Loving Him
(Mary K.'s pov)
A/N: This is my first Sweep fic, so I hope everyone likes it! Oh and it's not going to be just a romance, there's going to be a lot of Wicca and adventure type stuff too.
Part 1
Loving him was against everything I stand for. He's a witch and my sister's ex-boyfriend. But I can't help how I feel, and lately I've been questioning everything. I'd always admired him when Morgan brought him home when we were younger, but that was years ago, I was still in high school then and.God I was so naive.
Morgan and Hunter had broken up years ago, and I hadn't seen or really thought of him since, but all that changed today. I saw him, for the first time in 5 years, and now I just can't stop thinking about him, or how my heart fluttered against my chest as I spoke his name; Hunter Niall.
He turned around and smiled at me, "Mary K." he said and I blushed at my childhood nickname, shortening my full name of Mary-Katherine. "It's Kate now" I told him, tucking my auburn hair behind my ear and smiling. "How are you Hunter?" He looked at the floor briefly before meeting my eyes again I when he did I sensed pain there. "I'm doing well" he replied formally and instantly I knew he was hiding something from me. "Did you hear about Morgan?" I asked. Hunter nodded, "So she's a married woman now, eh?" I nodded, "Married and pregnant with her third child." I supplied, "You should visit her sometime, I'm sure she'd like to see you" He shrugged and murmured, "It's not my place"
I cringed, I haven't seen him in years and the first time I do all we talk about is Morgan? "So, what have you been doing with yourself for the last five years?" I asked, purposely steering the conversation away from my sister. Hunter flashed me one of his 100 watt grins, a lock of blonde hair falling in his eyes making him look angelic. "I just gradated from medical school last year" he told me, obviously proud of himself, "I'm starting my first year of residency" I smiled too, "Wow, good for you, Dr. Niall" I said with a wink. He chucked and then asked, "What about you, what have you been up to?"
"I been doing a little of this and that" I said vaguely, "I'm going to NYU, but my majors still undeclared. It's driving my parents crazy" I giggled, "But I have been doing a bit of writing, I'm trying to get something published." I said, feeling very unaccomplished and for the first time since high school a little guilty for being so aimless and lackadaisical about life.
"You look so different" Hunter commented, looking into my eyes. I chewed on my lower lip wondering how I should react to that before asking him, "Is that a compliment? Because that could really go either way" Hunter laughed, "No, no it's definitely a compliment, not that you weren't pretty before, but.you're a woman now." He said, "I still remember you as that blonde little 14 year old girl" "I haven't been that girl for a lot of years" I told him honestly, twirling a piece of auburn hair around my finger, a nervous habit of mine. "I've grown up" I told him, "I'm 19 now" For a second our eyes locked and I thought he might kiss me, but he just nodded and looked away again. "Want to get some coffee?" he asked, "Since we're already in a coffee house and all" I laughed, "I thought you were more of a tea kind of guy" I told him, eyeing him curiously, "And where did that British accent of yours go?" I asked realizing there was only a hint of it left in his voice now. "It's called living in New York for six years" he replied, "And I've learned to like coffee" "So you've been Americanized" I teased. "It's about time" He blushed which made me smile since I could never remember him being the bashful type.
I looked at my watch and swore, "Damn it! I really have to get going." I told him regretfully, "I told Morgan I'd watch Moira tonight while she went to a doctor's appointment" I frowned thinking how the subject of Morgan was coming up again. Hunter looked concerned, "A doctor's appointment?" he echoed, "Is she alright?" "Yeah, it's just a routine thing for her pregnancy" I told him, "She's fine."
I started to walk away, but something brought me back to his side, "We could talk sometime, you know, catch up on things" I said lamely, "And besides, you still owe me that cup of coffee" I joked, taking a pen out of my purse and uncapping it, looking around for a piece of paper for a second before taking his arm and pushing the sleeve of his sweater up, writing my phone number on his skin. I held his hand in mine for a second before dropping it and putting the pen back in my purse. "So, I'll see you later then" I said, walking out, a definite spring in my step.
I glanced back over my should discreetly as I walked out of the coffee house and saw Hunter, mouth a gape, the sleeve of his sweater still pulled up as he looked astounded, staring after me. I smiled to myself, looks like I amazed him, I thought, I guess Morgan was never that forward.
