Tada! Here we go with Chapter 2 :D I hope you like it!
When Will was all alone in his room, laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, he was restless. He was so tired, but couldn`t sleep. His thoughts were still at the conversation with Magnus. Repeatedly her injured look appeared in his mind's eye. Again and again he asked himself why he just never shut up at the right time. It felt like hours later, when got up again.
What now? Normally he would go to the kitchen and make himself a cup of hot milk with honey, but he has no idea where the kitchen is to be found.
"Well, I will find the kitchen already, can`t be that hard." He said to himself and put some clothes on. From the hallway he could go in three directions. Well this I call a good start, he thought. He chose the right path first and started walking. He passed only two doors, the library and Mangnus` office. He just wanted to turn around, when he saw a third door. Through the gap at the bottom, he could see a faint light. He thought about knocking and asking for the way to the kitchen, but since it must be the middle of the night, it could only be Magnus`s room. And she was the only person, he don`t want to meet right now. So he turned around and took the straight gangway next. In this corridor, have to be the bedrooms of the others, because behind one door he could hear Henry snoozing very loudly. I will tease him with that tomorrow, he thought happily. So he got back again and took the last, the left path, now. He found the Multimedia Room and a gigantic hoard stock, with everything in an empty stomach could wish for. The last room he found, was finally the kitchen.
He sighed in relief when he entered and immediately froze to stone, when he saw who was already in the kitchen. Helen Magnus. A pretty tousled Helen Magnus. A rather scantily clad Helen Magnus. And a Helen Magnus who had not yet noticed him to his great astonishment. Well, she stood with her back to him, which he was very grateful for, but normally she always knew immediately when and who entered the room. He often wonders whether she had a second administration, beyond their longevity. Something like reading minds or a supernatural instinct.
He observed her for a long moment. She was in front of the window and looked out in the dark, while drinking her tea. He smiled at the view. He had missed seeing her with a cup of tea in her hands. He was just thinking whether simply sneak away again, or if he should become noticeable, when she took off this decision.
"I don`t bite Will. If you want, there is some tea left in the pot, but I guess you rather take hot milk with honey, right?" So she did notice him! How could he have thought just a millisecond that she not. Just as it should not surprise him, that she knows, he is always drinks hot milk with honey in the evening.
"Ahm, yes, because of the milk with honey I'm here. Wasn`t that easy to find the kitchen. But if you
Want to be alone, I can just leave again. I think after that long walk I can even sleep without the milk. Ok, I will just leave. Sorry for the disturbance." He rattled everything down in one go, turned around and was about to storm out of the kitchen, when he heard her soft voice: "That's silly Will. Can`t we just sit together like before and enjoy each other's company? At least for now?" She said almost pleadingly and turned to face him. This was one of the few moments, where she allows him to look behind the facade of the strong, confident and intelligent woman, she was. They she sometimes was just a normal person like everyone else. Just a normal, beautiful and sexy woman. God an how sexy she was! The blue satin nightgown shows way more naked skin then it covers. Through the blue nightgown, her blue eyes shone even more. But that was not what drew on his attention primarily.
It were much more the interminably long legs, which were uncovered until just below her butt and the revealing décolleté, which showed too much of her bosom. His inner man was now everything but tired.
She must have seen his gaze, because she walked up to the small couch in the corner of the dining area, put a blanket over her legs and said: "Please Will, just for a little while."
He sat next to her and answered: Can you still enjoy my company? After All I said earlier?"
It didn`t dare to look into her eyes. He didn`t want to see that she was still sad and hurt. He never could handle it well, when she is not ok. If he is all honest to himself, just for a second, she is his sore spot. He can handle being hurt and wounded himself, but when it comes to her, this is a whole other story. And now he can just blame himself for all this mess.
He noticed how she moved, but didn`t raise his head. She puts her hand under his chin and lifted it, until he couldn`t do other than to look at her. She looked directly into his eyes and said:
"Will, just because we had an argument, doesn`t mean that I don`t enjoy your company. I rather appreciate it, that you're always honest with me, even if you are sometimes a bit impulsive. "
Now she smiled her alluring, teasing Magnus smile again. How much he missed that. He wished that he could just kiss her. But before he could spin his thoughts further, she continued: "I know that I'm not completely innocent in this situation. If I had inaugurated you from the start, we wouldn`t have had a reason to fight. I haven't taken this condition serious, and I'm very sorry for that." All the time she had looked him in the eyes, but now she looked down at her lap, where she held her empty cup.
His response was calmly and rationally. He was too tired for a lot of emotion. "I think in the future we must both give more effort on it, when we want it to work. I've never felt as much at home anywhere else, never felt so belonging. Tomorrow, I will talk to Abby and leave her. It wouldn`t be fair to lie to her. She deserves better." He ran his hands through his hair and sighed. "Why has live always to be so complicated?"
When she looked at him now, he could see her emotions clearly. There was guilt, relief and even joy to see. What should he think of it?
"I'm honestly sorry, that your relationships never seem to be under a lucky star. I wish you could live a normal life without all the drama, but I'm afraid I can´t let you go anymore. I've gotten quite a bit used to have you around."
They looked each other deep in the eyes, as if they could see their emotions and thoughts in them. A quick shiver ran through her and she broke eye contact. He could see her erected nipples through the thin fabric. Oh God, I'm not going to get some sleep tonight. He thought and nearly jumped up from the couch. "I think it`s time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow will be a long day. Meeting 9 o`clock at your office, as always?" He asked, already halfway to the door.
"Will, wait!" He turned around and saw her approaching to him. He swallowed and looked nervously at the floor. If he would look at her right now, he couldn't hold back anymore, or don`t know whether he still wanted to hold back. When she was directly in front of him, she put her hand on his upper arm.
"Will, please, look at me." Her voice was soft and pleading. When he looked up he saw her smiling. "I want that it works, too. To be all honest with you, although I`m sorry about pulling you in my complicated live, I´m not sorry about Abby. And I don`t say that, because it will be much easier thereby." As she said the last sentence she came ever closer and her voice took on a darker tone.
He stared at her, mesmerized. He could feel her breasts pressed against him and she clearly has to feel his 'small' Will. He felt like a teenager again, no control over his physical reactions. He was embarrassed, but he couldn`t move. Their faces were only inches apart. She moved her head and kissed him slowly on the cheek. He closed his eyes and blew out his breath. He hadn`t even noticed that he had stopped breathing. The spot where she had kissed him was warm and he could still feel her lips, when she was already a step away from him. He let his eyes closed and heard her words, still unable to move. "Good night Will and sweet dreams." With that, she left him. At the door, she paused again and said: "Oh, yes, 9 o`clock in my office for the weekly meeting. Don`t be late William."
He could hear her teasing, flirtatious smile.
Then she was gone and he could move again. He let himself time with the return. His mind is racing. What means all that? Does she feel something for him? Does she wants to annoy him, to pay back?
No, she wouldn't do that, or? There was no way he would sleep that night. He was way too confused.
Maybe he should go and have a cold shower before he thinks about all this and what he wants to say to Abby. He felt bad because of Abby, but he was now surer than ever, that there is just one woman who could satisfy his inner desire. And that was definitely not Abby.
I think it's a good moment to end this chapter. I hope that it won`t take me too long, till I upload the next one. I`ll also try to get more into the M Rating ;). Please tell me what you think so far! Hanna xoxo
