Black Magic Women

55

"I can't believe you did that to the poor man!" Zelda said, walking up the path to their rental house. The flight had been good in comparison to her other flights and the company of Mary only made it better.

"He flirted with you!"

"He did not!"

"Then why did he give you his number?"

"Uhm... Business stuff."

"Firstly you never say stuff and secondly this man was a pastor. What on earth could you want from him in any business relation?" Mary raised her eyebrows and Zelda sighed in defeat. She hated that Mary had an observative eye and nearly saw everything.

"Fine he was flirting with me but you didn't have to scare him off." Zelda shot her an annoyed glance and Mary chuckled at Zeldas cute pouty face. Lately the ginger hadn't been able to pull of her tough look around Mary and it bothered her beyond words.

"I only protected my lovely girlfriend from being excommunicated." Mary was about to poke Zelda's nose but the deathly look her girlfriend shot her was enough to let the idea go.

Zelda huffed and rolled her eyes, puffing the smoke from her cigarette into the cold morning air.

"I'd probably be excommunicated for being with you alone in a room so if you want to spare me the embarrassment you should stay away from me."

Mary laughed and elbowed Zelda's side playfully. She knew that Zelda didn't mean it. The meaning of the Church of Night in Zelda's life had become gradually less since the incident and Mary didn't complain. All the hurt caused by a being Zelda had worshipped all her life was simply too much to take.

"God these heels are killing me. How long do we have to walk until we're finally there?" Mary's feet hurt worse than her broken rib had and she cursed herself for the idea to wear heels.

"It's your own fault. You shouldn't have worn them in the first place. I don't know why you insist on wearing them anywhere you go..."

"How should I have known that the house is deeper in the woods than mine back at home?" Mary complained and Zelda just laughed at the whiney sound of Mary's voice.

The two women kept walking in silence. Zelda would have never admitted that her own choice of shoes weren't exactly the best as the little stones kept slipping in. She gritted her teeth at the sensation of walking with sharp pain and pulled her heavy suitcase after her.

"It should be around the corner." Zelda had received the instructions on how to find the house from her sister before they had boarded the plane and tried to figure them out during the duration of the seven hour long flight, which was spent with Mary annoying Zelda on purpose.

"It better be or-" but Mary didn't continue as the view in front of them stunned her into silence. The huge mansion lay in the middle of the woods, hidden from plain sight.

Zelda looked at the two story building and smirked at the good choice of her sister. The house looked exquisite and up to Zelda's high standards.

"Wow"

"Is that the only thing you have to say?"

Zelda shook her head at Mary's dumbfounded look and continued her walk towards the house, too tired to care if Mary was behind her or not.

She entered the mansion and took an impressed look at the modern electronics and top notch interior. Mary closed the front door behind them and joined Zelda in her impressed staring.

"That must have cost them a fortune." Mary stated and the ginger just shook her head, chuckling.

"More like a very good spell. You don't think they have paid for this, do you?"

"I did until you convinced me otherwise." The brunette laughed and Zelda just rolled her eyes at how naive Mary could be at times. For having spent her life as the cruelest demon to have ever lived, she could be pretty naive especially when it came to relationships.

"Lord I'm hungry."

Zelda went in search for the kitchen, abandoning her suitcase in the care of Mary, who went in search of the bedroom they'd be sharing.

Zelda was more successful than Mary, finding the kitchen within the first five minutes of searching.

"She should have given me instructions on how to find my way around this place." She muttered under her breath and opened the fridge to find... nothing.

"Great."

Her mood went down the hill and she sighed in pure annoyance. They'd have to go grocery shopping first. With no car and no money in the right currency it was proven difficult to do so.

"I could just use my magic to create a good meal but it always has a rotten taste."

She was talking to herself, something years of solitude had done to her. She had picked up the habit along the line of not talking to anyone and hadn't been able to put it down ever since.

"Then let's just order something." Mary's voice echoed from behind her and she turned around to find the brunette lean against the doorframe.

Zelda's facial features softened and she felt her heart fill with joy at the sight of Mary smiling at her. The presence of the immortal always soothed her when she wasn't int the best of moods.

"What do you want?" She said and with a snap of her fingers a bunch of leaflets appeared on the counter.

Mary walked over there and instead of looking through the leaflets she wrapped her arms around the waist of the ginger and pulled her closer.

"Mhhh how about you?" She said and both of them laughed softly. Zelda hid her face behind her hair, still not being completely used to all the extra attention she was receiving ever since she had gotten together with Mary.

"Don't hide. I want to see your pretty face."

Mary brushed Zelda's curls out of her face and behind her ear, looking right into Zelda's insecure eyes. You would have thought that Zelda had gotten used to the idea of having Mary compliment her but in reality she hadn't. She enjoyed the stolen kisses and passionate making out sessions but when it came to expressing feelings, she was still a bit hesitant.

"Don't look at me like that. You know it's true."

The brunette said and caressed her cheek tenderly. She wanted Zelda to feel how much she truly loved her. There would be no doubt in her eyes left after Mary would be done with her.

"Maybe I need some more proof," Zelda whispered and Mary just smiled at her before she pressed her lips against the gingers.

Her fingers played with the back of Zelda's dress while her tongue caressed Zelda's sweetly. Zelda's arms found their way around Mary's neck and the two of them stood there for what seemed like an eternity.

When they finally broke apart Zelda's look of insecurity vanished and her usual smirk settled on her face.

"Now pick something. I'm hungry."

Mary laughed at Zelda's demanding tone but went to look through the leaflets, shaking her head.
