Chapter Two
Time flew by as I do not recall how long that moment endured. My trance was broken when she began to speak. “I have not known you but for a moment and you come and comfort me.” Slowly she retreated from my embrace. “Why?” I held my breath for I myself did not know the reason as to why. We stood there in silence when Celia finally spoke again. “It’s not to say that I minded. In fact, I feel much more relieved. To whom should I give my gratitude?” A smile played across my lips as I introduced myself. “Daughter of Sir Julian and Lady Helena Monlentio, my name is Liere.” A smile appeared on her face and oh how it made my heart melt so. “Liere is a beautiful name.” I felt my heart skip a beat at the mentioning of those words.
“Come with me.” I heard her say. Celia took my hand in hers as she led me upstairs to yet another door. She turned to me and said, “This is mine.” She opened the door to reveal an extravagant room decorated in whites and golds. We both took a seat on her bed and looked at each other. “Care to tell me about yourself?” I asked her. Her lips started to move but I heard no words as I was concentrating on how smooth and rosy her lips were. They stopped moving and then moved again but this time I heard her say, “And you?” At first my mind did not make the connection. My only response was a confused noise. Then she asked again. “Liere, what about yourself?” I moved closer to her, closing the gap and said, “All my interests are on you now.” Then the distance between my lips and hers was gone when I felt the warm tenderness of her lips on mine own. To my surprise she kissed me back. The gentle beginning of the kiss was soon replaced with more passion. Her lips parted and I took the opportunity to explore her mouth. Our tongues met and played a game of cat and mouse as I laid the sweet Celia down on her back. I started nipping at her neck as I caressed her stomach from the outside of her gown. Her small moans made me even hotter as I enjoyed every minute of it.
It was to the point where I wanted to rip off her gown to touch her every fiber of her soft flesh when a knock was heard at the door. “Celia, are you inside?” A familiar voice was standing outside the door. We quickly broke apart and straightened ourselves. “Yes mother.” I heard Celia say. The door opened and the lady of the house stepped inside. A wave of relief spread across her face when she saw me. “I was going to ask if you have seen the Monlentio’s daughter but I see the two of you have been acquainting yourselves.” A blush appeared on Celia’s face and one on mine as we have more than “acquainted” ourselves. Lady Montse spoke again. “Sir Julian and Lady Helena are ready to depart as the feast has long been over. I shall tell them that you will be coming soon.” With that she left.
I rose to my feet and shifted my gaze to the angel beside me. She gave me a soft smile and said, “I hope to see you soon.” I held her hand once again and kissed it. “I have a feeling we will.”
I made my way down the staircase to find my father and mother making light conversation with the lord and lady of the estate. “Ah, Andres it seems we will have to continue this another time as my daughter is here.” “Oh I see, I bid you farewell then good Julian. Keep in mind that I will come to visit the day after morrow. I’m sure my daughter will be delighted to have someone to talk to as she does not have any young companions.” I saw a smile appear on Lady Montse’s face at the mentioning of the visit. “We will be delighted.” I heard my mother say in a cheery tone.
Before exiting the estate I turned my head to take one last glance inside to see the beautiful Celia at the top of the staircase looking straight into my eyes. I smiled one last time and made my way to the carriage. The trip home was made in silence as father and mother were exhausted from the nights feast. I let myself daydream of the lovely Celia. I snapped out of my dreaming when I realized we arrived at our estate. Once inside I made my up the staircase to my chamber and leapt onto my bed. I hugged my pillow and smiled for the longest until I let the grasps of sleep pull me under. I awoke in the middle of the night from a dreamless slumber. Unable to sleep I sat up in my bed and stared at the deep redwood wall for what seemed like ages. Feeling my eyelids fall heavy I stood up to look outside my window before going back to bed. Outside I saw a female figure in the courtyard. Under the moon light it appeared to resemble Lady Montse. Before I could even let shock take over I felt myself yawn. Rubbing my eyes I went back to look outside but saw no one. I shook it off as my imagination and went back to bed.
I woke up the next morning from a wonderful dream. It was, of course, about the lovely Celia. It took place right before the interruption between us. This time, in my dream, there was no one to stop us. My hand left her stomach and traveled up her the length of her arm. I felt a shiver coming from her as I did this. My hand traveled upwards more to her right shoulder. I took both my hands and hooked my fingers under where her shoulders met her dress and began to slowly shed her of the clothing. She sat up and pulled down my dress as well leaving us both in our undergarments. I climbed on top of the beauty and we continued our passionate kissing. I slipped my hand under to knead at her soft breasts, her nipples hardening at my touch. A gasp escaped her mouth but was quickly replaced by a soft, delightful moan. I started to trail kissed down her stomach when sadly I awoke from my dreaming.
A sigh made its way between my lips as I thought back to what could have happened. Then I smiled at the thought of her visiting tomorrow. I couldn’t hold my excitement any longer and jumped out of my bed. At that very moment Eva knocked and entered. “Your bath is ready Liere.” She looked up at me and smiled. “You look very excited today.” “Ah Eva, there are a multitude of reasons as to my excitement. I only wish the day would go by soon so as tomorrow may come.” “Why do you not just sleep the day today as you normally do to make the day go by sooner?” “I would if I could Eva. My joy will just keep me up.”
Skipping down the hall to the wash room I took my bath. The steaming water was soothing to my body and mind. Even after speaking to Eva about my inability to sleep today, I found myself drifting off. It felt so good. It was only after I felt my breath was taken away did I wake to find myself submerged in the bath water. Feeling I had enough, I reemerged from the tub and dried off with a towel. I walked back to my room and put on a simple dress. Downstairs my mother was waiting for me at the breakfast table. “I was wondering if you’d ever get up. Good thing I had Eva reassure me that you would be joining us this lovely morning.” A smile graced my lips as I said, “Something has kept me up.” I sat down at the table in front of my mother and began to eat breakfast. The meal was simple. It was an egg and noodle soup and some bread at the side. When I finished eating I looked up to notice my father was missing from the table. “Where’s father?” I asked. My mother shifted in her seat as if uncomfortable and said, “He went out.” “How long will he be out?” “A month.” My mother’s eyes rested on the untouched soup in front of her. I was alarmed to hear the news. I was worried that a certain someone would not be able to come now that my father will be gone. “We have guests for tomorrow! Will they have to postpone the visit?” “No, no, no my dear. Julian and Andres are going together; he will come tomorrow to leave his wife and daughter in our care. Your father went to get a head start. You know how friends act.” A feeling of relief washed over me and was immediately replaced with joy. I stood up and turned to my mother. “I think I’ll go sleep now. I feel tired.” As I turned to go upstairs I felt my eyelids getting heavy and starting to droop. I barely took two steps when I felt I collapsed. My eyes closed, with no strength to move I fell asleep. Maybe it was a good thing because I remember when I woke up I felt a warn hand on my cheek and those honey-gold eyes looking at my own brown eyes.
She smiled. “Good morning.”
