7 Chapter six Inside the room - part 1

"Look at me" Dami commanded making Mayo flinch. Her legs immediately gave in at the sudden outburst. She fell lightly on the ground making Dami chuckle. She didn't understand what was funny but she tried to smile.

"Sorry pretty, did I scare you?" he stared unblinkingly at her. This little action from her made him smile. She really is cute.

Mayo managed to stand up and look at him.

"Don't worry, I won't bite. I don't bite beautiful girls" Mayo wanted to look down again. She didn't want him to notice her blush.

"No no, don't look down. I want you to look at me. I want to see your beautiful face or don't you want me to at least admire the girl in my view?" he asked still smiling at her cuteness.

Mayo looked at him. She tried to keep a straight face but couldn't. She couldn't help but blush uncontrollably. The very guy she had been dreaming of for eight years was finally in her front, telling her that she looked beautiful, something she hardly heard from people. She felt lucky and thankful. For once, she felt special.

Though her heart was beating fast, almost about to jump out, she was happy. Her legs were shaking, water was filling her palms, she found it hard to breathe. She hoped he won't ask her to say any thing in fear of speaking gibberish. She knew she was going to stutter and she didn't want to sound like a dumb person in front of him. Mayo, calm down, calm down, you can do this, no need to be sacred. You are soon going to be his wife, HIS FIRST WIFE MY GOD! she muttered to her self.

Why is he not saying anything? Mayo asked as Dami continued to look at her moving his eyes from her top to down. God, I feel uncomfortable. He should stop looking at me like that. I feel he is going to eat me soon. She tried to adjust herself by drawing her skirt-like attire down while drawing the tube-like attire up subtly so that he wouldn't get the wrong impression. Dami smiled at this action knowing the reason why.

He adjusted himself on the bed a little and finally let out something "What is your name?" he asked tilting his head to the side as if wanting to look at her back.

Oh God I knew I was going to say something. Oh God, help me. I love this but I feel like running away. Denle, come and help me. I am losing consciousness.

"M..ma..mayo" She stuttered

"Mayo as in mayowa" he completed

"Ye..yes my Prince" she knelt a little to demonstrate respect.

"What a beautiful name. That is the name I was thinking of naming my daughter" he smiled.

Mayo looked at him with a shocked expression "Honestly, I am not joking" he assured

"Thank you my Prince" she knelt again.

"Oh stop this My Prince thing. You are my woman now. When we are in public, you can go with the tradition but when we are alone call me Damilola but I wouldn't mind if you address me as Damilola in public. So say it, call me Damilola"

She looked at him blushing. She tried getting her eyes away from him but couldn't. Awww! He is so kind and sweet. Just what I wanted.

"Dami...Damilola" she blushed

"Your voice is amazing. Never have my name felt that good in some one's mouth" he said making her blush again.

"Ok, Mayowa" he sighed hardly running his hand through his hair "come and sit on my lap"

WHAT?!

Mayo exclaimed internally. I should sit on his lap. This is getting tougher than I expected. I thought he would just tell me that I am his wife and send me back home.

In Osu, once the prince picks his wife. He won't be able to touch or kiss her until the consummation night so she expected that. He is to refrain until all the tradition is ended. And trust me, the traditions take long. That is why most princes get a woman to sleep with all through that time. I hope I am not the other woman.

Mayo didn't know what to do. She felt like telling him NO that she would prefer to stand if that is what he is worried about. Why will he tell her to sit on his lap? They are just getting to know each other right? Her mind started deviating to carnal thoughts but she brushed away. He couldn't possibly be asking...no no. This is the day of the parade and he called me here to be his wife. He was a bit shy to say it in the open that is why? She encouraged herself.

Oh God, please let it not be what I think. I am not ready. Should I tell him NO? But he is the prince. I can't refuse. Can I? I hope. This is too weird. I have not sat on a guy's lap before. How will it be? What if my weight is too big for him but no, I am not that weighty or am I? But he doesn't look like a guy that can't hold me. Look at the way he is looking at me. He is so handsome. My childhood love.

"Are you going to keep staring or will you come? Don't be shy. It will feel great" Dami encouraged sensing her worry.

Mayo could do nothing. She didn't want to make him angry. On another note, she also didn't want to do what he wanted and refusing will surely get on his nerves.

She carried her legs which felt heavy all of a sudden. Her legs felt like giving in but didnt. She wished her legs could give in but that won't stop anything. In fact, he will come to her and help her up making it worse.

