff, Ms Page. Considering her birthday is tomorrow, when are we leaving?"

"In less than six hours".

Yep, Regina choked on her doughnut, letting the sheet slip and showing her perfect weapons, Mal couldn't stop looking and it wasn't until the woman in front of her could breathe that she didn't try to help.

"I'm fine, y'know, barely living, but… wait, are you seriously looking at my boobs?!" the teacher was red with anger and the reminiscent lack of air, and all Mal could say was "meet you at the airport at four p.m" before leaving the woman to rage alone. Now alone in her kitchen, Regina couldn't help but to stare at the nothing while thinking what the hell have I put myself on?

And that's all! Trip to New York! It's one my dream cities, I'd love to visit it or even live there for a while, so, if you know about the city on a personal level, you could tell me if you want to make their stay there more realistic, since tourist guides are not the same as seeing it live and in stereo, right?

More things and warnings will come, but for now, I leave with this. As y'all can see, some abuse hints, we'll talk about it later and it won't be pretty. For now we know Mal is 100% into women, but what about Regina? Make your bets!

As always, thanks for reading, XOXO
