"it's getting late, we should get you home" Dorian said
" how about we should just stay here for the night" she said and he gave her a confused look
" since you're going out of town tommorow, I may as we'll spend this night ith you to keep you company"she said
" why do I feel like you have an ulterior motive" he said
" and what could that be?"she asked
" I don't know, I'm not a mind reader" he said
" why don't we just sit, chat, drink and have a nice time away from people"
" drink?"
" yeah"
" oh no, you can't drink with me. I remember the last time you got drunk, our character were questioned"
" I didn't say I'll get drunk"
" did you plan to get drunk at the party?"
" no, that was on you"
" me?"
" yeah, you were all over princess Quiana, laughing, letting her touch you and..."she paused
" and?, why did you stop?. keep going"
" nothing"
" in short you got drunk because you couldn't stand me being with princess Quiana, don't tell m you've fallen for me" he said and she scoffed
" you wish" she said and he smiled
" pls don't, I'm just giving you a quick advice" he said
" don't flatter yourself, you aren't even my type" she said
" oh really"
" yeah"
" that's good then"
" yeah, I'll go get us some beer"
" there'll be no need for that, I have some here"
" so, you drank beer as a kid"
" no, I just got it recently when I got back. I wouldn't give you expired beer, would I?"
" I don't know, some few weeks back you almost poisoned me"
" I was just joking, I didn't poison the soup"
" Whatever"
" Looks like your mood has changed, it's not suitable to drink when you're angry or jealous"
" I want to drink, you can't tell me what to do and what not to do"
" Why do you want to drink so badly, I'm having a bad feeling. What's your motive"
" Well, it was you who suggested we make babies so.."
" I didn't say I wanted to have them with you"
" Why are you so keen on not having a baby with me, what's wrong with me"
" Why do you also babies don't want to have a baby with me?"
" Answer the question first"
" Maybe I don't want you to give out baby out to a customer
" can we just put that behind us, I was drunk"
" exactly my point, I don't wanna be your next customer"
" you know what, forget it. i'll just go drink somewhere else" she said getting up but he stopped her
" where are you?" he asked
" to town"
" you're crazy, you thinking if going to town alone this late"
" you can as well accompany if you like"
" a princess and her fiance walking at night, you're gonna make us an easy target"
" I got skills, I can protect myself I don't know about you"
" oh really, and you ended up running from Damini's men"
" you bringing her up again"
" sorry, you made me. I'll go get the wine, just sit here and don't move a muscle"
" hye hye captain" she said sitting down back as he left
Few minutes later, he came back with four bottles
" now we're talking" she said smiling
" I just hope I don't regret this" he said
" don't worry, you won't. I don't plan on drinking much" she said collecting a bottle
" what was it like leaving alone as a kid?" she asked and the atmosphere changed
" lonely, boring and painful sometimes. when you are down, sad or even happy and you realize there's no one to share your feelings and emotions with because you're all alone" he said and looked at cyma who was looking at him with pitiful eyes
" it most have been really hard" she said trying to hide her emotions
" yeah it was, but it was also kind of fun"
" fun?"
" yeah, no parents, no rules, no curfew, just you doing what you like and want"
" that's the kind of life I wish to live, just total freedom"
" I can tell" he said as he chuckled slightly
" but it won't be like that anymore"
"huh?"
" you are not alone anymore, you have me"
" you're making it sound weird"
" what's weird there, we are friends now right?. friends are always there for each other"
" hmm"
" yeah" she said about to grab the second bottle but he collected it
" no, that's enough. I have a long day tomorrow, I can't spend all night fighting you"
" fighting me?"
" yeah, last time I fought you to my last or else I would have been assaulted" he said
" there you go again, making me look like the bad person"
" well, you're the bad person"
" I'm not doing this with you, I'm going to bed"
" and you expect me to sleep on the floor?"
" where did you sleep last time?"
" you were having a hangover last time that's why I let you but not this time"
" if you can get up then" she said lying on it
" can I just have a peaceful sleep" he said lying on the swing
" I hope you don't fall off" she said with a smirk
" you should count yourself lucky that you're a lady"
" blah blah blah blah" she said
princess Quiana woke up in the middle of the night to drink water but she found out her jar was empty. she growled as she stood up to walk to the royal kitchen to fill up her jar. But as she was returning to her bedroom, she felt a shadow pass behind her very fast. she fastened her pace and locked her door immediately she got in unknown to her that the intruder was already in her room. As she turned to go to her bed, she hit a firm figure dressed in all black, covering his face like a ninja. she was about to scream when he covered her mouth and she bit me then remove her hair pin from her hair and cut him with it
" Argh!" he cried in pan as he left go of her
" who are you?, what do you want?" she asked holding her sharp hair pin towards him
" it's me, Brooke" he said removing his cover
" you?, what her you doing here?"
" can you drop your hair pin first?"
" sorry, sit here" she said tearing a piece of clothing and wrapped it around his hand to stop the bleeding
" what are you doing here so late, you scared me"
" here, your jade. you left it when you came over" he said
" and it couldn't wait till tommorow" she said collecting it
" I'm leaving very early tommorrow, I might not have the chance to stop by. and you'll probably be needing it, so I came to give it to you now"
" well, thanks. now leave before anyone sees you here, you know how fast rumors spread" she said
" yeah" he said leaving
