Chapter 7
Celeste looked up at the commodore, trying to keep a solemn look on her face. Trying to mask her excitement and ruining this long awaited event. Her father would be so pleased! Commodore was a fine man, and would be her fine husband.
The commodore looked up at the sky, trying to put together his thoughts again. He looked down at Celeste and smiled.
"Marriage is very important, just as the right woman is important."
Celeste shivered in delight, she? Important?
"I have thought a lot about this decision" He continued.
Celeste braced herself for his proposal. Imagine her! Married to the Commodore!
"I want to ask.."
Celeste could barely keep from screaming out yes.
'.For Elizabeth's hand in marriage"
Celeste looked meekly up at Norrington. " What a wonderful idea" she said trying to sound at least a little happy for him, while her whole world went blurry and she started fighting back tears.
"Thank you, I believe it will be magnificent, Governor Swann approves also. I did not want to bore you, but you are Elizabeth's friend, and I needed more council" The Commodore said proudly.
"A smart match Commodore, But you must excuse me, for I am wanted back home" Celeste turned and walked as fast as she could to the front gates, and then broke out into a run.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
How could she have been so stupid? She fell in love with a man who loved another! Well maybe she didn't love him, but it was still tragic. "Ugh! I cannot believe I thought he was going to ask for my hand!" she said aloud and immediately rolled over and stuffed her face into her pillow and screamed. She had cried all day and night and was still lying in bed, fully dressed beating her self up mentally the next morning.
"Of course he would like Elizabeth better, she is handsome, rich and powerful, and what am I? Nothing." She wanted to fling herself into the ocean and drown. It was because she was shy, wasn't it, or maybe she had a spot on her face she had not seen. maybe she just wasn't worth it for anyone to love, she was doomed to live the rest of her live without love. Celeste sat straight up when there was a knock on the door. "Come in" she said, not really wanting company and covered her head with blankets.
Audrey strolled into the room " why are you still in bed! It's a lovely morning" she opened the curtains and windows to expose the warm sun and cool ocean breeze. Audrey walked over to Celeste's bed and sat beside the lump under the bedcovers " the baker just down the street made fresh.....Celeste! Why do you look like you've been crying!?" Celeste slowly sat up, blinking in the sunlight.
"I have not."
"I can tell, now Celeste, what is the matter?"
"Well, I just kind of thought a man was going to propose to me and he was talking about another girl, oh and Audrey I don't know what to do!" Celeste wailed in a short breath and immediately started weeping.
"Why don't you explain it to me" Audrey said as she stroked her cousin's hair. Once Celeste stopped sniffling, she explains the whole ordeal to Audrey.
"Celeste, I do believe you are being a little dramatic over the situation. There will be many more man, and you are young" Audrey explained after she had heard the story. "Lets take a stroll to the docks for some fresh air."
Celeste nodded, and got out of bed. She slid on a grayish blue dress, to match her mood, and the to girls left the house.
