Thank you to my reviewers! This is my first story and you guys just made me feel great! Thanks a bunch.. keep reviewing!
Mia woke up with a horrendous headache the next morning. As she rubbed her eyes, she groaned, thinking about the amazing dreams she'd been having. She looked around her room quietly taking inventory. Accepting that everything was in place, she rolled over and was about to go back to sleep, but a little black owl was sitting on her book case. At first she was alarmed, but she recognized him from the night before as Dray's owl.
Finding the courage to get out of bed, she walked over to the owl and started to pet him affectionately. She gently took the letter from him and made her way back to bed, where it was still comfortable. She opened the letter and started reading.
Mia,
You are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for taking a chance on me, you won't regret it. I'm working until 8pm. You should come to the shop and surprise me. Maybe I'll talk you into some piercings. I know a couple of places that are amazing to pierce. Okay, maybe no piercings, but at least come give me some lovin.
Dray
She smiled at the letter, but then thought of where Dray's mind had been when he suggested a couple of piercings and grimaced at how much they would hurt. She laughed at herself and made her way to the bathroom. She was just about to close the door when Rogue started to hoot and flap his wings. She walked back over to him, put him on her shoulder, and walked into the bathroom and out a door on the opposite side. This new door would take her out to the backyard, right behind a large oak tree. The bird nibbled her ear before he took off and flew towards the sun.
She walked back to the bathroom and started getting ready for the day.
Mia Apparated into the shop about an hour after she woke up. She had landed in the back and started walking towards all the noise. She entered a little hallway and could hear Dray talking to someone who was presumably a client. She peeked around the corner and saw him leaning over a really beautiful girl who was getting angel wings put on her back. The girl had no shirt on; the only thing covering her bare chest was the chair that she was sitting backwards on.
Mia looked severely depress. She just sat there watching as Dray tried to make the "naked girl" feel comfortable, just like he did with her. He was laughing and she was smiling. Mia thought her heart was going to break right then and there. She walked a little further in and sat on the couch in the parlor. Before she knew it Rogue was sitting on her shoulder. She walked over to the desk and asked the man for a piece of paper and a quill. When she got what she needed, she sat down and started writing.
Dray,
Have fun with "naked girl" in your chair there. I was here to surprise you but I guess I was the one who was surprised. Rogue likes me, he can find me if you feel the need to write back.
Mia
She gave the note to Rogue and Apparated outside. She started walking down the street and realized that she was at the end of Diagon Alley. There was Madam Malkins, Flourish and Blotts, and the Three Broomsticks. She walked in and sat at the bar. Madam Rosmerta came over and placed a butterbeer on the counter. "Thank you," Mia said, and practically drowned herself in it. Rosmerta looked at her and said, "Rough night, dear?" and Mia laughed. "No, ma'am. Rough morning." They both laughed a little and Madam Rosmerta went back to helping her other customers. Mia finished her beer, left some money on the counter, and went to the bookstore. She started browsing all the covers in the non-fiction section, pulled out a book on curses, and sat down in a chintz chair in the corner of the second floor. The book was called, "Hexes for your ex's" and that was all Mia needed to know before she sat and immediately started reading.
Dray saw Rogue sweep in and settle on the perch next to the counter. Dray noticed the parchment in his talons but he was too busy to reply right away. The wings were done but the girl decided she wanted a halo right above them, and it took him a little while to get the mixture of the colors the right way.
So thirty minutes later Dray was finished. The "naked girl" got up and put her clothes back on. Dray walked her to the front of the store and had her pay the guy at the desk. He went back into the ink room and saw Rogue and it finally clicked that Mia had probably written him back. He read the letters once, the once again before dropping it and running out of the shop.
'If I were her, where the hell would I go?' he thought to himself. A minute later he was off and running to the bookstore.
He shot into the bookstore like a bat out of hell. He looked all around and was about to give up all hope when he saw her sitting on the second floor. 'When did they open the second floor?' he though as he climbed the stairs.
He saw her sitting on a tiny little chair reading a book that was way too big to be sitting on her petite lap. Looking at the cover of the book, he knew in a second that she was pissed. What other reason would she have for reading a book like "Hexes for Your Ex's"?
She noticed him coming up the stairs. He sat down next to her and started huffing and puffing. "So… sorry… nothing… she… twelve… extra… work… sorry…" he tried saying with no breath.
"Take a minute, calm down, and try again." Mia said. She was a very patient person accept when it came to jealousy, but she had all the time in the world for an explanation. He took a couple of seconds and began to explain. "I'm sorry you got the wrong impression," he said, and he reached over and placed his hand on hers. "She is my client. She wanted angel wings on her back, but when I was doing it she decided that she wanted a halo too. So I had to adjust her like that so the spell would stay on her back." Mia let a deep breath that she didn't realize she was holding escape her. "I just remembered how yesterday went, and I thought… I thought that maybe that's just what you did to get tips or something," she said, a tear streaking down her face. He reached up and wiped it away and began to cradle her in his arms. "No… shhh… I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking that it would look bad."
She sat up and looked at him. "I thought that you were mad at me for not… well… you know… last night. I saw you on top of her and I got the wrong impression. I'm sorry." Mia looked about ready to break. She looked so sad. He pulled her out of the chair and placed his arms around her. She collapsed right then and there from all the emotion she was feeling. He just held her and whispered that he was sorry and he'd never do that to her.
When she was alright to stand on her own again, she looked up at him, smiled, and said, "Forget this ever happened?' and he laughed and said, "Most definitely." They walked back down the stairs and he said, "What were you going to do with that book?" Mia laughed at him, a tiny smirk forming on her lips. "For starters, if I found out you were with her, I'd have turned her little tattoo into a wing-shaped line of blisters on her ass. When she sat down they'd burst and cover her with puss." He laughed and prayed that he'd never be on her bad side.
After their little escapade that morning, Dray and Mia walked back to Think Ink. Dray had a couple of clients for that morning, so Mia just sat next to him and watched. It was an amazing thing to see. Dray was truly an artist. He was practically drawing every tattoo freehand, whispering the spells to make them move, and making the people feel like they were safe. It was very tricky, but he was a pro. Mia was proud of him.
She stayed with him until about three o'clock, because her parents would be home at four and she didn't want them to know she wasn't around. They'd probably beat her senseless if they found her. He walked her to the back room and she was about to say goodbye when he pushed her up against the wall. Before she could even ask what was going on, his lips were attacking hers, causing her body to involuntarily make noises she didn't even know she could.
Okay what do you think? Is it too early for a sex scene? I kinda want to write one, but I don't know if it's a little early in the plot. Let me know by clicking the beautiful blue button at the bottom. 3 Val
