Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

15: " Almost "

AHHCHOO!

The third sneeze in a minute came from Khai. Kiya slowly got up and rubbed her eyes.

"What is wrong? "She asked him

"Nothing."

"Do you expect me to believe that? "

"Yes. "

"You sound sick. "

"I do not get sick. "

"False because you are sick right now. "

"Well as I said, I do not get sick. "

"You are. Is it because of the water? It is because of the water,"Kiya facepalmed.

"Why are behaving like that when I told you that I am not sick?"

"You are so stubborn,"Kiya sighed as she shook her head.

"I just need to say for the last time that I do not get sick."

Kiya turned to him before getting off the bed.

"Where are you going now?" Khai asked frustrated.

"I am not going to sit here and listen to you trying to play brave when you know that you are sick because of something I caused."

Kiya stepped out of the room and went into the kitchen.

Kiya's P. O. V

I rummaged around trying to find it. My grandma mother always gave it to me when I could catch a cold and I would feel so much better.

There it is !

Cinnamon. This was a highly flavorful spice and is considered of great  value in ancient Egypt. The antibacterial and natural warming properties helps in treating a sore throat, colds and coughs. A nice warm cup of cinnamon tea  can heel throat irritation, itching and can prevent the approach of an impending cold effectively. It is a natural cure for bloating and gas, arthritis and reduces symptoms of PMS. The best way to use cinnamon for treating colds and sore throat is to mix on tablespoon of honey with half a tablespoon of freshly grounded cinnamon.

"My Queen, is there something that I can help you with? "Aa asked me.

"No but thank you. I can do this by myself. If I need any help I will call, "I replied.

"Nice and warm,"I said as I reentered the room .
Khai sat up and folded his arms.

"What is this? I thought I made it clear that I am not sick."

"Just please take this . It will make you feel better,"I  pleased with him.

"No thank you."

"You said you would do anything for me. I am not asking for much, I just ask that you drink this so you can feel better before it gets cold."

He looked away .I knew I got to him. He unfolded his arms and stretched his hand out to me.

"Thank you,"I said as he took the cup.

I crawled back into bed and watched him as he slowly sipped the hot tea.

"It is not poison,"I reminded him
he smiled as he struggled to keep a straight face.

"You are so persistent,just like my mother."

"It is good to know. She sounds like a great person."

"She was. I always told her that I would find someone just like her and she would smile at me and say promise me you will every time I told her."

"Do you think she would be disappointed?"I asked.

"Never."

A light blush came across my cheeks. "Good to know."

"See,all gone!" He turned the cup upside down .

"Great,you even look better already."

"All thanks to you,"he smiled.

"See ,that is the reason why you should listen me."

I was getting close to him. I was still stubborn on accepting what he so desperately wanted me to take. His pull was so strong and some times no matter how hard I may try,I just cannot resist him. Never have I ever felt this way and it was hard to deal with. He made my mind blank and made my heart flutter when he speaks his sugar coated words in my ear. The feeling that it gives me just sent shivers down my whole body . With him be like that, I have no idea how I keep my sanity around him.

"Hello?"

"Huh?"

"Is some thing wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking."

"Mhmm, looked like some deep thinking."

"Not really, I am just easily lost in thought. I does not have to be deep thinking,"I tried to dismiss the topic.

"If you say so."

"So...felling better than before?"I asked.

"Yes. "

"I thought you did not get sick,"I teased.

"I do not but, I just feel more relaxed."

"I know you are lying because you do not want to admit it. There is something you need to learn."

"What would that be?"he came closer,his face just inches away from mine.

"You can not be strong all the time, some times someone has to help you and be strong for you." I tired to keep my composure . I was struggling so much.

"You seem tense. "

"Tense? No I am fine."

"Really? Are you saying that this is not uncomfortable for you?" He asked as he moved in closer.

"I am not ...uncomfortable," I manage to say.

"So you are fine with it?"
 
I was dying. He cup the sides of my face and my cheeks fired up in an instant. How is he doing this? I could feel his warm breath fanning my face. He moved in closer,slowly moving one hand from my face and wrapped it below my waist. My heart felt like it was going to beat right out of my chest. He rested his forehead on mine and his lips were millimetres away from mine and had the intention of going closer. His lip brush against mine...

"I cannot,"I said as I turned my head away breathing heavily.

He pressed his warm cheek on mine as he whispered in my ear. "I know . I just needed to say thank you."

Before I could respond I was caught off guard with a kiss an the cheek.

He released me before laying down with his back turned to me. My brain was having a hard time figuring out what just happened. I placed my hand on that side of my face. He just kissed me.
