Snobby Secretaries are a pain, a roommate that receives joy out of your frustrations is irritating, and recently I found out that I don't care for a certain red imp. On top of all that, I need to find a dress for a party. I better make some phone calls. Friends are a must need for shopping.

It's been one month since I've moved in with Soul. I've gotten use to it all in a quick amount of time. Surprisingly Soul is not that hard to live with. He doesn't go through my stuff or wear my clothes. Not that he wants to. I laugh at the thought.

I do most of the cleaning. I was please to find out that Soul isn't much of a slob. Also, I tend to do all of the cooking. The first night that Soul cooked, it was…interesting. I remember when he mumbled saying, "I don't make anything fancy. I usually only eat take-out." My plate had resembled something from a horror film. We designated take-out for dinner whenever I had to work late.

I open the fridge. Hmmm…I need to go buy some more milk. I held up the nearly empty container.

"Ahh!...Dang it!" A frustrated voice yells.

I watch as Soul runs out of his room. He was wearing a suit with red stripes and a matching tie hung loosely around his neck. It's been a while since I've seen him dressed up. The last time was when he surprised me at work.

"Dang it! I'm going to be late." Soul quickly tries to tighten his tie. He always tended to sleep in often.

"What are you rushing for? You're never up this early." I say as the toaster dings.

"I have an important meeting with a corporation that I've been trying to oust buy for months now." He grabs a piece of toast, "I think that today I'll finally close the deal." He starts to munch on the toast.

"I'm sure that everything will go well." I say as I walk up to him.

"I just hope that the stupid imp doesn't show up." Soul grumbles. He pauses as I grab his tie to straighten it.

"You'll do fine." I smile up at him in encouragement. I didn't realize how close our proximity was until I notice how his eyes seem to reflect myself in them. Such a brilliant red color…I could sometimes feel myself being drawn to them. I was probably having one of those moments right now.

I swear that Soul's face was leaning in when his phone went off. "Damnmit." He curses. I blink as I bring myself out of a daze.

"Yeah I'm on my way." Soul says irritated and shuts his phone. "I got to go."

I nod quickly, "Yeah, I'll see you later." Soul stares intently at me for a moment before walking out the door.

I exhale as soon as I was alone. What just happened? I think to myself as I grab the other piece of toast. I reach for a butter knife when I notice that Soul had left his lunch.

I think back to when I first started making him lunch. We had a bunch of leftovers one night and it seemed like a waste to throw it out. I usually take leftovers to work or to collage with me. So the next morning I handed Soul a bag saying that he could eat it later for lunch if he wanted. He gave me a weird look. I quickly explained how we had a lot of leftovers and that I hated to waste food. Soul shrugged as he grabbed the bag and said, "Thanks."

Later that night, I decided to ask if he wanted me to make him lunch whenever I did for myself. I recall his words being, "I don't mind if you bother yourself making me lunch." I just rolled my eyes and smiled. He was always trying to play it cool.

I continue to stare at the forgotten lunch. I've never been to Soul's work before…and I do need to go and pick up some milk…

What idiot plans a meeting on a Sunday? I sigh. At least the agreement closed with no complications. This should expand our recording business offices by 10%. Most people would be thrilled at this piece of news, but right now I'm just thinking about how I have to order out for lunch. Maka had finally bought some raw fish. I know that she doesn't care for it, but I enjoy it greatly. Of course, I had to forget my lunch when I was looking forward to it the most today.

I continue to walk towards the entrance. "Can't you please just page him and tell him that I'm here?" I stop as I notice Maka looking annoyed at the front desk secretary.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Unless you have an appointment you cannot see him." The dark haired secretary responded in a bored voice while filing her nails.

Maka rubs her forehead in agitation, "I promise you that he won't mind seeing me. It'll only take a few minutes."

The receptionist's tone become tight, "Unless you're a member of the Evan's family, I'm not obligated to contact Mr. Evan."

I wondered how long these two have been going at each other. I watch as the short-haired brunette's smile becomes stuck-up. Maka bites her lip angrily at the service that she is receiving. I could tell that she was fighting herself about something.

Finally Maka breathes out, straightens up her stance, and looks at the secretary in the eyes. "Please inform Mr. Evan that his wife is here to see him."

I cover my mouth to keep from laughing. I couldn't believe that Maka had just said that. The secretary's face was pale.

"I-I wasn't aware that Mr. Evan's was married." The receptionist stutters. Maka's face becomes smug. I knew that she was pleased at the receptionist's sudden meek attitude. That lady had no idea that the skinny blond wearing snug jeans and a blue blouse was the Boss's wife.

