‘Xena, you know what would be romantic right now?’ I’m being prodded again. She never lets me sleep in.
‘What’s that?’ ‘Letting me sleep.’ ‘That is not romantic.’ Her eyebrow raises. ‘Ok, you know what you win, congratulations. Now I’m going back to sleep.’ I throw the blanket over my head. She scoffs at me. ‘I’m winning this fair and square.’ ‘Ugghh.’ I throw the blanket off in dramatic fashion. ‘Fiine.’ If I wasn’t so competitive we wouldn’t be doing this right now, but most likely she would still be making me get up, regardless. ‘Come on, we need to resupply before we head out tomorrow.’ I follow her out into the market place. I’m still half asleep so I stumble around behind her; I’m not even paying attention to what she’s doing. I’m pretty sure she’s talking but all I can think about is the bed and how can I get back in it. Suddenly Xena is poking my shoulder hard. ‘Ow!’ I rub the area in an attempt to quell the pain. ‘You’re not paying attention.’ She gets close to my face. ‘I have been talking for the past 15 minutes.’ I can’t help but laugh a little. ‘The longest you’ve ever talked was 1 minute 14 seconds. I counted.’ She narrows her eyes at me. ‘Like I was saying,’ She grits her teeth then straightens up, putting a smile on her face. ‘I have lunch planned. And you better like it.’ ‘Xena, I don’t think threatening me is romantic.’ ‘Some people like that sort of thing.’ She smirks as she turns. ‘So meet me down by the lake. I’ve got a couple of things to get.’ She walks off without even waiting for a response. I’m somewhat dumbfounded for a moment. My curiosity of course overrides any questions or qualms I might have. I stroll down the street, playing with the wares of each stall as I pass. It takes me about 10 minutes longer than it should have to reach the lake. It’s really rather nice, not overgrown and with ducks floating serenely on the water’s surface. I pick a nice spot and sit back on my elbows. The sun feels good, completely wrapping me in warmth. It’s starting to lull me to sleep as Xena walks up and plops a basket unceremoniously down next to me. She gives me one of her grins, squatting down and motioning me to open it. Slowly I lift the lid to find; two sandwiches, two apples, and some cheese. Xena really went all out. I’m afraid my disappointment is a little too obvious but I try to mask it with a fake smile. Xena acts as if this is the best thing she’s ever done. I can think of a couple of things that were better. ‘Oh yumm.’ I feign excitement. Xena reaches in pulling out the sandwiches, handing me one. She sighs, looking out at the lake. It only takes minutes to eat, and frankly I’m still hungry, maybe a little grumpy. ‘Thank you.’ I smile sweetly at her. There’s an evil glint in her eye. I never said how romantic she had to be. In the future I should be more specific. The majority of the day is uneventful. She made me help her brush and clean Argo again; I think that horse is shiny now. I’m extra tired, I feel dirty, I’m starving and about ready to die. ‘Xenaaaa.’ I’m whining, I know I’m whining but I don’t care. Xena is ignoring me, pursing her lips and cocking her eyebrow. I’m not sure but I think she is trying to kill me. I’m beyond excited when she finally takes us to the tavern. I don’t care what they are serving, I’m going to have three helpings. She leads me to a small table next to the fireplace. ‘Wait there.’ She gives me a wink as she walks off. My fingers tap a rhythm against the table as I look around. It’s quiet tonight, just a few people scattered about the room. A platter of ribs slides in front of me. Looking up, I see Xena with a huge grin. ‘Special order.’ She has her own platter she puts down as she sits across from me. I know she loves me because I get my own rack of juicy, juicy meat. I dig in, getting meat and sauce all over my face and hands. I’m pretty sure Xena is happy that I’m too busy eating to talk. ‘By the God’s that was good.’ I exclaim as I suck the juices and sauce off my fingers, which I’m sure my mother would consider barbaric. She’s grinning, obviously feeling quite happy with herself. Meat is not romantic but I haven’t had this much in a while, and Xena was starving me. I’ll take what I can get. Unfortunately I am also too full to move quite yet; so mead and wine all around!While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
