And Everything Was Grey...

[bellasdearfriendjessica]

Maggie walked down the stairs in a skin tight red dress, her lips perfectly painted and her flaming hair perfectly curled. Her heels clicked against the hard wood floor and she smirked widely at her best friend when she came into view. “So... do I look slut-y enough for wherever you’re taking me tonight?” She asked playfully with a laugh.

Jessica was standing in front of the mirror, making sure her outfit was on point. The short black dress she had chosen for tonight was hugging her body and the see through patches showed her off even more. Her hair was slicked back a bit and her makeup was complimenting her eyes perfectly. Last but not least the heels were not only giving her quite some hight they also made her legs look longer. She turned around at the sound of heels and smiled devilishly at her friend. “Oh it’s a yes from me honey!” She laughed.

[thecullensdearmaggie]

The redhead walked up behind her friend as she smiled brightly, resting her hands on her arms. “We are going to make everyone in that club jealous.” She smirked, hip bumping Jessica as she went to grab her clutch from the dining room table. “Thank you so much for this. I’ve been needing a night away from Penny.”

[dearsociopathmalachai]

Kai shrugged at his nickname, truthfully he was soulless so he didn’t mind it.

“Caught your scent, thought we could have some fun together again!” He said smirking. He raised an eyebrow at her actions but didn’t stop her, curious to see how far she would go.

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“Oh?” Maggie raised an eyebrow at him with a smirk, the smirk only growing wider when he did not stop her hand. Moving her hand from her hair, she laced one of her fingers threw his belt loop in a quick motion, playing him against her. “And what kind of fun is that?”

[dearsociopathmalachai]

His hands traveled up and down her waist, pulling her closer slowly. He bent down a little so he could whisper in her ear. “Depends…how much time have you got?” His voice was low and seductive, and he smirked pulling her even closer.

[thecullensdearmaggie]

The redhead smirked, relishing the proximity of their bodies as he pulled her closer. She untangled her fingers from his belt loops and let them slowly slide up his abdomen and chest with everytime he tugged her nearer. A quiet chuckle escaped her lips at his question and she moved ever so slightly to look up at him through her thick lashes. “Darling, I have at least six hours.” She replied before pouting slightly and yet again decreasing the distance between them. “So what about you?”

[dearsociopathmalachai]

“I have eternity Red!” He backed away from her with a playful smirk, raising his hands a little. “Unlike you I’m not tied down by a kid!” He said, raising an eyebrow in a challenge. 

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie’s jawed gaped slightly as Kai backed away from her, her jaw clenching quickly as she narrowed her eyes on him at his actions and statement. “That’s not fair…” She stated, shaking her head. Moving toward him once again, she went for his hand in an attempt to bring him somewhere a little more out of the open. “You’re not getting away that easily.”

[dearsociopathmalachai]

He moved the last second, so her hand grasped only air, and his smirk grew wider. “Who said I play fair?” He asked as he began to walk backwards, towards the main street, his hands and eyebrow still raised. “I think I am!” 

[thecullensdearmaggie]

The redhead growled in playful frustration as she realized she had missed. Taking a moment to herself, she straighten her posture and smoothed her skirt. A small smile of fake politeness graced her freshly painted lips.

“Suit yourself.” She shrugged, walking backwards a few paces before turning on her heel. Waving flirtatious at a man on her right who was obviously checking her out, she blew him a kiss as well.

[dearsociopathmalachai]

Kai shrugged at his nickname, truthfully he was soulless so he didn’t mind it.

“Caught your scent, thought we could have some fun together again!” He said smirking. He raised an eyebrow at her actions but didn’t stop her, curious to see how far she would go.

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie forced a smile as she nodded along to what the woman in front of her was saying. It was some suburban mom with a valley girl accent who thought that her and the redhead were friends because they had exchanged ‘hellos’ one time when Maggie was dropping Penny off at daycare. She could not even remember the woman’s name and was just hoping for an escape. “Mhmm, yeah. I totally get that.”

[dearsociopathmalachai]

Kai walked through town when he caught a familiar scent. Smiling to himself he started to follow it until he reached what looked like a daycare. In front of it stood the redhead whose scent he followed with another woman who appeared to be talking her ears off. The redhead looked desparate for a rescue. He smiled again and started walking towards her. “Hey Red, missed me?”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie had been so focused on pretending to care about what the woman was talking about that she had not even notice the familiar scent until ‘soulless boy’ spoke. Her head snapped up, a smile of sheer relief forming on her lips. “Hello, darling. I’m so glad you made it, I was beginning to worry you got lost.”

She put on her biggest fake smile she could muster as she made her way over to him quickly in hopes of pulling him away before more questions were asked. She could just hear the woman saying something along the lines of ‘oh, is this Penny’s father?’ as she brushed past the annoyance of a human being. Her shoulder making more forceful contact than needed.

