Y/N POV
Monday:
I woke up at the alarm on my phone. It's 5:30am and I'm tired as hell. Why do I have to be on work so early? I groaned. I saw Helena moving and I didn't want her to wake up, so I played with her hair and draw random patters on her back. "shhhh, go back to sleep" I whispered. Not a minute after she was already deep in her sleep. Thanks god
I get up careful as possible and moved her to the side. I go to the bathroom and started my morning routine. Once I was done, I get back into the bedroom and Hellie was still asleep. After a few weeks of us dating, I got a space in her closet for my things. I picked a outfit and walked back into the bathroom to apply my make up and dress myself.
It's 6:30am now and I have to go. I got my purse, keys and my phone. I wrote a little letter for Hellie let her know I am already left for work. Otherwise she starts to panic. I left her house and drive to the office.
Helena POV
I woke up from my alarm. It's 8:15am. The kids have a free period that's why they could sleep a bit longer. I looked to my left and Y/N was already gone, but I saw a note on her pillow.
'Good morning sleepyhead,
I already off to work and will probably not back until 7pm. If you want something for dinner, call or text me, I will pick something on my way back. Don't forget to asked if the kids want something ;)
I hope you have a wonderful day!
-yours Y/N'
It reads.
'Yours' sounds good, I think I'm ready to tell her I love her. We didn't said it yet, but it feels right now. I made myself ready and woke up the kids. After breakfast I drove them to school. "Have fun, I love you" "we love you too mom" with that I was alone. I bought some groceries and drove back home. I sorted everything into the fridge and made myself a cup of tea before I relax on the couch. I have a day off because we worked nonstop last week and we all needed 3 days in a row.
I was reading the news, nothing special, but then a headline caught my attention. 'Harry Potter Star Emma Watson, 32, was seen with ex-costar Helen McCrorys, 53, daughter Y/N McCrory, 25, kissing in the restaurant 'Inca'. Are they together?' It says. I taped on the article and began to read. At the end there was a picture with Y/N and Emma kissing. wtf? Did she cheated on me with Emma? I had tears in my eyes and couldn't stop looking at the picture of them kissing.
Several hours later I was still so sad but stopped crying. It was time to pick up the kids from school. I took my keys and drove off. The kids are already waiting for me and stepped in. "Hey mom" they say. "Hello lovelies" I answered with a broken voice from crying. "Mom what's wrong?" Billy asked concerned. "Yes mom, did you cry?" Nell added. "It's nothing, don't worry about it." "Mom it's not 'nothing'! Something happened and bothers you, so you rather tell us or we find out in our own!" Bill said a bit louder than usual.
"It's about Y/N" I say quietly. "What about her?" Nell asked. "Here" I handed them my phone with the article. The read it and looked at me. "Mom this is ridiculous, Y/N would never cheat on you or something. I'm 1000% sure this is only a misunderstanding. She knows Emma for years and if she had interest in her they would be already together." Billy said. Why would they already be together? Does he know something I don't? "What do you mean by 'already together'? I asked a bit scared.
"Ahmm" "Billy tell me!" I dement. "You know.. Emma had some sort of feelings for Y/N a little while ago.. but Y/N hadn't the same so she rejected her. They are still friends, nothing change after, but I think Emma still have feelings for her. Not that she would admit it." She has feelings for MY Y/N.. she should better watch out or she might get hurt!
"How do you know that?" I questioned. "Y/N and I tell each other everything. We are best mates. We don't have any secrets from each other. There is nothing she don't know about me, we even talked about our sex life and sometimes shower together. We have this kind of friendship I suppose. I have absolutely no interest in her neither she has, romantically i mean. Same goes for me, I think there is nothing I don't know about her." They showered together and talk about their sex life? Did she told him about our sex life? "Wait actually there is something she didn't told me. But to be fair, I also don't want to know it and she knows that I know." "What?" I'm confused now. "Your sex life mom, I really don't want to know it! Even if I would asked her she wouldn't tell me." Thank god! "Eww" Nell says and I only chuckled.
"Alright, maybe you are right and this is a misunderstanding. I talk to her later. btw, what do you want for dinner? Y/N said she would pick something before she comes back." "How about Chinese? We didn't had it in a while" Nell suggest. "I'm in!" "Good, Chinese it is, what do you want?" They look through the homepage of the restaurant and read over the menu. "I take number 24 and 51" Billy says. "I take 9 and 55" Nell adds. "excellent choice sweethearts." I texted Y/N what we want and we played some rounds cards after we got home.
