From the Tea Shop ~ Ciel X Reader

Chapter 19 - The day out with Lizzy

~Michelle's P.O.V~

"Michelle, this is the Earl Alois Trancy." (F/N) said to me. 'Wow! (F/N) has a lot of friends that are Earls! Boys that is.'

"It's a pleasure to meet you Earl Trancy!" I replied curtsying. Well, what I did to try to curtsey. I mean I am pregnant so it was a little hard.

"Thank you! Call me Alois!" He replied.

"Sure thing, Alois." I said.

"Come on, let me get you some tea." I said Gesturing them to follow me. They did and they sat down by the counter and I got the water ready.

"Do you like anything specific Alois?" I asked.

"Thai Tea and Ginger!" Alois replied. I nodded and prepared that for them. I gave (F/N) and Alois their teas and left to go talk with Louis. He was in the kitchen doing some stuff with the teas.

"Honey, isn't this great! By the time we know it, she'll get a boyfriend!" I exclaimed quietly enough so that only Louis could hear.

"That's bittersweet. She has been spending more time away from us. I miss her sometimes." Louis replied. I gave a little laugh.

"She's like our own daughter. I love her so much!" I said hugging his arm.

"Me too, but pretty soon we'll have our own son." Louis said to me.

"Yeah."

~Time Skip, Reader's P.O.V~

"Bye Alois! See you next week!" I said as I waved him goodbye.

"Bye (F/N)!" He said as he stuck his face out the window. After he left I went back inside to help Michelle and Lou.

"How was the weekend over at Alois'?" Michelle asked.

"It was an interesting experience." I replied as I sat on the chair next to her.

"What did you do?" She asked.

"Well.. Let's just say it was an interesting experience." I replied.

"Oh (F/N)! It's almost Ciel's birthday! I forgot to tell you!" She said out of nowhere.

"What? When is it?" I asked.

"December 14."

"MIchelle! That's in two days!"

"Are you going to get him something?"

"I guess.. But what does he even like?"

"Just get something you think he'll like."

I sighed. There was already so much going on. Christmas and Ciel's Birthday were coming up soon. 'What does Ciel like?' I thought. 'Maybe.. A ring? I mean he wears rings. But what if he doesn't like the ring i buy?!' Too many thoughts were going into my head that night.

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

"(F/N)?"

"(F/N)?"

"(F/N)!"

"WAHH!" I screamed as I woke up from somebody screaming my name. I looked over and saw a girl.

"Good Morning (F/N)!" Lizzy said.

"Goodness sakes Lizzy. Who let you in? You gave me a heart attack." I said breathing heavily.

"I wanted to go shopping for Ciel's birthday. You wanna join me?" She asked.

"Uh, sure. Let me go get ready first." I said. Lizzy just sat there and nodded. I waited for her to leave.

"Umm.. Are you going to leave? I gotta change." I told her.

"(F/N), we're girls. Don't be shy!" Lizzy joked. I sighed. I pulled out a beige dress that was slightly poofy and that went down below my knees. I wore it and put in a low side ponytail that was curled.

"Okay, ready." I said as I grabbed my purse.

"Does Michelle know?" I asked.

"Yup! I asked her before I came in. Then she let me in." Lizzy said.

"O-okay then."

We walked to town together and looked around for stuff we thought Ciel liked. Nothing really caught my eye for him. Lizzy kept getting caught stuck on the dresses. I had to pull her out because she loved them too much.

"Lizzy! Not today!" I said dragging her out of the store.

"But it's so pretty!" She cried.

"Noo!!" I yelled as we got out of the store. She was pouting. I sighed.

"Come on,. let's go visit Ren since we're already here." I said.

"Okay!" Lizzy exclaimed. We soon got to Ren's bakery.

"Hi Lizzy! I missed you!" Ren said from behind the counter.

"I missed you too Ren!" Lizzy said as they hugged. It was cute.

"Hey (F/N)!" Ren said.

"What's up." I replied sitting down. Later Ren gave us some drinks and we talked.

"Oh Lizzy, what are you going to get Ciel?" I asked.

"A cute suit! His suits or so boring and bland!" She said. I laughed.

"How about you?" She asked.

"Uhh.. I don't know." I replied.

"What?! You don't know?! Come on we have to keep looking!" Lizzy screamed as she dragged me out of the store.

"See you later Ren!" Lizzy said as we were out of the store. Soon she stopped running and we were walking next to eachother.

"So you really don't have anything in mind?" Lizzy asked me.

"Well, I was planning on a ring. But Ciel doesn't like rings does he?" I asked looking at the ground as I was walking.

"I'm sure he won't mind!" Lizzy replied. I looked up at her.

"You think so?"

"Yep! Come on let's go to a jewelry shop!" Lizzy replied.

We got to a jewelry shop and we looked around. Nothing really screamed 'Ciel'. But I saw a mood ring. I think he'll like this. It was kinda girly but since Ciel doesn't show his emotions maybe this will help me. I bought the ring and put it in my purse. Later we went to another shop where Lizzy bought Ciel a suit. We were walking back to the shop until somebody took Lizzy's bag with Ciel's suit.

"Ahh, my present!" She screamed. She looked devastated. I ran after the person and I eventually caught up. I was physically trained because my grandma trained me before I was kicked out.

"Hey! Give me that back!" I yelled. The person looked back but they kept running. We ran into town and everybody was screaming and they moved out of the way. The thief pushed boxes and barrels into my way but I would avoid them pretty good. I was starting to get ticked off.

"I said.. GIVE ME THAT BACK!" I yelled as I jumped and kicked the person on the back which made them trip and fall. I ran tied their hands with a rope from a box. I took the bag and took the mask off the thief.

"You don't steal from young girls like me and my friend. think before you do something like that again." I said to the man underneath the mask. I threw the mask on the floor and the police came and took him away soon after that. People were looking at me with surprised and shocked looks. It was.. weird. Lizzy soon came towards me and was panting and out of breath.

"Thank you so much (F/N)! I was so worried!" Lizzy said hugging me.

"Anything for a friend."
