SOMEWHERE far away far far away a woman in her bed That could be seen She was sleeping peacefully right beside her husband then all of a sudden she heard something something that she wanted to hear for a long time grandbabies my son grandbabies my precious daughter in law fulfill the prophecy That has been spoken soon we will have order and cuteness in this family Once again and no one will stand in our way nowhere with we'll hail the Arc family bloodlines as king's, all hail the Glory off the empire, hahahahahahah ...
"Dear just go to bed we have a big day tomorrow "
Told her husband while he was sleeping He knows what she was thinking.
"Yes honey "
About a second thought she went back to bed sleeping soundly and she will still plotting the way for to get what she needs.
BACK TO THE CENTRAL HOSPITAL
POV
"Hey jaune You were speaking out a bit something that matter ?" Rudy asked As she was concerned for him.
"Yes .. everything is fine there was only ...a disturbance in the force " told serious face jaune
Winter understood where he was coming from as well as She felt that herself There's a disturbance in the force and the more as she thinks about it the more she understands that it has to be with the Arc family They're asking for a grandbabies.
She needs to get Jaune in fast bed so she can continue with they left off the last time
"Is that the only reason?" Blake asked.
Winter snorted. "Of course it is and You're coming as well now ?"
"Might as well join I can't be the only one on the old team not to."
Yang's voice almost broke. "You guys..."Ahem," Miss winter coughed, drawing attention to her. "While this is all very inspiring and such, I can't help but think you've missed my point about lessons and your duty's. Your desire to help Mr Arc speaks well of you all, but your education is just as important, if not more so."
"Please, Miss wiess big sister...," Ruby begged, hands held together before her chest. "Please..."
"I am not going to be swayed by begging, Miss Rose."
"Then how about reasoning it?" Blake offered. "Look at Yang. She isn't going to be able to concentrate in her duty if she's thinking about how someone can't earn the money they need to live because of her and She'll be next to useless. Would it not be better to let her handle this? People have days off at work for sickness and they're able to catch up. We can, too."
Yang nodded eagerly. "I'll catch up. You know my handy work are good, miss specialist."
"They are," winter conceded. "Despite your behaviour at the front lines is another entirely..."
Yeah, well, how she acted and what she submitted were two different things. Her Dad and Uncle were teachers, and while you didn't want your parents to know you were getting low grades at work, you definitely didn't want to hand in crappy homework to your family or an empty paycheck to your landlords. Like it or not, she was smart. Ruby wasn't the only hard-worker in the family at all.
Winter looked to them, and then looked over to Jaune, who had been cautiously silent the entire time. There was no telling what he thought of the idea, but the fact he hadn't interrupted probably meant he liked it or He was more afraid. That or he had no choice. He needed to stay open. He couldn't afford not to and Perhaps she saw that in his expression, for the woman to pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.
"One day," she said.
Yang and Ruby cheered.
"One day!" Winter went on, "And no matter what Mr Arc's state, no more. You will also have detentions with me this weekend to catch up on the missed work's, and I will personally test you on it at the end and Should you score anything less than ninety per cent, I shall keep you in for consecutive weekends. Am I understood?"Yang nodded. She didn't care. She was too happy, too relieved, too many things and all of them confusing. Either way, she had her permission, and with everyone else helping her as well, this was bound to be a cinch. "Thank you, Miss winter," she said. "I won't let you down."
"We won't," Ruby amended. "Ooh, this is going to be so cool!"
( You better not This is his life on the line again I will not let you girls tarnish it even further you should learn to fix these problems on your own. ) she thought
"We'll need uniforms," Blake pointed out.
"Those will come out of your own expenses," Glynda said, "and I do mean yours. Mr Arc has trouble enough without being forced to clothe you."
"I can handle it," ruby said easily, and she could with her finances. Four uniforms probably wouldn't make a dent on her weekly allowance, let alone her bank balance. "Thank you again, Miss winter schnee. I'm sure this won't happen again."
"It won't," Yang promised. Her eyes traced over to Jaune's arm, and she swallowed once more and It wasn't just the knowledge of what she'd done - that had faded with his easy forgiveness. It was more the feeling and the memory, both of which haunted her still. Even if she hadn't meant it, she could still remember the exact moment it happened and what she felt.
She'd never experienced anything like it before not for a long time ago. It was like taking a plastic doll and snapping it in two, except knowing that this was a real person - someone you genuinely liked, and who your little sister genuinely cared for and I did too, It was sickening. I never realised how strong we are and One mistake and I could kill someone like him. Gods, why did I never think of that when I caused that scene at Junior's bar? I unloaded in the air to make the customers run, but what if they'd trampled one another's to death in the doorway?
She'd have been a murderer and Even if she didn't pull the trigger, people had a tendency to run wild when panicked and If a single person has fallen, the others would surely have crushed them. The thought made her shiver a bit.
Jaune noticed. "Yang, it's fine," he whispered. "You didn't mean it."
"I didn't, but that doesn't really excuse me." She sighed and flipped some hair back. "I think I need to apologise to those two, as well."
"Miltia and Melanie?"
Yang grimaced, but managed a nod. "They're friends of yours, right?"
"They are..."She closed her eyes. "You know what they are. Don't you?"
"I do..." Jaune swallowed loudly. "They're not bad people. Or, well, maybe they are, but not to me. They've helped me out a few times, and they're customers." He sighed. "It's complicated."
"Eh, you don't really have to explain yourself to me. They're your friends, not mine but Still, I messed up and you got hurt. Helping you out like this is the least I can do." Her smile faltered. "If that's okay, I mean. We didn't exactly give you much of a choice in the matter at all."
