The Fault in his Assasin

Chapter 5- My fault

Hello my lovelies. So sorry to keep you waiting for so very long but senior year had been...busy...

 I also finally got my permanent driver's license after 4 months of waiting. Plus, my puppy is a handful. I want to apologize to my best friend. I'm sorry you huge dork. I promised this chapter earlier and I lied. But...remember my laughs for your tiger scars.... XD

Ok! enough of my rambles, on with the story!

Susan opens the door and my heart stops.

"Oh..." I whisper, stepping down the last few stairs.

"Ah! Ms. Kidd...I had hoped to find you here. May I come in?" The man takes off his hat and smiles kindly.

Maggie nods and he stepped in. "May I speak to Ms. Kiss alone please?" He asks. Maggie looked to me for confirmation and I nodded stiffly, hand gripping my skirts. Susan led us to the private parlour, then left with Maggie.

As soon as the door closes, I turn and launch myself into the man's waiting arms. "Boss!" I say happily. I pull back after he hugs me tightly. "But what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to check on my girl. Is that not reason enough?" He chcukled. I smile but shift nervously. He reaches up and touches my hair. "Beautiful style...who did it?" He asks, a knowing look in his eyes.

"Urm...Maggie did. Just a while agon." I respond, carefully touching it myself.Something in Boss's eyes darkened and he hugged me once before leaving. I frowned and went back upstairs.

Maggie POV

Jo walkedinto my room and I jumped up from my seat at the window. "Who was that?"

She looked over at me and smiled. "One of my father's other friends..."

I nodded, coming closer and pulling her to sit on the bed. "What did he want?"

"He was just checking in on me."

I grinned and turned away, my mind now on what Jo had said erlier. "So...do you have an answer to my earlier question?"

She blushed, twisting her hands together as she looked down at her lap. "What question?"

I moved closer, cupping her face. "Don't act so innocent Jo...you are anything but. My question about whether you'll let me court you or not..." I brushed my lips lightly over hers.She sighed and leaned in.  

"Okay." She whisperes it so soft, I barely catch it.

"You're sure?" I ask, heart threatening to pound right out of my chest. I rest my hands on the bed on either side of her hips, pressing close.

"I'm sure!" She smiles and this time, she is the one to kiss me. 

I smile into the soft kiss and pull away. "Good. I wasn't going to take no for ananswer." We both laugh. "Let's go the Market! I saw some dress material that I must have...and we can spend the day together!" I pull the red-head to her feet and hand her her cloak. I pull on my own forest-green one over my rose gown. Once Jo has her red cloak firmly over her shoulders, I lead her out of my room. "Jeeves! A carraige to the market please!" I say to our couch man, standing on the steps to my manor. I pull on my lace gloves while we wait. I turn to hold Jo's hand and smile at her.

We climb into the carraige once it arrives and I sit close to Jo, leaning in to kiss her again. It seems I can't keep my hand to myself...nor my lips. She happily responds and our noses bump together causing us to pull away and giggle, Jo blushing.

Right, so this is too short but I have a reason, I swear! Just...bear with me...

I love y'all!!!! <3
