I'm back everyone, after a strenuous week (I was so lazy this week!)...:D
Ok, so this is my review, and I want to thank everyone reading my work
and reviewing on it! 200+ views! Yay, I'm so excited!
Lizzy was walking in the park languidly, looking intently at plants and the multi-colored flowers. She was sketching something, and every now and then she would glance up from her sketch book and then continue sketching again.
"Sebastian...are you sure?"
Ciel winced at their lame hiding position. Just behind the sleek lamp post.
"Trust me, Master", Sebastian replied, positively self-assured.
Ironically, the blonde-haired girl had never noticed the movements of her would-be 'fiancée' and his butler.
"Oh my, does the young lady even know how to draw a circle properly?"
Ciel glared at his butler. Sebastian glared back at him.
"Pay attention, you both!"
"Paula too!" Ciel shuddered.
He asked his butler with his eyes, "Did you invite her?"
Sebastian rolled his eyes.
"You both didn't notice me? I was right here", she pointed to a tree. Since it was autumn, the tree hardly had any leaves.
Ciel look mortified and revolted. "We really are a pair of klutz, jeez...".
Sebastian looked like he wanted to make a correction to Ciel's statement, but chose not to comment.
Lizzy shifted her weight from one foot to another. She was now near the blazing Delonix regia, which boasted of its flamboyant arrangement of orange-red, flaming flowers. The broken petals floated in the wind like embers. The ambience was garnished with wisps of love.
And she was just behind her love. Ciel took a deep breath. She was so near him and yet so far away. He could smell her usual fragrance and was vaguely aware of how intoxicating it was, for him. And it was then that he saw her sketch.
She had drawn herself standing triumphantly in the park, as Ciel made his way towards her.
She had this uncanny smile, and even though she had her back to him, she knew he was coming, and that it why she had an austere smile in the image. Ciel smiled as he felt a rush of
arterial love brim to the surface.
And he blushed like he had never before.
"Young Love!" Sebastian made a dramatic expression.
"Shut up", Ciel reverberated, though now he had a hand on his mouth, and was beet red.
"I think I should take the initiative", Sebastian sighed, comically feigning despondence.
Sebastian caught Lizzy's sleeve, and pulled lightly. He had underestimated his force, which caused the young maiden to promptly turn around, slightly caught off-balance.
"You!" She stared at him fiercely. The black butler simply shrugged and smiled, but did not let go of her sleeve.
"Leave her, Sebastian. It's an order", Ciel domineered, looking even more intimidating and cold than his fiancée. Lizzy looked reconcile.
"My lady, we have to go now", Paula cheerily added.
"Why did you come?" Elizabeth complained and folded her arms across her chest. She now looked annoyed and cold. Off late, it had been an enormous task for Paula to bond with her former mistress, who had been open, friendly and bright. Now, she was recluse, but somehow had not lost her charisma and appealing, vivacious personality.
"Actually, today a meeting has been arranged. I am afraid that the young lady will have to return home to meet her parents within an hour. I am so sorry that I informed you this now, but I was bereft of time."
Lizzy had no reaction whatsoever. She just stared at Paula, wondering what to say.
Sebastian looked unusually shocked. Ciel was already rehearsing dialogues which would come in handy. "It will be a disaster, Master. We will have to train her well."
Ciel closed his fist, becoming high-spirited.
"You are right. We will have to groom her properly."
"Can you stop talking about me as if I aren't here?" Elizabeth looked annoyed. She had one eye closed as she ran her fingers through her hair which appeared honey-colored in the sunlight.
"Yet...somehow..."
Lizzy couldn't believe it. She was back again at Ciel's house. And to think that she had contemplated that she wouldn't see his face again after that hospital incident.
"Fine! Get done with it!" Elizabeth sat on the bed, upright, with a frown.
Ciel was sitting on a recliner, while Sebastian was simply standing near Lizzy.
"okayyy...what would I do as soon as I saw...err...my family members?"
"You would hug your brother and say something like 'I'm back, Onee-chan!' and be all kyaaa and stuff. Typical girly stuff", Ciel clued-up.
"Would you refrain from commenting on me?"
Sebastian chuckled.
"You can hug Master for practice..."
"No thanks", she declined, her eyes displeased.
"And what would I tell my mother?"
"Sorrrrry", Ciel squealed in a high-pitched rendition.
"Sorry...", she tried to copy Ciel. She failed miserably.
"Hey, wait! Why should I say sorry, anyway!"
"Because you would hug both your brother and Master in public!" Sebastian inferred.
"I am so out of here".
Within ten seconds, Lizzy was outside on the street, smiling uncontrollably, humming a tune which she had heard Ciel hum once.
I enjoyed writing this chapter! Please review! Otherwise this cat below will be unhappy ;(
