(The next morning)

Aesop's POV:

My alarm went off and I reached my arm over to turn it off, however the ringing stopped before I had touched it. I opened one of my eyes to see what was going on. 

"Good Morning Dear." A figure crouched down next to me, pushing my hair behind my ear . "Sleep well?"

The figure become more visible when I opened my other eye but I was too tired to completely see a clear image. "J...Joseph...?" 

"Yes Darling?" He smiled at me and rested his chin on the bed.

"Why are you in my room?" I was confused It was too early to make sense of everything.

"You fell asleep while we spoke so I brought you back here and stayed to make sure you'd be alright." Joseph was looking up at me and playing with my hair as I yawned, sleepily.

That's when I remembered all that had happened yesterday:

The beautiful garden

The picnic

The dancing

Joseph crying...

He said he loved me!

And I said it back!

"Joseph..." I looked into his eyes and he stopped playing with my hair "Did you mean what you said yesterday."

Joseph smiled at me and caressed my cheek with his hand. "Of course Dear, I love you so very much, I would never lie to you." He placed a small kiss on my forehead and then looked back down into my eyes. "Aesop why are you crying...?"

Tears trickled down my cheeks as I looked back into Josephs concerned eyes. "I love you too, so very much." Joseph placed both his hands on my cheeks and gently pressed his lips against mine. 

Butterflies filled my stomach as I melted into the kiss and I was filled with a warm sensation like I was sat on the beach in the sun. I wrapped my hands around Josephs neck, pulling him up onto the bed with me and cradling my legs around me.

"Morning Aesop, Are you awake yet?" Martha called, knocking on my door 

I pulled away from Joseph and stared at him, eyes wide. "Uh yeah I'm awake." Shit! 

"Can I come in?" Martha called, Joseph jumped up and rolled under my bed so he was hidden from her view.

"Y..Yeah that's fine." I quickly put my mask on as Martha turned the doorknob and walked into my room. 

"Morning, sleepy-head!" Martha smiled at me.

"G...good morning." I sat up and tried to sort out my messy hair.

Martha walked closer and sat on the corner of my bed, she dangled her legs down and I prayed that she wouldn't hit Joseph and figure out he was under my bed. 

"There's no need to get up and ready today, The manor has given us a day off." Martha said handing me a letter.
