The night was young and yet the street are already busy with everyone coming out of their home to look at the festival. I see kids riding on their father's shoulders and as usual I imagined what it would be like to see my husband taking our kids on his back. How cute, the thought of it makes me happy. I still do not know how the sudden change in our relationship came but I hope it stays forever.
The smell of freshly fried meat enters my nose and I, forgetting that my arm was linked to my husband dragged him to the food stall. You can hear the sizzling of meat, truthfully I may have drooled a bit. As a lady I got embarassed on my own.
"What's this?" He asked. Surely he must've eaten meat skewers right. I bought two and gave one to him, it was still sizzling and hot, I couldn't wait so I took a bite, mind you when I say I feel like I'm in heaven, it really did felt like heaven. To me heaven is where I can eat any food I want. It also seems he liked it. Good. I wish we go out like this everyday.
To be honest I didn't expect such things to happen but it did, standing before me and my husband was none other than the most wanted criminal right now. Jared and Heftan was also enjoying the festival as I gave them a holiday today, it's just that I didn't think we would see each other at all.
"My lady you look beautiful." Jared said happily. Of course Jared but are you really not sensing this tight atmosphere between the other two. For some reason Heftan was glaring at my husband.
"Thank you Jared." I said. To be honest I'm sweating. If my husband finds out about Heftan's identity surely he'll arrest him on the spot. "It's good to see you again, Your Grace..." Jared greeted my husband, " I thank you for taking care of my lady." He said.
My husband just nodded and smiled back at him and switched his eyes from Jared to the man who's standing an inch shorter than him in front. "Ah this is our new employee, Heftan. And Heftan, this is Duke Ceaser Valentine, my husband." I introduced and yet the atmosphere went from being tight to cold. I could feel it, this hostile feelings from them for one another.
"Duke? Ah yes then Your Grace must be Duke Valentine who wiped out the Blood fangs. I've heard a lot about you. It is an honour, your grace." Heftan said, words that looks like flattery but it's not. Not from the way their eyes are shooting daggers. "Yes thank you." Ceaser answered back with his usual smile.
"My Lady! Look it's a shooting game!" Jared yelled at me. This boy was getting all so excited and was already handling the gun while I'm stuck here trying not cause a scene. In the end I persuade them to take part in the game.
It must've been 8 times already when I, myself and Jared kept shooting and yet we couldn't aim it right and hit the target. " You guys are just wasting money at this point." Heftan said. Well excuse us for not knowing how to aim a rifle.
"Vivian let me." Ceaser said, my heart almost jumped out of my chest as he leaned closer and wrapped around me from my back and helped me adjust the aim. I could feel his breadth breathing down my neck. So close, to my ears he whispered, "Shoot.". I did but right now my eyes didn't follow the plastic bullet, I kept looking at this man, my husband who was doing the same. Our eyes locked and breadth intertwined. For a moment I seem to have lost sight of everyone around us until I hear the man who was in charge of the game congratulate me, "Nice one! My Lady. This is for you.", he said giving me a small candy.
"You shot one My Lady!" Jared said as he clapped his hands for me. "Your Grace, how about we take a turn?" Heftan interrupted. Jared's eyes glittered with excitement to see the show, my sweet innocent boy you seem to forget one is chasing the other.
