RCDAW Day 5 - New York Plus Two
Just a couple days later 🤦🏼♀️ Now my life has settled down, hopefully I can get caught up because today is the last day of Red Carpet Diaries Appreciation Week 2022. This has been super fun and although we haven’t had much participation, but it’s all good. I really slacked on this one and only used the one word prompt.
Prompt will be in bold.
Thomas tags: @choicesrcd2022 @alj4890
RCDAW tags: @alleksa16 @kuladekiwi @lilyoffandoms @moodyvalentinestories
Warnings: none
****
After realizing her brother and Addison would be a perfect couple, Natalia knew she must fly her friend to New York for Christmas. She and Thomas decided to stay a full week and her family, mostly her mother, doesn’t mind the extra guest. Most of their time in New York has been relaxing and consisted of all sorts of Christmas activities. Not to mention all the dates Thomas has taken her on. Many five star restaurants have been tried or revisited and both have favorites they’ve found together.
“Landon, mother, we are home.” Natalia leads Addison and the suitcase toting Thomas into the foyer before Mr. DuBois helps them with her luggage and coats.
The blonde marvels at the estate, running her fingers across the delicate woodwork that the mantle dons. Her eyes trace each piece of artwork on the walls and each statue setting atop one of the many tables.
“Is that a true Monet? A real one?!” She squeals quietly, rushing over to it, admiring each and every brushstroke.
“Indeed, it is.” Landon strides in, wearing an easy smile while his unruly chestnut hair is freshly trimmed and combed into place. “I am Landon York, Natalia’s brother.”
Addison freezes when the handsome young man extends his hand, her eyes widening slightly at the sight of him. His olive skin is perfect and his smile could rival many of the multimillion dollar, heartthrob actor’s.
“I—erm—“
“This is Addison Sinclaire. A very talented fashionista.” Natalia nudges her friend with an elbow.
Clearing her throat and pushing hair off her reddened cheeks, she takes Landon’s hand, shaking it. “It’s so nice to meet you. Nat has told me so much about you.”
Quietly pulling Thomas away from her intended targets, Natalia whispers into his ear, “I think it’s working.”
She smiles towards her brother and her friend talking and standing close together as they admire the art around the foyer. Soon, Landon leads Addison to the great room, giving her a tour.
“Natalia, are you certain this is the best idea?” Thomas’ deep voice is hushed as he wraps an arm around her waist.
Her shoulders raise and fall in a shrug, “Worst case scenario, they never see one another again. Best case… my brother and my friend will become what each other needs.”
He squeezes her waist, sighing quietly, “I do hope your idea works and does not hurt either in the process.”
She turns in his arm and places her hands on his chest, smoothing out his blazer. “I’ll believe for the best outcome. I just want to see them both happy.”
“As will I.” He kisses her softly, cupping her cheek with a gentle hand and rubs his thumb across her cheekbone.
By the time dinner was served, Addi and Landon had started becoming quite close. Thankfully, Mr. York had a prior engagement and would not be present for dinner, so the mood is light and cheerful. Quiet Christmas music plays while the clinking of silverware on fine china accents it. Most of the conversations have died since the food has been served, save for the two sitting together and whispering between laughs.
“Landon, perhaps you two would like to share what is so amusing?” Their mother looks at him with a neutral expression, but her eyes hold a glimmer of mischief.
A deep red flush spreads across his handsome face, but Addison just smiles brightly.
“I was just telling Landon, since I’ve been here, I’ve thought about starting a clothing line for all the statues that are naked. The sculptors were so inconsiderate.”
Thomas nearly chokes on his bite of beef Wellington, he hurriedly swallows before glaring at his former student and taking a sip of water.
Mrs. York just laughs, dabbing the corners of her mouth with a cloth napkin, shaking her head in amusement. “I’ve often wondered why they must show the human body so freely myself.”
Rubbing his back and holding back a smile, Natalia looks at the flustered Thomas, still glaring and scowling at Addison who just beams at him. He leans over to Nat, pressing his lips against her ear and bracing his hand on the back of her chair.
“You’ve created a monster, Miss York.” His lips subtly brush against her cheek before he sits straight again, shooting Addi a warning glance.
A simple grin is her only response and Thomas just moves his scowl to the woman next to him.
Once the plates have been cleared and everyone is full from a four course dinner Addison stands and claps her hands together excitedly. “Can we take a picture?”
“A photograph? But why?” Landon quirks a brow at the beautiful blonde standing next to him, he looks up to her with a smile across his face.
She proceeds to grab his hand and pull him up to stand with her before looking at the rest of the group. “Because! It’s our first dinner together and all of you mean so much to me. You’ve made me feel like a part of the family.”
Wearing a motherly smile, Elizabeth stands and nods. “I agree. This is a memory I’ll cherish for a long time.”
Her soft gaze slowly travels from her son and the woman who has grabbed his attention to her daughter and Thomas. All she has ever wanted was her children to be happy, seeing them happy in this moment, it means they must savor it.
The group gathers in front of one of the fireplaces when Carlton, the butler, comes up to the family. “Would you like me to take the photo for you?”
“Nonsense.” Natalia gently grabs the older man’s arm and pulls him into the group. “You will be in the photo with us, Mr. DuBois. You are family as well.”
Thomas grumbles quietly being squished between Natalia and Addison, scowling at the blonde when she hugs him tightly with one arm. Natalia ignores his grumpiness and focuses on the way her brother’s arm wraps around Addison’s waist, pulling her smaller body tight against his.
