Lady's Maid [kittyfantastic & Red]

Evelyn didn’t miss the girl’s arched eyebrow at her request for a kiss. She bit her lip to prevent herself from grinning. It was just too much fun to make these sorts of flippant demands and watch the conflicted emotions flicker across her maid’s face. She knew she was being difficult and that Lenora probably had a few choice words for her already. But she also knew the girl would bend over backwards to make her happy, because she wanted to keep her job. Evelyn enjoyed pushing her to her limits. And she was only just getting started…

The spark of static electricity as their hands came together made her hand twitch, just as Lenora took hold of it. Look at that, a literal spark, she thought to herself with amusement. If she was honest, it had made her heart skip a beat and she was suddenly hyper aware of the girls warm fingers around her own, her soft lips on the smooth skin of her hand and, most of all, her two green eyes staring boldly up at her, taunting her even, as if the girl could care less about Evelyn’s station over her. The mistress blinked at that, silently thankful that the room was probably too dark for Lenora to see just the faintest color in her cheeks. She pulled her hand away and cleared her throat, a little ruffled by the audacity of such a lecherous look.

“You may go,” she repeated, turning back toward her vanity mirror and running hand through her hair. She watched Lenora from the corner of her eyes as the girl slipped out of the room and closed the door quietly behind her.

Now that she was alone again, her room seemed darker and colder than ever. She sighed and climbed into her enormous bed and drew the feathery blankets and pillows around her. She stared up at the ceiling. Somewhere above her, Lenora was probably entering her room and getting ready for bed herself. Evelyn wondered what her life had been like before she’d come to the house. She wondered again why the girl had blushed when she mentioned her previous mistresses. In fact, all she could think about was her new maid. She tossed and turned a few times in her bed feeling wide awake. She stroked the spot on her hand where Lenora had kissed it and the looked at the clock. Only a few hours had passed since she’d sent her away. It was the wee hours of the morning.

On a sudden impulse, Evelyn reached for the string that would ring the bell in Lenora’s room. She gave it a few quick tugs and then waited impatiently.

Me too, I really want them to end up together ^^ Larry can gtfo XD

Yeah you really do relive a moment when you look back over a drawing, the Dean even talked about that in one of his lectures when he was telling us how important it is as designer/artists to be constantly sketching. It's like when you doodle in your notebook in class and end up actually taking in more of the lecture than if you were just sitting there day dreaming. When you sketch something, you end up taking in all the details of your surroundings. It's so zen! haha xD I don't really ever draw people, unless they happen to be sitting the scene x) Some of my lecture classes have been like 400 students in an auditorium and I have sketched peoples profiles and the backs of their heads like a weirdo x) But yeah, mostly places and things.

Woah that's cool that your dad plays rugby! My dad plays golf, pfffftt boooring haha xD He drags my brother off to play too and tries to bribe me to go and I tell him I will if they rent a golf cart and I get to drive it, but he prefers to walk x) That is so funny, I had no idea rugby was a thing in Canada. My high school definitely didn't have a rugby team. Into rugby and soccer (players) huh xD Yeah me too #every_player_on_the_US_womens_national_team haha. Apart from soccer and college football, I really like watching hockey x) Me, my dad, and my brother are Carolina Hurricane fans and since they're based in Raleigh, we go see them play all the time. Basically all the players on the team are from Canada xD

Hahahaha "He's wearing cute underwear!" His dad sounds hilarious xD Wait, how did you already know??

Ooo Romea and Juliet sounds like it would be great. Hey did you ever get a chance to watch Black Swan btw?

Heh, I kinda feel the same way, there's something about Brienne that kind of, idk, puts me off. Although I liked her more in the recent episodes. It's true that she's almost too good. It seems like most Game of Thrones characters have something to hate and love about them and it makes them so much more interesting. Ohhh I did not like when Sansa lied for Little Finger about him killing her insane aunt. She should of just ratted him out and gotten rid of that motherfucka D<

Lol, we can be annoyed at how awesome we are together xD

She might enjoy it too much huh xD That's not necessarily a bad thing, seeing as Evelyn thoroughly enjoys dominating heh heh >D I am liking the subtle attitude Lenora is giving her though haha xD

Out of curiosity, what time zone are you in? I'm on East Coast time myself.

Evelyn raised her eyebrows curiously as Lenora brushed off her question about her previous mistresses. To her surprise, the girl began to color slightly, just a light rosy dusting across her cheeks that was admittedly very attractive. The older girl stared at her with half-lidded eyes, wondering what she was thinking of that had made her so flustered. No matter, she was sure she would pry into that out sooner or later.

She was grateful to Lenora for being quick about getting her nightgown, although she didn’t show it. She simply raised her arms above her head to indicate that the servant girl should slip it on over her head for her.

”Will that be all, my lady?”

Evelyn smoothed the nightgown down over her curves, looking at herself in the mirror for a moment before answering.

“Hm.. Yes, I suppose that’s all,” she replied off-handedly. “You’re dismissed.” But she glanced at Lenora’s reflection suddenly and turned around to address her again. “Before you leave my presence you should curtsy of course. And you must kiss my hand, and bid me goodnight.”

She raised her arm to offer the back of her hand, waiting expectantly. Something about the defiant look in the other girl’s eyes made her gleeful.

