The evening meant you could find a young lady outside in the garden. She sometimes prefers to be alone. This evening was nothing new. She was having her brown hair tight but still some hair was free. She was singing quickly when she hear voice.
"Lady Danbury you forgot our meeting " The voice ripped her from own thoughts. She gasped when she saw young Queen Charlotte standing behind her. Probably upset from something she did. Or didn't did.
"I am so sorry your Majesty " She basically wanted to kneel down but the hand on her forearm stopped her. The hand of the young queen made her shiver but she didn't show it. She couldn't. It wasn't something she could show.
"Don't be. If you do have time for a chat now?" She nodded.
"Of course. What do I owe the honor to see you?" Agatha spoke softly and her eyes for a moment stopped on Queen fingers on her skin. It was new. It was exciting to feel it.
"No, tell me firstly what keeps your mind occupied?" She asked and finally pulled her hand down and their eyes met for the first time that afternoon. Queen was one who gasped even when young Lady Danbury tried to hide it; her face had been full of bruises.
"I see why you didn't want to leave the house " Charlotte's voice had been carefully controlled. She learned her young friend is very stubborn about things. She touched her face gently.
"That's why I did come to the Palace, yes " She admitted meeting her eyes and her fingertips touched her face. She bit her lips when Lady Danbury didn't move away. They both know they should move away. "Who?"
Agatha bites her lips. She could lay, she knew she should. She shouldn't break the young Queen's word but word was often a bad place.
"My husband " She said and the Queen's eyes widened. She continued "He is thinking I am cheating him" She said softly. "It's new I wanna have my own personality and be more than his wife " She wanted to continue but then they could hear the steps nearing them. It could be some servant or exactly lady Danbury husband. Charlotte was the one who made a quick decision to grab Agatha's hand in hers. "Come!" She said and they rushed between the trees of the garden. Till they couldn't catch their breath. Then the sun was hidden and they were in the shadows. Agatha lean about the tree.
"I shouldn't tell you about what happened to your Majesty with my husband. He is not like it all the time but like every other man he thinks he just owns me " She scoffed a little bit. She watched the Queen coming closer to her and shaking head. "They shouldn't think they are free to hurt you or any other woman " She spoke up seriously.
"Tell the word and I will let him be arrested " Charlotte's own words surprise her but she means every single meaning behind it. She wanted her friend to be safe. She didn't feel so alone for a long time, not when Lady Danbury was around her. No, she felt special with her close friend.
"It's not a good idea my lady " Agatha met her eyes. She said and for a moment looked away. She was sure the young Queen meant it well but that scandal would be huge. "There would be alot of problems for our side. He would be black man arrested for hurting someone in the family. They would be pleased about it" Agatha met her eyes again and when the Queen came closer she smiled.
"You are strong " Her voice was really soft and flattering.
"I have to be. "Agatha said, meaning every word. She makes little steps and they stand very close to each other. She smiled and for a moment looked into the Queen's eyes.
"I know you have to be too and you do so well " She said, biting her lips and at that moment it happened. She feels the touch of Charlotte fingertips on her face and then moment after come her lips. Agatha sighed and closed her eyes.
For now she has forgotten everything. On her husband, society and even on the fact that relationships between two women or two men weren't taken well by people. She was kissed by someone extraordinary. Someone she desires to be kissed by somewhere in the corner of her own mind.
She met Charlotte's lips with her own and soon touched the Queen's face with own hand. Shaking with something she couldn't describe well. She shivered a little bit when Charlotte was the one who broke the kiss. "I am sorry Agatha " Her voice was nearly broken as if she was about to cry. The Queen probably didn't need these feelings for her dear friend to be added to the daily mess she lives in but here they were.
It was now or never. "Please don't be" Agatha's voice was barely audible. She knows she shouldn't want this. She leaned in and now it was her who kissed the younger girl now and stopped her thoughts. This kiss was different. More daring. She was licking her lips gently and when they opened for her she could help the pleasure feeling inside herself. She hoped that Charlotte felt the same and it seems she did when she pressed closer.
They both slowly leaned about the tree behind Agatha. The kiss is more headed than before when they hear a voice. The Queen servant!Brimsley who else?
"That I call a bad time "Charlotte's voice was breathless when she spoke up softly and leaned her forehead about Agatha.
"I have to go!" She spoke urgently and before they had a chance to exchange more than look she was gone.
Agatha Danbury reminds alone. Her fingers touched her lips.
God help her what she get herself into? She still could hear Charlotte speaking to him.
"I didn't find Lady Danbury, we are leaving " The voice of her was soft like usual but Agatha hide her face in hands.
Didn't find her. Of course she couldn't expect the Queen to speak of the kiss. She wasn't silly but her mind was racing. She need a drink.
