After an eventful day last night, the young lady was sound asleep, until a knock on her door had woken her up. Y/n had gotten up from her cozy bed to answer the door. "Yes? Hello?", as she looked over the door, Michael was there. He smiled, "Good morning Y/n, I didn't want to wake you up earlier, everyone already had breakfast so I decided to bring it for you!". He laughed a bit as he held a tray of food, as the young lady blushed, "My, good morning Michael, I do appreciate it so much, although I haven't made my bed yet and I'm still in my nightgown". Michael responded, "Oh don't worry! It's alright! Please have some breakfast dear", he entered the room as Y/n went back to bed. He placed the tray on her bed, and the young lady was surprised. Michael was thoughtful, he didn't want to disturb the young ladies'rest and rather brought breakfast to her. She thanked Michael once more, and started eating while Michael talked to her about the ball last night.
Michael's POV
I'm glad I bought breakfast for her, she looks so happy. Y/n even looks cute with her nightgown and her hair all messy, I enjoy seeing her comfortable. I made sure to put a bit of everything for her to eat, as I was done placing the tray over her lap I pulled a chair next to her bed to keep her company. "Yesterday was a great day Y/n", she looked at me, "Oh of course it was a great day! I've got to see you all fancy and I've got the chance to meet your family". I really couldn't keep my eyes off of her yesterday, she was very kind and humble to my family. Being able to see her smile makes me the happiest man alive. I responded, "My, but you looked like an angel yesterday dear, everyday you make my heart flutter". Damn it Michael, control yourself. She blushed as she laughed a bit, "I appreciate the compliments Michael, I didn't think I'd make you fall for me like that".
Normal POV
Michael smiled, " Well what can I say, since the first day we met I knew you caught my attention,I really was curious about you and wanted to get to know you well ". Y/n smiled," You too sparked my interest Michael, I was even more curious about you". The couple laughed, as the young lady was finished having her breakfast, Michael had taken the tray off of her lap. She said, "That was a great breakfast I'm stuffed!", Michael giggled, "Well I'm not done yet Y/n". Y/n was confused as he pulled up a huge emerald green gift box. She was worried, she didn't get him a gift of any sort. "Oh Michael, I should have given you a gift I didn't know-!", He cut her off, "Please don't worry my love, this is something for you, I wanted to give you this gift yesterday but didn't get the chance". Michael placed the gift on her bed, "Go on and open it!",he cheered. The young lady got up from her bed, stood next to Michael as she began unraveling the gift. Within the box, was a beautiful emerald green dress, with light green veil sleeves and detailing. She gasped, as she gave Michael a hug, "Oh my goodness! It's so beautiful! Michael you didn't have to-". Michael hugged the young lady back as he gave her a kiss on her cheek,"This is my gift to you for our relationship blessing, and I'm glad you love it Y/n". The young lady responded,"Is there anything you'd like as a gift Michael?", he nodded, "Oh no don't worry I have my gift right here!", he said as he carried the young lady bridal style. The couple would laugh, then Y/n would place a kiss on his cheek, "Thank you Michael", he blushed, "Oh you're welcome my dear".
One of the maids had knocked on Y/n's room, the couple were alerted,Michael placed the young lady down for her to answer the door. Y/n would call, "Yes!", the maid would respond,"Miss Y/n, Mr and Mrs.Afton wanted me to let you know that they would like to take you to the forest by the estate. They want to take a walk and would like for you and Michael to come along". Y/n responded, "Yes, thank you miss, I'll go ahead and get ready!". Michael smiled, as he approached the young lady, "looks like we're going out for an adventure huh?". The young lady responded, " Mhm, I better get ready dear, I'll see you in a bit". Michael nodded, "Will do love, I better get ready too!". He cheerfully walked out of the young ladies room.
After Sometime
Y/n had the maids help her with her dress, as usual,Mrs.Afton would supply the many jewelry options for her. She had a choice of gold and emerald or silver and emerald set of diamonds, to the young ladies liking she went with (your choice). She also had her makeup and her hair done to her liking.She then wore a pair of small black heels, taking a quick look into the mirror.
The maids were happy to see the young lady in her beautiful dress. Y/n smiled, "It's so beautiful, he has a good taste in clothing doesn't he?". One of the maids replied,"Michael chose such a gorgeous dress for you madam, you look like an angel!", the young lady replied as she hugged the maids,"thank you so much,I appreciate everything you have done for me". The maids smiled,being content with helping the young lady, they loved getting Y/n ready and assisting her in anything she needed.The maids had bowed saying goodbye to the young lady, and got back to doing other chores within the estate. Y/n had made her way down the hallway, towards the stairway to meet with the Afton's. As soon as he went down the stairs Michael, William and Mrs.Afton looked at Y/n, William shouted, "My! Good morning Y/n! Aren't you lovely!". Y/n blushed as she finally reached the end of the stairway. "Good morning sir! Thank you so much", Mrs.Afton gave the young lady a hug as a way to greet her and nodded, as a way to compliment her. Michael gasped, he was speechless looking at the young lady. Y/n spoke to him, "Good Morning Michael is everything alright?", he shook his head, "I'm sorry dear,good morning, it's just that you look so beautiful. I imagined how pretty it would look on you but my goodness, you look so ethereal". The young lady blushed, Michael smiled as he placed a hand on her waist pulling her in for a kiss on the cheek.
William smiled, "Well I'm glad to see you both very happy, Y/n, as you were informed,we will be taking a walk down the forest and have a picnic!". The young lady spoke,"Yes sir, I was informed thank you". Just as she was about to say anything more, a man came down the stairway. William looked up to see who it was, "Ah! How could I forget! Henry will also be joining us!", Y/n's mind was overthinking. "Did he spend the night at the estate? He has a different suit than yesterday".
Henry wore another khaki suit with a different colored tie, he responded to William, "Good morning everyone, I hope you all slept well". He locked eyes with Y/n, making her uncomfortable. Michael responded,"Yes, thank you Henry", William and Mrs.Afton nodded, while the young lady spoke, "Yes,thank you sir". She still felt uncomfortable around him, he seemed sketchy, she wasn't going to separate herself from Michael.
William then spoke, "Well, since everyone is here, let's go down the forest and have lunch!". Everyone followed William to the back of the estate, opening the doors to the garden. The young lady began to remember what occurred last night. He was over her, touching her and looking at her like his prey. She tried to ignore it but it was impossible. Although she held Michael's hand, he was right behind her. Then, after waking through the garden, they entered the forest, not knowing what was expected to happen.
