Chapter 404 First Time Ever

   I laughed at her silly threat.

"There will be no need for that so what did you order for us?"

  "Gride beef with fried noodles"

She answered and I said okay. I imagined in my head what the dish would look like. Too much for living almost my life time in the woods. What could have become of me if I did not change environment and had lived in the woods for as long as I was alive? I can't even I imagine.

Abigail's point of view…

Mom returned, looking confused and I got worried. Did she find anything scaring about the lady or what?

   "Mom what did mom Gina said about the girl"

I asked and she looked up at then smiled. She did not tell me she was going to South, I just knew.

  "She said that the girl is not important so we should not be bothered about her"

She responded and I nodded. If she says there is nothing to worry about the girl then there is nothing to be afraid of

  "Okay mom, I thought maybe she said something else because of the state of your face"

 "What could she have said my dear. I might be worried about something else"

Mom said and left.

I sighed and left my room. I got to Theopihilus room and saw him lying carelessly on the bed. He opened his eyes the moment he felt my presence and smiled.

  "Looked who came visiting, first time ever. The remaining part of my day today will be blessed"

He said, laughing and I joined him.

  "Don't make me look bad, Theopihilus, anyone listening would think I am a bad bride. So what has the prince be doing all day?"

 "Nothing fun, just here. I had a long walk with the lord today. He did his final walk with me before I will become the lord. Welcome Abigail, what brought you to my place?" 

He asked and tapped a space for me to sit and I sat.

  "That's great you know, I can't wait for us to be married and rule South together"

He took my hands in his and squeezed them. 

  "You are acting sweet today, Abigail? You hadly come here and today you are here, you are passionately talking about ruling south with me. When did you start having Interest, Abigail?"

  I was lost for a while. Have I been giving him the attitude of not being interested. Ruling south has always been a dream I can't wait for to come into reality. 

  "Don't be ridiculous Theo, you know how much I love the South. I would do anything for it. I know I am not all that I should be but it does not mean I don't want us or I don't want the South. I want every damn thing alright, it's just that I feel it's too early for me. I am turning Seventeen in a few days time and I am suddenly getting married not that I was not aware that I will be married at seventeen but I want to still enjoy my youth, Theopihilus"

He sighed and pulled away from me then stood up. 

  I know my relationship with Theopihilus had not been great for the past eleven years. After that day he came visiting and we quarrelled before the blue moon which fell on my sixth birthday, he had become a different person. It's kind of he is just being compelled to be with me because our destinies are tired together. I bet you if he is given a grace to make a choice asid me, he would. That's how bad it's is but he can't because he knows witches and metas.

  "Theopihilus, I know you are still angry with me for what I said almost Eleven years ago and I had apologized time without number not that I am supposed to do so because you can't run away from us. I feel you drifting away more and more everyday but I am grateful that you can't run away from us, we are meant to be and that's it"

  I don't even know why I am suddenly sounding like this. My prideful self will always find it way out of it's lock. I thought I kept it in check when coming to visit him. I visited him to spend quality time with him and as it is now, I am ruining the moment with my bitter words. I always do each time.

  Theopihilus looked at me then shook his head,

  "Abigail, you should not have come here. You keep bringing the past each time we are together. Don't know why you feel I am drifting away. If you can't calm down for once and say sorry without your pride ruining it then don't bother apologizing because it is useless. Have a nice day, Wifey"

He said and left his room.
