Bambi and the Duke

Chapter 111 - Time In The Theater- Part 5



She saw Mr Gibbs and the woman who had been standing next to him, going in a different direction from the one they were previously walking. She felt Leo's large hand be placed on her small back which broke her attention back to him. Looking at him she saw him looking at someone in deep concentration before his gaze broke away from the person.

"Someone you know?" she asked him. He shook his head.

"Unimportant person," he smiled and then led her up the stone stairs. With the place made only for the elites, Vivian didn't find it to be crowded. There were a few gentlemen and women who were coming behind them and some up in the front.

She saw her dress and then the other women to realize her gown looked much for expensive than the rest she had come to see. Before getting inside the theatre she didn't understand why women were staring at her if she was looking odd but it wasn't the case. Her gown had been prepared by Leo himself, from the colour of the silk to the embroidery and the laces that had to be accompanied. Now that he had confessed his feelings to her, he took the opportunity to spoil the girl to his heart's content.

Some folks had never seen Leonard enter the theatre at this hour of the night, not to watch the night theatre at least which made them check the girl whom he accompanied as they got in.

"This is the assigned seat you requested for, Mr Carmichael," one of the men who had come to guide the way to the seating box pulled the curtain and unlocked the door, "Is there something you would like me to bring? Something to eat perhaps?"

Leonard looked at Vivian, and her eyebrows rose slightly, "Ah water?" she asked.

"Anything for you, Sir?" the man asked Leonard again.

"Nothing for me. Bring the water immediately. We wouldn't want to be disturbed when the play begins," Leonard was serious as he said the words and saw the man bow his head.

"Of course. Let me bring it right away. Excuse me," seeing the man leave, Vivian stepped into the box where there was a large opening like windows where one could see the stage clearly. A large seat with a resting back sat close to the windows. Vivian turned around to see Leo looking at her.

"We can see everything from here," she said to see him nod.

He couldn't help but smile at her excitement. Would she still be this excited when the show would start? It was something he was looking forward too. There was a reason why he hadn't touched her this morning. Why he hadn't touched her yesterday or the day before it. He had to prepare her, prepare her to what she was about to see and what he would do to her.

The night theatres were special due to which the rates never came down. Seats like the one he had booked for them for privacy would cost a mere human's entire life in earning to bring a person here.

But money was never a problem to Leonard. With his grandparents and parents who were wealthy the same had been passed down to him. Not to forget, being a Duke and also being part of the council investigation team, he was paid well due to his capabilities.

The man who had guided them here returned back with a jug filled with water and glass along with it. Seeing him leave, Leo locked the door and took a seat next to Vivian who had settled herself there comfortably while looking down at the empty seats now with no one there.

Vivian wondered how much Leo would have paid for these seats. Than the previous one they last time sat, this one seemed luxurious. The seats were plush and not hard on her bottom, there was a stand in the corner where the man had placed the water. Looking at the stage where the curtain was yet to be drawn for the actors to come out, she supported her chin with her hand while staring and waiting for it to start.

Finally, when the red curtains were drawn on either side of the stage, Vivian saw the set up of a house. She realized she had failed to ask Leo what the story was about.

The music began, so did the play. Too engrossed in it, she watched them act their scenes out. The story had come to the point that the woman was jealous of another girl whom the man had spoken. Accusations began to fly on the stage and it made Vivi sit straight in full attention to how the matter would be resolved.

"You're not listening, Gweneth," the man came to stand behind the woman but she moved away from him. Shaking her head with eyes full of tears, she said,

"I know my father doesn't approve of me being with you that you are angry at me but I had no choice," it seemed like the woman was in too much of pain as she said not listening to her lover when he was only trying to make her understand. Vivian bit her lip wondering why the woman was not trying to understand him, "I don't like seeing you with her, Ronald!"

"For the tenth time, she was there by coincidence. I never knew she was going to be there at my arrival," the woman huffed, her beautiful face now smudged with tears.

"I don't believe you. I am tired of your lies. You want to spite me," she said ready to walk out but the man pulled her for a kiss by her hand. The woman struggled but he seemed to look too tired. Taking her towards the ouch he pushed her before kissing back.

Vivian didn't realize when the kiss of reconciliation had turned to one of a hot mess until the clothes the woman wore was completely discarded off and laid on the stage in the corner. She who had been biting her lip let go it with her lips slightly parted at what was taking place in the play that she saw from her seat.

Each kiss and trace of the woman's kiss was shown as the man touched her.

As the man latched his lips on the woman's bosom, Vivian could feel her face to be lit on fire. Was this what Leo had meant? Shocked and surprised didn't even cover the way embarrassment filled her pale cheeks. Terribly conscious of Leo sitting next to her with only an inch gap, she didn't dare to turn and look at him. Her eyes stayed glued on the stage but not on the couple but then again it moved back to the actors due to mere curiosity.

It wasn't that it was dirty but something so intimate was being displayed on the stage that it was hard for her to keep the focus on, especially with her body starting to tingle and feel aware of the man who sat next to her.

The man discarded his clothes as well, taking the woman in his arms and continuing to kiss her lips, neck and every possible place he could place his skin on.

It was when the man went to place his head between the woman's legs did Vivian's face lit up in a fire. The moans only got louder and louder in time. She wished she could hide somewhere anywhere far away from this place. This was the last option she would have picked if she knew what she was going to watch today in the theatre.

It was the first time to witness something so openly like this. She didn't know how to react, and as embarressing, the scene was she couldn't lie that there was just something so alluring on the stage that she continued to watch until the end of it.

Taking a small peek at Leo's face, she found him looking calm and unaffected by any of it. Just so that he wouldn't catch her staring she went back to look at the play. Due to the play, her body felt hot, not to forget that Leo hadn't kissed her in a while.

Only if the ground could swallow her, thought Vivian to herself.

How was she going to face Leonard?
