The Bride In Black

Part 9

I got changed and climbed into the bed again but still the same as last night I couldn't help thinking about everything so I pushed myself up and went to the window watching the vast grounds the trees and grass moving slightly in the breeze when I heard a noise and noticed the perfume bottle that I had sat on the vanity had fallen luckily it hadn't broken but the fall was enough to send shivers up my spine "hello?" I asked, "Someone there?" Nothing replied I heard the floor creaking close to my door "someone here?" I asked trying to hide my fear but nothing, it's all in my head I should just go back to - at that moment the door knocked making me jump out of my skin "c-come in" I said even though I was full of fear the door opened quickly 

"sorry y/n didn't mean to scare you" it was Thomas smiling sweetly in a silky robe he clearly wore to bed

"It's okay, what is it?"

"I... couldn't sleep. I wanted to come and see you,"

"That's sweet but you should get some rest ready for tomorrow"

"I know, I just... I wanted to give you this a little present" he smiled revealing from behind him a hanger with a beautiful dress on it "I thought perhaps you might wear it tomorrow for me"

"You shouldn't have-"

"Well I wanted to, I think it'll look beautiful on you"

"I can't accept this it's too much-"

"Well, It's a gift. Seeing you in it tomorrow is more than my repayment"

"Are you sure?" I asked taking the beautiful dress in hand

"I'm sure darling. Hang it up and get to bed you don't want to be all sleeping for the ceremony tomorrow"

"Of course, you get some sleep too"

"I'll try" he cooes kissing my hand before he left again, I blushed hard seeing the impressive dress I hung it in the wardrobe and went back to bed a little overexcited and overwhelmed by it all.
