Wandering

The Kiss ( III )

She was staring at the black massive old oak door for quite some time now. Her eyes were immovable like the rest of her body. She was sitting like dead on the water on a red divan chair facing her father's study.

She was unsure of what she's feeling at the moment.

She was scared to look at his eyes and find disappointments there.

She was happy that after five long years she finally able to see him and talk to him again.

She's also nervous.

She literally can hear her hearbeat in her ribcage.

She's chatty but she can't find her tongue right now.

What would she say first to him?

Will he answer her if she asked?

Will he look at her the same way he looked at her in the past?

Will he finally tell her why he gave her a cold shoulders?

Will they become friends again after today?

Will they able to mend their broken friendship and start over again?

Or

Will today be their last conversation in this lifetime?

She's petrified.

She did everything to speak to him but it was of no avail.

He refused her many times over.

As she was sipping her hot jasmine tea, the door gently opened.

She was frozen in the moment.

Their eyes locked and everything else fades away.

Those eyes.

He had the most wonderful brown eyes that were like a maze and you can't help but get lost in.

But he never smiled at her.

She looked away, a little bit hurt of the way he acted.

"Shen Yue. Can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked her with uncertainty.

" My Lord,  it is quite respectful of a gentleman if he asked the lady first if her day is okay" she answered back with a slight tease in her voice.

"How's your day?"

"Where will we talk?" She asked back without answering his question.

She heard him grumbled.

" Just follow me" he walked passed her and walked towards the door leading to her garden.

She followed her silently and clumped her hands together on her back.

On the center of her garden was her old brass tea table with two different colored chairs. Yellow and violet her two favorite color. It was surrounded by moss green bushes, clusters of yellow daffodils, sea of lavender and small quantity of cattleya orchid near her apple tree at the side of the fence.

" I will marry you " he suddenly said before she even had the chance to sit down.

Her knees turned to jellies and she was too shocked to even speak of anything.

" Dylan, if you just marry me just because of the promise between our families, please stop. I will not tolerate things out of responsibility. And if you pity me because of my reputation, please stop again. I can pretty well handle myself. She carefully explained to him.

" No it's not that. Just hear me out. It will definitely benefit us. I need a wife to carry my heir without all the drama. I don't need her to love me and I won't meddling with her life. I know that you don't love me and honestly you need a husband just like me who won't give a damn of whatever you are doing. You may have an affair with another man, I won't give a damn and won't call you out for that. Just give me an heir. In simplest term it's a marriage of convenience. He told her point blank.

Silence enveloped them as she was pondering of answers that she'll give him.

" And if it ease your mind, I will only have intercourse with you once a year, he swiftly added.

" Didi, how could you make me pregnant if we only have sex once a year?? Even Connor do it everyday and yet  her lady is not yet pregnant! What are you a God? I'm a Virgin Mary? The holy spirit will enlightened my womb and I will conceived right away?? She was looking at him like he was lunatic.

" Shen Yue!!! Why are you familiar with Connor's sex life? Did he signed his attendance at your desk everytime he bangs a lady?? He was clearly irritated.

" Of course not!. I always saw him doing the thing with her!"

" Why would you peep into one's room? Are you really a pervert like what the gossips say?

" Connor did it on the grass, under the tree, on the barn, near the lake, in my garden and everywhere he can bang her even on broad daylight! What I am supposed to do? Give them a room? They were horny and there's nothing I could do about it!" She was trying to hold her anger but she really wanted to smack him.

" And why would you compare my sex life with connor??!!"

"Why can't I? You wanted to have an heir but only make love to me once a year and Connor wanted a child too so he had sex with her every single day but still his mate did not conceived a child? Do you understand what I'm saying? You need to have sex with me everyday until I conceived your child just what like Connor did! She explained to him like she was explaining to a five year old child.

" Ah, so you like me then? Why would you ask me to bed you everyday? His eyes were exprressionless but he is slightly amused.

She was caught offguard.

" Oh Connor is here! She happily exclaimed.

" Connor!! Come here!!
