Why did you leave?

I kept looking forward into the dark space looking for him, where are you?, I said repeatedly. I quickly wore my under garments leaving my torn and already wet clothes.

where have you gone to now?, he said he was going to help my papa and now he has disappeared.

sire!!!!!!

sire!!!!!!

sire!!!!!!

I called out repeatedly, now I have no choice but to continue my journey on my own, I had to wear my wet and dirty clothes, I turned to leave when I heard a familiar voice.

"Where do you think you are going to little dove?", you are in my territory so you must not leave with my permission.

Really? you expect me to wait in this cold and dark place, and I asked you to wait why did you.....

shhhhh

No one dares to order me around little dove, I didn't promise to wait.

Why did you leave?

I felt my body shiver from her question and her already teary eyes.

You are going to help my papa right?, pls answer me sire i... I.... I really don't know what to do right now she said between sobs, I don't know if my papa is safe.

I promise to help your papa dovey.

Here, I said handing over the clothes to her. you should wear this and pull that off you I will be waiting behind that birch tree.

No!!!!!!, don't leave again just...just stay here and turn your back I said collecting the clothes from him.

I don't know why I couldn't protest and did exactly what she said.

Am done you can turn around now.

I heard her say she was done and decided to wait a little in case she needed more time.

I said am done sire, are you deaf or do you have a ear problem?.

I turned around and looked at her. Do I look like am deaf reddy.

"I told you my name didn't i?", and why do you always call me dove and now reddy?

I watched her put her two hand on her waist complaining, I smirked to myself and turned to go. If you want you can come along with me reddy.

Am not reddy am Zenobia, I said running and blocking his path, call me zenobia and I'll let you pass.

You are my little red dove, I said carrying her in a princess style.

You know I can walk so just drop me.

Are you sure you want me to drop you reddy, think about it.

Hmmm I don't mean it the way you are thinking , I meant I can.....you know what just forget about it, its not like I can win against you, I said in a whisper.

I smirked hearing what she said, I gently put her on the floor and her back resting on the oak tree. You should eat.

I handed her a steak, you should eat now reddy. Before I realised it, as though he casted a bewitching spell on me, I obeyed and collected the steak and fork from him.

I tried stabbing a piece of steak with the fork but I couldn't due to my injured hand, I tried using the other hand but couldn't, I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I forgot someone was beside me.

Do you need help?.

"Yes?!" I exclaimed instantly, flinching at the same time as I was jolted by his deep voice.

Our eyes locked, realising he was starring at my hair again I swallowed and nervously retracted my gaze to the water beside him, I took it and gulped all the contents even before eating. I was about to reach out for the fork when he grabbed both the steak and fork away from me. My eyes widened and followed his hand until it was placed on his lap, my mouth watered the more as I looked at steak been taken away from me and my stomach rumbled.

shhh I quickly said putting my hand on my stomach as if that was going to stop it from making noises, my lips parted and gazed at him as he began to slice the steak silently.

I don't know if he was upset about some thing but his face looked really serious as he gracefully cut the steak.

I knew she was watching me and decided to play on her, after I sliced the steak I put it close to my mouth.

"No!!", I couldn't help but yell, I immediately straddled him and took the steak into my mouth and closed my eyes savoring the delicious taste. My lips curved up seeing her reaction, and when she opened her red plump lips to take the steak into her mouth I couldn't help but gulped down simultaneously.

" You love it?"

"Yes". pls more she said with her eyes still closed. I thought she was going to flinch again but she didn't and I speared another steak and put it at her lips and she welcomed it opening her lips.

I love it, I love it, I love it I said pulling him close to me and lost balance of myself, and that was when I realised I was on his laps.

I watched her chew with delight, and smiling happily, I didn't know Gwen's cooking could make a lady smile and dance around, the corner of my lips curved up into a slight smile, I watched her pull me closer, she was about to lose her balance and I immediately held her waist and pulled her closer to me, I saw her eyes widened in shock, our eyes locked and our lips inches away.

I don't know why I always feel this way whenever am close to him, I felt the atmosphere changed, I could feel my hair flowing to the direction of the wind and some covering my face, I heard the birds chirping louder , I didn't wish for this moment to be interrupted, he removed the strand of hair from my face and tucked it behind my ear, the feeling of his fingers on my face made me shiver.

I removed the hair on her face and tucked it behind her ear, "Let's go"..........
