I on the other hand just nod and then he helped me to lay down and before I knew what was happening, I slept off.
.......
The sunlight peeping from the window and the chirping of the birds woke me up. I immediately thought about Lord Fredericks schedule and was standing up but then felt something different and strange about my environment, I looked beneath my blanket just to find out the clothes I wore weren't the ones I was wearing anymore and to worsen the situation, I was about getting out of bed but then was greeted by a pair of green eyes.
I re-calculate my steps back to the bed and covered my face with the duvet and tried recalling what had previously happened. I was embarrassed to death at the thought of him watching me sleep, just so you know I do sleep talk.
"What did I say last night? Was he listening or did he spend the night in another room, did he change my clothes?" I gasped on the thought of him changing my clothes but immediately consoled myself with the thought of him not knowing anything.
"You're finally up", at last he spoke sarcastically. I gently peeped out of the duvet.
"Am sorry Lord, but how long have I been sleeping?" I asked not really knowing what to say.
"I know you're curious about what happened last night. Well, don't worry, I will save you the stress of not being obviously psychologically disturbed by pretending that nothing ever happened" he added sarcastically. I really don't know if I should be glad or not. I just giggled at him.
"Don't worry, just take your time in bed, I've got other things to attend to. If you don't mind" He said. I nodded in affirmation.
As soon as he left, I immediately ran to my closet, and sat on the floor. I vowed not to cross part with him again, but then I recalled that I was the one handling his schedules so I also decided to act like nothing ever happened to.
Since I've been locked indoors for a whole day, I decided to take a walk with Lucky. I took him to the garden because it made me remembered home, the sweet melodious chirping of the birds, the fast running of water and the rustling of leaf's by the winds.
I stayed for an hour and then decided to walk back to the castle but then, thought of plucking rose of different color mixtures.
As usual, I took my bath, this time around, I decided to look extra hot. So I put on some makeup, wear some perfumes and then picked out a blue dress matching my light blonde hair and her blue eyes. I took the flowers I had earlier plucked from the garden to his room, used it too decorate the bed and table in which he was to have his dinner.
I stepped out to get dinner for Lord Frederick because he wasn't able to eat anything through out the day. I went as usual to the kitchen, picked up his food took it to his room successfully
Then I recalled 'the wine' I went back down stairs, picked his favorite wine "Domaine de Romané-Cont", and happily went upstairs. I planned on appreciating him for yesterday.
On entering his room, I didn't really noticed anything, I just went in, dropped the wine beside his food and was about leaving when I noticed the eyes of someone staring from the darkness. I immediately became alarmed and remained in that same position for some seconds. The distance between where I stood and the door wasn't close.
"What should I do?" I thought to myself. I summed up courage, made up my mind to just pretend I didn't really noticed anything rather make it look as if I was trying to recall something.
I resumed walking again but due to fright, I mistakenly stepped on my dress and stumbled. It's said that when you're about dying, your life begin to flash before you.
The thought of leaving my mom behind, her tears on receiving the news of my demise, not being able to be there for her and most importantly, not being able to leave my life and grow old with the man I love all flashed before me, as I fell to the ground with my eyes tightly closed as I accepted my fate.
Everything happened fast and before I could reach the ground, a hand caught me. I was shocked and scared cause out fear. When I opened my eyes to see who it was, I was surprised and happy to find out it was Lord Frederick.
"Did you also died and follow me to the afterlife?" I asked him.
"Does this means we are fated right from the unset?" I asked him again.
"Why aren't you answering me but confusing me?" I asked for the third time.
"You look pretty when confused" he responded with a melancholic smile and then put me down. I immediately try comporting myself as soon as I could stand on my on.
"Welcome back Lord" I said with a slight bow trying to ignore what just happened.
"Did I hear you say we are fated?" He asked sarcastically.
"Your dinner is getting cold", I replied, trying to avoid his question.
"If you don't mind I would like to get ready for your next schedule, please excuse me". I said turning around to take my leave before I felt him caught my hand and pulling me to face him.
The space left between us wasn't enough as we could clearly hear each other breathe and heart racing and.
