NATHI POV

"curiosity will kill you princess" he proclaimed. It's been a week and he is still like this

There he  goes again with his ominous one liner warnings. I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from rolling my eyes. 

"You know my coronation  is tomorrow" I changed the subject and I received a head shake from him

"In my culture we have a certain way of dancing...I would like to teach you a few steps so you avoid embarrassment" I started to twirl around him. He gave me a look

"before you decline ,it's an order not a request" I cheekily responded before he could do anything. I started to demonstrate to him to give him an idea  of what a traditional AmaNwetungi dance looks like. Slow but precise steps, the aim was not to sweat and make it look effortless

I stole a few looks to see his reaction in between the dance. I felt urge to impress him so I pushed myself harder than usual. I could see the sparkle in those eyes and a ghost smile. I felt myself grinning as I feel his stares of admiration on my back. I ended my dance by bending my back backwards and sliding back to the floor. I then kicked my legs in the air before rolling myself to the left and then final I threw myself in the air while still on my knees before falling with grace onto the floor.

I got up and brushed myself. I strut towards him and placed my hands on my hips when I reached. I had to look up to his towering figure. "Impressed?" I asked .He smirked and nodded in response, he then lowered his head and whispered "now let me show you how we do back home" then the next thing I knew ,I was seeing dust.

He was fast, he grabbed a stick laying on the ground and started whacking it in the air while taking fast vicious stomps. It was as though he was fighting an imaginary enemy but with style. I had no idea that fighting could be used as a form of dancing, I couldn't help but awe. I jumped in and started dancing my way and he in his. 

It was odd and a satisfying mix of two different worlds. He was striking me with his stick and I was dodging him with my light feet . I felt alive and in my youth again. It reminded me of the first time I had danced with my first crush, the same familiar emotions were evoked. I moon over him falling for the force that pulls me to him. He was a dark unknown mystery that I wanted to uncover. This man wasn't wasteful with his words and even though he spoke rarely I could always  know what he was thinking with his eyes. Oh his eyes were his weakness because they told everything and I loved exploiting them. Being this close to him only worsened my need to know who he is. I felt this physical attraction but I wanted to know if it was worth venturing in to ,to turn it into something genuine. At the end of the end we haven't known each other for long.

I then grabbed his stick and he launched me over his shoulder. I let go of the stick  and slid myself in between the space of his legs. I push him but he takes me down with him. He lands with a thump but I okay as his body cushioned my fall. 

We both breath heavily  and are still holding on to each other. I looked into his eyes and they told me that the was a wall breaking, a wall he has kept ever since he got here. I felt his strong hand brush up against my thigh, I leaned in closer, moving his loc away from his face to get a better look of him. 

"you don't know what you doing" he struggled to speak in between his breaths

"you don't either but dose that not make it more comforting that we are both naive?" I smirk

"why must you always play with my words" he sighed heavily but it wasn't a bad sigh

"because I don't get them often from you so I savor the ones I get" I was leaning in close...to close. He didn't reply

"and once again I get don't get any now" I replied to his silence. I felt his fingers tracing my back and his action sent a tingling feeling straight down my spine. He threw his head back and gulped, I found it  satisfying watching his Adam's apple bounce up and down like that. His eyes closed and I saw his veins bulging and his breathing get harder'. 

Before anything else could happen ,there were footsteps charging in our direction. Panic spread through me but Senza acted quickly by grabbing me and rolling us into a bush. It was a pair of of my father's soldiers, they must be searching for me. 

They start looking around and then finally they left. We both breathed out our tension .Once everything calmed down I started feeling my heart race again. He was towering over me from behind, his muscular arms wrapped around my stomach, I could hardly breath. 

"I-I-I should find out why my dad sent soldiers for me" I final managed to find my words and we both we triggered to quickly get up and leave in separate directions.
