Rather disgruntled she sat up all the way, and wondered how she had even come to ths point, laying in bed with a lost sailor who she had watched over the years transform from a silly curly haired boy to a sturdy young man.
It all started seven years ago in late august, and Alison,Sophina Shaw was all set to marry the soon to be duke of Coventry, Alexander jacob williams. . .
" Oh mother for heavens sake stop it!" Alison's mother Dolores Shaw had been pestering with that damn corset all morning.
"Now, now you want to look presentable In front of Alexander, and the duke. I knew you wer'nt born so pretty for nothing."
Alison sighed. she had heard her mother say that a hundred had a times a day, to anyone who would listen ever since she had been born seventeen years ago. Her mother was a maid who worked in the dukes house hold, and lived in one of his empty rooms on the lower floors. Because of this, Alison had practically
grown up with Alex, and had been best friends until a few years back when he started to "train" for his role of a soon to be duke, and it was said to be ''unproper to horse around with the daughter of a maid''. So natrully she barley saw him around, and almoast never spoke to him until out of nowhere at one of hs special balls he found her in the middle of the croud, (probably because there she had nowhere to run) dropped to one knee and asked for her hand. So she decded to do the proper thing and slap him, as hard as she could, across the face, and with a sharp gasp from the whole room, stormed out.
Later, her mother came to find her for a scolding " Are you out of your mind!" Screamed the festered woman. " Do you want us to be put out! You've just embarassed the heir infront of the whole of society!"
"Oh mother stop it! We have bareley had a decent coversation for at least three years, and now, just because he's royalty he thinks he can just drop in with "oh sorry i cut all ties with you so that i could rule over this snarky city, oh by the way, wanna get married?"
That was the end of the argument, but then she spoke with her mother who told her that it was a great stroke of luck, married to a duke, promotion in society, never have to work another day in our lives, yada,yada.yada So she agreed thinking it would be nice to get to know alex again. Now to be honest Alex was now a total creep but what can a young woman do about it?
Now she was getting ready to have lunch wth him.
" Mother please i am absolutly postive that Alex will marry me, corset,or no corset.''
" You can't be sure of anything with the way men are behavng these days, and what have i told you about calling him alex. You are to call him Alexander it sound more proper."
"Oh hush"
Tommorrow Alison was set to go on a voyage with alexander, and his marines. it was only for a month, and Alison's mother, and everyone else thought that it would be good to get some form of plesant time with him before the wedding.
She did not hwever know that this would be the worst, and best mistake of her life.
