Hello my dears! Here is chapter three of my story :) Between studying for exams I just found some time to post it! Remember to R and R and also follow/favorite! I shall see you at the bottom of the page!
Robin and I strolled back to the manor, in no hurry whatsoever to get back. I looked down at my dress and laughed as the soaking wet fabric dripped water to the ground. Ms. Heliotrope would not be pleased, but that was no matter. I was used to getting lectures about my dirty dresses now that I lived in Moonacre. We quietly walked into the manor, and I immediately ran upstairs to change, hoping that no one would notice. Thankfully, no one did. I came back down the stairs in a fresh red dress and met Robin at the steps.
"I saw your father's horse as we came in. He must have beaten us here. Perhaps you better go see him and I will join Loveday and Ms. Heliotrope in the other room." I said. Robin agreed and we went our separate ways. I knocked softly on the parlor door and they let me in.
"Ah, Maria dear! We were worried you were never coming back." Ms. Heliotrope said. I laughed and sat down in my favorite chair.
"What are we discussing?" I asked as I smoothed out the wrinkles in my dress. Loveday looked at Ms. Heliotrope, who then gave her a nod.
"Maria, I must ask you a most important question." Loveday said. She was smiling from head to toe and I wondered what she had to say.
"I want you to be my junior bridesmaid for the wedding next week." Wait. Did she really just say next week?
"Of course, but the wedding is next week? Isn't that a little early?" I asked her.
"It may seem like it dear, but everything is ready and planned. I think all that is left to do is get you a dress." Loveday replied.
"Oh my! We can get her a grand new dress from London!" Ms. Heliotrope suggested. I looked over at Loveday, wondering if she would agree to this since she was used to making all my dresses for me. She didn't say no, though she did not say yes either. More like she just gave a nod in agreement. Sure enough, two days later, a new dress was delivered to the manor.
"It's here! It's here!" Ms. Heliotrope shouted as she ran to the door. I peeked around a column as she opened the doors to the manor. She brought in a big brown package and tore it open before I had even gotten over to her.
"Ms. Heliotrope I don't mean to be a nag but shouldn't I get to open the package?" I said. She laughed as she realized what she had done. She smiled and backed away from the package. I tore open the rest of the wrapping and pulled out a midnight blue colored dress.
"The midnight blue is the main color of the wedding." Loveday said as she came up behind me to look at the dress.
"Oh Loveday thank you so much!" I said as I gave her a big hug. I took the dress upstairs to my bedroom and put it on my mannequin. I had a hard time believing that Loveday would have approved of this dress. It was so "Londonized" which was totally opposite of her style. I smiled as I got an idea. I started ripping certain parts of cloth off the dress as I transformed it into a Moonacre dress. It was the day before the wedding, and I was almost done with the dress after much sewing and ripping.
"Maria! Can I come in?" It was Loveday. I grabbed the dress off the mannequin and hid it under the bed so that she wouldn't see it. I wanted the dress to be a surprise at the wedding.
"Come in, Loveday!" I said to her.
"I have a surprise for you!" She said as he came in.
"What is it?" I asked her. She grabbed my hands and led me over to sit down on the bed.
"Your uncle has asked Robin to be a groomsman in the wedding, and he is going to walk you down the aisle!" She said. My eyes shot wide open. Robin? Walking me down the aisle? How come I had a feeling I was going to mess this up. Big time.
Well! There is chapter 4! I know it is really short, but this was more of just a filler chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it and I shall surely be updating soon!