His smile washed away her doubt. "It's more than okay," he said. "I was worried what being closed tomorrow would mean and If you guys can help out, even if it's just with the heavy lifting and stuff, that would be amazing. I really appreciate it."
"Ugh, how can you make it sound like I'm the one doing you a favour when I put you in this spot in the first place?"
"I told you-"
"It's fine, I know." She smirked and made to flick his forehead, then thought better of it. "I still think you should be a little more pissed at me, but maybe this is part of your charm. I basically assaulted you."
"Well Ruby knocked me out the first time I met her at my restaurant."
"JAUNE!" Ruby cried, cheeks aflame. "You said you wouldn't tell them or anyone!"
"Ah, I forgot!"
Ruby groaned. "Jauuune!"
"Knocked you out cold?" A tiny laugh escaped her, and like a damn, that washed away the fear and guilt she'd felt. A quick glance at Ruby showed her sister under Winter' suddenly demanding gaze, and she couldn't help but snort. "That's two for two on us injuring you. I wonder when Weiss and Blake will get a turn."
"I hope not"
Or
"Probably the next time I make a bad business decision for her sister."Or if you go out of business with flying colors." Yang grinned and drew out her scroll. "Anyway, lover boy give me your number in case you need us for anything and What time do we need to be at the diner tomorrow? Seven?"
"Five."
"Eh?"
"Five," Jaune replied, laughing awkwardly. "In the morning."
The scroll slipped from Yang's limp fingers. Deep inside, a part of her whimpered. Being in Vale for five meant waking up at four, maybe earlier if she wanted a long shower - and Winter would definitely enforce them all looking their best and Did that mean three or three-thirty? Either way, sleep would be nothing but a distant dream.
Still, it was just manning a shop for the day, and there were four of them to do it. Jaune did it most days on his own.
It couldn't be too hard right.
( A hell of pain this waiting for you this weekend 😈 a friendly message from the author )
After A few hours later Jaune was dispatched from the hospital so that he can go back home When he was leaving he met his old academy friend's who betrayed him but when he spoke to them when he spoke to Ruby and Blake they were changed they were new entirely they were like naive at all how the thought the world Maybe they saw the world what it was really" he thought to him self As They kept on speaking telling them to catch him up with him What happened a few years They told him that Yang got married to Blake she's basically her wife and Ruby is trying to apply at one of the academies then he asked what does Yang does They told him that she is a full-fledged huntress She stays at the borders basically she's always at the front lines after a little more conversation to check what time was it then to decided to cut the conversation there he said his goodbyes to his old friends Yang ,Ruby and Blake He saw that the twins left before them and they told him that if they need anything they just need to contact Junior.
Jaune just accepted it He knows if he did not there will be no stopping of teasing or any other disrespect they might think of it. then and they all left him there His wife winter stud quietly observing all of them as She observed them She noticed how Yang was so close to him and then she understood something yang wants something from him why would she come after all she has done all those years ago She did want to make amends he get that part but does she wants his bady If she's after that that makes more sense actually two females cannot reproduce so she's trying to find a a suitable male for their cause, She might even try to seduce him or I think she did now she will have more opportunities to get what she wants She did broke his arm Yes she's not so thrilled about it She did harm her husband and now she wants a kid from him Maybe I can put her in her place no winter no let's use this as an advantage let's see what we can do when we have the right add events for this.
But for him for Jaune she knows that he has a problem He has many problems after what happened to him his conference was actually broken The trauma is far too great for him and she knows that he needs someone she understands that she knows that he's go through a lot and she knows that he needs someone to help with his pipe cleaning She can't always be there but she was actually thinking of adding another partner with them She was discussing this with one of her friends and those girls told him that a boy will always go after another woman that's how they are the beasts.
That very conversation started something inside of her She thought that he might leave her for another woman entirely, since she married him she understood something that is one thing, jeune would never do anything like that at all He's too traumatized to even do anything right, after what happened at beacon and What happened after that and I need to help him to relieve that pain and anger she needs another partner basically she's looking for another wife for him to bond with, and She later understood that he has more stamina than her and he can go on for hours She needs to make sure he is properly satisfied and healed She will see if this woman is worthy of it or not She was as good rid of her but There's one thing that had on her mind who is her husband's boss and what does she knows about her I need to find out.
She told him that she will drive him to there do their new apartment Jaune refused He told her that he needs some things to be done at the restaurant so can be burden tomorrow with it, She was hesitant at first then she understood so she asked " it's related to work" he nodded his head yes Then she accepted She told him to be safe and she will drive him there.
As they made it towards her car who he thinks is actually a rental then her own because it's white in case of color it might be a car from Atlas military entirely He doesn't knows when he got in he saw as that she was checking for any injuries or anything that was disturbing him She even buckled him up with the seat belt to make sure he was protected and when she started her car drove out of the parking lot then to the road, she was driving very carefully like a scary little girl she meant make a mistake at any time after a 25 minutes later he was outside of his restaurant Winter told him that she will send a cab or a driver to pick him up after he's done with his work and be safe and come back home she like be waiting, He accepted by nodded Then as he saw how she left him by the time ,as she was gone Jaune picked up his spare keys and went to opened the doors to the restaurant.
NEXT ????¿?
12:00 am
POV
Jaune stretched his muscles and fought back a yawn as the clock struck ten. Another day over, and another till filled with lien and That wasn't to say he'd turned a real profit yet, but he was on the right track. It was about half way through the month, and if things carried on like they were, he'd turn a small one - enough to cover his bills and keep going, anyway.
