The loud music banged through the speakers as curves of sexy women in short skirts moved with the beat. Their partners moved along too, their hands holding their partners waists as the women held onto their men's shoulders. The DJ had switched from banging house and pop music to sweet melodies with love tunes. At this time of the hour, only those with partners remained on the dance floor.
Jake had finally summoned the courage to hold Dohana's waist as they danced, eyes locked on each other. They smiled each time they made eye contact. Sweat trickled down Jake's forehead as his heart pumped erratically.
Dohana blushed as she leaned on Jake's chest, before she twisted and felt his hand grab on hers tight. She could feel her hand slipping away with sw
As the sun's rays shone through the window, alerting Jake as his surroundings brightened. He opened his eyes casually and immediately noticed the possibilities that he had awoken at a strange place not of his own. Jake had never liked waking up at any place that was not his and especially despised being awoken by brightness of the rising sun. He preferred the alarm, which always gave him the option to go back to sleep. And the pounding headache didn't help matters at all.With his sight still blury, Jake squinted and his eyes landed on the lady who yawned and kicked the blankets as she flipped over to face towards Jake.'Beautiful, she was just simply gorgeous.' Jake thought as he rubbed his eyes to take a better look. 'Last night wasn't a dream at all,
When the Queen Mother finally invited Dohana to dinner, Dohana couldn't wait but asked her a bombardment of questions as she sat on the huge royal table. The other members of the royal family all looked on in disbelief as some of them began to dish up."Mother, what have you done with Jake? Where have you hidden him? Please let him be," said Dohana, pleading."Why should I do that Princess? That worthless man disflowered the princess of the Kingdom. Do you know how tragic that is? Should the world know about this, we shall be humiliated beyond measure," the Queen Mother said as she dished up herself from the baffet on the table."Mother, you can't do this to Jake. He's my boy...my
It was the following àfternoon and the Kingdom was littered with its people. Some had travelled long distances to come and behold today's activities. The Queen Mother had hinted that there would be a huge announcement about the Princess' future today. Additionally, it would be the day when commoner would be executed for an abomination against the kingdom.The royal family arrived at the Royal court on horse back accompanied by heavily armed guards. The elders, political figures and affluent people of the Kingdom had already arrived and were seated well before time.The beating of cultural drums could be heard as a choir sang to welcome the Royal family. The citizens of the kingdom didn't have the luxury to sit, they stood in the blazing sun in thei
Jake's mind raced, what was happening? Was he dreaming? He glanced around the room and sure enough, Dohana was sound asleep next to Jake. Her beautiful dress lay on the ground. Jake remembered how they had rushed in unable to keep their hands off each other before undressing one another.He smiled but quickly remembered the dream and frowned.'What could that dream mean? She was a princess and…they tried to kill me because of her. This girl is going to be the end of me. She will will get me killed won't she?'Jake jumped out of bed and quickly put on his clothes while carefully watching that Dohana doesn't wake up to see him.
Dohana's face flushed as she stood there and watched the phone ring. She was overwhelmed by emotions of exhilaration and nervousness simultaneously."Dohana, come on, answer it!" Mariot urged.Daisy frowned as she stepped closer and read the caller ID. "Answer the phone before your prince charming drops at the other end."After taking a deep breath, Dohana reached out and picked up the call."Hello," said Jake after noticing the silence from the other end. "Dohana, is that you?""Jake, hi," Dohana managed to say.
The dinner table was decorated with red roses, peals and red rubies stones. It was the most romantic setting Jake had ever prepared himself. He had thought about it emmensely, he would have his date with the gorgeous Dohana right at his home.Jake smiled as he monitored his handy work. He had awaken early in the morning to start preparing for his date. Smiling from ear to ear, he was pleased with what he saw.When he thought of his gorgeous date, he could only grin wider. He felt really lucky to have such a woman coming over for a date with him. He wondered if she would look as majestic as she was the night he met her.As minutes passed by, Jake became even more nervous. He h
"Dad, Mum, what are you talking about?" Jake asked, he had impulsively stood up as he stared at them.A young lady rushed towards Jake while tapping her phone and showed the screen to Jake.Frowning, Jake shuddered as he stared at the screen. Beautiful and clear pictures of Jake and Dohana at the table having drinks, at the dance floor, while they running up the stairs to the top deck of the yacht, then a picture of them half naked swimming at the pool and drinking alcohol. Lastly, there were pictures of them cuddling and kissing by the pool side."What? How?" Jake was baffled. He glanced back at his father, who was seething with rage.
Dohana laid on her bed face first, tears strolled down her cheeks. Jake had openly rejected her. Her prince charming had rejected her infront of his parents. Dohana was completely devastated. She asked herself so many questions.'Where did it all go wrong? I thought Jake and I were getting along fine, so how did he suddenly hate me? Wasn't he supposed to love me forever? He took my virginity, shouldn't he be forced to marry me then? What should I do?'There was a faint knock on the door, which Dohana completely ignored as she continued to sob. However, she heard light footsteps walking in- it was Daisy and Mariot. They stood by the door without saying a word. They understood Dohana had a bad night.
