My eyes darted to Charles for an answer and he stood still with a smile on his face. I wondered in question why he was smiling when we weren't suppose to be on the balcony in the first place..
But, before I could ask him he perked up and said, "Beautiful right everyone? Sorry for the inconvenience but I really wanted to show the grand estate of the Acres family and what better way to show it then with Lady.Victoria here herself! As you can see from behind us, the stars are very bright today reflecting the success and literal meaning of the Acres' wine "Twinkling Star" make sure to um grab a bottle! They are selling quickly!" Charles, chuckled awkwardly as the crowd clapped in question but still nodded amongst themselves, admiring the night scenery in front of them.
My face went wide seeing everyone amazed at the beautiful starry sky and I looked at Charles in amazement, his ability to handle a group of people..People with money in fact was wonderful, even I didn't know what to say. It was amazing and I was going to thank him for that and for just being their at the right time to help me.
I walked over to him with a smile but not before my mother intersected me, making my stomach drop. She gave Charles a big smile while whispering something in his ear and she looked at me with a glare. "Honey, I think someone is waiting for you. The Bellums is it? Yes I think that's right. Now be a dear and go show them that you are my daughter. Don't get up and leave next time unless the conversation is over." She said with a darling wave goodbye as the Bellums appeared from behind her.
Sir. Bertram looking at me with glee as if he missed me or something and Lady.Bellum having a cold blaze at me. I think she hates for some reason, not sure why though. I figured though she was the one who told my mother I left the table how else would she know that otherwise?
I look to Sir.Bertram who came up to me and put out his hand to me and I cocked my head in question taking it, "Is there something you want with my hand?"
He simpered at me and replied with, "Oh I just wanted to do this." He lightly pecked my delicately hand and my body shivered at his touch. It wasn't the first time someone kissed my hand but it was one of the most surprising ones.
I tried not to have a reaction for I felt a little unnerved after he did this but it seemed he didn't know my shaken upon tone. "Is that alright Lady.Victoria? A simple hand kiss?" My eyes went to Bellum who seem to be encouraging her brother with his actions and I gulped a bit looking to him avoiding eye-contact. "Well, I-I guess it's o-!" "Would you like to dance with me?" My eyes went wide after he said that and I looked down to my dress.
"D.dance? Um I don't really-!" He swoop me to the side and started leading me to the center of the dance floor, "Nonsense! I know you do ballet, plus if you aren't in the mood right now then I'll just lead. I promise it will only be for a moderately fair amount of time."
Among after he said that I was wisped away farther into the ballroom knowing I would have even more attention on me.
If I thought just being here was suffering torment, I can only imagine how dancing with Sir.Bertram would be.
