Chapter 1

Your friends had been telling you about this art museum in town. However you never really much cared for art but you were tired of hearing them so you agreed to check it out that weekend. You got up that Saturday morning and didn't go all out on your makeup or clothing, just comfy jeans and nice shirt, some eyeliner and lip gloss and go. Its not like you planned on picking someone up in a art gallery that is the last place you would think to do that. So you get there and you are surprised how so many people are into art and you keep hearing people talk about this Rafayel guy who is supposed to be the main artist in todays gallery. You tried to find anywhere on the pamphlet you grabbed when you came in for a last name but you thought guess he is so popular he doesn't need a last name like the singer Prince. This made you laugh cause at least he isn't just a symbol.

You look over the pamphlet and go from each art piece to the next based on what it says about each of them. There wasn't much standing out to you til you got to this mural on the wall of the depths of the ocean. It had fish, dolphins, whales and merfolk in it and you were drawn to this piece like no other. So many had passed this one by but this was it, this piece talked to you. The thought of merfolk as a kid interested you like no other and whales and dolphins are some of your favorite creatures. You were taking it all in when you heard a voice "That is one of my favorites as well." You quickly wiped the tears that were trickling in your eyes away then look back at this man. He was so handsome, the purple hair casting a slight shadow across his face, his purple mix tented eyes were captivating, his skin looked soft and silky with a creamy tone, he was tall and had broad shoulders and absolutely the most beautiful man you had ever seen in your life. For the first time you felt like you believed in love at first sight. You were caught up in his looks you found your eyes settling on his soft plush lips that looked like they were so kissable.

He cleared his throat and you snapped out of it, you fumbled dropping the pamphlet. "Um yeah I think I love you too.. I mean I love it too.." You were so embarrassed your words were gone, your mind couldn't think about anything but him which caused you to mess up what you were saying, you sighed. He chuckled "Your cute, whats your name?" You smile and your face is own fire at the way he is looking at you, you're now questioning if you even remember your name. You push through and you catch his gaze, your cheeks still flushed "My, name is Y/N what about you?" He smiles at you then turns and walks away, you are so shook, what just happened. You were sure you messed it up with the fumble of your words, your eyes direct back to the painting and sigh.

About that time he walks back over to you holding a picture frame in his hand which left you curious. He turned it around and it was a picture of him then underneath it said his name Rafayel, then he pointed to the painting the plaque on the wall under the painting said the same. "Oh! Oh my god! Your.....H-him?!?" He smiles and nods "Thats right, but you, are the first to take alot of notice in this one picture and I am curious why. Do you have plans after this?" You couldn't believe he was standing right here in front of you, he was someone famous and you surely weren't drop dead gorgeous yet he wants to take you out and talk. Then you started wondering is it just cause the picture or is he actually interested in you. "N-no..." He chuckles, then reaches for your hand and pulls you with him. You gladly follow along not sure why, but you know your heart is beating so loudly you are sure he can hear it.

He walks you out the back door and walks you out towards the open beach that lays behind the art gallery. You are trying to keep up he is walking much faster than you yet still holding your hand. As you reach the waters edge he looks back at you as he releases your hand. "What does the ocean mean to you, the creatures in it?" He says with a more serious tone to it as he looks out in to the blue sea. Your not sure what he wants but you tell him about your love of the ocean and the sea creatures in it. He is now looking at you with such fascination yet doesn't say anything. You are hesitant on the last part thinking he might think your crazy..."Also merfolk I have been in love with the idea they exist since I was a little girl. So when I look out at the ocean I hope that deep down they do and your art made me feel like that hopeful little girl again." His face softly flushed pink, his ears had a tint of red to them to. He was embarrassed like he had some secret he wanted to tell you but wasn't sure how too.

"I'm going to trust you, because some reason I feel like I can." His words were shaky as he pulled out his hand blowing into and little blue fish swam around in thin air. You were so captivated by this magic you couldn't take your eyes off it and when you went touch, it faded. "W-What...was that?" He could see as you asked the curiosity and dreamy look in your eyes flickered. He took your hand and walked you towards the ocean as you walked further out you were starting to get scared. He could feel you start to tremble he turned back giving you a big hug and whispering in your ear "Trust me I will protect you, I just want to show you the world you have dreamed of does exist."

You let you heart rate relax as he said these words, you were going to trust him and you just didn't understand its like the moment you laid eyes on him it was like your heart was home, like it had found the missing half of your puzzle however you knew nothing about him and this all surprised you. Right now you were following a strange man you met over a hour ago into the ocean where you can't even swim, this could be the last day you breathe on earth yet your following him blindly. You realize love at first sight is blinder than you could imagine. As you get to where the water is about to go over your head, he is still holding you close as he looks at you and his eyes light up a beautiful bright blue. You are so alarmed by this but you never pull away because even though he has some kind of magic he is still holding you tight preventing you from falling.

