Marissa nodded as he walked in there, he stood in front of the mirror and smiled shyly.
He looked back at Alanna, "Will you help me look really nice... I...want to look my best tonight"

"your wanting to impress Angelo aren't you." she said as she took out the pins already in his hair. counting them each as she laid them out she smiled. "I thought you might have an interest develop for him."

Marissa blushed and looked down, "N-no...not at...all...well...maybe...a little.." He said softly as he chewed his thumbnail. "I...I just want him to see that I'm happy here..."

"He already has seen that your happy here, you don't need to do your self up for him." her hand quickly had his hair down, brushed, and then back up in the style that he wanted. "will you be thinking one day you might want to become his lover?"

Marissa blushed and looked down a little, "I-I dunno..." he whispered softly.
"I-I've never had anyone return feelings for me...so...I don't know... May-maybe.."

"well then we will make you look extra special tonight." pulling out a little bag from a drawer she started applying makeup to his face.

Marissa smiled and nodded as he watched her work in the Mirror, "Thank you Alanna" He said happily.

"No thank you." she finished putting on the eyeliner that she had made herself. "you do not know how long I have been wanting to be a lady's maid, and when you leave here if you don't take me with you I will have a recommendation from him that will open any door I want so that I can work any where."

Cameron smiled and nodded a bit when her hand moved away from his face for a moment.
"I suppose my taking you along depends on where I go.." He said softly.

"and we will cover that when the time comes, for now you need to get down stairs and impress the master." she smiled at her handy work. the master would truly be impressed, maybe even send a massage to the carriage not to pick up his old lover now.

Marissa smiled and looked in the mirror, he blushed a little at the sight of his own reflection.
"Oh...my Your really quite good at this..." he said softly.

" I have had practice with the other maid's, but now is the time for action not for sitting around admiring oneself." gently shooing him out of the bathroom she was happy.

Marissa laughed and nodded, "But of course" He said demurely as he hurried to the door.
He walked into the parlor and looked around, not really sure where to go now.

sitting on the couch Angelo was reading a book. he seemed not to have noticed that Marissa was back in the room.

Marissa coughed a little to announce himself and then smiled, "Sir...if you are ready for dinner then so am I.." He said softly.

looking up Angelo did a double take. "I see we have picked a very good Ladies maid." standing he set the book down and offered his arm to Marissa. "so if I may ask why make your self more beautiful?"

Marissa blushed and took his arm with a smile, "I like to look nice for dinner...its a habit of mine?" He ventured. It was a lie... but he wondered if the master might pick up on it.

tilting his head to one side Angelo noted the change of heart beat, but if Marissa did not want to tell the truth of it he was not going to push. "well you look very nice. I hope that you do not mind but I will be unavailable to you latter tonight." he was going to have to talk to Alanna and find out what brought this change of dress.

Marissa looked up looking a little gloomy. "Ah that's fine" He said with a soft fake smile. He clung to Angelo's hand tightly and followed him. He'd just have to make the best of this.

stopping angelo turned Marissa to him. "your not telling me the truth, I would like it if you did." he held Marissa's shoulders as he tried to look in his eyes. "I am very good at reading when a person is lying, and I dont like those that I care for to lie to me."

Marissa looked down and shook his head, "N-no sir... it's not my place to say such things..." He said softly as his eyes darted to the ground shyly.
He was nervous now, his heart was racing he was starting to panic a little at the thought of revealing his feelings.

"if I ask you to then it is your place." letting Marissa's shoulders go Angelo sighed. was he just putting his own spin on how Marissa was acting or was he really acting like a love sick puppy?

Marissa just shook his head, mouth clamped shut. He stared at the ground tears forming in those eyes, threatening to ruin Alanna's beautiful hard work.

"come now then let us not have this ruin our dinner." taking his hand once again Angelo sighed. this was going to be a bit harder then he had thought. it would be good to have some one else to talk to latter tonight.

Marissa nodded and pulled a hanky from one of the many folds on the dress and started to dab at his eyes a little.
He grabbed Angelo's arm again and took off after him.
