Crunch, Crunch, Crunch... The leaves crush under Angelina's feet as she walks through the garden of the Montague Manor. She smiles to herself as she feels the crisp air whipping her black locks around her face. The autumn smell of falling leaves began to set in not too long ago. The horizon's colors become a mystifying mixture of gold, orange and reds ,each second becoming more vivid and shone even brighter in their splendor. She walks to the miniature lake musing on the interesting affect of the waters ripples. It seem like just yesterday she came here in this garden for the first time discovering it's captivating beauty. She sits down of the side of the lake, dipping the tips of her fingers inside. She swishes around a bit to create more beautiful water currents. After of being in the garden a little too long for her taste ,which doesn't happen often but it happens, She decides to go inside. Her light cream dress swished harshly as she walked caressing her calves. It looks like her mothers words have proved to be true ,"every cloud has a silver lining".
Upon walking through the grand doors of her home she suddenly hears a booming voice from upstairs. "Where is that silly girl? Don't tell me she is in the garden again lounging around. Fetch her at once!" All of the sudden, a houself comes running down the stairs in urgency so fast he was nearly falling over himself. "Miss! Miss!" She smiles at the sight of the small creature and squats down to eye level with him so he could speak to her. "Yes Floppy.." "Madam Montague wishes to speak with you." Angelina clicks her tongue and rolls her eyes. "Is she angry?" Angelina asks dreading the answer. The houself nervously wrinkled it's tattered shirt. "I'm afraid so Miss." She raises from her squatting position. "Thank you floppy.." She said while patting him on the head. He smiled graciously at her while touching the spot wear her hand was in awe. Not a second after that he ran clumsily to the kitchen to tell his friends of the honor he has received. Angelina walks up the doubled spiral marble staircase extremely slow. Hoping some fatal event would befall her before she could reach the top. Or better yet the old hag could drop dead from old age. Angelina shook her head and momentarily chastised herself for that evil and immoral wish that had graced her mind. Finally the last step. She walked down the hall with large portraits and pictures which told the storyline of each Montague family generation. Finally upon reaching her step mothers room , she brushed the sides of her already neat hair and straightened her wrinkles dress out of habit. Finally she enters the room. "Come here girl." Angelina silently closes the door ,then walks over to where the older woman was. Angelina nervously shifted weight on her feet as a more comfortable stance. "Stand up straight! Have you no respect?" She folded her hands in front of her formally and immediately straightens her back. "Where is my son? He hasn't been home in a days." "I don't know he didn't give me any word of where he went or why he went. I just..." She scoffed and made an noise deep in her throat to show her annoyance. "Hold your tongue if you only have excuses! Now are you not making him happy?" "Well Miss I do not talk back ,and I am obedient." "No child, I mean are you not making him happy in the bed?" Angelina blushed and stammered trying to find words that would satisfy her step mother. "I.. we...um..well" "Speak up I asked you a question." "We haven't laid together yet." For a second the old woman was momentarily stunned. "What did you say?" Sure she had heard her wrong. "We haven't laid together yet." "Tweleve months and you haven't laid with him yet?" Angelina shook her head in embarrassment. "Insolent girl, you are a foolish one! How do you expect to bare an heir if you don't lay with him?" She looked down at the floor as if she was a child being scolded. Finally taking a deep breathe to calm herself down the older woman dismissed her. "Get out of my sight." With that Angelina exited the room. She went inside her and her husband's room, and searched they're closet for something suitable to wear just in case he does come home today. She pulled out a red silk night gown with a scandalously low dip in the front. After her warm exhilarating shower she slipped her piece on. She walked over to her full length mirror. "Well Angel look like a whole knew person." She walked over to the bed and she sat, she sat for hours anticipating her husbands arrival. No one came through the door ,No man was standing before her with lust in his eyes. Even though she was not in love she had always fantasized about her first time. Finally when she was ready no one was there. "David.." She groaned "Where are you?" she said falling on her back. After a couple of minuets sleep took over her.
