Henrietta Claes

Oh that? That's the silence of damns given.

0 · 366 views · located in Anime

a character in “Forged Marriage”, originally authored by Layla, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Name: Henrietta Claes

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Personality: To put it bluntly, Henrietta doesn't give a crap. She doesn't care if you arrange her marriage and she doesn't care if you're a wonderfully great man who's rather perfect. Either way, she's a little too lost in herself to really give you a second thought. At best, she lacks compassion.

Henrietta is tough and independent. She sees no reason to have a man in her life or anyone at all, really. Due to the way she was raised as a child, Henrietta can be quite violent and volatile. She's short tempered and her rage often results in injuries towards inanimate objects, others and herself.

Her sense of humour is dark and sarcastic.

Bio: Raised by a father who wanted a son and a mother who'd divorced from her husband when Henrietta was 3 - Henrietta has had a rather unusual upbringing. Her father taught her to hunt, ride horses, use a bow and arrow and solve disputes with her fists. She was somewhat of a tomboy as a young girl. Her father - who's name was Jose - was the drummer in a rock band. Being the daughter he'd never wanted, Henrietta was made to learn an assortment of instruments of her father's choice. Including but not limited to: Electric guitar, bass, drums, electric violin and of course, singing.

As Henrietta matured, she was finally allowed to grow out her hair - her father had always snipped it into a bob previously. With long and silky apricot hair and bright blue eyes, Henrietta was quite the beauty. She grew curves and there was nothing her father could do about it. He'd finally realised she was a woman and being the money loving man he was - decided to sell her off to be someone's wife.

Likes: Punk rock, alternative rock, skate boarding, singing, playing her instruments, getting into fights.

Dislikes: Idiots, classical music, non-electric violins, girly girls

Paired Partner: N/A

Pic: Image
Henrietta has 3 piercings on the earlobes of both her ears, as well as 2 cartilage piercings on each. She wears an assortment of metal jewellery and her clothes are quite revealing but very "punk" in nature. She has tattoos of birds flying over her shoulder as shown below:

So begins...

"Oh, hell no!" Henrietta screamed, picking up the intricate,white wedding gownand throwing it back into it's pretty packaged box. Firstly, she hated stupid, girly dresses. Secondly, she didn't like being sold for money and thirdly, she didn't need anyone. What was the point in marriage, anyway? It was a ridiculous concept.

"Just do it, Retta," her father said. Jose was a selfish bastard. "You know I'm in a lot of debt. Help you old pa out, won't you?"

"Oh yeah? Says the man who wanted a son! You practically raised me as one and now you want me to wear a stupid dress and sell my body?" she retaliated, making Jose flinch. The middle aged man ran a hand through his spiked, dyed black hair.

"Don't say that. You're not 'selling your body.' You're just... Marrying." He looked away, embarrassed.

"You can't even look me in the eye," Henrietta hissed, turning to the mirror. "Get out."

When her father left, Henrietta pulled her cropped top roughly over her head and shimmied out of her tight leather pants. She reached under the packaged box distastefully and pulled out a beautiful but annoyingly frilly white lingerie set. She unsnapped her bra and crawled out of her panties, changing into the feminine "articles of clothing." More like strips of cloth, she mused. Slipping on the wedding gown, she found it fit her perfectly. It hugged her small waist and emphasised her full chest. The white dress tapered down and flared out into folds of white skirts at her hips. She glared at her reflection in the floor length mirror. She looked beautiful - but Henrietta didn't care about beauty. Pearls, roses and ribbons hugged her figure, giving her an air of quiet elegance. She slipped on the long gloves and cursed her father.

Henrietta raked a comb through her wavy, hip-length apricot hair. Having flawlessly smooth, pearly skin, thick and curled eyelashes, a small, upturned nose and full, red lips meant Henrietta didn't need makeup. Good riddance, because she couldn't be bothered. Henrietta was slim, but she was blessed with an hourglass body, meaning she "filled out" front and back.

Henrietta considered typing her hair but but decided - nah, I can't be bothered. Maybe my 'fiancé' will find me too ugly to marry. She tucked a spare white rose behind her ear and walked out the door. She reluctantly slipped on the strappy white stilettos. Henrietta didn't have a car and she was too pissed to let her father drive her to The Fountain.

Ah, screw it.

Picking up her skateboard, Henrietta stepped on it and went, her skirts and hair flying behind her. She felt free. People stared - it was a strange sight, seeing a bride skateboard - but Henrietta didn't care. When she arrived at the fountain, it was to dozens of people. She was smiling now, with the rush of riding on her skateboard. Surprisingly, she wasn't sweating and not a hair was out of place. Henrietta looked as perfect as if she'd just stepped out of a cooled limo.

Stepping off her skateboard she made sure to wear the grumpiest face possible. It was time for her to meet the rich, stupid or desperate idiot who'd paid Henrietta's father for her hand in marriage.

"I mean no offense, Dad, but..." Benjamin just received his brown tuxedo as he spoke with a nervous tone. "What if we don't like each other?"

