The Assistant

Part II / Oh My Bloody God

            October the thirty-first rolled around. Kaiya had found a costume in time for the ball. Which, Narcissa had promised, was going to be an absolutely lovely affair. Lucius work load had slowly began to dwindle down after working almost non-stop for eight weeks. As Kaiya filed the last paper, she sighed and laid back on the chaise. She smiled.

"That wasn't as hard as I thought it would be." Kaiya laughed. "I'm finished Mr.Malfoy!"

Lucius looked up from his work. "Good. Now you can start on these." Lucius bent down and picked up another stack of files.

Kaiya groaned, and walked over to Lucius desk and dent down to pick up the files. "You don't have to start on them now. I suspect you want to go home and get ready for the Halloween ball Narci is throwing."

"Well actually," Kaiya blushed slightly. "I was just going to get dressed here."

Lucius raised an eyebrow. "And where exactly were you going to change?"

"I was going to change right here, until you pulled out that stack of files." Kaiya smirked. "But I decided against it."

"You're a wonderful little trollop, aren't you." Lucius smirked.

"Well, atleast I'm not the one wearing a gridle." Kaiya smiled as she picked up the files and walked back over to the chaise.

"It's not a gridle, it's a back brace." Lucius replied angrily. "I pulled something."

"Right, and I wear a wonderbra because I sprained my breasts." Kaiya muttered.

+=+=+=+=+

"Yes... well that's facsinating. Oh, I think I hear Narcissa calling me. Good-bye!" Kaiya smiled and backed away quickly.

            Once lost in a sea of people, Kaiya breathed a sigh of relief. My God, that man is persistant, she thought. Not To mention he looked about eighteen years her senior. He also reminded her of the man Lucinda had an affair with. She never understood how her friend could have shagged a fifty-three year old man. The mental image alone was disturbing enough. But no, Lucinda had to go into explicit detail how everything went. It was enough to put Kaiya of sex for a good three months.

"Oh there you are, I was just telling Walden all about you." Lucius said, the man named Walden gave Kaiya a seductive smirk. Kaiya gulped.

"Hello, I'm Kaiya Wiltons." Kaiya proffered her hadn for him to shake.

Walden kissed it. "Nice to finally put a name with a face."

"Nice to meet you as well, Walden." Kaiya gave him a half grimace, half smile.

"Oh there you are, my pet." a man called. Kaiya's eyes widened and she ducked behind Lucius.

"I see you met Augustus Alconbury." Lucius whispered to Kaiya.

"Augustus Alconbury..." Kaiya repeated, and then gasped. "He's the one Lucinda was having an affair with. Oh my bloody GOD!!"

"You know Lucinda?" Lucius asked, Kaiya nodded.

"She used to be my roommate until she was put up in this really posh penthouse by an Auggie Alconbury. I thought he was some swank trust-fund wanker." Kaiya replied, slowly edging behind Lucius. "Until I meet him. He was nineteen years her senior. Personally I found it quite disgusting."

"I think he's got a little thing for you." Lucius sniggered.

"Really, I swear, that man can smell a secretary a mile away." Kaiya replied, know fully behind Lucius.

"Well now, don't hide my pet. I only want to dance with you." Augustus slurred, clearly drunk.

"Yes, Kaiya, you wouldn't want to make a scene, now would you?" Lucius smirked, pushing Kaiya in front of himself.

"Wonderful! Let's go!" Augustus tugged Kaiya onto the dance floor.

"I'm going to kill you!" Kaiya mouthed as she was pulled away from Lucius

+=+=+=+=+

"HOW DARE YOU!! UNHAND ME YOU PERVERTED GERIATRIC!!" Kaiya screamed.

"Oh come now, I know what your generation likes. A little petting isn't abnormal." Augustus whispered.

"IF YOU HAVE THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER PERSON!! SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!! SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!!" Kaiya yelled at the top of her voice.

"Please calm down, you're causing a scene." Augustus put a finger to her lips.

"I will most certainly not calm down!" Kaiya snapped. "I really don't give a flying fuck if I'm causing a scene!"

"Please, you're just making a mountain out of a mole hill." Augustus replied.

