Chapter 12

After the dance, we bowed and everyone applaud us then we walked over to the punch bowl. Once we got there, master was about to say something, but some old man walked to us and said," Mr. Walkerson, may I talk to you a lone about the stall markets?" Master nodded then said," We aren't finished talking about this." I waited until he walked away before I took a small drink of punch. As I drunk it, Taylor came up to me. I smiled then he said," May we talk alone?" I nodded then he led us up the stairs and down a hall.

He opened the door for me and I saw it was a study. I sat down in a chair and he shut the door behind him then sat down beside me. "So, how is it like being Jax Walkerson's fiancé?" I smiled shyly then said,"... It's fine thank you for asking." He leaned back in his chair then said,"... I see. When did you and him meet?" I took in a breathe then made up something," We met two springs ago at the cherry blossom park. It was love at first sight." He nodded then said," The cherry blossoms are beautiful that time of year..." I could tell something more was on his mind. I didn't know what, but I'm going to find out.

I took a sip of tea that he made then put it back down on a tiny china bowl. " Does he... Does he abuse you?", that question shocked me. What is he playing towards? I shook my head no then said," He is as sweet as could be. I love him." He frowned then stood up and said," Could you ever see yourself with someone else?"

"Like?", I said curiously. He blushed a little then leaned close to me until our faces were inches apart then he said," Like... Me?"