His father smiled at him. "Then at least I have tried. Although, seeing that Henrietta enjoys music, I'm certain I did a somewhat successful job with the chemistry part."

"Why did you arrange this, anyway?"

"Because I know how much of a hard time you have had when it came to relationships and finding the right young lady. Perhaps with this marriage, you can forget about those break-ups. Just remember to be loyal and loving, as detailed in the Bible."

The young man nodded. "I'll do that, surely, though I am not positve on whether that will make a difference with her."

"Again..." The middle aged man placed a hand on his shoulder. "I did my best." The alarm clock on Ben's father's cell phone sounded off briefly. "It's time. You have your driving license?"

"Yes, sir."

"Alright. You know where to meet her."

Benjamin did not have any sort of fancy vehicle, just a truck he uses as part of his job for a landscape company. His family was not rich, yet they were not poor, either. Ben's father did not even realize how greedy Henrietta's father was when the two men arranged the marriage. Thus, Benjamin did not yet know how much drama could occur.

When he got close enough to the trail leading to the fountain, he parked his Ford vehicle and walked the rest of the way. Once at the fountain, he noticed the girl and recognized her as Henrietta. Well, she's not exactly enthusiastic about this, either. He rolled his eyes. What a surprise... With an expressionless face, he walked towards her. Once he got close enough, his eyes looked to his left side, he honestly did not know what to expect.

"Henrietta, right?" His hands stayed in his pockets. "Look, I don't like this arrangement, either. I didn't even have a say in it. So, if you were planning on chewing me out over that, I'd appreciate it if you didn't."

"Henrietta, right?" Siren's intense blue eyes bore into those of light brown. She raised a perfectly arched eyebrow, the only indication she could be bothered to give the young man.

"Look, I don't like this arrangement, either. I didn't even have a say in it. So, if you were planning on chewing me out over that, I'd appreciate it if you didn't."

Henrietta tucked her skateboard under a tree and stood in front of the light haired boy, hands on her small waist. "You must be my mysterious fiancé. Wonderful. Let us make 6 cute babies and die together on our front porch when we're 92," she commented sarcastically. For such a sweet looking girl with a voice of pure honey, Henrietta's personality was clearly far from sugared. Looking up at the boy who was almost a head taller than her, Henrietta curled a lock of his light brown hair around her slim fingers. "And what's your name, my one true love?"

Taking both his hands from his pockets, Henrietta wrapped them around her her curved hips and tucked hands right over her butt. She beamed and tilted her head to the side, exposing her pale neck and causing strands of her apricot hair to fall over her eyes. The mischievous girl hooked her arms around the back of the boy's neck. Her lips of rose tilted upwards in a cheeky smile, causing the dimple on the left side of her cheek to sink in. In a sultry, breathless voice, she whispered, "Let's look like we're having the time of our lives and piss these newbie couple off, shall we?"

Nibbling on his earlobe, Henrietta moaned loudly. "Oh, baby, I love you, too!" Snuggling her head in the crook of her fiancé's neck to disguise her laughter, Henrietta pressed her body tighter against his.

If life throws you lemons, make apricot milkshake and leave the world wondering how you did it. I'm going to have the time of my life, you dumb lemons.

Benjamin looked in Henrietta's direction when she made a sarcastic remark. "Were you even listening to a word I...?" Before he could complete his query, the girl already curled a lock of his hair. Is she trying to get on my nerves or something? He was not dumb, he could guess at what was going on. When asked for his name, he replied with, "Benjamin."

He did not put up any resistance when Henrietta pulled his hands out of his pockets. What is she doing? His face turned red when his hands were placed on the girl's butt. What the heck? This is... errotic... The young man immediately placed his hands on her back, right before he heard her speak as if she was consumed by lust but in reality suggested angering the other couples by putting up a show.

Benjamin did not do a thing except let out a soft "Ow..." the moment his ear was nibbled. He did not know what to make of the whole situation. He even went so far as to roll his eyes and saracastly think in his head, You really did your best, huh, Dad?

Resting her fingers on the three piercings on her earlobe and the two on her cartilage, she laughed. "Bet I'm the baddest badass bride within 50 miles." Kissing his neck, she whispered, "Relax, Ben. You're acting like I'm a troll trying to sit on your eggs."

Pulling back, she gave him her most flirtatious smile, knowing her dimple would sink in in the most adorable way. Siren wasn't a girly girl in the least. Hell, she skateboarded to her own wedding - but she definitely knew how to use her female parts to get what she wanted. Taking his hand in hers, she walked backwards to the fountain. Henrietta suddenly flipped him around and straddled him as he sat on the edge of the flowing water. It definitely wasn't the most lady-like thing to do in a wedding gown but what did she care.

Her goal was to make everyone feel as uncomfortable as possible.

She gave the nearest man - other than Benjamin - a wink. Henrietta considered giving his cute little fiancee one, too, but decided girls could have a classy slap on the ass. Chuckling at her own humour, she turned back to Benjamin, tucking her soft blonde hair behind her ear. "So, what do you like to do? Your daddy made you marry a nice young woman to keep you in line?" she asked, flashing him two rows of pearly white teeth. "To be completely honest, love, I don't think I was the best choice."

