The Royal Bodyguard

19

          "Are you enjoying the tea, Lor?!" Austin said when he saw Lorry.

       "Austin! It's fantastic! Especially the pastries made by the royal chef! He really outdid himself this time!"

      Lorry answered him while joining her index and thumb fingers in agreement.

       "You should really think of reducing the amount of snacks you take! That's nice to here!

     I'm sure he will be happy to receive such a compliment from his number one taster!

      He wanted to try out a new recipe seeing that we were having guests from another kingdom."

      Austin explained happy to see her conformable with everything.

        "But you know what would have made it better?!" Lorry questioned.

      "Hmm? Let me guess. Chocolate chip cookies?!" Austin pretended to think it through.

      "Absolutely! How did you know?!" Lorry asked astonished.

     "Anyone who knows you will definitely know!" Austin replied.

       "Hahaha! Is it that obvious?!" Lorry laughed.

       "Yeah! Do you want some?!" Autin asked making her confused.

       "No no no! It's OK! Let's not disturb the chef for something like this! It burders me the fact that you always give me cookies every time.

      It's not like our friendship is because of it. It feels awful when I actually think I'm forcing you to do such a thing!"

         Lorry said realising what he meant. Then asked in a rhetorical way.

         "I mean, why will you always have it if not?!"

       'Teacher Cami has put the seed of doubt in me. I can't believe I actually started to think that way!

   Hearing this has made me understand that what Teacher Cami said wasn't true!'

    Austin thought to himself then laughed out loud.

       "Hahaha! Don't worry about that! I also like chocolate chip cookies that's why I'm always with it.

      Because of this, he chef always has some kept in case I needed it! "

     Austin explained making her sigh in relieve. Seeing that, he asked with a smile again.

      "Should I get you some now then?!"

     "Yeah! Thank you!" Lorry accepted it this time.

        "All right! Wait here let me go and get it!" Austin said then hurried inside immediately.

      "Ai ai, Captain!" Lorry joked Seeing his back.

...

      'It took longer than I thought, but I finally got the cookies!'

     Austin said excitedly as he came back to where he and Lorry where before.

       'Huh?! Where did Lorry go? I told her to wait for me here!'

     Austin started to look around for her but couldn't find her.

       'Sigh! Where could she have gone now?' Austin thought to himself.

       "My Prince? Are you looking for someone?!" Miss Cami said from behind him.

       "Oh! Teacher Cami! Yes! Have you seen Lorry by the way? I asked her to wait for me here but now I can't find her!"

     Austin explained his predicament. Miss Cami said in thought.

     "Hmm... she said that she wanted to speak with the Prince of Bali a while ago so I introduced them together!" Miss Cami explained.

       "Ow! Then where is she now?" Austin asked relieved to know she was OK.

       "There!" Miss Cami pointed out to a side.

       Austin looked at the same place to find Lorry talking to a thirteen-year-old.

      "Thank you, Teacher Cami!"

     "And where do you think you are going?!"

      Miss Cami stopped Austin when she saw him about to go over.

         "Of course I'm going over!" Austin replied to her.

      "My Prince, why is it that you don't understand what I saying even when it is written right in front of you!" Miss Cami said.

       "I told her Lorry that I was going to be back in a while so I want to go over now." Austin explained.

       "Ayayyayya! To prove to you that that girl is not a good person, just wait here and see.

       If she is really waiting for you, she will eventually look for you. If not, than you will finally understand what I mean!"  Cami said.

       "Please, just this one's my Prince!"

       Miss cami requested when she Austin still wanted to persist on going.

     "Sigh! Just this time Teacher! After this I won't listen to such things again!" Austin said relenting to her.

       "Yes, ok! Thank you!" Miss Cami said and they both sat at a side.
