Misunderstanding

Angelina

As I slowly made my way from behind the bed, I hid my hands behind my back as I fumbled with the nervously.

"Sir James this is a very big misunderstanding, you see I had just woke up and then I heard someone coming so I hid."

"Yes, and I assume you are still suffering from a hangover due to last night's drinking which I must say shocked me, I never took you to be such a drinker."-Sir James

"I promise you it will never happen again it was just a momentary thing, but did we...do that?"

Angelina's breath held as he took a couple steps closer and held her face.

"Do you really think that low of me? I would never engage in such activities with an unconscious woman, let alone one who hasn't given me their permission. I will wait until you are ready my lady." -Sir James

I sighed in relief as I made my way to the door before I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back as he gave me a smile.

"Yes?"

"I asked the cooks to prepare you some soup, hopefully I will help with you hangover and stomachache." -Sir James

"Thank you."

As I opened the door I paused in my tracks as our eyes met, her hands in motion of a knock. My throat tightened as I saw tears weld up in her eyes. She quickly wiped them as her brother came to the door.

"Sister I didn't expect you to be here so this early, what can I help you with?" -Sir James

"Uhhh I came here to see if you had seen saw Angelina for the morning but I think I already found her, please excuse me.- Beatrice

"Wait Beatrice no, I'm sorry Sir James I have to go."

I ran after her as she ignored my calls. My heart felt as though it was breaking all over again. Why did it have to be so hard for us to love each other? I finally caught up to her after she stopped by the lake.

"Please you have to believe me it isn't what it looks like."

"Then what is it then? I waited for you in your room the entire night only to find you in my brother's room, drenched in the smell of alcohol, in the same clothes you wore yesterday along with my brother half dress. How the bloody hell am I supposed to take it."-Beatrice

"I don't know Beatrice, I really don't but do you know how hard it is to be married to someone who you do not love? To be inlove with his sister while you have to maintain the duties of his wife, to have to act like there's gonna be a time where I'm gonna be with him? To hear all of his plans of our future together, while all you do is complain?"

"Me?"-Beatrice

"Yes you, I can't believe your only thinking about yourself when I'm do one who has to go through it. So what you see us in the dining room or around the house, I'm the in the moment, I have to live it and all I ask is for you to be understanding.

The more you act like there's something wrong with our relationship, the more suspicious he'll get"

"Understanding? If you really think that I'll ever be ok with someone else doing the things I should be with my lover than you are truly deluded." Beatrice

"Beatrice-"

I froze as I bumped into Beatrice. As I followed her gaze I saw his confused face as he he stood behind her.

"Brother..."-Beatrice