"Oh stop it, sweetheart! I know I'm the greatest woman to walk the Earth but you didn't have to flatter me. Ben, you naughty boy. Of course I'm wearing amazingly uncomfortable lingerie that I would love for someone to take off. Hahaha!"

So maybe subtlety wasn't her greatest strength.

Benjamin stood confused about Henrietta's intentions as she made her flirtatious moves, startled when she flipped him into the fountain with her. "What was that for?" He noticed her winking at another man, which inwardly ticked him off, though he did not show it. I knew she wouldn't be happy about the marriage, either, but this is ridiculous!

"So, what do you like to do?"

"I like music, reading, and writing, most of the time."

"Your daddy made you marry a nice young woman to keep you in line?" she asked, flashing him two rows of pearly white teeth. "To be completely honest, love, I don't think I was the best choice."

Benjamin did not answer that question. He did not want to repeat what his father said about unsuccessful relationships. Right after Henrietta said she was not the best choice, the young man asked with a sarcastic tone, "Oh, and why wouldn't you be?" At least she was being a little honest, that time...

"Oh stop it, sweetheart! I know I'm the greatest woman to walk the Earth, but you didn't have to flatter me."

"I wasn't..."

"Ben, you naughty boy. Of course I'm wearing amazingly uncomfortable lingerie that I would love for someone to take off. Hahaha!"

Stay calm... stay calm.. stay calm... "Hernietta..." His blush was still visible on his cheeks. "Why don't we wait until after the wedding to do that, when nobody will be watching?" Benjamin did not exactly look forward to taking off the lingerie, but he seriously wanted to try and avoid as much awkwardness as possible until the two of them were alone.

"Henrietta..." Benjamin chastised. "Why don't we wait until after the wedding to do that, when nobody will be watching?"

Huffing, Henrietta leaned back to rest her palms on Benjamin's knees as if he were merely a chair. "Please, no one's watching," she said. "We could announce the presence of a suicide terrorist - naked - and no one would give us a glance. They're all too caught up with themselves." Henrietta's red lips smiled mischievously. "Watch."

"LISTEN UP, YOU SAPPY, ANNOYING COUPLES!" Henrietta shouted a little too cheerfully, climbing off of Benjamin to leap into the air. The young woman smacked her hand on the top of the fountain, causing the water to stop flowing. Doing a double flip in the air, the long apricot-haired girl stood upright on the tip of the tall structure, chuckling lightly as she wobbled. Well, she very nearly fell but since she didn't, what she did clearly wasn't dangerous.

"You're all much too old to be acorns in a watermelon. You hear that?" Henrietta paused, flipping her soft hip-length hair over her pale shoulder for dramatic effect. "That's the sound of your youth flying far, far away. Live in the moment. DAMN it's gone!" The petite girl snatched at air and tipped forward so she nearly fell - for theatrics - before quickly throwing herself back into balance. "Get a ring, stick it on her finger. Make out and go home. Have cute, puking babies together and die miserable," she announced, rolling her large blue eyes.

"By the way," she smiled, smirking and causing her left dimple to sink in. "The number's 555-321-6699."

Henrietta looked down at Benjamin, then down to the ground, up to the surrounding people and back down to the ground. "So, uh... I'm afraid I didn't think this far, love," she mumbled. Laughing somewhat manically - though her laughter was a lilting, sweet sounding thing - Henrietta asked,

"How do I get down?"

Benjamin face reddened even more in embarrassment. "Uh, fellas..." He said to the surrounding people as he helped Henrietta down. "I know your night has just been interrupted, and on her behalf, I apologize." He then looked at Henrietta while still helping her down. "Darling, don't you think we should use this time to find some common ground, you know, talk about our likes and dislikes and stuff like that to see if there is any chemistry? By the way, I heard you enjoy music, but I'm not sure what kind."

"Uh, fellas... I know your night has just been interrupted, and on her behalf, I apologize." Henrietta huffed, crossing her arms and glaring at her red fiancé. He was embarrassed of her?

Like a cat trapped on a tree, Henrietta refused to budge as Benjamin reached out his arms, trying to get her to come done. "I can be just as adamant as you are!" she hissed like an angry kitten.

"Darling, don't you think we should use this time to find some common ground, you know, talk about our likes and dislikes and stuff like that to see if there is any chemistry? By the way, I heard you enjoy music, but I'm not sure what kind."

"No, no, no!" She repeated, jumping up and down on the tall fountain. Due to her small stature and light weight, it didn't even wobble. The tip of the now non-flowing structure, however, was very slim and a single misstep would mean a very, very long fall. Her wedding gown was surprisingly, as usual, perfectly fitting. Not a single pearl or flower was out of place and hair sat in smooth waves down her back. It was funny how lady-like and proper she looked. Her almost frail beauty was a sight to behold - as was the view up her petticoats.