He didn't bother to flip the sign over on the door, and instead moved around the diner, stacking chairs and wiping tables clean. He left one table free, however, with two seats next to it.
If his memory served him correct...
The bell rang.
"See? I told you he'd still be open."
"Technically, I'm closed right now," Jaune said without any heat but He smiled at the little girl who skipped up to him and tilted her head to the side. "There's plenty of ice-cream in the freezer unit and Pick which flavours you want and I'll mix it up for you."
Neo clapped her hands together and rushed away, and not for the first time, he had to remind himself that she was actually older than he was.
"Thanks, kid," Roman said, sitting down on the table and reaching for a cigar. He paused when Jaune stared pointedly at him, and then sheathed it with a sigh. "There's no one else here. It's not like anyone would know."
"No, but I'd have to get rid of the smell. You know the rules, Roman." Jaune pushed an affogato over to the man, and passed him a spoon along with it. This was actually the third time Roman had visited, and he'd become something of a late night regular. From what Jaune understood, the two worked in the removals industry, but they had the night shift or something. They didn't talk about work much (not that Neo talked at all), and he understood why.
Who wanted to talk about work when you were relaxing?
Either way, their shift ended technically after his diner did, but they'd caught him closing for the day and Neo had looked so upset, he hadn't the heart to ask them to leave.
Of course, he'd been in for a bit of a rude awakening when he'd asked Roman what his daughter wanted. She'd not taken well to that, and only a liberal serving of ice-cream had been enough to cool her anger. Since then, she'd made it a conscious effort to remind him that she may have looked young, but that she definitely wasn't.
"Busy day?" Jaune called, moving over to the counter and scooping out ice-cream as Neo pointed.
"Don't even get me started, kid." Roman said. Naturally, he didn't need any more encouragement and did, in fact, get started. "Had to meet with something of a new customer today, and I'll be damned if she doesn't think she owns us. An arrogant piece of work if I've ever seen it."
For him to call someone arrogant, she had to be really bad.
"Can't you just refuse to work for her?"
"It's... not quite as simple as that. She has big money, not to mention influence. The kind of person you don't say no to, you know?"
"Sounds scary..."
"Oh, she is." Roman sipped at his drink and sighed. "To tell you the truth, I'd rather not deal with her at all, but like I said, I can't exactly say no. We need the work anyway, and if we're not involved, she'll just find someone else. Sure, they won't be as good as I am, but I kind of don't want to be on the opposite side from her."
"Now it just sounds complicated." Jaune placed the bowl on the counter and stuck some wafers into it. For added measure, he also took some pieces of chocolate and poked them out of the top, before he handed it to Neo.
She took it happily, and dragged him down by the apron.
When he straightened back up, it was with a crimson face, and him wiping one hand across his cheek. His legs honestly felt a little weak.
Roman, the bastard, laughed his ass off. "Oh, she's not letting you go for the daughter comment, is she?" He grinned and nudged the girl, who ignored him entirely and dug into her treat. "I've never seen her so affectionate, but then again I've never seen her so annoyed, either. You bring out the best and worst in her. Congrats."
He sat down opposite them, still rubbing his cheek and still not trying to look at the pretty girl. She was very small, but it had been more exhausted idiocy that had led to him calling her a child. There was no way he could misinterpret those curves, nor the way she swayed her hips when she moved.
It was far too late when he noticed her eyes locked onto his as She'd seen him looking - and seemed more than pleased and She casually ran her tongue over the spoon in punishment, making sure her mismatched eyes watched him as she did.
Jaune swallowed and tried to ignore the uncomfortable tightening in his pants. If Neo's smug look was any indication, she damn well knew.
"I-Is she ever going to stop getting me back for that? I said sorry."
"A wise man once told me that a man forgets but never forgives, while a woman forgives but never forgets." Roman paused to let the message sink in, and then smirked. "Neo, on the other hand, neither forgives nor forgets. you Will Get used to it."
She winked at him when he turned to look at her, and Jaune groaned to himself and He wasn't sure if it was heaven or hell, but it still left him red in the face and feeling like an idiot.
"How is business going?" Roman asked. "Anything good happen today?"
Jaune regaled the two with his tale of the day, mostly of the teachers from Beacon and their almost-fight and a arm When Roman first came, he and Neo had been almost wary around him, like they expected him to say or do something. When he hadn't, and when it was clear he wasn't going to, they'd quickly relaxed, and they'd become a regular fixture for the last one and half year.
And that's how the day went," Jaune finished, slumped over one of his tables as he nursed a cup of tea in one hand. His only hand, really. He thanked his lucky stars she'd dislocated the left, because he didn't fancy his chances with his off-hand.
"Sheesh, tough break," Roman commiserated, sat on the other side with his own mug in hand.
Neo was off by the display cabinets helping herself to ice-cream. He'd have normally done it for her, but she'd taken one look at him - zeroed in on his injury - and then practically forced him into a seat, and silently growled at him every time he made to stand. The one time he'd tried, she'd somehow managed to launch a knife from behind the counter and stick it into the table by his hand.
He hadn't tried again.
Fear was normal, especially after something hurt you. It was nothing but an automatic reaction, and there was no way in hell he was going to let that take over him - not when it came to dealing with someone he knew and liked. Even beyond being Ruby's sister, Yang was a good person. She had that older sister vibe he instantly recognised. He could tell she was the kind of girl to relentlessly tease Ruby on one hand, but come to her defence the moment anyone else tried the same.
