Demons, Reapers, Angels Oh My!

Chapter 15

The past two days have been very, and I mean very hectic. With trying to set up the ballroom and keeping Sebastian busy as much as possible so he didn't know what we were planning. From Baldroy burning the kitchen a few times a day, to Mey-rin breaking something as usual, to Finny doing something drastic either in the greenhouse or out in the yard, and of course my brother making ridiculous demands. It kept Sebastian busy, which we needed. So thank you to those three and my brother.

I felt bad with how irritated he got with everyone and having to either clean up after or serve them. But it'll be worth it. The past few days Sebastian has been trying to pry and get answers from me. Which in return I'd respond with, the simple "I have no idea what you are talking about." Or "Everyone seems fine to me." Which he'd grow irritated by this. Which in return I'd give him a hug and kiss his cheek.

Everything was coming along perfectly the ballroom was decorated, food was prepared, music arrangements were set, we were good to go. All we had to do was gather everyone and get ready for the surprise.

The hardest task was keeping the kitten hidden. She was quite mischievous and I was worried Sebastian would find out about her before the party.

It was especially hard when he would come in my room at night for our usual routine of him helping me get ready for bed and spending the night with me.

The night before the party was especially difficult because the kitten, who was extremely quiet which I was grateful for, kept trying to escape its little bungalow I had made for her. It was in a area Sebastian would not notice in my closet.

Well as he was helping me get ready for bed I glanced over at the closet and noticed the little mischievous feline making her great escape. Sebastian was knelt in front of me taking my shoes off, he noticed I was looking at the closet and started to turn his head to look at what had me distracted, that's when I blurted out, "Ciel knows about us."

He looked back into my eyes with concern, "What?"

"Ciel knows about us." I repeated.

"And he's okay with it?" He questioned.

I nodded, "Yes he supports us. We don't have to hide anymore."

Before he could respond further, I abruptly stood up, wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled. As I caressed his cheek, moving my hand up to run it through his soft hair. Staring into his beautiful red eyes, "I love you Sebastian."

"I love you too, Alice." He leans in to kiss me but it suddenly stopped.

Meow.

Shit.

Well I guess that surprise will happen sooner than I thought...

"What was that?"

I stood up from the bed, walked over to the closet. I opened the door and leaned down to the little hand made bungalow. Once the kitten was securely in my arms, purring immediately from the contact of my hand caressing her soft fur, my back was still facing Sebastian, "I was trying to keep her hidden until tomorrow... But since she was trying to make her grand entrance tonight, I might as well give her to you early."

I turned to face Sebastian. His eyes lit up like a child on Christmas morning. He immediately stood and walked over to me to take the kitten. He started playing with her paws and caressing her soft fur. "But what about the young master?"

"It took a lot of convincing him to let me get her. I told him we would make sure she is no where near him and we will make sure that we keep the cat hair off of us. I know he's allergic but he understands why I wanted to do this for you."

He smiled with his eyes closed, "Alice... I don't know what to say... thank you so much."

I took the kitten from him and set her down by her toy mouse which she instantly started pouncing on. I walked over to Sebastian so I was a few inches away from him. I stood on my tip toes, wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him gently. I pulled away, "I love you Sebastian and thank you for everything you do for both me and Ciel."

He leant down and kissed me softly. Picking me up off my feet and carried me over to the bed. He gently laid me on the bed. Me on my back and Sebastian hovering above me. I stared into his eyes innocently. As if he knew what I was thinking he chuckled and laid right next to me pulling me into his side. I nuzzled my face into his chest smiling to myself. I soon started to drift off to sleep.

"I love you, Alice."
