Cyma got to her room, had a warm bath and laid down to rest
" I haven't heard from Zion " Cyma said
" I totally forgot, he told me to inform you that he's leaving the city tomorrow" Alpena said
" why?" Cyma asked
" His Majesty sent him on errand, and it make take two days before he returns so he was preparing everything today that's he couldn't have the chance to see you " Alpena said
" how do you know all these?" cyma asked
" he told me everything when you were asleep last night, he knew if he tells you you might go and convince His Majesty to send another person or stop him from leaving " Alpena said
" alright you can go, I want to rest " cyma said and Alpena left.
The next morning, Alpena woke cyma up very early. she dressed up then she took her horse and set out to Dorian's place. she prefers to go with her horse than the royal carriage like Quiana.
By exactly 4 am she was in front of his door knocking. Brooke was so surprised she made it by this time as he saw her standing outside the house. He ran to walk Dorian who was fast asleep.
Brooke let her in as Dorian went to get ready, Brooke even took her on a tour found the house to pass time and Dorian finally came.
" I'm ready" Dorian said and she looked at the time, it was 5 am . she could have used that one hour in her comfy bed.
" no one is opened by now, they're no people on the streets. Everyone opens around 9'she said
" have you had breakfast?" Dorian asked
" don't bother asking, do I look like someone who has had breakfast " she said
" Brooke, what do we have?" Dorian said
" I'm not going to eat in your house" she said
" okay,how about a cup of tea then?" he asked
" no, I don't want anything from you. you're so eager to give me something to take in, do you plan to poison me?" she asked and he smiled
" I can't poison you, you're still useful to me " he said
" huh?" she asked confused
" I mean if I poison you, I'll have to pay for another tour guide " he said
" you only care about yourself, selfish " she said
" how about getting you a snack?" he asked
" can you drop the act of being nice" she said
" oh really, I thought you liked it. I mean are your hands still hurting" Dorian asked
" I had my reason for saying that" she said
" you don't want to eat or drink ,how about we take a walk around" he said leading the way outside
" by the way thanks for yesterday" she said as they walked in the streets
" for what exactly" he asked
" my ankle, it's much better as you said. and also covering up for me on how I got injured" she said
" I didn't cover up for you, I just said what you told me" he said
" yeah" she said
"I almost forgot that's what I told him " she thought
" or isn't that the reason?" he asked staring at her as he paused
" it is " she said and they heard footsteps approaching
They both faced where the sound was coming from and they saw Zion on his horse with some other men.
" I was so concentrated on this dummy here that I forgot Zion was leaving today" she thought as they approached them
" where are you going so early?" she asked playing dumb as he got down from his horse
"His Majesty sent me to deliver a message to the emperor of Dulce " Zion said
" oh, okay " she said and Zion was shocked. the normal cyma would make a big fuss about him leaving and not telling her.
" okay?, that's all you'll say" he said
" safe journey, come back soon" she added patting his shoulder
" okay, what are you doing here so early with him" Zion asked staring at Dorian
" we're taking a stroll" Dorian said
" stroll?" Zion asked confused
" yh, I decided to be his tour guide" she said
" do you know any restaurant around I'm hungry" Dorian asked cyma
" no one has opened" she said
' actually, I saw am opened restaurant on my way here' Zion said
" good, I'm starving" Dorian said dragging Cyma along
" this is strange, she was so hellbent on taking revenge on him two days ago and now she's his tour guide. she didn't even pay much attention to me, what's going on?" Zion thought as he watched both of them leave
" young Master Zion, we need to leave" one of the men said
" sure " he said climbing his horse and they rode off
they went to the opened restaurant and they were the first customers to get there.
" good morning, what would you like to have?" a girl asked as they sat
" what do you have?" cyma asked and the girl listed it
" good morning, hope you're both comfortable" a woman came out of the inner room and gestures the girl to go.
" yes" cyma said
" you must have decided to come out to have breakfast, such a sweet couple" the lady said but cyma ignored what she said with a smile
" I think we'll have the chicken soup and...." cyma was saying before Dorian cut her short
" nope, we can't chicken soup so early in the morning it's not healthy" Dorian said
" excuse me, I'm ordering for myself not you" she said
" but the bill is in me so I'll decide what to order" he said
" who said you're paying for my meal?, just mind your own business" she asked
" what exactly do you want, first you say I only care about myself and I'm selfish. and now you're saying I should mind my business and care about only myself " he said
" you...." she said before the lady interrupted
" you both are so cute, you care about each other a lot and even fight like children " the woman said
" we'll have fresh vegetable soup " Dorian said
" coming right up" the woman said as she left
" you can't decide for me, I have full control over my own life" she said
" well, too bad you think that way. I mean sooner or later, someone will have control over you" he said
" you..." she was saying before the woman interrupted as she came with the food
" You know I go with what your husband said, chicken soup isn't healthy as breakfast " the woman said
" see wifey" Dorian said patting her head as he gave her the bowl of soup
" wifey?, he's out of his mind. if not because of I don't want questioning of what I'm doing with a bachelor in a restaurant this early I would told this lady that we aren't even friends talkless of being couples " cyma thought as she forced the spoon of soup in her mouth
" how is it?" the woma. asked
" it's quite good " cyma as she enjoyed the soup
" can I get another plate " cyma said
" no, eating so much this early in the morning is not healthy " Dorian said
" he's right " the lady said and Cyma felt like staking a dagger through his heart
" please help me tell people to patronize my restaurant" the woman said
" wait are you new here?" she asked
" yes, ee just opened today " the woman said
" no wonder she opened this early, and she doesn't even know who I am" she thought
" well, thanks for the food" Dorian said paying extra
" shall we wifey?" he asked and Cyma rolled her eyes as she left
" they're so good together " the lady said watching them argue as they left.
