My General: A Charles Lee x (Y/N) Story (On Hiatus)

Chapter 2

(Y/N)s POV

"Shit, I am so sorry! Are you okay?" The women pusher says so me, while holding his hand out.

I slowly nod as I grab his hand. "Yeah... I'm fine..." I mumble as I look up at him. He smiles down at me before pulling me up. "Thanks." I mutter as I brush myself off.

He scratches the back of his head, a bit embarrassed.  "No problem." He replies. I look over at him and notice he's wearing a uniform. "You're a soldier, right?" I ask, gesturing at his blue coat. He shakes his head. "Actuality, I'm a general." He tells me proudly.

'Cocky bastard.'

"My name's Charles, the way." he states, holding his hand out for mine. "Charles Lee." Now that I look at him more closely, he's kinda cute. Not like I'd ever admit it of course. The last thing this man needs is an ego boost. "(Y/N)." I tell him, purposely skipping my last name. I give him my hand. "A beautiful name for a beautiful woman." He brings my hand to his lips and places a gentle kiss on the top of my hand. I feel my cheeks heat up.

'This man...'

But I shake it off and put on my best poker face.

"You're too kind. It's a pleasure to meet you 'General' Lee." I say as I cirtsy. I hear him chuckle. "Please, call me Charles." He says, smirking.

Just then, the band started playing a slow song. I look around to see couples get together to dance. Even Peggy is dancing with Mr.'Curly Hair.' As the song progresses, Charles grabs my hand. My heart begins beating faster.

'Odd'

"Care to dance?" he asks sweetly. What do I have to lose? "Sure." I say, my voice shaking a bit. He pulls me to the dance floor and we begin swaying to the music, and somehow, I find myself pressed against his chest.

I look up at him to see that he's looking down at me with such a loving expression that makes butterflies fly in my stomach. 'Is this really happening?' I think to myself.

We both lean forward, our foreheads touching. I'm not even sure why we're doing this, or why this feels so right. We're only inches apart, and I can feel his warm breath fanning across my lips. His eyes are closed, and mine are wide open. He doesn't move, nor does he speak.

'Is he going to-'

Before I can finish my thought, the song ends. His eyes open and we back away from each other. He clears his throat. "Well, Miss (Y/N). It was nice meeting you." He says politely. "Likewise, 'General.'" I tease. He chuckles a bit. "I hope you'll let me write to you, I wouldnt want to forget you. Not like I could forget such a pretty face." he says flirtily. My face feels hot again... Damnit.

'Alright, two can play it this game.'

"I'd like that. You can send any letter you'd like to the Schuyler Estate." I say with a smirk. His eyes widen at my words, but before he can speak, I walk away to go find at least one of my sisters.

I laugh to myself a bit at the memory of his gobsmacked reaction.
