I smile at reviews especially long ones! :D
Xmileylovex: haha I don't know what to do about the raiting xD I think your right :D and thank you for your 'your story is different' comment :D I try for that kind of thing.
Nileyfan1: 1. The James in book and in rl will be explained later. 2. When he does tell (I forget if its in the chapter or the next one) he doesn't tell the full story so you MIGHT be right or you MIGHT be wrong xD and 3. You'll find out what happened with james…now :D
Enjoy.
I looked around me. "Please Sir. Not here. Please" I didn't want to discuss this in front of people. He sighed.
"Let's go." The walk to the car and the ride back to the Castle were silent. "To my room now" he commanded and I nodded. I ran up the stairs and waited for him by his door. He opened it and then dragged me into the room. "Tell me now" he ordered.
"I told you that I stole from another Lord. It was Lord James." I felt tears fall. "The night before he casted me away to that horrible place I was in" I didn't dare look at him. "He called me into his room and knocked me out cold." I heard his breath getting faster. "When I woke up I was in the middle of the castle naked and people were staring at me. He said that this is how I should be, naked and exposed." I looked up at him. "I told you sir, I shouldn't have gone." Nate closed his eyes and sighed.
"Go sit on the bed." I listened to him. He walked over to me. "Give me your wrist" I held it out. He lightly touched the marks that James left and sighed again. "I'm sorry." He said quietly. "I shouldn't have left you" I touched his cheek.
"Its fine sir. I shouldn't have said anything. You don't have to worry about me."
"But I want to." I tilted my head in confusion. He glared at me. Oh no. "Your mine." I kept my eyes from widening. "I get to do what I want with you!" He yelled harshly and then pulled my hand off of his cheek.
"Sir. Please." He just shook his head. "Lord Nathan stop" I said. He started reaching for me but I crawled more onto the bed. "No. Please Nate" I said softly. He stopped and looked at me.
"W-wwhat did you call me?" He stuttered. His face started to change from angry to relief? I'm not to sure.
"I said Nate." I told him honestly. "I'm sorry I-" he held his hand up.
"Just go." I nodded and bowed. I ran to do door when he spoke. "Miley" I looked toward him. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have scared you. This is just fuel to your fire." He never looking at me he sighed. "Go" I opened the door and ran down to my room. I closed my door and ran to my bed. I felt the tears fall on to the pillow. I heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I asked softly.
"Its Alice" He voice came through. I told her to come in. I looked up at her, tears running and all and she ran over and hugged me. "Oh Miley. Please, please tell me he didn't do anything." I shook my head and kept hugging her.
"No he didn't do anything. James was at the mall" she pulled away in surprise, I had told her all about my past.
"Oh dear." She hugged me again. "Oh its okay" she said when she felt me shaking more. She started rocking me back and forth. "Shhhh its okay" after a little bit I calmed down and she pulled away "Better?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yeah." I thought about how Nate reacted when I did call him Nate. I don't know why but he's the only one I've ever called by their name. I mean in my head, expect for now. "Alice. Was there anyone who called Nathan 'Nate'?" Her eyes widen.
"OH miles I wish I could tell you but I can't. That's something between the family. I'm sorry" I nodded.
"Its fine, its just something almost happened today and then I called him Nate and he totally changed and stopped what he was doing." She sighed.
"I swear Miley, You'll know sooner or later. Just don't bring it up to him again okay? Unless he says so don't call him Nate. Ever." I nodded.
"Miss. Jacobs" Alice turned to the door and we saw Francesca standing there. "Your lord is calling for you." Alice sighed happily. I smiled.
"Thank you Francesca" the older woman nodded and left. I smiled at Alice.
"Your in love" She giggled and lightly slapped my shoulder.
"Be quiet." She hugged me one more time. "Be careful" I laughed.
"I will" We pulled away and she walked out of the room. I sighed and looked around. For once I didn't want to do write so I walked out of my room. Closing the door I looked around and started walking downstairs. I checked the time. 10. Good I can go into the library. Servants were only allowed in the library, unless they worked there, from 10am-1pm and then 5pm-7pm. I walked in and looked at the huge room, which was also part of the second story. It was just loaded with books. I smiled and head over to the Jane Austen part and just took out a book.
I was barely reading to tell you the truth, just passing the time, when a younger girl came up and tapped on my shoulder. I looked at her.
"I'm sorry but you have to leave" She said lowly. I nodded and put the book back.
"Thank you" I said to her and head out the doors. When I walked out Nate was walking toward me. When he got to me I bowed. "Lord Nathan" I said and then stood straight. He sighed and waved his hand. I followed him. We walked past the kitchen out to the garden in the back. It was lined with big hedges and a gate, beyond that there were rose that surrounded it. It was beautiful and peaceful.
"My mother" he spoke softly "She loved roses." He smiled and chuckled. "My father would leave a rose on his pillow every morning he wasn't there to wake her up. She would hold on to it all day. Her favorite were Red."
"Love" I said quietly. He looked at me and nodded. "The red ones are love, that's why its mostly picked for dates. The white ones are pure because white usually means purity. A lot of people like having both in an arrangement for weddings cause combined they can mean pure love, symbolizing the love the couple have." He looked token back by all my over loading information. I giggled. "Sorry sir." He shook his head.
"Its fine. Where did you learn your information from?" I sighed.
"Before my parents died they tried to teach me everything I could. I never got the general stuff, it bored me, but I loved facts." He nodded.
"Miley, I'm sorry" I looked up at him. "I'm trying." I nodded.
"Its fine." He shook his head.
"But its not. I should scare you, I should make you worry when your around me." He gently grabbed my wrist, small marks still showing. "I should be one to leave marks on you." He let my wrist go and he put his hand on my cheek. "I'm sorry Miley. I'm messed up." I gently smiled.
"Its okay. I promise." He smiled.
"And I'm sorry" I looked confused "For this." And right there and then Lord Nathan Eric Grey's lips were pressed to mine. I was taken back by it but I started kissing back. The kiss was sweet and soft. He pulled away and looked at me. I looked into his eyes and saw want but also despair. "I'm sorry" He lifted his hands off of my cheek. "I am." And he ran off. I brought my fingers up to my lips and smiled.
Nate Grey just kissed me.
I kissed him back.
Then I looked around and saw the widen eyes of a girl from the gate.
Oh shit.
Someone was watching.
I know Nate is weird with his moods but there are things in his life that have gone a wee bit crazy. Lol
Next chapter you find out why Nate wasn't know as well as the other family members :D just a little hint dropper.
And yes I know this one is short compared to the other too, but I wanted this one to be a sweet one okay? K? :D
Alright, bye