He looks at you smiling with those pretty illuminated eyes staring back at you, now you find your smiling back at him. "Ready for the best part?" He says with a playful sound to his voice, you nod yes and he takes you into his arms picking you up as you look up at him he leans in and kisses your lips softly. You weren't expecting this but you kiss him back, then you realized he wasn't making out with you he was doing it to help you breathe. When he pulled away after a moment he chuckled, "There will be plenty of time for kisses, I promise." You were embarrassed that you thought he was trying to make out with you. Your face felt like it was on fire and you were sure your cheeks were probably really red by now. He plunges under the water and you go to gasp and no sooner you get under the water you realize your not drowning, you can breathe under the water yet your confused why.

You reach up touching your lips as you look at him his glowing eyes looking back you. You notice scale like area on the back of his neck such a sparkly blue, when your eyes finally look down. You see the most beautiful fanned out mer tail and you gasp. Then look back in his eyes "Wow...Your beautiful!" He smiled at her as he swayed his tail back and fourth keeping them in the same area. He held you close to him as he began to swim across the ocean bottom, you saw schools of fish flipping by, coral reefs lined the bottom area near rocks and tropical looking plants. The water made everything practically shimmer down below. You were so mesmerized how this world you hoped for so long existed and he showed you a world you only dreamed of. He eventually took you back to the beach and soon as he switched back to human his eyes flipped back to normal as well.

Once you were back standing in front of him on the ocean sand you look up at him and reach out for his hand. He meets you pulling you close to him. "Is this real? Are you real?" You had to ask because this seemed like some kind of fairy tale there was no way it was all real. "It is real, I am a merman. I am trusting you to keep that secret, but I want to see you again. Is that ok?" You were shocked by his request you wanted to see him again in and out of the water, you wanted to run away with him at this point but you didn't dare tell him that you didn't want to scare him. You nodded "Yes I want to see you again too. Can we go on a date maybe tomorrow?" You were surprised you were able to get that out and he smiled at you with the brightest smile you would ever see. "We will meet here at 3pm then, for now I have to go. Thank you for today, Y/N." As you waved goodbye you watched him walk to the gallery and back inside. You stood there flushed in the face, still soaking wet. You were excited to see what tomorrow would bring.

Chapter 2

Its morning time your waking up remembering the wonderful time you had with Rafayel yesterday and you really hope it wasn't some dream. He showed you such beauty underwater and how he shimmered as well as his tail it was just such a breath taking sight. You plundered through your closet trying to figure out what to wear on this date today. This was your first date with him and you wanted it to be special. You ended up settling on a light blue dress was slightly low cut in the front but not over doing it for a first date and all. It fell nicely over your figure and draped across your legs right above your knees. You were sure this is the one to catch his eye, so you moved on to putting your hair half up and half down in a more romantic look to it. Last step was putting on some sandals and putting on the touches of your make up mainly to make your eyes pop. You were ready its 2pm and you still had a hour to go. You wondered what he might have planned for your date, then you got to thinking what if he thought you were going to do something since you actually asked. Then things in your mind had you anxious if nothing but to make up back up plans just in case he didn't plan anything. You sit down at your laptop with a few clicks you found some fun first date ideas to do around town.

First link you pulled up mentioned skydiving, you shook your head and said to yourself in a soft mumble "Thats a no!" Then you saw this couples only ferris wheel that overlooked the city it looked so romantic and it comes with a firework show. You continued looking and saw the local aquarium as well since you both love aquatic animals, you were sure both of these and eat out somewhere would be the perfect fall back you were now ready to go. You look at your phone and you spent 45 minutes looking that up so you rushed out the door drive down to the beach. When you get there you make sure one last time that you were ready for this, you were so nervous been awhile since you been out with any guy especially a first date which is pretty big. You headed towards the beach behind the art gallery and as you walk further down the beach you see him standing at the waters edge with his feet in the water. You were so excited to see him, you found yourself yelling over to him and waving. He smiled as he saw you and started walking towards you as well.

You catch up over in front of him and then you both stop like there was this invisible wall between you, then the nerves set in full on now. You meek out a soft "Hello" He chuckles as he watches you get all flustered he reaches out taking your hand and pulling you closer to him because you are way too far away, and he likes you super close. You looked up at him still blushing as he leans in giving you a soft kiss before pulling away. "Hey Darling, so are you ready for our date today? I have been so excited I stayed up all night looking at places." He was so excited and you were actually quiet happy that its a guy who wants to date you so much that he took the initiative to plan out a sweet date. "Yes I am, what are we doing and where?" You were amazed when he mentioned the same aquarium you had looked at then the firework show in the ferris wheel, its like your minds were insync. However his dinner part was at his house and he was going to cook for you, this you didn't see coming.

You sound shocked "Y-you cook?" He started laughing you weren't sure at that point if he was serious or not. He softly grazed your cheek "Yes I cook, you can help me in the kitchen tonight. That is if you want to." You nod yes the idea of a man wants to cook for you when your last few boyfriends wouldn't lift a pan let alone cook with it. You couldn't wait to get this date started he reached down grabbing your hand and lacing his fingers between yours, you look up and he is smiling at you with that charming smile that takes your breath away. You follow him lucky the aquarium is only a few blocks from his art gallery, you two walk holding hands enjoying the scenery just talking about anything and everything and nothing all wrapped into one. He is so easy going you love talking to him. You get to the aquarium and its much larger than you thought it would be yet the parking lot is empty. You look to Rafayel "Is it even open?" He says nothing and pulls you towards the building as you get to the entrance the person at the door opens it up lets you two in, then you see them lock the door behind you two.

