Eyes like stars (hat films fanfic)

Chapter 10: 7 shots of whiskey

"He's trying to change the law."

"Who." 

"Chris Trott." 

"Has he seen the rebellion." 

"No, no one in the north has seen it." 

"Keep it that way." The man stared back at the flickering monit

Luma's pov: 

"Lady luma. As your director I have to teach you how to be the lady of the people." martyn says. I stare out through the window with curiosity. I hear martyn sigh before saying "your not really listening to me are you." 

"No not really." I say laughing a bit. Martyn doesn't seem to be in the playful mood. I sneeze, from the amount of dust in the library. "What's wrong martyn, your not yourself today."

"Kaeyi and I broke up." I turn away from the window and look at martyin seriously. "Really, that's sad." He nods placing a large book on the table. Most dust fills the air and I swat my hand in the air getting it out of my face. 

"You know why we broke up." Martyn seems aggravated. "Cause of everyone expect you and your mother. Everyone thinks it's inappropriate for people to be dating in a work environment." He seemed flustered in a way. 

"You think they pressured Chris to marry me."  Martyn shrugged flipping through the book. "That non of us know about. No one wanted a girl from the south to marry their son. I believe it was Chris' decision then." I sigh slightly. I sit down in a chair. Martyn knows a lot about everyone. He has ears like a hawk, and knows a lot of secrets from hearing the maids gossip or hearing news and stories from the other directors. Such behavior would cause you to have your ear cut off, but the rulers find him resourceful.  

"Kyla and Alex their like two love birds that can't get enough of each other." Martyn says giggling slightly. I nod smiling. "Panda said he walked in on them and they didn't even notice he was their." I looked at martyn shocked.

"What did he do." I looked at him mortified trying to get the image out of my head. "Left of course. He says their moans will forever be in his nightmares." I laugh along with martyn in near hysterics. After we calm down from laughter martyn tells me more gossip "Ross is being forced to marry Haru." 

"Kyla was being banged by Alex and Chris had his eyes set on you." Martyn says. "It's why he's taking so long to propose." 

"Martyn I fear if you speak of that rumor ever again, your tongue will be cut off and served on a silver platter to the Hornby family." Martyn nodded with a grin of a child planted on his face. I still to this day do not trust martyn with my secrets, not now not ever.

After we skimmed through a few pages of the book about my responsibilities as the lady of the people. After martyn dismissed me It was about 5. Time for dinner. Instead of eating with the other district girls I would be eating with the Trott family with my mother. Dinner was normal with small casual talking. I felt Chris's eyes glance at me lovingly. I glanced back sometimes when I wasn't too focused in the food or the conversation. 

As soon as dinner was over and we were all dismissed, the stars rose into the sky, with my eyes watching their every move. I stood outside on my room balcony.

"Do you do anything besides watch the stars." Chris's voice asked, as he stumbled to me. I feel him snake his arm around my waist. This was of course unusual. I smelled the faint smell of alcohol and sighed. He's probably drunk.

"Did you have alcohol." I asked. His eyes were dilated slightly and he had large bags under his eyes.

"About 7 shots of whiskey." He said smiling. He stumbled slightly and I held him up. 

"Chris you shouldn't be drinking too much." I scorned him. He always hated alcohol so this was unlike him.

"I'm so stressed and tired, luma. The whole system is bullshit." He says. I drag him into the room and sit him down in a chair. I know what system he's talking about. 

"I wanna change it. I wanna change it so bad." He says. I run my hand through his hair. "Before I meant you I thought you were all just thieves, and just horrible people in general. But I know that your all not like that after meeting you and your mother. Your just like the people of the north expect less wealthy. I wanna change it. I wanna make it equal, I just wanna do it for people like you. I wanna do it for you." I I kneel down and lean in and kiss him on the lips. I part and look at him in his brown eyes. 

"You look tired you need to sleep Chris it's not healthy." I go to stand up but he grabs my wrist. 

"Luma I love you." He says I smile a say "I love you too." He kisses me on the lips then mutters "do you trust me." I nod. He kisses me on the lips and we find ourselves amerced in the covers

***time skip***

I wake up in the middle of the night under Chris's arm, with only underwear on. I smile at him, looking at him and his scruffy brown hair peacefully asleep for once. I move and feel a sore pain radiate from my stomach.Ouch.

I carefully move his arm off my waist, and get off the bed. I walk towards the window sill having my eyes focused on the stars that are radiating in the night sky. I smile and sit down on the window sill watching the night sky. I wish everyone in the south could see stars like this. Maybe with Chris's help one day they will.
