Sebastian x OC x Undertaker Love story ch 9

Chapter 9 Cradle's Sway

As she runs off my room I smirked. I hugged the 3 cats playfully “Good job my little kittens, you will be rewarded with a big meal for tonight.”

I checked the time in my pocket watch “5:55 I better go and prepare dinner.” I walked out of my room and went for the kitchen.

“She said that she’s not hungry” Meyrin explained while I serve young master his food.

“Where did she go earlier?” young master asked.

“I don’t know, While I was looking for her I accidentally bumped into her. Her face was bright red. I asked her what happened but she left me without saying anything.”

“Is she sick?”

“I-i don’t know I didn’t have the chance to check up on her.” Young master just stared at Meyrin

“Sebastian go check on her later.”

“Uhm young master” Meyrin spoke

He looked up at Meyrin “What is it?”

“Lady Jessica said that she doesn’t want to see Mr. Sebastian” me and young master looked at each other.

“The exact words she said is ‘Tell Ciel that the only ones who can attend me is you, Tanaka, Bard and Finny’ That’s what she said.”

Young master glared at me, his eyes telling me what I did now. He then looked back at Meyrin. “Just bring her some food, If she doesn’t eat leave the food in her room.” Meyrin bowed then said ”Y-yes sir!”

As soon as he finished eating he looked at me then said “Follow me”

I followed him to his study, He sat on his chair and rested his head on his palms. “What did you do now?”

“I did nothing my lord” I replied calmly

“Didn’t I say that you shall never lie to me!” I just smiled

“I did not lie young master.”

“Then what happened? She will not distance herself from you if nothing happened!” he asked irritably.

I looked at him amusingly then replied
“Well something did happen” He glared at me “And what is it?”

“We kissed ‘Accidentally’” his eyes widened “WHAT! You kissed her! I told you not to touch her!”

“ Yes you did told me not to touch her but I did say ‘Accidentally’, besides young master, she’s the one who ‘accidentally’ kissed me.”

He sighed “So you’re saying it’s her fault?” He looked at me again but I did not answer.

“I’ll let it pass for now. Like I told you before don’t make me use my contract with you just to prevent you from touching my sister.”

“Why are you so protective of your sister from me” He looked at me with expressionless eyes.

“Because you’re a demon” I just smirked

“Now go and finish your job, do as she says, tell Tanaka that he will attended to Lady Jessica starting today he knows my sister well, she will be much more comfortable when she’s with him.”

I looked at him in disappointment then bowed “As you wish young master.” I went out of his study and finished my chores. I saw Lady Jessica walking in the garden

“She sure loves to go out at night. I better see what she’s up to.”

~Jessica’s POV~

I was in my bed, burying myself with the sheets. “My very first kiss! I can’t believe Sebastian was my first kiss!”

I sat up then held my burning cheeks, The scene with Sebastian keeps on popping inside my head.

“I can’t take it anymore!” I grabbed my pillow then shouted while burying my whole face with it “KYAAAAAAA!!”

I heard someone knocked on my door. “Milady it’s time for dinner” Meyrin said.

‘Shit I forgot about dinner but I don’t want to see Sebastian, No! I don’t want to be near him!’

“I-i’m not hungry Meyrin”

“Are you sure miss?”

“Yes!..  Oh! Wait Meyrin!” I run to the door and opened it a little, I peeked outside just to be sure she’s not with him.

“What is it miss?” She asked. I dragged her inside my room she just looked at me with confusion.

“Milady are you sure you’re alright?”

“Yes I’m alright so please do not worry about me, I dragged you here because I have a request.” I breathe deeply then said.

“Please tell Ciel that the only ones who can attend me is you, Tanaka, Bard and Finny. Sebastian is not allowed to go near me!” I said a bit agitated. Meyrin just stood there shocked.

“M-milady did something happen between you and Mr Sebastian?” My face turned bright red

“Please don’t ask me anything for now just do my request.” I said with irritation. “Now go!” I pushed her outside my room but not too hard then shut the door.

