After yesterdays decision with my people I feel drained waking up today, I don't want to get up, but I have to. When I get up I realize that I am still in my clothes from yesterday.As I look to my side there is Alastor asleep I quickly get out of my bed and take a bath.After the bath and getting dressed I feel so good, I feel new in a sense. I decide to dress in something bright to lift up my spirits. I put on a pink and white kimishi which illustrated a cherry tree in full bloom, I remember this was the first and the last present I ever got from my sister. I hadn't tried it on until now, it was soft and smelled like her. This is what i need. As I exit the room I don't bother looking back on Alastor, why would I he wakes up late anyways I havn't let him bite me since yesterday, unless he drinks animal blood or something he will be sluggish for a while. As I make my way downstairs I bump into Emii, I try to walk away as fast as I could but she linked her arm through mine forcing me to stay.
"Unhand me"
"Please Zuma I know how you feel but please I need to talk to you. Join me for breakfast."
Before I cold answer she dragged me along downstairs past the dinning room.
"Um the dining room is that way"
She dragged my whining butt all the way into the garden where I had breakfast my second day. Is it just me or does this garden attract drama.
When I looked up I noticed that it as my room window, hm I never noticed we had such a good view, interesting."
"Zuma please sit the food will be here shortly."
I took a seat and she sat right next to me.I looked ahead and planned to keep it that way. she placed her hand on my knee and looked me in the eye.What on sweet christmas does she think she is doing.I remove her hand and put it on my table.
"Zuma may I ask you a question?"
"Technically you just did."
"May I kiss you?"
"Not if you love breathing"
She began laughing histerically tilting her head back.
"I see why Alastor has taken a liking to you."
She leans in closer to me and just stares at me, what is with this girl has she lost her pebbles.A maid comes in and whispers something in her ear. She nods and whispers.
"Now where were we?"
"You were staring at me like a creep, please don't do that again or I will run before you can say tomato."
"No need, you know Zuma you have very beautiful features."
"Thank my horrible mother"
"I don't think you can inherit her rear"
"Excuse me?!"
"Don't be shy I noticed you have a nice one."
"Oh this conversation is over I can go get my own food good day."
As I got up I felt someone was behind me, when I turned around she was standing there with a concerning grin. She shoved me to the ground and layed on top of me.Mother I curse you for my beautiful face and my genetics for my rear, who knew I would get into this much trouble. I tried to push her off but jesus she is heavy. The one time I need Alastor he isn't here, she better get off before I resort to biting and punching. She takes me by the chin and tries to kiss me but I keep turning my face away, I try to scream but she put her hand over my mouth. I bit her and punched her in the chest, I didn't care if she was a girl, she is way bigger than me.
"Play along Zuma damn it"
What the hell play along. As soon as she said that she was pulled off of me, the sun was shining in my eyes and I couldn't see who took her off of me.I flew up and got on my feet. Alastor was there holding her by the arm.
"Emii what on earth were you doing to Zuma, what has gotten into you?"
"He stole you from me so I was going to take him from you and then I would have both of you all to myself."
"Are you crazy believe me sister if you had came a week earlier I would have handed him to you happily all you had to do is ask."
"Really Zuma im standing right here."
"Does it look like I give an ass."
He lets her go and now she stands there glaring at me.
"Stop glaring at me it isn't my fault im the pretty one. Anyways I am going to the kitchen to have breakfast you to can sort the rest out between the both of you."
"So that means I can have him."
This lady is getting on my nerves. Cant she get it through her head Alastor doesn't want her. I walk over to Alastor and plant a big fat kiss right on his lips. I leave the both of them there stunned. After all the pain he has caused me ill be damned if I am going to let him go now. I found my way into the kitchen,there was no one around and I was greatful. I don't want to have to deal with anyone today. While making myself some eggs I hear someone enter the kitchen, I don't bother turning around, I am so hungry that I could eat a horse. While fixing myself a plate I hear someone clear their throat. When I turn around it its Alastor leaning against the wall,
"Can I help you?"
"Yes have you forgiven me?"
"No"
"Then why kiss me."
"Because after the hell I have been through I am not going to let you get off easy by being with someone else."
"Ah you had to crush my hopes."