"H-how di....." He put his fingers to your lips as you started to speak. "Shhh.... Before you say anything I want you to see something special." You followed along as he walked you down a dark corridor until you walked into a room with aquariums all around you and the light from them flickering across the room. There was a stack of pillows laid in the middle of the floor and the aquarium tanks illuminating the walls with water effect. It was so romantic you had never seen anything so beautiful on land, yes it didn't compare to under the ocean however its like he brought that to you right there. He walks you over to the pillows sits down pulling you down onto his lap. He wraps his arms around you as he lets you lean back into his chest. Your able to get a good view of the beautiful fish and the reflective lighting shining across the room. "Just wow Raffy this is so beautiful... and romantic." You let the nickname you had been calling him in your head this whole time slip out and he gave you a smirk after you said it. "Raffy, huh? Already calling me pet names darling?" The way he called you darling made your heart beat so fast now.

You blushed with his words "Well it just seemed like something cute to call you, I mean in my head I been thinking about how I would call you my Raffy at some point." He chuckles "Oh its not just Raffy anymore its your Raffy... I could get used to the sound of being yours." You meet his gaze blushing hardcore not sure what to say from there. You two don't say anything for a bit just snuggle and take in how beautiful it is. Your so at peace in his arms and you honestly feel like you have known him forever, it doesn't take long for you to fall asleep against his chest as you hear his heart beat. After a small nap you wake up to him running his fingers through your hair softly, its so soothing. You look up at him he is still looking ahead at the aquariums you don't even know that he knows your awake. You softly mumble under your breath "I'm so falling for you, my sweet Raffy." He smiles looking down at you, that is when you wonder if he heard you. Your face instantly goes red and then you hear those sweet words your heart longed for. "I'm falling for you too, darling."

Your heart feels so full as he leans down kissing you on the forehead he gives you a smile then kisses your lips. You felt so content with him he had become your everything in just a short period of time. This was the best first date you had ever had. After awhile longer staying there it was nightfall outside he wanted to head to the ferris wheel so you two wouldn't miss the fireworks. After you leave there as you get to the ferris wheel there is a line of people but because Rafayel is well known everyone lets you and him go on ahead of the line. You step on with him holding your hand as the basket starts to ascend he has his arms wrapped around you. He clears his throat and looks in your eyes as he speaks. "So I know in your world everything that has happened with us so fast is frowned upon. From Lumeria once we meet the one that is our life mate we know instantly so waiting to say I love you, and get married, have kids, and so on nothing has a time line on it. If that makes sense which I hope it does. That being said I wanted to tell you this now because what will be happening soon I don't want you to be scared by human customs and know that Lumerian customs are a stronger bond to our words."

You weren't even sure what made him tell you all this however you let him talk to his hearts content, it made you feel cared for and since you were falling for him he could tell you anything at this point and you would be happy. The fireworks start shooting off he makes sure his arms are wrapped around you tight. As you watch you see this set of fireworks going off and it plainly says "Will You Marry Me, Y/N!" This was a dream it had to be you went to look over when you felt him pull away from you and he was now down on one knee with a box with a lumerian stone in the ring. You were in such awe and yet in such a beautiful daze at what was going on. His words rang loud and clear "Promise me as I will promise you, no matter if its a thousand years your mine and I'm yours. Promise you will never leave you will stay by my side forever. Be my wife from this day onwards?" He took the ring from the box and put it at the edge of your finger as he awaited your answer. Tears spilled from your eyes his words were so beautiful how could you not want to marry this man. You nod franticly as your words match "YES A Million Times YES!"

He slid the ring on your finger before lifting you up in his arms kissing your lips so softly. You had no reservations the moment he asked because he is right humans may find it fast but he isn't human and even you had a pull to him from the first day you couldn't ignore maybe that was it you were always supposed to be his. As you two held each other tight watching the rest of the firework show your tummy started to growl. You had left the house early in the day and here it was 8pm and you hadn't ate yet. After the ferris wheel went back down you two headed to his house hand in hand there was no fear of this man showing PDA in public at all and you loved it. After getting in his apartment you realize how nice it is. "Oh wow this is beautiful." He smiles at you as he leads you to a lovely kitchen.

You help him get things out as you two embark on making your first meal together. Now he can cook and at the end of it all when you two sit down to eat you realize the flavors of these foods you have never tasted before. He tells you because alot of them are from Lumeria. You enjoy a nice dinner together before you realize its late and almost time for bed, you have been yawning so much anyways. So you help clean up the dishes and as your finishing up he blurts out "Stay with me tonight?" It was so cute when your eyes met he actually looked nervous asking you there was no way you were going to turn this down because laying against his chest you slept way better anyways. He led you to the bedroom and as a freshly engaged couple he spent the next few hours making you know how much he wanted to not only satisfy you but make you happy in every way forever. After sometime of alot of intimacy he pulled you close and you two fell asleep together knowing this was the beginning of your happy ending together.

