A Stone's Throw Away (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[Mr.Aznable]

He smiled a bit. "Ah.. Hello Mary.." He said quietly.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She hesitated before sitting beside him anyway, "I'm so glad you could come..." She smiled.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Thank you for reaching out to me.." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Oh, you're so welcome...! I'm so glad to see you here.." She was just bursting at the seams.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He smiled a bit and made a point to start coming more frequently.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She was always there to greet him, smiling from ear to ear when she saw him. It made him feel funny.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He couldn't be falling for her. Not only was she a sister, but he was a divorcee. There was no waym

 

[PoisonousIvee]

It wasn't any easier for her either. She grew up in a nunnery, so she was very isolated from men unless it was a visiting bishop or father. She wasn't really allowed to be with other men so socially.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

But he was attractive. A gentle soul, wrapped up in a working man's shell.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Lord, give me strength..." She muttered, "He's such a kind man..."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He made a noise. "Can't be letting myself fall for her.." He said to himself.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

They spent as much time as allowed together, talking and just trying to make friends with each other. It was hard with growing feelings.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

It continued to grow harder, as his business was growing again, and the Father requested that she visit him.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She went knocking on his door, nervous he was going to turn her away or refuse to come back.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He came to the door and smiled. "Ah , hello Sister.." He said with a grin.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Julius, hello!" She smiled brightly, "May I come in?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Of course..! Come now.." He said, moving out of the door way.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I hope I'm not intruding.." She said, "We noticed you stopped coming to Mass and we were worried.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I know, and I'm terribly sorry.. My clients are horribly demanding.." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I'm sorry..." She frowned, "If you like, I can ask the Father to allow me to come here on Sundays and preform Mass with you?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

His heart pounded. Keep calm. "Well.. Sure, I certainly don't mind.." He smiled.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She smiled brightly and he about dropped dead, "Wonderful! I will see you Sunday then!"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Yes of course..! See you Sunday, Sister Mary.." He said with a smile.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She nodded and bid him farewell before leaving again.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He sat back. Things were going to get difficult.