Addi looks up to the man next to her who has quickly turned her hopeless romantic ideas into beliefs since she met him.
He’s so charming, kind, funny, and handsome.
Their eyes meet and Landon’s smile grows as he gazes into her blue eyes.
Carlton got a younger maid to take the photo, and thankfully for Thomas’ sake, she didn’t take ten minutes to simply get one good photo. Before anyone else could look at the picture, Addison squeals while she reviews it. As the whole group gathers around, smiles grow wider.
Thomas pulls Natalia a ways away to kiss her softly and hold her close to him for a moment.
“I believe you can also add matchmaker to your list of talents.” As he releases her from his embrace, they both watch as Landon leads Addison off towards the large windows overlooking the city. “I’ve noticed how they’ve begun looking at one another. It reminds me of us.”
Her brother’s fingers are laced with Addison’s and Natalia feels her heart swell at the sight. She looks up to Thomas, only to find his gaze on her already. His eyes soften as he leans down and kisses her forehead.
“Every woman deserves a man to look upon her like you look at me.”
Thomas smiles when she rests her head on his chest, tightening his arm around her shoulders.
It was a perfect evening, for Christmas cheer and love was in the air.

Is Alex bi? I think I saw you say if she didn't end up with Hunt she would choose Addison?
I did say that... I also said that it wouldn't happen because Halex is endgame in every universe, but I did say if I had to choose another LI it would be Addison...
It would be very easy for me to say yes, Alex is bi, but I've never written her that way necessarily so I don't want to take away from characters who are and have always been written as bi.
So I'm going to say RCD Alex is not bi. She is heterosexual. She might have a playful girl crush, but nothing serious that she'd pursue. So RCD would never end up with Addison. They're just best friends and super close. I'm really set on my RCD family with the twins and Bogart. They have my whole heart.
BUT, HWU!Alex I will comfortably say is bi. Again, I've never overtly written it, but I do think about it. InGame Alex did date Addison in between Hunt date quests. I have considered writing a scene where for Alex's birthday, Hunt invites Addison for one night to play with them (for Alex). I don't know if I'll ever write it, but I definitely imaged it enough 🙈🙈🙈 I also think Alex would have an innocent crush on Ellie (that she may or may not drunkingly confess at some point and joke about a foursome with Ethan and Ellie).
I hope that answers your question, in a long about way of saying both No and Yes!
Thanks for the ask!
[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer] [Ethan Ramsey x Ellie Shepherd] [Love & Scotch: a HollywoodU/Open Heart Crossover]

In Times of Comfort
(Thomas Hunt x OC) in a Choices Red Carpet Diaries/The Royal Romance Crossover drabble.
Thirty Kisses in Thirty Days Challenge with the prompt: a kiss to the forehead, meant to soothe.
A/N Thomas Hunt x Amanda after Maxwell's death in *While We're Young AU*) as requested by @twinkleallnight This is shortly after Amanda and her daughters move to California in an attempt to get away from reminders of Maxwell and his death.
Rating G for angsty fluff
Trigger Warnings: mentions of character death and grieving
@hopelessromantic1352 @trappedinfanfiction @flyawayboo @sophxwithers @twinkleallnight @tessa-liam @choicesficwriterscreations
Masterlist
"I don't know." Emily Beaumont mumbled. "It doesn't feel right to go to a party."
Amanda sat quietly as her daughters debated on whether or not to go out for the evening.
Her older daughter, Nicky, had become Addison Sinclaire's assistant. Working with the famed costume designer allowed her to meet and mingle with many of the actors who graced the theater screens.
Since Hollywood was a town where one needed to be seen, there were numerous parties nearly every night. It made sense that the invitations were beginning to roll in for Cordonia's beloved Beaumont sisters. They were young, beautiful, fun, and incredibly sweet.
Their party loving nature came from their late father. Amanda knew how much fun they used to have in going out before his death. She hated that they felt like they had to remain away from everyone and grieve. She knew Maxwell wouldn't have wanted that for them.
"I think you should go." Amanda told them, picking at the food on her plate.
"But--" Emily was about to argue.
"We've been here for two months." Her mother pointed out. "We finally finished unpacking and I think you girls should celebrate that accomplishment."
Nicky reached over and placed her hand on hers.
"What about you, Mom? Would you like to come with us?"
Amanda shook her head, keeping her eyes lowered. "No, I think I'll stay in."
The girls shared a glance.
That's all their mother did. She rarely left the home they'd settled in. She refused invitations to meet friends for lunch or dinner. She only went out if they needed something from the grocery store or if Thomas asked for her help at the studio.
They knew that she was still in complete anguish over losing their father. Her once bright, sunny personality was shuttered away. She'd still smile at them and try and be her old self, but they knew it was an act.
Nicky and Emily could hear her muffled sobs late at night. Amanda would usually go to bed early, claiming she was exhausted, and lock herself away with the memories of her beloved husband.
The girls were still grieving, but nothing like how their mother was.
"Okay." Nicky got up to clear her and her sister's plate away. "We'll leave in an hour Em."
Emily pushed back from the table. She didn't want to leave her mother alone but she knew if she put up an argument, she'd end up upsetting both her and Nicky.
She knew her sister needed a break from the sadness. They all did. But Emily's heart hurt more for their mom than for her own loss. She couldn't imagine losing someone who was not only a best friend but also one's true love.
She paused on her way to go upstairs and swooped down, engulfing her mother in a hug from behind.
