Okay for those of you who have reviewed I have come to a decision. I will try and make this story as appealing to you as I can but I'm going with a Bordon romance. Sorry to those who hate that, however there may be a slight twist.
Ch 19
Cat was taking a walk with Tavington, they were going to try and get out of this arrangement once and for all. Cat was wearing her uniform as they had just come back from riding; she had circles under her eyes from lack of sleep and was catching a slight cold.
" I'm so tired of this!" She said her nose stuffy.
Tavington ignored her as they were let into the room by one of the valets.
Cornwallis was discussing something with O'Hara when he looked up slightly amused by the sight.
" My Lord." Tavington greeted.
"Colonel Tavington." He gave a short reply.
" Miss Okano? Are you alright?" O'Hara asked.
" Do I look alright? I haven't slept in days and I'm fairly sick right now," She said.
She let out a cough before continuing on.
" My Lord it's been two weeks!" She said.
" Yes, and your point is?" He replied.
" I want to stop, don't make me do this any longer." She said.
Cornwallis sighed.
" Well, I'm sure you've completed every duty that I have requested, very well, you may leave." He said.
Cat could barely contain he excitement.
" Thank you My Lord!" She squealed before she ran out of the room.
" I'm free! I'm free!" She cried.
" So what I'm four!" Beth said coming up behind her.
Cat turned around and beamed.
" I don't have to work for Tavington anymore!" She exclaimed.
" Yeah so." Elizabeth said.
" Well, I-" Cat started to retort before Beth held up her left hand with a beautiful ring on it.
" No way!" Cat gasped pulling her hand closer.
" Way! I'm getting married!" Beth squealed.
" OMG! Well I guess that means we have to go shopping!" Cat said.
" Cat, there isn't a mall anywhere near here, we have to make that dress ourselves." Beth said.
" That sucks- I know let's use the bag!" Cat exclaimed.
" Catherine you're a genius!" Beth said as the two rushed off in a hurry to Beth's room.
Cat threw open the door and shoved all the maids out.
" But Miss! What have we done?" One protested.
" Private conversation, please, we will call you back, sorry!" Cat said.
As soon as she had locked the door Beth raced over to the bed and pulled out the bag from under the bed.
" Here!" she said closing it.
She closed her eyes and opened the bag again and pulled out the most beautiful lace and shimmering silk gown.
" Wow, It's gorgeous!" Cat said.
" And it's all mine!" Beth said.
" Hey what about me!" Cat snapped.
" Well don't you have a gown?" Beth asked pulling the dress to her body to see the length.
" Well yeah but it looks like a rag next to yours!" Cat whined.
" Fine." Beth said tossing the bag to her.
Cat wished for a lilac and green gown.
" Ha! I've got mine!" She cried throwing open the bag.
She pulled out her gown and then showed Beth.
" What do you think?" She asked.
" It's lovely it'll match your eyes just like all your other gowns do." Beth said.
" Well I have to go try it on, see ya!" And with that Cat raced out of the room pass the maids who were still waiting outside.
But Cat didn't even bother to tell them to go back in, she needed to find James.
She took her dress to her room and set it gently on the bed before heading outside to find James.
She decided he must have been putting his hose back when she bumped into someone.
" Sorry." She said.
" My apologies." They muttered.
She recognized that voice.
" Thomas?" She asked.
The boy looked up at his sister.
" Cat?" he asked.
She was happy and yet furious at him.
" What the hell are you doing here!" She demanded.
But the eight year old merely hugged his sister.
" I'm so glad to see you." He sighed.
Cat gave in and hugged him back.
" Hey little guy easy I've already got a corset on." She laughed.
Hey I'm sorry that I can't reveiw anyone's stories right now, my computer won't work!