"YOU STUCK YOUR HAND DOWN THE FRONT OF MY DRESS!!" Kaiya shrieked. "YOU TRIED TO FONDLE ME!! YOU ARE A SICK-MINDED GERIATRIC WHO SHOULD SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!! OR ATLEAST FIND A DOCTOR TO TELL YOU YOU DON'T NEED VIAGRA!!!"

"What's viagra?" Augustus asked.

"ARRGH!!" Kaiya groaned. "Narcissa, Lucius thank you for the semi-wonderful experience of inviting me to this affair. I bid you both good night." with that, Kaiya stormed out of the ballroom.

"What a little trollop, eh Lucius." Augustus huffed.

"Yeah..." Lucius sighed. "A little trollop."

+=+=+=+=+

"Oh Luc, quit worrying." Narcissa reassurred her husband. "Maybe she's having a lie in."

"She would have owled by now." Lucius replied, pacing the study. "She's never late."

"Well, you can't on time every single day." Narcissa concurred. "I mean, she had to have been late before."

"Like I said before Narci," Lucius stared at the fireplace. "She's never late."

            Suddenly the study door banged opened. Kaiya strode in looking absolutely furious. Her travelling cloak billowed out behind her lithe frame. She ripped off the cloak and threw it down on the chaise. Then she flopped down on the chaise, kicking and screaming like a young toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

"Is that all I am?" Kaiya asked, more to herself then the other occupants of the room. "A piece of meat for men to play with."

"Oh God, she's having an idenity crisis." Narcissa hopped up at once. "Would you please leave us alone for awhile , Luc."

"But Narci... there's much work to be--" Narcissa glared at her husband. "Alright, I'll be back later on."

            Narcissa walked over to Kaiya. Kaiya was sobbing violently into the chaise pillow. Narcissa sat down on a nearby poof, her hand on her chin, clearly in deep thought.

"Men used to think the same thing about me." Narcissa said suddenly.

Kaiya stoppe sobbing, reduced to sniffles. "Really?"

"Kaiya, I was much like you when I was your age." Narcissa replied. "Men always grabbing at my dresses. Smacking my bum, trying to fondle my breasts. It's the price of being devastatingly beautiful."

"You think I'm devastatingly beautiful?"

"Who wouldn't?" Narcissa smiled. "Men may think you are a piece of meat, but you just have to be strong and confident to push them away."

"Or?"

"Or marry a very respected man who sets fear into the hearts all the people below him and his family."

"I doubt that every happening."

"Oh come now, what are you twenty, twenty-five?"

"Actually, you're never going to believe me, but I'm thirty-four."

Narcissa mouth dropped open. "You're having me on!"

Kaiya reached down for her purse, and pulled out her apparation liscense. "Look at my birth date."

"March twenty-fourth, nineteen-sixty-nine. Two-thousand-three minus nineteen-sixty-nine...." Narcissa calculated the numbers in her head. "My GOD you are thirty-four!"

"I told you so." Kaiya laughed

"Are going to able to carry on today or do you need some time off?"

"I can work today." Kaiya smiled. "Thanks for everything."

"Oh, it's nothing at all. I'll go and fetch Lucius."

+=+=+=+=+

"Lucius, I just think that it would be more benifical to the Ministry. Fire the little wench." Augustus declared.

"I can't." Lucius replied, sending Augustus a icy look.

"And why not? She's a filthy little wench who deserves nothing but to be sacked. Besides, she's Ministry staff." Augustus looked smug. "As the head of your corporation, I think that gives me the right to fire and hire who I want."

"Actually," Lucius smirked. "she's not Ministry staff. She's on the Malfoy payroll, giving you no right to fire her."

"You hired her as your own staff member?"

"Yes, so, you have no right to fire her." Lucius turned to leave. "Good day you filthy perverse geriatric."

"What was that, Malfoy?!" Augustus demanded.

"You're a filthy perverse geriatric," Lucius paused. "and you're fired."

Lucius smirked as he walked out of the office, feeling quite fulfilled with himself.

Whew! What a chapter, next one's much more exciting than this one (hopefully). But keep reviewing, more to come!