There is no way out of this!

To make it easier for her, she kept her head down. Dami didn't complain. He knew she was new to this and he loved it. The new ones are always the best, so pure.

She got to where he was sitting, avoiding his gaze. She adjusted herself to sit on him lightly. She didn't want him to find her heavy. Her heart kept thudding. She hoped not to pass out and somewhere she hoped to.

"Calm down. Your weight is considerable" he said sensing her reason for sitting lightly. "Breathe" with that, Mayo sat comfortably with all her weight on one of his laps as his legs parted for her to sit on his left lap.

It didn't feel so bad like she expected. It actually felt good. But she hoped for it to stop here. She didn't want them going further even though her mind told her otherwise.

"So would you like anything to drink?" Dami asked examining the specimen on his lap. This was not the first time a girl will be sitting on his lap but for some reason, this one felt different. Like an angel, a goddess. He wanted to examine her very well.

Drink? Now? Why didn't you ask when I was standing? Mayo knew he was just teasing her. "No. I am okay. Thank you my prince..I mean Damilola" she shook her head.

That voice, so beautiful when she calls my name.

"Ok, Mayowa? Do you like me?"

Of course I do. I don't like you. I love you since I was nine. You are a treasure to me.

"Yes I do" Mayo replied looking at her lap. She couldn't look at him not when she was sitting on him..She feared she would pass out but won't that be better? At least she would escape all these torture.

Dami smiled in expectance. He trailed his fingers down her arm and kissed it while looking at her face to see her reaction. Mayo flinched a little. Uh oh, this is definitely going there. Oh God!

"Since when?" he asked. He kissed her again, this time on her neck. Mayo felt like collapsing. He was torturing her sweetly something she loved but didn't want now. She wanted it on her wedding night. "Breathe Mayowa. I won't bite you" Mayo knowing there was no way out of this took a deep breath. She could only hope he would stop. "Now look at me. I feel like I am ugly with the way you keep looking down" he said. Mayo looked at him immediately. She didn't want him to think that he looked ugly when he looked an angel to her. Dami of course knew her reason for avoiding his gaze but he loved teasing her. She looked so "teasable".

" No Damilola. You don't look ugly. I am sorry" she said making him smile.

"I know. So tell me since when?" he asked again.

Mayo took a deep breathe trying to comport herself not to stammer "since eight years ago" she replied. Dami took his head back a little. He wasn't expecting that.

"Eight years ago? Where did you see me?" he asked curiously still teasing her with his fingers sliding down her arm to her lap.

Mayo tried to avoid the feeling he was melting out on her with his fingers stirring her. Why is he making it harder for her to speak.

" I saw you at your mother's burial" she replied still looking at him

"Hmm and you liked me instantly?" he kissed her cheek.

I am surely going to die. How am I still holding on?

"yes"

Dami was enjoying this. She was more than he expected. This will make it a lot easier. He thought.

"So Mayowa, I am guessing you must have been dreaming about me all these time. What did you dream?

This is a lot harder than I thought. His question are worse than his fingers on my body. I wish he could stop.

" I dre...dreamt of us having a family and living peacefully with our kids" she replied briefly trying to keep it together.

"Hmm but we might look into that later. Now we have something else on our plate"

Please, I hope it is not that thing on our plate. If it is,please change it. I beg you.

Mayo nodded despite being a little confused.

" Mayowa, you know you are lucky?"

Hearing this Mayowa felt proud and she couldn't help but say "Yes I am. I am happy that you chose me as your wife and I promise to love and cherish you always" she said

Dami pulled his lips to one side "Now now, let's not rush things. You are saying your vows already"

Mayo nodded knowing she took it a little bit too far but she couldn't help it. She had been wanting to say it to him since she fell in love with him.

"Mayowa, you know I am going to marry other women because of power and other things. Would you mind sharing me?" he asked teasingly.

Mayo frowned at this which he loved. Possessive, he loved it.

"I don't have a choice" she looked away from him

"No, no, I want to hear your answer"

Mayo felt tight. Of course she would mind sharing him but then again, he was the prince and she had no power which she was sure he knew.

While she was rummaging on what to say, she felt her chest area tighten making her eyes go wide.

Oh no, we are going there. She wasn't expecting that. She sure wasn't.

While she was still trying to come to terms on what just happened. She heard him say,

"Mayowa, kiss me"
