Chapter 1: The party

When her father said he was holding a party, he was also gonna holding a party. Sadly he didn't really knew what the word 'small' meant in those situations. When Jayla turned around the corner, ready to go down the stairs, she maybe saw over the hundred people staring at her, before the crowd started to applaud at her arrival. She could only feel embarrassed and she was glad Sebastian was there to guide her downstairs. She was certain she would have fallen otherwise. As soon as she was downstairs, she had to pass them all, to accept their greeting and their birthday wishes. Jayla was wondering if her dad had invited the entire town? She didn't knew that he knew so many people.

"Something to drink, My Lady?" Sebastian asked when he passed by with a tableau full of glasses. The young girl quickly grabbed one.
"Yes please." She said with a big sigh. Her butler only softly grinned. She knew he just loved it to see her struggle like this, as this was something he couldn't help with. Jayla hated such crowds or being in the centre of something. She sighed deeply before she suddenly heard a soft laughter from behind her. She looked over her shoulder only to see three girls. She knew them from when she was younger, yet it had been a few years ago that she had last seen them.
"Sasha, Mary, Eveline, so nice to see you here." The girl greeted them at a friendly way before they started to chat. The subject of the talking already quickly turned to one person.
"So that is your so famous butler?" Sasha asked when all tree the girls were staring at the man in black, who was serving drinks with a smile from ear to ear.
"Famous?" Jayla replied with a soft confusion.
"Ah yes, your father has told around that he is as good as perfect." Eveline giggled.
"So, is he perfect?" She hinted, softly pushing Jayla with her elbow.
Jayla started to blush, perfectly knowing what the girl were pointing to.
"Indeed, he is a perfect butler. He does his daily tasks with ease and perfection."
Not the answer the girls were hoping to get, yet Jayla wasn't so stupid to hint other things. Like their were other thing. He was her butler, her servant, bound by her with a contract. He had to do what she said he had to do. Simple as that.
"Ahh, no more details? I am sure he can do more than that?" Mary poked.
Jayla sighed shortly rolling with her eyes. They had always been like this, looking at the boys, from the day they stepped a foot on a school. Always checking them, like they were rare things on an auction.
"He is just one hell of a butler." And with a smile on her face she turned around to walk to the other side. No more details … like it should be. She quickly sipped from her drink before she walked up to the buffet. Filled with different kind of things, like salads, for those that wanted a healthier snack, and then the real sweet stuff: cake, chocolate, pies, cupcakes, … She quickly grabbed one of the small cupcakes.
"Be careful, sweets make you fat." A voice suddenly said behind her. Jayla grunted. Please no … She turned around, her dress softly rustling around her body to look at the boy standing behind her.
'Ervin Crawford." She said with a huge big fake smile. The blond haired boy quickly grabbed a cake from one of the plates before he stuffed it into his mouth.
"Nice party, cousin." He said while swallowing everything down.
"Indeed, to bad my father invited you." Jayla gritted her teeth. "Why are you even here?"
Ervin raised his shoulder. "Because your father invited me. I first didn't wanted to come, but hey, missing out some free sweets, would be so sad."
Jayla rolled with her eyes before letting out a disappointed smile.
"You should have stayed with your first idea." she whispered to herself.
"Eighteen years, it is something." The boy dropped in between while picking a chocolate. "Feeling old already?"
"Haven't learned to keep that big mouth shut?"
Ervin huffed and could only grin. "No!" he said with an arrogant flair. He then suddenly dropped the last piece of chocolate he wanted to eat.
"Woops." he said with a fake tone. He then clipped with his fingers.
"Hey butler, it's a little bit dirty up here, come and clean up."
Out of the crowd, the black coated swallowtail of sebastian became visible, giving a soft smile to the young boy before cleaning up the mess he had made.
"He really does everything, that butler of yours." Ervin grabbed one of the cocktail classes from the table and started to sip.
"Aren't you to young to drink that. We don't want you to pee in your bed …" Jayla grinned.
"Ttss, I can do what I want."
"Ow, is that so, young Lord?" Sebastian suddenly said.
"I heard your guardian say that he had to keep an eye on you, because you placed up a nice show at the last party you attended"
His voice was sleek, sweet, yet you could feel that dangerous tone in it. And jayla could see that he had made a point.
"Ow, did my little nephew made some trouble. So sad …." Jayla took a step forward, before grabbing the cocktail out of his hand.
"I don't want trouble here, Ervin, so don't start any."
The blond boy grabbed the cocktail from jayla's hand with a quick move, spilling a little bit on the floor. She could hear Sebastian softly sigh. More to clean up.
"I don't need to obey to you."
"Indeed …" Jayla replied with a smile. "But I guess your own guardian isn't gonna be so happy when you throw a fit"
She pointed a finger over his shoulder, to an older looking guy, also dressed in black with glasses. She could swear she could hear a soft 'shit' coming from Ervin's mouth before he placed the cocktail back on the table.
"One day, sweet cousin."
"Try your best."
The boy turned around, crawling back to his guardian, to only get a few harsh words. Jayla could understand one sentence of it: "We are leaving."
Perfect!
"I suppose your gave a soft hint towards him?" Jayla said when Sebastian was quickly cleaning the floor.
"What kind of butler would I be, if I can not keep an eyes on some … unneeded guests."
Jayla couldn't leave to chuckle.