My body was moving unconsciously towards the target in Maka's hand. My stomach grumble at how close its meal was. Maka was about to say something else to the secretary when in one swift move I wrapped my arm around waist, grabbed the lunch from her hand, and kissed her cheek. "Thanks Honey for bringing me my lunch."

I wanted to laugh again at how similar the shock on Maka's and the receptionist's face was. "Let's go to my office so that we can talk in private." I lead a stun Maka down the hall.

"Thanks Honey for bringing me my lunch." My mouth dropped in bewilderment. Soul's eyes were dancing, "Let's go to my office so that we can talk in private."

Once we were out of eyesight, I hissed at Soul, "What was that!"

Soul burst, no longer able to contain his laughter, "I could ask you the same thing!"

I could feel my face heat up, "You forgot your lunch and I was bringing it to you, but the receptionist was giving me nothing except problems."

"You sure are something, Maka." He says, "And thanks for bringing me my lunch." Soul plops a piece of salmon into his mouth.

"You're welcome." I mumble. His smiling face was too much at the moment. Then I remembered something, "Oh. How did the meeting go?"

"We signed the contract papers today. It's a closed deal." Soul says coolly.

"That's great, right?" I ask since he seemed so nonchalant about it.

Soul grins, "Yeah." I smile. He really pleased about it.

"Yes, it is great, young Miss."

Soul and I turn around. An imp with long arms was with us in the hall. "It's good to see you again, Soul." It said.

I could feel Soul tense up beside me. "What do you want?" His voice was sharp.

"Now Soul. You know that I'm just here to see how you are doing. Your family is always interested in what you are up to and lately it seems like a lot." The imp's smile was canny.

I didn't like it.

"Maka, my office is the 5th door on the left. Wait for me there." Soul said in a low voice.

Yeah as if I was going to leave. I shot him a look. Soul grits his teeth at me.

"Now, now. There is no need to glare at each other. The lovely lady can stay since she is part of the family. Am I correct?"

He knows.

Soul grabs my hand, "This is my wife, Maka."

The imp stares searchingly at both of us. I look at him and smile. I was not going to let his glaze unnerve me. After a moment passed, unknowingly, my mouth dropped and my eyes transitioned to a glare.

I really didn't care for him.

The imp notices and laughs, "An interesting one, isn't she Soul?"

Did he really just say that? I'm right here for Pete's sake! Soul didn't say anything, but I felt his grip tighten around my hand. I was doing the same thing.

The little devil continues when neither of us showed signs of playing his game. "The secretary was very helpful. She told me that you were busy having lunch with your wife. I bet that you could imagine my surprise, but it's not like we wouldn't have found out eventually. I'll be sure to inform your parents of the good news, though I'm sure that a lot of people will be hurt that they weren't invited to the wedding."

When he finished talking the red imp bowed and walked to the exit. We watch as the mini devil gets into the black vehicle and drives off. Soul finally breaks the silence, "Of course, he comes today! The one day that you happen to be here, Satan appears!" He was upset.

"Well it's not like I knew that he was coming." I retorted.

Soul sighs, "Yeah I know. It's just that…"

"Mr. Evans! There is a call for you on line 3." That receptionist has bad timing.

"I need to get back to work." His voice sounded weary.

"Yeah. I'll see you later tonight, right?" He nods and strolls down the hall, most likely to his office.

I show myself out of the fancy building and head down the street to Death Mart.

Man…today was such a hassle. I lost track of how many papers I had to sign. I turn the doorknob and walk into my apartment. Immediately I breathe in a nice smell. "Hmm…something smells good."

Maka looks at me from the kitchen with a smile, "I'm making curry for dinner. It should be done soon."

I nod and continue to walk towards my bedroom. I take my clothes off and changed into something lazy. I head to the living room and sit on the couch. I noticed the mail on the end table beside me. One particular envelope stood out. It was an invitation. I lean my head back on the couch and closed my eyes. It was just another party for all the big-wig people to gather and talk.

"Are you okay?"

I open my eyes into a whirl of green with a hint of concern. This morning flashed at me. With my fatigue forgotten, I grinned, "Make sure that you're free one month from tomorrow." Maka cocks her head above me confused, "Why?"

I stand up and head to the table with a plate of food waiting for yours truly. "Well my Dear Wife, we have a party to attend."

Maybe for once it won't be as boring.

A/N: I do plan on adding Kid and Blair into the story eventually. I just needed my plot to take off more. Thank you everyone for all of the reviews! They motivate me to write more often. ^_^

I do not own Soul eater or any manga/anime.
