The next morning, Sebastian woke me up early to say goodbye. "W-what are you talking about?" I was half asleep as I was taking in the intell. I gripped onto his sleeves tightly, not wanting him to leave. I can't do anything without him…

"I'll come back, Elena. The Young Master and I have to go undercover to solve things for the Queen." He cupped my face gently. I felt mad that he had to leave announced. "It's okay. You have the servants here. If you need anything, tell them. I'll be back in a few days. I promise." He kissed my forehead.

"Can't I go? I want to go-" I was cut off by Sebastian.

"You can't go. I don't want to risk anything that'll hurt you. It's a circus, my dear. That place is risky." He stroked my head, leaving me to be lonely and quiet.

"I see. Then I'll wait for your return." I jumped in for a hug.

"I'll be back." Then that was it… He left.

I was walking around the Manor with Meyrin tagging around because Sebastian told her to watch and be near me at all times. Meyrin was my only company and it was just us girls. "Meyrin, I want to go to town. I want to see the people and their items that'll sell."

"Whatever you'd like to go, I'll follow, Lady-"

I corrected her, "Just Elena, no 'lady'. I don't like it when it's too formal."

"Okay, Elena."

Meyrin was by my side as I looked through the stores. "Oooo Meyrin! Look at that dessert!" I pointed from the glass window.

"Indeed it is." Her mouth was dripping saliva.

"Meyrin," I giggled out her name. "You're drooling badly by staring at the delicious food." Then when we both stared back at the dessert, it was gone. Our eyes dropped to the floor.

"It's gone, Elena. It's gone."

"I know. Let's go somewhere else." I ushered her until a voice talked to us.

"I saw you beautiful ladies looking at this dessert that I bought it for you." A beautiful man was cast right in front of me, handing over the dessert. We both were in awe as we both knew he was beautiful. Every women that passed by him were flocking him.

I instantly turned red. "T-thank you." I took the dessert, but he didn't let go of it. He still held onto it.

"But before I give it to you, you have to have tea with me. Only you, the one in yellow" He stared at me with his steel grey eyes, only wanting to hear the right answer coming out my mouth.

I didn't know what to say. I felt frozen.

"YES SHE WOULD LIKE TO!" Meyrin blurted it out completely and I just stared at her.

"Here's my estate." He gave me the paper. "I'll be off. I hope to see you there." He left me with the dessert and address.

I turned to stare at Meyrin in disbelief. "I….can't do it. I don't want to go because I'm with Sebastian." She pulled me over to sit somewhere.

"I had to say it for you because if you hadn't, something bad might've happened. I could feel it in my stomach. I did it to protect you and your sake. I'll be out patrolling when you're there." Meyrin reassured me with her gentle and well spoken words. "I'm sorry that I'm not Sebastian who can proclaim that I'm yours." She rubbed my shoulders.

"L-let's go home. I don't want to be in town no more. I'm getting the creeps."

What I didn't know was that the steel grey eyes were watching me from afar as I made my moves.

I made it back home with ease and comfort by Meyrin and the other servants. "Elena, thank you for this delicious dessert that you brought to us." Finny smiled like a child, gobbling up in one go.

"Y-yes." I hesitated to say that. "It wasn't really me… Someone else brought it for us." My bitter expression was giving it out to the servants.

"What's wrong?" Finny asked, really concerned about my wellbeing.

"It's just that this man asked for me to have tea with him at his estate, and I didn't want to but Meyrin said yes for me because she had a bad feeling if I rejected his offer."

RING RING

The phone was ringing. "I'll go get it." Baldo to get the ringing phone right after I talked about that man.

"Who do you think it is? That man?" Meyrin looked at us, forgetting that she's scaring me.

"Don't even say that Meyrin! You're scaring the hell out from me." I told her as my skin was jumping off from my bones.

"Elena," Baldo came to the room and looked straight at me, making my heart race fast. "It's a man named Lance Greyston. He claimed that he met you and Meyrin earlier, and wanted to know if you were coming. If not, he'll rescheduled-"

"Wait!" Before Baldo could finish his sentence, I came running for the phone. "I'll do it." I took the phone and placed it to my ears.

"Hello?" A deep, husky voice called out on the other line.

"Hi, it's the girl who wore yellow…." I nervously said, gripped onto the cord that connected to the machine. "H-how do you know where I live?" That was my first question because I didn't say anything about my whereabouts.

"Don't be scared, Miss. Your maid was wearing the one and only Phantomhive's Manor symbol on her outfit. I am a nobleman, Lance Greyston." He introduced himself.

"Well, I'm not a noble woman. I'm only living here because I'm engaged to the head butler of the manor. I'm sorry, I can't accept your offer, Greyston. My maid was being too polite to you. Goodbye." I slammed the phone back in place as I stormed back to where the servants were in.

"What happened?!" They all asked.

"I asked him how he knew our location and I won't attend because I'm an engaged woman who's not a noblewoman that shouldn't talk to a nobleman since I'm engaged you know. That's how I ended the call." I straightened my dress out. "I'm retiring to my quarters." I headed out to sleep. I didn't want to think of this no more. I'm just overthinking since Sebastian isn't by my side and I feel weak. I needed to be hardheaded.

"Elena, are you alright?" Meyrin helped me undress as she talked to me.

"Yeah, just overthinking things that I shouldn't be doing. But I'll be fine after tomorrow. A good night's rest is the best medicine for any situation." The collar of the night dress was pulled down to fit my head and I pulled out my hair from my back.

"Yes, yes it is." She folded my clothes neatly next to my bed.

"You know you didn't have to help me undress. I can already do it myself." I told her, settling myself in bed, pulling the blanket over me.

"I know but I wanted to. I'm going to protect and watch over you, remember?" I nodded my head. "Goodnight." She walked out of my room and the only light was seen was the moonlight shining through my room.

I ran a hand around my stomach as I knew the bump grew bigger. It didn't feel flat no more, it felt like a cherry sized baby inside that's growing. "My beautiful baby is growing…" I mumbled, closing my eyes to sleep.

The next morning later, I wasn't ready to hear what Meyrin said to me when I first woke up. "ELENA! LANCE GREYSTON IS HERE TO SEE YOU!"
