chapter seven!

"Hello sister," spoke Francis, grinning like a mad man, the other two just stood and stared at Charlotte, Philip was the first one to come forward and engulf her in a hug,

"Oh how I have missed you all!" she exclaimed, squeezing her brother as tight as she could, he finally let go and the next person in line was Francis who picked poor Charlotte up in front of a whole ballroom and spun her around, she squealed at him and he eventually let her go, lastly there was little John, John was not very touchy-feely with his siblings as he was going through quite an awful stage in his life where he deemed himself not worthy of even his sister's affections, yet he launched himself at her, almost knocking Charlotte off of her feet,

"Little Lottie!" he exclaimed, "You have grown at least a foot and a half since we have last seen you, are you well? Is everything okay?" Charlotte chuckled at his sudden interest in herself,

"Yes, I am completely fine, what of you?" Charlotte questioned "Any women you have failed to mention?" at this, Philip and John fixated their eyes upon Francis who stared at the ground, Philip cleared his throat and Francis looked up, he groaned and looked at his sister,

"Yes I do have an interest in someone and you shall not know about hi- them" Francis' face dropped and he stared back at the ground silently,

"Anyway sister, do you have a certain someone you are hiding, hm?" Philip asked his sister, raising an eyebrow, Charlotte scoffed,

"Do not be silly, how am I supposed to find a husband in a mere three days?" She rolled her eyes at her eldest brother,

"If you keep on rolling your eyes like that they will roll to the back of your head Charlotte" Philip grinned, Charlotte attempted to hide her smile but she could not,

"Sister there is something I wish to say-" before Philip could finish Anthony bounded over, startling Charlotte, she whacked his arm,

"Charlotte that was extremely unladylike, you should not do such things in public!" Anthony yelled, Charlotte took a deep breath in keeping herself calm, she smiled,

"Anthony, these are my brothers," he raised an eyebrow "John," Anthony held out his hand to shake John's and he simply made a face, looked away and shook his hand "Francis," Francis bowed slightly to the Viscount and shook his hand, maintaining eye contact the whole time, it was quite entrancing really "and Philip" Anthony stuck his hand out to shake his and Philip took it gladly, smiling,

"now you see boys, I do believe Anthony and Philip shall be the best of friends for they are both the biggest rakes in London!" John and Francis stifled a laugh while Philip and Anthony glared,

"If you'll excuse me, I believe I am in need of a drink, goodbye brothers, Bridgerton" Francis placed his head in his hand and giggled at his sister,

"Well, we can all see who the true leader of our siblings is can't we," John smirked attempting to not crack a full smile, "I think we are going to just er- go er- over there..." John told the older men, and before he could finish Francis began dragging him away, they burst into laughter at the end of the hall and Philip sighed,

"I do apologise Lord Bridgerton, they are most immature," Anthony chuckled at him,

"Do not worry Lord Hamilton, I get enough of it from your sister, I am used to it oh, and please call me Anthony," Anthony began walking with Philip, he smiled,

"And you call me Philip" the pair went to go and find the rest of the Bridgertons.
