Chapter 11 It's A Surprise
The whole house has been decorated in yew, ivy, holly, mistletoe and laurel the maids spent most of the day decorating the house. I explained to Mary that Henry slept in my bed and that's all. She just wanted to know that I was safe and being careful. I really do hold her very close to my heart.
We are sitting in the drawing room with Mary, Lizzy and Jane well Molly, Anna and Kate sing While Shepherds Watched. Umm, there not the best singers but I keep smiling. Once they finished, we all applaud well Molly, Anna and Kate curtsey.
"Your turn Adele" Anna says.
"I don't sing" I giggle.
"You're such a stick in the mud" Anna says, rolling her eyes.
"Keep calling me that Anna, and you're going to find yourself with a blooded nose" I snap, glaring at her.
They all turn at once and gape at me. Then it dawns on me what I just said. We the hell did that come from? I never threatened anyone before. I hear the door open but I don't look; I just stare at Anna shocked at what I've just said.
"Adele"
I turn and see Henry stood in the door way my heart flutters and my breath catches. I stand and walk over to him.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Nothing" I say, smiling up at him
"I have something for you" He says, frowning looking over at Anna.
Then he takes my hand and pulls me out the room and we start to walk down the corridor.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Your bedchambers"
"Why?" I ask, breathless trying to keep up with his long strides.
"You need a cloak we're going outside"
Everything is covered in snow from the tops of the trees to the grass on the floor. It feels very magical here because it's such an open space that goes on for miles. Henry hasn't let go of my hand since we left my bedchambers. We're stood at the front of the house as he stares down at me grinning from ear to ear.
"I have something for you" He says, excitement shining in his eyes.
"Oh" That's all I can manage, he just takes my breath away.
"Come on, it's around the back of the house" He says, pulling me down the steps.
"What is it?" I ask, excited grinning up at him.
"It's a surprise"
We get to the back of the house and there's a white stallion tied to a tree. He's the most beautiful horse I have ever seen. Henry leads me over to the horse.
"What do you think?" He asks untying the reins from the tree.
"He's beautiful" I reply shyly.
"Good! I brought him for you ... I couldn't wait till New Year to give him to you ... So I'm giving you him today" He says, grinning.
I swallow shocked "Thank you ... But I've never ridden a horse before"
"Well I'm going to teach you" He says walking behind me.
He puts his hands on my waist and lifts me. Once I'm on the horse he climbs on behind me. He takes both of my hands and places them on the reins. He tells me the right ways to pull the reins. Once I understand the horse starts to move I wonder what his name is?
"Does he have a name?" I ask, as he rests his head on my shoulder.
"No! What would you like to call him?"
"Henry?" I ask deadpan.
He growls into my neck and I start to laugh. I look up at the house and see most of the house staff looking at us.
"People are watching" I whisper.
He looks up at the house glaring and everyone starts their jobs again.
"What about ... umm ... Lucky?" I ask, changing the subject.
"Lucky ... I like it"
