Okay, sorry! I really liked writing this one but then I had no idea how to keep going... It was meant to be a one-shot but I guess people like it so! I try to continue with it. Okay (deep breath) let's go?...
(husbands p.o.v)
I rushed into work, down the hall and to my office. This was a fourth time I'd been late this month, if I was anyone but the C.E.O. of my company I would be SO fired.
"Good morning Mr. Wesley" my secretary Lucy says, an amused smirk on her lips. She didn't glance up from her typing but I knew the smile was there "Busy morning?" I rolled my eyes with a grin.
"Good morning Lucy" she giggles lightly, hands me a coffee and keeps typing "What are we doing today?"
She hands me a stack of papers.
"Well you have to check over all the stocks for the markets"
"Okay" she hands me more papers
"You have a showing downtown for the girls group" she hands me blue papers "Your going to have to check all the clients and workers"
"Okay" I roll my eyes
"Your monthly speech is coming up" she hands me a book "You can choose any of these or make up your own"
"Thanks..." I say and glance at the stack of papers "But you know I don't like reading stuff when it's like this" I drop them back on the desk with a disgusted look and a shiver (SO many paper cut...) before heading into my office.
"That's why I stuck them in your briefcase, stapled, sorted and filed" she continues typing. I open my door and block it with a stopper, before throwing my coat on the hook and loading up my computer. I push the briefcase over across the table in annoyance and sit down at my large wooden desk.
"Great! But LUCY" I say with a shake of my head and a smile on my lips "You know I don't use my briefcase" I laugh quietly as I hear her chair roll backwards.
"Oh course you don't sir, it's for your brother" I look up to see her walk in and grab the case before leaving again, within seconds the clicking sound of keys is back "That's why I sent YOUR papers to your computer, you can find them in your mailbox" I laugh loudly before logging on.
"I knew there was a reason I hired you!" Lucy just smiles.
I loved this girl. No matter what I threw at her she would always be three steps ahead of me, Lucy was a close friend of mine and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I had found her wandering the streets at night, bleeding and broken... barely the age of 16. I scooped her up and brought her home. Sophia had a heart attack when I opened the front door and we took her to Hermione and Ron's. Hermione had gotten her doctorates a few years back and I couldn't risk taking her to a public hospital when she looked like this.
Apparently her abusive boyfriend had beaten her pretty bad and she collapsed in the street, I was so lucky I decided to pick up a bottle of whisky for the evening or I would have never found her. After she got better Sophia discovered that Lucy had a knack for brilliance, she could take Hermione on at any game and probably win. After we learned what happened Sophia and I adopted her into the family, well after auguring with my brother of course and we found her a job.
"Oh, sir?" I snap out of my thoughts and bring up the mail.
"Yes," I say, flipping through my E-mails.
"You're meeting started about 20 minutes ago..." I smack myself in the forehead
"Oh Bloody hell!" I mumble, she smiles.
"Don't worry though, Norman's stalling for you"
"Remind me to give that boy a raise!" she clicks on another box and writes it down.
"Yes sir" I quickly walk out of my office and down the hall "Um... Mr. Wesley?" I pause and turn around, she flicks her wand. My clothes turn right-side out, the buttons undo and click back to gather in the right holes. My shoes tie themselves before there quickly cleaned, and my hair gets combed. "Do me a favor and buy a mirror" She laughs before heading back to work.
(Sophia's p.o.v)
I sat on top of the table slowly running my fingers through my now tangled hair, I won! I guess... It's not really "Proper wife behavior" to enjoy making your husband late for work... but hey!
I'm a sucker for morning sex...
I took a sip of my coffee and grimaced, with a groan I spit it back into the cup. Cold... why did I also make my coffee so early? With a sigh, I dumped the light brown liquid down the drain and turn the machine back on. As it slowly reheated I made myself some toast and listened to the silence of the house.
Silence... there seemed to be a lot of that around now. It was like I was suffocating in it... it was on the walls, the floors, the lights, the deck. Everywhere I went it was just SILENCE! During the summer, I could always hear the neighbors kids yelling, screaming and laughing as they pelted each other with water or ran through magical sprinklers. But now the summer was over, the kids went to school and the silence was back... that might be one reason I try to keep my boo home. Turning on radios or listening to music helps but I can still feel the presence, like it's a thick black smoke stuck to my skin.
My fingers subconsciously rubbed over my scars, You couldn't see them from the glamour spell Hermione found for me... But, I could still feel the jagged scars that ran around my body like a child's art project. I swallowed the bile coming up and closed my eyes, the pictures and horrible memories of that night flashed through my mind and I weakly reached for my phone. My husband said I could call him if the silence got too much and here I was trying to click the number with my cowardly shaking fingers.
Though it would never be admitted, I cling to him like a lifeline. I sighed with a grim face and set down the phone, I brought my hand to my chest before wrapping it in my other one. I calmly rocked back and forth on the balls of my feet as I tried to block out the taunting voices.
"1001,1002,1003,1004,1005" I say quietly
I feel like I can breathe again when I'm with him. But then he goes... and I drowned all over again... it like I-I-I. A loud high-pitched ringing started drowning out my other senses, I whine loudly before dropping to the floor and hug my knees as I do everything I can to not hyperventilating in the middle of the kitchen. I could hear the pounding of my heart in my ears and I shut my eyes from what now seemed like the blinding light.