"Do you feel any chemistry, Ephraim?" she asked, her blue eyes intense. "Likes and dislikes? We're getting married today and we're talking about likes and dislikes?! We should ask for each other's ages while we're at it. 17. Nice to meet you, too. Ever heard of the saying 'A closed mouth gathers no foot,' Ben? Of course not. Because I made it up!" Suddenly, Henrietta's face broke into a winning smile. "Very clever, if I may say so myself."

Suddenly all sunshine and roses, Henrietta pursed her lips to the side, thinking with her dimple. "As for what music I like... Punk rock, alternative rock, a bit of grunge. Oh! That reminds me -" Picking the most inappropriate song whilst playing air guitar, Henrietta's sweet, melodic voice filled the park - it was strange how much her appearance and voice clashed with her personality.

"Stacy's mom has got it goin' on," sang the bride who arrived on a skateboard. "She's all I want and I've waited for so long. Stacy, can't you see you're just not the girl for me. I know it might be wrong but," her voice was sugar and spice and everything nice as she struck a chord on her imaginary guitar. Then - as loudly as she could, just to embarrass her fiancé - Henrietta sang loudly in her voice of thick honey, "I'm in love with Stacy's mom- CRAP!"

Henrietta slipped from the fountain and fell through air like an Angel cast from Heaven.

"WHOA!" Benjamin reflexively caught Henerietta before she could hit the concrete at the bottom of the pool they were in. Realizing he was close to him, he let her feet settle on the ground before letting go, blushing. "Okay, I'm not the smartest guy in town, my choice of words while you were up there probably proves that." He placed his hand around the back of his neck. "Anyway, you did ask for my age. Eighteen. Graduated last year and been working for a landscape company since then." He smiled a little when he thought about Henrietta's answer to his question about music. Maybe she is a fan of Led Zepplin.

Adam, when not under pressure to do what he did not want to do, found it easy to speak his mind, but unfortunately this was not the case this time. With him playing the role of a concerned passer-by, who just happened to be a youth and someone who didn't like to see someone upset, which was the total opposite of his true self, he hoped to see how much he could find about about this girl before the window of opportunity of being someone mysterious closed. Even that charm was something he hadn't done before, but seemed to ease the tension to allow her to speak freely.

As she did speak freely, he begun to regret asking her, "U-uh, well...I'm 15". What on earth was his parents thinking of hooking him up with such a young....girl. He was 19, a grown man, a young adult, ready to take on the world, and now he had someone to cling onto his cloak and as for what she fancied. Now this was just silly. This was baby-sitting, not dating. His old man really was getting ill then, for he was really losing his marbles to not know how this will affect his social status to marry a girl 4 years younger than him, and didn't a girl under 18 need parental consent for almost about everything.

He done his best to listen regardless, as she explained how her parents arranged the marriage with his own and how nervous she was. He could tell by the way she moved and how she had said she was nervous twice already, and how she didn't want to go against her parents will, much like he didn't want to. Did he really have to do this? His future on the line, and he was with someone that was old enough to be his younger sister, but his wife?!

"Those rebellious teen years skipped over me......So, what about you? I don't think I caught your name yet", bringing his silence and obscurity to an end. If he didn't do what his father asked, then there was the possibility that his estate would go to his younger and more friendly brother. Damn him! Damn them both! Why did he have to be in this position. It was so unfair. Though what gave him a little bit of encouragement was the fact that like him, she too was innocent in this whole affair, that like him, she didn't want to disobey, and she was also smart, wishing to know the man she was speaking to then allow a stranger to be so near to her and know not his name. Perhaps mentally, she was older than she looks. She could always use her angel innocence, to make him look more pleasing than his brother. Maybe he did need to soften up. In their dreams.....

"So, you've missed out on being young and forced to be an adult already. I pity you, as I know exactly how it feels. I've always aimed high to be in my fathers' good books, yet no matter what I do, everything I try and do ends up not being good enough and having to do something else all the time, that I just gave up on being the yes-man and instead, grew up. Some things are simply beyond our control, until the time comes", he replied in a casual manner, to give her a little bit of background and create some sort of correlation between them.

As he said that, he then heard some noise from towards the fountain, seeing a young female on the fountain with a young male standing by, "LISTEN UP, YOU SAPPY, ANNOYING COUPLES!". Well, that counted him out for sure, for he sure wasn't being sappy now, as he turned back to Akiko, still not used to the idea, but if he complained, then he'd only get asked why didn't he give it a shot, why he didn't give her a chance. Giving in, he then turned to her and smiled, a warm smile at that, "My name's Adam, Adam Leroux.....Your knight in shining armor, or rather, shining suit", as his left hand moved to his suit where he rubbed it with the top half of his fingers, being all professional like. With his right hand, he then took the rose from his shirt pocket and passed it to her, "For you", not saying anymore. If she didn't like it, then he could easily have it back. The red rose looked pretty nifty with his red shirt and red hair.

"WHOA!" Henrietta fell into warm arms - well, isn't this comfy.

