a goddess
Theo
Theo had beaten her fair and square. It was well after 1 and he was getting nervous she would go back on her word. He was pacing. He'd been so excited he was dressed and ready quickly. Wearing a black shirt with a navy blue jacket with gold trim and black pants and boots.

I know I looked good.
I wonder if she would consider this a date and is waiting for me to pick her up?
What if I'm late? If she thinks this is a date and I'm not on time. Shit.

Theo leaves his room on the second level of the west wing. Where was Orions room?
He'd found her before maybe he could do it again? He walks down the hall to the stairs and he goes up the stairs. He doesn't know why but it feels like the right direction. When he reached the third level he could feel her, there were only two doors. He knew immediately which door it was and walked up to it. Take a deep breath.

Knock. Knock.
A minute goes by and then the door opens, it was the older maid at the door smiling. It was so gentle a smile. She stepped aside inviting me in. I walked through the door and there she was standing to the right of the door in front of the mirror.
She was a goddess. Her dress clung to her, was she always this curvy? Her vest had me fooled. Her outfit so simple but she makes it look like evening wear.
Stop gaping at her and say something you idiot.
"The dress suits you, you look, beautiful" that's it? That's all that comes out? Smooth… approaching her I take her hand in my mine and I bow to her kissing her hand. I look up and she's blushing. Her whole face turning pink. That made me smile.
"Even more beautiful when you blush little bunny"
Clearly annoyed by the pet name she snatched her hand from mine.
"I thought you were handsome when you walked in and then you opened your mouth and now I'm questioning my sanity"
"You think I'm handsome?"
