cyma went out with the carriage since she wasn't that fit to ride her horse. she went to the stream side, where they were many beautiful flowers, butterfly and green pasture. she sat there and brought out the book Queen mother gave her. she just needed some peace and silent to accumulate what was in the book. As she opened it, she saw a shadow hovering over her. she looked up and saw Dorian.
" seriously, what's he doing here?" she thought
" mind if I join you" he asked
" yes, I do mind" she said but he ignored her and sat beside her anyways.
" what are you reading?" he asked trying to peep at what's the book was about
" none of your business" she said hiding it
" advice tips on good relationships" he read out from the cover of the book
" you"
" you know you're so selfish, you want to acquire this knowledge alone. i also need relationship tips, I suck at it" he said
" just leave " she said
" let's just read it together, it will be fun" he said
" besides, you're fiancee now" he said and she gave him a death glare
" let's just stick to what is in the book" he said
" the first one says, trust your instincts." she read it out
" explain it" he said
" what don't you understand in trust your instincts, besides the book is for ladies" she said
" alright, let's just move to the next one " he said
" better, the second says don't rush" she said looking at him
" don't rush as In how, I'm confused " he said and she sighed
" here, read it yourself " she said giving him the book
" Take your time to get to know each other before moving to the next level of intimacy. " he said
" do you understand now?" she asked collecting the book back
" calm down, I'm not that type of guy. I take things slowly, in and out slowly " he said and she raised a brow
" let's just get back to it" he said
"love is not just a physical attraction. I'll explain it because I know you won't understand it as well." she said
" sure" he said
"what first pulls a man to a lady is the outer package. But even the prettiest gift will grow dull if there is nothing substantial inside. Make sure your partner sees your lovely face and your incredible soul before moving forward. Bonding emotionally is vital for the long-term success of a relationship." she said
" outer package?" he asked
" the next one , love him as he is " she said
" that's a deep one" he said
" can you stop interrupting me and let me finish. the next one is don't assume is a mind reader, always talk" she said he nodded
" then, no manipulation. then remember you're on the same team" she said
" learn how to communicate and don't keep problems to yourself " she added
" express gratitude, take risks and know your partner " she said
" is that all?" he asked
" yes, any questions?" she asked
" I have a lot of questions " he said
" I can only answer to two of your questions " she said
" who wrote this book?" he asked
" I don't know" she said
" how did you get it?" he asked
" my grandma gave it to me " she said
" the Queen mother " he asked
" your two questions are gone, now you may leave " she said
" how can I leave you, from what the book said I suppose to treat you nicely " he said
" okay, let me make it clear. we can not work out so stop these your silly game. I seriously don't know what you're playing at but you won't put in the middle of it' she said
" but you're already the centerpiece" he said
" and why are you getting so angry, I'm just doing what the books says" he added
" you think I'm reading this book to do as it says, sorry to break the news to you but I'm only reading this book to do the exact opposite of ehat it says" she said
" why do you have to go through the trouble, you should just say and done nothing because I can never fall in love with someone like you" he said
" says the same man who did like he cares about my reputation " she said
" I'm happy you didn't fall for that like the rest of your family members, I just don't understand why you didn't object to it" he said
" that's my own business, just stick to yours" she said as she stood up and left
" she's a handful " he said sighing
