Chapter 165 - Do You Like Music?
"Hmm?"
When Alfonso woke up, he realized something immediately, someone was looking at his face with a sweet smile.
"Good morning Little Al, or, to be more precise, good afternoon," Said Demeter.
Alfonso looked up, indeed, the face of Demeter was reflexed on his eyes.
"Wait, if she is up, then that means…" Alfonso looked at his \'pillow\'.
"You like it? There hasn\'t been a human or god to managed to get to touch my legs, aren\'t you the lucky one~?" Said Demeter.
"… I guess" Said Alfonso.
Indeed, Alfonso was currently enjoying a nice nap on Demeter\'s legs.
"I remembered being with Artemis and the others studying…" Said Alfonso.
"That\'s right you and the others studied until early in the morning, when I entered the room, all of you were asleep on the floor, I arranged for Little Pit and Taylor to sleep on other rooms, as for Artemis, well, I kick her out of the room, surprisingly, she didn\'t wake up~" Said Demeter.
"Oi"
"What, she is a tough one, back in the days, she even slept in a cave, sleeping on the ground is nothing~" Said Demeter.
"And this situation?" Asked Alfonso.
"Well, I didn\'t want to wake you up" Said Demeter.
"…Thanks" Said Alfonso.
He wanted to stand up, however, Demeter put her hand on his head and stopped him.
"You looked so tired these days, always doing things here and there, writing even when your eyesight its damaged… how about you take a break? Let me spoil you a little "Said Demeter with concern.
Alfonso though for a bit before nodding and closing his eyes, enjoying the caress of Demeter.
"I think that, deep inside, I am still a little brat" Said Alfonso.
"Why?" Asked Demeter.
"Because I still like to be spoiled" Said Alfonso with some mockery.
"Everyone enjoys being spoiled, however, there are very few people who deserve be spoiled, you earn it, so, do you want anything special, little brat?" Asked Demeter with a smile.
"Nothing, just being like this is enough… I love your legs after all" Said Alfonso.
Demeter blushed a little and looked back at Alfonso, who had fallen slept once again.
"Smooth brat" Though Demeter.
They stayed like that for a couple of hours more before resuming their activities.
.............................................
After a few days of constant work, Alfonso finally managed to put everything on track.
"Anyway, everything is going according to the plan, we are still behind schedule, but we will make it by the end of the year" Said Ribeiro with a paper in hands.
"Good, now to the next issue, the people of Tulip will be here in one week, how are the houses for them going?" Asked Alfonso.
"The project has already begun, if we put some effort, we will make it just barely make it" Said Antiope.
"I don\'t like this tight dates, however, there is not much we can do, we have few hands after all, anyway, remember to let them have a good night of rest, I don\'t want them to get overly exhausted, in things come to worst, they will just had to sleep with some commoners until their homes are done" Said Alfonso.
"I appreciate your kind words; however, you don\'t have to worry, we are working because we want to" Said Antiope.
"Okay, that\'s all, thanks for your hard work" Said Alfonso.
"Yes, your highness"" Said both of them.
After that, they retired.
Alfonso was so busy these days, that now that he had some free time, he didn\'t know what to do.
"I know, I will go with Susana, we can do some debates about whatever" Though Alfonso.
Alfonso went to Susana\'s room.
He knocked on the door, after a few seconds, a voice came from the other side.
"Who is it?" Asked Susana.
"It\'s me, is this a good time?" Asked Alfonso.
"Dad? Come on in, its open" Said Susana.
When Alfonso entered, he realized that Susana\'s bed was packed with books, on her desk, a small mountain of papers could be seen.
"It seems that she has also been working hard" Though Alfonso with satisfaction.
Sitting on her desk Susana, looked at some papers, however, Alfonso could notice that she wasn\'t paying much attention.
"You seem exhausted, how about you take a break?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yeah, I was about to, however… there is that much I can do" Said Susana while looking at her legs with a bitter smile.
"Well, I brought this to myself, no point in complaining now" Said Susana.
"There is a lot of ways to spend time without the necessity to walk you know?" Said Alfonso.
"Apart from reading and writing, what else can you do with my condition?" Asked curiosity Susana.
"Well, I used to have a lot of ways to spending time, however, there isn\'t anything right now that I can work with like cards or a computer…" Though Alfonso.
Alfonso though for some time, after that, he thought of an idea.
He sat on the bed and looked at Susana.
"Do you like music?" Asked Alfonso.
"Music? Well… yeah, I have heard some minstrels but…" Said Susana.
"Great, we will do some singing then!" Said Alfonso.
"Singing? But I don\'t know how to sing…" Said Susana.
"Me neither, however, nobody is listening so who cares!" Said Alfonso.
"Okay… but what song?" Said Susana.
"Hehe, you have never heard them, just follow me with the rhythm and repeat the chorus, okay?" Said Alfonso.
"…Okay?"
"Okay this is what you gonna say" Alfonso say someone words to Susana.
She was perplexed.
"What kind of lyrics are those?" Asked Susana.
"Hehe, just go with the flow, okay, here we go!"
"Tum, tum , tum~ , turu turun, turu turuuuun~"
Alfonso set the rhythm.
"Do you remember the 21st night of September?"
When Alfonso began singing Susana was a little perplexed, however, after hearing a little more…
"Love was changing the minds of pretenders"
She also began to feel the beat.
"While chasing the clouds~ away~~"
She also started to move her body a little
"Our hearts were ringing"
"In the key that our souls were singing~"
Susana closed her eyes and felt the rhythm, she suddenly looked forward to her part!
Alfonso sang for a little more before making a gesture to Susana, she prepared and then…
"Ba de ya, say do you remember"
"Ba de ya, dancing in September"
" Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day"
"NOW TOGETHER!" Said Alfonso.
""Ba de ya, say do you remember~!""
""Ba de ya, dancing in September~!""
""Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day~!""
Both of them didn\'t realize, but they were singing louder and louder and moving their shoulders and arm at the rhythm of the music; indeed music is universal, and a good song would always be a good song.
After all, who hasn\'t felt their body moving on its own while hearing \'september\'?
However, this was only the start.