"1001,1002,1003,1004,1005."
DING-DONG! DING-DONG!
I shriek and fall back against the counter, my senses ringing from fright. My thought process had been broken and I looked around the room, the ringing fell into a dull whine and I glanced at the dulling light of the kitchen.
Ding-dong...
I breathed out a low sigh and shook my head, blood-hell I'm a mess. I don't know why I do that to myself! I pulled myself from the floor and grabbed my wand.
*knock knock knock*
"Hello?"
"Oh! coming!" I yell and race to the door, when it opens I see a slim blonde haired women in about her late forty's "Hello?" I smile "Can I help you with something?" the woman gave me a puzzled look.
"Oh, sorry. I'm here from magic's imperium, I called you last Tuesday? You said it would be fine to come at 10?" I look at the clock and sure enough 10:02 is staring back at me in bright red numbers. I smack myself in the head.
"Oh right! sorry, I had a busy morning!" I smile a bit "Please, come in!" I open the door and head down the hall. With a flick of my wand the door shuts itself and her coat and hat appears on the rack. "Thank-you for coming... Mrs. Wenstan?"
"Please, just call me Maria, you make me sound so old when you use those silly titles" she smiles, I could hear a deep southern accent hidden inside her voice. Clearly hidden away with practice for her line of work, poor thing.
"Is that a southern accent I detect?" I ask, she looks at me in surprise "Please, you don't have to change for me. Just be yourself... It's refreshing for a bit of a change" she smiles
"Well, YOU have a mighty fine ear young lady" she laugh with a pointed finger "Yep, This cowgirl was born and raised in the hot sunny lands of Louisiana-Texas... or well I was raised in Texas that is"
"Well, look at that" I changed my voice to match hers "I spent three years there on a retreat to learn about your culture" she and follows behind me, I show her our kitchen and grab my coffee.
"Would you like some coffee or tea?"
"Some tea would be nice" I heat up some water and pour some into her cup. After a few minutes of small chat she takes a sip and moans "Oh my, this is just like my mama used to make!" I smile and sip my drink.
"Please, why don't you head into the living room. The coaches are a lot more comfy that the chairs" I say and direct her down the hall, I cleaned up my breakfast before walking down the hallway... but for some odd reason I felt like I was forgetting something important...
"I'm sorry, I was very busy and forgot the sit down was today," I say before I realise she's standing just outside the room, a small smile on her lips. I didn't understand why she stopped until I walk into the living room and freeze, the room was a mess! Chairs were turned over, pillows were ripped. Feathers littered the floor, books laid in spilled piles by the fireplace. Cum was splattered on the floors, the walls and even on the pictures... my mouth fell open "I-I... um" I was at a loss for words, her smile grows to a Cheshire grin.
"Very busy indeed" she adds with a knowing smirk. I wanted to curl up in a ball and die...
"Oh, Bloody hell!" I whisper and grab my wand, with a VERY big blush I magically fix, clean and sanitized every object in the room. Chairs turned up right, pillows sewed themselves up, feathers vanished. Thunk thunk thunk! was heard as the booked Quickly flew back to their shelves. "I'm so sorry!"
I groan and hold my face, I swore I was as red as a tomato. I hear her slow breathing as we stand there in silence, her lips roll together to force away a smile. But within seconds, the shock wears off and it peaks back out again... the weight of the events crushing out the awkwardness. Finally, she bursts out laughing.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" a rich soulful southern laugh which soon had me laughing just as hard "You should see your face sugar!" I swear I never laughed so hard in my life! When we finished there were many cramps and lots of tears and somehow we both ended up on the floor "You know..." she smiles "I have seen STRANGE things on this job, but I have never and I mean never seen anything like this!"
"I'm so sorry, I knew I forgot something" she laughs lightly and waves her hand.
"Oh relax honey, I was married once!" I sit up and cross my legs "I know all about the mind blowing, head spinning, body sweating, hot hubby morning sex!" I laugh and sit on the couch, she sits down with me. "So, tell me sugar... how long have yall been together?" I pick up our wedding book and hand it to her.
"It will be three years in October" I blush, her body was wiggling side to side as she flipped through the book. Humming quiet southern tunes as she looked, I was still madly blushing so I quietly sipped my coffee to try to calm down.
"My... you found yourself quite a looker haven't you" she had stopped at the ones of us kissing under the whomping willow tree (magically charmed of course) "look, you two are itty-bitty peas in a pod!" she crosses her first and middle fingers together with a big grin. "You have to tell me everything!" I give a confused open-mouthed smile.
"But, what about the interview?" I ask, she waves her hand.
"Oh please! I'll give you an A+" she smiles and looks from the book to me "I have done this job for over 20 years and I was almost ready to hang it out to dry. But then I met you... and you showed me why I took this job in the first place! That's worth an A+ in my books" she winks at me.
"but..." I try and give up as she flips through my senior school book.
"Besides..." she smiles and shows me a picture of Gorge and Fred grinning like fools during the last few moments of our senior year. Suddenly I'm grabbed and pulled in the middle of the two. I start laughing before giving an amused smirk. "With a face like that... there has to be one hell of a story" she looked at me with a quirky grin which I sent right back.
"Well," I traced my fingers over the moving picture "It wasn't always like this... but I guess it all started when I first went to Hogwarts..."
R&R people!
