CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
"SO where are we going to go today?" asked Ralph.
"I suggest we go for a picnic. It's a clear day and a picnic would be so perfect"
"Anything you say pequeño"
Karen got a mat sheet that they would lay over the grass, a big picnic basket to hold some fruit kabobs, a loaf of bread, kitchen utensils, napkin, pillows, pasta salad, potato salad and macaroni salad. When she got everything ready, she went to have her bath and get dressed. As usual and very typic for their second date, she chose a long green and brown floral patterned dress that had a slit that went above her left knee.
Ralph dressed in a cream coloured shirt and a cream coloured pair of trousers and Karen said he looked like a farmer.
"What did you say?" asked Ralph.
"I think you look like a farmer…a hot farmer though".
"Yeah, I got things I did like to farm" said Ralph and he sent Karen a wink.
"Big, bad, Alpha! Please let's get going".
Ralph decided to go without guards and pack warriors for this date and he took a cabriolet kind of car - a car without a roof.
When they got to the piece of land Ralph chose, they held the both ends of the mat sheet and laid it over a portion of grass. "This is freaking fantastic" screamed Karen to the open air as she stood on the mat sheet.
"My mate thinks this is freaking fantastic and I also think it is" screamed Ralph and Karen laughed.
"So now that we are here, what do we do?"
"I got you a romantic book to read to learn how to be more romantic and I got myself a book on politics. If I want to be able to rule properly by your side, the best thing is to have some good power knowledge".
"You are the best little one" said Ralph before pecking her forehead. Ralph laid on the mat sheet and made use of a pillow but instead of Karen to do the same, she decided to lay on his chest.
"Are you okay with this?" asked Karen
"Most definitely"
"Alright, let's get reading cause we would be telling ourselves what we have read some time later"
"We would?"
"Yes we would"
"Alright"
They both read for more than three hours before Karen said the time was up.
"Alright, who goes first?" asked Karen
"Anyone" replied Ralph.
"This is why I said you need to learn the rock, paper, scissors game. Alright let me reach you. When I ball my fists, that means 'rock', and when I flatten it out, that means 'paper' and when I use only two fingers and put them in the shape of a scissors, that is definitely 'scissors'. So if you form a rock and I form a scissors, the rock smashes the scissors but if I form a paper and you scissors, you cut through my fingers and lastly, if I form a paper and you rock, my paper would cover your rock. Did you get that?"
"I think, especially the part where you said your pussy would cover my dick"
"You naughty rat, I didn't say anything of that sort. Alright, so when I say rock, paper, scissors, you do one of the three and then we do it for three consecutive times and then at the third time, whoever forms a rock or paper or scissors wins"
"Let's do it. Rock, Paper, Scissors" called Karen and Ralph balled his fists while she flattened hers.
"Rock, paper, scissors" called Karen the second time and she formed a pair of scissors while Ralph formed a paper.
"Rock, paper, scissors" called Karen for the last time and Karen forms scissors while Ralph forms a rock.
"Alright then, it seems I have to go first" said Karen
"Yes you do," replied Ralph.
"Before I do, I think we should discuss our books over the delicacies we brought"
"Perfect!" said Ralph and Karen placed all the foodies between her and Ralph. She takes a bunch of bananas and begins to chew on one she peels as she hands Ralph another.
'Wish those were mine' thought Ralph.
Placing the banana peel in a small trash bag they brought along, she begins, "I wouldn't say I have read enough but what I think I understand from this book is that politics is like a game of chess. Everyone is your enemy, everyone is your friend. Be suspicious of everything, yourself and no one at the same time. Choose wisely those that should stand by you because your office is definitely who you are" said Karen and Ralph applauded her.
"That's a good one mate. You weren't merely enjoying the grace from my chest as you laid on me, you were indeed studying" said Ralph as he applauded her again.
"Gracias Señor though I still have a whole lot to learn and stop flattering yourself, I got no grace from lying on your chest. Now your turn" said Karen and she picked up a plate of macaroni salad and began to devour it.
"From this amazing book you got me" said Ralph as he picked up the book, "I got to learn the complexities in men and women. Partners have to be very attentive persons as everyone loves someone who observes them and takes anything and everything about them seriously. Also when your partner begins to exhibit strange traits the person never exhibited begins to watch out for possible reasons. Also try to find out the background of your partner as that would give you more insight to them and understand what sort of environment they grew up in and the likely ways they should turn out to be. I think that's basically what I can remember for now"
"You did a good job Mr Ralph Hernandez, I must give you that"
"Thanks Miss Karen, you made this possible. I have a question to ask you though?" asked Ralph.
"What is the question?" asked Karen as she removed the leaves on top of the strawberries before eating them.
"What is your background Karen?"