"yes ,yes I did"
I made another plate and handed it to him. He followed me upstairs to the dining room and we ate, at this point I didn't care where Emii was as long as she was far far away from me. We sat at the table and ate breakfast.
"So Zuma when do you want to start planning the wedding?"
I immediately started coughing.
"Eh?"
"The wedding."
"Don't we just have to sign a document and that's it?"
"Technically yes, but what about the ceremony."
"Ceremony?"
"You know walking down the isle, flowers, vows"
"Oh that type of ceremony"
"Weren't you planning on having one?"
"No, that thought left my mind a long time ago, after all that has happened I don't think I can even write vows. Alastor this isn't just something that blows over the wedding can wait until we are back to how things were. Lesson six: There is a time and place for everything.
"But I want to marry you now."
"How about we make a deal, if you get to lesson ten while following those before then we can plan the ceremony."
He groaned in annoyance and rested his head on the table. I couldn't help but laugh to myself, he acts like such a child at times.
"Zuma how about we go to #8 I wont last to ten."
"Well you will have to learn, actually if you can tell me a lesson you learned today other than the one I told you we can get to seven in one day."
"Hmm you just love to torture me don't you?Today I learned not to trust those who have crossed me,and to trust my family more."
"Well technical you just knocked out two lessons, couldnt have said them better myself. Now all you need is two more and we can get married."
"I think perhaps I can knock one more off."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, secrets will come out eventually and bite you in the arse."
"Ill be damned you did it oh lord I guess im going to have to forgive you faster."
"Indeed."
He now had a big smile on his face. Damn you Alastor I wanted to hate you. We spent the entire day drafting the documents that would make my people legal citizens while also allowing them to practice their way of life, I must admit it was an exhausting process but I guess it comes with the duty. Alastor wa sthere the entire time just as exhausted as I was.We finneshed what we needed to do and we ere both now in need of a good meal and hot bath. We were forced to lift our heads from the table when baba bursted in and startled us.
"Come on you lifeless bags of flesh its dinner time, my favorite part of life."
I couldn't help but laugh, goodness that man loves to eat. He patted poor Alastor on the shoulders and he got up, I on the other hand was not planning on it, too tired I just want a hot bath and sleep.
"Come on Zuma time to get up, look alive."
"Too tired, leave me to die, I love sleep more than food, shoo shoo"
All of a sudden I was picked up like a princes by baba, why didn't he leave me to sleep.
"Come now Zuma who else gives me ham after I am done eating my meal."
I was too tired to even care, I closed my eyes and took a quick nap. Within a few minutes we were at the dining room and i was forced to stand, damn it all i want to do is sleep. Dinner was quick and as soon as i could i layed on Babas lap to take a nap i put my feet on Aires lap, the perfect bed. They were both laughing at my childish actions. What ever went on after my head hit babas lap i have no idea, i woke up in the morning in bed still in my clothes, Alastor was dead asleep next to me with his hair down and the dark blue strands covering his angelic face. I got up with my head spinning, i went to take a hot bath and felt better, considering Alastor managed to stay awake i made a bath for him as well. I found my way into the kitchen to make breakfast. i made four slices of ham with eggs along with two bowls of fruit.One of the maids helped me bring both the meals up to our room. He took care of me when i was drained so now it is my turn to return the favor even though that day didnt end well. As i was about to take a bite of the ham on my plate he woke up.
"Good morning, i made a bath and breakfast. You must be tired i didnt bother to stay awake during dinner."
He got out of bed and walked over to me unsteadily. He leaned down and kissed me on the cheek.
"Thank you Zuma thats exactly what i need right now."
I started blushing as i watched him walk into the bathroom. This feels right, this is the way things are supposed to be. Minutes later he walked out of the bath with steam coming off his shoulders and a towel wrapped around his waist. I turned around and he got dressed. He sat in the chair across from me and began eating. When i finished my meal all i wanted to do was lean my teeth and go to bed, but we still have work to do today.
"Shall we pick up where we left off yesterday?"
"Where did we leave off yesterday?"
"I was hoping you knew."
