Getting Her Man
She could feel his eyes on her bum. Her every step was driven by an inner confidence, her hips swayed gracefully, and he was mesmerized. She disappeared around the bend in the hallway and checked the food. "It's ready," she called, poking her pink-topped head back around the corner to smile at him. "Why don't you get seated and open the wine?" He gave her a sexy smile, making her stomach lurch. It was all she could do not to squeal. She arranged the food on a serving tray. The meat was overdone, the vegetables underdone, and the mashed potatoes lumpy. She grimaced at the food but knew she had to plow ahead. She carried the tray to the table where he sat. The inevitable happened. She tripped, sending the tray, the food, and even the wine on the table, all over him.
With a yelp, Tonks jumped back as water spilled over her. She had not been paying attention and had overfilled the sink. She flicked off the water and returned to her dirty dishes with a sigh. How was she ever going to get Remus in reality if she could not do it right in her own daydreams?
