Hey guys! I apologize for taking so long to update. I have had writers block for this chapter because I don't really know what to do do with this story anymore. I had an idea but then I decided that it sucked well maybe I should have let you guys decide that. But anyways I don't want it to be so easy for Ciele to pick who she wants, so I am trying to make Edward and Sebastian compatible. (If that is possible in any way.) Ciele has to like something from both sides in order for there to be a real conflict.

Also, right when I was about to save everything and then update, something went wrong so I had to wait. I was so angry. I thank everyone for reading, please review. Anything would be fine. I just want to know what you think.

Ciele peared into his cleaer green eyes. "Edward...?" she couldn't think of what to say to him. He's gonna kiss me? She thought. Her heart begin to pound in her chest. She felt hoi, like she was running a fever. What if someone- Before she could tfinish her thought he leaned in, earning a soft gasp from Ciele. Edward pressed his lips on her forehead, and she sighed in relief. Her heart rate returned to normal, and her cheeks lost their pink tint.

Edward pulled away and smrked. "Why do you sound so relieved? You don't want me to kiss you?" Ciele didn't respond right away. Honestly she didn't want him to, well not yet anyway. "Uh..."

He chuckld. "Don't worry, I'm saving our first kiss for the perfect moment." With two fingers, he lifted Ciele's chin. "Be sure to wear higher heels next time or something. It'll make it easier for the both of us."

"Well. I apologize if my height offends you. Maybe you should shrink like six inches." Ciele grinned.

Edward smiled and embraced her briefly. "I would do anything for you if I could." Ciele blushd, and turned her body away from him after being released. This was all a little too much for her. She still felt hot, even more now. It wasn't entirely Edward's fault. They had been standing in the sun for quite some time. Sweating is not cool, she told herself. She turned her head to him and said, "Let's move to the shade. It's way too hot over here in the sun."

"Are you sure it isn't me" Edward joked. She didn't answer, but turned her head and started walking towards shade. "Hey wait up", Edward caught up with her and slid one of his arms onto Ciele's back and slid the other to the back of her knee.

"What are you...?"

Edward picked her off of the ground and began carrying her to the shaded area of the sideyard. "I can't carry my fiance for no reason at all?

"No actually you can't.." Ciele said blushing. "Put me down."

"No way, not untill we've reach the shade." He said walking slowly.

"Hurry it up thenp. At this rate it'll be sundown befre we get there. And we won't need the shade anymore."

Meanwhile, from insife the house, Finny, Mey Rin, and Bard, had all been watching them from the window. After Sebastian brought Edward his water, they all started spying on them, since they didn't have anything to do. Well they did but Sebastian decided that he should do everything himself beucase of the unexpected company. They would've probably ended up embarrassing Ciele deeply somehow, and he wouldn't aloow that.

"This is so exciting!" Mey Rin squealed.

"I know, at this rate she'll be married soon!" Finny said.

"Edward must really know what he's doing. When was the last time you saw the Mistress smile like that?" Bard said.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Ahhh!" They all screamed and turned away from the window. "Nothing sir!"

It was just Elizabeth . She laughed. "It's only me you guys. What are you looking at?" Elizabeth looked out the window and saw Edward and Ciele really close to each other. "Oh my gosh! Did they just a kiss or something?"

The three so called servants turned back to the window, complaining and groaning about missing something that didn't happen.

"Why didn't you guys call me over?"

"You were helping Sebastian in the kitchen, we didn't want to disturb you." Finny said.

"Yeah, and we didn't want Sebastian to find out." Bard said.

"Find out what exatly?" Sebastian asked, pushing a cart of food into the room.

"Uh...nothing!" Bard said.

"Yeah nothing at all." Mey Rin and Finny said.

They all got up and ran off in different directions. Elizabeth held hwr arms up in an atempt to block his view of the Ciele and Edward. "They're just goofing around." Elizabeth said quickly. "I can bring that out for them if you want. You're always the one doing all the work around here."

"There's no need for that Lady, I'll be fine."

"Oh I instist!" She said grabbing the cart from him.

"Alright...I suppose I'll just go get the drinks then."Sebastian said, turning towards the kitchen. But at the corner of his eye, he saw Ciele and Edward embracing each other. They must of been spying on them. How rude. Sebastian thought, making his way to the kitchen. Sebastian went into the refrigerator and took out the pitcher of fresh lemonade.

Outside, Edward finally made his way to the shade and put Ciele down on the grass. He stretched his back and then sat down.

"What, am I too heavy for you?"

"Not at all."

"So you just coencidentally have a backache?"

"My back doesn't hurt." Edward said lying down on his back, smiling.

They stated up at the sky, aimlessly. It was so blue, with puffy cumulus clouds situated about it. The view brought back memories. It hadn't been long ago when Edward, Ciele, and Elizabeth were lying down in the grass just like this, staring up at the clouds and identifying what they looked like. It I had been the first time that Ciele realized that Edward was an ordinary kid, like herself. After that day, she no longer viewed him as that boy she would have to marry.

"Look at that cloud over there." Edward pointed to a puffy cloud that hung over the mansion. "It looks like one of your Fantom toys." He said smiling.

