Never Perfect (Ciel x Lizzy, Sequel To Happiness)

His Butler, The Date

Lol. Sorry, I lied about the update. xD And BTW, the next part might confuse you.

Like, why is she already 24? Didn't you say 23? Well, I make a lot of mistakes. And 24 is around the age she should be, if not older, if I'm right. A lot has happened in these two books. She is older than Ciel, keep in mind.

The next chapter will be dramatic. Because this one and the next one were supposed to be one chapter but then I got carried away with my writing. xD

ELIZABETH'S P.O.V.

I woke up and realized no one was wrapped in my arms. Had he done it again? Left bed without telling me..? I know he doesn't want to bother me but still, I don't like waking up alone. I'm being silly aren't I?

I opened my eyes to see him sitting up, a book in his hand. I smiled lightly at him then sat up and stretched out my arms.

"Thought I left you?" He asked, setting the book on the bedside table. I didn't give conformation but he continued. "Let's get ready."

I nodded. Today, I had planned quite a bit for us. First, a big breakfast, go to town to buy some clothes for us and Vincent, then we'll have a picnic in a place of Ciel's choosing, then at night we will go ice skating.

I left the bed and he stared at me. I smiled and raised a brow. "It's not polite to stare. Do I have something on my face?" I said with another smile, walking up to him.

His eyes grew wide and he glanced away. "No, I'm sorry you just look really pretty today." I let out a light laugh.

"Thank you." I shook my head and left to bathe.

CIEL'S P.O.V.

Sebastian helped me find a place for us to have our picnic. It's at a secluded area with a cabin that my parents owned, there's a pool there. It's quite pretty, in all seasons really but especially during the Springtime. It's Winter right now but still beautiful. I have to bring her back some time.

"Ciel, I know you're trying to be romantic but I'm not liking this." The blonde beauty spoke then laughed. "I feel too old for this."

"Firstly, you are twenty-four, not at all old. Secondly, you can't take the blindfold off, I'm being romantic. I will show it to Vincent and he will bring his wife here one day." She shook her head. "Plus, we are almost there."

A smile appeared on her lips. "Good, I am not comfortable at the moment."

"We're here." I announced. I slid my hand in hers and lead her out of the carriage. By the way did I say small cabin? No, I meant mansion in Italy for vacations.

I slid off her blindfold and a smile lit up her face. "Wow. It's beautiful." Elizabeth looked around for a moment.

"Why didn't we just stay here in the first place?" She smiled and pecked my lips.

"I had Sebastian move our things here." Another smile from her. "Come on, we will have our picnic in the gazebo."

Elizabeth took my hand but there was no smile on her face like I had expected. I knew our marriage needed to heal but I won't deny that it hurts to see her like, emotionless-- like I was.

I lead her inside first, showing her around. Feeling bad, I'm sure my mood shifted some-- or at least enough for Elizabeth to notice.

She frowned and stopped her steps, cupping my cheeking lightly. "Are you alright? You seem upset?"
