I continued my paper work and when I was done I sent it over to the King for his review through my messenger.
Summer Valentine
I guess I have no other choice than to marry him.
A knock came on my room door.
"Come in"
I said and the lady called Linda came in with a dress.
"You can wear this, My Lady"
She said carefully putting the dress on the bed for Summer.
Summer was still finding it hard to believe that she had gone back in time. And now her life is in grave danger if she doesn't marry the white creature. She eventually gives up on tHe thought of going back home and trying to adjust to her new environment
Having her bath, she dresses up in a light silk dress and her dinner is brought in by another maid. After eating she slept off.
The next morning when Summer wakes up she finds herself in another room, a strong arm wrapped around her from behind.
Touching the arms it felt so strong and muscular.
She lightly turned her head to see who was keeping her in this tight spot, only to realize that she was in Trevor's arms.
"What am I doing here?" she began asking herself.
She tried pulling his hands off her waist to get off the bed. She felt so embarrassed, they weren't married, yet she was in his bed. She knew fully well she had slept in the room given to her. Still trying to get up, the arms around her pull her closer and she freezes.
She gently turns around with an angry expression, seeing how peaceful he looked in his sleep. Her face returned to normal within seconds of seeing his face.
She began to admire his beautiful face as she could no longer take her eyes off him. Seeing how close they were, she did not feel threatened as she had before. Her fingers began to move on their own very accord almost close to Trevor's face when his large hand grabbed hers and she flinched with a gasp. She gulped down her saliva and watched as Trevor's eyes fluttered open staring right into her soul.
His brow was furrowed, seeing it was Summer, his expression calmed down and he released her arm.
"What am I doing here?" Summer asked, demanding an answer.
"I was comfortable sleeping by your side, so I decided to carry you to my room while you were asleep" He said smiling.
His smile made Summer's heart to skip a bit. His smile knowing the impact he had on her.
He purposely pulled her closer to him, that their noses were an inch apart.
"We are getting married soon. Staying with you like this should not bring in problems. After all you will be my wife" he said with a smile across his face. He leaned in a bit more, while Summer held her breath. He pecked the top of her nose and pulled up from the bed.
"You can start preparing, we are going to get you your wedding dress" He said as he walked into the bathroom.
Summer was still in shock from what had happened, she was almost going crazy. She stood up from the bed and went out of Trevor's room
"Is he some sort of devil?" she asked herself
Maybe marrying him would not be a bad idea. She already knows what she feels but wants to deny it.
She gets to her room and already notices that her bath and dress for today has been folded neatly on the bed.
She got her dress down and entered the bathroom to enter her prepared bath.
Summer found herself relaxing in the hot bathtub she was in. Things weren't all the same as it was in 2023. She began to wonder if she was going to get back to 2023.
She relaxed her mind and closed her eyes, opening them back she began to use the Lavender soap that was kept for her.
"Smells nice," she says rubbing it on her skin gently. She washed herself and came out of the bathroom. She wiped her skin clean and walked over to where the dress was laid on the bed.
"Corset!!?" she almost screamed. How is she going to wear this? She has never worn a corset before. What is she going to do now?
She could hardly believe it, she had watched movies where girls wore a corset and they did that with the help of someone if she wasn't mistaken.
The corset she saw in 2023 looks way simpler than this one.
Trevor walked through the hallway of his mansion and came across Summer's room door. He could not stand it anymore and got into her room and teleported both of them to his room. She looked so peaceful in her sleep that he felt like holding her through the night. He had actually brought her to his room to do so. He felt so comfortable with her, after all they were mates.
He gently wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, he sniffed in her scent which comforted him. He closed his eyes drifting off to sleep.
He was still fast asleep when he felt like the lady in his arms was trying to get away; he pulled her closer to himself. He felt the arms that was about to touch his face, when he caught hold of the arm in time.
He saw how she flinched and he released her arm.
"What am I doing here?" she asked him. Of course he knew what he did and he replied her dryly
"I was comfortable with you, so I brought you to my room"
"You will become my wife soon no need to panic" he said making Summer look at him in disbelieve.
She could not believe her ears.
Telling her to get ready, that they would be leaving to go and get her wedding dress. He let her leave the room. He knew the amount of self control he had in other not to do anything to her last night.
Summer looked at the dress in disbelieve, how on earth did they expect her to wear this?
With the large towel wrapped around her tiny body she walked out of room.
"Hello?" she called, her voice echoing in the hall way. Of course those sharp eared vampire servants should have heard her by now.
She was almost entering her room when one of the servants of Trevor passed and asked her what she needed.
