Thread: Maid for you... {Chasseybaby ~ deadmanshand}

Evy blushed and glow coming over her as she turned to look at the huge self portrait of her employer, I want everyone to see the great man that I see every day. The one that struggles but doesnt give up without a fight. A man who pours blood, sweat and tears into his passion and doesnt let what life dealt him make him weak. His determined and strong. But is also human. He had dreams and ambitions. His my Champion. She looked back at Gideon, her hand squeezed his arm gently as her eyes sparkled in the dim light. It felt good to final tell him, or show him, what she felt when she saw him fight or train every day. What it meant to her when she saw him push through the everyday pains of his leg. Why she put up with his tempers or his depressions. In a way he helped her too. He showed her even with the loss of her family she still had to keep going. With every lost job or rejected painting, she had to still keep fighting. She looked over his face, the deep vivid shades that made up his green eyes, the hard edges of his cheekbones and chin that softened when he smiled or laughed. The slop of his more than once broken nose and the fullness of his parted lips. Her own lips parted as she took a slow inhale of air. Her heat was racing in her chest and the butterflies in the stomach were soon fluttering down to her panties and making her tighten her thighs together. She had been dodging and avoiding these types of feelings for him for months, unsure of how he felt for her. But now with him making a room, literally, for her in his home she wondered if he would do the same for his heart. Her eyes slowly traveled back up to his, as she moved in closer, hesitantly. She gradually stepped up on her tiptoes her lids fluttering closed as her lips ghosted over his for a kiss. There you are! Evy jumped back and whirled to see Mary linking arms with Ted who held a tray of glasses filled with amber liquor. Mary had a sly grin on her face as if she were a cat that caught a mouse. Evy didnt share the same look, but was turning as red as her hair. Ted looked to bust at the steams with excitement, So Id like to announce the success of our new artist, Evelyn Gray. Thank you Evy, your works have pulled so much money for this foundation. Id be honored for you to continue to provide more pieces to our gallery in the future. Ted said. Mary smacked his shoulder, I told you she was good! Didnt I? She just needed the right motivation, she said while looking at Gideon. If Evy wasnt in public she would have tossed the blonde to the floor like she did when they were kids. Mary only winked and cuddled up to her soon to be husband. A toast! Ted interjected handing the glasses of top shelf whiskey, Evys personal favorite. They clinked glasses and drank and Evy felt a well of pride at what Ted had said. Finally, a gallery who would display her work, maybe even purchased. She felt the alcohol relax her as they started to talk about art, MMA, and other mundane things that they all found interesting. It had been a wonderful night, Evy mused. Drinking shots, with the occasional absinth, laughing at Gideons MMA stories, Marys confession about her fiancs parents, and having a great time all around. Evy couldnt remember seeing Gideon smile and laugh so much since she knew him. Now they were in the back on the cab on their way to her apartment. She insisted she could make it on her own, but when Ted caught her from toppling head first into the waiting cab Mary asked if Gideon would take her home. I dont like the people, or the neighborhood she lives at, her best friend confessed. Evy was now curled up next to him, eyes closed and a plastered smile on her face. She wasnt drunk, just a little buzzed was all. She nestled closer to him enjoying the smooth ride in the back of the cab. Thank you for coming Gideon. I had a wonderful time, she interrupted the silence. The need to lean in and continue their kiss was on the forefront of her mind. But she didnt want to ruin the moment they were having and settled her head on his shoulder instead. Suddenly the cab stopped to an abrupt halt and an officer approached the window. Yellow caution tape was wrapped around the worn down apartment complex that looked like a trap house. The cab driver rolled down his window and asked, Whats going on? Drug bust? The officer tipped his hat, That and there was a gas leak and everyone is being evacuated as well as being evicted. Place is condemned, dont know how the tents lived in this hell hole Someone was trying to cross the tape and the office yelled and paying them a good night and went to pulled the man back from the tape. The cabbie looked at Gideon with a questioning glace in the mirror, Well, then where too boss?
