Chapter10: Two in One Day
Merle had a wonderful night at the ball. All night her and Chris had just had the time of their lives and as she crept out of his room early that morning, a huge smile spread across her face, remembering the events of the previous night.
She was creeping down the corridor, when she saw Van. She ducked behind a pillar and waited for him to pass. He didn't look like himself. He looked somewhat dazed as if he was in another world. She decided that she would just ask him what was wrong and risk all the awkward questions about where she had spent the night.
"Van what's..." Merle said but before she could finish he just turned the corner without a backward glance.
~That was weird ~ she thought. ~He probably didn't hear me.~ She carried on down the corridor until she found her room and went to try and catch up on some sleep.
************************************************************************
Hitomi was serving breakfast and noticed that Merle wasn't at the table but neither was the king. The lady in red was however and for some reason this made her feel better. As she went serve Alan he grabbed her wrist and with an expansive gesture, called for another servant to serve and for Hitomi to join the table. She tried to protest but in the end she just gave in to stop all the commotion. A chair was brought for her and she was sat beside Alan. At that moment Van entered. For a moment their eyes locked and she saw a flicker of something there, maybe rage , but she just dismissed it. He went and took his seat at the head of the table.
"Lord Van, good morning. I trust you slept well last night?" This came from the lady in red.
""Yes thank you Lady Zyron. I hope you and everyone else enjoyed the ball last night?" Replied Van.
"I bet she did..." muttered Hitomi under her breath. She was immediately mortified at her childishness and decided to weed the gardens for an hour as penance.
The rest of breakfast went on very smoothly and everyone went their separate ways.
************************************************************************
Van sat on the fountain in the water garden. He needed some time to think and he found the water helped a lot. He missed his family. At a time like this Folken would have been able to tell him what to do. Last night had been good. He liked Lady Zyron and was very attracted to her but something was holding him back. She was funny, kind and very sexy but it wasn't her he had dreamt about last night. He couldn't forget about Hitomi no matter how hard he tried. All of a sudden he was hit with this huge burst of rage. Hitomi was nothing to him. She was a servant. A mere servant who was stupid enough to fall for Alan's charms. He would pursue a relationship with Lady Zyron and if things go right he may even marry her. He left the fountain and stormed off still in a rage.
************************************************************************
Zyron stood and watched the king. Things were going as planned and it made her feel good. She had not wanted this job but had decided that it had to be done. She looked once more as he stormed off in a rage. The first stage was complete, the next would be tricky but she would do it. She always did.
************************************************************************
Merle awoke to find that it was mid afternoon and she was not alone. Chris was just sitting by her bed looking at her.
"Hey stranger," she said." How are you?"
He didn't say anything and just kept looking at her. His eyes were very intense and it was beginning to weird how out. She knew he would never hurt her or anything but someone just staring at you is kinda creepy.
"Chris why are4 you staring at me like that? What's wrong?"
He stayed silent and just stared.
"Chris stop it you're creeping me out. Chris.?"
"Marry me."
************************************************************************
Hitomi was weeding in the garden as she had promised herself when Alan came up behind her.
"What the****!! Alan you scared three kinds of shite out of me. What do you want?" Hitomi didn't feel like having company right now. She just wanted to lose herself in her task.
"Sorry Tomi. I actually have something very important to ask you."
"Ask then." She knew she was being mean but she really didn't want to talk.
Alan looked at her, was this really the right time. He shrugged it off, squared his shoulders and just blurted it out,
"Marry me".
Well what do you think? I know its short but all my chapters are. Don't forget to review. Thanx.
