The Only Exception

Pranks

Regina's POV
I had to leave early for a shift it was only for two hours and now I get to go back home. I really didn't want to leave Emma but she said she doesn't mind so I'll be fine. I walk inside and go to my room to see Emma isn't there and a note is on my bed.

Hi baby it's Emma, I'm going to the store I'll be back in 10! Muah <3

I smile and then change and decide to prank her because that would be really funny. I go into my bathroom and find my makeup bag. I get red and pink lip sticks and I'm going to do the hickey prank on her. Once I'm finished I try to put concealer over it so it looks like I tried to cover it up. I put on one of Emma's champion hoodies I stole and some black leggings. I think my dad had this camera so I go into the garage and open a box and I find it. I hide it on my dresser under and behind some random stuff. I sit down and play on my phone just chilling. The door opens and I start to freak out should I really be doing this? Too late she walks in and jumps on the bed wrapping her arms around me. "Hi babygirl" I smile at the cute nick-name and she kisses me softly. She starts to kiss down my neck and then she stops and I look up at her confused. "What's wrong" I ask trying to play stupid.

"What the hell is on your neck" she says way calmer than I had expected.

"Nothing, what do you mean" I say sitting up. She sits down and runs her hands through her long blonde hair.

"Don't play fucking stupid Regina"

"I'm not"

"There's a damn hickey on your neck" I fake shock and grab my phone to look at my neck.

"That's not a hickey Emma" she scoffs.

"Then what the fuck is it? A piece of pepperoni?" she yells. Now that's the reaction I expected.

"I don't know probably just burned my neck when I was straightening my hair" that's the first thing that popped into my head.

"Oh my god! Regina are you cheating on me" she says.

"Emma, it's not a hickey"

"Regina please don't lie to me, are you cheating on me" her eyes get teary and the way she is facing me the camera can probably see her tears.

"I'm not" that was the truth.

"Then what is that on your neck"

"Nothing! Why don't you trust me" I yell trying to get her angry.

"I do trust you it's just..... baby. Please don't tell me what I'm thinking is correct" she says and I can't stand to see her on the verge of tears.

"It's not, it's a prank" I say smiling and laughing. Her face falls and she doesn't believe me.

"Regina what" I point to the camera and she falls back on the bed and I straddle her and peck her lips. "Wipe it off" she challenges me. "It's just lipstick" I say rolling my eyes. "Mhm wipe it off" I grab the camera and go into my bathroom and then I set it down grabbing a makeup wipe and wipe it off. She rubs my neck and lets out a big sigh. She rubs her face and wraps her arms around my waist and places her head on my shoulder. "I was so scared" she admits pecking my neck. "I would never cheat on you" she smiles and then I end the video. I decide to post it on YouTube on my account.

Emma's POV
Regina pranked me now I'm gonna get her back. She made me cry I was so scared to loose her and our video has gotten over 8k views so far people are loving it. I'm doing the cheating prank like I'm texting another girl. I got Regina's bestfriend to be in on it. Her name is Mariana and I got her number so I could text her when I was coming so she could make sure no one did anything with Regina for that day. I didn't change her name so Regina could know who it was and we texted like a bunch of fake stuff to see how Regina would react. I deleted any messages before and turned my thing off so it doesn't show when I texted her. It doesn't show the date, time or if she read it or not so she won't know how long this has been going on. This is gonna be great. She got up to take a shower so I grab the camera and hide it so when she walks out she will see my phone. The shower stops and I quickly text her on Snapchat instead of imessage cause that's where the fake messages are. She opens the chat I sent. I told her to text me and blow up my phone in like 5 minutes so Regina could answer and see it. I turn the tv on and Regina has a PlayStation that I play fortnite on and I play a game waiting for her to come out. Something pops into my head and I decide to do something else to piss her off.

She walks out with straight hair a white v-neck shirt hugging her in all the right places and black leggings. She jumps on the bed and lays down playing on her phone. My phone dings and I pick it up. I bite my lip and smile hoping Regina sees and gets mad. I think she noticed because she slightly moved away from me. Damn well that was easy but I wanna stir the cake batter.

My phone dings again and from the corner of my eye I see Regina look at my phone confused so I quickly pick it up and answer Mariana with something.

It goes off one more time and then I text her back knowing I'm pushing some buttons in the control panel.

"Who are you texting" she asks.

"It's just a game" I say turning back to fortnite so I can play.

"Does this game have a phone number and a name"

"What's wrong"

"Your smiling at your phone, who are you texting"

"It's no one Regina" I fake getting mad so she thinks I'm hiding something and it worked seeing how she sits up and puts her phone down.

"Then let me see" she says.

"Regina seriously"

"Yes I'm fricking serious" I sigh and hand her my phone. She uses her fingerprint and it's immediately open to the messages so I snatch it from her and she grabs it back. She gets off the bed to put some distance between us as she scrolls up and reads the messages. I can see the anger and sadness in her eyes and I know she's feeling destroyed but I have to keep up the act.

"Are you kidding me! With one of my best friends!" She throws my phone across the room in anger and a tear slips from her eye.

"Regina it's not what it looks like"

"So your not cheating on me"

"I-I" she cuts me off.

"How could you do this to me! I love you!" She screams. And I don't know if I can take it anymore. She covers her face and cries and I quickly run around the bed to wrap her in my arms. She pushes me away and I grab the camera and turn it to face us. "It's a prank Regina" I say looking at her through the view finder. "Emma" she says. "I'm serious" and she pushes me away. "Come on please, I'm sorry but I had to get you back" she gives me a death glare and wipes her face. I rub my hand over her cheek and then pull her in for a hug. She puts her head on my chest and I kiss her head full of hair. "I love you princess" I say. "Mhm I bet you do" she mumbles.

"I threw your phone it's probably broken" she says.

"It's fine I guess I deserved it" I say.

"You did"

"Hey I said I'm sorry" I whine.

"I never said I forgive you" she says walking away from me. I stop recording and upload it to YouTube.