Amanda blinked back tears over it.
Maxwell used to do that, she thought to herself.
He was always coming up behind her and wrapping her up in a hug. She wondered if her Emily even knew how many traits she shared with her father.
She reached back and gently patted her daughter's cheek.
"Love you, Mums." Emily said softly.
"Love you too, angel." Amanda replied, kissing her cheek. "I want you to have a good time tonight." She smiled at her. "Dance for me, okay?"
Emily nodded.
"Good. Now go put on that new dress Nicky picked out for you. I know you're going to be a knockout in it. Hollywood won't know what to do with you once they see you."
Emily snorted on a giggle. "I don't know about that."
"Trust me. My girls are nothing but gorgeous." Amanda got up to get rid of her barely touched plate. "Just try and prove me wrong."
Emily beamed at her then ran upstairs.
Once she was out of sight, Amanda went into the kitchen.
"Leave those." She ordered. "I'll clean them."
"But you did the cooking." Nicky argued. "Beaumont's always split the chores."
Amanda briefly closed her eyes. Maxwell used to tell their daughters that every time they did something together.
"I know." She managed to say without crying. "But, I want you to go dress up. You deserve a night of carefree fun after all you've been through."
Nicky averted her eyes. She couldn't imagine a worse time in her life. Not only had she lost her beloved father, but she'd also lost her own, what she once believed, true love. She would be lying if she said she didn't need to go out and get her mind off of things, even if it was for a few hours. She needed a distraction to stop thinking about life without her father and life without Lord Jackson Nevrakis-Walker.
Setting a dishtowel down, she hugged her mother tight.
Amanda held her, gently smoothing her daughter's hair. She wished she could take all of her pain away. It killed her to see her Nicky like this.
Nicky sighed and stepped back. "I'll do my best to be carefree."
"Good." Amanda shooed her out of the kitchen. "I want you to smile and enjoy everything tonight."
"I'll try." She promised.
*****************
"How do we look, Mums?" Emily twirled around.
Amanda nodded, forcing a smile. "Gorgeous. Just like I knew you would."
"We'll be back early." Nicky promised.
"You'll do nothing of the sort!" Amanda followed them to the door. "I don't want to hear you coming in until the sun is rising."
"Yeah, but--" Emily tried to tell her they didn't want her left alone.
"I mean it." Amanda said in a firm tone. "Have a night of pure fun."
Nicky looped her arm with her sister's to tug her out the door.
"We'll do our best." She told her.
Once the door closed, both girls finally gave in to their worries.
"We can't leave her alone!" Emily grumbled. "You know what she's going to do while we're gone."
"I know. But she won't stop worrying about us if we don't go." Nicky slid into the back of a waiting town car.
Emily followed her, brow furrowed as she looked back at the place they were currently calling home.
Nicky chewed on her bottom lip while trying to think of what to do. If they were in Cordonia, she wouldn't be as worried. She knew her parents' friends would be there, drawing her mother out of her grief.
If only they had someone close by who could do the same--
"I'll call Uncle Thomas." Nicky told her sister. "He'll go check on her for us."
"You think he's home?" Emily asked, hope tinging her voice.
"I know he isn't at a party." Nicky teased.
The girls leaned their heads close together as they waited anxiously with each unanswered ring.
"Hello?" Thomas said on the fifth ring.
"Uncle Thomas?" Nicky greeted with a great deal of relief. "It's me and Emily."
"Is everything all right?" He asked.
"Kinda." Emily replied.
It didn't take long before the girls shared their worries with him.
"I'll go over there." He promised. "Don't worry, I'll make sure Amanda isn't alone tonight."
"Thank you." Nicky said, fighting back tears.
"We knew we could count on you to help her." Emily added. "Maybe she'll open up to you. Mums is keeping everything inside and won't talk to us about how she's feeling."
"I know she's doing it to not upset us." Nicky explained. "She's trying to make everything normal or at least as normal as things can be right now."
"I see." Thomas reassured them again he'd go over there.
When the girls ended the call, he sat back in his chair as he debated what to do. He knew if he called and gave Amanda any warning that he was coming over, she'd probably do her best to talk him out of it. Deciding that he wasn't going to put her through that type of stress, he got up and grabbed his car keys.
He wasn't entirely sure what he should do once he got there, but he was determined to try and help someone he deeply cared for.
****************
As soon as she knew the girls weren't coming back for anything they might have forgotten, Amanda sank down onto the couch and allowed her depression to finally be set free.
Tears began fall in steady paths down her cheeks as she stared at the wall. She pulled her knees to her chest, rested her chin on them, and thought about Maxwell. How could she possibly go on without him? He'd been everything to her. Her entire world revolved around him and the family they'd created.
She didn't have him here reassuring her with the decisions she'd made. Did she do right in taking the girls out of Cordonia? With Nicky's infamous breakup, Emily being publicly cheated on, and Maxwell's death; she couldn't see a way around it. They needed to get away from so many memories.
But...
She had so many here in California with Maxwell. With each of them writing and their novels being used for movies and series, they'd spent a lot of their time together in Hollywood. Perhaps she shouldn't have accepted Thomas's suggestion to come here.
Her breaths became audible as she began to think about her past. Romantic moments with Maxwell began to go through her mind. All the anniversaries where he went above and beyond what most would deem normal struck hard. She could recall each outrageous gift, the kisses, the moments alone, his words of love...everything.
She realized why those were haunting her tonight. Tomorrow would have been their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.