Setting her down, Benjamin blushed - isn't he a lady's man, she thought sarcastically. "Okay, I'm not the smartest guy in town, my choice of words while you were up there probably proves that. Anyway, you did ask for my age. Eighteen. Graduated last year and been working for a landscape company since then."

Tipping her head to the side, Henrietta observed Benjamin rarely. He's really patient. "You seem quite smart," she said. Henrietta pulled her soft apricot hair back before setting it down and letting it fall over the small of her back - resting on the silky white material of her wedding gown. "Landscape company, eh? I either want to be a waitress or the president. That is, if my singer-violinist career fails."

A sudden gust of wind blew and picked up her bright, long hair, making her rose and pearl covered gown swoosh around her. On her back were tattoos of small black birds flying up from the top of her dress over her shoulder.

Reaching out, Henrietta curled a lock of Benjamin's light hair before running her fingers down his face and neck. She found it adorable, how much he blushed. "You know, love, we're getting married. I'm quite sure you'll be doing a lot more than catching me, no?"

Henrietta looked over Benjamin's shoulder to spot a red haired man with a small girl that looked about - 12. She raised a delicately arched eyebrow at him, her red lips tilting into a playful smile. "Bringing your sister along to your wedding, pumpkin?" she asked.

A part of her wondered if that was his fiancee - they looked somewhat awkwardly intimate. Well, then, Henrietta. You've just insulted two more people. What's that - 912 hit lists you'll be on now? Well done!

"Apologies, strangely attractive man and his very pretty fiancee," she said - surprisingly genuinely. Henrietta curtsied, rather sarcastically but a lovely curtsy nonetheless. Her strawberry blonde hair cascaded in soft waves past her bare and tattooed shoulders before she rose. "Never miss a good chance to shut the hell up is what my pimp always says. But on the other hand, you have fingers," she mused, wiggling her fingers up in the sky like she'd never seen them before.

Oh, Henrietta. You are hilarious.

"Singer, huh? I happen to know how to play guitar, just for fun. It helps relieve the stress that sometimes builds up in me from work. The co-workers are great to be around, but some of them can get pretty lazy on the job sometimes, you know?" Somehow, the conversation began to relax him, but Benjamin was not sure of the reason. Was it because she was not being as obnoxious, now, or was it something deeper? He could not tell, for now. Maybe later on, during the marriage, he would have time to sort out the reasons. Quite frankly, as Henrietta ran her fingers on his still red face and neck, he did not seem to mind, this time.

"You know, love, we're getting married. I'm quite sure you'll be doing a lot more than catching me, no?"

"Oh, I'm sure!" Wait! Weren't you a bit uncomfortable by how flirtatious she was being, earlier? Again, this was one of those moments where he could not sort out his opinions on the matter, as of yet. And yet, for the moment, Benjamin felt a little confident in how things might go.

He silently listened to her as she talked. When she was over, there was a small pause before he talked.

"So, you've missed out on being young and forced to be an adult already. I pity you, as I know exactly how it feels. I've always aimed high to be in my fathers' good books, yet no matter what I do, everything I try and do ends up not being good enough and having to do something else all the time, that I just gave up on being the yes-man and instead, grew up. Some things are simply beyond our control, until the time comes" He finished as her eyes widened. She never met someone who was like her. Let alone to find him in this park with her. He gave her a warm smile before continuing.

"My name's Adam, Adam Leroux.....Your knight in shining armor, or rather, shining suit"[/b] Immediately, she felt the blush grow on her face. She didn't expect to be talking to her husband. Her blush grew as he gave her a single rose.

"For you" He stated as she gave him a smile and took it.

"Thank you. Red roses are my favorite." She said happily. She was happy that he actually showed up. Plus, he seemed really nice. Maybe this wasn't so bad.

"Bringing your sister along to your wedding, pumpkin?" A girl yelled over as she blushed even more. She wasn't quite aware of the difference of age until she had pointed it out. Looking up at him, she noticed that he probably already reached. Even though she felt saddened by the age difference, she didn't let it show. No, she was taught better than that.

"...I'm sorry for being so young... I bet you weren't expecting someone as young as me.... But I'll try my hardest to be the best bride I can be and follow your orders to the letter." She stated as she met his eyes and giving a slight smile.

"Apologies, strangely attractive man and his very pretty fiancee,"
That one girl yelled again as Akiko looked back down at her wedding dress. "Never miss a good chance to shut the hell up is what my pimp always says. But on the other hand, you have fingers," Akiko just smiled back and nodded slightly. It was a strange woman but she wasn't one to hold grudges unless they were necessary. After that, she returned her gaze back to Adam and smiled.

Louis Cole

The sun was shining as Louis' blond hair lit up, as the rays of sunshine descended upon him. It was his big day. A day that he would come to remember for the rest of his natural-born life. It was the day, that he would meet his bride-to-be, yet it didn't seem as thrilled and excited as he thought he would be. People changed over time, both in the way they acted, and the way they looked, and the bride he was supposed to marry was one who he had not known for long, except for one occassion a few years ago. Louis was kind-hearted to a fault, and despite his weakness and his fears, he presses on, no matter what, especially when he knew he was doing it for someone. This someone he was about to meet properly and get married to, to spend his life with, would be someone special that he would love and care for, though he still had some superstition, trying to remember the face he had been shown when they briefly met, he set about trying to put some sort of image together.

