The Dress Maker And The Tsundere

Chapter Eight

The both of them got their way to the shop. It was sunny as usual and Aiden was wearing a hood to cover his head, mostly his face. Xander have him a suspicious look as he saw him covering his head like that.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Those girls can't stop staring at me. But man, they will get me and kiss me on the cheeks. All they will ask me is if I could be their lover and the big answer is NO" he complained. "No, no way, never! I'll be a general before I will have a lover of my life!"

Xander chuckles. He removed the hood covering his head and pats him.

"I got your back" he grinned at Aiden.

"Yeah right... I'll support you and make sure you'll ended up with Cepherine!! Hahaha!" he laughed.

"Oh shut up.." Xander half yelled at the face of Aiden.

They finally reached the shop, again. As usual, they find Nymira glaring at them from the front door. She doesn't really trust boys nowadays.

"Is Frederika's free this afternoon? I would like to take her for a walk by the park and talk about stuffs. I simply mean, I want to know her better." said Aiden, smiling.

Nymira grunted and went upstairs to call Frederika. She went running down the stairs and smiled at Aiden widely.

"Yes! I'd love to!" she grinned from ear to ear.

"Is Cepherine busy?" asked Xander.

Frederika shook her head.

"She's really busy. But maybe tomorrow she could have a break then you can take her somewhere where she could relax"

Elson came downstairs to see who's the visitors are. He waved at them. Aiden waved back happily.

"So.. Where are you going now since Cepherine is very doing your stupid clothes for the damn party?" Aiden asked him.

"I'm going back to the mansion" he said. "I still have training and I need to review about what's happening on my father's company"

"Wait what? Review? Isn't some peoples on the newspaper company should be doing that?" said Aiden, giving him a confused look.

"It's just a bit of review then I'll be giving it to the newspaper company so that they could put my review on the newspaper article next week."

"Alright then, see you around" Aiden waved him goodbye.

Xander nodded and walked out of the shop and vanished from their sight. Aiden turned around Frederika and grinned widely at her, making her face pink.

"Let's go" he said.

-------------------

Crowds of people were in the parks. Friends and families are having fun with their love ones. There was a large fountain in the middle of the park. Several flowers were trimmed. Trees are nearly covering the whole park. Aiden the Frederika walked around the park, finding a place where they can be together alone. Aiden pointed at the end of the park where there's a bench and no one was there. They went there and sat. Frederika was blushing.

Some crews of girls came blushing and popping their eyes out as they saw Aiden. Then suddenly they frowned as they noticed Frederika on his side.

"Who is that girl? Why is she's with Aiden?"

"She doesn't deserve to talk or be with her! She's ugly and what's with her clothes? Looks old!!"

Whispers from the girls made Frederika uncomfortable. Aiden noticed her looking down at the ground. He looked at the girls who were murmuring. He shot them a glare then the girls suddenly walked away. He looked at Frederika.

"Are you okay now Rika?" he asked.

"Oh Um.." she looked around, she can no longer see the girls who were talking about her. "Yes, I guess.."

"Good" he said. "So, about Cepherine, cam you tell me more about her? Instead of being a happy-go-lucky dress maker?"

"You like her?" she asked quickly.

"What? No!! Of course not! It is Xander who likes her." he said.

"Oh..." Frederika paused for a moment. "Okay, then I'll tell you everything I know about her to help Xander to know her better"

"Oh my, thanks a lot Rika!! I'd pay you anything on return!" said Aiden cheerfully.

"Cepherine is a very kind girl and she's easy to trust. She's willing to sacrifice anything if it's really needed. She grew up with no parents, the only child of the Creststar family. She grew up with her grandparents, they are already passed away 5 years ago. She loves to read books relates to dresses and gowns. She loves star gazing, she always wished upon a star that falls once in a while. Her favorite color is blue. She loves blueberries. She's a good baker, she usually bake cookies with blueberries on it. Since she can't make a blueberry pie properly, she only buy on the bake shops even though it's a bit expensive."

"Well, is that all you know then?" he asked her.

"So far, yes."

"Ohh, alright then. How about more details about her attitude" he said.

Frederika sighed and breaths deeply.

"She's not a hothead. She's usually calm and she's always eager to study about the villages she went. She knows everything about this City, their cultures, history, food, and places where they are located."

"Smart girl" Aiden added.

"So far that's all I know." She said.

"Okay then, thank you for the wonderful details you gave me. I really appreciated your time." he grinned at her.

For the remaining time, Aiden juat stared at the sky watching the birds flying across the sky. The sky is orange with a mix of pink. It's wonderful. Frederika's stomach rumbled. She blush of embarrassment. Aiden chuckles.

"Want to eat?" he asked

She nodded, still blushing.

"Let's go and eat then. There's nothing to be embarrassed of, we are always like that. Hahaha."

They headed to a fancy cafe. People seems to know him because they all shoot a look at him. This is making him uncomfortable, he don't want people looking at him because he's that popular. He doesn't even want to be popular, he just wanted a normal life being a leader and be with his friends and love ones without peoples in the way.

He sat down on a chair next to Frederika.

"So, how about you? Do you like anyone here in the city?" Frederika suddenly asked him.

"What? No, I don't like anyone here much.. I can't find someone attractive. I still have to be a general before I'll have a lover, I promised myself that" he answered.

Frederika understand. She knew he don't like someone because he still need to fulfill his dreams before loving someone. When they finished eating Aiden escorts Frederika back to the shop and waves her goodbye.
