My bosses wife

Chapter 35

[ Emma's pro ]
I still haven't forgiven Regina properly and I'm still mad at her. It's now late that night. Camilla and max are up in there rooms. Katie is asleep in Danis old room. Regina is sat in the lounge in front of the tv waiting for me to come back with her drink. I took the two wine glasses  in and gave her one. She was sat on the floor with a blanket over her. I went and sat next to her. The fire is on in the fire place since it's December and very cold.

"Thank you em" she replied sweetly.

"No problem. So what has the famous Regina mills been doing and where has she been" I asked before sipping my wine.

"I've been in Hollywood with James. I carried on my work and in the free time I helped him with his bar. He's moving back down here to live with me in my house next week. What about you? How have you spent this time with your new kidney" she replied and sipped her wine.

"I done everything I said I would. I am still sheriff but I volunteer at the hospital to make sure people aren't alone"

"You seemed to have kept yourself busy. I still can't believe max. He's so grown up and different" Regina says and I completely agreed.

"Yeah he has. It was like in the space of a few months he had a deep voice and chest and face hair. Both boys shot up so tall. Katie is your double though and she is so beautiful"

"I know. She is my gorgeous little girl. Thank god she looks nothing like her father" Regina says making me giggle. "I missed that laugh"

"I missed you making me laugh" I say softly with a sad look.

"I'm sorry. I really am but if it makes you feel better I saw robin again"

"Why would that make me feel better" I asked confused.

"Because when I saw him I punched him so hard round the face he had a nose bleed for ages. I stood up for myself. I made out with him after but I still stood up for myself" She then sipped her wine.

"Wait you what?!" I say shocked.

"Em I'm kidding. The thought of it makes me want to rip my eyes out. I told you I wasn't with anyone while in Hollywood because it just felt like I was cheating on you even thought I didn't have you anymore" she put her wine glass next to mine on the coffee table. "I really missed you"

"I missed you two" I mumbled as our eyes locked.

She smiled softly and cupped both cheeks with her hands.

"I honestly thought about you so much when I was gone and counted down the days until I could come back and hold you once again" she says as she slowly moved forward.

We are both pretty tipsy since this wasn't our bottle of wine. I moved away before our lips could touch. She looked confused and I stood up.

"I can't do this again Regina. I can't love you again" I say as I moved back a little. I looked down annoyed at myself.

"Em why not? You know I love you and I know you still love me. You can try hiding it but we both know it's true"

"That doesn't matter Regina" i cut me off completely. "What matters is you took one of our kids and left for 7 years. You broke my heart so bad. Give me a good enough reason to love you after that"

Regina stood up annoyed.

"She is my daughter so of course I took her and I left because I wanted you and your kids to have a life together. I sacrificed so much to make sure you lived your life and this is how I get repayed"

"I didn't need your help. I got my kidney on my own. Your help was useless and you didn't do shit. You think your helping people but all your life your just causing more and more pain in there life" I snapped really angry. She had tears in her eyes and her mouth slightly open. "Regina I didn't mean that" I say once I realised what I said.

"No fuck you. I'm going go home. Katie can stay here tonight if that's ok" she asked as she walked to the door.

She grabbed her coat and bag on the bottom of the stairs. She then left before I could say anything. I didn't mean anything I said. I was just so angry. Now I'm the one in the wrong. I looked out the window and saw her walking of. It was raining. Why is she walking home? I walked out the front door and down the path. I saw her walking down the street shaking in the cold rain. I legged it down the path and in front of her.

"Regina wait"

"Get off me" she says pushing my hands of her shoulders.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean that"

"fuck you! I tried so hard to make sure you could have a life with your kids. I had no idea about granny and if I did there way no way I would have left. You surely don't care that much because you would have figured out I wouldn't just leave like that and then you'd come find me. That proves you don't give a shit about me ever since I left" she says crying and shouting.

"I did come find you. About a year after you left. When I came you were in a bar with Katie, your brother and this girl who kissed your head from behind. You looked at her and kissed her cheek so that proves everything you said was a load of old shit. Your just a selfish bitch who wants her own way all the time" I snapped back.

"No I'm not! That was Belle. She is dating James. I am really close with her because she is like my sister. How dare you call me a liar? You know I cried myself to sleep most nights and counted down every single day until I could come back. I knew you would hate me but at least you would have survived long enough to watch your kids grow up. Don't you dare call me selfish because I lost so much to make sure you survived" she sobbed while angry.

She turned round to start walking away. I sighed and grabbed her shoulder.

"Regina wait"

She turned around and hit the back of her hand across my face. She looked angry at me but was crying at the same time.

"Don't touch me. I was in the wrong and I took blame for that. Now your in the wrong for how you treat me" she snapped angry.

I held my cheek a little shocked. She started walking and I could hear her crying lots. I'm dripping with water from all the rain. I watched her walking quickly down the path to get away. The stinging pain in my cheek didn't seem to go away. I didn't mean to snap at her. Well I did but after I realised that I was wrong. I can't forgive her for leaving me like that. I told her back then to accept it and let me deal with my cancer but she chose to make a stupid decision and leave me. Surely I can't forgive her for that. Can I?
