Iwatsuki91 Thanks. Does Pls mean please?
WhiteCamellia Hey, it's not that time consuming. Speaking of GS, they had a GS night at S.C.T. (the Community Theater, or Stockton Civic Theater) for the play, "Guys and Dolls." Anyway, there is this really cute guy in it that I met before on account of being a well, GS. I was supposed to go and be a Program Aid for this younger girl troop. The meeting was canceled at the last minute! But thank my lucky stars (I never say that.), my dad couldn't take me home because he didn't have time to take me home, because he had to be at the theater for practice. E-mail me for the rest of the story. It's sort of funny.
Emma-J-Riddle LOL.
Chapter 6: For My Love
It was the day before the auction. This year, it was to be disguised as a ball. The guests were already sent invitations months in advance. Our owner sent an invitation to his nephew, Brandon that he was always ragging on about as a gag. Then all of us girls were to be sold.
Female servants, including myself rushed back and forth to make sure all the duties were met. This way, they would be made as beautiful as possible before the auction ball. That was Chloe's (Leah's) job. She had accumulated many skills since she had begun to work there.
Now today was the big day of the ball his uncle had invited him to. He sat back in the carriage he was riding in, dressed semi-formally. Something was up and he knew it. He just had to find out what it was.
Arianna was sitting in front of the mirror after three baths getting her smooth, shiny, black hair brushed by Leah (Chloe). Arianna looked lovely in the simple, purple gown she was wearing. It made her look perfect in every way. Her small tiara was made of purplish diamonds and her anonymous ring turned a dark shade of purple magically. "You look beautiful," Leah said. I turned and smiled to her and said, "I wouldn't look this good without your superior skills."
She smiled back. Then she hugged me for almost two minutes. Then whispered in my ear, "I'll miss you sorely."
The auction ball began with an introduction to the young ladies that were to be sold. Arianna noticed that he was introducing them with their fake names. "Of course they're real nobles," she heard their notorious owner say. "You don't think I'd waste my time teaching them etiquette do you?" Then she heard him bellow with laughter.
Arianna turned out to be the star of the show with gentlemen asking left and right for her to dance. She turned them all down.
Leah was dancing with her husband when she saw a guy come in late. He headed straight for them walking quickly. They stopped dancing even though the music was still playing. Her husband turned to him and shook hands with him. "Brandon!" So this was his nephew. He was actually kind of, how do I put this? Drop dead gorgeous! "I didn't really expect you to come. How are you?"
"Wonderful uncle, and you?"
"Happier every day. Welcome to my humble home."
Brandon smiled and then he saw her. "Who's that?" he asked breathlessly.
"I know that look," thought Leah. "And he is looking straight at Natalie, or whatever her real name is!" She smirked and whispered into her husband's ear, "I think it's time for me to sing a song like you've been nagging me all night to do." He nodded.
The men had finally cleared away from her, admiring the other girls that were for sale. "They're still going to bid for me," she thought ironically.
The master of the mansion walked up onto the stage and spoke to the crowd. "Ladies and Gentlemen, my wife Chloe has offered to sing a song for you all, as she rarely does." I smiled. Leah never sang in public unless there was a special reason. Leah walked onto the stage and smiled. Then she began to sing a song called, "For my love."
Just before the song, I saw a young man staring at mein awe. I think I fell in love at that moment.
Walk towards meI want to hear
The heavens singing over you
He walked towards me uncertainly.
When you breathe
And look at me
I want to be captured by you
I did want to.
Gaze into my eyes
He did.
And let me know you'd fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
He didn't even have to ask. I did it.
Ask me to dance with you tonight
He did.
Just ask me for my love
I want to hide
What's deep in my eyes
I'm scared to be known by you
I was until…
But when I turn my head
I turned my head.
And see you there
I want to be pursued
It was almost like magic had taken hold of us.
Gaze into my eyes
And let me know you'd fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
He twirled me.
Just ask me for my love
A dream I won't wake from
I stared at him thinking, "Is this a dream?"
A story that will never end
The ground your feet walk on
Let me be there, let me be there
Gaze into my eyes
let me know you'd fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Just ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love
Gaze into my eyes
And let me know you'd fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Ask me for my love
Leah smiled at us. It was the first time I had danced all night, and I'd actually enjoyed it. But doom was soon to come.
Author's Note: I hope this one wasn't to long. Whenever I read or write stories that I like, I always seem to find the perfect songs for them somewhere. The actual person who sings, "For My Love," is the music artist, Bethany Dillon. If you want to actually hear this awesome song, then the song number on the c.d. is 5.