“I know we’re not exactly equals Lenora,” the look she gave her was just as challenging, her lip curled into a slightly mocking smile, “but I hope we’ll become friends, as far as our stations will allow.” She swept her gaze over her appraisingly and added, “ Listen for the bell, in case I should need you sometime in the night. You may go.”

Yeah, that's true, she could tell that Alex was genuinely scared, which is so unlike her, so it was kind of like a last ditch effort to protect her. I still think it will take some time for Alex to come around to that idea and at first she'll just be like why the fuck did you that. Of course, me and all the fans are like yay go back to prison!! xD

Ohhh I love that idea for your tattoo! That's perfect! Heh it took me a million years to figure out exactly what I wanted #commitment_issues. Actually I knew where I wanted it before I finally settled on the design. I really like your idea for yours, it's so authentic and I like that you seemed to have started with something meaningful and then decided how to get it tattooed, whereas for me, to be totally honest, I fell in love with the idea of getting a tattoo and then sought out something meaningful lol x) Yes I'd be glad to show my watercolors! I love showing off ha xD They're just little pieces here and there like you said, in a little sketchbook. I make a pen sketch of something first, just random things like buildings on campus or downtown or the lake near my apartment, and even of a register at work xD and then I add some color to it. It's all to keep me drawing over the summer, for practice. I really like looking through artists' travel notebooks because they're like visual diaries. I want it to end up becoming something like that for my summer "adventures," which are really just me wandering around Raleigh lol.

Goddamn it, Germany x) They didn't crush us like we thought they might, but they did beat us 1-0. Luckily we did well enough that it doesn't matter and the US is still advancing to the next round, with 15 other countries, so all is well. Haha, I've watched rugby a couple times, it is pretty interesting! I don't get it at all, but I feel like I could get into it. It's very European. My college doesn't have a rugby team, but I think there might be a club sport. I like college American football, but really only if my school is playing xD Once I graduate, I won't keep up with it. Soccer tho <3<3<3

That's so cute! Aw his dad's encouragement, that is so sweet x)

Yeah it was a ballet! I've only seen two other ballets, one was Cinderella and the other was a really surreal interpretation of Snow White, but I can't remember the title. You must have seen a ton, what were your favorites?

Hey no worries, post whenever you can :) I gotta hit the hay soon anyways because I start work early tomorrow.

The Hound Dx It was such a complicated mix of emotions. I thought he would go out in a blaze of fire, not pitifully begging someone to kill him. I wonder if he really died.. We didn't actually see it. This didn't happen in the finale but omg when Egret died Dx And she said remember that cave, I wish we'd never left, or something like that and I just DX Someone'd already told me she was going to die an it was still heart wrenching. And unexpected too, I thought it would be one of Jon Snow's many rivals that would kill her but it was just that little boy, doing what Sam told him to do DX My favorite part of the finale was when Arya met Brienne and you could see that both of them were impressed and pleased to find another female fighter.

Thanks! :D And you're welcome x) Although tbh it's giving me some difficultly because I've become wayyyyy pickier about choosing partners. Maybe I should be annoyed x)

Lady's Maid [kittyfantastic & Red]

Ha! xD Well, she probably deserves a little hair pulling x) Of course, it won't go unanswered if she does.. >)

Dang, I misspelled "curtsy" twice in my second to last post >.< I had to go fix it, because I'm actually neurotic too xD

Lady's Maid [kittyfantastic & Red]

Evelyn caught the rebellious look in Lenora’s eyes as the girl reluctantly obliged her by dipping into a low curtsey. Her own eyes were alight with mischief as she stared steadily back at her.

"May it please you, my lady.”

The hint of sarcasm in Lenora’s tone only made the mistress smirk again, her eyebrows raised in amusement. For all her complaints against her old maid’s willfulness, Evelyn secretly preferred a girl with some spirit. It made things more interesting.

“Better. You’ll remember next time, I’m sure.”

She knew she was only fanning the flames but the look of disdain in the other girl’s expression made the temptation irresistible. She always did this – poked and prodded at the new ones, looking for a reaction. A small part of her knew she was only making things harder for herself by aggravating her soon-to-be companion. Being alone for long stretched of time should have made her eager to make a friend out of this new girl. At least, as far as their different social stations would allow. Apart from the occasional party, Evelyn spent most of her days cooped up in her parents’ empty, extravagant house. She felt bored and restless most of the time, always looking for some sort of mischief to get into. And now she was taking out her restless on this hapless young woman.

“You’ll be staying in a room above mine,” she was telling Lenora as the maid helped her undress. She sighed appreciatively as the corset around her waist became slack, and then began again in a curt, commanding tone. “There’s a bell in your room that I will ring when I need you. In addition to attending to me personally, your responsibilities include keeping my room in order. Tending to the fireplace and such. Can you handle that?” She watched Lenora’s expression in the mirror, looking curious and a touch possessive. “Have you had many mistresses before me?”

At last, Evelyn stepped out of her dress and shivered in the cool air. It was early February and despite the hearty fire in the fireplace, the room was still dreadfully chill.

“F-Fetch my night gown, it’s there on the chair,” she shuddered, folding her arms over her bare chest and nodding toward the lacy white gown.
