"Seriously? I do that too!" She laughed slightly. "No one knows how to have fun around here. Yes, sometimes I choose to sleep in the gardens in a tent, so sue me."

Dorian chuckled and slipped the rose he was holding behind her ear, “I’m not going to sue you for doing something you love. If you’re being sued for that then sue me for sleeping in the stables.”

"You're too sweet to me, Dorian, you really are." She smiled a little, gently adjusting the rose now in her hair, fighting back her blush.

Dorian smiled down at her, jumping up onto the lip of the garden fountain. Drops of water started to spray against his clothes but he didn’t care, “Think nothing of it, Lady. It is just kindness, something more people need to learn.”

She shook her head with a smile. "You're going to fall." She glanced around at the quiet gardens, watching for a second. "I should be getting back inside. My father's probably wondering where I am."

“Fall? I’ve done this a hundred times, I won’t fall,” Dorian grinned cheekily before he jumped down in front of her, “I’ll walk you back, wouldn’t want you getting lost now.”

"I'd find my way eventually." She shrugged with a chuckle. "Navigating new places is kind of my thing."

“Well I wouldn’t be a very good host if I let you,” He replied, slipping a hand into his pocket as he started to lead her back.

She hummed softly as they walked, just looking up at the night sky with a far off look in her eye.

Dorian watched her carefully, just taking in her beauty quietly. Soon enough, the music from the party could be heard again and he couldn’t help but sigh softly.

His sigh brought her back into reality. "Oh, sorry, I was daydreaming." She looked away from him, blushing brightly.

Dorian shook his head a little, “No need to apologise, Fiona. We all do it from time to time.”

She glanced through the window and locked eyes with her brother's, who motioned for her to come inside as they all clearly seemed to be waiting. "I've got to go. But it was certainly a pleasure to meet you." She kissed his cheek gently. "Bye Dorian." She smiled before disappearing into the crowd, weaving through it to her family.

Dorian stood stunned and red faced for a moment before he came to his senses, “Fiona, wait!” He quickly followed her and caught her before she left, “Promise me you’ll write and visit me?”

She smiled brightly, her own face bright red. "Of course, my prince." She paused for a second before leaving him with one last kiss, this time pressed to his lips before she turned and hurried out with the rest of her family. Her sisters were yelling at her for doing something so 'brash and unthinkable' while her brothers were asking why she did it in the first place.

Dorian couldn’t help but stay bright red as he watched her go, a grin permanently plastered on his face as he spent the rest of the evening with his sisters. His father later on asked him who that girl was and what she was to him in which Dorian avoided the quesion and left him alone.

She couldn't ignore the butterflies in her stomach for the rest of the night even if she wanted to. She'd now given her first kiss to a boy she'd literally only met that night but it felt so wonderful.

Dorian stayed awake late into the evening and into the early hours of the morning, not unusual for him but only this time his mind wasn’t full of stress and work, it was on Fiona. One day, he’d known her for not even a day and she’d already wormed her way into her mind and stuck.

Late nights were her thing, so her staying up until this ungodly hour wasn't unusual for her. But rather than being stuck on a chapter or writer's block, it was on Dorian. His lips had been so soft and inviting, if only she could've felt them for a little bit longer. She shook her thoughts away, blushing red. How embarrassing.

“Dorian, Dorian!” The soft yet somehow loud voice of the twins came rushing to his ears as he sat up in bed and the to girls came jumping up onto his bed, “Who was that girl you were with last night?” One if then, Isabella asked.
“Just a new friend.” He replied, grinning at them.
“Come ooooon.” The other, Elizabeth whined.
“Nope, won’t tell you.l!

"So…you want to explain what we watched last night?" Mark's calm yet protective voice filtered into her ears. "Yes, it's not every nice you witness your younger sister kiss someone she just met that night." James's voice sounded the same. "He deserved it." She shrugged.

“Bella, Lizzy, no matter how much you perester me, you’ll have to wait utnik she comes over again,” Dorian replied calmly.
The girls squealed in excitement, “Really? She’s coming over again?” Isbella asked.
“Yes Bella, hopefully.”

Her brother's opened their mouths to argue but we're cut off by a knock at her door. "Excuse me boys, but I'd like to speak to my daughter." Her father chuckled. "Yes father." They mumbled in unison, embarrassed. They quickly left, leaving Fiona and her dad alone. "So, my dear Fiona. I was told you kissed the Earl's son?" "Well, the younger one." "As expected. You see, the Earl found it quite interesting that his son shows such interest in a girl he just met and is offering for you two to meet again later this afternoon."

“She’s actually, coming over later today,” Dorian’s older brother spoke from the door way.
Dorian looked up from his sisters to his brother and even though he was happy, he didn’t want to see Edward’s face in his space.
“Thanks for letting my now, Edward.”

"Oh that sounds lovely!" She smiled brightly. Her father returned her smile. "Wonderful! Now you finish your morning work and get dressed, I'll send a message to let him know you're coming."

(Lmao, true and I don't mind a stalker)
Edward just shrugged and turned away, leaving his sibling alone. Dorian sighed and turned to his sisters, "Well, I'd better get ready, and so should you two if you want to meet her."
The twins nodded and rushed off, causing Dorian to chuckle.

(Please do!)
The day seemed to fly by until it was time for her to go. She approached the manor door almost hesitantly. This was a very important family and now she had to face them alone. But she'd have Dorian, she'd be fine. She relaxed and smiled, knocking on the door.

An elderly woman answered the door with a smile, opening the door wide for Fiona, "Good afternoon, Lady," She curtsied politely, "You're here to see Master Dorian, correct?"
