《Mrs. Maximoff》Thirty-two
Advertisement
Wanda stayed in my room for probably an hour, we caught up on everything that we had missed and she even told me about how Jules and Morgan kept convincing her to talk to me.
Of course they did, I would expect nothing less from them.
We eventually talked about work too, she said she was planning new articles and some improvements for the whole company which really got me hooked.
I actually missed going to work.
That was where I met Jules and where we shared so many beautiful moments, but obviously, that was also where I met her.
I can still feel her deep voice echoing in my ears, those words replaying over and over again.
Who knew that in a couple of weeks she would be sitting on a chair next to my bed in a hospital room? And also fought one of her journalists.
She made it very clear that it wasn't her intention to hurt Ari, she was just mad about the whole situation and Ari unfortunately happened to be the person driving the car.
She recognized it probably wasn't the best thing to do, so she will apologize to her when the time comes.
And when the time does, I should probably talk to Ari too.
I just don't want to make her think I played her or something like that, because I didn't.
Even though I was hesitant at first, I really thought something could happen for a moment.
Was I going to look like a bad person? I didn't even think about forgiving Wanda, because I had been longing for her. Not being in touch with her was hurting me even though I told myself it wasn't that big of a deal, because that's what everyone starts believing.
I wished that I could erase, every gesture, every word, everything that ever happened, but I was never going to be able to just block that out from my head.

In my point of view, everything needs to be remembered, everything needs to be felt. The good parts and the bad parts. We just have to recognize when they could potentially hurt us, and I don't think Wanda, who is part of my life, will.
"Y/N? Did you hear what I said?" Wanda's voice stopped my train of thoughts and I immediately looked at her.
"What?" She giggled at my confusion.
"You okay? You zoned out for a bit."
"Just thinking..."
"About?"
"Too many questions, let's move on. What were you saying?" I asked her, and even though I could tell she was annoyed at how I changed the subject, she didn't complain.
"I asked if you were hungry, you didn't really answer me before when I asked you. I can bring you something." Wanda said and lovingly looked at me.
Oh, how have I missed that.
"I don't wanna bother though." I sighed, slightly letting my head down as I did.
"You could never bother me." She stated with the same look in her eyes.
"Well then...I guess I am kind of hungry."
Before she could speak we heard someone barge in the room, slamming the door.
"My babygirl! Oh, honey, I came as soon as River told me."
My mom.
I hadn't seen her in a long time, and this definitely wasn't the situation in which I wanted our reunion to happen.
"Mom, I'm fine, I swear." I tries to reassure her, but it was too late. She was already squeezing me into her arms.
"I have missed you so much Y/N/N! Don't ever do this again!"
"Well, it technically wasn't my fault because I wasn't the one driving." I reminded her, but by the look on her face, I realized that I didn't remind her, I had told her.

"You didn't know?"
"Who was driving?"
"My...friend was."
"Is this friend of yours here?"
"...No."
"Y/N."
"She's in the waiting room. But mom please don't! Wanda already made her day even worse than it already was." I informed her, and she looked confused.
"Wanda?"
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Y/L/N." Wanda made her presence known, holding out her hand for my mom to shake.
"Oh, hello. Sorry I didn't notice you were here. Nice to meet you too, Wanda. I finally get to know the famous Wanda Maximoff." They shook hands and I started to feel this tingling sensation in me.
This surely wasn't how I expected them to meet if I ever imagined how that could have gone.
"Don't worry, I was just about to leave. It was a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Y/L/N. I'll leave you two alone now. Bye Y/N." She walked to me, kissed my forehead, and smiled at me, making me blush.
Which wasn't the worst part.
The worst part was that my mom had just witnessed that.
As soon as Wanda closed the door my mom started loading me with questions, because she was my mom and that was what moms did, ask their kids questions they didn't want to be asked.
"Y/N Y/L/N! Explain right now why CEO Wanda Maximoff just kissed your forehead!" My mom jokingly slapped my arm, maybe while raising her voice a little too high.
"Well..."
"Don't "well" me! Just say it!"
"Okay, well..."
"Seriously?" She mocked me in a flat tone.
"I can't help it. Anyways, we may or may not have had something going on...we never dated, we had a fight actually. Wanda apologized just minutes before you stormed in." I briefly explained to her.
"You had something going on? With Wanda Maximoff? Oleg Maximoff's daughter?"
"Yeah, what's so weird?"
"She's your literal boss, honey. Doesn't that scare you a little bit?" My mom questioned me.
"Mom, I'm an adult, I think I can make good choices for myself. And no, it doesn't. I mean, look at Pepper and Tony...they made it work. They even had stupid Morgan!"
"Don't call them that!"
"I'm just joking, you know that!"
"Point is, mom, I just forgave her. Like, I didn't even think about it. The girl who was driving...we went on a date. She works at Oleg Resources too, I thought we could be something for a moment, but it all faded away when I saw Wanda again. So no mom, it doesn't scare me. It doesn't scare me that people are going to talk about it, that people will look at me weird and even think I slept my way into this job. I really don't care about that, I never did. I do care about Wanda, though. So much."
"If she makes you say all these things then I guess she's okay."
"She's more than okay."
"So, tell me about her..."
