Chapter One: Important Plans

Chapter one: Important Plans

London, England, 1855-ish (modern day mix)

Kylie stared out the rain streaked window, lost in thought. She sat on the rocker. Her clothes dirty from working all day. A duster rested in one palm and in the other she held her head up. She sat in the study room, where no one would find her.

 A long sigh escaped her. She was tired but couldn't make her feet move. “I need to go to bed.” She whispered to herself as her eyelids started drooping. The duster slipped out of her hand and made a loud echoing sound in the empty room. Her eyes flew open. As she bent over to pick it up the door to the study swung open.

Kylie rose to her feet quickly and hid the duster. She brushed her dress and stood up straight. Two men came in. They seemed to be arguing about something. Kylie recognized one voice.

“... want it this way. Nothing is properly put together. This is an important part of my time.” He was saying to the other. “I don't believe you understand how much this means to me and the rest of-.” He stopped short at the sight of Kylie.

She bowed her head respectively and muttered. “Master Tomlinson.”

He returned the bow. “Hello there. Now would you mind giving me and Zayn some privacy, please?” His blue eyes twinkled and Kylie blushed under his gaze.

“Of course.” She curtsied and walked to the door

“And,” Master Tomlinson stopped her. She turned around to face him. He smiled. “Call me Louis.”

She nodded.

Once out in the hall Kylie released the breath she didn't realize she’d been holding. Master Tomlinson always made her feel flustered and out of breath. His looks were just...so perfect.

She walked quickly down the brightly lit corridors, along the carpeted floor to her quarters. She shared them with another maidservant, Kylie. They were very well treated, as Master Tomlinson specifically asked. He said they were to be treated like any other member of the castle. Kylie liked him for that.

When she opened the door to her room, she saw Carly was sitting up on her bed, reading. She had lit a candle on the nightstand. Kylie shut the door behind her.

“What are you reading?” She asked, curious. She walked over and sat down next to Carly. She leaned over to read the title, but there wasn't one.

Carly smiled at her. “I don't know the name but it’s a great book.”

“Well that’s good” Kylie said, distracted. Carly gave her a knowing look. Kylie blushed.

“Has someone recently been in the presence of Master Tomlinson?” Carly asked, giggling. Kylie gave her a slight push and she started laughing more.

Kylie calmed herself and said. “Yes, I have. He’s dreamy, you know? And told me to call him,” She paused for effect. “Louis.”

“By his first name?” Carly asked, surprised. Kylie nodded, beaming.

She felt a bit special, but realized he probably wanted everyone to call him that. She remembered him always saying how he hated being called ‘Master’ even though he was the master of the castle. Kylie lay back on the bed and dozed off.

Louis stared at the door after Kylie had left. She was a very beautifulyoung lady and he couldn't help but notice, again.

“Hello?” Zayn shook his head in front of Louis’s face. “Payattention. You were saying?”

Louis turned his head to face Zayn. “Ah, right. Anyway we need all five of us here and all other important figures that should be included.” He started pacing the room. “This ball should be exceptionally brilliant. Well thought of and a lot of fun for others. Shouldn’t be too hard now right?”
