Chapter 3
It was getting closer to dinner time; the food would be served soon; just then the doorbell went again. This time Ned went to answer it and smiled when he opened the door as he saw the Baratheon's had all arrived. Robert Baratheon, forty-two, grinned when he saw his best friend.
"Ned, good to see you again."
Ned smiled back. "Same to you, old friend."
Robert laughed jovially and entered along with his family. This included his wife, thirty-nine year old Cersei, and their children; nineteen year old Joffrey, seventeen year old Myrcella and sixteen year old Tommen. All of them were well dressed; Robert in dark green trousers, a yellow shirt and black shoes. The boys were dressed up well too, Joffrey in black suit trousers, a white button-up shirt, red suit jacket and brown shoes while Tommen was clad in light brown trousers, a white shirt and black shoes.
The two females looked lovely, Cersei in a long green V-necked backless dress and golden heels and Myrcella in a yellow knee length spaghetti strap dress with yellow strap heels. Robert and his family weren't alone either, with them was Robert's youngest brother, thirty-six year old Renly; dressed elegantly in black suit trousers, a green shirt, yellow tie and camel coloured shoes.
He and Ned greeted each other happily and Ned turned to the last three guests. Robert's forty year old brother Stannis, along with his wife, thirty-nine year old Selyse and their daughter, sixteen year old Shireen.
Ned welcomed them; Stannis was the first, clad in a sombre black tuxedo with a grey shirt, black tie and black shoes.
"Stannis, Selyse, good to see you."
Stannis nodded and shook Ned's hand, Selyse merely nodded, her eyes narrowed as she seemed to be struggling to control her anger. The source of her anger was undoubtedly her daughter's 'inappropriate' outfit. While Selyse was dressed in a long decent grey dress with grey heels; Shireen's dressed was different.
It was light violet in colour and while still long, the skirt had a slit up the left hand side, right to the top of the thigh. This showed she was wearing a pair of mid-thigh length, dark semi-transparent stockings with garter attachments, a pair of white flats finished the outfit. While not all that revealing; it was certainly an outfit Selyse would find obscene.
Selyse's mood did not improve as they headed through to join the others; for the moment Rickon and Shireen saw each other, they immediately close the gap between them and hugged, exchanging a quick greeting before kissing. Selyse glared, her fury building,
"Wow…" Was Rickon's eloquent reply when they parted and he took in her outfit.
Shireen laughed. "I thought you'd like it."
There was no doubt Selyse was fuming now, but Stannis prevented her complaints with a warning look and things seemed to ease as they all joined the others.
They were still waiting for some more guests, the dinner was being served however. It was just then, as it was being served, that the doorbell went one more time; the guests were quickly let in and joined them, it was the Lannister's, Cersei's family, her father, sixty year old Tywin; her twin brother Jaime and thirty-five year old Tyrion, her and Jaime's younger brother.
With them was Tyrion's adopted son, Sansa's boyfriend, nineteen year old Podrick Payne. They all soon were seated, Tyrion perched on a bar stool to reach the table. All of them were well dressed. Both Tywin and Jaime in tuxedos, Tywin's black and Jaime's white, Tywin had a white shirt, black tie and black shoes and Jaime a red shirt and white shoes.
Tyrion went for less fancy but still smart clothes with black trousers a brown shirt and black shoes. Pod meanwhile wore simple camel coloured trousers with a matching jacket over his white shirt and black polished shoes.
Sansa was relieved Pod was finally present, it meant she no longer had to worry about Joffrey's glares in her direction, the two of them had dated previously but split up after the horrible way he treated her.
"Well, thank you all for coming." Ned told the assembled guests.
Robb looked around carefully. "Is this everyone?"
Roose Bolton was the one to reply. "I should say so."
Unseen by anyone but her family however, Arya discretely shook her head, Gendry hadn't arrived yet.
Later, while eating, the family and their guests all talked; some of the conversation was casual, in some cases about business. A few people were confused, noting Arya seemed insistent on keeping the chair next to her empty. Pod bit his lip as he saw Joffrey glaring and turned to Sansa.
"Sansa, I…Joffrey's giving us the evil eye again." He said softly.
Sansa smiled and took his hand under the table. "Don't worry about it Pod; I'm not scared of him anymore."
Pod smiled at that and nodded. Arya observed them wistfully before glancing at the empty chair next to her.
'Dammit, I hope Gendry gets here soon.' She thought to herself; glaring as Ramsay approached her, smirking. 'Urgh, he just doesn't get it.'
"So Arya…" He began with a smirk.
She shook her head. "Ramsay I…"
He cut her off however. "There's no need Arya, I know what you want to say."
"You clearly don't." She snarled. "If you did, you wouldn't have come near me."
Ramsay seemed perplexed by this. "What, Arya, I…
"Obviously I wasn't clear, let me try again." She said, keeping remarkably calm. "I'm…not…interested."
Ramsay scowled at her and stalked away, muttering to himself. Arya shook her head, sending a warning glare at Torrance Karstark; who looked like he was about to approach her.
'Urgh, there's only so many ways I can say it, do they not understand simple words for fuck sake.' She thought angrily. 'I'm not interested in either of them and this stupid game their families are playing is getting old, fast.'
She looked around at her family again, smiling lightly as she observed them with their loved ones. Robb and Talisa were talking quietly together, Pod and Sansa had finished eating and were kissing, much to Joffrey's anger. Bran and Meera had also finished and were sitting quietly, Meera had her head on Bran's shoulder. Rickon and Shireen were still eating but using opposite hands, leading Arya to believe their other hands were linked under the table.
'The sooner Gendry gets here the better, this charade can end. They'll see then, I'm taken.' She thought to herself.
She only prayed she would not have to wait long.
Her prayers were soon answered when the doorbell went again, much to the surprise of the guests. She stood up, smiling and went to answer it.
'Finally.' She thought to herself happily.
She opened the door and grinned when she saw it was indeed Gendry, her twenty-two year old boyfriend, standing there.
"Gendry." She said softly, relieved that he had finally arrived.
He smiled at her. "Hey Arry."
She couldn't help but notice he had tidied up really well. His hair wasn't a mess anymore, there were no odd spots of grease or oil from his work that he had missed, he was also dressed smartly. Instead of his usual casual clothing, he was wearing smart black trousers, a light blue shirt and black polished shoes. They hugged and Arya at once felt at peace, it seemed to her the dinner party would now be bearable after all.
End of chapter, two more chapters will be set at the dinner party, the remaining chapters will be after it, anyway, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