I went back to my bed burying myself again with the sheets, a few minutes has passed Meyrin and Bard brought some food. “Milady we brought you some food.”

I sat up not caring what I look like “Did you pass the message?” Meyrin nodded.

“Please leave I really don’t have the appetite to eat. Meyrin and Bard looked at each other “Are you sure you’re alright miss?” Bard asked I just smiled

“Yes, and thank you for your concern and I’m sorry to worry you all. I just..” I looked down in my bed “I just don’t want to talk about it”

“Very well miss, if you need anything you can just call us” she said “And we will run to you immediately!” Bard continued. I just chuckled then said“Thank you”

After they left my room, I looked at the food that they brought for me. “To eat or not to eat?” I mumbled. My stomach growled “that means to eat.”

I only ate a little, As I finished eating I went to the window and opened it letting the cold breeze of the night inside my room. I looked at the stars up in the sky searching the brightest of them all.

I held my locket and opened it then stared at the picture of my nanay. “If only you were here, you will know what to do” As silence was surrounding me three small knocks came to my door, I sighed in irritation ‘who is it this time’

“Milady I brought you tea” Tanaka said,

“Come in” I said calmly, the door opened and saw Tanaka holding a tray of tea and some desserts then entered my room. As he sets down the tray on a nearby table in my room my eyes widened.

“Is that?.. Maja Blanca?” he smiled then replied “Yes, And if I’m correct this is your favorite comfort food when you’re depressed” he said,  I quickly went to his side then sat in the chair near the table. He looked at the Service tray with my barely touched food.

“I don’t have the appetite” I said as I picked up my dessert fork and digging it to my dessert. He just raised an eyebrow

“Don’t have the appetite to eat dinner but you’re excited about your dessert?” I pouted he just chuckled.

“Are you going to give me this or not?” I asked annoyingly he just smiled.

As I happily ate my dessert he poured me some tea. “This is good! Are you the one who made this?” I asked

“No, It was Mr. Sebastian” I frowned “Sebastian made this?” I stared at my dessert

“If I may ask, did something happen between the two of you Milady?” I spit my tea, my face turned bright red.

“W-what? Eh.. n-no, nothing happened, haha, what makes you think that?”

“Well you forbid him to go near you”

“oh right I did say that , haha” I said rubbing the back of my head. “did Ciel asked anything?”

“Yes, he asked about your condition and to where have you been earlier.” I looked at him for a while I don’t know what to say.

“If you don’t want to talk about it then I will not push the question.”

“Tanaka, can you .. keep a secret?” he looked at me with confusion in his eyes. “Of course” he replied.

I stood up then went for my door I peeked outside to make sure no one is listening, then went back to Tanaka’s side and held both of his hands

“Promise me this secret will never be out, and also promise me you won’t laugh.”

He nodded. I inhaled deeply “MeandSebastiankissedaccidentally!” I said without pausing, he chuckled. “Would you care to repeat that Milady? I can’t seem to understand what you were saying.”

‘Damn now I have to repeat every word I’ve said’

“I said me and Sebastian..” I looked away “We.. k-kissed” My face was now bright red Tanaka looked at me with wide eyes. “You kissed?”

“Accidentally”

“How did it happen?” I let go of his hands then plop myself in the chair, I explained to him what happened in details, he was silent but listening.

“When Meyrin was knocking on his door I panicked and told him that she must not see me, so he hid me in his closet with the cats, When Meyrin left he helped me get off his closet but I accidentally stepped on the cat and fell on top on him.. and my lips landed to his.” I said fidgeting.

Tanaka only stared at me “Is that so”.

“Please don’t tell Ciel” I said putting my hands together like I’m praying while lowering my head”

“Don’t worry miss, your secret is safe with me” he smiled, I smiled back.

“now about your dessert, I was the one who made that, I just wanted to ask about what happened between you and Mr. Sebastian”  I raised an eyebrow

“You’re also cunning in your own way Tanaka” He chuckled. I finished my dessert and tea then told Tanaka he can retire for the night.