This was no dream. It was reality. He thought that he would be the one who got to choose the love of his life, but instead, the one for her was already picked, yet it didn't stop him from being kind towards other females, though he refrained from dating, knowing he could not. In his dreams, he saw himself as a Prince, rescuing his Princess, the love of his life, but they were only dreams, and dreams do not come true. It was all made up, made up of things that people desired, what people sought, what they were after, their happily ever after, but in reality, there was no such thing. What they should be thankful for, is what they did have, and what was real, what was there, even if he got grief from the other lads when he wouldn't ask a certain girl out. He was not as wealthy and rich as some, in terms of riches, but then one had to define what they meant by being rich, was it economically rich, or in another sense. He was rich in love, in kindness, in care, in happiness, and as for wealth, well that was mostly kept in the family safe and used sparingly, either because they weren't super rich or just didn't wish to spend cash on things that were not important.

What they did view as important, was talent, things that made people stick out. For Louis, it was that of his music in playing the violin. He found it smooth, calm, relaxing, a great joy to listen to and appreciate, which he did alot. There was many variations of music noadays. Different styles. Different beats. Different sounds. Louis liked to play music that could not only be heard, but also be felt, as if he was reaching out to his audience. Ever heard how music is commonly referred to as soul music, sound of the heart...well that's how he felt. He wanted sounds that had feeling, sounds that literally played on the heartstrings. The music he would compose himself was often how he felt. There are those who have their emotions hidden, others have on their sleeve for those round them to see, but Louis was one who wore his emotions in his music for all to hear.

However today, he was not playing in front of just any crowd. He had played here and there, but nothing big really. Today however, would be an act that faced the toughest crowd, and that if he did not play well, then he would of failed miserably, and failed his parents. The biggest day of his life, as he composed himself, rather than his music, in keeping a straight posture, to remain calm and strong, constantly telling himself to "man up". Though they had met awhile back, it was some time ago and people change, and now was unsure what he was to look for. He didn't know a lot, and yet everything was at stake, despite his parents telling him he had met her before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. In his time, he had met so many, helped as many, so it was hard to pinpoint which girl they were referring to. It was only a matter of time before all was revealed, so before he makes a fool of himself and ends up asking every female sees if they are waiting for him as their Mr.Right, he pulled his phone from his jacket and did the only thing he could do, something he did not like doing especially now as he was supposed to be growing up, which was to call his mother. "Hi, it's me..Umm where's the meeting place again?", he asked, deliberately giving no room to say mother or mum in a public place as he walked in the huge park, where the girl who he was to meet with could be literally, anywhere.

As always, mother was ever so helpful, in being not so helpful as he told him about the meeting place being at the fountain, reminding him of her name, and then going on and on and on, about how to act, what to do. He just felt like telling her to leave him to it, to let him do it himself, but he didn't have the heart to. Afterall, it was her and father that arranged it all, and they did not want him to fail, which added even more pressure to the situation. Once her lecture was ever, he headed towards the fountain. As he walked, he looked left and right and seeing other couples being here, there and everywhere, on the gras, on park benches, and then that's when he saw a young female shouting from the top of the fountain, a blond haired like him, yelling at all the couples while she appeared to have none beside her. Don't say this was her? Would he even get a word in? as she kept going on, reminding him of mother, before she then fell, thankfully caught by a young male, but by the way they acted, it seemed they were together, so definitely not her.

Looking around furthur, he approached the fountain until he saw another girl near the fountain, sitting on the ledge, on her own, with no male counterpart with her. She had what could be described as strawberry-blonde hair but he wasn't quite sure. It had been some time, and anyone could dye their hair, but it seemed that she was the only other female about the fountain which was the arranged meeting place, so it must be her. Picking up his courage, he then walked over to her, while his mind ticked away trying to remember when he did last meet this girl those few years ago, as alot happened in a year, before his thinking time was cut short as he was infront of her. He could not deny how beautiful she looked, but the time for gazing would come later, as he then spoke up and said softly, "Misa?", remembering the name that his mother had told him, hoping this was the one and hoping he hadn't just made an idiot of himself by asking the wrong person.

Adam Leroux

He was not making it up when he spoke about his own childhood, if he could call it childhood. Everytime he did one thing, he was always competing with his brother, so the only way he could avoid that was to do things that he was old enough to do, things that he was too young to do, and as a result, Adam grew up faster than him, and remained an asset to his father, despite his attitude problems. At the moment, he was doing his best to keep a calm and friendly posture in order not to mess the meeting up. It was as if he was a completely different person, but it didn't matter...if anyone called him bad again, he could always put on this face again and let her have some bites of the big cake that would soon be his.

