Alexandria made her way back into Colin and Penelope's home with a small grin on her lips, she didn't care that she was sopping wet as she had planned a discreet exit anyway. Alexandria subtly turned her head and sure enough, Benedict was still standing in the middle of the garden letting the rain wash over him dumbfounded by their joint love confessions.

"You are sopping wet, Alexandria." Penelope said blocking the doorway, Alexandria jumped back a little as she had not even seen Penelope approach. "I needed some air." Alexandria lied and tried to push by Penelope who would not let her past. "Do you want me to get even more wet?" Alexandria questioned as she stood on the stoop into the home, letting a little giggle slip by her lips at the innuendo.

Penelope wiggled her eyebrows at Alexandria with a knowing look to which Alexandria nodded very enthusiastically and couldn't help but giggle. Both women squealing like they were little girls again. "You need to tell me every detail!" Penelope said excitedly. "Another time when it is just us.. and perhaps Eloise." Alexandria smiled and Penelope nodded.

"I am going to go home but I don't want to attract attention by walking in sopping wet with everyone questioning where I have been." Alexandria said. "Go through the kitchen, there is a little side door there. Thank you for being here today." Penelope smiled as she hugged Alexandria tight. "I would not have missed this for the world Pen, such a beautiful turn out and ceremony." Alexandria smiled.

"I will tell Eloise of your departure and get her to send word to your family." Penelope said formulating a plan, they both exchanged quick hugs and goodbyes before Alexandria ran through the kitchen and out the side door.

By the time the carriage Alexandria had took dropped her home, it was nearing nightfall already. Alexandria walked into her home where maids and butlers greeted her, she saw Clara hurriedly approach. "Alexandria! You are all....wet?" Clara said confused as she looked out the window only to see that the rain had seized.

"Ah yes, that is a story indeed." Alexandria said with a big grin on her lips. "Oh pray tell!" Clara squealed, "Perhaps you would like a bath?" Clara suggested. "Oh Clara, you always know what I need." Alexandria smiled and the two ladies went off to the bathroom.

Clara had drew a bath from Alexandria with flower petals scenting the bath beautifully, she lowered herself into the bath until she was fully submerged. As she washed herself, Alexandria recounting the events of the evening in order. "This is so exciting!" Clara said and Alexandria nodded in agreement.

"I hope when you and Mr Bridgerton get married, I will still be your maid." Clara asked more shyly than she was a mere moment ago. "I am sure that is quite some time away." Alexandria chuckled. "Clara, of course you will be my maid! How would I ever look my prettiest for balls with you!"

After the bath, Alexandria had gotten dried off and into her nightclothes and said goodnight to Clara. She had heard the rest of her family enter the home a while ago but they hadn't disturbed her, she presumed Eloise must have said that she was feeling under the weather.

Alexandria had been trying to sleep for an hour at least, she grabbed her pocket watch and looked at the time. It was only quarter past 1 in the morning, it felt like longer than that. Groaning, she threw herself back onto her bed with a sigh praying that sleep would wash over her. The excitement of the day made her unable to sleep, and she also could not stop thinking about Benedict and what is next for the two of them.

An idea popped into her head then that would surely make her sleep, she felt filthy for even thinking about it. Alexandria slipped her hand into her underwear and start circling the little bud. Instantly, pleasure coursed through her system and pooled up at the bottom of her stomach. She had only pleasured herself once before but had withdrew her hand when she was close. Alexandria had overheard two women at a ball talking about it in hushed tones with each other, so later that night Alexandria was naturally curious.
