"you haven't been pestering our guest now have you Theo?" Mr Laurence said as we all sat for breakfast. "no Sir, he's been just the welcoming gentleman i needed to help me settle," i said smiling. "please, call me James," he said before taking a drink from his cup. i felt Teddy kick my foot from under the table. i looked at him in confusion however he mouthed the words, 'thank you'.
"am i really the welcoming gentleman you needed?" Teddy said mocking me and my english accent. i shoved his shoulder and laughed. "god save me," i said while still laughing as he held his shoulder and fake pouted. "i can feel a great friendship coming on between the two of us Miss Blair," he said bowing, i smiled and place a kiss onto his hand. "i could not agree with you more Mr Theodore," i added. he nodded then spun and started walking away.
he exited the front door and continued to walk, i quickly ran to the door and watched him as he walked along the path. "where are you going Teddy?" i shouted in confusion, my pink gown moving slightly due to the breeze. he looked back at me with a smirk. "can cope without me already? gosh Blair i've only known you for a day," he chucked cockily. i blushed slightly and hid my face behind the large wooden door. "i'm kidding," he smiled. he started at my flustered face for a while without speaking. he shook his head out of his daze and shouted, "the Marches, im going to see the Marches."
"Teddy wait!" i shouted pulling my shawl over my shoulders and rushing towards him. "you will be the death of me Theodore Laurence," i said holding my out of breath chest. he giggled and rolled his eyes. "you love it really," he said cockily as we walked together to the March's home. "Blair you're back," Jo smiled and pulled me away from Teddy. "i am indeed," i laughed as she took me to the main room of the house. "lovely to see you again Blair," Marmee smiled. i smiled back at her as she dusted the mantle. "hello Blair," Beth said quietly, "hello Beth," i smiled. Amy gave me a quick hug then ran to the kitchen for some reason.
"girls, tonight it's the summer time party at Sallie Moffat's house," Marmee smiled. Sallie Moffat, that name, i knew it. "Laurie you can see Julia," Meg smiled as she walked into the room. i saw him blush slightly. "Blair you have to come, i don't know if i can cope watching Teddy stumble over his words and blush at everything she says," Jo said with a smile, Teddy just rolled his eyes. "can i?" i said looking at Teddy, "why not," he smiled back at me. "thank the lord," Jo said with a bright smile.
Teddy and i returned home soon after, i'd spent the last hour getting ready for the gathering. i didn't want to make a bad impression at my first social event. i brushed my hair in the mirror and admired my baby blue gown, it was one of my favourites, my Papa made it for me, his designs were world renowned. i heard a small knock on my door, "come in," i said, the door opened slightly and there came in Teddy and his perfect little curls. "you look handsome," i smiled looking at his reflection in the mirror. "i'm sure Julia will love it," i added turning to actually face him. he was a lot closer to me then i thought, i took a step back however he just looked at me and didn't speak. "you look beautiful Blair," he said quietly, i blushed slightly, "why thank you," i said looking to his green eyes. "look at me," i said drawing his attention to my face. the boy towered over me, i looked up at his now sweetly smiling face. i straightened out his collar and tie, "perfect," i smiled before making my exit from the room.