Since Adam was working on the business, his brother attended college, and as a result was furthering his education whereas Adam was not, though in his opinion he didn't need it, since he was born quite smarter than others, so why bother. It only meant that his brother was making sure he had more weapons to arm himself with, but he'd lose if he didn't carry out fathers' wishes, even the outrageous ones like this. It is what he meant by "until the time comes", though the deeper meaning of those words was referring to the time he did take charge, no longer under his fathers' shadow, leaving how he liked. The only downside would be no father, but the good news was that his annoying brother would be under his mercy. If father partnered him up with someone 4 years younger, maybe give him 6, that would be hilarious, though not like some in the news of those with a double figure gap. Now that was mad.

After announcing who he was, he noticed her cheeks growing rosey red, and then with the rose, she was definitely turning into a red picture. Red was such a wonderful colour, and was glad she liked the rose, "Red roses are my favorite", which meant that she wouldn't complain when he took over the decor and allow red to dominate. Though not too much mind, or he would be too much. Just as he was about to respond to her comment about red roses, the girl who had yelled previously, had then looked towards them.

With his attention taken away to the other girl, his blue crystal eyes looked up to the other girl, [i]"Bringing your sister along to your wedding, pumpkin?"
. He could not be angry at her for stating the obvious as they were his thoughts when Akiko had told him her age, and as for "pumpkin", well she must be talking to him, but she sure was colour-blind if she couldn't tell what a perfect red was in his hair. Even with the age difference, she seemed to be a little like him, in the sense they had to act older than they were in order to go up in the world, and the fact they were both from wealthy business families, the Leroux's and the Suzuki's. Hey, that would be quite a handsome sum of money that the pair would have since she too must be the heir of the Suzuki estate.

Adam sometimes couldn't help thinking about making profit, but maybe that's why his parents had spoken to hers in order to secure a future for both their Houses and as a result, they offered both of their heirs. If he backed out, then his brother would only jump in to annoy him, and he was alot more closer to her age, but then he heard her apologise for something that wasn't her fault, and he could hardly let her go, as strange as it seemed. "...I'm sorry for being so young... I bet you weren't expecting someone as young as me.... But I'll try my hardest to be the best bride I can be and follow your orders to the letter.".

He noticed that she had blushed again, but this time she gave a smile after being all apologetic, in which he smiled back to make her feel better, before the girl before called out again, "Apologies, strangely attractive man and his very pretty fiancee,", which only made his smile widen. Adam might be quite a hard man to get along with, his workers could tell anyone that, but compliments surely go a long way, but then all the compliments wouldn't save you from Adam's wrath if you annoyed him too much. Thankfully it was not the case yet, as he passed anything that annoyed him by.

But with compliments to him, he always liked to return them with one of his own, "Why thank you. Your not so bad yourself. You both, look, stunning", including the young man she was with, as they were no doubt together and when he caught her falling and him catching, it seemed like one of those fantasy stories, but life wasn't a fantasy, sometimes things happen what you least expect, and in the end, they have a chance of actually coming out well. With his own experience, he saw that when people's spirits were lifted, it made them more happier, so in reverse, if you wanted them to fear you, then you do the opposite, which is what he tended to do at work when they annoyed him as well as reminding them whose boss.

Turning back to Akiko, he smiled, then took her hand and looked into her eyes which were blue like his, the only clear part of him, "One thing you should know about me, is that I'm not afraid to speak my mind. You have a mouth, use it", winking, before continuing, "Now, what you said about those red roses Angel...what you think of red heads?". He kept his face straight as he awaited a response, while he tilted his head left and right to try and picture her with red hair. She was young, so she dressed young, despite her acting older than her age, so she could probably make some changes to her wardrobe as he did, or he'd be wearing a thin top and denim jeans. He had fished for a compliment after giving her a compliment, so it was the case if his bait would be bitten.

Thing was, you couldn't change nature. You couldn't say when you could be born, only wait to come out into the world, so they'd get through it. They had to, and she had already given her consent that she'd follow his orders, though it was not what imagined for a wife, but you never know. What would happen between them depending on both parties.

"Oh, I'm sure," Benjamin said with - was that a smirk? Henrietta raised a brow, at least he was loosening up. Must be because I'm so damn awesome.

"Second," she said with a smile as she eavesdropped on the red haired boy and his little sis- Fiancee. It appeared he was quite annoyed with her first comment about the girl being his sister - Wonderful. That's my goal in life! Though he appeared to be happy with his compliment - Cocky, she thought with her eyebrow raised. They would've gotten along so perfectly if her father had decided to give her to him. Ah well, Benjamin's more fun to mess with. Cherry-head over there would just try to mess with her.

Not that he'd win.

"Why thank you. Your not so bad yourself. You both, look, stunning." Not that bad? Please, Henrietta was too perfect for her own good - clearly.

