The Rules of Love
By: Shannon Rutherford
A self-help book
Prologue
In the next four chapters I will tutor you on the etiquette of how to get the man you want. But in order to be successful in your attempts at getting the man you want, you must first understand Rule 1.
Rule 1: Follow each rule! Following each rule is vital in your journey to getting the man you want.
Chapter 1
Rule 2: When the object of your affections is nearby do not, and I repeat do NOT, blatantly ignore him. Catch his eye and give him a mysterious, but coy smile. This will let him know where you stand, making it easier for him to approach you.
'Focus on the water, focus on filling up the water bottle, don't look up, but don't look like your trying to ignore him, just look like your casually filling up your water bottle.' I was chanting to myself, trying to keep my cool. 'Why did I come to fill up my water bottle, it was already full.' One side of my brain asks. 'Because you knew that Sayid would be at the cave, doing something or other.' The other side of my brain answers.
'Rule 2: Catch his eye and give him a mysterious, but coy smile.' A voice says in my head, it's the voice of an old friend, well, she's not my friend any more, she stopped being my friend after I beat her at being Prom Queen, but still, she was the one that first told me those four important Rules of Love.
'Catch his eye and give him a mysterious, but coy smile.' Sayid's standing over to my left. I turn my head so that I can see if he's noticed me. He has, I stand up and go to give him the smile, but my foot slips on the wet rock edge around the pool of water, and I fall in. "Ahhhh!" I scream. Flip-flops don't have very good grips when it comes to slippery, wet rock. Luckily the water isn't to shallow, so when I belly flop I can put down my hands so I don't hit the rock bottom.
I stifle a curse and chance a glance over at Sayid to see if he saw that. He's doubled over with laughter. 'Yep, he saw that.' After he gets control of his laughter, he walks over to me. My cheeks are bright red.
"Wanted to take a bath, I see. Well, here's an idea, it might be easier to get clean, if you take the clothes off." He chuckles at his own wit.
"Ha, ha, very funny, but, you see, I wasn't trying to get myself clean, I was trying to clean my clothes, myself getting clean is just a plus." He chuckles at my wit, too. He's a chuckler. You know, some guys laugh, some smile, and some chuckle. He chuckles.
"As much as I respect the fact that you wish to have clean clothes, you need to get out of our drinking water."
"What are you trying to say? That I'm dirty?"
"I might be."
"Well, you're no cleaner then me."
"That is true, but I'm not the one that's contaminating our drinking water." He offers me his hand, I take it and he pulls me out. "Now go put on a dry pair of dirty clothes."
"Aye, aye, Captain!" And with a salute of my hand, I was off to go find a dry pair of clothes.
