Part 28 - Date Night

"Are you okay?" asked Namaari.

"Yeah, I was just nervous. It feels a little weird being a princess and being adored like this."

"You'll get used to it eventually dep la."

"I guess so."

Namaari was just admiring how beautiful Raya looked and Raya noticed her staring and said, "Um- Dep la? Is something wrong?"

"You're just so beautiful! Boy am I fortunate to have a girlfriend sweet and beautiful on the outside and the inside."

Raya blushed at the compliment and said, "I'm pretty fortunate too, to be yours, and you look astounding too by the way! Your messy curly undercut is gorgeous."

Namaari placed a hand around her, dragging her closer and said, "Aww, thank you dep la, however, you look a little exhausted too. I hope your hair and makeup aren't ruined but you can rest your head on my shoulder."

"It's okay, I'm fine dep la, I'm wide awake and ready to have fun as long as I'm with you. I love you so much, and I'm so grateful for the effort that you put into being here to spend this day with me."

"Of course baby, I love you too!"

Namaari lifted her chin but just as they were about to connect their lips, one of the carriage wheels went over a rock, causing a sudden shaking motion.

"Maybe this is a sign that we should wait until later to do the do." said Raya after a little laugh.

"Agreed."

They arrived at a secluded, beautifully decorated area for their date. It was outside of a restaurant. A small band was even there, ready to entertain Raya. Namaari took her hand as they got out the carriage and as soon as Raya entered, the band began playing and everyone bowed to her. Raya was drawn to tears of happiness and there were 'aww's coming from persons around. Namaari embraced her and after a little while, she took a deep breath and faced everyone saying, "Thank you all so much for doing all this...for me."

In the responses there were persons appreciating Raya's gratitude and saying 'Anything for you' and 'You're most welcome'. She was indeed loved and cherished by Kumandra. They were escorted to their seats and it made Namaari so happy to see how much her girlfriend was stunned by everything and grateful for it all. They spent the rest of the evening together and having the various meals, each land of Kumandra having their touch in the ingredients. 

After a very enjoyable time, the couple returned to the palace of Heart and on the way, Namaari said seductively, "The night's not done yet dep la."

Raya smiled and raised a brow then said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Oh I think you know."

"Hmm...I'm a little confused." Raya decided to play dumb and tease her girlfriend.

Namaari groaned and said, "Really?"

"Mhm." replied Raya, smirking. 

She then got closer to Namaari and whispered, "I'm gonna be your little binturi who will be on top."

"Heck nah, The top is my place." 

Namaari spoke a little loud and two of the guards accompanying them looked at each other with their eyes widened in shock. Raya nudged her and when she realized, she felt a wave of embarrassment. Raya tried to retain a hysterical laugh that was desperately trying to escape from her mouth. Thankfully, it gradually went away. When they arrived in Heart, Chief Benja and Dalia were on the lawn talking. Dalia was in a long, fitted dress, making her small baby bump visible. Raya was delighted to see her soon-to-be stepmother looking so gorgeous in the midst of her pregnancy. Her long black hair flowed gently in the evening wind and she felt relaxed. This was one of the few times when she felt this great since she's been enduring all the side effects of pregnancy.