[dearsociopathmalachai]

Kai gave her a questioning look but after seeing her fake smile he just went along with it, allowing her to pull him away from the human. “What? No playing today?” He asked, voice low enough so only she could hear. 

At the humans words though he stopped, looking at the redheaded girl questioningly. Before she could answer though he turned to the woman behind them. “Whose father do you think I am?”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

With her hand wrapped around his arm, the redhead just hoped she could get out of there before that woman said anything unreasonable. At the question, she hoped he would not hear, but when he stopped that hope diminished quickly. Her eyes fluttered shut when he looked at her, making it obvious this was not a topic she wished to discuss.

”Maggie’s daughter- Penelope… Penny. But I guess not since you’re having to ask.” The woman replied before giving Maggie a highly judgmental look. The redhead had opened her eyes as soon as the women started talking, but she glanced to the side when the woman tried to make eye contact. Wrapping her arms around herself, the redhead shifted uncomfortably. “You know, Maggie. I thought more highly of you. What would that sweet little four year old girl think of her mommy if she could see her like this.”

[dearsociopathmalachai]

Kai looked back to the redhead, who he now knew was named Maggie, and then back to the human. The fact that, Maggie, had a daughter suprised him and he would definitely comment on it later but the look the human gave her as well as her words irritated him. So he turned to the redhead once again and gave her a devilish grin. “Probably that her mommy is the best person in the world. Unlike what your children no doubt think of you.” He answered the human. 

“And I had to ask because sometimes Maggie brings my daughter with her when she drops off Penny since I start work pretty early, I thought you might be refering to her. Apparently not.” He lied easily, he wrapped a hand around the redhead tugging her close. “And we’ve been together for about a year and Penny likes me and her mommy together so you really shouldn’t comment on things you know nothing about!”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Typically, she would not be able to help smiling back at that grin of his, but this was not one of those times. Her perfectly painted lips were still in a frown and her arms were still wrapped around her stomach when he started talking, catching her completely by surprise.

The smile that formed on her lips when he tugged her close was something that would have happened if she had tried to stop it or not. There was just something natural about it to her and she knew now that she would not be able to fight the fact that she was starting to feel something towards him. The redhead tilted up her head, pressing a kiss to his jawline for looks before looking back at the woman with a smirk, her head laying on the crook of his neck.

The woman just stood there with her jaw hanging open for a few moments before picking up her phone and putting it to her ear, no doubt faking the phone call to save some of her dignity.

[dearsociopathmalachai]

Kai smiled waiving to the human who was now walking away in shame. He turned around, smiling at the redhead. He started walking, his hand still around her waist. “So, Maggie…” He said her name pointingly. “You have a kid! And you didn’t tell me…naughty girl!” He smirked.

[thecullensdearmaggie]

The redhead could not help but smile back him before rolling her eyes at the way he said her name. “Oh, darling, you have no idea.” She bit back in response to his last comment, the way her teeth snapped shut and her lips curled making it obvious she was once agin slipping back into her seductive persona.

She shrugged before she continued speaking. “As far as my daughter is concerned, I didn’t feel the information was relevant at the time. Also, need i point out that I still don’t know your name?”

[dearsociopathmalachai]

“We talked about killing children..” He pointed out. “You didn’t think mentioning you have one would be relevant?” He asked raising an eyebrow.

“Malachai Parker.” He answered with a smirk. 

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“Beside the point considering my daughter is almost wholly vampire.” She responded with a smirk before stopping to look at him, turning in his arm. She placed a hand on his chest, playing with the fabric of his shirt.

”Pleased to officially meet you.” She said with a smirk, looking up at him through her thick eyelashes, her lips in a slight pout.

[dearsociopathmalachai]

“Interesting…” He said, mostly to himself, he knew vampires could have kids now, but he had never met one. He stopped and looked down at her with a smirk. 

“Nice to meet you too Red!” He replied, still smirking, using her nickname on purpoce 

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“Soulless boy.” She shot back, her smirk only growing as she leaned forward slightly, every one of her words and movements screaming with sensuality.

”So... what brought you around this time?” She said a flirtatious voice, trailing her finger down his chest and abdomen before lifting her hand and tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie forced a smile as she nodded along to what the woman in front of her was saying. It was some suburban mom with a valley girl accent who thought that her and the redhead were friends because they had exchanged ‘hellos’ one time when Maggie was dropping Penny off at daycare. She could not even remember the woman’s name and was just hoping for an escape. “Mhmm, yeah. I totally get that.”

”Maggie’s daughter- Penelope… Penny. But I guess not since you’re having to ask.” The woman replied before giving Maggie a highly judgmental look. The redhead had opened her eyes as soon as the women started talking, but she glanced to the side when the woman tried to make eye contact. Wrapping her arms around herself, the redhead shifted uncomfortably. “You know, Maggie. I thought more highly of you. What would that sweet little four year old girl think of her mommy if she could see her like this.”

