Black Magic Women

53

"Do you mind telling me what you're doing in my bedroom in the middle of the night?" Mary asked after Zelda hadn't spoken for a long time. The brunette tried to sit up but the sheets had wrapped themselves around her legs, making it a struggle.

Zelda was still too stunned to think properly so she couldn't muster up a logical answer, leaving her with nothing but hot air.

"I ummm." Zelda started but had to chuckle at Mary, who tried to kick her way free. The brunette looked like a turtled that had managed to land on his back, kicking and rolling around.

Zelda covered her mouth with her hand, not wanting to seem rude by laughing, but the scene in front of her just looked to cute to remain silent. Mary fighting with a sheet, hair flying into every direction and reddened cheeks were hilarious to Zelda.

"What is so funny?" Mary said after she had finally managed to sit up and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Nothing..." Zelda lied and smiled at the brunette.

"So what gives me the honor of you visit?" Mary asked and Zelda just wanted to lay down with her. She didn't want to answer any questions or discuss this topic for once.

"I just needed to see you," the ginger whispered and felt tears welling up in her shimmery eyes. She didn't want to tell Mary about her nightmare but relief washed over her, releasing all these bottled up emotions.

"Come here." Marry motioned for Zelda to sit down next to her and pulled her in to a tight embrace. The two women held onto each other as it was their lifeline.

"I'm sorry." Zelda said and buried her face in Mary's neck.

"No, I am sorry. I should have talked to you about it," Mary said and felt tears wetting the skin on her neck. She wrapped her arms tighter around the ginger and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment.

"I went on a date with him today." She said and felt Zelda stiffen in her arms. She just needed to get it off her chest. She couldn't stand not talking to Zelda and she wanted to be as open as possible after what had happened. She didn't want their relationship to be built on lies. They had been there and it didn't work too well.

"And?" Zelda asked, afraid of what the answer might be.

"He wanted me to kiss him."

"Did you?"

"No."

Zelda released a breath of relief as her fears were taken from her. She wouldn't have broken up with Mary over a stupid kiss but knowing that Mary refused to kiss other men made her definitely more at ease with the idea of a date.

"I just couldn't... It felt so wrong. You're the only one I'm supposed to be kissing," she said and pushed Zelda back to look her in the eyes.

"What did you do to him?" Zelda asked, Mary's facial expression making her suspicious. The brunette's cheeks reddened and Zelda just knew something wasn't quite right.

"I didn't kill him if that's what you're asking..." Mary said and avoided eye contact. Zelda's heart missed a few beats at the prospect of Mary having hurt somebody.

"What did you do?" She pressed, this time sterner and much more demanding. She needed to know what Mary had done to the poor man.

"He might have lost something... precious," Mary whispered and Zelda thought she hadn't heard right. Mary surely couldn't have done that...

"You didn't..."

"He deserved it!"

Zelda's head was spinning and the fierce look in Mary's eyes told her that there was more to this story. She wouldn't just cut off body parts, would she?

"He assaulted me the entire evening! He sneaked hands between my legs at every given opportunity and Lord I would have loved to kill him when he kissed my neck, but I didn't! I didn't because I love you and I wanted this vacation so bad. Then he wanted me to kiss him in exchange for the two weeks off. I just couldn't kiss him but he wouldn't let me go... I had no choice." Mary said and tears were welling up in her eyes at the thought of what had almost happened.

"Oh Mary, I am so sorry. I didn't know..." Zelda said and wrapped her arms around the brunette tightly.

"You couldn't..."

Silence broke loose and the two women just comforted each other. Mary calmed down slowly and Zelda couldn't believe that this pig had tried to force Mary to do something she didn't want to do. Zelda's blood was boiling and Mary could tell.

Mary just wanted to move on from there and not talk or think about this ever again. She wanted to leave it in the past, buried and never to be talked about again.

"I am going to kill him." Zelda stated after a while of silence and Mary just shook her head, not wanting Zelda to do something incredibly stupid.

"No, he has suffered enough," she said and if Zelda hadn't been present, she wouldn't have believed that the former Mother of Demons had just said that.

"What did you just say?" Zelda couldn't believe it. Mary truly had changed and it made Zelda's heart burst in joy.

"I know it's crazy but... I feel like I have hurt him enough. I mean he lost his most precious thing." Mary said and Zelda kissed her lips softly.

"I am so happy that you feel that way!"

The two of them just stared each other deeply into the eyes and no words would have been able to express what they were feeling at that moment.

"So you just cut off his balls?" Zelda asked, almost laughing.

"It wasn't exactly like that, but basically yes."

The two women broke into laughter.

"Good to know."

Zelda smiled at Mary before she pressed her lips against the ones of the brunette. Lord, she loved that woman.

"I love you." Zelda said and Mary just nodded.

"I love you too."
