I hear a knock at the door, "Pardon me My Lord. I have you're tea."

I look up from my papers and see Sebastian pushing a card with some cake and tea, "Thank you Sebastian." I put my papers and look at my butler.

"Today I have papered you some German Chocolate cake with some Earl Grey tea." He get's everything ready for me. "My Lord we are also expecting Lady Elizabeth to come tonight. She wishes to spend Christmas with you."

"Lovely," I put my face in my hand, "She's the last person I want to see right now."

"My Lord there is more." He looks at me.

I look up at him, "What do you mean there's more?"

"My Lord Lady Elizabeth has invited people to the mansions and plans on holding a Christmas party. Before you go into a huge fuss about it My Lord let my remind you that you also approved of this idea."

I stand up but then sit back down, "I remember now. She got me when I was busy and I only told her she could because I just wanted her to leave alone." I lay my head on my desk, "Sebastian why does this always happen to me?"

"My Lord you're just to caring." He laughs.

I shoot out of my seat, "As if I care!"

"I'm sorry my lord." He still laughing, "I know I mustn't laugh but she always gets what she wants from you when you are busy."

"So does someone else I know." I say before I could stop it.

Sebastian has quite laughing now and is giving me a devilish smile.

"My Lord." He start's moving towards me.

"I didn't mean it like that Sebastian." I start walking backwards, "damn you Demon!" I laugh as he get's closer. I finally hit the wall.

"You have no where to run now, Ceil." He moves in front of me.

I smile, "You know, you are the devil Sebastian."

"I know." He wraps his arms around me, "But you know you can't live without me."

"You know what?" I move closer to him and smile up at him, "you're right Sebastian. I can't." I wrap my arms around his shoulder and just as our lips almost touch I hear my worst nightmare. "She's here." I let go, but he still has ahold of me.

"I never thought she would be on time." He looks down at me and smiles, "But we can always continue this after the party and everyone has gone to bed. Merry Christmas My Lord." He kisses me forehead and moves away quickly just as Elizabeth bursts thought the door.

"Ceil!" she throws her arms around me.

"Elizabeth have you ever head of knocking?"

"Of course but I don't have to because I'm you're fiancée. I have every right, and how many times do I have remind you to call me Lizzie?" She let's go of me.

"Yes Elizabeth I know you are. You won't let me forget."I go back to my seat, "Sebastian make sure everything is ready for the party tonight."

"Yes My Lord." He bows and leaves.

"Ceil I have bought you the prefect outfit!" She smiles.

"Elizabeth you didn't have to do that for me." I say looking at my papers.

"I know but all you were now is black. It's so ugly on you and I hate it! But you will look amazing tonight." She say's looking very confident.

"Pardon me My Lord," Sebastian walks in again, "Lady Elizabeth you better run along if you wan to get ready for the ball."

"You're quite right Sebastian. I'll see you tonight at the ball Ceil." She skips out of the room.

I lay my head on the desk, "She gives me a headache."

"You only have to endure it for a little longer My Lord. Now you must go get ready also." He smiles, and opens the door for me.

"All right," I get up and follow him out.
