Decisions Made(A prince of persia story)

Chapter 6

As weeks faded into a month, Dastan and Tamina have surprisingly grown accustomed to each other. Tamina wondered why her heart was so willing to be with Dastan. She has never had any friends and looking back, every single conversation she has had in her life was one of a sovereign to her subjects. Tamina can remember how she used to envy her handmaidens and their friendships with each other. They gossiped, laughed, shared their sorrow and discussed nonsense. It was not like she can sit with her councilors and talk about how Fazeela the kitchen help is carrying on with the fruit seller Othman, whoever they were.

With Dastan, she was beginning to find a friend and this lead to endless conversations which even started to surprise Dastan. Being as he is, he continued without highlighting it, worried that she may retract to her old self. That did not mean Dastan forego any opportunity to tease and annoy her. Some of his antics were atrocious. One such night, they were talking until late about how one of the guards were caught being very bad with one of the maids as their pleasure was vocalised. Tamina looked at her hands and smiled.

"What?" he asked with his curiosity aroused.

"Nothing."

Dastan smiled and shook his head, "when women say 'nothing' it is always something, Princess! Now tell me, what brings a smile to that face?"

She looked at him and ran what she wanted to say over her mind. Who can she talk to about this topic anyway?

"Fine! I was just thinking, the guards must be thinking we are having the quietest bedding ever," Tamina said shyly and looked down.

"What do you mean?"

"Well normally I suppose there are noises made when...em...coupling," she turned looked at Dastan.

"Noises. Huh...and where did you hear about the noises?" Dastan asked.

"Well...I...er...I heard it...well I can hear when the maids are gossiping and they were talking about how one of them was making noises making the room vibrate while...while being engaged in the activity in question. So...there you go," she looked down embarrassed.

"You get your education from giddy girls?"

"No, I ask my councilmen about it! Of course I eavesdrop on those matters. It is not like I can walk out to anyone and ask questions on intimate details of husbands and wives," Tamina retorted. Dastan smiled at her innocence, "Well, they are not so much noises as much as...um...sounds of pleasure. Like moaning but in a good way, encouraging your partner on."

Tamina was turning a shade of pink for this topic and wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. "Whatever...well that is what I meant what I said when we are quiet in the room."

Dastan's eyes widened with an idea.

"Well I can change that for you, my Princess," he said.

"What do you mean?"

Without warning, Dastan suddenly stood on the bed and started to loudly narrate while jumping on the bed making the bed post hit the wall in rhythmic thuds.

"Oh Tamina! Oh my! Oh yes!"

"Dastan what are you doing? Stop it," Tamina said shocked.

"Oh you stop it Tamina!"

Dastan went at this for almost a minute while Tamina was in agony in trying to control him as she was sure that the guards heard his cries.

Suddenly, he went to repeating words 'yes' and finally with an exclamation he fell on to the bed. Tamina was so mad but his act also made her smile. She rested her hands on her hips and looked at him trying so hard not to laugh out loud. Dastan was rolling on the bed laughing at Tamina when she pointed to the door.