Maggie & Jessica

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie hugged back before catching Peggy in her arms as she ran up to them, lifting her high into the air before resting her daughter on hip. “Come on, Darling One. We’re going home with Aunt Jess.”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie forced a smile as she nodded along to what the woman in front of her was saying. It was some suburban mom with a valley girl accent who thought that her and the redhead were friends because they had exchanged ‘hellos’ one time when Maggie was dropping Penny off at daycare. She could not even remember the woman’s name and was just hoping for an escape. “Mhmm, yeah. I totally get that.”

Kai walked through town when he caught a familiar scent. Smiling to himself he started to follow it until he reached what looked like a daycare. In front of it stood the redhead whose scent he followed with another woman who appeared to be talking her ears off. The redhead looked desparate for a rescue. He smiled again and started walking towards her. “Hey Red, missed me?”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie had been so focused on pretending to care about what the woman was talking about that she had not even notice the familiar scent until ‘soulless boy’ spoke. Her head snapped up, a smile of sheer relief forming on her lips. “Hello, darling. I’m so glad you made it, I was beginning to worry you got lost.”

She put on her biggest fake smile she could muster as she made her way over to him quickly in hopes of pulling him away before more questions were asked. She could just hear the woman saying something along the lines of ‘oh, is this Penny’s father?’ as she brushed past the annoyance of a human being. Her shoulder making more forceful contact than needed.

Maggie & Jessica

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“Thank you so much, Jess. I know I’ve said it multiple times, but still…” Maggie stayed quiet as Jessica had a moment to herself before squeezing her hand reassuringly. The redhead paused for a moment looking for the right words. She ended up shrugging nonchalantly. “Nothing much. I just- I just really wanted to come back to Forks.”

[bellasdearfriendjessica]

“I’m glad you’re back!” Jessica said, squeezing her hand back. “What, no one hot enough to be worth a mention?” She jokingly asked raising an eyebrow. “Or has motherhood kept you that busy?”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“Oh, men are fine anywhere- however, I’m still searching for my mate. But it’s little hard to find someone who’s willing to stick around once they find out you have a daughter… or how sadistic you can be.” She added the last comment in a low tone. “I did have an interesting run in with a rather attractive man, I’ve dubbed ‘soulless boy’ not too long after I got back to Forks.”

[bellasdearfriendjessica]

Jessica laughed a little hearing her last comment. “You just haven’t found the right ones!” She said winking. Hearing her friends words she gasped, hitting her shoulder lightly, even though she knew it didn’t hurt Maggie. “You’ve been back for what? A day? And you find a new guy and I’ve been here for years and can’t find a single one! Not fair!”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“That’s pretty fair.” The redhead said with a small chuckle before breaking into a full out laugh as her friend smacked her. “Okay, okay. But he’s a sociopath, Jess. Albeit, an incredibly hot, nay sexy as hell, sociopath. But still a sociopath. I could get with that so hard though.” She tilted her head back and groaned. “He was fun to flirt with, and I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing him again.”

[bellasdearfriendjessica]

“Stop laughing at me!” Jessica said, hitting her again. “That is so not fair! You get the sexy as hell sociopath and I get my ex asking me for dating advice!” She stopped for a second, realising how absurd the situation was and began laughing. “Honestly I don’t blame you, I’d probably do the same!”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“I’m not laughing at you!” Maggie exclaimed, holding her hands up in defense even though she was still laughing as hard as ever. “I don’t really have him as it is though…. yet. But how long do you really think that’s going to last once he finds out I have a child? If I ever see him again as it is.” She questioned her friend as she raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow.

[bellasdearfriendjessica]

Jessica hit her again, just to prove a point, even though she was laughing just as hard as Maggie was. “Yet being the key word here!” She said, raising her eyebrows suggestively. “Well it depends I guess. Maybe he has a soft spot for kids.”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“Hopefully… I certainly would not complain about that.” The redhead laughed, pausing to take an unnecessary breath before shaking her head. “I very well would not know. That would be a conversation I had with him later on, if everything works out.”

[bellasdearfriendjessica]

Jessica hummed in agreement, tuning around to look at where the children were playing. “Well what do you say we get that little angel of yours and go have our disney marathon?” She asked turning back to the redhead. “Don’t worry I have booze for after Penny goes to sleep!” She winked.

[thecullensdearmaggie]

“That’s probably for the best, I don’t want her staying up too late tonight anyway. She’s still suffering from Jetlag.” Maggie said before standing up and calling for her daughter before looking down at Jess in relief. “Thank god for you, Jessica Stanley.”

[thecullensdearmaggie]

Maggie forced a smile as she nodded along to what the woman in front of her was saying. It was some suburban mom with a valley girl accent who thought that her and the redhead were friends because they had exchanged ‘hellos’ one time when Maggie was dropping Penny off at daycare.
