Lazy at Love

I always despised the idea of marriage. You must be thing my parents are divorced or I was miss treated due to my parents' marriage but really, I just dislike the idea of getting married. I find it rather energy consuming. Don't get me wrong I love, love. I just don't like the idea of being flustered and seduced by a man. I'd waste all my saved energy just on blushing. Like I always say "Do as little as possible to save energy" and I don't need a husband to make me think otherwise. Sadly, being a daughter of a noble powerful family comes with its disadvantages. Since am a noble, my marriage was decided way before I was even born. I am Amethist Affire. I am currently getting dressed to meet my soon to be husband. Whom has been rumoured to be quite passionate? After getting dressed my ladies-in-waiting and I rushed down the stairs. Except instead of rushing, I mean walking as energy preserving as possible. As I was sluggishly walking down, I met eyes with someone. He had neck length black hair, green soft eyes, brown freckles and pink plump lips. He was so handsome. He turned around and we locked eyes, his green eyes staring into my dark almost black brown eyes. I could feel him searching my soul. I bet he felt me searching it to. I turn my head and keep walking. I walk in to the room and sit awaiting my new husband's family. They walk in and sit across from us. I then realize. The same person I was admiring before from a distance was seated right a cross from. 'Is this some joke' I thought to myself. "Amethist will make a very good wife and daughter in law. She is respectful, kind, beautiful and very caring. Minus the fact that, she loves to save her energy" My father mentioned while laughing at the last part of the sentence. "Honey why don't you take Prince Esfer for a walk while we talk. I stood up "Follow me your highness" I bowed. "With pleasure, my Lady" he replied. We were currently in the garden. He was attempting to make friends with a butterfly. I stared off at him while in my thoughts. "Your staring" he said smirking. "I have no idea what you're talking about" I said pretending as if I just wasn't admiring ever single detail on his face a second ago. "Of course, you do, I just want you to know I don't mind" he said smirking. I was averting my eyes and looking down at the ground. Since I know nothing of eye contact. I think he noticed. "Why hide your beautiful brown eyes? Don't hide from me" he said. "I don't hide them I simply avoid them from being seen, and there anything but beautiful trust me" I said still looking down at the ground. He pulled me by the waist my back to hiss chest. I could feel his cold breathe. He gently kissed my neck once. "Don't say that bout yourself" he said. He tightened his grip around my waist as I tried to escape. He turned me around to face him. I look at his face features and I met with his eyes. I instantly started to blush and face back down to the ground. He puts his index finger under my chin and lifts it up forcefully but yet still as gentle. "Didn't I say not to hide from me" he said in a seductive voice. 'This is why I hate marriage its too romantic thus using most of my energy' I thought to myself. I managed to mumble "O-okay Esfer". He kissed me and went back to making friends with the butterfly as if nothing just happened. Am still standing there dumbfounded by the way he made me obey him. I hear my mother calling. I run to Esfer to say goodbye "My mother I calling. Good Bye Esfer" I said. "Good Bye Amethist" then he embraced me in a hug. I just melted into his cold yet warm touch. I've been hugged before but this felt...different? How can some one be so cold but feel so warm I wondered. I walk to where my mother. She waves at me and gives me a smile. I wave back and return the smile. "Go to your bed chambers its late." She spoke. "Yes, mother" I replied. As I was walking away, I heard her mutter "I don't mind your laziness I admire it even. Your dedication to save energy no matter what. I really do admire it. I just wish you weren't so lazy when it came to love. Why do you have to be so Lazy at Love, Amethist why?" I reach my chambers. I took a bath and went to bed. The day had gone by so fast. I wonder what mother ment by Lazy at Love. I guess I'll never know. If only love wasn't so energy consuming, I'd love with all of my heart.