She reminded him of his sisters, and if he'd seen any of them look so miserable, he'd have done everything he could to help them.
"And what about afterwards?" Roman asked, poking Jaune's dislocated arm. He winced, but more on instinct. He was still hopped up on so many painkillers that he barely felt it. "Injuries like that take time to heal. Twelve to fourteen weeks, I think."
"The Doctor said ten to twelve."
Roman rolled his eyes, and Jaune flushed. The difference was negligible, and didn't really answer his point anyway.
"I guess I'll have to get a new employee," he said. "I just need someone to work the mornings and help me get ready. I can clean up with one hand. A part-timer would do."
"Shouldn't be too hard," Roman said. "There are plenty of people looking for work."
"The problem is cost. I'm not sure I can afford it."
"Depends who you hire. You can get away with paying certain people less."
Jaune grimaced. "You mean faunus?"
"Nah, not that. I could tell from looking at you, you're not the type to try exploiting that. I was thinking more underage part-time. Being a waiter or waitress is like every kid's first job. Well, other than a news round."
"That's true..." Back home, some of his sisters had worked in restaurants. Sure, it didn't pay well, but the work was fairly simple and it was kind of meant to be an introduction to working life. In fact, most of the restaurants and diners in Ansel hired either family members or teenagers. You could pay them less, too.
"I warned you, though. Huntsmen and civilians don't mix."
"I know," Jaune groaned. "I also just knew you were going to rub that in. You couldn't resist an 'I told you so' moment, could you?"
"Nope. So, what're you going to do now?"
"Well, I have Team RWBY helping out tomorrow."
"And you expect that to go well?"
Admittedly no, but it couldn't be worse than not opening at all. He hadn't been lying when he said he didn't blame Yang, but it wasn't the entire truth either. There had been an immediate spike of panic when he saw her, but that had been buried under so much guilt the second he saw her expression, that he'd suffocated it.
They wisely pretended to have seen nothing.
"I think they'll try their best," he said. "I'll be keeping an eye on them, so it'll be enough. I just need them to help with lifting and stuff. I'll still be here mixing the drinks."
"If you decide to recruit, might want to do it around the schools in the area," Roman suggested. "Kids like that don't have the time for full-time work, but love a little bit of part-time on the side, especially if they need it for partying or stuff."
"I'll see how it goes with Team RWBY first," he said. Despite his caution, the idea had already started to take root, however. Team RWBY were only covering for the single day, but if he could get someone to help him with the heavy work in the morning, they could get back to whatever school they had later. He only needed two, maybe three hours. Less if he handled the lighter stuff. If someone worked five through seven, they could probably get back to in time for school. And then there were weekends, where he could give extra hours and maybe have a break or two of his own. Jaune laughed and downed his tea. "You've put the idea in my head now. Thanks."
"Roman Torchwick, always here to serve." He polished off his own coffee and popped a slice of cake in his mouth. He spoke around it, gesturing with one hand. "You're - hm - doing pretty well here." He swallowed. "For where you are, I mean. I know you're not sure how much you'll have made until the end, but I can't see you going out of business. Most waiters and waitresses make their money off tips anyway, so you wouldn't be losing that."
"Alright, alright, I get it." Jaune chuckled. "I'll put some fliers out. You sure you're not trying to lump a certain someone on me?"
The two of them turned to look at Neo, who had just pressed a button on an espresso machine. It spat and hissed wildly, and Neo leapt back, drawing a long, thin sword and holding it at the ready. When the machine failed to grow legs, arms, and sentience to try and kill her, she sheathed it awkwardly and glared at them.
"Even I wouldn't be that cruel," Roman said. "No, she's with me, heavens help me. I'm just worried the only place I can get a proper cup of coffee will go bust on me. Can't have that."
"There are probably over three hundred different restaurants, diners and cafes in Vale," Jaune said with a roll of his eyes. "I'm sure mine isn't the best coffee out of all of that."
"You'd be surprised. Besides, I'm here for the customer service."
"That doesn't even make any sense." Jaune sighed and gave up, especially when Roman started to laugh himself silly. The guy was pretty weird like that, but it felt nice to have someone to wind down with at the end of the day.
Funnily enough, Roman and Neo always looked like they were just waking up.
What kind of removals business operated at night?
Always when he was about to close, and always when he had no one else in the diner.
"Sounds interesting," Roman laughed. "You're certainly drawing your fair share of attention, kid. You sure you want to be the kind of place that caters to huntsmen, though?"
"What do you mean? I'm open to anyone."
"You might be, but it's not the same. You already said you've noticed less custom from normal people, well that isn't an accident. Huntsmen and civilians don't mix."
"I'm a civilian."
"Normal civilians," Roman drawled, rolling his eyes. "You don't count."
"That's nonsense. I've seen loads of huntsmen walking down the streets and no one runs away screaming when they do. Vale is filled with people, both huntsmen and not."
"And yes I will be warning you again huntsman and civilians and basically gangsters don't mix well Don't forget that who you are and what have you become For the member of the gangster society You're basically a member of the mafia You work for us and we work for you too so be careful."
"I'll say it again"
"they don't mix," he repeated. "They can exist in the same place, but the culture is different, and they don't like to mingle. Look, I'm not trying to trick or even confuse you, Jaune. I'm just answering your unspoken question." He shrugged and finished his drink. "Don't take my word on it, though. Ask around, or better yet, keep your eyes open and now see for yourself Your broken arm is not for show now is it."
