[33] Don't Be A Gentleman

Will and I stand on the porch of his father's house and I wait for him to ring the doorbell.

"Maybe we should come back in the morning," he suggests. He fidgets with the collar of his plaid blue shirt, looking more nervous than I've ever seen him before.

"No. We've come all the way here. You can do this!"

"Here goes nothing." He finally rings the doorbell.

A familiar looking young woman opens the door, wearing a think silk nightgown. Her hair is put up in curlers.

"Kathryn, is that you? What are you doing here?" A groggy Nia Buffy questions. I recognize her as Ashleigh's last fling's sister, the one whom we helped with catching her husband cheating at the ball.

"Nia! What are you doing here?" I widen my eyes with surprise. 

"Oh, this is my fiance's house!" She gushes and and I notice Will stiffen.

"Is Greg Wonka your fiance?" Will demands to know.

"Yes, yes he is! Oh my god, you're his son, aren't you? Are you Willy?" Nia looks surprised.

"Yeah, and it's Will," he states awkwardly.

"Well, don't just stand there. Come on in!" We follow her into the house. It has a vintage look to it, with floral wallpaper and white metal furniture.

"Where's my dad?" Will asks.

"He's asleep. I'll go get him!" Nia says and rushes upstairs.

"How do you know her?" Will questions.

"It's a long story, but don't worry, she's nice," I say and then I remember the whole deal with Harold, "I think."

"Willy?" A middle aged man stands at the top of the stairs, staring at Will. He has the same piercing blue eyes and black hair as him. He looks incredible for his age. Will definitely gets his good looks from his father.

I look beside me to see Will like I've never seen him before, vulnerable and afraid. I gently stroke his arm, trying to tell him that it's going to be okay.

Will's father embraces him with a tight hug. "I've missed you, son."

"I'm sorry I never answered your calls," Will croaks. "I'm sorry I refused to see you."

"Come on, we'll let them catch up," Nia says, taking me to a room next to the kitchen.

"Nia, I don't mean to be rude or anything but aren't you already married?" I ask.

"Not anymore, thanks to Ashleigh. I can finally be financially independent and be with the man I truly love. Greg proposed the moment he found out!" She shows the her ring.

"Uh-wow! Congrats!" I say, trying not to judge.

"You look exhausted," she observes.

"Yeah, it's been a long day," I yawn.

"This is the guest room," She tells me. "You can sleep in here."

"Oh, no! I'll wait for Will," I protest.

"Don't worry, I'll let him know you're in here." She smiles and leaves.

I sit on the bed and look around. The room has the same floral wallpaper as the kitchen and smells like lavender. It's extremely pleasant and soothing, which makes me even more sleepy.

"Hey you," Will greets when he enters the room after a while.

"How did it go?!" I ask anxiously.

"Pretty good, actually," He smiles and pushes his hair back. "We'll catch up properly tomorrow."

He picks up a pillow from the bed and keeps it on the floor.

"What are you doing?" I question.

"Skydiving," he says sarcastically.

"You're hilarious," I glare at him.

He shrugs and lays down on the floor.

"What is wrong with you?" I roll my eyes. "Get up here,"

"It's okay, I don't mind sleeping on the floor," he says.

"Will, don't be an idiot," I roll my eyes again. "I'm not gonna give you cooties."

He obliges and puts the pillow back on the bed.

"I thought I was being a gentleman," He chuckles.

I take his hand and pull him onto the bed next to me. "Do both me and yourself a favor," I look into his eyes. "And don't be a gentleman."

"Oooh," He hoots. "Are we getting kinky?"

"Calm your tits, Willy," I wink and he chuckles, laying on his back.

I can't believe I'm spending the night with Mr Greek God.

He lays just a couple of inches away from me and it takes all the willpower in me to stop myself from jumping his bones.

"Thanks for being here with me," He turns towards me.

"Of course," I scooch closer him.

His warm and tender lips embrace mine and I feel like I'm in heaven.

"Goodnight, Willy Wyler Wonka."

"Goodnight, Fedora Margarita Kathryn Angelique Davis."

***

"Kathryn, wake up!" Nia Buffy's voice fills the room. "Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!"

Okay, Nia is really sweet and all, but she's really annoying me right now.

"Coockoo!" She sings and I groan.

I force myself to flutter my eyes open to see Nia staring at me with her large doe eyes.

"Finally! I made you waffles for breakfast," She walks around the room. "Do you like waffles? I like waffles. Everyone likes waffles! Waffles are great! Great, great, great!"

"Nia, are you high?" I question, rising. How do people manage to be so chipper in the morning?

"Sure I am!" She exclaims. "I'm high on life!"

She starts humming and skips out of the room. I wonder where Will is. I quickly go to the bathroom and freshen up. I admire the intricate floral carvings around the mirror as I brush my teeth. I'm so glad I didn't forget to carry my toothbrush.
I splash some water on myself and head out.

The aroma of maple syrup fills my nose when I enter the kitchen.

"Here ya go," Nia says, handing me a plate of waffles with maple syrup.

"Thanks," I take a bite. "This is delicious!"

"Glad you like it!"

"Where's Will?" I ask.

"Oh, he's out fishing with Greg. It's something they used to do when he was a boy," She informs me. "They left pretty early. Will didn't want to wake you,"

"Oh, cool." I say.

"They'll be back by lunchtime. We should go and get mani-pedis while they're gone!" Nia suggests. "There's a salon just a couple of minutes away."

"Sure, that sounds fun!"

***

So here I am, sitting in a salon, getting a pedicure. Surprisingly, this isn't my first time getting one done professionally. It's something my mom and I used to do pretty often.

"Thanks so much for your help the other night, Kathryn," Nia smiles. "If it weren't for you and Ashleigh, I'd be stuck with my cheating old husband. Now I'm a millionaire who's engaged to the most wonderful guy ever!" She gushes.

"Of course! It was actually quite fun," I admit. "How'd you meet Mr Wonka anyway?" 

"Tinder, actually! I have such a thing for DILFs." She giggles.

"That's awesome," I laugh. "So is it serious?"

"Yeah. I know we just met and we're going really fast but I feel like he's my soulmate," She blushes.

"That's great! I'm happy for you," I smile.

"I'm happy for you and Will too," She says. "You make a cute couple!"

"Thanks!" This time, I blush. A couple.

I take my phone out from my purse and send Will a quick text to see how things are going. He replies almost instantly.

'Great! It was a little awkward at first but it's so much better now.'

'I'm so glad! Have fun, see you soon x'

'Will do. Sorry for leaving you all alone, by the way.'

'Don't worry about it, Nia and I are out getting mani-pedis.'

'Mani-pedis? Sounds fun.'

'Tis indeed!'

'You're such a dork.'

'Buh bye Willy.'
