~1970~
Twenty-eight year old Fiona Goode was sitting at Miss Robichaux's Academy's dining table, waiting for Spalding to bring out their dinner, while her mother Clarice sat at the head of the table. The other guests that evening were Oscar Sears, and Harvey Foxx. Oscar Sears was Fiona's soon to be husband…arranged by the one and only Supreme Clarice. Clarice had set up this marriage, believing that she could form the most powerful couple of the coven, so that when she passes, she can rest in peace knowing her daughter and son-in-law will have all the knowledge and power. Fiona hated and despised every part of this idea…and not only did she hate the idea, but she hated the man. She couldn't stand to look at him and his already balding head. She was a beautiful and attractive woman, who knew she could do much better, and already knew where she could find better, for that matter.
As she looked across the table, there was Harvey. Harvey was the covens next up and coming wizard. They preferred the term wizard instead of witch, when they were talking about males with powers of their own. But Harvey was the man for her, and they both knew it. They had spent many a night sneaking out from the Academy to go off together and have passionate nights beneath the New Orleans stars, unbeknownst to Clarice and Oscar.
"Fiona?" Clarice asked in an annoyed manner.
"Yes?" Fiona looked to her mother, coming out from her daydreams.
"I asked you if you had finished planning for you and Oscar's wedding. It's coming up you know. And we can't have a wedding with no cake picked out." Clarice gave a small and polite chuckle.
"No mother…I haven't." Fiona rolled her eyes and continued to pick at her food with her fork, giving no more thought to her wedding or mother. She just wanted out.
"Well you should probably get on that, otherwise nothing would get done."
"I heard you the first time." Displeased, Fiona got up from her chair and asked to be excused from the table. She swiftly walked up the stairs of the Academy's mansion, and made it into her spotless room where she had candles lit everywhere. Candles soothed her and made her feel cozy and warm…happy, almost. She heard a small knock on the door, and then it opened. It was Harvey. Her frown instantly turned into a small and relieved smile, running into his arms and holding onto him as tight as possible.
Harvey couldn't' help but smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held onto her with all his might. He loved this woman to the moon and back, and she knew it.
"I want you so bad…" He whispered softly into her hear, while running his hands up her back.
Fiona couldn't help but frown once again. She wanted him more than anything, but they just couldn't…not while Oscar was in the house.
"I want you too…I can't stand living like this." Fiona put her hands on his cheeks, pulling him in for a passionate kiss. "You're everything to me…"
Harvey leaned down and kissed her neck ever so gently, while pulling her in closer. "I love you, baby doll."
Fiona closed her eyes and let a small exhale escape her lips, enjoying the kisses placed on her neck.
"Fiona!" Oscar called up the stairs to her. "Come downstairs, we're going to start a game of poker with mother!"
An angry sigh left Fiona's mouth, and she looked up to Harvey. "Rain check?"
"You know it." Harvey grabbed Fiona's butt and squeezed it gently. She let out a small giggle and they both walked downstairs. Fiona had walked first and Harvey followed behind a few minutes later, so it looked like they weren't together.
