Chapter 3 "All I need is thee":
James is angrily pacing back and forth in his house
"I sent thee this rose and all she did was return it"
James looked down at the rose in his hand; he felt his heart ache for her more and more every day. At night he torments himself as the dreams of her ever since the fateful day at the lake flood his mind. His heart doesn't want anything but her. It had been three days, three long terrible days for James since he saw her. He was busy filling in and learning his father's position but all he could think of was her; her beautiful soft skin, her long brown hair. She denied seeing him after he requested for her so many times. He was driven insane by her
"How dare thee torment thy so"
He threw the rose to the ground in an angry lust. He needed her more than anything
"Sir thou carriage is ready for thee."
He had almost forgot today was the day he was to head over to Queen Elizabeth's court to finally take over the position his father left to him. He walked out of his mansion it was a beautiful spring day oddly it didn't matter to him she wasn't there. The birds were about and chirping and the sun above glimmered down on the lake, suddenly the memory of that day when she ran off flooded his mind; how close she was to him, how perfectly he could hold her in his arms
"Why did thou do that, I was only trying to help her. Such a silly girl she doesn't know the meaning of gratitude."
He regretted that thought.
"And yet how I cannot even go a single minute without seeing her beautiful brown eyes staring back at thy. She is so elegant and graceful tis a pity she won't see thy."
He got into the carriage and headed off to the court the memories of her still lingering in his mind. "What can thou do to get a blind one to see?"
He passed her house and remembered the fight they had there
"If only thou would have listened to me"
He passed the spot where they first met, how beautiful she was that day all worried over geese
"She stole my heart at that moment and in return gave thy bread".
He closed his eyes as he dozed off, he could see her face in his mind, her brown eyes were staring at him, and he could smell her. He felt himself wanting her more. Once he arrived at the court and he entered people he never met shook his hand saying they expected great things and it was a pity to lose his father he was a great man. He nodded it off all he cared about was her. He wanted to hold her to tell her how beautiful she was but alas he could not. He entered the main room the queen sat straight ahead from him. To his right was a table surrounded by other nobles and an empty seat he assumed was his. The queen was busy talking to a familiar figure; he could not make out who it was though he was quite taken by the figure. The queen turned and looked at him she smiled and signaled to the empty seat. The girl next to her turned and looked at him she let out small gasp. He couldn't believe it was her; his heart raced she look more beautiful then he remember. She quickly turned back and continued talking to the queen. He made his way over to the empty seat. He sat down and the man next to him introduced himself
"Good day to you sir you must be Lord James Tradescant; I' am Lord William Pek thou was a good friend of thy father"
He shook his hand and talked to him but James's mind was focused on her and her alone. He kept glancing back to see if she was looking at him. He thought she may have glimpsed a couple of times but he was unsure. She started to walk away from the queen fast as if she didn't want his eyes to notice her.
The queen spoke and introduced him and the meeting commenced. James emerged hours later hoping to catch a glimpse of Isabella but she was gone.
"Isabelle; woman that has stolen thy heart where art thou. Bring thy heart back to me and make thy complete."
He headed home in the carriage his heart was aching more for her... he slowly fell asleep and dreamed. He saw Isabella lying in bed next to him; her soft skin against his and her smell. She turned over to him and kissed him.
"How are thee my husband"
She asked, and then suddenly she started nipping at his neck and shoulder whisper "I love you "in his ear. He started to move his hand to her sex... to show her how much he loved her. A servant suddenly shook him awake
"My lord we are home"
Furious his dream...his hearts wish was interrupted he yelled
"How dare thee wake me from my slumber I shall have your head ".
James had enough; that dream had said all, he knew once and for all her needed her.
"If thou will not come at my request I shall come to thee"
He grabbed his horse and headed off to find Isabelle his hearts one and only desire
