not what you expected

chapter 5

It was twelve when Charlotte asked her cousin Anna if they could head home, it had been almost three hours ago that she had last seen Lord Sebastian Redcliff, and continued wishing that maybe he'll come back and ask her for another dance, but reigned that it wasn't going to happen for he had probably left.

"Cheer up Lotte you'll probably see him again" Anna said with a cheerful voice, coming to stand next to her.

" i know, i know it's just that he left so fast" she replied disappointed.

" well no matter, the carriage is here and your parents are already by the doors."

" let's go home, i cant wait to go knock out in my cozy bed" charlotte said heading for the doors as well.

"Great i cant wait for you to tell me what was said between the two of you " Anna told her in a whisper.

"A lady never tells" Lotte looked at her with an innocent look.

"Pish posh, you a lady" Anna stated jokeing in another whisper while getting seated inside the great black carriage.

"What ever" she responded rolling her large green eyes as they departed towards the Banks London's town house.

Sebastian lay in his big bed waiting for sleep to come to him, but apparently it wasn't going to happen. He had no idea what was happening to him, after his nightly visits to his misstres Emily house, sleep never failed him, so now he lay in bed alone with his thoughts . Tossing and turning , he never did like to be alone it caused him to hear his thoughts and many questions would arise inside his head.

They went something like this:

' can i really go through with this courtship to the beautiful lady charlotte banks?.

He spoke to himself while his lean strong arm raised to touch his chin .

'Yes ' was the reply, all those debts must be paid, he needed that money to pay off all those dammed bill's if not debtors prison it was for him, and that was definitely not a choice .

Now his thoughts focused again on charlotte, ...hell with that girl that still wouldn't leave his mind.

What was happening he was Sebastian for Gods sakes, he had met many beautiful women, bedded to many to count, but they never stayed stuck in his train of thought that long.

she was special , all through his two hour stay with Emily he imagined that it was her legs he was stroking, arms he was kneeling, but in reality it was not her... when he would thrust into the warm womanly wetness would he picture her and her alone .

This was insane Sebastian insisted to himself standing up from his bed, putting his robe on and headed for the study down stairs to drink .

It was dark, probably around three in the morning when he spotted out the windows the black carriage arrival at the Bank's town house, which was probably four houses away from the one he was currently resided, thinking that it would go to great acces to his victim when he planned the hole marriages deal with his friends, Lord Samuel Smith and Lord Daniel Jones.

Watching out the window, drink still in hand as the four passengers got out the carriage, his eyes remained with the short woman, knowing it was his future wife to be.

Dirty thoughts once again returned to his brains.

She was special indeed, Sebastian smiled putting the forgotten drink down on the desk that was surrounded by paper work, and walked up to his bed.

As Lotte was exiting the carriage she felt the hairs at the back of her neck stand up, having the feeling that someone was looking at her.

"Hey charlotte did you hear someone finally rented the town house down the street" said Anna to her.

"Oh really? She replied to her cousin curiosity straining in her voice, as the conversation made her forget the fact that someone was watching .

"Yeap, but we still don't know who it is" Anna continued as they entered the house, each heading to their

rooms .

Sleep didn't come to Lotte, tired as she was, that morning she had gotten up like alwas early to take her private walk around the park, came home as the sun was raising and had gotten ready to go out with Anna and make her daily calls to family and friends, and buy the last things she needed for that night's ball.

Afterall the shopping it was time to get ready, had sat for what seemed an eternity, playing the wallflower role.....until her knight in shiny armor got there and changed her hole evening into a magical one.

Charlotte knew that she had not been that long with Lord Sebastian, but still felt a great pull towards him.

He was handsome with that golden hair that made her want to pull her hands through it, but ig was his eyes that made Lotte nervous, a warm chocolate in color. Cold eyes that put her nerves on edge making her stutter return.

Sleep finally pulled her in and she began to snore softly, falling into a wonderful dream.

She was dancing, and laughing as Sebastian had her in a tight hold that gave her shivers, making her feel so warm.

Smiling up at him and he began to place his lips against hers.

Charlotte had to tip toe to get her soft arms around his neck

"Charlotte Banks, will you be my wife ?" She heard him ask softly agains her ear.

For an unknown reason tears filled her eyes and she said no ....

Why, why had she said no, Sebastian left her there, a sad look crossed his face .

"Am sorry" Lotte tried to tell him, she started to run towards him as her dream continued to get worse.

Before leaving the ballroom he turned and spoke in a hard chilling voice, " you will be mine my lady" leaving her there, alone im the dark.

Sitting down on the marble floor, letting her dress make a circle all around her.

Saying to herself "am sorry" once again but there was no one there to hear.

Charlotte awoke as the sun was raising, bringing light in her room. Sitting up she couldn't help to wonder what the dream ment, she had said no why?...

Still she decided to leave the dramatic dream behind and walked to the bell pull, she needed some coffee.

------------

Sebastian awoke with a temper , having dreamed the ball , kissing charlotte, and asked for her hand, but that wench had told him no!.

Getting up with half a mind to go over to the Banks and demand and ask her to explain why not , but it was just a dream it was stupid, he was sure charlotte would not deny him after he was trough with her ,

Smiling he began his plan for the day....
