Everyone got the whole week off. Thanks to Magnus' fantastic mood and the fact that everything was running more than smoothly at the sanctuary. Kate had gone back to hollow earth to be with her new fiance. Henry was off to London to see Erica and the big guy went with him. That left Helen and Will at the house alone.
"What do you wanna do...?" Will asked, standing behind the big couch in Helen's office, that she was sprawled across, book in hand. She looked up at him, eyebrows raised.
"This." She lifted to book.
"What? Magnus, you read all the time. Don't you wanna get out, smell the roses...you know, etcetera..."
"what do you have in mind?" she put the book on the table and sat up. He walked around the table and sat on the arm of the couch.
"Uh, I don't know. Get out, do something I've never done. Go dancing, go fishing, eat African cuisine..."
"African cuisine?...and you've never been fishing?" she chuckled, "how about we wait a few hours, at least until its dark and then we'll go out for dinner and maybe we'll go dancing?"
"Yeah, that sounds good. Sounds exciting. Didn't pick you for the dancing type." she cocks her head.
"Ah, William, there's probably a lot of things you don't pick me for. You'll see, I'm a lot of fun."
Hours later Magnus knocks on Will's bedroom door. He opens the door and his jaw nearly hits the floor from the sight of the magnificent woman standing in front of him. Will always thought Helen was hot, but nothing compared to how she looked on this particular evening. Her lips were scarlet red, her hair was straight and out, pulled over her left shoulder. Her dress was short, tight and black. But for Will, the cherry on top was the shoes. Red, six inch pump stilettos.
"Wow, Magnus..." His heart was racing. He was speechless. Helen blushed and giggled.
"I'll take that as a compliment...and, it's Helen tonight. Please, Will." He nodded, still speechlessly staring at his boss. The woman of his dreams. "Ready?...Let's paint the town."
Another glowing smile and Will was putty in her hands. They took a cab into the centre of old city, where they had reservations at Alfredo's. Magnus' favourite restaurant. They'd been sitting there for almost three whole hours. Eating, talking, drinking, joking, drinking, drinking. Helen was feeling tipsy and grabbed Will's hand across the small table, looking into his eyes.
"Take me dancing William." She said smiling at him, he couldn't help but return the smile.
"Okay, I know a great place you might be into. Let's go." They leave the restaurant and walk five block from Alfredo's, Helen notices she hasn't let go of Will's hand since she took hold of it back at the restaurant. She also notices that they're fingers are now laced together, like a couple in love hands would be. She blushes and smiles a small smile. She doesn't remember the last time she was this excited.
"Where are we going?" she quietly asks. Will looks at her and smirks.
"you're just gonna have to wait and see." She pouts and he laughs. "we're almost there...Helen."
He felt a bit uncomfortable saying her first name, but then again, he does have her hand in his and she has been flirting with him all night, being on first name terms shouldn't feel weird.
"Okay, we're here." he says looking at a closed door, in a dark alley way. Helen looks at him, though she could hear the beat of loud music coming from inside, she still looked unsure about it.
"Will, this place looks dangerous..."
"You, Helen Magnus, think this club looks dangerous. When every other day, you're trapped underground or trying to catch some abnormal?" She rolls her eyes and huffs. He lets go of her hand to open the door, while laughing. She steps inside and looks around, there are people everywhere and the lights are bright but the music is loud and it feels good to be surrounded by the feeling of heavy bass. Will passes her but grabs her hand on the way past and leads her through the crowed towards the bar. He orders four shots of Jameson. He downs his two and waits as Helen just looks at hers.
"Come on. Helen, just loosen up. We're here to have a great time." She smiles at him and downs her shots. She slides off her stool and links her arm through Will's and they push their way through the crowd onto the dance floor. She starts to sway her hips to the beat and all Will can do is stare. He can't believe how hot she looks tonight, and now she's almost drunk and dancing against him. He feels like he could explode. She keeps swaying to the music as she takes Will's hands and puts them on her hips, she steps closer to him and boldly whispers in his ear,
"I've wanted you since the day I brought you to the sanctuary..."
