《Mrs. Maximoff》Thirteen

Advertisement

Talking with River and Ezra helped me clear my head.

I didn't know if I liked Wanda, hell, I barely knew her. And everything that I knew about her, she didn't even tell me herself.

I still had to talk to Morgan, but getting it out made me feel better, so I was going to take it slow this time.

I mean, it's not like before. It's not just Morgan and I against the world anymore.

I know they were spending the past few days with Jules and they were barely here at our apartment.

I was happy for them, they deserved it more than anyone.

Yes, they are a little piece of shit, but I still love them.

I definitely felt happier than yesterday, and getting ready wasn't as dull as usual this morning.

I put on my favorite songs and got ready while singing them, screaming at the top of my lungs.

Thankfully Morgan wasn't here, otherwise, they would have kicked my ass, and also out of the apartment.

I was in the shower, all in my feelings, when I heard someone knock on the door.

Shit.

I quickly put my robe on and went to open the door, only to find the neighbors looking at me, I could tell they were pretty annoyed.

"Could you-"

"Yes, I'll keep it down. Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop." I apologized and closed the door behind me, I didn't really care that I didn't even say goodbye, it was getting kind of late and I couldn't risk wasting any second.

I put the music back on, this time a little quieter so that I wouldn't be tempted to scream the lyrics to any song that came on.

I already picked out my outfit for the day and it was a plain white shirt with black pants and shoes, meanwhile, for my hair, I just decided to put it in a braid.

I left the apartment at seven-thirty and took the stairs to find Stewart waiting for me, like almost every morning.

"Good morning, Y/N. How are you today?"

"I'm okay, Stewart! What about you?"

"Same old, same old."

As always, the ride was mostly quiet, just a couple of jokes here and there when we wanted to.

Stewart parked just outside of Oleg Resources and so kindly opened the door for me. He was about to drive off when I stopped him.

"Stewart?"

"Yes, Y/N?"

"Have you ever had any trouble understanding if you liked someone?" He was taken aback by my question, but he didn't ask me the reason behind it and I was grateful to him for that.

"Not that I recall. Have you?"

"Kind of, I guess it just takes time."

"Bullshit." It was the first time I heard Stewart swear, and it kind of shocked him, making him laugh.

"Time won't tell, actions and words will, Y/N. Pay attention to the signs." And with that, he drove off.

What was it with people in my life and dramatic exits?

I made my way into the building and greeted the people at the reception, they are always very nice to me, they've helped me quite a lot these past days with getting used to how it is here.

I took the elevator, and just as its doors were closing, I saw Wanda get in.

"Good morning, Mrs. Maximoff."

"Wanda."

"We're at work."

"So? I'm the boss. Call me Wanda."

"Okay then. Good morning, Wanda."

"Good morning, Y/N. Do you mind coming into my office before you start work?"

"Of course." I saw her nod and finally click on the last button of the tab.

Once we reached the twentieth floor we both walked through the hall, getting a few weird glances from the staff on that floor, but Wanda ignored them.

She opened the door to her office and signaled for me to take a seat, like every time I was there.

"May I ask what's the reason behind this sudden meeting thing?" I muttered, not leaving my eyes off of her.

"I have a work trip the upcoming week."

"Sounds fun."

"I assure you they are not." I could swear she almost laughed.

"Wait, is this the part where you ask me to take over for you?"

That definitely made her laugh.

I never thought that a sound I had never heard before, could be so warming.

"No Y/N, not yet at least. You still need some experience."

"Oh thank God, 'cause I would have run out of this room by now."

It felt good. I spent the whole night telling myself to just be natural around her, to try my best not to freeze, and it was working.

She wasn't Mrs. Maximoff, she was Wanda.

I had Wanda in front of me, and I liked her.

I liked her outfit today, I liked how she put her hair into a ponytail and I liked her laugh.

But mostly her eyes.

I really liked her eyes.

"Well, I was saying...they want me to bring one of my new journalists."

"I can go get Jules if you wa-" I tried to speak, but she cut me off before I could continue.

"No, Y/N. I wanted to bring you if you're okay with it."

I couldn't quite process what she had just said.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I wanted to bring you with me." She smiled at me.

"I-"

"Listen, Y/N, I'm sorry if I'm asking too much...it definitely is too much isn't it? What was I thinking? I treated you like that and then just expect for you to say yes-"

"Wanda-"

"I probably look ridiculous right now. I'm so sorr-"

"Wanda!" I raised my voice and tried my best to make it sound like hers the first time we met, and it worked, because Wanda had stopped rambling and she was looking at me.

"Woah, can I be a CEO with that voice?"

"Yeah, maybe work on the roughness a little bit more." She laughed.

"I'll come with you, Wanda."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"This is your moment, Y/N."

What. Did. I. Just. Get. Myself. Into.
