The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 6

SASA'S POV_

Registration day was tiring but I managed to complete it. I got a room finally and I could move in. It was Tuesday and dad was going home.

Me: "You know you can stay a few more days right?"

Xolani: "I wish I could my child. The animals need me at home. You know your mother's patience runs thin." I sighed.

Me: "I'm going to miss you."

Xolani: "I'll miss you too. I can't wait to see you in the holidays. Please focus on school Sasa. I'm counting on you."

Me: "I will tata. I promise."

Xolani: "Let me get going. I'll reach home before bedtime."

Me: "Okay then. Drive safely tata." I hugged him. He got in his bakkie and drove off. I went into my room to start unpacking my clothes while I texted Zimmy. I haven't told her about the Prince contacting me. Soon my new roommate arrived.

Me: "Hello." I smiled. She brought in her suitcases.

She: "Hi, I'm Amahle."

Me: "I'm Thembisa." My phone buzzed as it did when receiving a message I read: "I hope you had a good day."

Ama: "So...what are you studying?"

Me: "LLB. You?"

Ama: "B Com Accounting." My phone buzzed again. "Have you considered my dinner proposal?" I don't know. Did I trust him enough to go have dinner with him? I typed back: "Yes. Where?" I sent it. He called.

Me: "Hello."

Him: "How was your day?"

Me: "Tiring. How was yours?"

Him: "What time can I pick you up?" Is he not going to respond to me?

Me: "Uhm. At 6 I suppose."

Him: "I'm looking forward to seeing you."

Me: "Are you?"

Him: "Yes. I'll let you know when I'm on my way."

Me: "Okay. Bye then." I hung up.

Ama: "Boyfriend?"

Me: "Uhm, no. Just a ...I don't even know what to call him. Maybe an acquaintance."

Ama: "Hmm." ... Should I tell Zimmy? I know she will obviously freak out. Maybe I needed to understand what this man wants first before I told my best friend.

PRINCE'S POV_

I stood in front of the mirror while the tailor made adjustments and wrote down the measurements.

"So... Did she agree to go out to dinner?" My advisor asks.

Prince: "Yes. I'll need you to prep me for conversation."

Mthunzi: "There's that. When is the dinner?"

Prince: "Picking her up at 6."

Mthunzi: "That's 2 hours away. The city is an hour drive away, that only gives me an hour."

Prince: "Stating the obvious will only waste more time."

Mthunzi: "If you want this girl to accept you, you need to be a little softer and more kind. Let's start there." I turned to look at him.

Prince: "I am the future King. I am not soft, nor am I kind. Inviting her to dinner is as polite as it gets."

Mthunzi: "Interesting take. Very interesting but you do understand that you can't force her to like you? What are we doing here Nkosinhle? You said you wanted a wife. You identified one you could like, finally, after years of searching, now you want to chase her away?"