Impatience warred within him for a second, but he forced it down. If he just asked Roman, then he wouldn't get an explanation, and even if he did, he'd still have to see it himself to believe it. "Alright, I'll keep my eyes open from now on."
"And I'll be there to say 'I told you so' when you figure it out," Roman laughed, slapping some lien down on the table.
Jaune sighed. "You always tip too high."
"You're open after hours. Consider it a premium rate. Besides, money comes easy to me - it's like a natural gift I have."
"Yeah well, you shouldn't say that too loud. Someone might try to rob you."
"Somehow, I think I'll be okay on that front now..." Roman laughed to himself and stood up, picking up his cane once more. He didn't have a limp, so Jaune had no idea why he had such a thing - but Roman was pretty eccentric, so maybe it was a part of the outfit. "See you tomorrow night, kiddo. Thanks for the treat; it's hard to find places open late like this, and even harder to find ones with service like this."
"I literally don't even do anything," he said.
"That's the point. Let's just say I'm used to a very specific reaction from most people. It's nice to find someone who acts normal around us. It's a nice change." Roman smirked when it was clear he didn't understand. "You'll get it in time, kid. Anyway, you ready to go, Neo?"
It was only when Roman said the name that Jaune realised his mistake. He'd turned his back on the girl and left himself open.
He yelped and jumped forward when her hand slapped against his backside. His cheeks, which had only just started to go back to normal, were bright red again, and the girl laughed silently as she sashayed past him.
She made sure to turn and blow him a kiss before she left.
And Roman made sure to laugh himself hoarse at the same time.
Jaune rubbed his behind as they left, trying to regain his racing heart. He'd never received that kind of attention from girls before, and certainly none as pretty as Neo. Heck, even his customers had started to make it a sport to see who could make him blush the most. He groaned in embarrassment and picked up his mop once more.
"I warned you, though. Huntsmen and civilians don't mix."
"I know," Jaune groaned. "I also just knew you were going to rub that in. You couldn't resist an 'I told you so' moment, could you?"
"Nope. So, what're you going to do now?"
"Well, I have Team RWBY helping out tomorrow."

And then there were weekends, where he could give extra hours and maybe have a break or two of his own. Jaune laughed and downed his tea. "You've put the idea in my head now. Thanks."
"Roman Torchwick, always here to serve." He polished off his own coffee and popped a slice of cake in his mouth. He spoke around it, gesturing with one hand. "You're - hm - doing pretty well here." He swallowed. "For where you are, I mean. I know you're not sure how much you'll have made until the end, but I can't see you going out of business. Most waiters and waitresses make their money off tips anyway, so you wouldn't be losing that."
"Alright, alright, I get it." Jaune chuckled. "I'll put some fliers out. You sure you're not trying to lump a certain someone on me?"
The two of them turned to look at Neo, who had just pressed a button on an espresso machine. It spat and hissed wildly, and Neo leapt back, drawing a long, thin sword and holding it at the ready. When the machine failed to grow legs, arms, and sentience to try and kill her, she sheathed it awkwardly and glared at them.They wisely pretended to have seen nothing.
"Even I wouldn't be that cruel," Roman said. "No, she's with me, heavens help me. I'm just worried the only place I can get a proper cup of coffee will go bust on me. Can't have that."
"There are probably over three hundred different restaurants, diners and cafes in Vale," Jaune said with a roll of his eyes. "I'm sure mine isn't the best coffee out of all of that."
"You'd be surprised. Besides, I'm here for the customer service."
"That doesn't even make any sense." Jaune sighed and gave up, especially when Roman started to laugh himself silly. The guy was pretty weird like that, but it felt nice to have someone to wind down with at the end of the day.
Funnily enough, Roman and Neo always looked like they were just waking up.
What kind of removals business operated at night?
"Why do I keep getting the weirdest customers?"
2:00 am
Afterwards when roman and neo upgraded to leave him alone he decided to head home It was getting late anyway so and he made a promise to winter he'll be back soon So let's not keep her waiting He thought at that very moment.
As I took my car from the restaurant garage, that has been sitting there for almost a week and the last time I used that car that I need to do some deliveries and it's an old car but it still does his job and back to winter place after my first night at experience and went back to the apartment. The first thing I wanted to do was collapse onto the mattress and sleep with her in peace but I figured that the mission had to come first. I moved one of the paintings on the wall and brought out a little radioactive removed the plastic cover for the outlet for the burner scroll and I dialed the number that my boss gave me me a long time ago if case of emergency might occur. It rang for a minute before being picked up. "Mr. Arc?" he greeted. "Hey" I said, too tired for any formalities, "I was worried for a moment that I was calling at a bad time, I just got off my night shift."
"I take it you found a new job then?" She asked me. "I did not, Im still working at the restaurant , I'l not be working nights and day alone I had an accident and my arm just broke so I will be working but not alone I hire some girls it'll be working for for a few days." I explained to him. "Girl from 6 days from here was some sort of VIP customer for the cab company, I think these VIPs might be other criminals she's acquainted with."boss told me, "Yes boss," "keep up with the new job and see if any of these special clients of hers let anything slip, in the meantime I want you to make miss Polly and your fellow coworkers understand that you're willing to break some laws for some cash or order, and I imagine being an accomplice to grand larceny on your first night has already helped with that." She told his this.
"It's a good first step," I said stifling a yawn. "It is Mr., Arc, but there's still a long way to go, get some rest and call me next week or when there is a development and enjoy the night to come with your missus you deserve this and A few days from here I will send some people to pick you up and we have some work to do," she instructed me before hanging up.