"My Lady, do you need anything?" The servant asked her
"Not really." She said given a light sigh.
"I don't know how to put on a corset. Can you assist me, at least?" she asked the servant.
Of course there was no way a mere servant was going to reject this, after all she would be their master's wife soon. The gossip has already spread far enough, that for the first time in centuries, their master has fallen in love.
"Yes My Lady" she answered bowing her head to Summer. Summer does not feel at ease with all of this but she pretends she is at ease.
The servant follows her to the room. Closing the door behind them, Summer takes the dress goes into the dressing room, and puts it on the way she can. She comes out and allows the servant to complete the rest
"Can you lose it a bit? Can't breathe" she says under a suffocated breath.
The servant who helps her get dressed loses it a bit.
"Perfect" Summer said giving an exhausted sigh.
The maid servant helps her to brush her hair.
"What is your name?" she asked the vampire who was so engrossed in brushing her hair.
"I'm forbidden to speak, my lady"
The Vampire spoke
"Huh!!!"
"Until I'm told to" the servant said bowing her head.
"Well, I asked a question, and I guess it should be answered because it requires you to speak. Summer said turning to look at the vampire.
For some reason she could see a spark of sadness in the servants eyes.
"Speak dear. Or did your master forbid you from speaking?"
The servant nods her head bowing to her.
"Don't worry about that. You can speak to me" Summer said in a calm tone.
"My name is Audrey" said the servant
"That is good. Now I want only you to serve me and no other. Okay?"
Summer says
"But I'm a vampire" Audrey says
"I'm well aware of that, besides I don't have anyone to keep me company and only one human servant in this whole mansion, I might end up losing my life if I don't speak to someone at least", she says
The maid Audrey bowed to Summer.
She has never lived this kind of life before, being sort of supreme in a foreign land. What else would happen to her now?
"Alright, let's go", Summer said holding part of the gown in her hands as she walked out the door with the maid following her.
Trevor is on his way to Summer's room to get her. Before getting to her door, she emerges from the room, he couldn't stop himself from staring at her. She looks so beautiful that he couldn't tear his eyes away from her.
"Good morning master Trevor" the maid greets, bowing her head to him.
"Good morning", Summer greets
"Alright. I guess you are ready"
"Yes, I am." Summer replies.
He leads her down the stairs with the maid trailing behind them.
Getting to his carriage, he offered his hand to Summer, she took his hand with a dashing smile on her face and got in.
"I appointed her as my personal maid, can she come with me?" Summer asked with a pleading look on her face
"Yes, she won't be staying in this carriage though" He replied
"Okay" Summer said and given the maid a smile and a go ahead nod she left to the other carriage.
Once they were settled in, the carriage began to move, this Summer did not expect so soon had almost falling off from her seat when Trevor caught hold of her from her arm.
"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly
"Of course not. Did not even get informed before your damn carriage began to move" She said sounding pissed as she shrugged herself out of his arms.
"Sorry Summer" He apologized sincerely.
Summer froze knowing that that this was the very first time he had ever called her name and he did sound sincere. She had never told him her name, how is it that he already know?
Trevor clearing his throat bring her back from her daze
She had been staring at him for quite sometime now and it was a look as if trying to figure out something.
She immediately turned her head away to the other side of the Carriage to avoid his gaze.
The long journey was such a quiet and peaceful one as they got to their destination.
Getting down from his carriage he supports Summer out of the carriage.
"We are here" he says.
Summer eyes searches everywhere, she really felt weird because this was hardly what she expected. The maid she brought with her also came down from the carriage and stood behind them.
"Let's go", Trevor said as he held her hands and began walking towards the stores.
Summer felt her cheek burn up, people had their eyes on them so of course it will be right to be embarrassed.
Not able to shrug her hands out of Trevor's, she follows him quietly.
He stopped in front of a shop with beautiful colour of linens and dresses.
A young looking man steps up, opening the door and letting them in.
"Welcome, Master Trevor. It is really good to have you here once again"
The young man spoke up greeting him and then his eyes wondered down to the hand that was attached to the young lady
"Pardon my manners, Greetings" he said bowing his head.
"Drop the formalities Thomas" Trevor said with a smile on his face.
And Thomas returned the smile
"Good to see you though"
"I came for wedding dresses" Trevor said.
Summer found a way to slip her hands out of his and that gave her peace.
"You are getting married?" Thomas ask with his eyes wide open
"Yes Thomas"
"You must be joking, when did you get to fall in love" Thomas asks, his laugh echoing after his words.
"Just shut up and do your job silly" Trevor said rolling his eyes at Thomas.
"I'm happy for you man, Congratulations" he said.
