"Damn..." Shell mutters feeling her yellow hair ribbon break at the bow from tying it too tight that morning as it fell into the open water filled washer. She was about to do the rest of the laundry even though Melissa and her did all of it just four days ago. With a family of twelve just four days equaled out to about a week and a half of laundry, sometimes more.
Shrugging off her usual zip up hoodie and tossing it into the wash, she stood there just in her old quidditch shorts from the Holyhead Harpies and a light yellow tube top pouring in the detergent and softner now. "I hate how I swore of magic sometimes..." she mutters hearing a knock on the door before she got a chance to close the lid on the washer.
Shell promised herself the only time she'd use magic anymore was to protect herself, apparation and at school if she had to. Most wouldn't understand her reasoning but she had enough with magic in her life. It seemed to ruin so many things for her. The murder of her mother, fighting in the war, her father the list went on and on.
Walking to the door she pulls it open with a grin noticing it was one of her fellow three musketeers. Briar and Andra came over every chance they could nowadays, all of them at once watching the combined fifteen kids. Shell didn't mind though. Three against five seemed way better than one against ten. "Hey you. What have you been up to? I haven't seen you in a week." she smiles pulling her best friend into a hug. |

Cassandra sits in her kitchen,taking a slowly drink of her tea. Since that incident with Jay had happened she couldn't even look at him or Shelby and let alone talk to her. She just couldn't get it out of her head at what happened. Even if she did sort of provoke the whole thing. She just couldn't stand idle by living her life like nothing happened. It was slowly eating away at her. She was sure the guilt was going to kill her if Shelby didn't. But there was still the fact, that she had enjoyed that little outing with Jay. Even if she shouldn't of.
She stood up pushing her chair back into place. She placed her cup in the sink turned the faucet on and started to washing her cup. Again thinking about that fatefully day. What did she think she was doing. She could of put a stop to it but she let herself get carried away. Carried away by the thought that she felt wanted...She turned the water off and dried her hands. Thoughts of her and Jay still running. They both knew that they had to keep this a secret who knows how it would affect Shelby.
She grabbed her jacket with out thinking of what she was doing she appareted right outside Shell's house but hesitated to knock at first. She wasn't sure why she had chosen to tell her know after all she would be breaking that promise she had made with Jay about not telling Shell. But she couldn't take it anymore. All that guilt it was eating away at her. She finally knocked and waited for someone to answer. She instantly put a fake smile she grew so accustomed to lately when Shell opened the door.
She sort of found it funny in a way that with out even knowing Shell's supposedly best friend slept with her husband. She couldn't believe she betrayed her like that. This was close to if not worse then hurting her when she was under the imperius curse. She hugged her back and laughed lightly." N-nothing much, just working and taking care of Dominic and Mel. You know I see you like almost every other day or so. You don't have to squeeze so tight."She laughed. "But was it really a week, it felt more like a year."She teased.

Shell laughs a bit, loosing her grip on her friend and takes her hand, leading her into the living room but gasps slightly. "Oh crap. I left the washer running with the lid wide open, come on." she says with a sigh hurrying to the back of the house, into the laundry room.
She shuts the lid just leaning against the dryer seeing as an exception she put a silence spell on the washer. Jay was supposed to 'fix it' a few weeks ago seeing as it was jumping around and making a high pitched squealing noise before the charm. "I know it's been a week, but like you said you're usually here every other day. So how's work and the kids?" she asks twirling a couple of her curls around her fingers as they fall in front of her face. |

She shakes her head and laughs as she loosens her grip on her only to rush with to the laundry room."How did you forget to close the lid on the washer?"She teases as she stands by the door way after Shell closes the lid on the washer and puts a silencing charm on the dryer. She smiles at her."Shell, don't you ever just relax? Its seems like I should send Melissa to come and help you around the house and of course I wouldn't mind coming to help while the kids play."
Well work is work,just healing the sick and fixing any spell that were placed incorrectly. And if I have time I'm planning to work at a 'regular' hospital soon. I've sort of had enough with magical injuries. Its time to expan my horizon."She nods. "Ah,well Melissa is enjoying all her new clothes, it seems like I haven't spent much time with her so I took her shopping and Dominic he's going to school now and is so excited that he learned how to tie his shoes."She smiled. "How about you?"

