???????? The Prince And I Chapter Twenty:
(Slave To The Royals ????)
???? EFUA KELECHI’S POV ????
“Eลinegbamฤ! Lotanna what are you doing in my room!”
I am too surprised to make a run for this, instead I am frozen on a spot as Lotanna stares hungrily at me and I can swear my feet’s are almost turning to jelly at the way his eyes undresses me. What is he doing in my room of all places! I actually thought I locked the door. I grip my wrapper tightly and take a gulp.
“Lotanna!” I finally snap after finding my voice. That jolts him up, because his eyes widens.
“I’m sorry… I didn’t you were… I’m so fvcking sorry” he stammers.
“Whatever, just get out… And please knock when next you are coming in here” I choke out and he nods and hurries out.
I breathe out a sigh when the door slams close behind, I them rush to turn the lock. What if I had been stark naked, I cannot start to imagine what would have happened.
I rumage through the clothes Ewu gave me and decide on a blue floor length gown, at least this is the only one that won’t look like I have just stepped into my grandmother’s cloth. I stand up and slip my leg into my sandals.. I’m sure going to have blisters if these are the only footwear’s my feet would know for the next seven or so days. I hope Ewu can get me some flops too.
I come out of the room steathily and hoping to avoid Lotanna when I see him. Fortunately he is not anywhere around as I walk to the kitchen. Ewu is dancing about and singing a native song as she cooks and I can’t help but smile. Somehow she reminds of my mother. Mother loved cooking and whenever she cooks, she loves to dance and sing. I do not know that I’m crying until I feel my teardrops wet my folded arms. I immediately wipe it and sniff causing Ewu to turn to me.
“Bodyguard Efua, you are awake” she says, beaming at me.
“Yes I am” I step further into the kitchen. “What’s for dinner? Maybe I could help”
“No, no, no!” Ewu raises the spoon in the air waving it dramatically. “You are not allowed to stress yourself too much Efua… Just sit down and watch me do my job… I haven’t really cooked a royal meal for years now since the royal family probably forgot the existence of this place”
“Then why are you still here?”
Ewu shrugs. “I knew he was going to come back… I can’t possibly leave him in the hands of someone else. He is like the son I never had” I know she is referring to Lotanna so I nod to her statement.
Curiously I ask. “You don’t have children?” Ewu laughs.
“Of course I do, I have two beautiful girls.. Twins actually… I just never had a boy or maybe I didn’t have the chance to bear one.. My husband died two years after the birth of our babies” her face falls at the last statement.
“Oh I’m so sorry for bringing that up” I say feeling bad for asking.
“It’s okay, its been thirteen years so I’m kind of used to it”
“Used to what?” I can feel his masculine presence even before he speaks. I turn to look at Lotanna and he is staring right at me.
“It is not something you should worry yourself about. Why don’t you both go out for a swim or something while I finish up this food” Ewu says.
“Of course Ewu” Lotanna replies but does not break his eye contact with me as he grabs my hands and pulls me out with him.
“Why… What do you want!” I whisper yell trying to push his hands off mine as we make our way out of the house.
“You are my bodyguard, shouldn’t you be with me always” I roll my eyes, why is he talking like he didn’t just see me half naked some moments ago?
“Did you not say i did not come here to accompany you or something like that?” I snap. I do not even know why I am annoyed or probably I do know but will not admit it.
Admit the fact that I am annoyed that he does not seem fazed by the fact that he had seen me half naked. Am I not attractive enough? I know I sound so pathetic right now but it is not my fault that I am forgetting that this man is the son of the brutal king that took my family away from me, and yet I cannot stop myself from falling for him.
Lotanna stops when we get to the back of the house.. My eyes almost pops out of it’s socket as I stare interestedly at the beautiful clear pool before me. I glance at Lotanna. “What are we doing here?”
“Taking a swim of course” he answers pulling of his shirt. My brain is probably going into an overdrive as I stare at his bare chest. It is then I remember that I have actually seen him naked some days ago. I flush at the thought, biting my inner cheeks to prevent my mind going further.
“Are you going to keep standing there drooling or come join me eh” he smirks at me. I wipe my hands over my lips subconsciously.
“I wasn’t drooling” I snap. Lotanna bursts into a fit of laughter. I glare at him and angrily push him into the water.
“Hey!” He yells coughing and then it is like he starts to sink.
“Lotanna! Lotanna!” Fear grips me and I immediately pull of my sandals and dive into the water. Lotanna’s hands grab my waist and I turn to look at him. He is smirking at me again.
“So you do care huh?”
I hit his chest glaring angrily at him. “Don’t ever play such prank on me again… I thought you were drowning”
“Does that mean you like me” he raises his eyes up in a questioning manner. I kick away from him.
“No, I don’t”
“I think you do… You just don’t want to admit it”
“I do not like you Lotanna Royal”
Lotanna chuckles and grabs me again, bringing his face closer to mine. “That’s the essence of this vacation Efua Kelechi.. I will make you like me”
