So, my little beasties. I've decided to just jump in and enjoy the ride these characters are providing me with. I was very happy to read your positive reviews, it really made me a lot more enthousiastic to write this. As usual: feel free to review, positive or negative! It boosts my morale. Hope you enjoy!


She parked her car in a free spot close to the entrance, put the gear in park and left the brand new volvo. 'How nice of my boss to provide me with such a beauty.' Aurora thought. It had been hard negotiations, but she wouldn't let herself get send off to America without at least a few perks. The brand new laptop and upperclass appartment hadn't persuaded her, but the promise of a brand new car had been enough to get her packing up her stuff. It had also gained her a new nickname around the office, as everyone had taken to calling her Princess.

She entered the shop, pushing her sunglasses over her hair to rest on top of her head. She smiled when she saw the mysterious brunette, reading a book while sipping from her coffee. Aurora walked to the counter, ordered a mocha and after she had provided it with some more sugar – oh, how she liked sweets – she walked over to the woman that called herself 'Mal'.

''So, you decided to come after all.'' The brunette spoke softly, a grin appearing on her face. She put down the book, looking up to the blonde that stood before her. Aurora hadn't noticed before how sharp her face was, sporting high cheekbones, a great jawline and the strongest yet most feminine eyebrows she had ever seen. And those eyes, – by god how did she pull of so many colors in her eyes – she could see green, specks of gold and a small ring of red around the pupil. Why did she have the feeling she had seen those eyes before?

''Well, you asked so nicely I could barely resist, could I?'' Aurora jested with a sly grin, refering to the note Mal had put in her purse when she walked out of the grocery store earlier that day. She pulled a chair back and sat down, taking a sip from her coffee deciding it was still too hot to drink.

After a couple of awkward seconds being filled with nothing but the sound of jazz softly playing through the speakers, they started talking. About Aurora's work, her home in London and her hobby's. But nothing about Maleficent. She was a great listener, Aurora found out, and she shared everything as if they had known each other for years. I never tell anyone this much about me, what is wrong with me? She whispered to herself when Maleficent was ordering their second coffee.

When she came back Aurora smiled, dedication filling up her eyes. ''So Mal, we've talked an awful lot about me, how about you tell me some things about you?'' Was that doubt Mal's eyes showed?

''There's not much to tell, actually. I don't nearly have a life as exciting as yours, and I believe I would bore you to death if I went on about my cat for about an hour.'' She grinned, hiding the pain visible in her eyes by focusing on her coffee. Aurora decided not to push the woman at the other end of the table to talk about her life, as she was obviously not comfortable doing so.

''I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be bored to death.'' She chuckled, hoping to lighten up Mal's mood a bit. It seemed to work, Mal didn't look down anymore but stared right in to Aurora's azure eyes.

''I guess I could tell you I enjoy reading, but you probably could have guessed that already.'' She smiled, pointing at the book she had been reading when Aurora had walked in.

''Yeah, I figured as much.'' The blonde winked back. ''Any other hobby I may know about?''

''I like gardening.''

''Oh, that's nice. What kinds of plants do you prefer?''

''Anything actually. I'll walk around the forest near my house and find broken plants or flowers and I'll take them home, care for them until they're back to health.''

''Wow, that's actually quite the hobby.'' Aurora had always loved nature, but living in London the only greenery she saw were the royal parks scattered around the city. ''I would love to see your garden someday.'' She nearly whispered, as if she was asking something she shouldn't be.

''Maybe one day. I don't often take people to my home, I'm very.. private.''

Now or never, it has to be good.

''I take people home all the time.''

No! No no no! That was not supposed to come out that way. My god, now she's going to think you're the biggest slut around. Well played, Aurora.

Maleficent chuckled, her laughter only amplified by the look of pure horror on Aurora's face.

''I believe you didn't intend to say that?'' The brunette said between laughing fits.

''Not quite, no.'' Aurora could feel her cheeks turning red, and at that something happened.

Mal's icy exterior had thawed for just a second, leaving a beautiful, careless woman in its wake. It heated something within the blonde, and before she knew it, it had set its way to her lips, causing her to smile like a huge idiot.

''Well, I would love to go to your place, I can't be the only one around that has never been there, can I now?'' Maleficent all but purred with a glistening in her eyes that could only mean one thing: lust.

Aurora didn't know how fast she should get her purse, grabbing the keys to her car. She winked at Maleficent, grabbed her hand and almost ran to her car. When she tried to open the door, in her clumsiness forgetting to unlock it first, she felt two hands taking her by the hips, turning her around in one swift motion.

Mere inches away was the brunette, her eyes still filled with the same glistening. Aurora put her hands on the other womans back, drawing her closer, the hands on her hips strenghtening their grip. Her lips parted slightly and she could see Mal's pupils dilate in response.

She could see Mal's full lips – how gorgeous – part as well, her face coming closer to hers. For a few seconds that felt like an eternity Aurora could only feel the need to close the gap. When she finally did a tention that had built up in her stomach released, giving way to all the endorphines that had been bursting to get out.

The kiss tasted of coffee, Aurora's flavour slightly sweeter than Maleficent's. Aurora gasped lightly when Maleficent took her lower lip between her teeth, dominating the kiss. She moaned, unaware of the place they were in, causing Maleficent to break their kiss.

''Perhaps this is not the right place to.. Continue our behaviour.'' She smirked, licking her lips. ''Let's get out of here.''

And with that Aurora finally found the button that unlocked the car, and she knew she would be home in record time.