After a few minutes later he sigh's,
As his boss told him that she will send a couple of men or a driver to pick him up after he's done with his work and he needs to be safe and come back home to him wife, He just giggled over it It's just strange and warm that there is someone waiting for him it's a good feeling ,but she like be waiting, He accepted by nodded ,As she might be worried about it about where is he gone to why he is late, Jaune picked up his spare keys and went to opened the doors to the restaurant and started to check the window and door before locking it up.
Then decided to head towards the garage to pick up his car so that he can drive home.
As he took his car from the restaurant garage, that has been sitting there for almost a week and the last time I used that car that I need to do some deliveries or something like a racing and it's an old car but it still does his job and back to winter place after today my first day at experience a injuries by yang and he desire to went back to the apartment.
The first thing I wanted to do was collapse onto the mattress and sleep with her in peace but I figured that my new mission now that had to come first at all.
As I drove in the night of the kingdom of vale I just saw nothing but darkness as the street lights boomed in the night like lanterns and by separating us from the darkness giving us hope but I just still saw nothing but darkness as I went on as I drove in to night as It kept us telling me to go back home but fast As I made my way towords our home.
A home a finally something I can call after so long as I kept on going I saw the streets how it is gangsters all around his place police officers doing their rounds and patrols It's just all peace right now but when there's a gang war all hells break loose and Not even the police could control them sometimes then they call for huntsman and huntresses to deal with them That's make things even worse.
But junior is the only one who's keeping the Peace now after The passing of Mr Walter a few years ago, he were kept his oath to protect this very kingdom and its streets and It's innocence people and he don't know how long before all hell breaks loose before that at least I could do something for once as good members as he kept on talking to himself thinking to himself He made his way towards to his home as he saw her home no our home.
He parked his car next to her's He got out of his car making sure does not get towed in the morning so he checked everything then he made his way towords his home he brought out a spare key and he made his way to steps as he made his steps He came face to face to the door He was tense for a moment but then he said 'everything will be fine' and he insert his spare key and open the door Then he told her 'I'm home honey 'and the next thing he did closing the door went to the bedroom he saw that Winter was asleep but you saw that she still has her gun 'damn this woman feisty' So he decided to freshen up take a little bath and then change his clothes and then he collapsed onto my mattress and didn't went to wake up until the afternoon, Then as he was lying on his bed winter tuck her hands with him putting her hands on him he felt safe.
CHANGE LOCATION
THE NEXT MORNING:
BOSS HEAD OFFICE
UNKNOWN
6:00 am
So the next day When I came back to work and walked into boss office to tell her what had happened last night after picking up one of her VIPs and he was mainly worried that the cops Would have gotten the plates off my car's and be on the lookout but it seemed that his boss wasn't worried. "I already heard about what happened from Amanda," she explained to me, "that girl texted me once it was done and I reported your car stolen," she explained to me sitting behind her desk with a cigarette burning between her fingers. "Won't they find it suspicious that your car was reported stolen after it was seen fleeing a crime scene?" I asked her as she held her pack of cigarettes out offering me one but at first I didn't want to then I saw her look and say f*** it So I took the offered smoke since I figured it'd be polite and I wanted her to like me for the sake of my mission.
"Don't worry about that Mr Arc ," she said as leaning over the desk with her lighter to light my cigarette and told me "I know some people at the station and it'll all be cleared up and in no time nobody will ask questions.
"but I have one good question how are you doing after all that jaune ?" "Me?" I said after taking my first draw of the smoke and coughing little bit. "What about me i am just fine?" he asked "You not have a habit of running from the cops right ?" she asked me, "or helping thieves right? "This is a first for me I'm afraid," I told her honestly.
She nodded at that and flicked the ash off her cigarette studying me a bit. "At least tell me you got a tip for your trouble then right ." as I flash her the ring out of my pocket and placed it onto her desk for her and they She picked it up and examined it a bit. "hmm Pretty is it ," she said, before grinning at me and she tossing it back to me. "I'd wait a bit before you try ask me out again or to marry me but you should cashing it or it's very hot right now, or you can give it to your girlfriend's or your so called wife ."
jaune arc Just went a little red on the cheeks as he know what she is applying at, that night he spend with her.
" you Don't need to be so embarrassed right now but I want you to remember this The time's right You can ask me out again" and as she walked towards him putting her head out and rubbing his pants basically his penis and balls from the fabric of his pants, "We can do it again and again don't worry I got you" as she wink him,
He went total red but he remember something his wife winter he cannot break our trust not this time He needs to tell her off before he could she walked away and went back to her desk.
And she told me to keep it for rainy day I was generally or shocked that she let me keep it but it's fine You told me that you need to clean up and go back to the restaurant your orders are needed there And she will arrange some staff members for him soon enough after the last ones were transported to another location entire He will rule pretty much manage the vale sectors while the other will operate on the other continents entirely.
I pocketed the ring in my coat but a little surprised that she was going to let me keep it and telling me This valuable information not try claiming something like this for herself or it for herself. "So it's worthless to me now?" I asked her.
"For now, wait a year or two and it won't be
so hot, or get someone to strip it for parts it if you're Really desperate for cash or something," she explained, "that piece of ice should run you a nice stack of lien at least." so I nodded and As she offered me another one of her cigarettes so i took another of her cigarette form her box. "Is that all it?" I asked her wondering just what else there was to talk about if she had summum me here or had everything handled.
