1192 Words
“A little to the left….more left...left…..your other left….ah yes right there...right there right there don’t..move...go back...ugh yes right there…” Mags reaches down and grabs Duke’s hair to angle him better as he desperately searches for her c******s. Mags is laid back against her pillows, and Duke hanging halfway off the bed struggles to stay in position.
“Does that feel good baby?” Duke asks, looking up.
Mags looks down, sighs, rolls her eyes, and pulls Duke up to come lay by her, “we’ll keep practicing.”
Duke lays down next to her, and drapes his arm over Mags, “Mags, have you thought any more about my question?”
Mags, who is staring at the ceiling avoiding his intense eye contact, “what question?”
“If you would be my girlfriend! I asked you last week!”
“Oh, that question.” Mags adjusts to laying on her side, facing Duke.
“What’s wrong with what we have right now?” Mags asks, looking up at Duke through her eyelashes and caressing his arm.
“What we have now is great, but I want more. I have feelings for you Mags. We could be so great together.”
Mags nods unconvincingly, “We’re just so perfect like we are. We’re having fun right?”
Duke nods eagerly in agreement.
“So why ruin that? This works for me. I like us how we are now.”
Buzz buzz buzz. Mags jumps out of bed and grabs her phone off the nightstand.
“Oh babe, don’t answer your phone, we’re spending time together!” Duke protests.
“It’s Helena! Time to go. Out out.” Mags rushes Duke out of the room, as he attempts to kiss her goodbye, Mags closes her door.
“Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!” Mags answers the phone, connecting to the video of Helena sitting outside, “are you in your swimsuit? Are you at a pool?!”
Helena laughs, “yes! They have a really nice pool here. I miss you! How are you? What have I missed?”
“Literally nothing. Duke just left. He wants us to take our relationship to the ‘next level’. I can’t be in a relationship with someone who can’t find my c******s, I just can’t. We’ve had s*x so many times, and he still can’t find. Helena, please come home, I can’t survive without you.” She whines.
“You’ll do fine, just remember the trash goes out on Tuesdays. What else has happened in the last 24 hours?”
“The intern we were supposed to get bailed, but Jonas says he has someone to fill in, I’m meeting them in an hour. Not like we’re ever super busy, but we do have a few people visiting this week, an extra hand will be nice. Hmmm, the new Alpha--ex-Alpha--Apollo has set up quarters somewhere in the West wing. I haven’t seen him at all though. Oh you know those two vampire admins, there’s the really tall one with red hair and then the shorter brunette who always wears her hair in a beehive? I heard them gossiping about Jonas earlier, apparently he threw a tantrum and knocked a bunch of stuff off his desk. No idea why, but Jonas seems to be losing it.”
“That’s weird, I’ve never seen him lose his temper before.”
“Me neither. I couldn’t really hear them, they were just walking past and I caught a bit. Other than that, it’s just the same old Daae. How are you? How is the house? Tell me everything!”
“So far it’s been pretty good! It’s really big and beautiful,” Helena flips her phone camera to show Mags the back of the house, and backyard, “and behind me is the little cottage I’m staying at. It’s really nice, and the house manager Ingrid is such a good cook and has been so welcoming. Everyone’s been friendly, so far it hasn’t been as terrible as I thought. I still miss home though.”
“And what about this new Alpha? The sister?”
“I haven’t met her yet,” Helena flashes back to her dream the night before and clears her throat, “um she’s out of town for the weekend, so is everyone actually. Camping trip. But I guess Artemis is on pack business and will be back Sunday. So I have the house to myself for the weekend.”
“What sort of pack business?”
“No idea, they didn’t tell me. I’m not sure they really know what to do with me here, I mean I’m not even sure what I’m doing here. The pack meets every Sunday, so she’ll be back for that. I’ll meet her then.”
“Interesting. It’s weird she wouldn’t be there, like you’re from the Daae. What could be more important?” Mags shrugs and keeps going, “I can’t wait to hear what she’s like. I bet she’s hot.”
Helena twitches, “What? Why? What makes you say that?”
Mags laughs, “Because Alphas are always hot! How many times do I have to tell you! Anyone there who you could...” Mags wiggles her eyebrows, “...you know...”
“I’m here for work, hooking up with someone would be...unprofessional.”
“I hook up with Duke while working all the time. You need to have fun! And six months without any? That’s way too long, even for you. When was the last time you got laid? Oooooh it was Katerina right? The werewolf from Moscow on pilgrimage.”
“No! That was 7 months ago! I guess it would have been…” A long pause followed.
“Holy s**t it was totally Katerina. Oh my god Helena, you haven’t been f****d in a whole ass seven months!”
Helena rolls her eyes, “some of us receive satisfaction from other things, it’s not all about sex.”
“Only people who aren’t having good s*x say that. I bet you five dollars you have s*x with someone there. I bet you ten dollars that you have sex...with Artemis!”
Helena chokes on air and coughs a little, “Ok Mags, I’m hanging up now. I’m taking a dip in this huge empty amazing pool, and you can be stuck there with Duke talking about your feelings!”
“You biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch! Byeeee love you!” Mags waves bye and disconnects.