She laughs at herself, sticking out her tongue at Andra. "I forgot because you knocked on the door so I rushed to get the door instead so shush." she says with a smile, just shaking her head. "No. That word isn't even in my vocabulary." she smiles at her again.
"Busy with all the kids, Jenny's graduating soon, Isaiah's asking for a new broom the usual." she says with a grin before looking around the laundry room. "Do you see my button up shirt? Well it's actually Jay's cause I need to wash this shirt that I have on. There's a big syrup stain on it from James accidently spilling the bottle." |

She smiled and shook her head."Well it should be, you want to borrow a dictionary and look it up?"She teased. "One of these days, I'm going to kidnap you away from all this."She laughed."Oh of course that must be it, since you forgot to close it...don't tell me you were expecting me to come."She winks and laughs.
"Oh that's right she's in her last year, that reminds me I have to get her a gift."She smiles and nods. "Well its almost impossible for you to not be busy with the kids,"Just as soon as she mentions Jay it seems like everything she was suppose to tell her came back to mind again. She didn't say anything and handed her Jay's shirt when she found it."Oh, um..here."

"Haha, very funny." she says sticking out her tongue. "I bet you will." Shell winks back to her taking off her tube top and taking the blue button up shirt not bothering to button it. Andra, Briar and herself went streaking a few many times and have each other well 'exposed' plenty of times to the point they didn't care anymore.
"Yeah, she'd prefer money. Trying to beat Isaiah to the broom thing." she rolls her eyes a bit. "Is something wrong, catching her faltering smile as she tilts her head a bit as she continued to play with her messy curls. |

She shakes her head and laughs."Geez Shell, I didn't think you loved wearing Jay's stained shirts so much."She said laughing almost as if avoiding what she came here to do. Tell her what happened with Jay and her. "Hmm...some how Jenny and money doesn't surprise me much. If you Isaiah has a broom he wants, i don't mind pitching in to help him get it."She smiled slightly deciding whether or not to tell her.
"I-I...um...no nothings wrong."She says backing away from the whole Jay and her situation. She couldn't bievel she didn't even have the nerve to tell her what happened. What happened with her and Jay was an irreversible mistake...or was it...a mistake?

"Well of course. I get my laundry done while he has to wait for his to be done." she winks again just buttoning the button right in the middle. "No, I'm trying to teach them the value of a galleon, even a sickle." Shell adds, lightly with a smile.
"Okay then." she adds getting up onto the dryer and swinging her legs slightly. "You're just acting funny is all, but alright then. So this visit is just to talk about what's been going on, which apparently seems to be nothing?" she asks with a laugh. |

She rolls her eyes."Well in that case, I'm surprised he's not wearing you clothes."She grinned laughing and nods about her money values."Alright, have it your way but if they come asking for money...I can't say I won't say yes."She joked and sat down.
"I'm not acting funny..am I?"She asks her looking at her. While she played out what her reaction would be. If she just so happened to mention it.'Oh, by the way I slept with your husband..could you ever forgive me...it was just an accident' She shook her head practically imagining Shell coming at her in a deadly rage. She wouldn't blame her either if she hated her and didn't want anything to do with her anymore. She couldn't deny the fact, that seeing her suffer would be quite a sight to see...but still she didn't want to hurt her.
"Well I don't know its sort of complicated..."

"That. Is. Just. Wrong." she mutters, shaking the mental image out of her mind and trying to think of anything else at the moment other than that. "You better say no. Those children have ears, but I doubt they can hear in here seeing as there's a charm on the entire room." she adds with a smile.
Her smile falters again, resting her head on her shoulder. "Well you're not as cheerful as usual. Just worried about you sweetie." Shell nods, blowing a loose curl out of her face. "How so exactly complicated?" |

She shakes her head as she stands up and sits not to her. Seeing as the dryer was big enough for both of them to sit."Aw, Shell you know how absolutely innocent I am. I'll try my hardest not to do anything unimaginable."She winked and rest her head on her shoulder."Me cheerful is that even possible, we both know after Jason...my cheerfulness disappeared."She joked laughing,trying to think of anything but that."Hey, remember that one time in the kitchen."She laughed lightly trying to avoid that question at all times.

