Hey guys! I forgot to mention in chapter one that in my story, Ciel is 15 and Elizabeth is 16. Just wanted to make sure you know. Well, anyway... I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! I worked /very/ hard on it. :3 Anyway... ENJOY! :D
"Look Ciel! We're here!" Lizzie said excitedly and she tried to wake Ciel up. Ciel looked up from his slumber, for he had fallen asleep on the way here. He looked out his window and saw a giant-looking gray house. It wasn't your average house though, this one was huge. It looked as if it had jumped right out of a teen horror movie. The entrance started at the foot of the stairs, leading up to five or six huge columns lining the front of the house. Finally reaching the door it had church-like, stained glass windows depicting a butterfly and a spider on either side. The doors we're also quite large, for it opened like any normal church door would, with it's triangular shape.
Their chauffeur walked around to their side of the carrige to let them out. Ciel stepped out first, holding out his hand to Elizabeth so she wouldn't fall. For it was easy because it was so damp out here. Long patches of dark green grass covered the whole area surrounding the house. The ground was slick with morning dew.
Once they we're both out Ciel informed the chauffeur they wouldn't be needing him any longer.
"Okay, but I'll be back around eight-o-clock to pick the both of you up. I'll call ten minutes before hand, there are 3 telephones inside, I should be able to reach you". The chauffeur said before taking off.
Ciel looked at Elizabeth, who stood in awe looking at the grand house before them. And we get to have this whole place to ourselves? She thought. "Well then Lizzie, since you seem to know more about this place than me, why don't you show me around?" Ciel said as Lizzie's face lit up.
"Okay Ciel, I just know you'll love it!" Lizzie squealed as she grabbed both of Ciel's hands and made him face her. Ciel wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her in closer. The both of them chest-to-chest now. Ciel could see the very obvious blush on Lizzie's face as he leaned in closer. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and nuzzled her face into his neck, taking in the sweet smell of the one she loved. Her fiance. Her Ciel.
They parted as Ciel said: "Alright then Lizzie, show me around! We've got a house to see!" He said with a smile. Lizzie jumped for joy as she grabbed Ciel and pulled him towards the front door. Maybe this won't be that awful after all. Ciel thought to himself as they entered the house.
From the outside, the house looked huge already. But that was nothing compared to the inside. Ciel could've sworn this was bigger than his manor back in London. It had a long, spiraling staircase that lead upstairs. The walls and floors were a deep purple and black color scheme. The rugs were a blood red color and the walls were lined with numerous paintings; probably from long before they were born. The whole house smelled of dusty old books and furniture polish. Ciel looked around amazed. The house was so beautiful.
"Okay, I guess we'll start with the first floor". Lizzie said as she motioned around them. Pulling Ciel over into another room she announced: "And this is the kitchen. Where I can make you breakfast, and make you dinner, and desert!" Lizzie said before dragging him to another room.
This room was quite large. The colors that lined the room we're red and gold. The rugs looked like pure white snow. "And this is the bathroom". Lizzie said. This is quite large for a bathroom. Ciel thought to himself as he looked around. He glanced upon an enormous bathtub in the very middle of the room. Why on earth would someone need such a big bathtub? He thought. But then he remembered they were in a house made for nobles on their honeymoon and understood everything. He blushed and shooed the thought away from his mind.
"You want to see the upstairs?" Lizzie asked. Ciel replied: "Well of course I do, that's were the bed is!" Not realizing what he had said or what it sounded like he meant until he saw Elizabeth's whole face turn pink. He corrected himself: "So I can take a nap, haha". He said akwardly and motioned towards the stairs.
Once up the stairs Ciel and Lizzie explored almost every door down the hallway until they found the bedroom. "Here's the bedroom you were so excited to see". Elizabeth said with a giggle. Ciel walked towards the bed and threw himself on it. Closing his eyes as he relaxed. Lizzie walked over to him and brushed the hair out of his eyes, tracing a line from his forhead to his jaw. Taking in his beautiful features. Sometimes I wonder how I had became so lucky to have such a handsome husband. She thought. Before she knew what was happening Ciel had sat up and pulled her onto his lap. Elizabeth blushed madly when she noticed she was straddling him. Ciel noticed this and laughed as he wrapped his arms around her waist once more so she wouldn't fall off of him.
"I love the house Lizzie". He said. Lizzie hugged him tightly for what seemed like forever before she finally released him and looked into his eyes. Well, his uncovered eye. She loved the gorgeous deep blue they were. She often found herself getting lost in that beautiful blue.
"I'm so happy you like it Ciel". She said as she looked at him, then at his lips, then turned away, blushing again. What's the matter with me? She thought. She had never felt this way towards Ciel before. Of course she had always loved him, but right now, she felt like something was missing. Like she wanted more of him.
Ciel noticed her blush when she turned away and he got the hint of what she wanted. But he himself felt to shy to do anything about it. Instead he reached up and took her face in his hands as he placed a kiss on her cheek. He smiled as Lizzie did also. "I want you to know that I'm happy that it is you who is my wife Lizzie". Ciel said. Elizabeth smiled widely at this.
Ciel glanced at the clock on the wall. It read seven forty-five. Their chauffeur would be calling and coming to pick them up soon. With this he moved to set Lizzie beside him and got up. As he walked over to the phone in the corner of the room it started to ring. Knew it. He thought as he picked up the receiver. "Hello?" He asked into the phone.
"Hello? Ciel Phantomhive? It's your chauffeur. I'm calling to inform you there is a storm coming through this evening making it impossible try and drive a carrige. I'm calling to tell you that you will have to stay at the house overnight. By yourselves". Ciel shuddered. So they were stuck here. Alone. Not that Ciel was afraid or anything. He had just never really been alone with Lizzie this late before. And especially not so far outside of London and away from civilization. There we're no neighbors out here. They we're completely and totally alone. "Alright". Ciel said. Confirming he'd heard all the chauffeur had to say.
"Another thing". Their chauffeur said through the phone. "Since you two will be staying there over night, I will inform you that there are some night clothes in the dresser of the master bedroom".
"Okay, thank you". Ciel said before hanging up. That was all he needed to know. He would call back first thing tomorrow morning to see if they could be picked up.
"Who was it Ciel?" Ciel turned around to see Elizabeth behind him. "It was the chaufffeur. He said there is a storm coming in this evening and he will not be able to pick us up until tomorrow". He answered his finace.
"What are we supposed to do then?" Lizzie asked, cofused.
"It looks as if we'll be staying here for the night". Ciel said.
Well I hope you guys like chapter two! Chapter three will be very exciting I promise! Will Ciel and Lizzie finally get to share that kiss they both want so badly? Who knows. I guess we'll find out in the next chapter! :P ~ AloisFancyTrancy
