~Dusan~(march 20 79AD):
Today was the day we planned on spreading rumours. So how where we going to do it? The vegetables and meat is grown in his own barn... So no excuse like "for buying vegetables"...
I asked Austin for a day off. I didn't think it would work, but it did.
" I would really like to spend some time with my wife , shopping..."
"Awwee sooo romantic!! That's how a couple should be."
"Couple? My ass!", Pris muttered under her breath.
I let out a laugh. Austin thought it was for what he said, but you know, it was for what Pris had commented.
So we took some money and went for "shopping". Only after a distance, I found a chatty girl in her late teen I guess, who I decided would be my first "target". After all, girls like her would spread rumours like wildfire.
"Hello, young miss!! What's a little girl doing without her parents?", I commented.
"Oh, you are exaggerating, I am 26 years old already", she blushed.
"Oh holy Jupiter!! You are older than me!! I didn't expect that!! Soo pretty!! Wait, You're joking right?!"
"Haha no, no, really!"
I didn't expect that coming. She had smooth, long, blonde hair, greenish grey eyes, pretty thin, but had good curves. (Coming to think of it, Pris has also got some curves.)
Mann girls these days... I just chatted away with her for sometime, until Pris came and punched my hand hard.
"Owww!! Why did you punch me?"
"It's been 3 hours already! How much longer are you planning on flirting with this hot lady here? We've got business to do, and the one doing it properly is just me!"
"I was not flirting!!", I protested.
"Yeah right!", She rolled her eyes. "Let's get moving!"
Pris stopped. "And don't worry miss, I am not his girlfriend!", Pris said, which I found was unwanted.
That lady smiled and shouted, "CALL ME CAMILLA!"
"DUSAN!", Pris shouted back pointing at me.
"Let's go back to the mansion.", Pris said.
"But I haven't-"
"I know! You were pretty useless today."
"Ouch"
She turned and smiled at me (in a good way), the shook her head.
"Idiot!", She turned away.
Oh my!! How much I wanted to hug her! Except, if I did, I would be strangled to death by her. But I did it anyway. It might be worth it. She didn't strangle me (thank god).
"Ok ok, good boy...", She said.
"But, you just called me an idiot!"
"A good idiotic boy. Now happy?"
We both laughed even though it wasn't funny.
"Now why am I even laughing?", She stated.
"I don't know either!"
We laughed again.
We had a great time together shopping. We really shopped, and shoplifted. We drank some goat's milk too! I've never had so much fun in my life! I was so greatful to God for helping me meet her!
"So what about that girl, to whom you were flirting..", she asked. "Do you like her?"
"I was not flirting!! She is 26 and I am just 21!"
"26? She looks like she's just 19 or 20!!"
"Yeah right?! Even I couldn't believe!!"
"I ship you two!"
"Ship?"
"Yeah, when we feel some pair will make a good couple we use the word ship."
"C'mon she's too old for me!! Wait. Don't tell me age is just a number!"
"Fine. Age is not just a number. Age is a word."
"For god's sake!!"
We both had another round of laughter.
I successfully failed in doing what I was supposed to do, spreading rumours. It was essential for Augustus to get back his position and help me with my search for my sister.
Pris must have seen my expression change.
"Don't worry!", She said. "Everything's gonna be alright!! Just chill, okay?"
I sighed. "Yeah..."
When we got back Augustus came running with wide arms inviting us for "hugs", which Pris politely refused (sarcastically saying).
I didn't mind, his hugs. We became really close after that day, when we were kicked out by Pris for a prank we had played.
Austin came. And when he saw us his, expression became sour.
