Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 30

Say hello to Thomas!

I apologize that his suit isn't very creative on my part, but I feel like it SUITS him, haha...ha...I'll leave.

A/N: I'm so ahead of things, I'm going to go ahead and post an extra chapter. Enjoy!

Fawn's POV

I blinked in surprise at the person standing in the doorway. He wore a large, damn near perfect, smile and he was about Alastor's age I'd say.

Maybe younger.

He took a few steps towards us, and I did a quick observation. His hair was pitch black, slicked back on his head neatly. The dark blue suit he wore was obviously expensive, matching the quality of the one Alastor was wearing.

Instead of a bow tie, he wore a silk black tie. His shoes were shined and as far as I can smell he doesn't reek of alcohol and cigar smoke, so that's a good sign.

He's also incredibly handsome, like incredibly handsome.

The closer he came, the more I realized that this guy is the real deal. This is a business man through and through.

Alastor had already snapped into his professional persona, the smile on his face no longer relaxed. He took a step forward to meet Thomas and both men extended their hands unprompted and joined in a firm handshake.

"Thomas, my good man! What a pleasure to meet you," Alastor said with a smile that could've knocked me off my feet had it been directed at me.

"You as well, fellow! Apologies for my late start on the job, I'm sure the whole place was just burning down around your feet without me here," he said with a smile, the tone of his voice being light and playful.

I kept a small smile on my face as I watched them interact, already liking Thomas a lot better than Henry.

So far he seems nice, and he's treating Alastor respectfully as well. Him and Al are about eye to eye, both of them wearing a large commercial-esque smile.

After a few more introductory words, Thomas's attention turned to me. He blinked in slight surprise and glanced at Alastor, "and who is this lovely lady?" He asked.

Slipping off the desk, I walked over and held my hand out to him, giving him a friendly smile, "Fawn, nice to meet you," I introduced myself.

Again Thomas seemed surprised, that smile on his face widening before he took my hand in his. He grasped my hand much more gently than he did Alastor's, giving me a soft squeeze before he brought my knuckles to his lips.

"Why hello! Such a pleasure to meet you, my name is Thomas!" He returned my introduction respectfully, immediately bumping him up a few notches in my good graces.

His lips against my knuckles was flattering, but I found that it didn't nearly have the same effect as when Alastor did it the first time I met him.

How odd.

Thomas took a brief glance at my outfit, intrigue crossing his features as he released my hand and stepped back slightly. He glanced at Alastor again before directing his attention back to me.

Uh oh, here we go...

"I've never met such a sharply dressed young woman! Are you his co-host?" He asked me, remaining respectful as his striking blue eyes locked on mine.

I was caught off guard, blinking in surprise that he didn't mock and or criticize me. He also isn't referring to Alastor when speaking about me...he's speaking directly to me.