Ciele looked at it and chuckled a little. "Yeah, you're right." For second she had forgotten she didn't just have a clothing line. It had been a while since she had to deal with any business pertaining to the toys. She raised an arm to point out a cloud too, but suddenly her stomach grumbled loudly, causing her face to flush. "Where's Sebastian with that food already?" She complained softly.

Soon after, the sound of a clattering cart was heeard, and a shadow of a figure in a dress was seen on the ground approaching them. Edward and Ciele both sat up and saw Elizabeth coming up to them with the cart full of food, plates, cups, and silverwear.

"Hey you guys! I decided to bring the food out for you. Sebastian's getting the drinks." She sopped pushing the cart and picked up a plad blanket that was laying on top. "I thought it would be nice if you guys had a picnic in the shade, It is really hot where the tables are."

"Thanks, that sounds like a nice idea." Ciele said. "Would you like some help setting everything up?"

"Oh no, no I've got it."

"You're not our waitress or anything, sister. Let us help you." Edward said.

"Fine, fine. I was just trying to be nice."

Soon everything was all set up. Pasta, Bread, and salad were all in the center, while the plates, cups, and silverwear were seated infront of Ciele and Edward. After Elizabeth nade plates, Sebastian finally showed up with the piture of lemonade and and a bowl of ice cubes.

"Nice of you to finally join us." Ciele said.

"Sorry for the delay, I had to add some more sugar to the lemonade." He said putting down the bowl of ice. He poured them a glass and then layed the pitcher down. He stood up straight and then looked to Elizabeth. "You're not going to join them, Lady Elizabeth?"

"Oh no, I was just going to return inside." She said getting to her feet.

"You can stay if you want." Ciele said with a fork full of pasta in her mouth.

"Mmmm hmmm. You're the one who wanted to wait for the food in the first place. And don't talk with you're mouth full." Edward said poking Ciele in the ribs.

"You want me to eat with you, really?" She said sitting down on the grass.

Both Edward and Ciele nodded. She smiled from ear to ear and made herself a plate. Sebastian poured Elizabeth a glass of lemonade and then excused himself.

"This is really good." Elizabeth said stuffing her face.

"Speaking of a full mouth." Ciele said picking up her glass of lemonade.

After they ate they brought the empty dishes, cups, and bowls into the kitchen. Elizabeth took the blanket inside as well. The pasta had been really delicious, as was the salad, and the bread. Everything was perfect. Ciele didn't expect any less from Sebastian. It was now time for them to go downtown for their date. For some reason, Ciele didn't really feel anxious or nervous about it. Perhaps it was that she had already spent alone time with Edward. Whatever it was, Ciele was glad she could just hang out with her fiance without feeling uncomfortable, nervous, or embarrassed. Well, two out of three wasn't too bad. Edward always found a way of embarrassing her.

After Ciele got a jacket and a pocket book, she returned to the living room but nobody was there. she called out for Edward and Elizabeth but no one answered. Where are you guys? She wondered. Faint sounds could be heard from outside, so she pulled open the side door, only to be frightened by Sebastian once again.

Ciele gasped and jumped slightly, before she placed her hands on hips angriliy. "Wht must you always scare me like that?!" She yelled.

"My appologies." He said, a smirk spreading on his lips.

"Where's Edward, and everyone else for that matter?"

"They're by the pool." Sebastian stepped inside and let the door close behind him.

Ciele made a face. The pool? She thought. She couldn't even remember when she bought it, to be honest. Why would she anyway? She doesn't even swim, or know how to for that matter. There must have been a reason why she got it installed.

"You look purplexed, Lady. You don't remember the pool? It was a lavish purchase on your part."

"Are you sure it was my idea? Why would I buy a pool? I can't even..."

"Yes, you can't swim at all." Ciele frowned and crossed her arms. "You said, and I qoute, 'I don't want those three fools going crazy because of the heat this summer. A pool should suffice', Remember that?" Sebastian said.

"Vaguely..." She said, trying to get around Sebastian and reaching for the knob. He stepped in her way and leaned against the door. "What are you doing? Get out of my way Sebastian!"

"Don't get in the pool." Sebastian said in a serious tone.

"What?"

Sebastian explained that Edward and Elizabeth wanted to get in the pool, and they wanted her to join them. Ciele didn't want to get in the pool honestly, but it was pretty hot. she didn't want to be rude towards her guests,t so joining them would be the best choice. "I can't abandon them, that'd be rude. Besides if anything happens I have you, don't I?"

He sighed, and got off the door. He pulled the door open and held it for Ciele as she left the house. "For your safety, I'll have to join you three in the pool."

She wanted to scream no, but refrained herself. "Fine", she mumbled. She paused for a moment. "Oh, and Sebastian?"

"Yes?"

"I'm the one who gives orders around here. Understand?"

He placed a hand over his heart and bowed his head, smirking. "Yes, Mistress."

After that, there was a lot of darkness, a heavy, cold , and lonely darkness that wouldn't fade. It wouldn't lift nor waiver. it just weighed down everything, like a thick, sense fog.

Please review, and continue to read. All I can say is it's about to get serious and crazy.
