Thomgelica: Every letter

Helpless

Angelica's POV

"Thomas..." I breathed as we broke apart, panting.

"I...I'm sorry, Angelica... I--"

"Shhhh," I told him, putting a finger to his lips, "It's ok, I liked it." I smiled, blushing, and he grinned back at me. I heard giggling from behind us and I turned around to see Eliza and Alexander, holding hands and staring.

I blushed even more as Eliza grinned.

I may have imagined it but I was sure there was a hint of sadness in Alexander's eyes. He looked hurt.

"Come on," said Eliza, grabbing my free hand, "Peggy's been looking for you." She started to pull me inside but I dropped her hand.

"I'll be there in a minute." I smiled and she nodded slowly taking Alexander's hand to leed him inside.

I turned back to Thomas, squeezing his hand that I still held.

"I.." I started, but paused, I didn't know what to say.

"I don't want you to think that I did that... that I kissed you, to try and make Alexander jealous.. I-I don't know why I did, but it wasn't that." I said. It didn't sound right, it sounded like I was trying to make Alexander jealous.

"It's fine," said Thomas. I looked up from the extremely interesting rock I'd been looking at, unable to look into his eyes and saw he was smiling, so I did to. "Angelica, people expect people like us to be able to explain everything we do, but sometimes it's good to do without thinking. You don't have to know why, I kissed you because your a beautiful and intelligent girl and it feels like there could be no tomorrow, that this is a bubble outside of time. And I wanted to." He chuckled at that last part, and I smiled even more.

"I should go back..." I said, and began to walk inside.

"Angelica, wait!" Thomas shouted as I neered the ballroom. I turned back, trying not to blush as he looked at me like I was the most beautiful person in the world. "There's a ball in two weeks time, the day before I go back to France. It would be an honour if you would go with me."

I tried not to answer too fast as my heart raced.

"I'd love to" I said, before dancing back to my sisters.
