SCANDAL

Suspicion

"Do you think Carol's cheating on me ?" Y/N directly asked Valkyrie.

"What ?" Valkyrie asked, confused.

"Recently, I've been feeling like there's something different between us." Y/N revealed.

"Y/N, I don't know if she is or not, but I think you should talk to her about this. I know you and I know her, and I know that you guys talk about this sort of stuff." Valkyrie advised.

"That's why I asked you, you're like our couple therapist." Y/N laughed.

"Y/N, Carol loves you more than anything. She wouldn't do something this big to ruin your relationship." Valkyrie said, avoiding looking at Y/N.

"I know." Y/N assured.

"You know that I'll always be here for you. I care for you, and I also care for Carol." Valkyrie stated.

"That's what I'm afraid of..." Y/N mumbled, taking a sip of her tea as she examined Valkyrie.

I guess their day together was not enough to set aside the suspicion they had in their gut. 

----------

DANVERS LLC.

In a meeting that included board members along with the two shareholders plus their lawyer, they talked about the corporation's expansion.

Y/N and Carol were at each end of the table, they looked at each other while the members discussed the topic.

The contact was way off from a loving gaze, instead it was an observing stare.

Natasha started to talk about the details of the corporation's plan, and Y/N looked at the redhead long enough for her wife to notice it.

"We will need to cut short in the expenses for now..." She kept going about the limit they were going to take as Y/N smiled at the redhead.

Carol now noticed the dynamic that was going on, and it was like she was third wheeling in the conversation.

Natasha has been their lawyer ever since they started this establishment, but it's only now that Carol doubting the professionalism of the woman.

Once the meeting ended, everyone left the room, including Y/N. 

Before Natasha could leave, Carol called her attention.

"Nat, can you stay for a minute ?" Carol asked, more like demanded.

"Yeah, sure. Did you need some clarifications ?" Natasha was more than happy to oblige.

"No, I'm aware of the details. I just wanted to ask your advice on something." Carol stood up from her chair.

"What is it ?" Natasha asked curiously.

"Y/N and I are going to celebrate something special in a few days, and I wanted to get her flowers. Roses, specifically. What sort of roses do you think I should get her ?" Carol asked. 

In all honesty, there was no special occasion in the Danvers calendar. And even if there was, Carol didn't need suggestions on what flowers her wife was going to like. 

They've been together for eight years and have been married for three years. Yes, there are many more things the couple was going to learn from one another, but both spouses were experts in the types of flowers they loved.

"Oh, I think red roses would be great." Natasha was surprised with the out of ordinary question.

"Why red ?" Carol asked again.

"I mean, red roses are common, but I think the meaning is deeper. 

Red roses obviously mean love, but everlasting love. It's eternal, filled with desire and passion. It's lust-filled, but makes a great statement for the one you love.

If you're going to celebrate a very special event then, red roses would be the one for your only one." Natasha smiled as she gave her interpretation of red roses as they both looked at Y/N from the clear glass room.

"Thank you, Natasha. That's all." Carol gave a forceful smile before she left.

She continued looking at how Natasha and Y/N interacted through the room. That same gut feeling was still bothering her as she looked at the two.

----------

At dinner at Danvers residence, Y/N and Carol caught on each other's day as they ate the food Y/N cooked.

"Yeah, I had lunch with Valkyrie today." Y/N mentioned, taking a close eye on how her wife reacted.

"Oh, that's nice. What did you guy's do ?" Carol swallowed her food uncomfortably.

"We ate."

"Right." Carol laughed.

"By the way, you know that I'll have to go to London for the expansion, right ?" Y/N brought up.

"Yeah, what about it ?" Carol asked.

"Natasha will be there because she needs to assist the new branch with the finances and the new setup." Y/N said. 

Carol thought about it for a few seconds as she recalled the closeness her and their lawyer had.

"Um, sure." She smiled, placing her hand on Y/N's.

"Great." Y/N smiled and took her hand away from Carol's as she got up to cleanup.

As Y/N started the dishes, her phone rang on the dinner table and Carol saw the contact.

Natasha Romanoff text message

Carol raised her eyebrows as her suspicion grew bigger, but she took her plate and brought it to the sink.

"I'm going to take a shower." She told Y/N after placing a peck on her cheek and running up their bedroom.

----------

While Carol took her shower and Y/N finished washing the dishes, she walked upstairs to get ready for bed.

After she changed into her sleeping wear and did her night routine, she noticed Carol's phone ding.

Vincent 2 text messages

Vincent Missed FaceTime call

"Who the hell is Vincent ?" Y/N mumbled to herself. 

She is one of the shareholders of her corporation, and she knows all her clients. There is no Mr. Vincent. (Ms. gurl is starting to think that her wife is straight.)

Then she thought about something. V, Vincent, V, Valkyrie.

It was stupid to her, but maybe she was on to something.

She sighed, thinking about the fact that her wife could be cheating on her with her best friend of thirteen years.

She heard the shower turn off, and she quickly placed her wife's phone down.

Later in the night, the two wives slept with their backs facing each other.

It was too late for them to not be asleep, and yet their eyes were wide open. 

Carol started to shift in the bed, and Y/N immediately shut her eyes closed.

For a few seconds of the shifting, she felt the bed go empty. 

She waited until any sound was made, and the door shut, Carol left.

Y/N got up the bed quickly, and watched as her wife went into her car and drove off to somewhere.

"You know the truth by the way it feels."

A/N - Helloo :) Holy, I wrote this chapter in such a fast pace, so sorry for any mistakes. Where do you guys think this is going ? Also hope you're doing well :)