"Tell me something Jaune ~," she asked through a cloud of tobacco smoke She just inhaled, "are you at all interested in
earning a little bit of more something on the side?" As she started to grin at me so I shrugged Of course I was at first very much interested in getting deeper but the last things I remember The more I entered till we know exit out of this mass.
But I don't wanted to do was look to be suspicious by acting too eager or lazy and know her. "I mean I'm not opposed but I'm not exactly sure that I want to repeat last night as a regular thing, I know I'm not that lucky" ( like rabbit bell 😂 )
The boss chuckled a little. "That's not what I
had in mind, from you but you see Tyler the guy that owns that shop and gas station, he's always on the look out for some car parts and accessories for his shop and some of my employees keep an eye out for the cars he needs or want are you Interested arc ?"
"You want me to steal cars then ?" I asked her.
The boss just shrugged bit, " what no Arc what we need Cars, car parts, or accessories but you're not gonna be doing the stealing you're just gonna keep an eye out for some cars on his list or help him retriever them and if you see any parked in garage or packing lot while you're driving or walking just give Tyler a text and he'll send some
boys over to collect it for him but You will get a finders fee At that to and I will collect my cut as well."
So when I finished the rest of my cigarette as I pretended to be interested it over. "I guess but I don't want to be pinching a bee nest ," as I told her, as I tryed to suppress any guilt I felt over the idea of stealing some people's cars and And don't know where did they get all that money all that saving and gets you come there and take them away. "I see, that's what insurance is for right?" I told,
Boss laughed a bit and picked up her scroll and texted me a list of cars for me to be on the lookout for. "That's right Mr Jaune Arc," she said with a wide grin, "now you will get to work immediately but before that."
As I did went to just do that and Getting back in my car to started another day of ferrying around all sorts of late night types and working at the restaurant but the boss Just stopped me She told me to hold and she got off her chair and walk towards the door herself She said "she has something else on her mind as well" before he could question her She locked the door and she showed him to walk with her to the desks.
She called out and he watched as the door opened by her hand, her fingers grabbing the door and holding it open, letting him feel that tension rise, as she turned around, her eyes looking at him with a look that desired him.
It was... different. He had seen the look in the eyes of Nora more often than not, whenever she looked at Ren. The woman strode with strides to the desk and then brushed over it, the sound of things hitting the ground noticeable. A bottle of the same vodka had been put in the corner, the smell of the vodka heavy in the air as the woman's body bent over the desk, her head turning to look at him, a hand raised, a finger beckoning him.
He swallowed heavily, as he looked at her. She was there, and her rear was pointing up, those buttocks looking round, her gaze intensifying, as her tongue laid a slow path of slick saliva over her lips.
"Mister Arc..."
A push of that rear, as her eyes looked at him, heavily-lidded, her lips parting to show teeth. "Allow me to show you some Walter repayment for saving the life of my family bloodline."
He was not the aptest at getting the hints at times. He'd missed Pyrrha's hints for nearly a year, but there was no denying this. She looked at him, a stern look that wouldn't her eyes looking at him.
He swallowed, heavily. Her behind swayed a little, as she stretched. Her hands slid down and the faint sound of something ripping was heard, as the jeans tore and he could see a womanly set of thighs exposed.
"Come on, Jaune. Take what you want."
A soft curling hint of self-loathing sprinkled through that angry, bitter voice. Her eyes looked at him with something inside them that hurt to see, something deep and vile and bitter, as he could see her lips below stand there like a testament, pushed outward and puffy.
"No."
He knew that it wasn't good for her, and he was not going to make her feel like he was taking advantage of her. She was drunk, he was drunk, and he was not going to stop. He approached, her eyes looking at him with a look that held equal parts fierceness and fury. She was about to say something, but his hand smacked that ass, letting her buttocks jiggle and a yelp come from her lips.
"I'm not- I've never done this, but not... Not like this."
He could smell the scent of alcohol, something that was there, a yearning, a passion, a craving. This was a woman who hurt, someone who had rolled in the shards of her life and who had become hollowed out like a doll.
He knelt there, his face pressing against her behind. She stiffened, not making a sound, before a soft sob came from her mouth. The woman, Jessica, was starting to cry out, softly sobbing, as he pressed his lips against the vaginal lips between her legs, as the sensation of touching something so womanly sending a spark through his body.
'She needs to be happier or situation might go worse and she might do something very much rational in response .'
A low, throaty moan came from the woman's lips, something that sounded surprised, as mixing with a gasp that was like an utterance of fear, something that shouldn't be. As He remembered the impromptu lesson that Saphron his sister had given on the 'Art of eating the Girl and keeping your skin' the moment when she'd come out as a lesbian and asked his to have a baby with her wife and possible her to but It'd included pictures, a few videos and a very embarrassed Terra who had walked in mid-way to see Saphron gesticulating and going on at length about spots and about strange things .
Putting it to practice and making sure to keep an eye on the gasps, his nose buried against that ass, letting her get used to the touch, a shiver going through his partner, the woman's legs spreading some more. Another flick of the tongue and the woman shivered, squeezing the desk, feeling that pleasure shoot through her, or so he guessed. She smelled like a woman, or at least what he thought a woman smelled like. A little like Weiss, actually. She must just have the same shampoo or something.
"Ah, oh."
Moans, eager and with a hint of something more, as his hands grabbed her hips and then kept her there, his tongue exploring. A soft, sensual shudder, as her fingers grabbed his head.
"Ah... Stop. Stop, dear."
The term slipped from her lips and it didn't feel bad to hear it, her hand pulling him away. She looked at him, a look that held a heat and a flame of desire, a soft guttural sound coming from her lips. He was aware of how aroused he was, of what she was offering, craving, wishing for.
