It was almost a week later, Charlie was hanging out with Bill again.
"So, did you like Fleur?"
"She seemed nice enough. She was rather attractive."
"I noticed you fawning over her."
Charlie blushed. "Yeah, sorry about that. She was so impressive at the Triwizard Tournament."
"It's fine, she has that effect on men being quarter-veela but I also noticed how jealous Esme watching you fawn over Fleur."
"She was jealous?"
Bill nodded. "I've known her for five years. I know her moods."
"Just say I had feelings for her, would you approve?"
"Who are you trying to fool, Charlie. You've had feelings for her for a while now."
"I have not!"
Bill raised a suspicious eyebrow at his younger brother.
"Who am I bloody kidding! I've been wrapped around Esme's finger for ages," Charlie admitted with a smile on his face.
"Thought so."
"So, you don't mind me having feelings for your best friend?" Charlie asked.
"Of course not, I can't think of anyone better for either of you. If you hurt her, don't think I won't hesitate to hurt you."
"Understood, Bill. Though, I know she can handle herself."
"I know she can but I just thought I would add the extra threat."
Charlie nodded.
"What are you waiting for, Charlie?"
Charlie hopped up and hurried to Esme's flat. He knocked on the door.
"Hey Charlie, this is a nice surprise," she smiled opening the door.
"Hey, Esme."
"Come in, I should probably go change into something more appropriate," she said closing the door behind her.
He could clearly see her breasts in her almost non-existent nightgown.
"Okay."
"Jessie is in the living room playing with her toys," she said.
Charlie nodded as he watched her stride away eyeing her firm arse in her nightgown. He walked towards the living room to see Jessie playing with her toys but she seemed to favor the dragon toy that he had bought her for her birthday.
"Hey Jessie," he smiled at the little girl as he kneeled down next to her.
She looked up at him with identical hazel eyes to her mother and this is why he couldn't say 'no' to either one of them.
"You two having fun?" Esme asked.
"Yes, mummy," Jessica answered.
She smiled at her little girl and turned to Charlie.
"Did you know I was coming over?"
"No, I didn't."
Charlie said. "So, that's your regular nightgown?"
"You noticed?"
"How could I not your breasts were out on display for everyone to see. Lucky it was me who came over and not anyone else."
"You didn't seem to mind when it came to Fleur," she said crossing her arms.
"This is no excuse but she is a veela, she has that effect on men."
Esme said. "I actually did you know you were coming over. Bill contacted me by floo."
He smirked. "So, you changed into your most revealing nightgown to open the door?"
"Guilty as charged."
"You know I don't really like French girls, I'm partial to half-Irish girls who may or may not curse in Gaelic every now and then," Charlie smiled.
"But Fleur is beautiful, I'm -"
"You're beautiful too, especially your hazel eyes. I've been wrapped around your finger since you were pregnant with Jessica. Then when you gave birth I became attached to your daughter."
"I never asked you to stay around, I know how much you love dragons. Almost as much I still love curse breaking."
"You're never getting rid of me now," he smiled walking towards her.
"I don't want to get rid of you, Weasley," she said returning the smile.
The sexual tension was dripping between them before they could act on their feelings Jessica interrupted.
"Are you hungry, sweetie?"
The little dark-haired girl nodded. Esme nodded, walked to the kitchen and pulled out some leftovers.
"Is there enough for all three of us? I'm kind of starving."
"Yes, there is. Your mum sent me over plenty."
Charlie nodded thankfully. The trio ate their lunch. There was a knock on the door. She wasn't expecting anyone else she knew it wasn't Ben, he would have contacted her or flooed.
"Esme?" her brother-in-law John's voice asked.
She leaned against the doorframe. "Hey, John."
"I've been corresponding with Ben. I finally got up the courage to visit. I know I have a niece or rather we have a niece named Jessica."
"Who's at the door, Esme?"
"Just my brother-in-law John," Esme answered.
Charlie joined her at the door.
"He didn't mention you were living with someone."
"I'm Charlie Weasley. I don't live here, I just came to visit."
John nodded.
"Do you want to meet Jessica?"
"Yes, if that's okay."
"Come in."
John walked in and immediately saw the little dark-haired girl sitting in her high chair.
"Jessie, this is your uncle John."
"Like Unc Bill?" she asked curiously.
Esme explained with a smile. "A little, but he's married to your Aunt Ruby who is my twin. While your Uncle Bill is just my best friend/co-worker."
Jessica nodded and stared up at her uncle.
"She has your eyes."
Esme smiled. "She does."
"I think I should get going," Charlie said.
"All right, I'll see you later, Charlie," Esme smiled.
He hugged her goodbye though he desperately wanted to kiss her and swat her arse.
"How long have you been seeing Charlie?" John asked.
Esme blushed. "We're not technically seeing each other yet."
"How do you know him?"
"He's Bill's younger brother."
John nodded.
