Wanda Maximoff One-Shots

Stepmother

Pov y/n

The good thing about having young parents is a great childhood because they will do all kinds of silly things with you.
The bad thing about young parents is them thinking they were soulmates but they were not. And also: their new partners. 

Now, I don't mind my parents finding someone new, it's just who they found. My mom's new boyfriend is a little boring because he's a college professor and loves talking about his classes during dinner. He's a nice guy and makes my mom happy, so that's all that matters. But I am glad I don't live with them because I got enough college talk during the semester.
Since we live close to college, I don't have to live in a dorm and instead live at home. Sure, sometimes I think it would be fun to be in a dorm but I like my home. Mom lives near by and I visit her every week to have dinner with her and her boyfriend.

She was twenty when she had me and still in college herself, so when I was born, I had the full college experience without remembering it. But there are many pictures of me in college merch or with the football team my dad was in. He's a year younger than my mom and I'm always impressed that they managed to raise me that young. I'm currently 21 and can't imagine having a baby to raise. To be fair, I'm also not in a relationship and a lesbian, so it's not that easy for me anyway. 

But sometimes I do feel like my dad misses the time at college. The time where I wasn't born, to be exact. I don't think he regrets having me and raising me but he does act like he was still in college.
I don't blame him for that though. We're both adults now so he can do whatever he wants. Even if that involves being away for football practice with his friends or being on business trips.
He loves traveling, so it's not a big surprise he's excited about every trip he takes.

When I was around nine, he used to take me with him and homeschool me but mom didn't like that because she barely got to see me. Ever since I'm old enough to stay home alone for a little longer, he's been traveling a lot again. I don't mind, I actually like having the house to myself. Well, almost to myself because here comes the problem: my dad's girlfriend. 

She's not an asshole or annoying or anything, more like the total opposite. She's truly beautiful and attractive.
The first time I saw her, I almost thought my dad brought home a girlfriend for me. I was ready to take her on a date or invite her into my bedroom instantly. But then he explained that Wanda is his new girlfriend.
I was disappointed but seeing how happy he is now is worth it. Well, at least I think he is still happy, I barely see him. They are together for three years now and around a year ago Wanda moved in. 

Six months ago, Dad started going on multiple business trips again. I once heard them argue about that because Wanda was annoyed with him for being away all the time. I wanted to listen in a little more but then I heard them move to the stairs that I was standing on, and bailed into my room.

Now, I know I shouldn't have a crush on my stepmother but I can't help it, she is just so breathtaking and on top of that, she also has a great personality. She's so sweet and caring and loving. Not once did she make me feel like I was a burden my dad brought into their relationship. She welcomed me with open arms. Maybe that made my crush worse. 

I shouldn't have a crush on her, for multiple reasons. For once: she's my dad's girlfriend and secondly, she's 18 years older than me. I'm not saying that age is necessarily a problem but it can be difficult when you are in different stages in life. Besides, she could be my mother with that age difference. A young one but still. 

During the semester my crush isn't a huge problem because I spend most of my time at college anyway and afterwards I'm out with friends to study or have a coffee break. But now that I am on vacation, I spend more time at home and ergo more time with Wanda around.
