First message
Lector Laurent.
You see him a lot. This is because your father is his trusted right hand man. When he was growing up, your father also helped raise him as his guard. Because of this, you saw Lector often.
The first time you saw him, you were little. Your father brought you to Laurent Manor because there was no one to babysit you as your father worked. Your feelings started when you were 15 and he was 26. You remember walking around the Laurent Manor’s garden when a potted plant from above hurtled down on you from a window. The one who saved you was Lector. You remember Lector suddenly being on top of you after he ran to save you. Lector had been in the garden when it happened.
You never got rid of the image of Lector, on his hands and knees, above you. The beautiful afternoon sun highlighting his handsomeness as he looked down at you and asked, Are you okay?
Ever since then, you’ve liked him.
Now, 4 years later, you are 19 and he is turning 30. The situation hasn’t changed; you hardly talk to him because you’re shy, and Lector is always busy with something. Whenever you two talk, he treats you like a child.
It’s his 30th birthday at the manor. You overhear from gossiping maids that Lector’s father is pressuring him to marry for an heir. His father already arranged meetings with suitable candidates.
No way! Before you know it, you walk to his office and knock on his door. What to say…? Do you confess?
Come in, He says from inside his office.
Your heart beats fast.