"Ahh, there you are." Jayla turned around, seeing her father walking up to her, accompanied by an older looking man. From the second their eyes met, Jayla's heart made a jump. Like a machine that was suddenly activated, a signal that went of. Sebastian had noted it so, as a softly touched her back, as a sign he wasn't far away.
"I hope you enjoy your party." Her father quickly said before turning toward the other man.
"This is Lord Darcy Hayfort." Jayla softly bowed before offering her hand.
"Darcy, this is my daughter, Jayla."
The man bowed, softly taking her hand before placing a kiss, yet just not touching her hand.
"A happy birthday." He softly said. His voice was soft, yet with that timbre that fitted his age. But it still gave Jayla the shivers and she didn't knew way. At first sight, there was nothing wrong with him.
"Darcy is a friend of mine, has some good horses in his stable."
"Ahh …" The girl said before taking a smile. "Then maybe I need to visit your stable one day. Your breeding them yourself?"
The man nodded. "Indeed, Miss. I have bred already a few racing champions. Yet I heard you are not that bad of a rider yourself."
Jayla softly smiled. "Not that good as the jockeys I place on my stallions."
A short laughter followed by the group. Sebastian remained in silence.
"You know love, you should visit him this week." her father said with a short wink. Jayla could only smile back.
"yes, yes, you should. I think I have something that will certainly interest you."
Jayla gave a soft nod with her head.
"Then i shall certainly place it on my agenda for this week. Sebastian, have you noted that?"
"Yes, My Lady." he said firmly, quickly writing it down in a small black notebook."
"Ahh, so this is that butler all the girl are talking about. I always wonder why such a young and handsome man as yourself would leave his freedom and serve a high family."
Sebastian gave a faint smile, one of those that would give you the greeps if you stared too long at it.
"When My Lady asked me to serve her, I happily accepted, for reasons that are a secret between master and servant."
Jayla rolled her eyes. Great, could he have worded in a more obvious way. Be certain that if one of those girl would have heard that, the new gossip would go around like a fire!
"I have the excuse myself." Jayla said eventually. "There are a few other guests I still need to great. It was a pleasure to meet you, Lord Hayfort. I shall give you a call when I would like to visit your estate."
"With pleasure." the man said, followed by a bow. Jayla nodded quickly before she walked further, Sebastian on her heals.
"There is something about that man .." She whispered when she knew she was out of their range. "His eyes were … standing wild."
"Maybe he was enchanted by your beauty, My Lady."
As quickly as he had said it, as quickly Jayla had gave a slap from behind on his head.
"Idiot." And she walked off, back to another stream of guests.
