The next morning I awake feeling refreshed and a lot happier than I had done in a while, considering the events of the past couple of months. I jolt up into a sitting position when there is a light knock on the door and I quickly flatten my hair down, ensuring that it isn't too messy.

"Come in" I call out and the door slowly opens. Sebastian walks in followed by Ciel, who jumps onto my bed and sits at the foot of it, excitedly. "What is the time?" I ask and Sebastian pulls out a silver pocket watch. 

"It is eight past seven, my Lady" He bows after placing his pocket watch back into it's place. My eyes widen as he speaks.

"It is too early" I sigh and fall back onto my pillows, covering my eyes with one arm. Then I feel Ciel get off my bed and I smile in celebration. Ciel whispers something to Sebastian that I can't hear and then the door shuts. Smiling widely, I stretch out and roll over to go back to sleep, but my quilt is instantly removed from my body. In shock, my eyes snap open and I gasp loudly when I see Sebastian stood at the end of my bed with the quilt folded neatly in his arms.

"I'm only following orders and even though your tutor is ill I have made arrangements for your education for the time being" He smirks at me and I gulp nervously, realizing that I am laying in only my night slip. To add to this it has somehow shuffled itself up my body to my thighs and my legs are completely bare. Hurriedly, I sit up and my cheeks flush a bright red. "I will be your tutor for the next couple of weeks" Sebastian announces. His eyes assessing me for some type of reaction. He just saw my legs and he's now acting as if it's nothing. He's probably seen numerous girls like that. Oh, do quit it. 

I nod solemnly and stand from my bed. Gathering all of my courage, I swiftly take back my quilt.

"You may leave now" I try to sound authorative, but my cheeks are still a bright crimson and my voice quakes and cracks in certain places. A small smirk places itself on his lips, he bows and with that he's gone. I let out a long sigh of relief when I hear the door click shut. Remind me to sleep with the door locked in the future.

Later I am sat in the library with Sebastian, studying Geography. I should also add that I'm not very good when it comes to Geography. Currently, he is attempting to teach me about the British Empire, but I find it all completely useless. I stare at the map blankly and yawn quite loudly.

"Sebastian, I'm bored. Please, can we stop" I ask, whilst he is in the middle of describing Australia. He looks at me sternly over the tops of his spectacles.

"No. Lady Phantomhive you must be well taught if you wish to marry a suitable Lord" He replies and turns back to the map, bending down to pick up a book. My eyes widen as his trousers tighten around his buttocks perfectly. I bite my lip slightly and continue to stare at him, dazed. "Is something wrong, Lady Phantomhive?" Sebastian asks, breaking me from my day dreams. I flush wildly and bite my lip as I come to my senses. Taking a deep breath, I gather my courage and look up at him. A small smirk playing on his lips.

"What if I don't want to marry a suitable Lord?" I ask, raising my right eyebrow slightly. His smirk drops and he appears to be in deep thought.

"You have to marry someone. If you don't want a Lord, maybe a Prince or an heir to a company" Sebastian replies and stares at me over the tops of his glasses. I let out a sigh of frustration and collapse my head onto the table with my arms crossed as a pillow.

"Aristocracy is mundane, so is Geography. Wake me up when you can teach me something of interest" I yawn, loudly. Closing my eyes, I hear light footsteps walking towards me and a gloved hand gently lifts my head up; causing me to open my eyes. When I open my eyes I am shocked by Sebastian's proximity. His nose is almost touching mine and it's as if his eyes are staring right into my soul.

"What interests you, Ophelia?" He asks, coolly. A slight smile pulling at the corner of his lips and his maroon eyes flashing a bright red for a split second. His face is merely an inch and a half away from mine. I swallow slowly and instantaneously think of a reply.

"I don't know. Surprise me Sebastian" I state, lifting my right eyebrow and mimicking his half smile.

"Oh, I will" Sebastian whispers, smirking minimally. He steps back and smoothly removes his spectacles. "That's all for today, Lady Phantomhive. We shall continue at precisely the same time tomorrow" He announces before turning and rapidly leaving.
