Synder-Ella - Episode 22

DEDICATED TO MY BAE OF LIFE @HARMONY COFASHAN WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM THE WAR ZONE..LOL.

Henry was the first to open his eyes, he realized his partner was still fast asleep. She was obviously really tired. They had decided to rest a little bit under a tree and had in the process fallen asleep. She was sitting close to him, on the wet ground which was as a result of the morning dew. He shook his head at the fate of the beautiful gown that she wore. It was really messed up.

They hadn’t properly taken a good look at their surrounding before they slept last night, there was no time for that. He stood up to stretch his limbs and realized they were still in the middle of nowhere. As far as he was concerned, they were lost.

There were trees all around with their branches forming a kind of shade, blocking the ray of the sun.

He needed to do something before she wakes up, he needed to find something for them to eat and without further ado, he went on his way.

When she finally opened her eyes, she was startled, seeing she was the only in the woods. Had he abandoned her? Quickly she stood up.

. She didn’t even remember his name, neither could she remember if he actually gave her one

. But why would he just leave her here? She thought. He had saved her from that place and she had seen him as a good person and now....

“Hey.”

She looked around suddenly and there was no word to describe how she had felt when she found him coming towards her, unable to control her excitement, she rushed to hug him.

Henry was surprised but could only laugh. “Wow, what is this for?” He asked as she pulled away.

“I thought you abandoned me.” She said shyly.

“Wow! I would never do that. You and I are going to leave this place together.” He said and brought forward the bananas and coconut he had gathered. “Breakfast?”

She smiled as they walked back to their spot.

“Thank you.”

Finally they sat down to eat, he broke the coconut and they shared the water.

“Do you know where we are?” She asked but he shook his head.

“No, I don’t but we will find a way out of here. There is a lake close by, in case you want to take a shower....I promise I won’t come and peep on you.”

She laughed, “you can go blind if you do.”

He gasped, “are you a mermaid or some kind of medusa?” He asked.

“Well, you won’t be thinking that if you turn into a stone.” She joked and they both laughed.

“So, what’s your name, princess?”

Synder wanted to say she was not a princess but, right now, being called that by him, she actually felt like one, “I am Sy...Ella. My name is Ella.” She replied.

“I am Henry, your humble servant.” He replied with a bow but Synder only laughed, lifting her head up so the coconut water dripped from her mouth, forming a stream down to her neck and somewhere deep in to the hollow of her chest...Henry looked away and chewed on his banana....

Some minutes later, the two were walking towards the lake.

“So, why did you interfere anyway?” Synder asked.

“Interfere in what?” He asked.

“When you saw we were getting kidnapped, you could have called the policemen, did you actually think you could ask those assholes politely and they would let us go?” She asked.

Henry shrugged, “well, I thought I could be your hero.” He said and she laughed. “You really like laughing don’t you?”

She shrugged, “you seem to know what cracks me up and I think it’s a good day to laugh.  Besides, you are still my hero, you still saved me from there.” She said with a chuckle.

“That actually made me feel better.” Henry replied, “By the way, what you did was brave.” He said.

“What did I do?”

“You told them you are not a princess and you maintained your ground.”

“Sure, I am not a princess.” She said but Henry only smiled, “you are still doing that, anyway, I understand, I am neither a prince as well, I am just your humble servant.” He said, unbuttoning his shirt.

Synder wanted to ask what he meant by that but she was distracted when he began to remove his shirt.

“What are you doing?” She asked, trying to look away.

“I need a cold bathe, don’t worry. I am not a mermaid or whatever you said you are, I am human, in the flesh, and you should look, you might like one or two things...” He said with a wink while removing his trousers and abandoning it, then he rushed towards the lake and in one quick second, he dived into the water....

Synder couldn’t stop laughing, she couldn’t believe he had gotten naked right in front of her...oh well, thankfully she hadn’t looked. He was the craziest guy she would ever meet.

SO THIS IS FUN...LET'S NOT FORGET THAT PETER IS SOMEWHERE LOL...
