Sorry for the very long wait everyone, I've been really busy with work and I haven't felt like typing this. But in my defense I've had half of this typed. So I hope you all like this chapter.
Anna's body is frozen as she stares at the handsome man, his long auburn hair is in a short ponytail brushing pass his shoulders as he leans down and kisses the blonde women from the office meeting. Both of whom are on the table half naked. The women's skirt is pushed up around her thighs as her coat and shirt are off, leaving her in her plain white bra. The man on top of her is in the same position, his shirt is off and leaving him in his black trousers. His tanned and well muscled chest and arms are making her weak, mostly because she's never met such an attractive man in her life.
As Anna is about to make her presence known, she realizes the man is staring and grinning at her. She knows she should be furious for the way he's gazing at her and look away, but she can't. Probably because the man is wearing sunglasses in doors.
"Can Remy 'elp y' chere?" Anna snaps out of her trance as she hears the man's Cajun voice.
"Um..well..."
"Spit it out." Anna glares at the women beneath the man. Her make up is smeared and the straps of her bra are hanging off her shoulders.
"Gwen, be bon."
"Yes well, Ah left mah brief case 'ere."
"Dis one chere?" The man gets off of Gwen and picks up a black brief case. Anna nods and he walks towards her and holds it out to her.
"Tahnks." Anna takes it and heads to the door.
"Welcome cherie." Anna glances back at the gorgeous man and glares daggers at him, while he just gives her a dashing smirk and a stupid bow.
Finally work is over and Anna can go home, well Wanda's home. Even though she walked in on that woman, Gwen and that arrogant, egotistical, handsome man, Remy, having or almost having sex; she felt good. But since then nothing bad has happened. Her secretary gave her all the company's receipts and she got right to work calculating every one of them. Anna even informed Jean Luc that they had actually been over paying their partners, so now they'll be getting over ten thousand dollars with interest.
Even thou this all happened a mere hour ago, the whole company knows about her accomplishment and she knows she should be proud as she hears everyone say 'For someone her age, she sure is good.' and 'She's perfect, beauty and brains. Wonder if she's single?' As Anna hears the compliments she shakes her head, because in her mind she's no where near perfect. But they'll never know, because she won't let them. Only two people here know who she is and she intends to keep it that way.
Once Anna arrived at her car she decided to go home, since she's too tired to head to the clinic and see if there's part time opening. She rubs the sleepiness out of her eyes as she glazes at the car clock, it reads twenty to seven. Chrissy should be getting ready for bed and if she doesn't get there soon she won't be able to put her to sleep herself. But at least she doesn't have to worry about Chrissy if she's with Wanda or John, they wouldn't hurt her; unlike Damien.
"Gawd, even wehn Ah'm no' 'round 'im, taht monstah is on meh mind." With the mere thought of her soon to be ex husband makes Rogue cringe in pain, as she grasps her left side below her rib cage. That horrible memory surfaces its self in Anna's mind. That dismaying day left Anna with two choices, let him kill her and her baby or escape and save their lives.
Anna turns her car on and leaves LeBeau Enterprise and gets on the free way. Once Anna arrives back at Wanda's, she gets her brief case and heads in. The lights are still on of course and the tv is pretty loud with crashes and other strange noises. So when Anna opened the door her eyes are widen as she sees Chrissy and John watching cartoons. Both of the are laying on their stomachs laughing their heads off as one of the bad guys gets blown up.
Finally they realize they're not alone and turn to Anna. Who is still standing in the door way gaping at them.
"Momma!" Anna bends down and picks up Chrissy as she runs towards her "Ah had teh bes' day evah momma. Mrs. Summahs soo nahce ta meh, we all played games and we ate and we took nappies and drawed." As Chrissy tells her mom about her day, Anna takes her into the kitchen, where she finds Wanda cooking.
The room is white with light blue counters taking most of the space. Next to the door to Anna and Chrissy's room is the refrigerator and microwave oven. On the other side of the kitchen area is the stove and sink. In the middle of the kitchen is an island covered with ingredients for some type of soup.
