A New Beginning

Chapter 7

Crap did I just say that last part out loud? "Ok, well I didn't mean to say that out loud, but since I did I'll be honest about it. I said I could get used to this, holding you in my arms". She lifts her head off my shoulder and asks "You could?"  "Yes I definitely could". She smiles and leans in close and kisses my lips. Nothing passionate, but a beautiful simple kiss. Her lips are so plump and soft and when she pulls back I long for more. "I really like you Emma". "I really like you to Regina do you think you'd like to go out sometime with me like a date or something?" "Yes Emma, I would like that very much". Then she kisses me again. And this kiss is a little deeper than the first one. I put my hand on her cheek and caress it. Her hand is down by my waist and she roams it all over my lower back and down by my ass. She moves to straddle me. Now it's my turn to move my hands down by her ass. I squeeze it and she releases a deep moan. We are getting so caught up in the moment that I did think about the fact she doesn't know about my secret yet, so when she stopped and pulled back a bit I thought nothing of it. She has a strange look on her face. I ask "What is it?" "Well, Emma I'm not try to ruin the mood or anything but what is it that I suddenly feel against my thigh?"  "Wha, oh fuck". I whisper. She gets off my lap and sits down next to me. "Regina I'm sorry I should have told you this before I asked you out. I was born with a male reproductive system. I know that may sound weird or gross or make me a freak. It's ok I've heard it all before. So if you wanna just forget about our date I understand. I never meant to mislead you. I just felt so comfortable with you I didn't think about it. I'm sorry. Look why don't I go and we can talk later ok. I'll see you Monday when I start at the sheriffs office, assuming I still have a job. It won't be the first one I've lost because of this". Then I just walk away. I'm almost at the door when Regina rushes to me and blocks the door. "Emma wait please give me a chance. You were talking so fast. I'm not upset about this. Just surprised is all  please come back and sit down". "Are you sure?"  "Yes please". We go back into the study and I pour myself an glass of cider and down it. "I'm not really ashamed of my body but it's just so hard to explain it to people. People are afraid of what's different and they don't get any more different than me". I laugh and pour another drink and sit down across from Regina. She seems disappointed that I didn't sit next to her. "So you said you were born this way"?  I nod. "That must have been difficult for you growing up". I nod again. "Emma I think you should know that I don't find you weird or anything else you said a few minutes ago. I still like you very much and would like to get to know you better, and I hope we can still have out date". "You still wanna have a date...with me?"  "Of course Emma, like I said I don't think differently of you. In fact I'm kind of intrigued. If what I felt against my thigh was anything to go by and can't wait to see what happens as our relationship progresses". I'm just blown away by everything she has just said to me. I'm speechless. I feel some tears fighting to get out of my eyes. "Regina I don't really know what to say to all that". "Well, I hope you'll say you want to see where we can go with this". "Yes I'd like that very much".
