To Be Loved

The Antique Wardrobe

Alex POV

I stared at the photo of the wedding dress. I didn't notice that Mathew walked in.

"Have you got something finished M'lady?" He asked getting me out of my thought.

I looked up at him and covered the dressed. I couldn't have him seeing the dress that I might wear to our wedding. "Yes I have gotten lots of ideas for the next line." He said. "But you are indeed interrupting me." I said.

"My apologizes M'lady. I didn't mean to interrupt your thoughts." He said walking to the door after setting down my tea.

I looked at him. "Mathew." I said. He turned to face me. "I love you." I told him.

He gave me a small smile. "I love you too M'lady." After that he left. I smiled down at my drawing of my dress.

I smiled and looked at my ring. Still in shock about the whole thing.

Soon I was drawing little wedding dressed for the next line.

After finishing I got up and went and walked around.

I stopped outside a door. One that I never really go in. I slowly opened it. It was a little dark but I flipped on the light.

Looking in there was stairs. Memories of me as a little girl run through my mind making me smile.

I decided to go up. Making my way up I made it to the attic. I looked around.

I could see little me running and playing around the attic. I smiled at me little self.

Little me looked at me the guided me to the one of the walls. I followed me. I looked at her. "Why are you guiding me here?" I asked myself. She looked at me and smiled. Showing me to open an antique wardrobe. I look at my little self. "You want me to open it. Ok."

Little me smiled and nodded. I reached out and opened the door. There wasn't really anything in there but of black coat.

I took the hanger down and looked at the coat. Soon I realized that it wasn't a coat but a butler black blazer.

I felt hot tears go down my cheeks as I recognize it. It was the blazer the belonged to my deceased god uncle Matthew.

The one that I call Mathew after. The man that was the head butler to my step father, who would play with me when he had the time or even when he didn't have the time.

Tears beyond tears fell down my cheeks as memories came back. I looked beside me. Little me looked at me and smiled. "Thank you little one." I said holding the blazer close.

Little me looked at me looking like she was asking me a question. She looked at the blazer then at me. I nodded as I understand. "Yes I do miss him. I miss him very much." I told her as she smiled.

She then disappeared and I was left there alone. I took the blazer off then hanger and wrapped it around me shoulders.

The old sent was still in the blazer as I walked down. I closed the door and walked.

Not soon later my nose began to itch as I started to sneeze.

I sat on one of the benches in the hallway. Rubbing my irritated nose.

I was sneezing uncontrollably. When I heard a familiar voice. "Alex." Mathew walked up to me and I sneezed again. "Alex are you alright." He said giving me and tissue.

I was about to thank him when I sneezed again but this time sneezing in it.

"Alex." I felt my body being left then carried somewhere.

I opened my red teary eyes and saw that I was in my bedroom bathroom. Mathew was in front of me undressing me.

After getting me undressed I stepped in the bath.

It took awhile but I finally stopped sneezing. I looked at Matthew. "There we are." He smiled.

"Thank you." I told him. He nodded then handed me a small pill. I smiled as I knew what it was.

I took the allergy pill. Soon after taking it I felt better.

I looked at Mathew. "What happened my love? Where were you?" He said.

"Well I was in the attic. " I explained what happened.

He sat beside the tub and listened. After I was done he smiled. "I see now I know how your allergies got irritated. There's a lot of dust up there. I'll go up there and clean and dust. I promise." Mathew said and I nodded.

"Mathew don't throw out anything up there alright." He nodded.

"Is that were you found the blazer my love" Mathew asked and I nodded.

"Yes Mattie it is. It was my uncles." I paused.

"Did you want me to wash it?" He asked.

"Y-yes....but I don't want get his sent washed off from it...." I looked at him. "Is there anyway that you can clean it but yet keep his smell on it Mathew?" I asked.

He smiled. "I'll see what I can do. If it pleases M'lady then I'll do whatever it takes to clean the blazer for your health but also keep the sent on it."

I smiled at him. He always wanted to make me happy and I love it about him.
