Listening to the purring of predator as I dip my hand in the cold water and run it over her head rubbing behind her ears i let my legs swing in the water.

For the past two and a half weeks i had been accompanied by N'jadakas leopards as his own little "security detail" when he found out Naveen had got me alone by the pool. Even though Naveen didn't do anything to hurt me or even get close N'jadaka didn't trust him. If i wasn't mad at the prince or wasn't rushing to get away from him id admitt i didn't trust him either.

In fact three weeks ago, the day after I walked away from both him and his cousin, he thought everything would be ok.

"Hey sweetness" he grins plopping down on the couch next to me kissing the side of my head which i quickly wipe. I dont fail to notice the way he pouts that i did it either but I was still upset.

"Is this about yesterday?" He asked giving me space as I scroll through the tablet and he huffs when i don't even face him. What else would it be about?

"Wait sekai it wasn't what it sounded like!" He tries but I roll my eyes not wanting to hear it turning to face him.

"It doesn't matter N'jadaka! You took away my option to make a decision for myself. You didn't even tell me about the conversation! I actually allowed myself to have feelings for you and then you just...fucked it up. I dont want to talk about this anymore leave me alone." I quickly say not liking how he could just look at me and i would tell him everything that was on my mind.

"No no no don't shut down on me i thought we were open with each other" he tries pulling my face towards him to get my attention but instead I just slap his hand off as hard as possible.

"Yeah i thought so too. I need space" i breathe standing up trying to walk away but he holds me verbally hostage.

"So that's it? You just tell me you have feelings for me and walk away. That aint—" he stops and sighs when he notices the annoyance on my face. "it's always about what you want Sekai...you know that. And im trying to respect that you want to be left alone but you can't just say that and leave" he scrambles for the right words conflict on his face as apparent as anger usually is.

"You, naveen, T'challa can all leave me alone i was fine before all three of you" I hiss at him watching as his face turns to anger and i realize i shouldn't have told him about Naveen.

"The fuck you mean Naveen? That nigga was around you?" He ask his demeanor changing from soft and understanding to angered in a matter of seconds.

"...yes" I answer lamely...i couldn't lie to the prince no matter how angry I was. He didn't like it and neither did I.

"Were you alone with him?" He questions his hands balled into fists the vein in his jaw popping out due to him clenching it.

"No...not in the way that you think he didn't—" I stumble over my own words trying to say it in a way that didn't sound harsh before blurting out exactly what happened. He looks over at me calmly keeping eye contact but there's no anger in it at all.

"I don't trust him, he doesn't seem like the type to just apologize or talk bad about himself. I'll handle it" he tells me and I send him a nod walking off. There wasn't anything to handle but the conversation was already longer than needed and if he would have sat any closer to me the smell of his cologne would have torn apart my anger and made me forgive him.

The next day his leopards had been following me everywhere and Naveen had a black eye.

Preyy comes closer to me standing directly over my shoulder signifying somebody was close but the way his ear twitches i know it's only his owner.
