Another boring party my brother is throwing where I have to be polite to strangers and pretend to be something that I am not, the perfect lady. I hate attending my brother's parties or any social party in general.

I sighed and walked out on the balcony and looked up at the full moon that was shining beautifully above the garden and the fountain. Something about this view makes me forget for a few moments about the party and smile a little. It's wonderful and the music playing inside suits the view and relaxes me before a male voice snaps me out of my daydream state.

"Excuse me, can I join you and enjoy this splendid view?"He says politely and I turn to him only to find myself looking at the man people talked about in the last weeks. The man that wanted to sell me a few years back when I was helping my brother with the Jack the Reaper case.

"Viscount of Druitt, it's a pleasure to see you. Of course you can."I gracefully bow down in front of him and fake a smile.

He looks at me from head to toe and smiles at me as he takes my hand and kisses it."How didn't I figure it out sooner that it is you, my sweet little robin? It's a blessing to meet you after all these years. I have been searching for you."

"Oh, you did? I've been here all this time by my brother's side. I think it's time for you to know me by my real name, Viscount. I'm Ciela Phantomhive, the twin sister of Earl Phantomhive."I smirk and pull my hand then turn around and look again at the garden.

"Auch. You grew up and became such a cold lady, little robin. Five years ago you were such a sweet bird. You got more beautiful as the years passed."He whispers in my ear and wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I sigh at the closeness but I ignore it and look at the stars bored until my favourite music starts playing. I turn around and look in his lavender eyes that I love and hate at the same time. He smiled at me and took the position as he held me close and gently.

"Does my sweet robin wish to honor me with this dance?"He says and already starts to dance slowly, in order for me to follow him easily.
I stay quiet during the song and when it comes to an end I pull away and look away from him, yet he gets close to me and holds my hand firmly. I sigh and play with my nails to distract myself.

"What do you want to do this time? Do you want to try and sell me again? I warn you that if you want any of this get ready to have your plans crumbled."

"My dear, I'm not that kind of man you used to know. I changed and I coudn't take the image of my sweet robin out of my head. All I could think of was you."

I scoff at what he says and pull my hand back from his then walk back inside to look for Ciel. To my surprise he was conversing with aunt Francis and Edward. That's something you don't see everyday. I sigh and make my way to the garden. I don't like this party and yet I don't like being in my room on such a marvelous night.

I am supposed to marry Edward in 3 months, but I can't say that I see him more than my annoying cousin. But that's my aunt's wish and I can't say no to her. If I do she will literally kill me. Me and Edward never really talked before. We only said 'hello' to each other when we were meeting, but nothing more. I don't know how our marriage will be.

I sigh as I think about it and sit down on the edge of the fountain, looking at my reflection in the water when I hear the voice I rarely hear.

"Hey, Ciela. Would you mind if I sit next to you?"

I look up and see Edward a few steps away from me while he was trying to look away, a little pink across his cheeks. I put on a fake smile and nod my head slightly then watch him walk towards me and sit down. He breathed in then looked at me and placed his hand on mine. I look at it then up at him, his cheeks red with shyness or embarrassment, I can't say for sure.
