Crazy He Calls Me ` Mrs. Kaiser

[Adam Kaiser]

we are the keepers of their destiny

Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings?

TAG: Zelda Kaiser. NOTES: soo excited!! 

The days were long and the weeks were longer. It made perfect sense why Chief Kaiser had forgotten what a day off felt like. And not a day off where he was practically on call the entirety of it. For the sake of his dear Zelda, he promised he would truly take a day away just for them. Adam enjoyed working long hours and perhaps even every day of the week. This allowed him to delude his wife into believing that he was spending a late night on a case when he was really in contact with the crime underworld during these hours. Those back at the station, believed him to have gone home for the evening. The system worked well for now, he was a weasel but the best kind. One hidden in plain sight.

In the recent days, it wasn't as though he would have a choice on whether or not to work late hours, anyway. With the increasing number of disappearances, he found that he and his officers were on the constant move to reassure families that they would try to find some answers. Adam understood the concern, but this was the kind of thing that kept the city and its people needing him. That’s why he kept the search on a slow pace. There really was nothing to go on other than the statements of those who were found on the outskirts of the desert weeks back, such as himself. But he could easily speed up the mystery solving progress if he truly wished it. Right now, he had bigger fish to fry as they say.

More reason why Adam had felt inclined to take this day off, was because Zelda's desire for more productivity. The southern belle was an excitable, but curious little soul. It was one of the many things he adored about his beautiful wife, but her curiosity worried him. Sometimes, it made him paranoid. She was bubbly, though not ignorant. Zelda was aware of many things to the point of involving them in many charity works over the past few years. She was smart in her own way. He felt desperate to keep the fate of Calo buried six feet deep with the sorry bastard. It was the one crucial part of their story that could make or break their entire marriage. And he couldn't lose her, he wouldn't allow it. He'd wanted her so badly to go to the lengths as to kill a man for her. It wouldn't be any more in vain than it already was. That's why the Chief sometimes feared his wife's measurable intellect. 

He stood on the balcony, entered through their bedroom. The desert held a light breeze to it, as fall was coming around the corner soon enough. Though the sun shined bright as always. Adam's dark blond locks wisped gently over his forehead. He contemplated whether or not to light a cigarette in this moment. A day off spent with Zelda at their home was so far, divine. He could keep a careful eye on her and spend time in the presence of her beauty that radiated inside and out. When he heard the pleasant sound of her sing-song voice, he removed his hands from his pockets and turned to face her with a genuine smile. "My love," he approached her with a sudden embrace. "Where did you go just now? You missed the first breeze of the season." 

He gave her an affectionate smile and laugh while he looked down at his darling Mrs. Kaiser.

fool me, fool me, go on and fool me

Adam Kaiser’s days off were few and far between. So far between that Zelda couldn’t quite remember the last time they had spend a whole day with only each other’s company. It was these days that she looked forward to. Even if they did nothing but listen to the radio or walk through the park, spending that quality time with her husband was what she loved. It could get boring when she was all alone at home. These days reminded her why she fell for Adam in the first place and it restored her faith in his character- something that had been worrying her recently. The more his work absorbed him, the more Adam seemed to change. She noticed the ways his charm would slip, his intentions swayed and his general temperament shift. The change in him wasn’t so large and vicious that it threw up a big red flag in her mind. It was enough for the observant Zelda to notice- enough for her to worry about him and how far work was pushing on his shoulders.

Coffee cups clinked against each other as she carried the heavy tray as steadily as she could, a look of pure concentration on her face. On the tray sat a pretty little white porcelain set accented with pale pink flowers, swirling around the rim of each piece. A little jug of cream, a bowl of sugar lumps, and two coffee cups with saucers were set out along with a caffetiere filled with freshly brewed coffee and a plate of cookies, baked and gifted by Zelda’s friend next-door. Oh, and there was the day’s paper, should Adam want it. Zelda knew how to look after her husband. She was a caring, attentive little thing.

Entering the bedroom, she placed the tray down on the table by the door, unable to take it any further due to the heaviness of it. Catching her breath, she glanced across the room to the open French doors which lead to the balcony. The long net curtains floated ever so gently in the breeze. A smile crept onto her ruby lips as she straightened out the cups ever so slightly.

Even if they had nothing at all planned for today, she would look her best for her husband. Zelda prided herself on her appearance. Sometimes dressing up was the only exciting thing she could occupy herself with. Today she wore a day dress with a halter neck which came down to just above her knees. It was white with blue and yellow flowers spiralling around each other. Her lips were, as always, painted a bright red colour and her ears were adorned with pearl studs. “Adam, darling?” she called out, smoothing down the fabric of her skirt before walking to the balcony. Sure enough, there he was.

“My love, Where did you go just now? You missed the first breeze of the season."

The smile on her face grew as he snatched her into an embrace, a hand of hers affectionately running across his shoulder as she let out a gentle giggle. “I was just getting my favouritest man a treat.” Stepping up onto tiptoes, Zelda wrapped her arms around his neck, her head resting on his shoulder as he hugged him tightly. “I miss you so very much, sweet pea.” She spoke softly, genuinely, hoping he understands how much he means to her by those few words. Leaning back to look at him again, Zelda smiles once more. “I want your day off to be as great as it possibly can be.” She closes the space between them and kisses him tenderly.

Breaking from the kiss and his embrace with a playful smile, she quickly returns into the bedroom to retrieve the tray, busy as a bee, eager to please her husband in anyway she can. Lifting the hefty tray, Zelda brings it out to the balcony and sets it down on the table there. “There! Coffee and cream! Judith from next-door made the cookies. Apparently she made far too many and had dozens to give away. I was glad to help her out, of course.” She laughs at her own joke before looking to her husband to measure his reaction on her arrangement, hoping he was pleased.
