In your dreams (John Laurens x Oc )

(1) 'in your dreams'

Isabella's POV

As I got out of bed, I quickly got dressed before my personal maid, Lia, could come up to get me. I hate how my mother treated the maids, I always told her that I don't need one, but she always insisted.
"Good morning miss- oh gosh, I'm so sorry I hadn't come quicker miss Isabella!" She said, as she quickly walked over to me and zipped up my lime green dress. Lia was in her mid-twenties. She was working here for a couple of months until she finds a stable job, which my father agreed on. My father is a nice man, but it depends on who you are. My father pays her more than any other maid. One, because she only agreed for working a couple of months. Two, because her parents orphaned her. She then went to her aunt, but after a couple of months she soon died. My father took her in so she could at least have a table job. My father heard of her, from my mom who was in desperate need for a personal maid for me.
"How many times do I have to tell you Lia, call me Bella. Besides, your fine. I won't tell my mother a thing." I said. She sighed.
"I'm gonna go ahead now Lia, see ya!" I said, as I walked down to the dining hall.

"Good morning Mother, Morning Father." I said, as I sat by Angelica. Across from me was Peggy, and next to her was Eliza. My mom and dad were on each side of the table.
"I'm going down to the city, do any of you guys wanna come?" Dad asked, as sipped on his wine.
Me and my sisters rose our hands, excitedly. Of course, Angelica was going to find a 'mind at work'.
"Can they Catherine?" Our dad asked our mom. We all looked at her, desperately.
"Sure," she said. We all grinned.

We soon got done eating, and went into the carriage.
"Make sure you girls come home by sundown, you know how your mother is." Our father said. We all nodded.
"And most certainly, don't go downtown." He said. We all nodded. Our father first left the carriage. After a couple of minutes, we soon rushed out.

Narrator POV

"There's nothing rich folks love more,
than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor.
They pull up in their carriages and gawk
At the students in the common
Just to watch them talk.
Take Philip Schuyler, the man is loaded.
Uh-oh! But little does he know that his daughters, Peggy, Isabella, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at-" Aaron Burr said before he was interrupted.

"WORK! WORK!" Soon the four sisters appeared.

"Angelica!"
"Work! Work!"
"Eliza!"
"Work! Work!"
"Isabella-"
"And Peggy!"
"The Schuyler sisters!"
"Angelica, Isabella, Peggy, Eliza-"
"Work!"

"Daddy said to be home by sundown,"
"Daddy doesn't need to know!" Angelica said to Peggy.
"Daddy said not to go downtown,"
"Like I said your free to go," Eliza said to Peggy
"But- look around, look around, the revolutions happening in New York!" Sang Angelica.
"New York!"
"Angelica,"
"WORK!"

"It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war,"
"People shouting in the square," Isabella said, looking down.
"It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore,"
"New ideas in the air!" Sang Angelica.
"Look around, look around-"
"Angelica remind me what we're looking for..." Isabella said,
"She's looking for me!" Two guys sang, out of nowhere.
"Isabella, I'm looking for a mind at work,"
"Work, work,"
"I'm lookin' for a mind at work!"
"Work, work,"
I'm looking lookin' for a mind at work!"
"Work, work,"
"WHOOOOAHHH! WHOOOOOOAHHH!" Sang Eliza and Angelica.
"Work!" Me and Peggy rang.

"Wooh! There's nothin' like summer in the city. Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty.
Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money.
Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels,
You searchin' for an urchin who can give give you ideals?" Aaron said, as he held Isabellas hand.
"Burr, you disgust me." She replied, walking away.
"Ah, so you've discussed me.
I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!" Isabella nudged her Angelica.

"I've been reading common sense from Thomas Paine.
Some men say that I'm intense or I'm insane.
You want a revolution, I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:

'We hold these truths to be self evident
That all men are created equal.'
And when we meet Thomas Jefferson,
Ah,
I'm 'a compel him to include women in the sequel!"

"WORK!"

Isabella's POV

We kept singing and dancing around. As we finished up, we went back to our carriage. I never enjoyed going around in the city with my sisters, especially since they talk A LOT about guys, but again, I need to fit in with my sisters. I flipped my dark brown soft curls off of my front and down to my back. My hair wasn't like Angelica's or Peggy's, my was straight and with soft curls. My hair was kinda like Eliza's. I was a light brown skin color and light brown eyes, which I enjoyed so much. I loved playing with my hair. But I most definitely liked it in a pony tail. But my hair only went up to my shoulders, which made my ponytail a little too short. I once did that, but my mom said that it doesn't suit me. So, I never wore ponytails around her. I only wore them when I feel comfortable doing so. The only cute hairstyle I could think of putting my hair in, was probably a small bun.

As soon as I knew it, the carriage stopped.

We arrived home.

"Lets get going, don't want mom yelling at us, again," Angelica joked. We all laughed.

"There you four are." Mom said, coming down the stair way.
"We only took an hour." Eliza said.
"It's almost sundown."
"Mom, were two hours early from sundown." Angelica said.
You could see where Peggy gets it,
"Where's your father?"
"He's staying there for a while." I said.
"Okay then..." mom said. She soon dismissed us.

All four of us laid down on my bed. It was now night and our dad had already came home safely. The three were talking while I was reading. Until they talked me into their conversation.
"Soooo Bella...." Angelica started.
"What," I said, putting my book down.
"Sooo....got your eyes on anyone?" Eliza asked.
"No. Why?" I replied.
"Well, there's going to be a winter ball soon, so hopefully we find some guys there." Angelica said, dreamily.
"You guys are boy crazy." I muttered, as I went back to reading.
"Sooner or later you'll have to find someone!" Eliza said.
"In your dreams." I said.
