Chapter 8 - Happiness
Raine Blake
And you drew all of these drawings? They are so cute!
It's been a week since Yuri and I started to meet in his tree house. We spend the day together, losing ourselves in games of connect four and in reading sessions.
One day, I came to the tree house pretty exhausted. It had taken Yuri some time to get there since the cooks were running behind schedule since there was a party tonight at the manor. As he climbed up the ladder with a basket in hand, he froze when he behold a ethereal sight.
There I was, curled up in a ball, an open book in hand, sleeping.
Never before had he felt the way that he felt about me. He didn't know what to do with these feelings. He knew that the moment that it got out that he was in fact the half-brother of the man who forced her to sleep with him, I'd never want to see him again.
I clearly expressed my dislike for liars. I hated them to my core and my Father was more than a liar. He was a good-for-nothing.
Yuri sat down next to me and slowly started to caress my hair. It was silky and soft, just how he had imagined it.
The way that I listened to him, the way I gently spoke to him without judgement... it made him know that he had fallen in love.
Yuri Knightly
Raine... I never want this to end.
Yuri Knightly
I want us to stay like this forever, just the two of us.
He leaned down, brushing his lips over my forehead.
The sweet scent of roses emitted from my whole being. A seductive and beautiful scent that made him want to look at more of me.
As he reached out to undo the top button of my blouse, he quickly put his hands away.
He wasn't like his brother. He wasn't going to give into lust and hurt me.
So he sat against the wall, pinching himself everytime he had an impure thought about me.
Then, after an hour of torturing himself, I opened my eyes. When I saw him, I smiled.
Raine Blake
Sorry, did I fall asleep?
Yuri Knightly
Y-Yeah, you must have been exhausted.
I sighed and held both of my hands, trembling.
Raine Blake
I... Casper is coming back tonight and he wants me to attend the ball as his date. I don't know what to do. I don't want to go.
Yuri Knightly
Then don't go.
Raine Blake
I don't have a choice in the matter, do I?
Yuri Knightly
Then come and hide with me here.
Raine Blake
Hold on, I thought that all staff had to be present. I don't want you to get fired from your job, Yuri!
Yuri Knightly
I'll be fine. So? What do you say?
Raine Blake
You... you're mad, Yuri.
Raine Blake
But thank you for helping me realise that I need to be strong.
Yuri Knightly
Well... I can't wait to see you in a proper dress. You'll probably look so cute in it!
He then blushed and said, baffled:
Yuri Knightly
I-I mean, the dress will be beautifully made! Yes, that's-
Then, his head turned towards me and he seemed shocked. I was only slightly blushing, but I was looking away from him, huffy.
Raine Blake
Don't take back a compliment that you gave me. Idiot...