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

You were so surprised when the carriage pulled up Noah himself was right there to greet you. Lady Clairfurth glared you down as you walked towards him. She was still upset he didn't want her however its good she doesn't know the reason he doesn't want her is because he was in love with you. You were sure that if she knew she would have never let you be hired by his household, and probably would have costed you everything you do. However she made sure you had very minimal in things to take with you since most the household paid for her to use. Noah smiled at you as you walked towards him, and he had a playful look in his eyes. He held his hand out for you helping you up into the carriage, the feeling of your hand in his as you stepped up inside was so nice. He had captured your heart so fast there was no way you were about to give him up. He bowed to the Clairfurth family and then climbed in across from you in the carriage. As the horses neigh, and you start to move you knew life was changing for you with every sound of the rocks crunching under you as you head towards your new home.

After you were out of sight from the Clairfurth household he moved over beside you gripping your hand in his. You look down and see his long fingers intertwining with yours as he pulls it to his lips kissing the top of your hand. "Y/N I'm so happy we have a long ride back, I want you in my arms as much as I can have." You felt him pulling you into his arms while he never lets go of your hand. Your head laying against his chest, you can hear his heart beat as you close your eyes. You get up the nerve you softly whisper as your head is still laying against him. "I love you Noah, with all my heart." You hear him chuckle as he tilts your head up towards his face, you see a soft smile come across his face. Then your world stopped when his words were so full of love "You had my heart the night I met you." you got lost in his eyes the moment he said those words you crashed your lips into his. You and Noah shared the most passionate kiss yet, with every ounce of your hearts poured into this moment.

When you finally broke away there were tears in your eyes, he gently reached up wiping them from your face. "You 're too beautiful to cry, my love." You giggled at his words although those words warm your heart. In this moment you wish it would be easy to run away together however with him being the duke there was no way of skipping out on that. However you plan to stay by him through everything and support him no matter what comes your way. There was no way you could let him go now, he was everything you could have ever wanted in a partner and the way he makes you feel you were sure you would never find that with anyone else. He pulled you back into his arms and you fell asleep right there, he softly rubbed your head running his fingers through your hair. As you fall into a deep slumber he leans down kissing your forehead.

When you get to his families home you woke up in his arms, as he is carrying you out of the carriage towards the house. You couldn't believe he was taking the chance of people thinking something is there between you two. You continued to pretend you were asleep however every so often you had to peek and see him as he walked strong into his home and no one questioned once why he was carrying you. He had so much authority no one dare insinuated it being more than a simple servant that fell asleep from the long ride. He took you to your room you would be staying in, as he carried you over to the bed and laid you down on it, you opened your eyes. Your gaze met his and his eyes sparkled with so much love and endearment in them. As he had already gone to pull away when he had stood back up instead you put your hand on his pulling him back into you. Your lips collided again as you both closed your eyes taking in that moment like many other secret moments you two will have and already have had. "Get some rest, I will see you later on. I promise to come see you before bed every night even if we don't always see each other through the day." Those tender words he spoke made it easy to close your eyes back and fall into slumber.

Days turned into weeks. Your nights were filled with him coming to your chambers and covering you and kisses. He would tell you about his day and you would tell him you support him along the way. This may be the only way you can be together for now but at least you have each other. He tells you about his brother and how difficult he can be, as you tell him how tough it is being a maid. The list goes on all the things you two have come to talk about in your nightly talks. The night always ends with his sweet kisses and he holds you in his arms until you fall asleep. Most night he skips out and heads back to his room however some nights you're more clingy and he gets stuck staying in arms reach til almost morning light. It is always hard to let him go, you wish you could lay in his bed with him without worrying about who sees you two, however its not that easy. Maybe one day you two will have that kind of love but for now every moment with him means the world to you.

After weeks of these nights together and when you two pass each other in the hallways you both always find ways to make small gestures touching each others fingers, or bumping in to one another. No matter what it is these little moments let you know he thinks about you all the time as he knows its the same for you. You see him around during the day and the hardest part is not being able to kiss him and be in his arms as much as you would like. His brother was starting to get suspicious at how much attention that Noah showed to only you. One day you came back to your room and there sat a person sitting at the window at first you thought it was Noah. You ran to his side "My love, I didn't exp....." As your words stopped when his brother turned around and you realized its not Noah. You felt like you messed things up in that moment because you had just called who you thought was Noah, my love, when you were just supposed to be a simple maid. He started to laugh and with a somewhat evil glint in his eyes he looked at you and laughed harder. "I knew it, my brother is screwing the help." His words sounded so cold and heartless and then you started thinking what if this is all it ever would be, even though you two had not been intimate in that way his brother was claiming.

