The bath was very refreshing all her taut muscles that were tense from all the action from the dire situation started freeing and relaxing, that one could easily fall asleep in the bath, she didn't know if her father would have seen the news but she knows she needs to call him to let him know she is perfectly safe or he will be jetting out as soon as, even His Majesty her grandfather will not let father rest until they were sure she was fine so after washing her hair and taken a nice bath Ayanna got out dried her body and just after the bathroom was the walking in wardrobe and Prince Ade had already taken out some casuals for her to wear a polo and a three quarter cotton that he laid out, she didn't even bother as she wore exactly what he brought out for her to wear, she then blow dried her hair a bit and put it up in a bun before she stepped out of the bath.
On entering the bedroom she saw the Prince seated on the only three seaters in the room casually glancing at a business magazine, one could easily see his mind wasn't in the book, there were still worry lines on his face and his shoulders were still tensed. What was he still worried about? now Ayanna taught to herself, she was safely back home right? she didn't know when she said from where she was standing watching him, 'you need to relax, am fine now' thanks for the bath I feel like am finally back home.
Once he lifted his head and saw her, he was on his feet as he indicated that she should join him on the settee by patting on it, he was still in his black shirt and blue jeans looking so handsome as he stared up at her, her heart skipped their relationship has not really move along much but she knew the Prince cared for her a lot.
She gently walked to the setter still stealing a look at him as he sat on her settee, he looked so handsome and dangerous at the same time, he wasn't smiling but his eyes were watching her as she gently walked to the settee and sat down close to him but he turned and pulled her onto his laps startling her a bit, when she sat quietly not looking at his face, he used his right finger to turn her face to him, then he saw her beautiful eyes his heart warmed up then he asked her " how do you feel? did you get hurt anywhere"?
She shook her head mouthing a no, his body was so warm and it was warming her skin she felt very comfortable on his laps, she was happy that he worried about her too.
He was happy she was safe he could breath easy he would find a way to tell her not to pull that kind if stunt again, that risk she took for his sake was massive, what a stubborn woman, he carefully pulled her head towards him and gave her a kiss on her forehead then dropped her head on his shoulders, as he secured her by placing his right hand on the small of her back and using the left hand to circle her small waist and without thinking much about it he said please never risk your life like that again do you hear me, you are too important to me.
Ayanna raised her head from his shoulders and asked him 'if I were in the same shoe as you would you do the same for me'?
Yes I will! you know I will right? Prince Ade answered.
Then its settled, for you are my friend and I will always go the extra mile for my friends, let alone someone much more like you are to me, she finished.
The answer she gave warmed his heart, she just said he was much more than a friend right? he hugged her tightly and after a while when she raised her head and their eyes met, they were pulled by a force as old as time as their head grew closer to each other and their lips touched in a light kiss, at first its like they were just checking the feel of their mouth touching then she pulled his head closer and still holding her firmly the kiss deepened and soon he sucked on her lips as she gasps he expertly soothed it with his tongue then slide his tongue into the crevice of her mouth which brought a moan to mouth which made him heat up and he further deepened the kiss he only broke the kiss to allow them catch some needed oxygen.
You eat and get some rest I will come and get you by 8pm this evening for dinner and a surprise I have planned for you, will that be okay?
Wow! a surprise? Ayanna asked.
Yes a surprise and I hope you will like it, he responded.
Will it just be the two of us or will we be having company?
It will be the two of us, Prince Ade answered.
I will be ready, I will call my father to reassure him that am fine and then I will do as you have said eat and rest.
Good girl! now let's go before Mrs Ira Lutra come barging in here. They laughed as they held hands and left the room for the dining area.
Oh my girl! you look so refreshed now and clean come I have made all your favorites Turkey stew, white rice with veggies, pepper soup I didn't know which you would like so I made fish and goat meat pepper soup and some natural fruit drinks. Mrs Ira Lutra was excited to stuff her with food, see just let me know what you want to eat I will quickly arrange it you have lost so much weight.
Ma Ira! this is a feast and I will like to have a little of everything thank you so much! but first I want to call my dad before he comes here to make sure himself. She placed the call that was picked so fast it was obvious her father was trying her number, she could hear people asking if she was the one speaking, she explained everything to her dad and he was happy she was fine and that Hillary was with her.
Soon others came out to join them, only Ijey that was urgently called to meet with a client.
