Another Coincidence

[Mallory Malkin]

Mallory was out early in the morning, jogging. She liked jogging, it kept her fit and energized her. She had done an hour extra today because the weather was very fine, summer. She loved summer, when Andrew would come back to live with her and she wouldn't feel lonely anymore.

Mallory jogged further on the green grass on right side of the wide street walk. Suddenly she felt dizzy, everything around her started spinning and she fell. She became unconcious but she could realize she hadn't hit the ground, there was someone who had saved her.

 

[Mortimer Bones]

Mortimer was on a morning walk. He did this when he had too much on his mind. Not that he needed these walks too much any more. Alex had moved out and Mortimer had been left to either keep the little place they where living at or find a new place to live. Mortimer had chosen to find a new place to live. A proper house not too far from Brightstone Village because weather Zazuka knew it or not they where watching her to make sure that she was safe. He had been wondering down another street when he saw a woman jogging.

A very pretty woman in fact that he couldn't for the life of him place. Mortimer then remembered. She was the woman that he had met in the Cauldron not too long ago. That and she also was the woman he had deduced at Mallory Malkin. A year younger than himself and an arch rival of Alex's for years as he had come to understand. But Alex had gotten over as had he suspected Mallory. Mallory at the moment seemed to be tired. He scanned her quickly and realized that she had no taken in enough water. Acting without thinking he caught her when Mallory fell. He brushed the hair that had fallen over her eyes. Mortimer took his wand out of his pocket and set a short burst of water over Mallory's face to wake her up. He did notice how ever now easily Mallory seemed to fit in his arms.

Mallory felt cool water on her face as she regained consicousness. She realized that she was in someone's arms, a man's. She looked at her savior, she remembered the man. It was Mortimer. She stared into his eyes for a whole minute or more, just being there in his arms made her feel so comfortable. His face was so close to her, he could feel his breath, maybe even he had been jogging.[/color]

 

[Mortimer Bones]

When they eyes met Mortimer felt his mouth go dry for a moment. He helped Mallory to her feet them coughted into his hand to get rid of the dry mouth feeling. "Are you ok?" He asked in his low grumble of a voice. Though he could tell that it was a little tight. Mortimer had shuned all female contact since his devorce with Cloudia that was not with his sister. Being this close to one that he thought attractive made Mortimer feel aquward.

Mallory stood up straight as she balanced herself on the ground. She was not shocked of fainting but of making eye contact with Mortimer, which she had just done. What might he be thinking of me? She thought this when he asked if she was fine. Her voice was lost somewhere, after what seemed like a minute she replied "Yeah, I am fine" and looked at him hoping he wasn't looking at her.

"Thanks for that" she said with a smile still feeling nervous about her fall.[/color]
