"Then it is agreed, I till take in your eldest son in and teach him," My father says
"And when the time comes, you're well middle girl she will marry my son when she is of age" he says
"Indeed, as soon as she comes of age the two till be allowed to marry as and when they choose. and I will send word to your of a date and time they choose, and of course any other things" my father explained and he nods, my father and this man sitting at the table in our living room my sisters upstairs playing there games and with there dolls I was stood huddled around the corner hiding from there eyes
"rafe!" the man calls and a boy hopped across the room and sitting up on the chair beside the man he tried to do his manners right
"Hello Mi' Lord" the boy said
"My lord, learn that now Young rafe," My father told him
"yes My Lord" he nodded
"Could we see her? you've seen your son in law, I want to see my Daughter in law, Check I'm not getting the short end of the stick" the man laughed
"My daughter is hardly over six, she's not going to look the same as soon as she's at age" My father says
"I want to see her anyway, let the two meet properly the first time," The man said
"Very well, Johanna, send for her," my father says and Johanna walked towards me as soon as she turned the corner she saw me and pushed me inside
"That as fast" the man laughed as I hid behind Miss Johanna's dress
"I was hiding outside" I smile "Papa, who are these people?" I ask
"Some business friends of mine little one come here," My father says calling me over to him so I went standing behind his chair
"Papa? who's that boy?" I ask
"a Business boy, coming to live with us for a while" My father answered
"I heard talk of promises? Betrothals? and such" I tell him
"Well spoken for a young girl" The man chuckled across the table
"Who will he marry papa?" I ask looking at the little boy
"You," The man said
"papa?" I ask
"he is right little one, he will be yours someday," he says
"Haha! You mean she will be his" the man laughed
"They are betrothed they belong to each other" My father smiled
"Go on Rafe go see your bride" The man smirked lightly pushing the boy out of his seat the boy stepped over to me shyly
"Go on Flower, you can see him," he says so I stopped and moved lightly around his chair to be face to face with this boy "she is not his bride, not yet" My father warned
"Course not, The day she has her blood then." the man smirked "Then she will be yours" The man smirked to his son "Go on say something to each other" the man said
"Hello" The boy smiled
"Hello" I blush looking to the floor
"I... I think you look beautiful, and I would be happy to marry you" He smiled at me
"I would be happy to marry you too" I giggle he took my hand giving it a soft kiss
"I- I like your dress, It's a beautiful White, Like a snowdrop" he smiles and I giggled
"Hows about you two run off while adults work out the fine details," the man said so we ran off out the room towards the gardens.
I yawned as I wandered past the Little rose bush in the garden "Y/n? what are you doing out here?" Rafe asked me as he ran out to meet with me
"Just having a wander" I smile holding his hand
"Aww... well do you mind if I walk with you my little snowdrop?" he asks
"Course not Rafe" I smile kissing his head
"You know... Your father will be gone till this afternoon and the house is empty with everyone at the joust" he suggested
"What are you suggest?" I ask
"I don't know" He shrugged "We could... do stuff" he smirked
"You are not going to shut up about this are you?" I ask
"Not If I can help it" He shrugs
"Come on" I smirk tugging him into the house and up to the nice room we found the other day with the nice dark windows and soft sofa's we ran to the sofa close to the window sitting there and cuddling closely I kept nuzzling into his chest and he held me tightly
"come on y/n..." He smirks trying to kiss me
"Rafe no" I giggle "You have to wait," I tell him
"Still now flower my little snowdrop?" he asks
"No flower, still just a bud," I tell him
"Ohh... would my little bud like some betrothal fun?" he asks and I nod giving my head a kiss lightly running his hand down my neck running his soft hand down my chest a little "Umm I can't wait till your all mine" He groans
"I'm sure it won't be too long, My freind Lucy did last week, I'm sure it will happen soon," I tell him
"I hope so my little snowdrop, I promise the second you do I will marry you" he smiled
"RAFE!" I heard my father call for him so we quickly separated
"yes, sir?" He asks
"We need you a moment," My father told him.
I laid blissfully sewing as I sat on my window Ledge I heard my door open and a little tap on the inside of my door "Knock, Knock" Rafe smiles swooping in around my door
"Hello" I smile
"Hello" he smiled back coming inside and shutting my bedroom door behind him "How have you been?" He asks giving my head a kiss as he came sitting with me
"Fine, busy" I smile
"what are you working on?" he asks
"A cover, for Papa...he gets cold some nights as he gets older" I smile
"You are the sweetest little thing on this earth, humm my little snowdrop" he smiles stroking my cheek "It's unusual... for you to stay Well a bud for this long," He says
"You think it's not what I want" I Began
"I know, I know," he says "I know it's what you want. and I know you can't help it..." he says "But... I can't help but get a little Inpatient of waiting my love" he says
"You are still free, you can go out and find yourself a lady of the evening to spend-" I began but he gently kissed my cheek
"I Never want to touch another lady in any way, I am yours we just wait" he smiled gently kissing my head
"Ohh I remember now" I smile "I have a present for you," I tell him
"for me? What on earth for?" he asks me
"Becuase all things consider taken the formalities and the paperwork you are my husband" I smile going to sort through all my things to find it "Found it" I smile taking it back and giving it to him
"Not to be rude Snowdrop but... what is it?" he asked
"I made a comforter... for your bed, to keep you toasty warm some nights" I smile
"You are too sweet to me" he says unfolding it a little to look at it better to see the detailing more "It's beautiful, but lets hope soon that it's our bed" He smiles
"Soon" I smile "I hope" I smile cuddling onto his shoulder he smiled pulling me close resting his head on mine.
I yawned feeling myself wake from my dreamy state, turned a little in my bed and felt a twinge of pain in my stomach like a knife had been forced into my body as I slept I moved the sheet of my bed seeing the blood below on my sheets and my nightie I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life to see blood so close to my person Never so happy to be in pain, I didn't know what to do... I couldn't think of anything to do. Call for my father? Call for Johanna? Do something myself? Or... do I call for rafe? after all... this is what we have been waiting for very long for.
I called for him Johanna rushing off to go and find him for me
"Y/n? What is it?" he asked rubbing his eyes looking half asleep "why did you send for me at such an ungodly hour?" he asked stepping in and shutting my door coming over to my bed he wasn't looking at me I smiled pulling him to look at me his eyes lingering on my nightie I held his hands tightly
"Hummm, I am yours" I smile
"What are you talking about my little snowdrop?" He asks
"Rafe, what have we been waiting for... for my little bud to flower at last" I smile running my hand up his arm
"h-Has it happened?" He asked and I nodded and he smirked "At fucking last" he smirks grabbing my waist and kissing my lips, his lips were so soft and perfect pulling me tightly against him so I sat on his lap
"rafe wait," I tell him pushing him away
"what is it?" he asks
"Not today," I tell him
"what! why not?" he asks
"Not while... it's still going on a couple of days when it stops," I tell him
"But y/n... I've waited all my life to finally do that to you" he complains
"Then you can stomach a couple more days" I laugh
"Alright," he sighed giving my lips another soft kiss...