*****************
A few months earlier...
"This is a big one." Maxwell teased. "We have to really think hard about how to celebrate this anniversary."
"What did you have in mind?" Amanda asked, looping her arms around his neck.
His lips curved as he pulled her close for a kiss.
"Definitely a whole lot of that." He winked at her. "I think we should do a second honeymoon after a Beaumont Bash that puts all previous bashes to shame."
"Isn't that what you say about every new Beaumont Bash?" She teased.
"Yeah, but this one is for my all-time favorite love story." He explained, kissing her deeply. "I can't think of anything more important than celebrating you and me."
"Neither can I." She sank into his embrace, feeling all the thrills his touch still gave her after all these years together.
"Good. I'm thinking for our second honeymoon, we go somewhere where we can be alone." His eyes closed when she kissed his neck. "After all our travels with the girls and everybody, I need you all to myself for a while."
"How long's a while?" She asked, loving his ideas as usual.
"A month." He decided. "If we go longer, I know you'll get tired of me."
"Impossible." She smiled up at him.
He grinned. His dimples she adored deepened with her saying what he hoped was still true.
"There's that reason why I married you!" He laughed when she playfully pushed him away.
Maxwell snagged her hand, twirling her back within his arms.
"I love you so much, Lady Beaumont." He whispered in her ear, hugging her tight.
"I love you too, Lord Beaumont."
***************
Amanda buried her head against her knees as her body became wracked with sobs.
***************
Thomas was relieved he had a spare key. When his knock went unanswered, he quietly slipped inside. Before he could even take a step over the threshold, he could hear Amanda crying.
He shut the door and followed the sounds into the living room.
His heart ached at the sight of her curled up on the couch. Her shoulders shook with each hoarse cry for Maxwell. All the tears had turned her hazel eyes gray.
Without a word, he sat down beside her and gently pulled her into his arms.
Amanda clutched tight to him, burying her face against his shoulder as she continued to cry her heart out.
He sat there, occasionally rubbing her back and allowed her to simply grieve.
She needed this. She needed someone to remain quiet and not speak the usual platitudes of time healing. She didn't want anyone crying with her. She didn't mean to be selfish, but she needed her grief to be front and center. Anyone else sobbing beside her would have made her feel like she had to stop her own sorrow to comfort them.
With her daughters, it was different. Their broken hearts broke hers in a different way, thus making her be the strong one. She knew she had to help hold them while the onslaught of slashes from depression struck their tender hearts.
Maxwell had been the one to always hold Amanda and simply let her cry. For their entire life together, she knew she could turn to him without hesitation or worry over what he might think. She allowed herself to drop all her barriers and simply be the timid little girl who feared losing loved ones she thought she still was.
She'd lost her parents when she was twelve. Her uncle, when she was barely twenty. And now she'd lost the one man who had been by her side throughout all those deaths that had nearly broken her.
How could she possibly recover from losing Maxwell without him here to hold her?
Her sobs eventually quieted. The tears still fell as she simply remained in Thomas's arms. She was exhausted from this harsh episode and didn't even have the strength to apologize for crying so hard on him.
Thomas rested his head against hers and continued to hold her tight as if willing his strength to give her comfort.
Amanda swallowed, eyes closing when she felt him place a kiss on her forehead. She didn't realize how much she needed that tender reassurance that she was not alone.
On instinct, she curled more against his side, selfishly taking every scrap of comfort he was giving her.
He gently brushed her hair back that was sticking to her damp cheeks. With one arm around her waist, he began to run his fingers through her hair, slowly soothing her back into a calm state of mind.
He wasn't entirely certain how long they sat like that with neither saying a word. Thomas only knew he would stay there for as long as she needed him to.
When the clock chimed one in the morning, he knew Amanda had fallen asleep in his arms. He carefully eased away from her to find a blanket to cover her up with.
He paused when she grasped his hand.
"Please." She pleaded in a hoarse whisper. "Please, don't leave me. I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't ask it of you but--"
Her red rimmed eyed held his. They revealed the deep well of pain that threatened to consume her once more.
"I'm not going anywhere." He promised. "I'm only going to retrieve a blanket for us."
Her head jerked in a nod of understanding as fresh tears pricked her eyes once more.
He found a blanket in a hall closet and sat back down beside her. Before she could even move, he pulled her back within his arms then draped the blanket over them both.
Thomas pressed another kiss to her forehead once she rested her cheek on his shoulder.
"Rest." He whispered, his lips brushing her skin with each word. "I'll be right here the whole time."
Amanda hugged him close to her. Exhaustion won out before she could stay awake long enough to thank him.
Her last thought before sleep took over was that she didn't know how to move on from Maxwell, but having Thomas here made the notion of having to do so a little less painful.

If she couldn't end up with Thomas, who would Alex have chosen?
Uh.... no?.
I don't understand this configuration of words. What do you mean if she didn't end up with Thomas. She must! It's the rules (and I don't make those up... lol)
There is no universe in which Alex does not find Thomas (or vice versa). No matter their occupations, where they live, or when it happens, they are destined to be together always. If Thomas doesn't exist in her universe, she'll somehow find a universe where there is not an Alex and they will fall in love. My OTP is forever in every universe and in all timeline across the multiverse!
....but if I really really reallyyyyyyy had to choose, for the sake of this hypothetical never to exist decision... Alex would choose Addison. Even then, I don't think it would ever work out. I think Alex would give it a try. I think they'd have fun together, but grow apart romantically and just remain friends. Alex belongs with Thomas, always and forever. He is her one true love.