Shell sighs lightly, thinking back years ago. Andra was always happy with Jason until he well, left her for Angel and then completely disappeared off the face of the planet. "I know Andra." she nods feeling her head on her shoulder.
Feeling her cheeks turn a light pink she glances down at her hands. "You mean when I sorta pushed you against the counter and we practically made out? Yeah what about it?" she asks tucking her hair over her left shoulder for her hair wouldn't get pulled by Andra accidently. |

She laughed as she pushed her thoughts of her and Jason away. She was glad Angel could be happy...as long as it was until he like disappeared."I was only joking...even if I hadn't found the one....I don't know I'm talking to much now."She smiled.
"Hmm...yeah sort of pushed, but yeah that I remember that making out part. Nothing I was just remembering what a good kisser you are."She teased.

"You'll find someone don't worry." she says with a smile, now turning a darker shade of red. "Why were you thinking that exactly? You weren't thinking of kissing me now were you?"

She laughed mostly to herself."Its kind of hard when you...I found someone I can't have..."She says her thoughts turning back to her time with Jay. She shook her head as she tried not to think of him. She lifted her head from her shoulder and smiled at her seeing how red she was."Aw, Shelby...your so cute when you blush."She says pecking her lightly on the lips.

"Wait, who can't you have?" she asks staring at her for a few seconds before feeling her kiss her lightly and felt herself kissing back. "Umm. It's. It's not me is it?"

She felt herself laughing lightly against her lips. She smiled as she felt her kiss her back."Unfortunately, I'm sorry to disappoint you but its a guy."

Shell nods with a smile. "Tell me!" she asks. "And maybe I could persuade you." she winks kissing her again.

She paused as she started to panic but not letting it show. It not like she was going to say 'Oh, its Jay...so yeah.' She shook her head to dissipate those thoughts."Nah, don't worry your pretty head about it...its just an infatuation...I'll get over it and you'll have my heart once again."She winked and kissed her back a bit harder then before.

Shell tilts her head a bit. "If it's just a crush, you can tell me love." she says softly before feeling their kiss grow deeper. Shell wraps her arms around Andra's neck as she moved her right leg behind Andra.

She smiled, maybe there was a way to tell her with out her even knowing....rearranging the truth was not completely lying."Well, maybe it wasn't just a crush...I don't know anymore but I promise you we did something that I possibly couldn't forget."She smirked slightly as she ran her tongue on Shell's bottom lip.

"Ah. Come on tell me who." she says softly. Shell was always a curious person, no matter how much it annoyed someone she would find out. She lets out a soft moan parting her lips a little.

She leaned against her wrapping her arms around Shell's waist. She racked her head for any ideas as to not say who it was, she couldn't not now and maybe never. If she did tell her the truth she wouldn't be the only one losing her should would Jay."Kissing isn't cheating is it?"She asked her randomly as she stuck her tongue in her mouth.

Shell sighs, but smiles lightly kissing her back letting out another moan as she starts twirling her tongue with Andra's. To answer her question she just shakes her head no a little bit.

She smiles slightly as she answers her question with a shake of her head and she stops kissing her. She couldn't fool herself and she wasn't about to fool Shell either. She wasn't sure how she would take it but she was ready for what ever Shell attempted to do after she told her the whole truth."Maybe we should go to the living room?..I'm ready to tell you everything."She nods.

Shell glances up at her with a sigh but jumps down from the dryer. "Okay then." she nods, walking into the living room and taking a seat on the couch.

She sat there next to her, looking at her hands. She couldn't back out of this now. She had to tell her once and for all. She laughed quietly thinking how much Emily's ways must of rubbed off on her. She took a deep breath, she wasn't going to tell her everything at once."Jay....Jay and I kissed...well we did more then that..."She said not bothering to go into details.

Shell's smile, slowly dropped more and more until the point she was in tears. "You love him don't you? You. You... whore!" she screams, slapping her hard against the face. "Why in the hell did you do that!"

She put her hand to the place where Shell had smacked her. She knew something like this was suppose to happen. She at least wanted Jay to be of this after all it was her fault."Shell...I don't know....I'm sorry but don't be so quick to judge..."She said as she stood up.
