Chapter 4
It was the day of Angelique's Masqurade ball and she was very excited but nervous. She was nervous because she was going to grace the people with her voice and because Matthew would possibly be there. She was there with her Governess Ulliana and The Stable boy William. William was Twenty years old and had worked there seven years. Angelique and him were the best of friends since then. William had light brown hair and deep brown eyes. He was so handsome and kind. He was also very much in love with Angelique since the moment he met her. He wanted to be the one to make the saddness in her eyes vanish and never come back ever again. For about a year he had been meaning to ask her to marry him but he never thought he was good enough for her. He always thought to himself 'I'm the stable boy. She's the Angel. A Fallen Angel. An Angel Of Pain. But it would be a sin for one of god's Angels love a Stable Boy. What a piece of filth I am. God help me! I'm in love with one of your Angels.How I love her so.' He had taken out the beautiful ring while thinking these troulbling thoughts. He heard the door click shut and he had realized that Angelique had entered the room at that moment. He quickly slipped the ring into his pocket of his old worn pants. "Bonjour Madmoiselle Angel. How is your day going so far?" He asked looking up to that Beautiful face. He was the only one who called her Angel and Angelique liked it that way. "Oh Will! I am filled with such high spirits today! I feel as though I could fly with the birds in the sky! Above the clouds and to the sun and past the Stars and have a picnic on the moon! I shall sing so that god himself may ask me to sing with his band of Angels. You are coming tonight aren't you? If you don't then you shall crush me." Angelique asked with tose sad eyes gazing at him. In all this time no matter what she asked he could never refuse her. He let out a deep sigh and replied with " Angel I wish I could but...well... I can't very well wear this can I?" Angelique's face just lit up. She pulled somthing out from behind her back and it was the most beautiful black suit with gold cufflings. " Will this do?" She said still beaming. Will stood up from his chair in Awe. "Go on. Try it on. I'll wait in here." she said handing him the suit and sitting in the plush velvet chair he just got up from. Within ten minutes Will came out in the suit. He looked even more handsome. He was also wearing a smug smile. Angelique was now the one who stood in awe. The suit fit perfectly, hugging every part of his masculine body in all the right ways. "How do I look?" He asked. Angelique replied with "So,so handsome Will. I knew it." She clapped her hands in excitement. Will walked over and embraced her firm but gentle. Then he whispered in her ear "Happy Birthday my sweet Angel." Then he kissed her very passionatly. Angelique did not pull away because she was kissing him back. But then she pulled away and said " Will, you are my bestfriend and I love you but not like you would want. I'm sorry." Will's heart at that moment shattered. " I'm so sorry Angel. I don't know what came over me. It won't happen again. But now I have to get back to my work." Angelique knew then how much she hurt him. " Will I am so-..." Will cut her off by saying " Make sure your dance card is free for a dance with me tonight okay Angel?" Faking his smile and fighting back the tears that wanted to pour. " I will always save a dance for you Will. Goodbye." She said and the she walked out the cabin.
