♤The Minds of Money and Power♤

♤a taste of nothing♤

during the meeting, kamala was growing clearly restless at the unwavering suggestions that were presented, she had excused herself to the bathroom as Lucy followed behind

kamala took off her blazer and handed it to lucy then went into the bathroom, Lucy stood outside holding her stuff

a moment after, kamala opened the door and motioned for Lucy to enter as she did

"fix me up please, my assistant normally helps with this kind of stuff but you're all I have today" kamala spoke hurriedly as she fixes her hair

Lucy chuckles slighlty as she fixes kamala's shirt collar

"what's so funny, Ms. Espinoza?

Lucy pauses for a second

"Nothing, nothing at all"

kamala raises a brow but doesn't retaliate, she turned to the mirror and reapplied her crismon lipstick while lucy tucked in her blouse from behind

"You're staring" kamala deadpanned

"Ah, my apologies" lucy spoke quickly, her face pale from embarrassment to which kamala only smirked

lucy helped kamala back into her blazer after which they both returned to the conference meeting

the rest of the meeting went smoothly, after being dismissed, the staff left the room as did kamala and her bodyguard

they made their way to the car in the parking lot and drove off, Lucy's normal duty was to make sure kamala was back at her place safely after their 12 hours at work only then was she dismissed

with that in mind, lucy drove her back to her place while it began raining heavily throughout the entire night, so much so that the road was barely even visible

"lovely weather" kamala spoke softly, finally letting down her bossy demeanor ever since the conference meeting

"sure it is, for the one that isn't driving at least" the other woman spoke with sarcasm laced her tone

kamala glares at lucy subtly before returning to the view outside of the car window, the rest of the ride was completely silent but not awkward, both of the women enjoyed the peaceful silence every now and then, especially after a long exhausting meeting

lucy later pulls over in the driveway of the white house whereby kamala resided since her new role as president, lucy steps out of the vehicle and opened an umbrella, making her way around to kamala's side of the car and escorting her into the building

she stopped at the door and nodded at kamala, the woman returned the gesture and made her way inside as lucy went back to the car and drove off to her place

the rest of the night lucy had spent enjoying her time off after her long shift at work, she normally spends her time partaking in hobbies which she had enjoyed doing so very much

on the outside she was a bodyguard and a rather cold one but on her own she was someone whom had loved to appreciate nature in all of its glory, doing simple things that brought her joy, she loved to paint, to recreate the world around her and have it at her finger tips

as of recent she had caught herself painting persons that ment much to her but mostly ones she loved with all her will but only choose to admire from afar

as soon as lucy had reached home, she took off her gear and placed her rifle down on the counter, after which she went to make herself something to eat and headed straight down to her art studio in her basement and began prepping her items for her next piece of art yet to be made

she took out her canvas and with no reference at all she began to paint with nothing but the mental image of what she wanted to paint

she played a very light jazz music and her steps were almost feather light across the studio, painting to her heart's desire

at the end of it all, she grabbed a glass of wine and took a seat, admiring the work she did before covering it up with a white sheet of cloth to prevent dust from gathering on it

then left the studio and made her way up to her bedroom where she had finally gotten some rest

A/n: kinda short chapter but I'm exhausted and no, yall will not be knowing what she painted, not yet at least.
