KING & QUEEN

The passing days become fast, after our last conversation at the dining hall, he came twice a week, or even once a month, I know I should've insist our so called marriage but what can I do, its not just a promise..I know I am being pathetic but just another 3 years won't hurt right?, why can't he just let it be. A knock from the door bring me back from thinking.

" come in " I was in the window looking outside, in my months of staying here I never been to the woods, I should make a mental note to ask Xandy to accompany me, riding the horse could divert my thoughts.

" Ms. Jassy, the Don and his wife arrived already..they wanted to see you."

" Okay, Amelia give me 5 minutes to freshen up,"

" its okay Ms. Jassy, just take your time"

" thank you, amelia I just whisper back" and the room become quite, I take a deep breathe. I choose a flowery maxi dress I paired it with my white flat sandals, my hair is in a messy bun.,.In the mirror I can see how my skin become even more pale, probably because I never go out..just put some lip gloss, my brows were thick so I don't have to use brows pencil, my lashes were thick and curly already.I'm ready.

IN THE GARDEN.....

" Oh my God!, Jasmine my child is that really you?..you are so much grown up, it been what ten-"

" 15 years " I cut her off, " I am 23 now" she had a huge smile in her face, she motion me to go nearer because I was standing, can't barely talk, she aged beautifully, just like a queen.

" oh child, Your eyes still had its compassion and innocence, I've been wanting to have a daughter but God never provide us one,insteed son's that was all so hard headed..now sit beside me and tell me what you think about the villa" seriously is this all she wanted to know..how about what I think on how they manipulate us in getting married without my concent..

" Mama, let her eat first ".out of nowhere the man whose I thought I won't be seeing again appear like nothings happen.

" sit, before the food gets cold " he told me.

" no I'm fine, I just drink my coffe awhile ago, Im good and-" Im trying to make him feel that I am not his responsobility.

" coffee is not a food, Jasmine, lately you're not eating well, and don't say you're on a diet because honestly you don't need one, trust me.." he was angry, but he teases me, I know he was up to something,the nerve!..what the hell!..what is it that he trying to play..as if he cared,.

" both of you just stop it, lets just eat ". the queen scolded them, funny because they were like her children. I couldn't suppress a giggle,I bite my lower lips, and queen just had this smirk of victory, but Alley can't take it he got up before whispering my ears something.

" follow me "..I was about to disobey him, but the elders were looking at us.. so I just excuse myself properly and follow him..he is just keep on walking, we already pass my room, probably were going to a study room or the library. I was very anxious,.maybe because I was mad on how he acts as if nothing happen,I can see how define his back is, he really knows how to carry himself, the very much sexy and fashionable way..,what's new?, he was indeed the CEO of the Cortez Airlines and Co..,suddenly I was hit in a tree, I mean in his back that is so like tree,it was so hard.

" done checking me out,?" he ask me with a smugness in his voice,.he open a room,it was a library,. as he open the door he grab me by my arms, closes the door and pinned me against it.,

" seriously what is it in a door or a wall and me being pinned on it, you are really getting used to it" I rolled my eyes.

" I thought you're enjoying the attention?., first never bite your lips infront of anybody, second never roll you're eyes to me,"..he was now leaning at me, I can smell his cologne, his lips in my ears sending a thousand volts,.his breath was ragged.

" what are you talking about?"

" is this your way of winning me,Jasmine?,.seducing me, huh?..tell me, because you perfectly doing a good job" from that he crashes his lips to mine, biting my lower lips slowly, it was punishing, but promising that there is very much more than this kiss..he presses his body against mine, his hands molding my body like an artist to his sculpture, he seek to envade my open mouth by his tongue, and thats when the fire exploded,.

" mmm " I moan in surrender, it was heaven, my very 2nd kiss.,and then he stop..he was breathing so hard,.I was breathing hard too, face flushed with so much undenying passion.

" you like it? " that caught me, yes indeed he was just punishing me, his eyes now were cold as ice, gone was the fire on it.

" I hate you ", I was humiliated, and being played with,.I wanted so much to cry but I wont give him that satisfaction." for a player you're kiss was the worst "...I push him hard that he stumble a bit.,.." I've been kissed before, but our kiss now was the most lousy one"..his jaw tightened..I open the door and run my way to my room.
