The love of my life [Thomas Sharpe x female Reader]

Chapter 4

A few days pass by and Edith and Thomas are just getting closer and closer to each other. But he always looks so charming at me too, even though he's there, at our office to talk to Edith. Something is strange about that man, but this just makes him more attractive.
For Edith of course...
I also now know, who the strange lady at the piano was. It was Thomas sister, Lady Lucille Sharpe. She is just as strange as her brother. If not even more...
                                           

„Oh good day miss Baker, what a surprise to see you here!", Thomas said smiling with an sarcastic tone, as he saw me in my office, writing some letters to promote my paintings.
Yeah, I'm  already that desperate...
„What are you writing there, Y/N?", he asks as he comes over to my table.
„I'm writing some letters to promote my paintings, mister Sharpe", I say in a slightly annoyed tone, cause when did I say that he could use my first name? Never.
„Oh, can I help you in any way?", he then asks me smiling and then standing beside my desk.
„No, I'm fine. Thanks. Why are you here?", I ask confused.
„Oh, I just wanted to visit Edith", he says smiling „But I couldn't help myself to step by your office."
„Great", I say smiling sarcastic and disgusted. „Just greet Edith from me then", I then say and look back at my paper again.
„I sure will. We'll see each other, Y/N!", he says smiling at me as he leaves the room.
„Yeah, surely", I say annoyed but also confused, I just don't get why he steps by to say hello to me. I mean he's close to Edith and when you are close to a person, you don't just visit their best friend on a daily basis. Cause that wasn't the first time he stepped by my office to say "hi".
I get those thoughts away and after a while, I finally finish my promotion letters. So I get up and want to get it to the post-office to sent it away. As I walk through the building I hear someone who's walking pretty close to me. I don't think much of it until he catches up and approaches me. Of course it was Sharpe: „Hey  Y/N, so you finished your promotion?" He asks as he's smiling kindly at me.
„Yeah, I did, what are you still doing here?" I ask, as I still walk through the building.
„Oh, Edith wasn't here and I searched for her a bit", he says, as he smiles at me.
„So you where here the whole time?", I ask him a bit confused.
„Yeah, this building is pretty huge, Y/N", he says smiling charming at me.
Strange, I just think. So he was here a whole 45 minutes to 'just look' for Edith? That is pretty strange...
„So, Y/N you also coming to that dance tonight?"
„What dance?", I ask confused, as I reach the point where I can get the letters ready for the shipping.
„Oh, so Edith didn't tell you? She and her father are holding a dance tonight at her house. Strange she didn't tell you, since you two are so close", he says concerned.
I am just confused, why didn't she tell me that? I mean I am not that big of a fan of dances, yes but if my closest friend holds one, I'll attend?! Is there something, that I did wrong or why wouldn't she invite me?
„You okay, Y/N?", Sharpe asks.
I just answer confused: „Yeah, I'm good." And then I get back into my office to pack my things together. „We'll see each other, mister Sharpe!", I say as I leave.
I firstly get home and then I walk over to Edith, I want to ask her what wrong is, because she would never not tell me when a dance was, where she was invited or even hosting it!

So as I get to the house of the Cushings their maid opens the door for me.

„Oh hello misses Baker, I'm sorry but misses Cushing doesn't want to talk to you", she says smiling and then closes the door again.
„Wait!", I say as I get a foot in the door. „Why's that so? Did I do something wrong?" I ask confused.
„Oh you know exactly what you did!", Carter then gets to the door and stands beside his maid to look at me like a really mad old dad, who's telling his daughter that she did something wrong.
„But Carter, I don't know what I did!" I say confused and worried.
What the fuck was he talking about?!
„Oh you broke Edith's heart! She really liked that guy, even though I didn't want that and you just slept with mister Sharpe! How could you?!"
„I did what?!", I ask confused.
„You know the day, you and mister sharpe woke up in the same bed? He told us that it then happened! That's why Edith doesn't want to see you anymore, so go ahead and leave Y/N, we're done here!" He says angrily and closes the door.
„Oh and I'm the asshole?! Sharpe also slept with me and he probably wasn't even drunk while doing that!" I scream at the closed door and then get on my way back to my house.

What the fuck did this Sharpe guy do? What did I do to him, so he would do that to me?

I ask myself confused. As I arrive at home and get inside I see how all my maids are already sitting on the dining table for the dinner we eat together every day, so I get off my coat and then walk over into the kitchen and as I want to sit down on my chair, I see that there's already sitting someone and as I look at him I know who it is.
„Sharpe what are you doing here?" I ask him annoyed.
„Oh Y/N your maid was so nice and let me inside, I hope that's not a problem for you", he says smiling.
„Oh it is a problem to me! What the fuck, sorry, did you tell Edith?! She doesn't want to talk to me anymore cause of your fake story!", I say pissed. Sharpe then gets up, takes my hand and leads me into the opening hall, where I just came from.
„Oh Y/N, you don't believe that, do you? I mean you were drunk as hell so sure you don't remember it", he says smirking at me.
„What do you want from me?", I ask serious.
„I want you. You know? Not Edith not anyone else, you. I know, I know, it looked like I wanted Edith, but no that was just a way to get to you", he says smiling at me.
„You're crazy, what kind of psycho does something like that? You broke my friendship with Edith", I say serious as I look at him disturbed.
What the hell was wrong with him?