Thanks for the ask 💛

And Then I Met You
Part 24
What happens when the one you thought you were meant for turns out to be meant for someone else?
A\N Choices Fan Fiction with characters from The Royal Romance, Red Carpet Diaries, and Perfect Match
Masterlist
A/N Sorry for the delay. With the holidays and multiple bouts of sickness, time got away from me.
@lxaah11 @alleksa16 @penguininapinktuxedo @blackcoffee85 @stopforamoment @hopefulmoonobject @krsnlove @annekebbphotography @cora-nova @bella-ca @hopelessromantic1352. @sunflowergirl05 @desiree-0816 @greywitchyshots @lilyofchoices @emceesynonymroll @dr-nancy-house @aworldoffandoms @ab1901 @lolablackwrites @flyawayboo @i-bloody-love-drake-walker. @trappedinfandoms @kate-mckenzie
Part 24
"What do you think?" Nadia clasped her hands together and tried to keep still as she waited on the verdict.
Amanda and Thomas stared at their wedding portrait she had created.
"How--" Thomas began
"When--"Amanda said at the same time.
"I worked on it after each social event." She explained. She grinned at Maxwell. "With the help of espresso and cookies, I was able to complete it while you were gone."
Thomas slipped his hand in Amanda's as he continued to study Nadia's view of them.
"Do I really look like that?" Amanda whispered in awe.
"Yes." He tugged her close. "And the way I am drawn looking at you is most accurate."
She smiled softly. "My expression is spot on too."
Maxwell cocked his head to the side and studied the painting. "I can't believe you wouldn't let me look at it as you worked on it."
"It's incredible!" Addison exclaimed.
"What image did you use to paint them so accurately?" Holly asked.
Nadia shook her head. "None. I wanted to paint what I had observed over time."
"It's perfect." Thomas told her.
Amanda hugged the petite artist. "I can never thank you enough. I love it and know that one day my children and grandchildren will too."
Nadia beamed proudly. "I know you eloped and that I should have gone with your house colors, but there was something about that night you two went to the awards ceremony. You both were caught on camera looking at one another as if seeing each other differently. That's why I put you both in those clothes."
"Red carpet moment for Hollywood's noble couple." Ryan teased. "Seems appropriate to me."
"I'm just happy it is ready for the guests to see during the ball tomorrow night." Amanda added. "I intend on encouraging everyone to see it and to use Nadia for all further portraits."
"I'll give the guided tours." Maxwell offered. He pressed a sweet kiss to Nadia's lips. "Everyone needs to see how talented you are."
"You're going to make me cry!" Nadia turned into Maxwell's arms. "Thank you."
"Well, they weren't the only ones busy." Olivia announced. "We worked with Hudson on the theme of your ball."
"You did?" Amanda asked in surprise. She stared at even Drake nodding. "You too?"
"I couldn't escape." He muttered. "Olivia wouldn't allow defectors."
"What is the theme?" She asked.
"Under the Stars." Holly explained. "We thought given both of your new statuses, it seemed appropriate."
"We wanted something like the Two Seasons Ball but they wouldn't go along with it." Ryan explained.
"Everyone knows that Winters and Summers are the best." Chris added with a wink. "Probably would have been even more exposure for the upcoming film."
Amanda laughed. "I will try and plan that for the next ball."
"This is why you are our favorite out of Thomas's wives." Ryan teased.
______________
Thomas waited downstairs for his wife to finish dressing. Addison had arrived earlier and demanded he leave. She had a surprise for the two of them.
His conversation with Drake and Liam broke off when he looked up. The other two men turned to see what had made him speechless.
Addison beamed at his reaction as Amanda walked downstairs in the gown she had created. The royal blue colors of her dress twinkled like stars in a night sky from the many crystals sewn throughout. The gown was different from her others in how, as Addison had deemed it, confidently daring it was with the high slit along her right leg and the low cut bodice. The capped sleeves were hanging past her shoulders as if to tease one into thinking the dress was barely held on her curves so prominently displayed. Her hair was piled in a loose bun with stray curls brushing along her neck. Her great grandmother's blue diamond necklace graced her throat while a blue diamond cuff rested on her wrist.
Thomas pushed past the two men and met her at the bottom of the stairs.
Her lips curved softly at him. She dipped into a curtsy. "Your grace."
He took her hand and pulled her into his arms. "You look--"
"Don't you dare crush her dress!" Addison called down.
He glared up at her for interrupting the tender moment.
Amanda chuckled and leaned close to his ear. "Tell me when we are alone." She whispered then tenderly kissed his cheek
He promised he would, making her smile. She took his arm and greeted Drake and Liam.
________________
Their guests began to arrive shortly thereafter. The couple stood by the double doors to the ballroom, greeting each one.
Thomas kept his arm around her waist as some of the single noblemen ogled his wife. His crisp greetings followed by a warning glare snapped them out of finally noticing the duchess they had thus far only deemed passable.
Amanda bit the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing at his reaction. "I don't think they know what to make of this change Addison did." She whispered.
He finished keeping his hard gaze on a man who dashed into the ballroom. "I don't know if I should express gratitude for them not seeing you or gloat over being the one to notice how beautiful you are. Clearly they are blind imbeciles."
She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed a kiss to his lips. "I for one am very thankful you were the one to notice."
