A Few Glasses of Wine

"except for him"

Louis's POV

It was about 6 in the morning and I had gotten up to wake up Albert. He went to Myron L/n's birthday party last night and he came back very late but he had things to do this morning. I gently knocked on the door to his room. I didn't receive a response so I knocked again. I was starting to get concerned so I opened the door and went in.

"Albert, you have to get up" I spoke a little louder than usual.

I saw him shifting positions from under the covers.

"Albert!" I pulled the covers off of him.

I soon regretted my actions when I realized he was in bed with an undressed woman.

"Goodness gracious! What have you done!" I yelped before quickly leaving the room.

Y/n's POV

I was awoken by the sound of a slightly upset man yelling about something. I arose from my bed and soon realized that I wasn't home. My head was throbbing in pain it was probably from the wine I drank last night. I looked around and saw a man with brown hair lying next to me.

Oh dear!  I thought to myself.

I don't even remember half of what happened last night. I just remember this man's green eyes looking into mine. I've never felt so stupid in all my life. I got drunk at my father's birthday party and slept with Lord Moriarty when I was arranged to get married to someone else. I frantically got out of the bed and then realized that my clothes were on the other side of the room. I put my hand on my forehead because I didn't know what to do.

"umm Ms. L/n, you can wear this for now, I'll drop you off home" Albert sat up on his bed and had his robe in his hand. "I'm sorry about all of this" I apologized to him. "No I should be the one apologizing. I don't know what I was thinking. Sharing a drink with you, I don't know when to stop" Albert smiled at me. "Well if it makes you feel any better, we both screwed up" I said to him while trying to slip on my undergarments. "Oh your screw up can't be that bad" he tried to make me feel better. "My father arranged me to marry another man and I haven't even met him yet" I said trying to put on my dress from last night. "Okay that is a problem, but I can get you back home without anyone knowing you were gone" Albert said to me. "I will take that offer right now" I said to him.

I gave up on trying to get the dress on properly so I used Albert's robe to cover my back.

"Follow me" Albert had finished changing into his clothes and gently held onto my hand.

We walked out of his room and went walked down a hall.

"Wait here" he ordered me.

He went into another room and came out a few minutes later.

"Let's go" he whispered.

When we got outside there was a carriage waiting for us. Albert opened the door for me and I hopped in. He then followed me in.

"I'm guessing that your parents are most likely still sleeping" Albert said to me. "Timothy'll be up" I said to him. "Oh I forgot about him" Albert admitted to me.

Timothy was my younger brother but we were polar opposites. We somehow always got along though, he would've known if I was gone.

"He'll know that I left" I told Albert. "Okay I have a plan" Albert said to me. "It better be good cause he's my other half" I warned him. "No pressure right?" Albert spoke nervously. "My bad" I said to him. "Okay so he might be still in his room, you can get in through one of the guest rooms but it'll be hard" Albert explained my options. "I'll just go in from my room's window, if Timothy's up it won't be a big deal" I explained to Albert before hopping out of the carriage. "Oh and thank you for everything Albert, this never happened" I smiled before running towards my father's home.

I ran to my room's window and thought about how I was going to get in. It was on the second floor of my house which was a little problematic in this situation. I had to climb a bush and then jump onto my mini balcony. I climbed up a bit and pushed the window open. I jumped into my room but fell onto my face.

"Shit" I whispered under my breath.

I got up and saw my door open which was weird because I usually leave my door closed. The door was pushed closed and behind the door was my younger brother.

"So where did you run off to?" he asked me. "None of your business" I didn't even question why he was there. "Which one was it?" he asked me, I knew that he knew. "The oldest one, Albert. Whatever you do, don't tell mum and dad" I said to Timothy. "Your secret's safe with me" he replied to me. "Thank god" I said.

Albert's POV

When I got back home, I was greeted by William. He looked a little upset about something.

"How was the party last night?" he asked me. "It was nice Myron looked really happy" I replied to him. "Was anyone here this morning?" he continued with the questions. "Louis! I told you not to say anything" I spoke to my youngest brother. "I didn't say anything" he quickly replied to me. "It was his daughter" I let out a sigh. "Y/n?" Will asked me. "What other daughter does he have?" I asked him a little pissed off. "She's getting married you knucklehead!" William and Louis said in unison. "...so you both knew?" I asked.

William looked at me with disappointment in his face. I had forgotten that he was friends with Timothy.

A week later Y/n's POV

I was sitting down at the table eating dinner but I spaced out while thinking about Albert. He was just something else, a one of a kind.

"Y/n my dear, are you okay you're quite red" My mother spoke very concerned. "Oh no I'm fine just a little tired" I smiled at her.

Timothy looked at me as if he read my mind.

You are horrible he mouthed to me. So are you I mouthed back.

Whatever I did, I couldn't forget about Albert, I somehow was able to forget everything except for him.
