The Ball Night

The Storm

"Cathy, what if they found out...". I grabbed her hands," About us?"

I flutter my eyes open and stare up at the ceiling. I look down at Catherine, gosh she looks worn out. Since what happened yesterday, and Jacob being a little piece of crap to her, it's just so much for her to take. I mean, she basically spent most of her life in a academy and already she's getting married by will. It's just not fair.

I carefully unwrapped her arms around me and silently go to the bathroom. The least I could do is to show her that someone cares about her in this castle. I set up the bath and went to go get the warm water, but I had to do it quietly. I don't want to ruin the surprise.

I checked both ways before getting out of her bedroom and went to my bedroom. In order to do all of this, I must need the help of Lu, the second person I trust here. I grabbed the bell and rang it two times. In just a few minutes a knock on a door tells me his here. I walk towards it and open," Lu, I need you to bring buckets of warm water. Could you do that for me please? Oh and good morning."

Lu stares but nods," I sure can, oh and good morning to you as well miss Ruby." He rushes off down the hall. I close the door behind me and go inside Cathy's. She's still sleeping. I stare at her face, her smooth skin and plumb lips, those sweet lips. That Jacob doesn't even deserve such an angel like her, or any girl at all if he isn't going to show respect. I heard the swooshing of water and I opened the door carefully. Lu was waiting in front my door with three buckets!

"Lu, wow you're the best!" I caught him by surprise but he laughs anyway." Oh thank you, you see we were trained to do these sort of things. I've been living and serving for this castle since I was 20." He said.

"Woah, that long huh?" We said our goodbyes and I carried the buckets of warm water to Cathy's. It's like almost 7 in the morning, so this gives me time to pour it all. After filling the tub, I went over to Cathy and shook her gently." Cathy." She groans and opens one eye.

"Jackie." She says in a sleepy tone. I sat on the edge of the bed next to her." I made a warm bath for you, so you can at least relax for a few hours, how does that sound?" She smiles and nods." It sound wonderful, thank you." Yes! She likes it!" Do I carry you or..." she lifts her arms up. Carry it is then.

I dug my arms under the blanket and slipped her out and carried her with one arm on her back and the other on the cup of her legs. She leans on my the front of my shoulder as I carried her to the bathroom. I placed her on the toilet seat and begin heading out until Cathy says," Undress me."

WOAH WOAH WOAH... I stop under the frame of the door and tensed up. Woah woah woah woah," U-un-d-ress?" I said, not turning to look at her.

"Yes." She says.

Oh god. I gulped down my nervousness and nod. I turn and look at her. She too looked as nervous as I do." O-okay. U-um." I touch her silky shirt and lifted it upwards. I closed my eyes as it flung off and had it in my sweaty hands. I opened one eye ONLY to look at her red face. I touched her thigh and trailed it till I caught the edge of the silky pants. I slowly took them off and smiled nervously." O-okay, p-princ-esess. Y-you can take off y-your under garment." I heard her take it off and dips herself in the tub. I sighed and open my eyes. I could've said no, but my mind said yes, well I couldn't control it. I can't control myself sometimes either, I mean I left that hickey on Cathy's neck for christ sakes!

"Knock Knock! Is anyone home?" My nose flares at that piece of crap Jacob. Cathy replies with," I'm in the bathroom. Do not come in."

"Ooo, in the bath without me? Now I have to get inside princess." He rattles the door but luckily I locked it. I smirked at his failed attempt but rush to the bathroom door when I heard the chug of a key unlocking the door. I locked the bathroom door and placed a chair underneath the door knob. His heavy footsteps stops and he says," Oh don't be like that princess! You thought I would have the keys to your room? Remember that you need my permission to head outside!" Wow this guy is wackier than a honey badger. Now I'm really going to glue myself to Cathy.
