When you get home you get ready for bed you see her taking her makeup off in her vanity mirror. Walking over you take the cloth from her hands and help her. 'Are you okay?' you carefully sit on her lap. 'I am, I am just tired.' you lean in hugging her as you take off her necklace and earrings. 'I think I'm ready to go into society again, there is a gala this weekend do you think your friends would like to join us?' You unbutton the silk bronze jacket and slip her bra off but you sense she is in a vulnerable mood. You grab her nightgown helping her into it which makes her smile. 'I'm sure our friends would love to attend.' you take off her skirt, underwear, her stockings then help her out of her shoes.


'Wait.' you stop her as she heads to bed. You bring her into a long slow romantic kiss which makes her moan. 'Thank you, for looking after me.' she whispers. You smile and climb onto the bed patting the space beside you. Getting in she lies with her back to you so you can tuck her into the covers. You keep your arm out of the covers and wrapped around her keeping her safe. In the morning when you wake you are still holding her but your face is on her chest and she's stroking your hair you don't move. 'Pretending to be asleep again?' her voice is still husky from sleep.

A smile spreads over your face and you blush looking up at her, her eyebrow is raised. 'I'm just comfy here.' you kiss her chest. John knocks at the door. 'May I enter?' The Baroness sits up and adjusts her gown rolling her eyes. 'If you must.' You lie on your side as John carries the bouquet of red roses in. 'Why John, you shouldn't have.' the Baroness says sarcastically. 'Very good Baroness, witty as always.' he hands her the flowers and she takes out the little card. "Victoria, you grow more beautiful with each day, love (y/n). Xoxo" The Baroness looks at you and suddenly grabs you kissing you hungrily.

John immediately cringes. 'I will go uh get a vase for these.' he takes the flowers and leaves the room like he's on fire. Your eyes widen not having expected such a response. She climbs on top of you pinning your hands down she kisses you passionately. The make-out session continues all the way up to lunch and when she parts from you your lips are swollen as hell. 'A simple thank you would've sufficed.' you assure. The Baroness is smiling at you her cheeks a pale pink. 'That was very romantic of you, I appreciate the gesture.' she places a hand where your heart is feeling it beat.

At Kat's wedding, you are a bridesmaid the dress the Baroness and you designed is beautiful. The Baroness sits on the wooden chairs beside John and Louis who she has grown quite fond of. The wedding is in the forest with lots of guests. You follow Kat up the aisle and then stand beside the other bridesmaids. All the way through the wedding ceremony your eyes are on her she truly is a beauty. When the ceremony finishes you all head outside as the bride prepares to do the ceremonial tossing of the flowers. You aren't interested in this and instead, go find your girl wrapping an arm around her waist. 'Thank you for coming love.' you smile. 'Of course.'

Holding her hand the flowers fall and you both catch the bouquet at the same time looking at each other you both blush

Holding her hand the flowers fall and you both catch the bouquet at the same time looking at each other you both blush. 'Oooh, I guess you gotta get married now.' Kat teases. The Baroness gives a sad smile and speaks under her breath. 'Would that we could.' she sighs and walks away leaving you with the flowers. You don't really know how you feel about this and watch as she goes off to speak with John about bringing the car around. At the wedding reception the couples are dancing you offer a hand. 'C'mon.' you give a soft smile.

She looks a little uncertain as she doesn't know many of the people at the wedding party however she puts her hand in yours. Taking her to the dance floor she rests against you and you sway with her. 'Mmm Baroness.' you sigh against her ear. 'It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.' The Baroness snorts. 'Of course, it does. My entire business is based on that very concept.' You sigh and roll your eyes at her. 'Our business is our business. I love you and I'm not ashamed of that.' She holds you tight. 'You've never been publicly humiliated.' she points out.

You drawback a little looking at her. 'My being with you would be considered publicly humiliating?' You ask. The Baroness shakes her head. 'That's not what I meant.' You stop dancing. 'I think that's exactly what you meant.' you pause. 'Excuse me.' you take off grabbing a bottle of wine as you leave. The Baroness goes to follow you but John stops her. 'I'll talk to her.' he follows you. Kat approaches the Baroness who is standing alone and looking awkward she holds out her hands. 'May I?' The Baroness swallows but nods allowing Kat to lead her as you had before.

"I said I'd catch you if you fall

And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you could take advantage of meTell me how's it feel sittin' up there?
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?"
