Chapter 9
Plans for dinner
Ian and Amy got to the mansion just in time for lunch. They were sweaty, and they were all over each other. Dan didn't like the looks of the situation. It appeared that Nellie didn't like it either. As she was the first one to say anything. "What have you two been up to ?" Asked Nellie. "Ian and i went up to the field for awhile. Then decided to come back for lunch, so we had a race." Said Amy. "Which i won by the way" Ian added. "It's not all about winning Ian" said Amy playfully. "I won fair and square ! You just don't want to pay up." Said Ian. "Fine" Amy grumbled. "I believe that will be one kiss, no i think a nice long snog
should do." Said Ian. With that they were as Ian and Natalie called it, Snogging.
"I'm out of here." Said Dan. Dan got up to eat lunch in his room. As he did he mumbled, "a guy can't ever eat in peace anymore."
As Dan entered his room he started thinking. He started thinking about what he promised himself earlier. That he was going to our up with them. Only so Natalie wouldn't be right about Amy being to low class for her brother. Certainly not right about Ian breaking up with Amy. She couldn't have her heart broken by him, not ever again. Dan concluded that he better bite his tongue when he's around them.
Natalie entered her room. Already focusing on a plan to break-up her brother and that stuttering peasant. I can easily convince Dan to help me with my new plan. He had already had enough of their kissing at meal times. The Starlings and Hamilton would be another story. They were all for Ian and Amy dating and kissing. Jonah it seemed didn't really care. This should be easy enough Natalie thought. Dan and i practically run the Amy + Ian meetings. So we'll have our dear cousins do all the work that we tell them to do. To keep Amy and Ian together. While me and Dan are behind the scenes unconsciously ruining it. Perfect Natalie thought. Now just to talk to Dan.
There was a knock at Dan's door. "Come in !" Shouted Dan. When the door opened Natalie was standing there. A devious smile on her face. Oh boy this can't be good Dan thought.
"I was thinking love." Said Ian loud enough for the entire table to hear. "That i should take you out for dinner tonight." Said Ian. "That sounds well lovely Ian" Amy said. "It sounds lovely for me to chaperone you" said Nellie. Ian looked at Amy. Then beck at Nellie, "that will be fine with us." "Just one thing. Where are you taking me ?" Asked Amy. "That shall remain surprise love." Said Ian.
Dan knew enough to get out of his room before Natalie said a word. That's just what he did. He left Natalie standing in the doorway of his room. Looking completely stunned.
