Working Hard (Maria and Leon)

[Maria Arceneau]

It had been some time since Maria was inducted into the Becker household and she was very happily cleaning everything that she could to make him as happy as possible, however she was still very sad that he was stressed because of work...

He had not brought any ladies back with him and she was glad of that because Maria unwittingly and undersiably had formed somewhat of a crush on her handsome German employer that would be impractical and awful to act upon...however much she wanted to.

Now she pulled her apron tight around her waist and tied it behind her, smiling lightly she curled her hair slightly from putting it in a plait last night when wet, and in the candle light she rushed to begin her chores wondering if Leon would be asleep.

[Leon Becker]

Leon had just gotten home from work and he realised that it was the dead of night. He had to stiffle a groan when he saw that it was close to midnight. Maria would be fast asleep so he'd most likely have to apply a silencing charm to himself so as to not wake her up with his noise. However a small sound from upstairs made him pause a second and, realising that it was coming from Maria's room, Leon quickly made his way up to her room and knocked twice before opening the door. He would not stand by if it turned out his lovely maid was in danger.

Seeing that she was in no danger he relaxed a little bit and drank in the sight of Maria. She was dressed in her work clothes and the apron around her front was on tightly enough that it showed off her amazing curves. He smiled at her,

"Ah sorry to wake you." he told her quietly, "But just because I've woken you doesn't mean that you have to work... I'm not a slave driver or anything am I?"

[Maria Arceneau]

Maria blushed when she heard a knock on her door and she wondred if it would be Leon, after all it was late and he was not yet back from work, she began to worry if he was any later than it was now, she hoped that it was him for that reason.

When the door opened, she smiled happily when she saw that ti was indeed Mr. Becker and it was lovely to know that he was back and safe here in the house.

Laughing lightly when he asked if he was a slave driver she shook her head and she didn't think he would have forgotten in this short period of time, but he was busy so he might not have been focusing on her as much as she would have liked;

"Good evening Leon, no no of course not! I told you that I work best at night monsieur, I am just getting up now to begin my household duties, don't allow me to keep you up." she smiled gently.

[Leon Becker]

When he noticed that Maria was smiling happily at him he smiled back with a grin. Maria was a delight to be around after all and when she was happy it seemed to make him happier.

When she laughed at his joke, a joke at his own expense, he smiled a little bit wider. She had a sense of humour too as well as perhaps the most amazing body as well. She truly was as close to perfect as was possible in some ways,

"Ah how silly of me." he smacked himself on the head lightly, "You must excuse me, it must be my brain acting poorly from all the work."

When she told him that she didn't want to keep him up he shrugged a little bit with a smile,

"What if I want you to keep me up all night?" He asked with a wicked grin as he teased her.

[Maria Arceneau]

Maria almost wanted to gasp a little and kiss Leon's head better when he whacked himself in the head if only in jest, and it did not look like it really hurt, she did not like to see him hurt himself, be it physically or be it mentally through all of the stress.

Biting her lip lightly, Maria clasped her hands behind her back and she hoped that the work would lessen more;

"I am sorry to hear that you are so busy Mr. Becker, I should have known however because I have not seen you around the house often this week."

Trying to hid her pout at this fact Maria paled, as vampires did when they blushed, and she wound a strand of hair around one of her pale slender fingers;

"Well then I hope you don't mind if I clean while I work." she smiled friendily.

[Leon Becker]

Leon could see that Maria was slightly distressed by the fact that he'd hit himself on the head. He wasn't hurt at all, it was more the symbolism of the whole thing for him. When she bit her lip he had to blink a little bit. He could have sworn that her teeth seemed a little bit sharper but he shrugged it off,

"Ah it's nothing really, just some peace talks with the British." he told her with a smile, "No the real effort is all the paperwork that comes with it. I should just do it at home, more comfortable and it means I don't have to worry you so much."

He chuckled a little bit. Although she seemed as pale as ever he could swear she was making a conscious effort not to blush by the way she was playing with her hair. He was making it something of a mission of his to make her blush,

"Of course not." he replied with a grin, "As long as you don't mind me talking at you all of the time after all."

[Maria Arceneau]

Maria gasped a little bit because she had not meant to show that she was worried about Leon, she had wanted to keep that secret and she hoped that she would be able to keep the rest of her emotions internalised, if he could tell how she felt...it was enough to even make a vampire blush.

"Ah no, you did not worry me I just could not help but notice that you have moved your things around but you were in in your room for me to clean it much." she said hurriedly.

Shaking her head, Maria smiled lightly, and made her way towards Leon in order to get out of the door, she needed to go downstairs to get the cleaning materials, she did everything by hand after all, no spells.

"I wont mind that a bit Mr. Becker, maybe we should move downstairs, I need to start after all, and you need to start to watch and try to distract me." she giggled.

[Leon Becker]

The little gasp made him smile a little bit. Oh he wanted to make her gasp a lot more than that but that was something he would have to ignore for now. It wouldn't be right to try and seduce Maria. His heart was conflicted however, torn between both Maria and Momo,

"Oh so you weren't worried at all by my absense?" he teased her before grinning, "Just playing with you. Ah right that makes sense I suppose."

Realising that most of Maria's equipment was downstairs, Leon followed her down the stairs towards her stockpiled cleaning equipment. He chuckled a little bit before smirking,

"Try to distract you?" he smirked before teasing her, "Maria we both know that you get distracted by my animal magnetism alone!"

