Tonight was going to be one hell of a night. Sophia was serving alongside Sebastian while Mey-Rin boo wooed upstairs. Master Trancy and Master Phantomhive are chatting at the dinner table well more like Alois is chatting up Ciel who isn't saying very much. Claude stayed right next to Alois serving him with such grace that it almost makes Sophia feel out of her element. Sebastian and Claude were top butlers getting the privilege to rub shoulders with them could be intimidating. She straightens her neck and returns to the kitchen for a second bottle of wine. Sebastian asked her to get a second but the master hadn't finished the first. Sophia knew better than to question Sebastian especially in front of the masters so she silently obeys. Sophia steps into the kitchen and gets ready to go to the wine cellar as she starts down the stairs her uniform lifts up just enough for her to see that's there's a hole in the thigh of her pantyhose. Sophia swears under her breath as she continues down the stairs. Sophia can swear she hears Sebastian's voice announcing someones arrival from upstairs but she shakes it off. After all Alois was already here so who would be visiting at dinnertime? Sophia gets the wine from the cellar without a hitch and goes back upstairs to the kitchen. After she returns to the dining room she discovers a new guest. The guest is Damian from the manufacturing company. Sophia doesn't bring out the wine right away instead she gathers herself in the kitchen. She had seen this man before but where? She decides that she can't remain in the kitchen for the rest of night. Although it was true she did recognize Damian but would he know her? Sophia gets a bad feeling. She had done bad things in her past that had to remain a secret or else she would surely be executed for her crimes.
Sophia comes out of the kitchen and into the dining room as quietly as possible. Maybe if she was quiet enough he wouldn't notice her. Sophia really wishes Mey-Rin was in her place right now even if she was in love with Sebastian. The night goes on without a problem it seems. Ciel and Damian talk business even Alois throws in his two cents although no one asks. Sebastian taps Sophia on the arm lightly she looks up into his face and his eyes are redder like before. He ushers her into the kitchen for a quick word. Sebastian straightens the collar of his jacket before he speaks. He pauses for quite a while which makes Sophia worry.
"I haven't brought you here to reprimand you." he says
Sophia would have breathed a sigh of relief but what did Sebastian want. She knows that she wants her hands all over his body and his on hers. She smiles at the thought.
"What are you smiling about?" he asks.
"Oh..nothing Sebastian except..."
Sophia smiles again.
"You're a dirty young lady Ms. Sophia." says Sebastian
He doesn't smile back but he draws closer.
"Kiss me." whispers Sophia
"That's not quite so simply done for me. I warned you Ms. Sophia." he says
His eyes seem to turn a deep ruby red.
"What if—I'm not afraid?" asks Sophia
She had to concentrate to keep from stuttering. She in fact was afraid of what would happen next. Did she really want to get involved with a butler that was into witchcraft? Sophia hesitates but decides to move closer to Sebastian.
"Kiss me. Just once." she whispers again.
"Mind your manners Ms. Sophia otherwise things could get rather hard for you." says Sebastian.
Sophia can tell that he means this as a sexual reference. Sebastian really took her breath away just the thought of a kiss from someone so powerful and handsome was too much.
"You're so sexy. Do you feel the same way about me?" Sophia asks.
Someone clears their throat from behind Sophia. She turns around in pure shock and embarrassment. Mey-Rin stares back at her from behind her coke-bottom glasses. Sophia wants to sink into a pit of quicksand just to hide from Mey-Rin.
"Sebastian I have readied the room." she says
Sebastian goes back to his usual attitude.
"Then go ready another. We might have another overnight guest." he says
Mey-Rin stands there silently looking at Sophia.
"Mey-Rin I meant right away." says Sebastian.
"Sure and Sophia could I have a minute to talk with you about something—in private?"asks Mey-Rin
Sophia is just about to say no when Sebastian leaves and goes into the dining room to attend to the master.
"What do you want?" asks Sophia.
She is sure to keep her distance.
"I just thought us girls could have a talk." she says.
"A talk about what Mey-Rin?"
"Sometimes we have these...small parties just for us servants to vent and Baldroy wants to invite you." she says.
Had Mey-Rin not heard what took place between her and Sebastian? She was right there she had even cleared her throat. Now she was inviting Sophia to a servant party, why? Mey-Rin had to have a trick up her sleeve. If Mey-Rin wanted to mess with her then bring it on whatever she did Sophia could push back much harder.
"When is this party?" asks Sophia.
"Tonight on the back balcony."
"Is there a dress code?"
Mey-Rin looks at Sophia as if she just stepped on her foot.
"Dress code, no!"
"I'll be there."
"Eleven sharp. Don't be late. I will be attending with Sebastian of course."
"Good for you then."
Mey-Rin gives Sophia a look before leaving to go upstairs.
"This bitch is really starting to get on my nerves." says Sophia aloud.
She takes a deep breath and goes back to the dining room to serve the master and his guests.
