Tempting

15

A week passes by with Eric coming by everyday since that day, I have come to enjoy his presence and conversations as they always seem to hook me in.

We have also gotten a lot more closer than the last time and I'm seriously considering having him as a friend. Though for selfish reasons,it's still nice to have a friend who always has something interesting to keep your attention.
Especially if it's something that you like.

Eric's frequent visits has obviously brought a change in the atmosphere of the house as even I can feel my parents good mood.

I know it's not because I did anything good,not that I can think of, but certainly has got to do with my interactions with Eric.

They've been spying on me when I'm out on a walk with him and they are not in the least bit discreet about it.

I mean can they be any more obvious than that,having the butler leave his post to come and feed the horses is the least of the ridiculous ideas they've had.
What is the stable boy there for then?

I'm in my room right now preparing for my lesson with the fencing teacher.
I took on this lesson rather willingly of all the lessons my mother signed me up for as she described it as necessary for a daughter of nobility as myself.

I'm at ease with fencing because the teacher is not as uptight as all those madames who teach the classics and etiquette,and a male for that matter.

I ascertained that having the lowest form of self defense skills is a must for anyone who wants to travel out in the wild so I happily took the lessons.

And now I'm late with all my rambling, he hates it when I'm late saying it kills of the enthusiastic vibe at the beginning of the lesson.
He is one amusing yet strict man, Master Zhao.

"Thank you Lea, I think Mr. Zhao has waited long enough"
"It's ok my lady, tis' my duty"
"So I will leave now before he gets anymore angrier"

I left the room and walked out of the house towards the fencing area,up ahead I can hear his complains from the room and I know I've messed up.

Right now I can imagine him walking up and down while waiting for me.
As I stepped into the room I hear an angry voice order immediately.

"Get over here young lady"

Oh fudge,I'm in deep waters now.
I knew it gets like this whenever he is angry,this is going to be a long lecture.

"Yes Master Zhao"
