COMPLETED Drugshot - Bride of Depp #Wattys2016

Chapter IX - Tamed

"Goodmorning Johnny." Aunt Marina greets me happily. She used to be my nanny when I was a kid, when my family was still well off, before my parents divorced and before money became an issue. She's an old family friend who's been one of the best people to look after me as a young kid. When I already have enough money saved, I called and reunited with her and ask if she can take care and reside on the properties I owned but not using. She used to reside in my house in Kentucky with her husband and youngest son. A few years back, her son got married and just before this mansion came into its completion, her husband died, leaving her alone. Many times I asked her to come back with ne to Hollywood but she refused and said she'd rather stay here as her late husband would have loved to continue working here for me. And now, after a year of restorations and developments, she's still here in the Island as its primary caretaker.
"Goodmorning auntie." I greet her smiling as I steal a strip of bacon from the plate.
"Anything you'd like to add?" She asks.
"Fresh fruits would definitely work for her, auntie, and coffee. She's hooked to caffeine." I say taking another bacon from the plate.
"Does she take meat?"
"Not in the morning. Bagels will be fine. Do you mind if I wait for it upstairs? The queen is still sleeping."
"Not a problem, dear." She smiles.
"Thank you auntie!" I say kissing her on the cheeks, she speaks again as I start walking back to the room.
"Johnny..." I turn around and see her teary-eyed.
"I'm very happy for you." She says.
"Thank you."
"She's beautiful, take good care of her, understand?"
"She is...and I will." I smile again and wink at the kind woman in front of me.

I gently twist the door knob not wanting to wake up Helena. I lie down beside her again when I confirmed that she's still sleeping. Pulling the blanket to cover her body from the morning breeze, I embrace her and kiss her nose. It was still very early, the sun is just starting to rise and I don't wanna rush her just for breakfast so I'm allowing her to sleep some more. We have the whole day to have fun anyway.

After almost half an hour, I can hear knocks on the door and expecting it to be Aunt Marina, I jump out of the bed to open it for her.
"Goodmorning Johnny!" Exclaims a familiar voice with a thick Asian accent.
"Tiff-any???"
"Yes, of course! Brought your breakfast dear." She speaks and walks inside the room.
"W-what are you doing here?" I ask dumbfounded then slaps my face mentally. I remember I hired her a few months ago as a vintner, we're trying to develop the wine for marketing with my friend Ronaldo. The friend who gave me the bottle of wine Helena and I shared on our wedding night. Tiffany is in her late twenties, she studied in France about wines and the likes. I met her few years back and became sort of "friends" until I hired her for her talent and passion for wine industry. I didn't expect her to be here today, I knew she's in France, furthering her studies regarding wines and bottlery.
"Oh, I missed you too, Johnny." She turns around and looks at me hungrily as she tries to sound seductive. She's pretty alright, she's a highly-civilized Korean national with a passion for wine and business...and other things.
She looks at me with her fake blue eyes, she's wearing contact lenses so early in the morning. I realize I am still clad in just my boxers when I notice her eyes roaming around my upper body down to my waist.
"Where do I put this? God! It's the first time I've ever been in this room. Mrs. Thompson locks it all the time, I would've clean this perso..."
"You can put that on that round table." I reply to her cutting her off as I point my fingers to the round table beside the huge window pane.
What did she say again? She wanted to go in this room?
Of course this room is off-limits and I strictly requested aunt Marina to keep it private. It' my room, no. It's my and Helena's sanctuary. Oh, shit! This is a bad timing for Tiffany. Many times I just hope I didn't lead her on to thinking we could have a thing. Right now, I'm hoping she's not here at all. She'd flirt and flirt until she's satisfied and I wouldn't want Hellie to see Tiffany doing that to me.

"So how long are you..." I'm just looking at her as she puts down the tray of breakfast on the table.
"...staying.here.this.time?" Her eyes are growing wide as she bows and picks up something on the floor.
"Oh gosh!" She exclaims and immediately lets go of Helena's torn negligee. That is then Tiffany looks at the bed and her eyes grow wider as she looks at my sleeping wife.
"You're with a woman!" She exclaims again.
"I would appreciate it if you'll turn down your voice Tiffany. You're waking her up." I can't help but snap at how she's reacting. It's not as if she's even labeled as my girlfriend, we're friends and business associates, alright. There weere times when we made out but I never had sex with her.
"J-Johnny! I thought..." I just shake my head and walks to the bed when I notice Helena becoming restless.
"Goodmorning, baby." Helena yawns and stretches her arms and I take that as an opportunity to kiss her on the lips, forgetting about the woman who's now on the foot of the bed.
"Time for breakfast, Hel."
"Hmm... Coffee..." She lies back to the bed again and closes her eyes.
"What's that noise...?" She asks frowning while I'm trying to cover her nudity from the accusing eyes of Tiffany. She then opens her eyes again and looks at me.
"My vintner. Pardon her. She missed me badly." I whisper to her ear and kiss her cheeks.
"You just woke up my wife, Tiffany. Not a good start for you two." I say as I stand up to get the tray from the table.
"It's alright Johnny..." Helena.
"Your what?!" Tiffany. They chorused.
Tiffany gasps for air the moment she looks at Helena who's now sitting half naked on the bed.
"What the..." Helena almost curses realizing she was naked and she immediately grabs the blanket to cover herself.
I'm holding the tray now, walking back to the bed. Tiffany is looking at me, obviously dumbfounded when she recognized Helena.
"Hel, this is Tiffany Yang, she's hired as my vintner. We're planning to market the same wine we had at the wedding."
"Hi! I'm Helena... Helena Bonham Carter." She smiles at the other woman and reaches her hand to her.
"Depp." I correct her.
Tiffany hesitantly accepts her hand and looks at me.
"Have breakfast with us, Ms. Yang." Helena smiles warmly at the dumbfounded woman.
"Why am I naked?" She whispers softly through gritted teeth when I went back to the bed and sit beside her.
"I'll just buy you another one." I reply and kiss her on the lips to her surprise.
"You ripped it didn't you?!" She accuses me.
"J-Johnny can we talk?" Tiffany asks making both of us look at her.
"Maybe after breakfast Tiffany." I smile at her politely.
"You can have breakfast with us if you like." Helena says smiling.
"I-I've already had breakfast, Ms. Bonham Carter. Thank you."
"It's Mrs. Depp now, Tiffany."
Helena takes a glance at me and taps my thigh gently. I look at Tiffany hoping that she's getting it. Her already pale face becomes even paler as her eyes look at Helena's hand tapping me, particularly on her banded ring finger before she shifts her glance to my own hand.
"I-I'll wait for you downstairs then... Nice to meet you, err..."
"Just call me Helena, dear... And nice to meet you too." She smiles politely at Tiffany before it steps out of the room.
