The Scent of You

Chapter 5

Pov Wanda

Installing the cameras was one of the best ideas I had when it comes to y/n. Well, apart from the obvious one with the scent.
The cameras gave me information I didn't have before, like Spencer being just a friend and not a lover. I was really relieved when I figured that out.
I'm not saying, I would have gotten violent if she was but I also wouldn't have stayed calm.

The more time I spend watching or being with y/n, the more I feel possessive towards her. That wasn't the plan when I started this but now that it is what it is, I can't help it anymore. All I want is for her to be mine and not look at anyone else the way she looks at me. She can have friends, that's fine but god help them if she ever finds someone she likes romantically.

My potion is working rather well, too well maybe because I tend to forget I'm even using it. Being with her just feels natural, almost as if I didn't have to use the potion to get her to be around me. It lured her in pretty good and we even went out a few times to have lunch or just hang out, which was great every time. Now I just need her to stay with me. So far, I can't tell how she feels about me, so I will keep using the potion. If I know for sure that she loves me, I will slowly stop using the potion because then she will want to stay with me out of love. That's the plan at least, I'll have to see how well that'll work out. 

I might have to be a little more careful though because I watched her over the camera in her room and whenever the scent gets stronger, she seems a little suspicious about it. She has this frown on her face then and I can't tell if it's because she's just thinking or because it worries her. I really hope the first one though because I don't want her to worry about anything when she's with me. When she's not thinking about that, the potion seems to work though because she texts me quite regularly. Often enough, I know a message will come before even receiving it. I spend more time watching her than I'd like to admit. There's just something calming and enchanting about her that pulls my focus away from anything else that I'm doing.

I held back so far and kept the interactions friendly, the flirting just being discreetly. Whenever she flirts back though, it feels like a huge win and a step into the right direction. She tends to get a little shy when I flirt more obviously but it's so goddamn cute when she blushes at that. Sometimes I catch myself flirting with her just to see that adorable blush again.

Last night I nearly squealed when I read her message. And let me tell you one thing: I don't squeal usually.
But it felt like a huge step forward, I just couldn't not react. She asked to hang out at my place tonight after work. Of course, I said yes instantly, only a little worried about her finding anything suspicious in the house. But I don't plan on letting her go upstairs. Every room we're gonna be in is downstairs, so there's no need for her to go upstairs. The kitchen, livingroom and master bedroom is downstairs, along with a bathroom.

Upstairs is just my spellbook room, another bathroom and a spare room that used to be Vision's office. There's a stinging in my chest when I think about him but I push it away. That's history now and the room is now a guest bedroom. Well, there's a bed in there that's all but it's a start. Leaving it empty felt like admitting that something, or rather someone, was missing from my life, which isn't the case. I don't miss Vision anymore, I found someone new to like and hopefully spend my future with.

I prepared dinner for us, hoping she will like what I came up with. I'm a little nervous to be honest because we never met anywhere in private. So far we were always outside in a park or café or the city. Now we are alone and no one can distract us or our interaction. And to top it off, we are meeting at my place, which gives me the advantage of preparing everything how I need it. Meaning, I sprayed the potion around the room to make sure the scent is ever present and she'll get even more attached to me. 

The moment the doorbell rings, my heart starts to beat a little faster. Excitement fills my body as I make my way to the door. I can't really place if this is a date or not but I really hope so.
As I open the door, I reveal y/n standing in front of it with a small bouquet of flowers in her hand. That instantly makes me smile.