We went back to the study and found that we had finished with eveything. Alastor proposed that we could go for a picnic. I was hesitant to accept but was so relieved that i wanted to get out of that damned study. I found myself spread out on my back with my face to the sky, this felt nice,after being cooped up in that place i was lacking sunlight. Alastor was spread out on his stomach sleeping. We both layed there like two lazy bears. I closed my eyes for a moment to just smell the air, i felt a pair of lips touch mine. My eyes flew open to see Alastors sunset eyes. He released my lips and looked at me with a gleeful smile. I didnt care that he ignored asking permission i guess we are at the stage where he doesnt need to ask. I looked into his eyes and melted, i am tired of fighting him,i am so tired. He pulls me into his lap and a rest my head on his shoulder. I could stay like this forever, he rested his chin on his head and slowly fell back. I was laying on top of him and he was holding me. Our sweet sweet peace was disturbed by Allen flopping right on my stomach it felt like a kick to the gut. He pushed me off of Alastor and sat on his stomach.
"Sorry Zuma but this is my spot."
All i could do was laugh at him, i pulled him off of Alastor and started kissing his rosy cheeks. He started laughing and squealing joyfully. Alastor on the other hand was now sitting up once again pouting.
"Jealousy doesnt look good on you."
He looked away clearly annoyed. I hopped on his lap and gave him multiple kisses on his cheeks, he went from looking like a pouting brat to a pleased puss. Allen tackled us both and sat between us.
"When are you two going to make a baby, i want a mini Zuma to kiss."
"Allen what on earth are you talking about, that baby would be too you young for you."
"But you are older than Zuma and you still kiss him on the lips."
"Thats different you are four now by the time the baby would come you might be even five or six years older."
"Thats not the point."
They are going back and forth like i am not even here.
"And when do you think that child will be born, is it not me who will be giving birth, i should have a say in when this baby will be getting here."
"Zuma can the baby come here tommorow."
"Yes Allen my dear nefew if only I figure out lesson ten then perhaps you will get a baby son."
"Who says when you get lesson ten i will get pregnant, we will only get married no one said anything about a child, slow things down both of you."
"Ok, for now, but i will have my tiny Zuma."
"Over my dead body brat."
"Alastor dont all him a brat."
They were both giving each other the death stare, what am i going to do with them? We all just sit there having a good time until one of the guard showed up, as soon as his eyes landed on me he turned as red as a tomato. Dear lord here comes the trouble. Alastors face immediately became as hard as stone.
"Excuse me Prince but your father has requested that i bring Zuma to his study."
I got up immediately and brushed off my clothes,Alastor rose as well.
"I am sorry but he is requested alone."
He sat back down next with Allen with a huff.
"I will be back soon, Allen dont make him angry i wont be here to save you."
With that i left with the guard he was tall muscular and had a low cut. His big brown eyes were calming. While walking next to him i felt his eyes on me.
"Is there something you wish to ask, you have been looking at me for a while now."
"Pardon me but yes i actually do have a question. Are you really male?"
Oh sweet christmas, never in my life have i been asked such a question.I didnt want it to rest on my mind so i just brushed it off.
"Yes"
"Ah"
"Anymore questions ask now or forever hold your piece."
"Yes one more. Did you know there is a small lizard in your hair?"
When he said that i screamed like my life depended on it, i am terrified of lizards they are scaly slimy , and those creapy eyes.i started grabbing at my hair while saying "Get it out get it out" i expected the guard to try and help me but instead he started laughing.
"Relax i was messing with you."
I am furious, i was having a whole panic attack while he was having a jolly good old time. I punch him in his arm and immediatly regret it, i think my fist hurts more than his arm, it was like punching rock. When i held my fist he started to laugh even harder. I am done with this i run off down the hall leaving him behind. I hide into the first room i can find and watch him walk by.
"Zuma, i am sorry i played such a joke please come back i will get in trouble if you dont"
I wait until he walks off, now lets see how he enjoys my joke.
ALASTOR
The guard ran back into the garden without Zuma he was out of breath.
"Prince i have lost Zuma i made him angry and he ran off, i searched for him for three hours he is nowhere to be found."
If Allen wasnt standing here i would have cursed him out from here to hell and back. I took Allen back to his room and set out to look for Zuma i went to the last place the guard saw him and started looking in the rooms, in the fifth room searhed i found him asleep at a table. When i woke him up and he saw the guard behind me he began to laugh.His hair was a mess as if it had been messed with roughly.
"How do you like my joke"
The guard looked terrified.
