~AKÂSHA~

The wedding day approached closer and I was still feeling as if I was being kept in the dark. Today was the day to do the food tasting and the cake tasting. Mandisa sent our finest chefs to help prepare some meals for the tasting.
"Akasha, hurry~ I'm hungry! I skipped breakfast for this." Keta whines and I roll my eyes as I put the last two gold clips in my hair.
"Keta, you are aware this is a tasting, not a eat everything on my plate and have seconds." I giggle and she groans.
"If you tell them to give me seconds they will." She begins to giggle too and I take her arm, heading towards the dining room.

Voices could be heard and the scent of different aromas hit my nose as we enter the dining room. Namjoon, Soo, and surprisingly Kyung-Tae were already seated. I make eye contact with Namjoon and then look over at Kyung-Tae who kept his head down. I quickly walk over and sit in the seat beside Namjoon.
"What took so long?" He whispers as he hesitantly kisses the side of my temple. The gesture was very surprising and it made my stomach flutter a bit.
"My hair did not want to cooperate, I do apologize for my tardiness." I explain and he nods.

"Good afternoon Prince Namjoon, Princess Akasha." A man greets while bowing in front of the table. Today we have prepared some of the finest dishes for your special day. We will start you off with a red and white wine tasting. Along with the appetizers you can select from." He bows before walking off and some chefs and waiters come wheeling in some carts. They serve Namjoon and I first, filling our glasses and setting a plate of different shaped foods in front of us. When Keta receives her plate she immediately digs in and I laugh.

"I'm loving this chicken samosa!" Soo compliments as she continues to dig in. "I think your countries food is delicious, Princess." Kyung-Tae also compliments and Namjoon sends a glare his way. "What do you like so far, Akasha?" Namjoon whispers into my ear and his voice sends shivers down my spine.
"I-I like everything." I answer shyly and I could feel a smirk form on his lips.
"Good."
"Akasha, we have to have the Fattah, please! The lamb was so tender and I'm not sure what else was on the plate but we need it all. From the appetizers to the main course." She sighs and rubs her stomach.

"I take it you're ready for the cake?" I chuckle at her and she gives me the 'You know it' look. Namjoon calls for the waiters and cooks to clear our plates and they bring out plates with slices of cake on them. I reach for my fork but Namjoon stops me.
"Here." He offers me a piece of cake already on his fork. I turn to him slightly, staring into his eyes, and slowly open my mouth. He places the cake into my mouth and my lips close around the fork. I look up and see Kyung-Tae staring then he quickly looks away.

The cake was sweet and light and I fell in love with the cream and strawberry layers. Namjoon grabs my chin and leans in close. His lips almost touching mine, I forget how to breathe once again. He takes his tongue and slowly licks my bottom lip. He then pulls away and nods in approval.
"The frosting on the cake is delicious." It was an undeniable fact that I wanted him. As the day came nearer my want for him grew. He made my insides melt, by just his sheer presence.

The sound of a chair scooting against the floor snaps me out of my daze. Kyung-Tae stands up, excuses himself, and walks out. What on earth has gotten into him? I wanted to get up and ask him if he was okay but I'm sure Namjoon would find an issue with that.
"We'll take this one." Namjoon points to the one he fed me and the chef grins and bows.
"I do hope you enjoyed all of the food and just know your reception food will be the talk of kingdoms far and wide." He boasts and clears our tables for the last time.

"I am due for a nap." Keta yawns and dismisses herself to her room.
"Namjoon, What do you have planned to-" I was cut off me another female voice. My head snaps in the direction of the voice and there stood Nola. My stomach turns at the sight of her.
"Namjoon~ I have something important to discuss with you...in private." She informs while walking up to us and then looking at me.
"Nola, what is it?" He questions and she grabs his arm.
"Come with me." She smiles at him and they walk off...he didn't even bother looking back at me.
