Bloody Mary

King Boo

I wake up to knocking at my door.

"Your Majesty? I have some breakfast here for you." It's Jane.

"Yes, please come in." I sit up and yawn.

"Good morning, Your Majesty!" Jane seems even more cheerful than usual. "Today we have the usual: buttered toast, bacon, two over easy eggs, and some coffee." She smiles, putting the plate and cup down on the bedside table. "I also noticed these letters left on your desk from two days ago..."

"I completely forgot about those." I groan to myself. I really need to burn those before I get second thoughts.

"Sire, I couldn't help but recognize the handwriting... Are these letters from Luciel?" She holds up the stack of letters now tied up with red string.

"Unfortunately, they are." I sigh. "The one that was opened was the first one that was sent. She has the gall to ask for forgiveness for what she has done and wishes for us to become a couple again." I say with a hint of disgust.

"Incredible... the nerve of that woman" Jane shakes her head.

"You can go ahead and do what you want with those letters. I don't want to see them at all."

"Alright, Sire. I think I have a few ideas. Will that be all?"

"No, actually." I smile. "You see, Y/N and I ran into each other last night and started talking."

"About what, Sire?"

"About that poor garden outside our balconies. Y/N has a few ideas to fix it and I was thinking that we can get started on it today, after my duties are fulfilled of course." I stand and walk to the small desk next to my closet, picking up the list of night flowers that Y/N mentioned last night. "Would you please get someone to get seeds for these flowers from the Haunted Towers?"

"I'd be happy to, Your Majesty." Jane takes the list from me. "I'll get right on it. Will that be all?"

"Yes. Thank you very much, Jane." I pick up the toast.

"Have a good morning, Your Majesty." Jane bows and walks out the door, closing it on her way out.

I take a bite of my toast, still trying to wake up, and I look towards my desk. The types of flowers wasn't the only thing I wrote down last night. I pick up the little paragraph that I wrote and read it over. I am almost shocked with what I read, and wrote for that matter. On the page is a detailed description of Y/N's face. Everything from her hair down to her neck. All of her beauty marks and dimples, the little scar on her cheek, what colour her iris' are, and how soft her skin is to the touch.

"What am I doing..?" I whisper to myself. I can't seem to get this woman off my mind. "Think, Boo, Think. Why are you thinking about her so much?"

She is naturally kind, despite her fear of Boocifer and Boodini she rushed to help them. Her injuries didn't stop her either, so she is very persistent and a little stubborn. She isn't afraid to stand up for herself. And she is absolutely radiant. I slap my hand to my face, feeling my cheeks flare up. "No, no, no. Stop it!"

I shake my head as I take the book that I was reading earlier and beckon the plate of food and coffee to me. I sit down at my desk, sipping the coffee. Jane, you sly dog. You put Deadly Night Shade in this too. I smile. I turn to the page holding my book mark and start reading, while eating my breakfast.

It must have been around half an hour when I look to the clock. 7:30. I'd say that's enough leisure time for now. I stand up and look down at my empty plate and cup, placing the bookmark in it's new place. I turn towards my closet and beckon a clean suit to me. Closing the curtain, I start to take off my shirt. I quickly change into my new suit and just as I finish, there is another knock at the door.