"My... I was- Perhaps I was just a touch hasty. You've got-"
A smile, one that looked genuine and more maternal than anything that he'd seen before came to her lips, her eyes beholding him with that hint of interest, something in the eyes of the woman having changed. She shifted, the slit between her legs covered in a faint pale white fuzz. It was a woman who had been aware of what she had, her motions with flexibility that he'd expect from a Huntress, not a civilian woman.
"Here, allow me to-"
Her hands went to his pants, undoing them slowly, her eyes looking at him and smiling faintly as she looked at his groin, where the underwear looked like it was getting a little firmer.
"It's been a decade since I have last seen a man's penis."
That was a long time. His father had joked about his wife needing some love once every month or so to keep the Arc family happy and sane. His mother had smacked his father for that comment, but it had elicited no further commentary from anyone.
"Let's see what you h- Oh."
She pulled the underwear down and he was reminded of the liquor that she'd spilled on his groin, the smell mingling in his nostrils, her tongue sliding over her lips. Eyes that looked more energetic as she'd behold what he had. A hand, small and delicate compared to what stood between his legs, seized it. A tension, as she slowly squeezed.
She inhaled deeply, her eyes closing and then slid down, her knees hitting the ground.
Warmth was the first sensation that he felt as velvet-like lips wrapped around the head, a swallow from the woman, saliva bathing his shaft as a tongue slid over his crown, the foreskin already pulled back with a single jerk. She tasted him, even as she let her tongue caress the sensitive head. A gasp, groan and more came from his lips, but she wasn't down yet, her eyes burning with something of a hunger, as she got up.
"A treat for a treat, Jaune... Now..."
Her body bent over the desk, her legs parting, spread slightly, her head looking back at him. It was a motion of someone who could bend her body like such, a ballerina's body, an athlete's body that had once been in shape, but now had gone to lay unused. She spread her pussy lips, her head turned back.
"Have sex with me. Right here. Now."
He wasn't so eager to respond back to her, as she seemed to be better, more positive. As he wanted to leave as Not that it mattered, as his body's very hormones assured him now. As the Older women were still hot, and this woman was like the fine wine that she drank. As he hates this as He had to do this too pay back the depth they have helped him with as and he hates himself but as what he did to his winter now as he was just guilty about it and he just hopes she can forgive him one day as very His clock head pressed against her very pussy lips, and a guttural, shrill groan coming from her, her as hand smacking against his buttocks. It was a clenching, tight sensation.
"Push, Jaune."
A command, a demand, something spoken with that urge, that need within it. Something to abandon the senses to, to make the world make sense and burn through the barriers that kept him contained, his body moving. A womanly shriek came from her lips as she seemed to stretch, her fingers gripping the desk, a low moan turning high-pitched as he felt something press against the head.
"Not so f-ash... Ah..."
She tightened, as she looked back at him. There was a heated look on her face, his eyes going down. He wasn't fully inside her yet, but it felt good. She looked at him.
"Do it. Just Put it in me, you blonde son of a bitch."
The cussword wasn't the worst he'd heard, but it spurred him on to push into her. Something parted and she gave a shriek like she was dying, her eyes opening wide and just twitching. Juices dripped onto the ground as she leaked, some tensing and twitching of her vaginal muscles.
It felt great, as he started to move faster. Her hands gripped the desk firmly, as she started to moan, her body rocking slightly as he moved, the slurping, slopping sounds that came like an echo of the feelings that she caused within him. A low, guttural sound in his throat and he came, quicker than he'd hoped, but it was his first time, her body giving a shudder, her eyes widening, as the puddle of her juices below the desk widened. She was panting, gasping and still moaning slightly as she pushed herself up, pulling herself off his manhood.
He smacked against his thighs, coated in white, the cloying scent growing stronger of his own ejaculate, her eyes looking at him. He felt uncertainty, her eyes just staring, a slack-jawed expression on her face. She seemed uncertain on how to go about this.
"I'm sorry, I'm-"
She shook her head, looking into his eyes, a thick glob of seed drooling from her sex, staining her pants, her body pushed up with tension in her arms. She looked at him, a wavering smile on her lips. It was as if she couldn't believe that she'd done this, as if it was all a dream.
"I've had... We had sex. It's been so long."
She sounded more surprised than he felt, as her hand took a hold of his member. She looked at it, as if it were some sort of creature that she didn't recognize. He laid a hand on her shoulder and then suddenly, as she just captured her lips with her own, a kiss that seemed to have passion behind it, her fingers gripping his manhood and starting to stroke it. There were strands of semen that dripped onto the floor, mixing with her juices.
She broke the kiss, her eyes looking into his own. He tried to flex his Aura for a moment, feeling himself be rejuvenated. The older woman named Willow gasped, her fingers feeling his manhood be hard below their grasp.
"Get that shirt off, Mister Arc."
The brooch was off and the jacket and shirt joined it on the floor, as it was now leaving him almost weak-kneed at the sight of those breasts, round and full, capped with a nipple that was richly pink in colour. The puffiness of the skin around the nipple pushed it up and he looked into her eyes, the yearning in them there.
"We're drunk, we shouldn't..."
He tried to make an excuse, but it wasn't enough. He had fucked her. She'd encouraged him and he'd eaten her out.
"We're way past drunk. The man who owns this office would scarcely care, but-"
A look in her eyes changed into something dangerous, something needy, something womanly as she pushed her chest out at him.
