New Waters (Robin De Noir)

7 "Red Red Wine"

It's been a long time I know I really haven't been keeping up and that's my fault but since I have a lot of time on my hands I think this will give me the opportunity to write more(:
•••••••••••••••••••••••••

We made it to the De noir house it was a long and treacherous journey. Just kidding it was like a forty five-minute carriage ride but you get the gist it was pretty long because Robin and our "arrangement" was on my mind the whole time and it seemed no matter how hard I try he wouldn't just you know go away.

I got out of my trance when Ms. Heliotrope's stomach rumbled because of her well known indigestion.
I swear this lady's stomach problems should be a study all on its own.

We made it through the gate and the carriage was at a halt, that was our que to step out. We were greeted by the Nior servants leading us to where the De Noir clan was.

The mansion/castle was so medieval and dark looking it was a bit intimidating but also very beautiful and fascinating; so much history within these walls.

We made it to banquet hall full of De Noirs. Just like the rest of the castle looking mansion, it was dark and medieval as well. Melted candles set the mood for the banquet hall though the rest of the castle smelled old and of lavender in the hall it smelled like apple cinnamon and a hint of cigar smoke.

I looked around because in all honesty there is only one De Noir I really wanted to see, but apparently he came back and left with his fellow "gentlemen" to go trapping in the woods. You know those young men he is always around. If you asked Heliotrope she'd say "Those uncivilized hooligans ahh yes they really need to clean up!".

Anyway how come he gets to leave and I am stuck sitting next to old men with bad breath and no manners and women complaining about well; everything.The only people who are having a remotely good time is the De Noir men because of the endless supply of wine and alcohol. Loveday and Sir Benjamin love each so much that the permanently have fun when together and Maria, well she saved Moonacre so she's always having fun, but the more the evening goes on, the deeper I sink into my dark leathered studded seat.

Then with all his grace and charm. Robin De Noir finally makes his grand appearance. He walked in with out a care in the world and greeted his father, sister and Maria. It was completely and utterly awkward because he kept staring straight at me and gave me his infamous smirk and he took a seat that was directly in front of me.

"Ahh Willow you look quite ravishing this evening." Robin said his eyes looked as though I was a meal.

Ewww.

"Robin can you please just eat your course and stop looking at me like I'm a roast beef. I'd really appreciate that." I gave him a sarcastic smile.

As you can tell I'm not really having it with him today and yes I know I said I couldn't stop thinking about him but that doesn't mean I'd enjoy being looked at like dangling meat in front of a lion who hasn't eaten in days.

"You know you are to feisty for your own good." He said and went on and did as he told and started eating his course.

What the hell Noir?!?

"Aren't you going to add some sort of sarcastic remark or sexual innuendo?!?" Okay that is odd.

"Hmmm no." and he went on eating.

You're probably wondering why, we'll because Noirs are notorious for never directly do as they are told .

After those words where exchanged and dinner went on he didn't look nor talked to me at all. I didn't realize how much this would bother me till dessert rolled around and the wine was rich and sweet. I need to stop being so bothered. Oh this is so unladylike of me and Heliotrope is going to kill me but Fuck it.

Of course I'm not gonna lie and say I hadn't drank any alcohol because I have and I was on my fourth goblet of wine before I switch to the hard liquor.

Surprisingly I was starting to have fun after the third goblet. These old De Noir men are not that bad and quite fun. We started to joke around and they'd tell me interesting stories; some gruesome, some sweet and others informative it was quite fascinating.

"Lady, I'm sorry to not ask from the beginning what is your name?" One of the older gentleman said and all the men listened in.

"Well it's Willow." I said taking another sip of wine from my goblet.

From the corner of my eye I could see Robin looking unsettled because his brow furrowed together but then he shook it off. Interesting that's strange.

"Well Will I'm Ulric De Noir and any lady who drinks four goblets of De Noir wine and still has her composure deserves to drink with the men. How is that fellows!"

"Aye" said the men around.

"Uncle do you think that's a good idea? She didn't say if she wanted to join or even be called Will." Robin stepped in looking at his uncle then me.

"Oh no I don't mind at all and I like Will it's nice and simple." I smile straight at him what does he think he is trying to do.

And from then on Ulric and his fellows brought servants who introduced me to new liquor from all over these lands.
I was feeling so amazing even though wboth me and Robin would make eye contact from time to time it didn't bother me as much then the beginning.

The music started to get fast pace and many started to dance on the other side of the banquet hall where the music was playing. Even Ms. Heliotrope went to the dance floor with a goblet at hand dancing and shouting how much this whine is helping her indigestion.

I was dancing with everyone and even some De Noir kids and elderly then I see Robin dancing really close with a girl who I couldn't see her face. I felt insulted and I don't know why but to my luck a fine gentleman took my hand and asked if I wanted to dance. Of course I said yes.

Instead of the majority of De Noirs' he was wearing grey and white which is odd since most De Noirs wearing dark shade colors. He had light brown hair and blue eyes he literally looked like a prince charming

We danced and danced I was forgetting about Robin till he broke us apart.

"Robin what are you doing!?" He dragged me out of the banquet hall doors and led me too the main hall and yes I did put up a struggle he is pretty strong .

"Shush Will." Is all he said then he let go.

"What was that all about?!?" I was so annoyed while I was rubbing my wrist that he pulled.

"No what was that all about!" He raised his voice.

Oh no he did not just raise his voice at me.