She smiled when he grumbled about not being able to leave with her for somewhere more private. "I do love you so, Thomas."
His lips eased. "I love you too." He stole another kiss from her before being forced to interact with yet another group.
Lauren and Tariq approached next. The actress's jaw dropped when she saw Amanda.
Thomas watched with pride as Amanda held herself with grace and aplomb. She nodded to the couple and welcomed them to St Orella.
Tariq also seemed surprised at Amanda's attire. He bowed and took Lauren's arm to leave. The actress stopped him as her eyes narrowed in suspicion. "I'm surprised to see you two. I thought you must have dropped off the face of the earth."
Amanda laughed and cut her eyes coyly to Thomas. "We became a little distracted once we were alone."
He smiled and kept his eyes solely on her. “Yes we did.” Thomas moved his hand further down her hip. "A distraction that not only held me captive but one I intend on repeating very soon."
Lauren's cheeks turned red at being ignored for the duchess once again. Even her darling Tariq struggled with keeping his eyes off her. "Good thing you married for money." She snapped. "It looks like your film career is over since you seem unable to actually begin filming."
Thomas opened his mouth to set the vain actress in her place. He had a number of insults to heap upon her. Just as he was about to unleash his temper, Amanda spoke first.
"Ignore the peasants, my love. I've found that is the best way to deal with the demented ones." She took his arm and entered into the ballroom, leaving Lauren staring once again in shock.
Holly and Nadia, who had been spying behind the door, rushed to tell the others what had happened.
"She was amazing!" Nadia exclaimed with excitement. "I have never seen her insult someone. It was done in such a cold superior way."
Olivia laughed in delight. "I wish I could have seen it."
"Here, I filmed it through the crack of the door." Holly pulled it up on her phone with an evil smile. "I intend to watch it often when I need a good laugh."
The Hollywood and Cordonian groups gathered in a tight circle as they watched the video. Laughter and pride was expressed by all of them.
Amanda and Thomas stepped up on the dais where a band awaited her signal.
"Welcome everyone." She called out in a clear, steady voice. "Lord Thomas and I are honored to have you each here for our first hosted event. Please enjoy all that St Orella has to offer." She smiled at the cheers and glanced at her husband.
He cleared his throat. "We also encourage everyone to take a tour of St Orella's gallery. Lady Nadia Beaumont's immense talent in on display. She honored us by creating our wedding portrait." He smiled softly toward Maxwell and Nadia. "I suggest you hurry to gain an appointment with her as soon as possible before I take advantage of our friendship and demand she paint only for us."
Nadia laughed while wiping the sentimental tears from her cheeks. Maxwell pulled her into his embrace. He yelled out that he would be the one leading the tours.
Amanda bowed her head toward the orchestra and took Thomas's arm as he led her off the platform. She whispered in his ear and he nodded. He elegantly bowed before Regina and led her, delighted with his asking her first, off in a waltz.
Amanda dropped into a curtsy before Constantine and Liam. The king smiled and sent Liam to dance with her, claiming he needed to save his strength if he was to make his queen remember that Lord Thomas was a married man.
She laughed and left him settling into a comfortable chair. She and Liam joined Regina and Thomas on the dance floor while everyone watched. It was clear the royal family thought highly of the duchess and new duke. Whispers abounded as Constantine smiled in approval when he saw his wife chuckling at whatever Thomas was saying. Couples joined once the two pairs made a turn about the dance floor and the ball officially began.

After a few songs, Ryan came up beside Holly. "How about you and I try this?"
She rolled her eyes. "Is that how you ask everyone to dance or am I special?"
"You're special." He said in a serious tone for once. He took her hand when she lifted an eyebrow in amazement. Before she could agree he twirled her out onto the floor.
_______________
"Go ask her!" Jessica ordered.
Matt shook his head. "She likes someone else."
"Come on, Matt." Chris urged. "You know her crush on Liam is harmless. She adores you and turns to you first every time she needs someone. Go and let her know you want more."
Matt looked over to the side of the ballroom where Addison was talking with Riley and Hana. He took a tentative step forward to only watch as a nobleman came and asked her to dance. He shook his head at his friends when the pair disappeared on the dance floor. "It's not meant to be."
Jessica, Chris, and his wife, Shannon, watched him head off in the opposite direction where a bar was set up.

Thomas searched the crowd and finally spotted his wife. She had finished her rounds and was now off by herself, watching couples dance and enjoy the food and drinks being set out. His lips curved as he was reminded of all the other times he had seen her content in remaining in the background.
She smiled when he came up beside her. "What do you think?"
"I think it is going well." He lifted her hand to his lips. "You're a perfect hostess."
She shook her head. "I can't take credit for any of this." Amanda leaned back against the wall. "Even my dress was not of my doing. All this is in thanks to highly talented people." Her eyes twinkled with humor. "I am very pleased to attract such individuals for friends and a husband."
He rolled his eyes. "You know very well how talented you are." His arm slipped around her. "They might have set this all up, but you are what is making the party." He tilted her face up to look into her eyes. "I am proud of you."
She wrapped her arm around his waist. "I don't know why with how little I have done."
He caressed her cheek while a soft smile played about his lips. "You've done everything. I'm especially proud of how you handled--" His lips firmed suddenly in a frown when they were interrupted by a man who's name he couldn't recall.
"Lady Amanda, may I have this dance?"
Thomas recognized the song beginning. "No." He answered for her. "My wife and I only dance the Cordonian Waltz with each other."
