It had been a couple of days since the heated moment I shared with Jon, my heart ached for another kiss. I still couldn't believe what had happened, I kissed Jon snow, a bastard of the north. I hadn't seen Jon since it happened, I don't know what hurt me more, the fact that he would kiss me and then ignore me, of the fact that he only sent ghost around to check on me. As much as I love the wolf, I would like to see Jon with him. Ghost had been following me around for the last few days, into my chambers with me, into the markets with me, growling at every man that looked at me.
I was walking around Margaery's room trying my hardest to listen to her but my head was somewhere else.
"Violet!" She snapped at me causing me to jump a little. "Are you listening to me?"
"Sorry sister, my head was elsewhere" I sighed giving her an apologetic smile.
"As I was saying, Ned will be having a dinner tonight filled with dancing, eating, drinking and laughing, as a final goodbye to us Tyrells" she said while rummaging through her draws to find something to wear for tonight.
"You mean the Tyrells, except for me" I shifted looking towards the ground. If I was to stay here in Winterfell I'm going to miss my family so much, I'm rarely every without Margaery I don't know how I'll cope. The thought of being alone here saddened me though maybe I could grow to love the cold.
"Oh Violet" she took me into her arms, and squeezed me tightly. "We don't know if you'll be staying or not, it'll be announced tonight, please try not to worry" I felt her hand stroke my back as she pressed her lips against my head. "Now will you please find a dress to wear tonight?" She gave me one last rub on the back and walked over to the dresser to continue the search for a dress. I walked over and stood with her to look through her drawers.
"How about this one?" I pulled out a long, light blue dress with gold detailing on the chest. Around the waist it had a gold rose that wove around her waist. It was a beautiful dress and I knew she would look just as beautiful in it. "It may be cold but the dining hall will be warm and you will be dancing" I smiled at her.
"Oh it's perfect violet, I love it" she took the dress from my hands and danced around with it pressed to her chest. I giggled at her as she danced. Oh how I was going to miss this. I sighed causing Margaery to look up at me. "How about we find you a dress little sister?" She turned to look through the dresser.
"I'm not sure if I'll be attending tonight Margaery, I don't think I'm feeling up to it" I signed and sat down on the bed.
"Oh don't be stupid violet, of course you're coming, we are going to dance the night away" she giggled turning to face me holding a bright red dress, the top of the dress was Lacey and beautiful, it had long Lacey sleeves which was going to be perfect for the cold weather.
"Oh sister, it's beautiful, I love it!" I squealed. The next few hours were spent bonding in Margaerys room, the handmaidens tending to our hair, we both had our hair lightly curled down our backs.
"It's almost time to head to the dining hall violet" she looked up at me as she slipped her dress on over her head. She looked beautiful, everything about her was perfect, which made me jealous.
"You look beautiful sister" I sighed looking down at my feet. Margaery came and sat down beside me on the bed. I rested me head on her shoulder and she put her head on mine in return. These are the things I love about Margaery, she can always tell when something's wrong, whose going to be here for me when she leaves?
"Don't worry about it violet, I'll always be your sister. Even if I'm not with you here I'll still be in your heart" she grabbed my hands and stood up pulling me with her. "Growing strong" she said.
"Growing strong" I repeated looking into her eyes.
"Now, let's get you into that dress so we can show everyone just how beautiful you really are" she smiled at me holding the dress out for me.
"Thank you Margaery" I took the dress from her and slipped it over my head. I smoothed out the creases and took a look in the mirror. I stood their staring at myself and something seemed different, I didn't look like me. I turned around to face Margaery and she had the biggest smile on her face.
"You look beautiful violet" I saw a tear come to her eye.
"Oh no please don't cry, because then I'll cry and we will both be a mess" i walked over to her brushing the tear from her cheek and kissing it sweetly. "We better head off now, we are already late" I told her, I held out my arm offering it to her, she laughed and took my arm as we walked to the dining hall together. We stood outside the dining hall, we could already here the muffled cheering and faint music. "If you don't mind Margaery, I'm just going to take a moment out here before I go in"
"I'll meet you in there" she gently squeezed my hand before making her way into the hall. I took a deep breath and gripped the edge of the railing.