“Goodnight Milady and sweet dreams” I smiled “Goodnight and thank you for the dessert” He bowed then went for the door.

“Uhm Tanaka?” He stopped then looked at me “What is it?”

“Can I call you Lolo?” He stared at me for a while then smiled “If you wish so, then you can” I smiled. He then went out of my room.

I made sure that his footstep cannot be heard. I went to get a shawl in my closet then went out of my room to the garden.

“I just love seeing the roses being lit with the moonlight”. I walked around the garden then sat on a bench near the rose bushes. “Nanay I really miss you so much.”

I looked at the roses around me, Oh how my Nanay loved these  flowers, It smelled so nice and bloom so elegantly.

I still remember the times when me and my mother sat on a duyan  in our small garden and sings me her lullaby how I wish she was still doing that to me, It always calms me down.

I pluck a single rose from its bush carefully not letting myself prick with its torns. I held it gingerly then sang.

~Sebastian’s POV~

As I went outside, I kept my distance, far away as possible but making sure I can hear her. She sat on the bench near the rose bushes

‘She looked so beautiful under the moonlight, being surrounded by those roses makes her beauty stand out.’ She pluck a rose from its bush and held it with both hands and then started to sing

♪ Sana’y di mag-maliw ang dati kong araw       I hope my former days don't fade away
  Nang munti pang bata, sa piling ni nanay         When I was a young child in Mom's arms
 Nais kong maulit, ang awit ni inang mahal        I want my Beloved Mother's song to repeat
 Awit ng pag-ibig, habang ako’y nasa duyan♪  Song of love while I was in the cradle

Her voice piercing my heart, I can sense her sadness in the song, as if longing for something that is lost. I can’t help but look at her eyes that is now clouded with tears but not a single drop was rolling down her cheeks.

♪ Sa aking pag tulog na labis ang himbing           In my sleep that’s very peaceful
   Ang bantay ko’y tala, and tanod ko’y bituin    The planets guard me, the stars watch me
   Sa piling ni nanay, langit ang buhay                   In mom’s arms, Life was like heaven
   Puso kong may dusa,                                                  My heart that’s hurting
   Sabik sa ugoy ng duyan, ♪                                        Yearns for the sway of the cradle

I closed my eyes listening to her song as she repeats every verse. Her cold yet calm voice sings the song like a lullaby

♪ Sana’y di mag-maliw ang dati kong araw      
  Nang munti pang bata, sa piling ni nanay
 Nais kong maulit, ang awit ni inang mahal        
 Awit ng pag-ibig, habang ako’y nasa duyan♪


♪ Sa aking pag tulog na labis ang himbing          
   Ang bantay ko’y tala, and tanod ko’y bituin  
   Sa piling ni nanay, langit ang buhay  
   Puso kong may dusa,                                                              
   Sabik sa ugoy ng duyan, ♪                                    

♪ Nais kong matulog sa dating duyan ko inay    I want to sleep in my old cradle mother
 Oh inay... ♪                                                                      Oh Mother...

I opened my eyes again and looked at her, she sat there in silence looking at the sky. I slowly wlaked to her side unknowingly as if she were pulling me close to her.

I held my hand up reaching for her shoulders, but she gripped my arm and turned around to face me, she was about to twist my arm when her eyes widened. “S-Sebastian?”

“you’ve got good reflexes there Milady.” I smirked. She removed her grip from my arm then she backed away.

“W-what are y-you doing here?” She asked stuttering with her words.

“I should be asking that Milady”. I said still smirking.

“It is none of your business! Didn’t I asked Ciel that you are not allowed to go near me!”She pointed her finger at me.

“Yes I were told that, but I came here to tell you that you have to go inside since I am about to close all the doors and windows, We don’t want you sleeping outside don’t we?” I smiled.

She dropped her hand and about to speak but no words came out of her mouth. She clenched her fist holding back her anger then turned around stomping her feet towards the mansion.

“What an amusing girl you are.”