"Hey Wanda, watcha makin'?" Wanda turns from the stove and looks at Anna, then turns back.
"Tomorrow's dinner, tonight's is in the microwave oven for you, the rest of us ate." Anna nods her head and she puts Chrissy down and heads to the white microwave oven to her right. Anna removes the roast beef from the small oven since it's still warm enough to eat as is.
"So, why are ya makin' tomorrow's dinner right now?" Anna puts a spoon full of mashed potatoes in her mouth.
"John and I are meeting an old friend, he arrived in town last night from New Orleans. He's having a bit of a...rough time, you see his fiancee cheated on him with some french dude in Paris a week before their wedding." Anna takes a sharp breath and shakes her head sadly, since she knows how it feels to be cheated on.
"Well at leas' he found ou' before the "Ah do's." Now it's Wanda's turn to nod her head.
"Anyway, we're gonna be with him probably most of the day and I'll be too tired to cook anything than." Suddenly Wanda remembers Anna's job. "So, what's your job?" Anna looks up from her now half a plate of roast beef and mashed potatoes.
"Ah'm an accountant at LeBeau Enterprise." Wanda raises an eyebrow curiously at her friend.
"You are? That's great Anna, so have you meet any of the LeBeaus?" Anna nods her head as she puts the empty plate in the sink.
"Yeah, Ah've known Henri LeBeau for years et Ah met his fat'er tihs mornin'." Wanda was about to ask if she's met Remy, but decided against it. Maybe John and her will introduce them tomorrow sometime.
"Did you see Scott?" Anna nods her head as she shuffles back a yawn. "Did you meet Ororo, Hank or Charles?" Now it's Anna's turn to raise her eyebrow "White haired lady, guy with blueish hair and bald older guy?" Anna nods as her mouth makes an 'O' shape. "They're really nice and so is James, but I hate that one guy. Oh and I despise Gwen, she's such a" Wanda checks to make sure Chrissy isn't around. "Bitch."
"Wait Gwen, blonde hair and brown eyes. Total whore?" Wanda laughs a bit as she nods. "Yeah Ah met 'er, Ah forgot mah suitcase in teh room Ah met Mr. LeBeau et Ah wen' back ta get it. But instead of findin' an empty room, Ah find 'er et a half naked man on teh table." Suddenly the name 'Remy' screams in Wanda's head, but she shakes it off. Hoping it was another guy. "Teh loser talks in t'ird person Wanda, he mus' be crazy." 'Damn it!' curses Wanda mentally, now she'll have to redeem the dumbass to Anna. Or maybe she'll make John do it, Remy is more his friend then hers.
"Maybe he thinks it's sexy?" Anna looks at Wanda as if she's crazy "Or maybe the women he talks to really like it when he does that?" Anna rolls her eyes as she walks to the living room door and calls Chrissy so they can go to bed.
"Ya know Wanda, if Ah didn' know any bettah Ah'd tahnk ya knew tihs guy et is tryin' ta set meh up." Wanda shakes her head at Anna "But ya would nevah do taht ta meh, besides how do ya know 'bout everyone there?" Wanda shrugs her shoulders.
"Daddy dearest and LeBeau have been workin' together for sometime now. So he of course expected me and Pietro to know and get along with him and his staff, plus Scott introduce us to most of them." Anna yawns as she closes her eyes and is about to fall asleep when Chrissy comes threw the door and hugs Anna's legs.
"Ready ta go ta bed Chris?" Chrissy nods her head as Anna picks her up and head to bed. "Nig't Wanda, oh and ya 'ave ye' ta show mah teh ring John gave ya." she calls not looking back.
"Night Anna, I'll show you it sometime tomorrow." Calls Wanda as she puts the soup in the refrigerator and heads to bed, where John is most likely waiting for her.
So how was it? Ya like it? Hate it?