He bowed his head at you "Y/N, Let me introduce myself to you. I'm Noah's brother Siathrich Nurial Chamers you will call me your highness, the current king, and this is my home." As you are having your little talk with the current king word got around to Noah that he was visiting you, he rushes to your side to support you and what you both might face against his half brother. As Noah walks in the room he doesn't hesitate he walks over to you standing in front of his brother and grips you hand in his like this was normal. His brother grins "So this is what my big brother is up to, instead of choosing a wife your playing with the maid. Shame on you." His voice sounded incredibly sinister in away like he was all about destroying everything you two had built. Noah stepped in front of you between his brother staring back at you. "You will no longer address her, anything you have to say it goes through me." His words were so valiant and you could feel the love in his words as they rolled off his tongue.

You put your hand on Noah's arm "Please don't turn against your family because of me. I will leave if I am causing issues." He turned back to you putting his hand to your cheek in such a tender way you gasped. " I will die before I let you go, before I give you up." His words were truly a dedication of how much he loved you, as tears well up in your eyes you realize this is nothing what his brother thought. This was love and both of you were absolutely in love with each other with every breath you take as does he. You know your heart will choose him over and over again, as does his heart only beats for you. He set his brother straight that king or not he refused to stand by him if he can't make the woman he wants his wife. His brother seemed to find it funny however he was just playing a game. He even admitted as we supported each other that he grew bored and needed to go find himself a new play toy. You watch his brother walk out and hope this is the last time that you two have to worry about him trying to come between you.

As the door shuts behind his brother Noah grabs you pulling into you engulfing your soft lip within his own. He held you much tighter than usual he honestly was afraid he was going to lose you, and you could see the fear in his eyes. As you looked up at him you were sure you saw it and then the light caught the tears streaming down his face. He looked like he was afraid of shattering without you. This was the first time you had seen a man look at you like this, that would declare dying before losing you, and that would shed tears over the possible loss of not having you in his life. You reached up wiping his tears as you softly kiss his lips. As you pull away from the kiss you lean your forehead against his, no words are needed in that moment. Your hearts were speaking for the both of you with out another thing said. For the rest of the day Noah didn't leave your side, he held you while he read a book to you until you fell asleep in his arms. This night he didn't go back to his room he stayed with you all night falling asleep together.

As the next morning the sun shined in the window, you yawned as you heard the door creek open looking up realizing it was the head of the maids. She had come to find you since you didn't show up like the rest did. The moment she noticed Noah in your bed, she apologized profusely and excused herself pretty fast. That was when you looked back noticing he was still snuggled up against you and asleep without a shirt on. You looked away your cheeks flushed rosy pink and grew hot. This was the first time you had seen any skin under his clothing and although you wanted to look you didn't feel it was appropriate. His look as he was asleep and half dressed with drool down the side of his face this was a memory you would never forget. He may be a duke but he is just like any other man who falls in love, he isn't perfect but he is perfect for you. You pushed the hair back off his face to look at him as he slept so peaceful. You decide to lay back against him, this time you slide you night dress off your shoulders so some of your skin is bare. You make sure it makes contact with his skin as you close your eyes and breathe softly taking it in. This is the first time you have been skin to skin but you wanted to be close in every way with this man. You fell back asleep in such a vulnerable state.

After a few hours later you woke up to him kissing the bare skin of your arm, the one you exposed earlier. You gasped and his reaction made you quieten down. "Shhhh, just take the moment in, let me keep being close to you." You closed your eyes as he kissed your lips so tenderly as he moved down to the corners of your mouth. His lips moved their way down your ears and neck before working down to your collarbone. His declaration he started saying as he kissed across your collarbone up to your bare shoulder. "I never want to be parted from you again. I want to become one with you." Soon as those words rang in your ears they hit your heart just as fast. You realized what he wanted and you would not deny this man that intimacy when you never want to deny him anything. You have wanted that closeness that obviously even after kissing isn't enough. He spent the next hour kissing every inch of you, tasting your sweetness. He made love to you and this took your love for one another to a new level of happiness and love. There was no going back from this, you belonged to him and he to you.

After a long love making session you both got up knowing things needed to change today, and Noah confessed there was a ball that night and he wanted to stop hiding. He declared he wanted to tell the world, his brother and more. He was done hiding with the woman he loved, and his own words no one would come between you two. He made sure the servants brought you the most loveliest dress because tonight you weren't going as help but as the duke's lover and heart. Come that evening you hadn't seen Noah since earlier in the day and you missed him like crazy. He had sent some maids to come help you get ready when it was time for the ball. You were amazed how lovely they had made you and couldn't wait to show off to Noah. You were escorted to the ball room and as you got to the stair way Noah walked out to take your hand and escort you the rest of the way.

