Meeting The Sultana [Prt.1 COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 19

I came out of the bathroom while carrying a clean towel to wipe my wet hair. I was half naked and topless when Zabea saw me in this condition.

"Dinner is ready, Caio.". She said and immediately took her eyes off me.

"I'm sorry because you saw me like this, is it okay with you?". I asked her. I immediately put on a white tshirt and a khaki shorts.

"It's okay Caio, you're not the only guest I've handled. You're probably the fifth of them and the rest of them used to be very rude and very abusive". She said to me. I turned to her and gave her my full attention.

"And does the Sultana have a law on such acts of guests?". I asked her in surprise.

"There is. But I just keep quiet because I don't want a big mess". She said.

"Human rights! You have to report to the Sultana or to the officials all the mistreatment of other guests on handmaids. What right do the guests have to abuse you?! Damn". I touched my forehead because of what she said.

"Don't worry Caio. Nothing bad happened". She softly said.

"I hope that thing doesn't happen to you again". I whispered.

I took the perfume and applied a little to the clothes I was wearing. Sultana and I recently went out to the Library, tomorrow we will show our artworks.

"Come on because the food is ready". Zabea said. I just smiled and approached her.

"Grilled. I'm always excited whenever there are grilled foods on our table. Especially the seafoods. Thank you for making them Zabea.". I said to her happily.

"It's nothing, it's my job to cook for you. Do you want me to turn on the radio and do you want to listen to music?". She asked me.

I looked at her because of her nice suggestion. I always love to listen to songs especially latin music. the beats and their lyrics are beautiful. I’m just curious what kind of music they have here in North Africa.

"If that's also what you want then there's no problem. But do you want to eat with me? You've prepared so much food and I can't afford to consume it all?". I offer her.

"No. I finished eating with some handmaids earlier. Just enjoy the food Mr. Caio.". She said in her soft voice.

I just smiled at her. I started eating. I put a little vegetable salad on my plate and grabbed grilled squid to taste. I love eating squid. When I was in the Philippines, I always went to a restaurant to taste their 'adobong squid'.

And I decided that tomorrow I will prepare dinner for Zabea and me. During my stay here, Zabea becomes a part of me every hour, if I think about it, I just arrived here yesterday and this is how I immediately became attached to Zabea. But I don't care as long as I don't violate the law of the palace and Zabea's own law.

I was about to swallow the cabbage when a sensual music played and with every beats it was contagious. Every beat of the instrumental music that is played goes with my heartbeat and I feel like I want to go with the flow and dance to the music. But I'm sure that I'm a bad dancer.

I looked at Zabea with a smile on my face and when I realized that she was starting to dance my heartbeat suddenly quickened. If before my heartbeat was in sync with the beat of the music, now my heartbeat is beating faster because of the enticing dance of the woman in front of me.

Her hips swayed and her upper body matched the music. The dress she is wearing now also goes with the flow of her movements and her enticing hands follow a dance step.