Y/N POV
Why is it so fucking full today? I just want to go home! It's already 5:45pm and I still have another client. Hopefully this ends fast, I'm tired. Suddenly I got a message from Helena.
Baby❤️🔥: Hey Love, thank you for the letter this morning! I want to let you know that we decided on Chinese. Billy wants 24 and 51, Nell 9 and 55 and I want 14 and 56. Thank you so much, I miss you my sweet❤️
PS we need to talk later, but don't be scared, I just want to asked you something!
She wants to talk to me.. fantastic.. I'm so tired that I don't have the energy to fight with her if I answer her question wrong. "Dr. McCrory, Mr. Smith is here" my assistant told me. "Let him in please. And Dana, I already told you to call me Y/N!" I smiled and so does she. "Good evening Dr. McCrory." he greeted. "Good evening Mr. Smith. Please have a seat."
Time skip 7:15pm:
I'm already on my way back home because I ordered the food before so I only had to pick it up. I'm nervous because I don't know what Helena wants to talk about. Did I do something in the last couple of hours? I don't think so.. we had a beautiful weekend and everything was fine. Maybe Billy told her something. I parked my car, get my keys out of my bag and unlocked the door.
"You are back" Billy said and greet me. "Yeah" "you look tired." "I don't only look like I'm tired I am" I giggled. We go into the dining room where Helena and Nell are. "Hey everyone" I smiled. "Hey Darling" Helena said and kissed me. "Hey Y/N" Nell greet me. "Let's eat, I'm starving" I say. "Didn't you eat anything?" Hellie asked concerned. "Only breakfast." I answered. "You know it's not good for you?" Nell said. "I know but I didn't had time. Megan (my college) had a sick day and I covered all her clients." They nodded in understanding.
"Before I forget, moms birthday is on Saturday, so I stay with her over the week to help her prepare. Today is the last day I stay here" I told Helena. "Do you already have a gift?" She asked. "Yes, got it last week, it's a necklace." "She will surely be happy about that, she loves jewelry" she giggled. The last of the meal we ate in silence. Once we were done Billy and Nell made their way to their rooms and wished us a good night.
"Hellie, you mentioned you want to talk with me. What is this about?" I asked once we were in her bedroom. "Ah yes, I saw a article this morning and want to know what happened." She said calmly. "What article?" she give me her phone and I read it and saw the picture. "Fucking hell, I hate paparazzis and journalists" I muttered under my breath. "Care to explain?" she asked. "There is not much to explain actually. Emma and I wanted to kiss each other on the cheek, like we always do, but leaned in the same direction and accidentally peaked our lips." I told her calm. "The kiss was not even a second, but the paparazzi got a picture of it. She apologized directly and we didn't talked about it afterwards." I continued and shrugged my shoulders. But then it hits me..
"Wait did you thought I would cheat on you? Is this the reason why your eyes are red and puffy? Because you cried over a article and a picture what have absolutely no context?" I asked carefully. "At first, yes I thought you cheated on me. But when I picked up the kids Billy told me that this is a simple misunderstanding and you would never cheat on me." "That's true, why should I? If she would be 15 years older, than you could think about it." I joked. "But seriously, I would never cheat on you! You are perfect. You make me smile if I have a bad day, you can make someone feel better only by looking at them. You are the most beautiful woman inside and out. There is no one compared to you my love." I said and slowly made my way over to her and took her hands in mine.
"Billy said that Emma has feelings for you. Is it true?" she asked in a whisper. Seriously Billy!? "She had feelings for me, yes but it's a long time ago. I think it was around the time when Lana and I started dating. So it's almost 5 years ago." I answer honestly. "He thinks she still have feelings for you." "I don't think so, she never mentioned anything after I rejected her. Plus she is in a relationship with someone and happy. That is what she told us Friday." Silence... "You have absolutely no reason to be jealous or to not trust me. While you are around, more like while we are together, I would only have eyes for you. There is no one on this planet I would rather be with. I know you think you are not enough for me and I will leave you, but in all honesty, the moment I will leave you, is the moment I die." She looked me in the eyes and searched for something I might lie but didn't find it.
"Thank you." she said. "Don't thank me, it's the truth." I smiled. She leaned in and kissed me softly. "I love you" there it was.. the first 'I love you'. She said it! omg!!! my heart jumped out of my chest and a firework explode in my stomach. My heart shattered into millions of individual hearts with her name on it. Is this what real love feels like? "I love you too"
