Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

27: " You And I "

"Are you coming to eat?"

"Not now. You can eat without me, I need to finish this. "

" Understood." Kiya went to the dining hall by herself and sat around the empty table. She stared at the food as it was getting cold. She sighed and shared out a big serving on her plate before she took it and got up from the table.

"I know you are there Kiya. You can come in if you like."

Kiya dragged her feet as she entered the room and sat beside Khai.

"I do not like eating by myself," Kiya said softly.

"I am sorry, I did not know, "Khai apologized.

" No need to apologize. I also came in here to tease you with my food, " Kiya smiled at him.

" So that is reason why you have so much. You could never eat so much food. "

" Do not underestimate me. I can eat it all if I want to. I eat a lot but I really do not know where it goes."

"I think I have an idea, "Khai said giving a sharp glance at Kiya's chest.

" Really... How very immature. "

" I just say what I see my love," he winked at Kiya.

"So can you not just stop for a while to something? "

" I would like to but the work is just too much for that today. "

" Do both then, "Kiya suggested." I will feed you. I promise not to make a mess. Please? "

" Feed... Me? Why? "

" Yes, why not? "

" If you want to. "

" Ahhh, "Kiya took up a spoonful of her food.

" Than-"Khai was cut off.

"Your mouth is full, " Khai said as she slapped her hand over Khai's mouth. "Shh! "

" All done. Happy now? "

" Of course, "Kiya smiled.

" When are you going to eat?"

"I will eat after you. I am not doing any work at the moment... And what did I tell about speaking when your mouth is full! "

" Sor-"

"Shhh! " Kiya slapped her hand over Khai's mouth for the second time.

" Could you not do that?" Khai said with muffled words as he tried to remove Kiya's hand.

"Then you need to be quiet when eating. I know I am important but I still be here when you finish eating then you can talk to me all you want."

"You take the rest."

"Sure?"

"Yes, you have it."

"That is why you are tired. You barely ate a thing."

"I completely detest working and eating, but I can tolerate it if you feed me even if it is by force."

"I guess I am just that special."

"You do not need to guess for that."

Kiya shoot a small smile before digging into her meal occasionally glancing at Khai and his work between spoons.

"I cannot focus if you are stealing glances at me."

"What are you speaking about,"Kiya almost choked.
" This is what hunger does to a person."
