The Emperor was sleeping when he felt someone's presence and this made him open his eyes, but when he did and saw Kleila sitting on his bed, he thought he was dreaming.
"Kleila." He mused although he wanted to call her name out loud.
In as much as this is a dream to him, he still doesn't want the beautiful Kleila to disappear ..real or not.
He began to look at her attire, the tiny clothes that barely covers her breast and the one wrapped around her waist, showing off her legs. He had the urge to cover her up but then again, he didn't want to risk her disappearing.
"You know it's rude to stare at one 's body like you're doing and still doing now."
She's more beautiful, he realized as his eyes roamed around her face noticing a round darker grey eyes and a natural full pink lips and then he remembered she said something.
"Not when the supposed "body" is doing the same". He replied her which got her mouth slightly open, he guessed out of unbelievability at his comeback.
"You're so damned!" she said, surprising the Emperor by using the word damned and the tune which she used to say it.
"What did you mean when you said that I'm so damned?" The Emperor asked and yet again, she surprised him when she didn't answer his question but instead it got him one eye rolled up.
The Emperor stared at her unbelievably and smiled as he sat up and turned her towards him. "Explain".
"You were staring at my body;' She answered and then shrug '..not that it's a new thing ".
"And?" The Emperor pressed, pretending not to understand anything that comes out of her mouth.
"So, you're so damned."
"Alright. " The Emperor almost gave up but decided to tease her. He turned to her, looking her directly in the eyes searchingly and at the same time memorizing them.
"Kleila ..I mean Nena, I don't understand you and first of all your body was staring at me even before I opened my eyes and that's the only reason I stared back, beside wasn't that the reason you chose to sit half naked on my bed ..to seduce me." The Emperor finished then backed away a little as he thought she was going to jump on me and beat him to pulp with the way she's staring at him but she surprised him by saying.
"You know I get it, dark men are horny, Xanva and Dele included so why won't white men be too ..example you?" She said staring right back at him.
"Anyways since my boss sent me here, I can give you direction to two houses of pleasure I know ..after work of course." She said rolling her eyes at her last sentence.
Immediately Kleila said this, the Emperor coughs and then asks. "What are you doing in my room and how did you get in?"
"Finally he asks! I thought you weren't going to. Anyways now that you did, you need to quit being lazy and get your lazy body off the bed. We have got work to do and you have eaten enough time already. I know boss won't query you, he'd think it's my fault for not waking you on time."
"Boss?" The Emperor asked knowing that there's a big misunderstanding somewhere but what now has his attention is the time.
If his intuitions are correct then this should be the hour of the Monkey, he won't even be surprise if it's still hour of the Pig ...so what he's supposed to be doing right now is sleeping.
"Isn't it too late?."
"The boss himself gave us time to work and time to close and even he is up, besides, the cock crowed a long while ago and my dear fellow, even if you're so handsome, you need to get up and work, otherwise you will starve.
Handsome or not, no one in this village wants a man with no money."Nena finished and then became confused when the Emperor began to laugh.
The Emperor laughs for a while and then he lays on his bed pretending to go back to sleep.
He wanted to know what this Kleila would do but he didn't expect her to do what she did.
After a while that he lay on his bed, he expected her to surprise him but she didn't and so he decided to go back to sleep but then the sudden quietness made him open one of his eyes suspiciously which happens to find a smirking Kleila hands wrap around his bed sheet and before he could open his eyes fully, she yank it ..making him fall to his buttocks and right after that, she started laughing.
As much as the Emperor wanted to act angry, he couldn't.
"What can I do when she laughs like that. She looks so cute and beautiful at the same time." He mused while looking at her defeatedly.