[Maria Arceneau]

Maria gasped when she heard that Leon might have taken offense to the idea that she did not worry about him in his absence from the home, perhaps she should not tell him just how much she missed him however...or should she tell him at all?

"Oh no of course I was a little worried as an employee should be when her employer is nowhere too be seen, so do not think that I did not think of you and your health while you were away."

Bending to open the small cupboard, Maria opened it and took out her cloth, and her jug and began to fill it with water and a small amount of bleach, it was how she did the washing after all.

Maria turned and turned even paler, placing a hand on her cheek she let out a small giggle;

"If you're certain that's what it is Mr. Becker. I'm pretty sure it's just that you're talking to me while I'm trying to concentrate."

[Leon Becker]

And again she gasped and Leon couldn't help but chuckle a little bit, mean though he probably was. Oh well not many people thought he was a nice guy anyway. He smiled a little bit wider,

"I'm so glad that you were concerned about me Maria." He couldn't help but purr slightly in a husky voice, "It always makes a man feel good about himself when a beautiful woman worries about his health."

When Maria bent over to open the cupboard Leon couldn't help but look at her tight ass. She had one hell of an ass after all. He had to divert his eyes quickly when she looked up, lest she catch him looking,

"Well are you sure it's that I'm talking to you?" he asked with a smirk, "Are you sure it's not that you're distracted by my presense?"

[Maria Arceneau]

Maria almost wanted to squeak when Leon whispered in such a way to her, she knew however that he was rather fond of someone else at work and she did not want to get into a battle with another woman over the heart of Leon, she knew that she would lose after all.

"Well I'm glad that you feel so good about that Monsieur Becker, I shall continue to worry about you and your health then." she smiled gently, beginning to dust the hall with the wet cloth and bleach.

Bending over to begin cleaning the table in the hall and the little nicknacks that were upon it, Maria smiled gently and couldn't help but shake her head with a small laugh when he kept on at the same topic;

"Monsieur anyone would say that you wanted me to be distracted by your presence, how unprofessional of you."

[Leon Becker]

He could tell that Maria seemed to want to react in some way to his words but it wasn't with the blush that he wanted, which made Leon pout slightly. He grinned a little bit,

"Well I hope to not worry you too much." he replied with a smirk, "I really don't want to occupy your thoughts all of the time, you'd be sick of me within the hour!"

When she bent over the table he couldn't help but groan ever so slightly, prompting him to bit his bottom lip so that the sound didn't come out. He managed a shaky chuckle,

"Oh I don't doubt that I'm unprofessional." he told her with a grin, "I've been told I do some very unprofessional things. Feel some unprofessional things too..."

[Maria Arceneau]

Maria looked up from dusting and she raised an eyebrow when she saw that Leon seemed to be pouting for some unknown reason, was he upset that she was doing the dusting in another way than she should be doing?

"I don't think that I would be able to get sick of you Mr. Becker, I am sure that you are a very interesting man." she smiled gently, squeezing out the cloth before wetting it again.

Hearing his very shaky chuckle Maria turned her head from dusting the other side of the table, she hoped that he was alright and was not coming down with anything;

"Are you quite alright Mr. Becker, would you like something to eat? You have been eating have you not?" she asked, trying to get away from the topic of unprofessionalism, lest she turn that way herself.

[Leon Becker]

He coughed a little bit and blushed slightly. He was not used to being caught while pouting and it was not something he'd like to make a habit out of. After all, who would respect the leader of a country who pouted so very much like a child,

"That's sweet of you to say Maria, I would dearly love for you to be here for a long time yet." he replied with a smile before chuckling, "Interesting huh? I usually just get called weird."

His own blush was back again when she turned to him, having been alerted that something was wrong by the way his chuckle sounded. Leon smiled a little bit,

"Well I was fairly busy at the office and I guess I didn't really..." he turned away sheepishly, "Well... eat at all..."

[Maria Arceneau]

Maria blinked a little bit and couldn't help but let her fangs grow a little bit in her mouth when she smelt Leon blushing even more, it looked as if he would be tasty but she quickly placed the thought from her mind and she ran her hand through her curled hair, placing the cloth back in the water.

"Yes interesting, I would never call you weird Monsieur, even if I think it." she teased lightly, being very bold for her "Of course I jest, I don't even think that you are weird Mr. Becker."

Smelling his blood rushing to the cheek more and more Maria turned away from him to place her fangs in check and when Maria heard that he had not eaten at all, she gasped a little bit and hurried into the kitchen;

"Mr. Becker! I don't wish to intrude where I am not wanted but it is important for you to eat three meals a day, I will make you something right now to eat, what do you want me to prepare for you sir?"

[Leon Becker]

Leon was convinced earlier that his eyes had been playing tricks on him but right then, in that moment, he was convinced what he'd seen was right. But when she ran her hand through her hair his eyes followed the movement of her hand for a second. By the time he checked her mouth again her teeth were normal,

"Ah well as long as you only think it then that's alright." he joked lightly before chuckling and waving her apology away, "It's fine Maria, I think that I'm weird so you can think it too."

He felt a little bit sad when she turned away from him. Did she think that he was too weird to hang around with or something? He scratched the back of his head sheepishly when she gasped, following her into the kitchen cautious,

"I know it's important... I was just busy at the time..." he tried to argue before sighing and grinning at her, "You stick to your wand I'll give you that Maria. Can I have some scrambled eggs please? And make some for yourself if you're hungry."