"It's okay violet, be confident" I told myself quietly letting out a deep breath. I felt something nudge the back of my waist and I turned around to see ghost sitting infront of me. "Oh hi boy, what're you doing here?" I asked him expecting a reply. I quietly laughed at myself. "Where's Jon buddy? He's been ignoring me lately, maybe you could give him a talking to" I laughed and ruffled his furr. I have him a kiss on the head and walked to the doors of the hall. "Growing stong" I mumbled to myself and opened the doors of the hall. The hall was filled with people dancing, eating and drinking. My eyes scanned the room and they found Robbs, he gave me a small wave and I made my way though the crowds to get to him. I was making my way through the crowds saying my hellos to all the lords and ladies I came across. Walking through the crowds not watching where I was going I ran straight into someone's chest. "Would you watch where your goi-"
"Violet, I'm sorry I didn't see you" i looked up to meet the eyes of Jon snows. His eyes scanned my body and a smirked played on his lips.
"The fault was mine" I replied bluntly, focussing my eyes on anything other than him.
"You look very beautiful violet" jon said while grabbing my hands in his.
"Thank you Jon" looking down at our hands, pulling mine away from his. As much as it pained me to do so, I was hurt that not once did he bother to try to talk to me, when he saw me coming he would walk the other way and that hurt. He looked down at me with a confused look on his face.
"Violet what's wrong?"
"Like you don't know?" I said sarcastically.
"Would you like to inform me? Because I'm confused when it comes to you?" He said not taking his eyes off me.
"We kissed.. we did more than kiss" I said quietly, looking around to see if anyone was looking. "Then you acted like I didn't exist, but you sent ghost around after me? That hurt. You left me confused and humiliated." I said looking into his eyes, tears threatening to fall.
"Violet I'm so-"
"Jon, Violet, what's going on here" Robb said coming to my side slipping his hand around my waist, Jons eyes flashed with anger.
"Oh nothing, we were just discussing how ghost has started to follow me around, I think he's taken a liking to me" I said giggling at Robb.
"Come sit and have a drink with us please Violet" Robb offered me his arm and I happily took it. I took one last look at Jon before leaving, his eyes were full of anger and his fists were balled down by his sides. I sighed and sat down at the table with Robb. I spent most of the night drinking and laughing with Robb, occasionally sharing a glance with Jon who looked furious. I was starting to get light headed when I heard Ned Starks voice booming above everyone else's.
"Lady Violet of house Tyrell and my Son Robb of house stark and heir to winterfell will be planning to wed in the next 4 months" Ned cheered over the crowd of people. People cheered and chanted mine and Robbs name. My eyes flickered to Robbs who could sense I was nervous, he grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze. My eyes flickered around the room for help, they landed on Margaery who gave me a small apologetic smile. My eyes flickered to Jons, who could see the tears beginning to fall.
"If you'll excuse me for a minute" I turned to tell Robb, who gave me a small smile as I made my way out of the hall. I pushed the doors open and ran into the cool air, I ran to a seat and sat down. My breathing got heavier and my heart started to beat faster and faster.
"Violet, are you okay?" I heard a voice from next to me, I looked up to see Jon standing next to me with a small smile on his face.
"I am Lady Violet of house Tryell, not Lady Violet of house Stark" I mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear it.
"I know" he sighed sitting down next to me, grabbing my hands in his.
"I don't want to marry Robb" I looked into Jons eyes, tears started to fall and I couldn't stop them. He cupped my face and wiped the tears from me cheeks. I pressed my head to his chest and he stroked my back. "I'm sorry I ignored you Violet, I didn't mean to hurt you" he sighed. "I know that nothing could come of if, you and I. And I thought if I didn't talk to you my feelings for you would go away, but they didn't" he said as he rubbed small circles into my back.
"You could've told me that sooner" I said nudging him in the ribs. He laughed and kissed my forehead.
"I know, I'm sorry beautiful" he slipped his finger under my chin and made me look at him. His brown eyes stared back into mine, he leaned forward and pressed a delicate kiss to my lips, it was soft and slow, and I enjoyed every bit of it. The butterflies erupted in my stomach again. "Violet, you're marrying my brother" he turned away from me a sighed.
"I know" I looked down to my cheek and let tears fall onto my lap.
"But we still have now my Lady" he got up and held out his hand, i reached up to take it and he pulled me into his chest. He put his arm around my waist and I put my arm on his shoulder. I looked in his eye and he pressed a kissed to my forehead. I leant my head on his chest and we swayed to the distant music.
Was I starting to love Jon snow?