The moment he saw you though he couldn't stop smiling as he walked over taking your hand. He leaned in whispering in your ear "You look stunning my love, I love you." You couldn't help but smile as his breath tickles your bare neck. Your words were just as soft. "I love you very much darling, and you are the most handsome man here." He chuckles as you walk out onto the dance floor with him, no one would even know you were a maid in this moment. You looked as noble as the rest of the women there. So many looked upon you envious of your love, it wasn't hard to look at Noah and realize he was crazy in love with you and sees no other woman in the room but you. He bowed before you and took you in his arms as he led you across the dance floor with him. He couldn't take his eyes off of you and before you knew it you realized everyone disappeared besides you two. You were so caught up in the moment when the music stopped you weren't ready for it. Then Noah looked to everyone and made an announcement that you weren't expecting. He said with so much confidence. "I will not let title, birth right, woman, man, or even the king tell me I can't be with the woman I love. To prove this today I make a declaration of love."

The whole room was captivated by him and even you were curious what he was going to do. Then right in the middle of the dance floor he gets down on one knee. You gasped at the sight then looked all around the room then your eyes settled back on his face. He continued his speech. "I love you darling, Y/N you have had my heart the moment I first met you. I know now my life was not complete until you became the love of my life. Do me the pleasure of leaving the world behind you know, and stand by myside forever. Will you marry me?" Tears started to stream down your face as you looked down he was holding the most beautiful ring ready to place it on your finger. You giggled a bit then put your hand out to him "Yes, my love I want nothing more than to be your lover, friend, and wife. I love you and I will support, care, and love you til my last breath." He picked you up in his arms as your lips softly collided as if a way to say your life is going to be a challenge but as long as you both stand by love, and support each other the world can never come between you two.

Chapter 2

Chapter 1

You were sitting out on a bench because the parties were just never your thing and you were only there as a lady in waiting anyways. Then this man walked up to you and he spoke. His raspier deep voice gave you chills and when you looked back at him he was the most beautiful man you had ever seen before. His dark hair blowing in the soft wind and he had a mischievous look on his face but there was no way you thought your life would be the same after meeting him. You had known about Duke Wynknight but had never seen him so it was easy still being yourself. He sat down beside you and you both talked for awhile about how you both hated being around fake people. He smiled at you and you felt like your heart was going to stop. You couldn't believe a man so attractive would be interested in you especially since you were really a nobody. You wondered if he had any noble blood in him but after chatting and looking at the moon together you get that out of your mind. After some time you heard someone running out calling for the duke and when Noah turned around your heart sank. This man that you took a liking to was so untouchable to your status you found yourself looking down at the ground as he goes and talks to the person.

He comes back after sitting back down next to you. "I want to see you again, is that ok? If so what is your name and what household are you from?" He was asking to see you again and that made you happy however when he asked you your name of your household this is where he was sure to lose interest in you. You stand up and bow before him "Your grace, I would love that but I am nothing and no one to your nobility, just a lady in waiting." He chuckled as he took you by the hand standing up beside you as he pulled you closer "Maybe that is why your different but also why I want to see you again, please. You know my name is Noah so please your name?" You know your not supposed to down talk to nobility you should have never denied him your name this could get back to the house you live in and cost you to be kicked out. You bow "I'm sorry your grace, I should have never denied you. My name is Y/N I am the lady in waiting for Lady Clairfurth family." He took your hand and kissed it then excused himself to head back to the party. He left you with the parting words "I will be in touch Y/N, thank you for a lovely chat this evening." You felt your cheeks grow warm and your heart beat fast, there was something about him you really wanted to know more. What had Duke Wynknight done to you already.

You headed back inside of course you got reprimanded for being away too long. You had to take care of every one of Lady Clairfurth's needs the rest of the night and every so often your eyes darted across the room to Noah. At one point your eyes met and he mouthed "You Look Beautiful" he made you blush. Every time you caught him looking your way you felt yourself get flustered yet again. You walked over to get the lady a drink and he met you at the table. He said in a low voice "I can't stop thinking about you" your heart was beating so fast hearing his words. He let his hand fall down beside him and grazes your hand the tips of your fingers as he looks back over at you and smiles. You had no idea how to respond to him and you were afraid someone might see. "Will you meet me outside for a dance before the night is over?" He smiled after asking what was a simple request and you wanted to so much but you looked over at Lady Clairfurth and knew there was no way after being reprimanded last time. You bow before him "I wish your grace but I will be punished if I disappear again." You pull your hand back and get the drink and walk back to the lady. The small gestures he makes warms your heart and you know if he keeps treating you like this there will never be room in your heart for no one but him.

That night came to a end, you were sure you would never be that close to the duke ever again after that. You spent your days taking care of the lady but after a few days you heard there was a guest at the house. You looked out the window and saw him, he looked more dashing as ever and he had a bouquet of flowers with him. Your cheeks burned hot they were surely flushed red but you made sure to sort what you were wearing to look your best then headed out the door down stairs. You got to the room that the guests are sent to and you grabbed some tea and walked into the room to give you a reason to talk to him. Soon as you walked in you saw Lady Clairfurth leaning into him like she was going to kiss him when you saw this you dropped the tea set shattering it across the floor. His eyes met yours as he could see you misinterpreted what was happening. Lady Clairfurth started yelling at you for breaking it screaming to clean it all up. The tears you were fighting back as you picked up the pieces as he went to walk over to help you, pulling back from him is what you did but not before you looked up into his face and he saw the tears trailing down your face as you excused yourself and walked out of the room.