Without looking at Amanda, he tugged her toward the dance floor. He was well aware he had acted high handed, yet didn't care. He knew he would be unable to see her dance this particular one with anyone else. Her dress alone was making it nearly impossible to even let her walk around without him.
Thomas finally looked into her eyes when he twirled her into his embrace. She leaned closer and pressed a tender kiss to his lips.
They continued the dance, each wishing they were alone in the ballroom. Their eyes met with each turn. His eyes would drop down to her mouth, waiting for the moment he could kiss her as he desired. When it came to an end, he led her toward the back of the room.
"Where are we--" she gasped at how swiftly he moved her out into the dim courtyard by a hidden side door. "Thomas, we shouldn't--"
He pulled her into the shadows and kissed her exactly as he had wanted to since she had first come down the stairs. "I couldn't wait another moment." He whispered. "I have thought of little else other than this kiss."
Her arms wrapped around his waist pulled him closer to her. "I must confess that I hoped you would do this."
He smiled and captured her lips in another kiss.

As the ball continued to be praised as one of the highlights of the season, there were a few who weren't impressed with any of it.
"I can't believe she said that to me!" Lauren hissed again.
"The duchess has not been brought up like the rest of us. Her uncle did a poor job of raising her." Neville remarked. "Look at those she has chosen as close companions and confidants. Birds of a feather." He said with bitterness.
She nodded and forced a smile when Tariq returned with a glass of champagne. "Thank you."
"See." Neville pointed out. "You have more genteel manners in your little finger than she ever had." He stared at the door Amanda and Thomas had disappeared behind. "What hostess deserts her own function?"
Lauren nodded in agreement. "I knew you would understand, Lord Neville."
His eyes met hers. "When is the wedding to be?"
Tariq looked up and shrugged. "Whenever my Lauren decides."
She smiled at him. "Isn't he sweet?" Her smile slowly firmed into a disappointed pout. "It's a shame he doesn't find me as attractive as an ill mannered duchess."
Tariq tried to convince her that he didn't find Amanda attractive at all as she blinked back tears.
Neville told him he would talk to her when she rushed out of the ballroom. "You'll only make it worse with all your stutters." He snapped.
Tariq shoved his hands in his pockets. "You're right. Thanks Neville."
The future earl followed along her path. He found her in a small sitting room with all the lights turned off. Her silhouette was seen over on one of the couches.
She delicately sniffed and tried to make her voice tremble. "Please, my lord. Leave me to my despair."
Neville sat down beside her and took her in his arms. "Are you truly going to waste your life on Tariq?" He turned on a lamp to see her face. "Why didn't you wait on my return?"
Her dry eyes narrowed. "You left without a word. I never heard from you again." She stuck her nose up in the air. "Is it my fault that he fell in love with me?"
Neville slowly smirked. "Not at all, but you will end this sham of an engagement."
"And why should I?" She asked in a huff. "He is willing to give me everything that you have yet to offer." She looked at Neville and cocked her head. "Tariq is much more handsome than you."
Neville slammed his mouth over hers. He wrapped his hand in her hair and held her prisoner as she responded with angry desire.
"Would you rather marry a mere viscount or a future earl with his own island estate?" He asked.
Her eyebrow lifted. "I thought your father didn't approve of an actress in the family."
"You won't have to make another film, not with the riches my family has." He tempted her with such a promise. His lips touched hers again. "Countess Lauren rolls of the tongue more so than Vicountess Lauren."
She bit her lip and ran a finger down his shirt buttons. "I don't know." Her eyes lifted to his in mock conflict. "Tariq has been so kind to me. He has promised me everything I want. You are still under your father's rule."
Neville gripped her arms. "I will be an earl, a highly eligible one at that. As soon as Liam announces his choice, I won't be making this offer again. Why should I when I will have women fighting over me? Either you settle for Tariq and his adequate estate or you choose the better, richer noble." He let her go and left her debating on what she should do.

Drake noticed Olivia off by herself and made his way over. Something about the expression on her face made him pick up his pace.
"What's wrong?" He asked, sitting down beside her.
"Nothing." She muttered. Her eyes drifted from a recently returned Thomas and Amanda, to Maxwell and Nadia slow dancing, and finally landing on Liam and Riley talking off by themselves. Even Hana had caught Rashad's attention.
"Yes there is." Drake argued. "Don't pull that stoic crap with me."
She glared at him.
He stubbornly met her glare with his own.
"I was thinking how fast things are changing and yet I am nowhere near achieving a similar goal." She spat out.
"What are you talking about?"
She motioned toward their friends. "I didn't think much about it when Maxwell married, but then Amanda found Thomas. Now Liam will be settling down soon."
"So?" Drake prodded. "What has this got to do with your goals?"
Her hesitation unnerved him. "Your goal is to get married?" He couldn't believe it.
Her jade eyes were filled with disgust. "Don't be ridiculous. My goal is--"she turned back to observing ball. "My goal has been to obtain that which I never had."
"What is it?" He persisted.
"A family." Olivia admitted.
Drake stared at her in shock. He couldn't recall a time where she had ever wanted something so normal.
"Try and control your expression." She snapped. "I didn't suddenly sprout horns." Olivia folded her arms and tried to ignore him.
"You want kids?" He asked.
She looked up for divine intervention. "Yes. Is it really so odd?"
"No." He thought of her with a baby in her arms, threatening any who even looked like they might want to hurt it. She would give the term overprotective parent a whole new meaning. What was strange was how much he liked the image in his mind.
