Tyra
Socially Awkward Jelly Bean
Timothy slowly made it to his feet and walked over to Amber. There was a long silence that followed until finally he took a deep breath. Reaching out, if Amber would let him, he would pull her close into his own arms. It was awkward of course, for Timothy hadn't allowed himself to embrace another in decades. "I'm sorry I snapped at you...," he apologized quietly in her ear then immediately pulled away. Heading for the door, he opened it and nodded to her, signaling it was the time to leave. "It's already getting late. You should get some rest... I shall see you tomorrow morning bright and early," he stated, trying to ignore the scenario that had just happened. However, he couldn't stop the slight redness that visited his cheeks, if only for a few moments. Really, Timothy didn't know what to think of his own actions. He thought he felt some emotion stir, but it had been so long that he'd felt such an emotion, he didn't know what to make of it.
Jennifer sadly took his hand and stepped down from the carriage, her shoes clicking against the stone walkway. Slowly they made their way up the steps to the giant front doors where they stopped. Alexander, being the gentleman, opened the door for her, but she didn't step through. Even as he said goodnight, she didn't enter, for she was deep in thought. Turning to face him, her large pale blue eyes searched his face, seeming to look for something. Her eyes soon met his and she gazed into them, as if caught in a trance. She couldn't seem to pull away. The moonlight reflected in them in such a beautiful way. She only wished he was still smiling. Oh how his laughter had made her feel so light inside. She had never heard him laugh before so when he had at the party, it had been such an exciting experience knowing she had actually...made him happy.
Sheer emotion filled the young serf's heart, one that she could no longer hold back. Her heart swelled with it, beating fast and furiously. Was it..? Could it be...? Before she knew it, Jenny felt herself leaning forward, as if being guided by some invisible force. Deep inside, her whole being seemed to say, "Don't ignore it any longer...just let it go..." The carriage had already gone; it was late and all the other serfs had already gone to bed. They were completely alone with only the moon as a light source. Reaching out before Alexander had time to think, the black haired girl would softly try and grasp his collar in an attempt to pull his face close to hers. Ever so tenderly, her lips would then brush against his in a gentle kiss. It was very brief, however, for Jennifer soon after got a hold of herself. "G-goodnight, Master Alexander...," she whispered before dashing into the mansion. What had she just done? Had she signed her own death sentence? Would he now feel that he had to get rid of her for such an action?? Would he send her back to that torturous plantation? Jennifer didn't have time to dwell upon these thoughts, for all she could think about was getting out of his presence. She had no idea how he would react...she didn't even know if she could handle herself after what had just happened.
