By now, if you know my mother, you would've known, that shopping with her goes
.
.
.
.
.

Right! Horrible! She goes to every shop, she sees every item of the shop, And then rejects all of them and goes to many other shops.

The shop that will be lucky enough to gain my dear mother's attention, will suffer more. The price... would be discussed for almost an hour.

We are quite wealthy. But still, according to my mom, bargaining is very important for a woman.

Now, you would have guessed from where my brother learnt to be a miser.

"No. You don't have good things." My mother said. "Let's go to any other shop. Come Adaira."

"Mother, I don't think there are any more shops in this small village.", I said.

I was bored, when in a small corner of my mind a special someone appeared.

Where is Captain by the way?

"Mother, I am bored, can I go for a walk?" I asked her.

"Yes, dearie!! Why not...". Without thinking twice, I got my parasol and left the shop.

Setting my gown neatly I looked for Captain Carter. Where is he?

I started walking towards the church. The scene was very pleasing, new flowers were blooming, and the trees were standing proudly.

"Hey, Lady Adaira!", someone shouts from far away. I know who this someone is.

I turned behind to find Captain riding a horse and racing towards me.

One second, straight towards me.

"What pray are you doing?" I shouted back.

Just 20 steps away.

"Out of my way." He said shrugging.

Ha! In your dreams.

"No. You back off."

Just 10 steps away.

Why the hell is his horse so fast?

"As you wish." He gives a smirk.

He will not hurt you.

He will not stop.

He will not hurt you.

He will not stop.

6 steps

5 steps.

I am so dead!! My new gown!!

4 steps.

If my gown gets dirty, Captain will regret it.

3 steps.

He is not stopping. I shut my eyes.

2 steps.

1 step

0 Steps.

Nothing happened. I slowly opened my eyes. There stood the horse... proudly, and Captain on his back smiling broadly.

Did I ever tell you how handsome his face looked? Especially when he smiled, and my my...his curly brown hair looked damn great in this mess. And his uniform… it showed his broadchest perfectly.

"You really are brave, My Lady." He said, making me realise that I was checking him out.

Bad Adaira! Bad. Bad. Bad. What must he be thinking of you!!

"Yes I am damn brave." I said. "But you are also not bad huh. You just come racing towardsme. And you were sure that you can stop on last step?"

"What can I say." He said jumping down from the horse. "Practice."

"Will you teach me how to ride a horse?" I asked. I have asked my brother several times but
but he is so annoying.

And did you remember how he teach Miss Linton, and too in men's style.

Bloody chauvinist.

"Ok fine".

"You will??", I asked in confusion, not being able to digest the fact that he agreed in one go.

He is easy to handle.

"Of course I will. Wait a second.", he said. And whistled in the direction from which he had
come.

A black horse came riding on the slopes. A dazy man came in sight. Must be the caretaker of the horse. That's what I understood from his clothing.

"Yes sir… You asked for me?", the man bowed deeply.

"Yes. Markus, go and arrange a beautiful horse for this beautiful Lady, with a suitable saddle." He said.

I tried ignoring his compliment but my cheeks didn't listen, and blood came rushing up mycheeks making them tomato red.

Why is my color so fair?

It is beyond easy to notice a slight blush, and now I am blushing just... too much!!

~~~~~~~~

"Hey you dumb creature generally known as horse, I am giving you an order. Let me, up and,don't you dare move again...", I said, while trying to get on the horse for the 45th time.

A laugh came from behind me. Uhu! Captain has asked me to help but I just said 'I don'tneed help I can do it myself'.

Anyways, I thought I could, because Captain did that quite easily. But this beautiful white creature starts moving whenever I try to sit on it.

Once again a fist of laugh.

"Captain! Don't you dare laugh at me!" I said, giving him my best warning glance. "You can do that easily, because you can spread your legs on both sides of the horse. On the other hand,in my case, I have to put both my legs on the same side, and I can't balance that well."

"No. You are wrong here. As far as I know, while being taught, you must be willing to do ityourself... but as a teacher, I have to help you."

"I am a strong and independ- hey you bloody beast! Hold on!!", I struggled.

"You know what, by listening to your thoughts I really doubt the fact that you are miss- um I
mean Mrs. Ambrose’s real sister.", he shrugged.

"You know what? I doubt the same." I said. "Please tell me how to get on this horse."

I am done now.

"Ahh atlast. Let me..." He came forward and knelt down, for a second my mind drift towards
one of the romantic novel I read, and thousands of possibilities run through my mind about captains move,

But he raised his hands, left upon  right, and asked me to step on it to climb the horse.

Ooh so that's what he meant.

I carefully stepped on his hand, taking in mind to not hurt him.
And I was upon the horse.

"So, how do we ride this cute white horse?"

“My my! You changed your thoughts about the horse’s looks so fast!”, he smirked. “So, will
you sit on the saddle, and have one foot on a stirrup and one knee over the pommel, which is the front part of the saddle, in order to gain some stability? Now, as soon as you are
seated, put your left foot in the stirrup, and your right knee over the pommel.”.

“I didn’t get anything you said.”

He explained to me once again, and this time, I got it.

It’s not that hard at all…