She straigtened her posture and turned to leave. She wasn't certain what it was that bothered her about him. All she knew was she wanted some space as she came to grips with everything going on. "I'll see you around, Walker."
"You'd make a great mom, Liv." He said, making her stop in her tracks. "Any kid would be lucky to have you taking care of him or her."
"You really--thank you." She managed to say.
Drake watched her approach Amanda, bidding her goodnight, and then left the ball.
________________
After midnight...
Amanda and Thomas waved goodbye as some guests left to return to their homes or hotels they were staying at. Others went upstairs to their rooms. The servants were already cleaning up the ballroom. Everything had been a success this evening.
Lauren was one of the last to leave with Tariq. She stuck her nose in the air and refused to acknowledge the two she hated at the moment.
Thomas ignored her and said goodbye to Tariq. Amanda wished him safe travels and didn't bother to include Lauren.
The actress couldn't believe they were letting her leave without an apology. She stormed off toward the waiting car when they turned to the next set of people leaving. Lauren began to think of ways to get back at the two that also wouldn't harm her chances in marrying a noble.
After the last car left, Thomas walked back inside with Amanda. She paused to see the progress on the ballroom. She encouraged Hudson and his team of maids and footmen to leave the rest for the next day.
Her husband took her hand and tugged her upstairs when it seemed she was going to linger. Once they were back in their bedroom, he pulled her close. He took a deep breath and simply enjoyed holding her.
"I'm going to miss you." She looked up at him. "I know it is only for a couple of weeks." She bit her lip. "And I know I will be able to visit once the court moves to Ramsford."
He kissed her forehead. "I will miss you too. I will be counting down the minutes until we are together."
"As will I." She looked over where his bags were packed and tightened her hold on him. "Tomorrow afternoon you will finally be doing what you have wanted to do all these months." She turned back toward him. "I'm sorry it took so long to get to this point."
"Don't be." He rested his forehead against hers. "I wouldn't alter one moment of the past five months."
She kissed him tenderly. "Neither would I."
"Good." He released her and took his jacket and bowtie off. His shirt was soon unbuttoned when she asked for help with undoing her dress.
She watched him in the reflection of the mirror as he started on the number of tiny hooks that had held her gown in place. A frown formed the further he went.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
He looked up and met her gaze in the mirror. "I've noticed that you usually have me help you in and out of dresses."
Her lips trembled with laughter. "I suppose I do."
"Who is going to help you when I'm gone?" His deep voice was laced with warning.
"That is an excellent question." She pretended to ponder. "I can't just ask anyone to help with this."
His eyes narrowed. "No. You can't."
"I guess I will have to resort to using the previous person who handled all this." She sighed softly and lowered her eyes. "Now I have one more reason to miss you."
Thomas finished the last few hooks and slipped his hands inside her dress. He pulled her back to his chest and waited for her to continue. When she instead tried to kiss him, he shook his head.
"Who was the previous person?"
She tried not to laugh at his irritation growing. "Me." She turned around and looped her arms around his neck. "You didn't honestly think I have some man waiting around to dress and undress me?"
"These dresses you've been wearing since we married do tend to be a two person job." He argued.
She tenderly kissed his lips. "That's because my intention with these dresses is to tempt you." Her lips moved down his neck. "If you aren't here, then there is no reason for them." She took him to her closet and held up one of her older gowns. The zipper was on the side. "See?"
He relaxed and pulled her close again. "Good. I would like for that particular job to be solely mine."
"I feel the same about you." Amanda kissed along his jaw while backing him out. "Over a great many things."
"It seems once more we are in agreement." He lowered his lips to hers once more when they reached the bed.
___________________
The next morning the two joined their friends for a farewell breakfast.
Addison sniffed while nibbling on a giant cinnamon roll. "I'm going to miss you guys."
Nadia teared up and hugged her. "I don't want you to go!"
Holly rolled her eyes and avoided looking at the ones she had surprisingly become close to.
Matt cleared his throat and let them know he was leaving today too. "I start filming the day after tomorrow for Tommy Phelps."
Addison looked up in surprise. "You are?! Why didn't you tell me?"
He shrugged. "You've been busy."
Thomas interrupted before Addison could cry over this new development. "You have all been a great help to me." He gripped Amanda's hand when she placed it on his leg. "Thank you for your intervention in that problem and for stepping in whenever we had other hurdles in our path."
Addison and Nadia began to cry at his words.
"That was--" Addison started.
"--so sweet!" Nadia finished.
Maxwell clapped Thomas on the shoulder. "We'll keep an eye on things here while you're gone." He noticed Amanda narrowing her eyes. "We won't let that annoyance do anything to your favorite duchess."
"I believe I am quite capable of taking care of myself." Amanda muttered. "With how you lot think of me, it is a wonder I am able to walk upright."
"Not always." Drake teased, ignoring her glare. "You do fall down a lot."
Amanda clamped her mouth shut. Her irritation soon turned to laughter. "I can't argue that point."
"May we come visit the set when we are free from duties?" Liam asked. "I would love to see the process."
"Of course." Thomas said, ignoring Addison's cheer. "You each are welcome." He checked the time and turned toward Amanda. "We have about two hours until I leave."
She set her teacup down and excused them. Their friends watched happily as the couple left outside for a walk.
Holly leaned forward once the two were far enough away. "Don't forget to watch Lauren."
Olivia nodded. "We won't. She might fool a number of the idiots here, but we know what she is."