"One thing you should know about me, is that I'm not afraid to speak my mind. You have a mouth, use it," Cherry said. He must be my twin brother, she though with an accessing not-so-subtle stare at the red haired man. Mouths, mouths. They're incredibly useful for many things. Talking, kissing, other things... Turning back to Benjamin, she decided, "We should make out really loudly with very few articles of clothing right now," she tossed the surrounding couples a glance before her sapphire eyes returned to Ben, "They'd feel awkward and most importantly - you would."

"Oh no, baby! Of course we can't make a baby right nowin a park surrounded by people. It's not like I have no shame or anything! HAHAHA," she said much too loudly.

Then, gripping her flat stomach before dramatically melting into the ground with one hand raised, she panted, "I'M PREGNANT!" Henrietta gripped Benjamin's arm tightly. "I think it's Mike's. Maybe Carl's," she said with exaggerated panic before gasping, "Don't tell me it's Damien's! It was a one time thing! We were intoxicated and-"

Jumping into a stand, she yelled loudly, "I GOT SOMEONE PREGNANT! Oh my god... I'm not pregnant - my 6th girlfriend, whom I have a homosexual relationship with is. Oh forgive me, woman-who's-name-I-do-not-remember."

Running her hands down her skirt - that was still surprisingly clean and white - and tucking her smooth, long hair behind one ear, Henrietta beamed, "Okay, now I'm good. Wait. Nope."

"Of course I didn't attend the funeral," she shouted at her imaginary friend next to her with a roll of her eyes, "But I sent a letter saying I approved of it."

Benjamin raised an eyebrow as Henrietta said all she said. His mouth formed a frown at the random remarks. "You have a crude sense of humor, you know that?" At least she's not afraid to speak her mind, which is a good thing. Better to be honest than not.

((Sorry for the short post.))

"You have a crude sense of humor, you know that?" Benjamin asked rhetorically.

"Oh, yeah?" she returned with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll have to get used to it, Ben. You're going to have to live with a lot more of it. A lot more of me," she whispered the last line against his ear. Then, in a breathless voice she teased, "I can get a lot more down and dirty... If that's what you're into."

Placing a soft kiss on his cheek, Henrietta pulled back and glanced briefly at a clock tower near by before looking at Benjamin, "Looks like it's Cinderella time to prepare for the formal baby-making. The pastor's probably waiting for us at the church right now," then, she jokingly asked, "Why'd you pick the church, anyway? You one of those pastor-wannabes? Because I, for one, am very much an Atheist. I've always wanted to walk down an aisle, though!"

Strolling towards her red skateboard, she flipped it over and stepped a stiletto clad foot on it. She waved Benjamin over, "I hope you bought a ring, sweetheart. I expect something lovely to match my amazing fingers," she grinned, wiggling her ring finger at him.

Pulling her hair back into a pony tail, she wrapped a strand of pearls from her dress around her apricot hair to hold it up. Henrietta's soft strawberry waves were much more beautiful when it was left down to fall over her soft shoulders but she wasn't sure what Benjamin preferred - certainly not me. Why did she care what he wanted anyway?

Tugging on his crisp shirt, she leaned forward and said seriously, "I apologise for not being the woman you wanted. I know I'm... Difficult. But I really will try. Please be patient with me, love?"

Henrietta pulled back from Benjamin and shook her head - that was incredibly uncharacteristic of her. I must be going mad. "Are you driving to the church?" she asked, looking over her naked shoulder at Ben. "Would you like it if I came with you? I can zig-zag across the roads in my skateboard and arrive without a sweat on my pretty little head, don't you worry. Your bride won't look like she ran a marathon," she said with a laugh.

Her fiancé with his light hair was attractive - somehow she only just noticed that. He was quite tall, handsome and, well, kind-looking. His face with its chiseled jaw and intense gaze was one she wouldn't mind looking at for the rest of her life. Not to mention, he was incredibly patient and caring. Henrietta looked sadly away, a heaviness sitting in the pit of her stomach. She actually felt sorry for the poor boy. What was his father thinking? Pairing him up with someone like her?

He's too good for me.

Benjamin did not know what to make of the kiss he received on the cheek, yet he only showed a calm demeanor. Well, it looks like some color has been added to our lives. We're clearly opposites. Quite frankly, I don' know if it's good or bad.

"Looks like it's Cinderella time to prepare for the formal baby-making. The pastor's probably waiting for us at the church right now," then, she jokingly asked, "Why'd you pick the church, anyway? You one of those pastor-wannabes? Because I, for one, am very much an Atheist. I've always wanted to walk down an aisle, though!"

He just shrugged. I don't know. Maybe it's more meaningful that way? Could be a number of reasons.

"I apologise for not being the woman you wanted. I know I'm... Difficult. But I really will try. Please be patient with me, love?"

Benjamin nodded. She didn't really have to apologize, but whatever.

When asked about whether he will drive, he said to Henrietta, "Yes, I have a truck."

While driving to church, the brown-haired young man could not help but wonder if there was something intimate forming. What reason would there be for him to respond to some of what his bride said or did towards the end of the conversation? Benjamin shook his questions off, deciding to focus on the road before he ends up in a car crash. I seriously doubt we'd want to spend the first days of marriage in the hospital.
