Chapter 11: Of Days Together and Happiness

I felt the rays of the morning sun on my face. I slowly blinked my eyes then groaned. My head was in so much pain. Did I faint? I groaned again grabbing the side of my head as I remembered.

/FLASHBACK\\

He lifted his hand to my face and wiped my tears with his thumb. His eyes softened as he looked into my own eyes.

That emotion was mixed into his gaze. The one I can never read.

"I do not hate you, rather, I love you."

I blinked.

"Excuse me?"

Ciel smiled lightly.

"I love you, Maxine Blackwood."

Then I felt his lips on my own.

At that moment I realized the emotion...the unknown emotion that was so intensely placed in Ciel's eyes and soul...was...

/FLASHBACK ENDS\\

"...love?"

I tried to pull my hand up to wipe my eyes but it was being held down. I glanced to my left to see Ciel asleep. I smiled. His head was on my stomach and his hand gently held my own.

"C-Ciel?" I whispered looking at his face.

It seemed like that was the only time you could see Ciel that peaceful and unguarded.

"Ah, Miss Maxine, I see you're awake."

I looked up to see Sebastian walking into the room. He smirked as he motioned towards Ciel.

"The Young Master is quite taken with you..."

I watched him as he redressed the wound I got on my head after I fainted.

"What do you mean, Sebastian?"

He paused his movements and glanced at me.

"He has not left your side since we returned."

I stared at Ciel in shock.

"Ciel..." I mumbled while stroking Ciel's cheek.

Sebastian smirked and silently exited the room. I sat there for what seemed like hours. I gazed upon Ciel's sleeping face. He looked sp peaceful.

"Maxine?"

Ciel was waking up. He yawned cutely and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked at me and smiled.

"You're awake? How are you feeling?"

I just blinked as I watched him. This was a dream right?

"Ciel, was I dreaming?"

Ciel looked at me in confusion.

"What nonsense do you speak of now?" He asked as he sat on the bed.

I gazed around the room. Anywhere but at him. He gently held my chin between his fingers and turned me to face him.

"Are you alright, love? You're acting stranegly."

I blinked as I stared at his face. He seemed serene. However amazing this seemed, it still felt..unreal.

"Am I dreaming? That didn't really happen, right?"

Ciel just continued to smile.

"You silly girl." He mumbled.

He suddenly leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips. When he pulled back he held a smirk.

"Since we're going to be spending the rest of the afternoon together, I suggest you get dressed. I'll see you in my study as soon as you're finished."

He then stood up and walked over to the door. He stopped and turned to look at me. I still had a shocked and amazed look on my face. He smiled softly.

"I love you, my dear. I'll send Maylene."

I stared as he continued out the door and closed it behind him. I stared in amazement.

"Please don't be a dream.." I mumbled.

Ciel was truthful. We did spend the afternoon together. First, we ate lunch together. Then, he let me help him with his paperwork, asking my opinion and such. Now, he's taking me to town to shop. We were currently sitting in the carriage now.

"Are you excited, love?"

I looked up at him. Hearing him call me that gave me chills. The good kind of chills.

"I'm just happy you spent the day with me, Ciel." I said smiling softly.

He replied to the smile with one of his own.

"Why wouldn't I?"

I smiled and looked down at my hands. They were clasped together in my lap. A sudden thought accured to me.

"Um..Ciel?"

He looked at me.

"Yes, love?"

I cleared my throat and forced a calm expression o my face.

"What about Elizabeth? Aren't you engaged?"

Ciel smirked.

"Ah, that. Don't worry. I had Sebastian call this morning. I spoke with Elizabeth's mother. The engagement is called off."

I was amazed.

"And she just let you call it off? There wasn't even an arguement?"

Ciel chuckled.

"She was thrilled that her nephew found true happiness. She did put up a bit of a fuss, but Sebastian helped with that."

I sweatdropped.

"He didn't...seduce her...did he?"

Ciel smirked and raised a finger to his lips.

"That's our little secret, love. Nothing you need to concern yourself with."

I nodded and turned to look out the window of the carriage.

"The view is quite lovely."

Ciel roamed his eyes over my figure. He placed his hand on my knee.

"Mmm, it is quite lovely."

My eyes widen as I felt his hand stroke my leg through my dress.

"Ciel!" I exclaimed.

He chuckled as he kissed my forehead.

"Cute." He said as he stilled his hand.

"Really? Young Master did all of that?"

I nodded at Finny with a smile.

"Yes, he did! He even bought me this!" I said as I showed him a necklace.

The chain was made of white gold and had something like white gold vines wrapped around a heart shapped saphire diamond. Finny stared at it in amazement.

"Wha?"

I grinned.

"It's the same type of material his Phantomhive ring is made of! He's so thoughtful." I said starting to daydream about Ciel.

Finny chuckled.

"I'm glad you're happy, Miss Maxine."

I grinned at him once again.

"Thank you, Finny."

He nodded.

"Miss Maxine, the Young Master wishes to see you...again." Sebastian said from the back door of the manor.

"I nodded and stood up. I wiped off my dress to make sure I had no dirt, grass, etc. on me. I glanced at Finny with a blush.

"Do I look alright?"

Finny chuckled.

"You look beautiful, Miss Maxine."

I nodded and kissed his cheek.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Finny!"

I then ran towards the manor, excited to see Ciel.

Finny watched as Maxine ran into the manor. He had a sad smile.

"To be honest, Miss, I was hoping Young Master would never come to return your feelings. I wanted to be the one to make you forever happy. However, as long as you're happy, I'm happy."

He then stood slowly.

"Time to work..."

He then looked around at all the weeds. He anime cried.

Again, I'm extremely sorry! TT_TT