You were so sure the small gestures meant something to him but then again who would want you when they could have Lady Clairfurth, she was practically breathtaking with her lovely blonde locks and porcelain skin no one tells her no. She has 5 marriage proposals now and yet she wants the duke too it seems, its not good enough for you to have one for yourself but then you remind yourself as the tears fall on your way back to the kitchen, you are a no one and he is a duke. It really just never could be. You put the dishes in the trash wiped your tears sorted your clothes then went back to go see if she was in need of anything else even though you didn't want to see them snuggled up on the couch. Soon as you step foot back into the hallway he is pulling away from her telling her he is not interested in marrying her. Your heart fluttered at the idea that he was someone who really didn't want her when no one turns her down.

She threw a tantrum which she was known to do when she didn't get her way. She stomped off and he turned and only you were standing there. You wanted to hug him but you knew you couldn't but like any other time he found away. He looks at you and asked you to show him out so you got his coat and as you helped him put it on he reached through the coat touching your hand underneath the sleeve. You knew you weren't making up this connection between you two even though it shouldn't be these gestures make you happy. He kept his hand in the second sleeve a little longer so he can rub his fingers over yours before you met him with a smile. His caress was making your heart feel like it was going to burst. You felt like your heart needed more, like your heart wanted more of Noah Wynknight. You bow to him as he leaves as he gives you that mischievous smirk.

After you go check on the lady like you are supposed to do. You find you can't get Noah's gestures and smile out of your mind. When night came and you closed your eyes he was all you could think about. You couldn't believe you were falling for him when your worlds were so far apart, who would let a lady in waiting be with a duke. Was this a lost route to take to end up heart broken in the end but yet you just can't stop yourself. Any moment you feel like you should pull away he makes these little gestures that captures another part of your heart. You tossed and turned in bed that night you finally got up and got yourself dressed and walked out to the gardens. You slowly walked through looking up at the moon daydreaming about him, he was all that was on your mind. Then your dream came through, you heard someone walk up behind you. "Y/N, I had to see you wasn't sure how but I was about to leave thinking I was crazy when I saw you out here." It melted your heart as he said these words that you both were having sleepless nights over wanting to see one another. He put out his hand and you took hold of it as he pulled you into him under the pale moonlight.

His arms wrapped around you, it wasn't hard to feel like you were home in them. Every second that you feel his heart beat you know that you would take anything you could get because you knew there was no way there would be never another besides this man to hold your heart. You looked up at him and you were captivated by him as he captured your lips in his while he held you tighter. He kissed you deep and passionate until you both had to come up for air. His smile met yours as he pulled away he cleared his throat. "I'm going to purchase you as a worker for a maid in my home a personal one. You won't be a lady in waiting but we can sneak more nights like this and see each other more. You would like that right?" You couldn't help but smile you wanted to be close to him even if it meant you were going to have to clean and do more labor than you do as a lady in waiting. This buys you two time until you figure out how to be together and society leave you both to be happy.

You look at him and hug him tightly "I want that, I want to be closer to you as much as I can, Noah." This is when you knew you two became something more you had always called him your grace and the first moment you called him Noah and he smiled widely he was happy you called him by name. He had a flirty personality which is why you were sure why he constantly wanted to touch you or hold you and you were ok with that. He loved that you weren't like all the noble women that made him sick and you wanted to be loved by like you were enough for some one to never want another. There was no doubt he wanted you as you did him and you were sure your heart was completely his. The night had to end with him leaving and you breaking from his arms which you hated but it had to happen. You went to sleep with the taste of his lips on yours, but lost in the happiness feeling. The next morning you woke up to a knock on your door. They had set everything up and Noah had already got things in motion so they were getting you very minimal of stuff that was yours but they had called for a carriage from the Wynknight's household to pick you up. Starting today your life was going to be different.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You sat in the corner at a cute little local café enjoying your favorite espresso with the perfect amount of whipped milk topping it. You had the perfect set up, your coffee, your phone but of course it was on mute since you didn't want to be bothered. You also had a book with you about a lover and chance meeting and you were captivated into this happy ending love story. You had a beautiful window showing as people walk by in your quiet corner and everyone is bustling on the other side of the room. You settled down and started reading where you left off, about half way through the book. After sometime you reached down pulling the hot espresso to your lips and taking a good sip letting out a soft satisfied sigh.

You then are startled when you hear a very gentle sounding voice. "That is a pretty good book, I like it too." Your book tumbles from your hand hitting the coffee spilling it down the front of you. Caught you off as the heat from the coffee hit your leg you jumped up and caught your foot on the chair and you felt yourself falling back until you felt warm strong arms wrapping around you saving you from the last of your fumble. As you look up your met with this very attractive man with chestnut brown hair and beautiful shining eyes back at you that you could easily drown in. He chuckled as he helped you to your feet. "T-Thank you. Um... I'm Y/N and you are?" You were trying to direct to try to avoid all the awkwardness that just happened. He smiled and leaned in wiping the milk mustache off my lip, the thoughts of more embarrassment had you blushing in seconds feeling his finger touch you like that. "My name is Hayato Ozaki. I'm head of Fukurou its a pleasure."

