chapter 11 : The effects of a death foot witholder called heels

Staring right back at me was a woman I haven't seen in a long time.a woman that only came out a couple of years ago  on nights she had no other choice.i could barely recognise myself with this new change especially with all this make up attire 'what's it called--err manscarer  thingy or was it manscara  hmm i could have sworn she said something of that sort' well it made my already long lashed longer and my eyes wider. I had been put on a death foot witholder called  heels against my will but now that I think about it I have the perfect use in mind. The dress is much fancy.it is a lacy dark blue gown which left enough of my generous Bossom in view due to the fact that it's hand  falls off my slender shoulders.the bodice of the gown is really good I must say.it would have cost alot.im just hoping for this night to be over with because I'm sure I am not destined to enjoy any part of it.
My slightly brown and auburn hair was done in a loose bun with some part of it cascading down my shoulders.
A few hours after sir stone face left, a few maids brought dresses shoes and accessories to go.they did a pretty good job i must say.

"What the-"

I turn around to see sir stone face 
Watch me stare at myself in the mirror.gratious heavens I am married to a creep.

"Thank you for invading my privacy and an unauthorized entrance into my room"

"You are very much welcome"

I rolled my eyes.i cant believe this man

"what if I was not properly dressed or worst naked"

"You have nothing I haven't seen yet and besides I would have shielded my eyes from such a provoking view" the nerve of him!

"You twaddler"

"I believe I speak only the truth,miss 'no nonsense' involved"

"Haha very funny"

"I find your taste of humour quite amusing"

His words said one thing,his eyes said another,he was practicing undressing me with his eyes for all I know.all the while we bantered his eyes never left my body  Even for a bit.and he is here saying me naked will be a provoking sight.blast him to Hades.

"I have absolutely nothing to say to you" I said after my long glare.only then did I realise how beautiful he really was.dark blue was a great colour on him.he- holy Hitler did he just smile.
Who knew he actually had facial muscles and could use it,he should smile alot often

"This is our first public outing together.remember, your name is Jessica Monroe, you are to be sophiscated."

"Aye"

"Are you ready?"

"Yes I am." And with that, I  reached for my hand fan and parasol before letting him lead me out of the room.

We got on a gold and black carriage. As usual the ride was filled with silence.me thinking of what had become of my life and him errr doing whatever he was doing.not long, the carriage arrived at a large wine coloured mansion. Sir Hale stepped out of the carriage and waited while I gratiously sat in watching him wait in front of the carriage with a smile on my face..well this is something I could get used to.he glared back at me and I just gave him my innocent clueless look. Five minutes after, i got bored of sitting so I just let the chauffeur help me out and lead me to where my dearest partner stood.

"You are going to regret making me wait"
He whispered

"What is that you said my dear?"
I questioned loud enough for the couple beside us to hear.

"Nothing Jessica"
He replied with a grimace on his face I tried my best to contain my laughter.i take back what i said earlier. I am sooo going to enjoy this night.

Some women are just the worst.they would do anything and I mean anything just to get a juicy gossip. Right now, I stood in front of a rather brief middle aged woman asking me if I had marital issues and what my take was on it.she even got to the extent of asking me if I'm pregnant yet and how sir stone face treats me. Of course I just smiled and told her I had a perfect marriage. All these lying is making me hungry.

"Would you excuse me for a second miss"

"Well sure but remember if you have any problems I am always here for you darling"she called out

Sure you areeeee.to distribute the gossip !. I moved toward the buffet table.my long lost love in view.

"Well hello dear lovely solid chocolate" I took a bite and it was glorious..I proceeded to stuff  the rest in my mouth, mentally tossing sir stone faces advice to act sophisticated through the window

"Save the rest for the other guests would you"I dropped a piece of my chocolate on the floor due to shock, turning around I was surprised to see sir Hale standing there.

"I thought you were out talking business and socialising "i said totally ignoring his comment and mourning my chocolate on the floor.

"I got hungry and it would be a little suspicious if I am not seen talking to my wife don't you think" he popped a piece of solid chocolate in his mouth as well.i never knew there was an attractive way to eat solid chocolates until today.

"Me thinks you just miss my wonderful company"

"Me thinks you dream alot"

I decided to ignore him once again and reached for more chocolate.they could bury me in this thing.

"May I have this  dance?"

I looked around for where the request came from and turned back to my chocolate when I saw only sir stone face looking at me

"I do not take rejection very likely"

"Ohh where you the gentleman asking?"

"Yes"

"Well then I am busy yo-"before I got a chance to complete my sentence, he half dragged half led me to the dance floor

"What are you doing"

"For someone I assume to be smart you ask alot of dumb questions.it is called dancing miss xavier"

"Unhand me you-

"Calm down! I have to be seen dancing with you at least once.this is the first dance so it carries alot of weight."

"Oh"
The music was slow and I may or may not have stumped on sir stone faces feet a couple of times to get revenge. What surprised me was he did not say anything about it.not Even once.

Stump!

"I could swear you are doing this on purpose"

"By all means what do you mean"
I put my most innocent face on.if he was in pain, he did a perfect job hiding it.

Stump!

"I suppose you can't dance"

"Oh dear what was my give away"I tried my best to contain my laughter

"A lucky guess"

Stump!

"You don't say! well you are right, I can't dance"

"How spiffing"

Not Long after, the first dance ended.we had talked,argued,argued some more and decided we were both hungry.we were eating at the buffet table when the announcement for the second dance came in.
"Do you mind If I dance with  your partner for a little while?"

A tall blond man drew our attention, he was really pleasant on the eyes.he had this dangerous,edgy vibe that drew women close and I guess I'm female aren't I.
Sir stone face seemed to hesitate a little before Letting me go

"No I don't"
