Chapter 11
I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER TO WRITE! But uh, Hey I got a review that this needed more romance and I totally agree but I wasn't really thinking about it. I love when someone tells me their opinion I'll always try to improve the story to your liking! So tell me if this is better!
I was going to be everything I wasn't today bold, daring, and amazing I was going to ask Xerxes out on a walk to the park. Then I was going to tell him everything I didn't even know where everything began but I would make it up on the spot and that's all I had planned. I put on the one dress I brought with me the one that was auburn and slipped it on with the matching high heels. I then compiled my hair into a messy bun and grabbed something I hadn't been able to wear in a while my sliver locket. I smiled as I put in on and headed down stairs it was very early and no one was up yet. I went to see if there was any tea but Xerxes popped out of the cabinet scaring me have to death, I hadn't spoken to him ever since I confessed my feelings but I put that aside and said "Hello Xerxes did you see any tea in there?" He said "No but what a pleasure to speak to you Victoria." "T-Thanks, but today I have an errands to run and then I want to walk in the park afterwords would you care to join me?" He smirked and said "Okay shall we leave now?" "Certainly I told a maid last night to send for a carriage." I opened the door of the mansion and walked out so far everything was going to plan and I haven't did something stupid yet, I smiled then I tripped on the stairs leading up to the carriage. "Ouch," I muttered and stood up brushing myself off as Xerxes laughed "You're extremely clumsy." "I know.." I confessed looking down and blushing as I entered the carriage. "So I need to go mail a letter and then shall we go for a walk in the park afterwords?" "That sounds wonderful." he said smirking I blushed then said "I'm happy to hear that so about the other night." "Ah yes, when you said you loved me." I looked down "Yes that's the one.. Uh I said I loved you and I wasn't lying. I do ever since we were children, but when you were thrown into the abyss I couldn't do anything to stop it I feel guilty. And so I'm sorry I suppose, it's completely ridiculous to apologize now of all times but I am." He laughed "What on earth were you supposed to do? Fight off the entire abyss by yourself?! Heh heh, that's a very amusing thought." "Oh shut up I made a contract for yo- Never mind that would be funny though." "Contract for me? What absurd thing did you ask for Victoria?" I but my lip and mumbled "Are you happy?" He looked puzzled and tilted his head "My happiness?" "Yes yes, I wished for you to be happy?" "Most contractors have more self-centered wishes but thank you Victoria, that proves it." "Proves what you clown?" "Tet tet you sound like my dear but it proves you're madly in love with me." I blushed and looked up "Hey!" I blushed some more and looked down "See I was right." "Shut up, you can't control who you love..." "Anyways I have been thinking about your confession and I believe it would be an interesting topic to look into." I tried to decode that in any possible way and looked up "Do you mean what I think you mean.." I said furrowing my brow slightly trying to figure it out, does that mean he would try going out on dates with me? "To say it in a way your unintelligent mind can comprehend let's make this a date." My eyes widened and I blushed for the fiftieth time "Okay I would enjoy that.." He smirked "Of course you would, you were trying to make this a sate from the start weren't you?" I sighed he figured out my plan "Yes.." I mumbled and looked out the window then I smiled this was something I never thought could happen to me.
I hurriedly dropped off three letters at the post office one to the Duke, one to the twins and Grandparents, and one to Allan. I smiled and walked back outside to Xerxes "Where should we go now?" Xerxes answered "You said the park didn't you?" "Ah, yes but what about we get lunch first?" "Hmm that sounds fine." I nodded as he led the way, I was amusing to a restaurant and I was correct we walked into the one the Duke and I ate at the other day a waited came and seated us in a private corner of the room quickly. Once we ordered our lunch I began to talk "So Xerxes how are you?" He hummed as he stirred his tea and looked up, "Good, I suppose and also you can call be Break everyone does." "I know but it's a habit from our youth." He nodded and said "Tell me about the case you're working on." I shook my head, "No, you know I can't do that. Anyways I've already been demoted from the mission and once I am picked up by Pandora I won't be able to contact anyone I know.. I belive they are going to err, bop me off." "Tell me Victoria, if you're going to be killed I want to help you." I smiled "There's nothing I can do, I know who it is actually I know everything. I just can't say that will put you in danger or anyone else." I sipped my own tea feeling tears come to my eyes as I came to the realization that I was going to die when I cam back to Pandora and smiled. "It's fine I only have ten years tops anyways.. I'm just going to die because," I felt tears starting to go down my cheeks and I said quietly "It's Burville..." He looked puzzled "Did you just say Burville?" I nodded and bit my lip. He blinked and answered with an "Oh. Come with me."
A few hours later we were in a carriage with all my luggage heading to France. I still didn't quite knowing what was happening, Xerxes usually only did things that would positively affect himself or save himself but he wasn't always like that. "Xerxes.. I don't even know where to begin." "Just tell me everything." I began to tell him everything from the informants to the meetings with the Duke and the information I gathered myself. By the the time I finished I was out of breath and he only nodded checking his watch. "It's nearly eight at night and we still haven't eaten, my apologies." I smiled "It's I enjoy being with you-" I want to put the words back in my mouth as he smirked "I know you are but I'm actually worried about you. If Burville finds you, you're basically dead." I nodded "I know." I sighed and I bit my lip and yawned. He looked up from papers he was reading "Sleep." I frowned looking around we were sharing a seat and the other one across from us was filled up with our luggage. I leaned against the window feeling slightly foolish being an adult and going to sleep at eight. I yawned once more and drifted off into the world of my nightmares.
