Love For The Earl
"Thanks very much! I will have a good supper tonight!" I told the woman that sold me some ingredients at the market. She didn't budge a smile, but threw a glare at me. Sorry for trying to be friendly lady. As I spin to walk to my carriage where Melina my family's butler sits, I see him. His teal hair lightly caresses his pale cheeks. He stands tall and mighty, cane in hand. He strolls down the street with such significance. Everyone tosses him the usual smile or wave. But I just stare. I can feel myself practically drooling over him, but what 13 year old wouldn't? He locks his eyes onto mine and I blush, my cheeks turning a deep wine red. About as red as my eyes. Oh god! What if he's thinking about how strange my eyes are? I shift my eyes toward the stone brick road and make my way to the carriage. I accidently bump into Ciel.
"Sorry, I-I'm so very sorry. Please forgive me!"
"It's fine, just a wee bit mistake. Not your fault."
I swear my face is on fire, as red as my cheeks are. I do a slight curtsy and shuffle towards my carriage again. I know I should be embarrassed to death, but a smile creeps on my face. I don't speak or even mumble the whole carriage ride home. I just. Smile. I hand my mom the groceries and run all the way up the flight of stairs to my room. I lay on the bed and do everything a boy-crazed teenage girl would. I laugh, I smile, I blush, and I just sit thinking about him. Hopefully I have a class with him. I hear he will be coming to the Academy next month, his butler suggested it I presume. His butler has wine red eyes, just like me. It's kind of strange. After supper I dress in my night gown, blow out the candles, and dream about him.
On the way to the estate, I can't help but let my curiosity overcome me.
"Sebastian, weren't those girls eyes very strange?"
Sebastian looks up at me confusingly while I continue to glance out of the window.
"I mean she had very deep red eyes, like yours. Is it possible that…"
"She's a demon too?"
He read my mind. I hate it when he knows exactly what I'm going to say, but I love it at the same time.
" Precisely. Sebastian, I want you to find out as much information about her as you can, and be back in time to have supper ready."
I continue to glance out the window, head resting in hand.
"Yes, my lord." And he is off like that. Oh that Sebastian. He can really amaze me, intrigue me. He never completely fails me. It's hard for me though, I can never look him straight in his eyes, or I'll get lost in them.