You sigh mumbling under the breath, "Great I'm I look like an idiot coffee down my dress, falling all over you and milk all over my face in front of an attractive man, oh what you must think of me now." You were sure you messed this encounter up royally until he lifted your chin up after you had already looked down. He pulled your chin up towards him and shook his head inches away from your lips. "When I see something I like, well I want it. I'm just sorry I startled you this is my fault. I will buy you the book again and your dress as well. Let me treat you maybe to a date to make up for this?" You are taken back by his words however you couldn't help but smile and blush a bit, he was so handsome who wouldn't want to date him. You nodded and agreed, he gave you the information of where to meet him at later. You rushed home waving to him with a smile to get ready.

You walked in the door even though your dress was stained with coffee that would probably never come out you had such a big smile on your face. Your cat Tiny wondered over rubbing against you, as you bent down to rub him you told him all about the encounter meeting and that maybe you and Hayato was like the book chance meeting that could be the beginning of a epic happily ever after book. You jumped in the shower to get cleaned up with throwing the dress away, wasn't a favorite anyways. You dug through your closet trying on one thing after another while Tiny sat on the bed washing his fluffy white fur, you were modeling for him. After a hour you ended up deciding with a dress that could be casual but was still a little dressy if he wanted to go somewhere a little pricier.

You show up at the restaurant and he was standing in front of it looking dashing in his casual clothes which made you feel more comfortable since you weren't some noble or fancy girl so a high class restaurant probably would be more awkward moments. As you walk up to him he pulls out a gift and hands it to you with a warm smile. "This is to make up for earlier, I wanted you to get to the end....." he whispers "Its my favorite part." You meet his smile with your own, your heart fluttering as you open it and realize its not only the same book but a first edition. With a shocked loop across your face you look up to him. "Oh, I can't take this it is a first edition this must have been expensive. I mean thank you though." You tried to hand him back but he wouldn't let you, he refused to take something he gifted to you.

He put his hand out for you to take and as you did he slid his fingers into your grasp, his hand was nice with warmth radiating off it but this made you happy. Without thinking you blurted out, "Be careful you keep doing this kind of stuff and you might have me falling for you." Catching yourself at the very end surprised you decided to be so bold it really was something you wanted to say in your head and only in your head yet now he heard it too. He gave you a small wink, "Who said I hadn't already fell for you and was waiting for you to fall to so I could catch you like I did at the coffee shop." You stood there in a daze you couldn't fathom someone saying that especially to you, in your mind you were nobody special yet here he is making you feel like your the heroine in your book being swept off your feet by a chance encounter.

Your cheeks were rosy red after that statement you bit your bottom lip not sure how to respond, he understood completely and like a gentleman walked you in to the restaurant still holding your hand. He was so outspoken with his thoughts you had never met anyone like him, and the intense way he looks at you its not hard to see yourself falling hard for this man. He was already tugging at your heart more than you imagined. He pulled out your seat even though it wasn't a fancy place he still was a gentleman enough to do this and make you feel respected, cared for and a lady. Dinner was nice, the conversation smoothly flowed and he understood things about you that most never do. Your heart felt so full with being with him, this was a fairytale of your own unfolding in front of you and Hayato was your prince.

When the meal was done and paid for he took your hand walking you out to the back garden of this restaurant and it as lit up with lights on each side. He walked you to a gazebo and helped you step up without falling. The night breeze was a bit chilly and as you sat down next to him he could tell you were trembling so he wrapped his jacket around you and pulled you close for his body heat to keep you warm. The starry sky was beautiful and could be seen so well from in his arms you found yourself nuzzling into him and he held you tighter. This chance encounter brought you the most amazing man and you knew now that you were falling hard for him and were excited where every day after this would take you. After the soft quietness and him holding you in the night under the lit gazebo, he broke the quiet sound with a different tone to his voice.

"I need to tell you something, I am part of the Yashiro family, I was put in an arranged marriage however my father said if I found love before the day I am to marry he will release me and let me marry who I choose. I know its sudden but I have a good feeling about you." He got down on one knee right there in the gazebo. His words ringing loud and clear as he looked up at you holding your hand. "Will you do me the honor of being my wife? Let me shower you with my love everyday we are together." Although you were still shocked he was noble blood but not only that but he wanted you. He was proposing and everything in your mind screamed no, somehow your heart made it to your mouth first. "Although, I'm not sure what our future will bring, I barely know you yet my heart tells me I should trust you. So my answer is YES, I want to marry you, I want to be yours and maybe have our own happily ever after." No sooner than you said what you wanted he lifted you up in his arms lifting you over his head. He slowly lowered you until your lips met, your eyes closed taking in the moment and the rest was history...you two were made for each other all because of a chance encounter you met the love of your life.

THE END!
