we both struggled in the sea,I didn’t even know where to hold in order to get better.Finally,he managed to lift my weight above the sea and I got crazily scared.
“don’t leave me” I said as I finally opened my eyes.
“I won’t okay,just stay still” he said and paused to gasp for breath,
I got shocked-did I just hear Lotanna’s voice.
I slipped off from where he was holding me and fell back on him feeling so cold,my eyes landed on his neck where i mistakenly kissed;
was I high? am I okay?…
“sorry….
“sorry…..
I rushed words as I hastily withdraw.
He breathed out and looked at me, I look away so he won’t get a clear sight of my ugliness.
His eyes was now red,purely red…
he looked so cold but mine was the worst,I was shivering as i breath out ice smoke.
the water covered me,he rushed to lift my shoulders high and i watched him quietly as he drip of water,he too watched me without saying any words.
“I promise I won’t be a trouble girl anymore” I said.
he didn’t reply…no words.
I froze as he swam very close to me, he touched my shoulders and tried lifting me up,I looked up,everybody in the yacht were waiting and watching from the closest end.
I caught Akuna’s eyes,it was so scary and adorned with hell and deep hatred,I wonder what I did that pain her the most…
“you got so heavy,I can’t lift you from your shoulders” prince Lotanna said and moved his pretty hands away,one of his diamond ring fell..
“fuck! he muttered as the water covered us again.
he held me well and lifted me up from my waist,one of his hand slipped and trailed from my buttocks and traveled as far to in between my thighs where they get trapped..
“sorry” he rolled his eyeballs and mistakenly touched my hip.
I balanced well,he lift me up..
Nkem and the sailor took me.
I now look so sick,Mrs okafor came to me with a wrapper.
“Akuna you wouldn’t have done this to me if you know what it means to suffer in your life” I said in my mind.
I followed Mrs okafor.
“who will save the prince? I asked
“he is out already” she replied.
I turned back and saw him in the yacht already.
soooo fast…
“You didn’t have to jump in,don’t you know you have cold.Just an ordinary maid,Lotanna are you alright?
prince Jidenna said with horror..
“she was the one who fell” akuna added…
I bite into my lips, who are they even talking to?.
akuna walked away angrily.
Mrs Okafor took me to her place in the yacht,I stood patiently at the door shivering with cold,
Lotanna passed,
he moved his hair backwards and strained his eyes like he couldn’t see well…
his eyes was opened halfly as he trailed his room door stylishly, his room was just opposite Mrs okafor own. He entered and slam the door with force,I flinched from where I stood cos the sound was strong.
“why would you fall into the sea?
Mrs okafor asked as we entered her room.
“I did not…it was Akuna that pushed me” I replied.
she sighed and went to collect hot water.
I felt better after everything but I still get uncomfortable.
how can I get comfortable when the person that saved me have issues with cold conditions?.
Aaah,my life is so pathetic!.
“we are approaching there,Ife change your cloth” Mrs okafor said and dropped extra cloth for me.
“thanks ma’am” I replied and took the cloth.she went out and didn’t return until night.
Finally,she arrived carrying a modern stuff, I wish I knew what it was….
“what is that?” I asked,she dropped the stuff.
“flask for storing hot water” she said as she moved close to feel my pulse.
“you’re fine,why looking dull?”
she asked.
“the person that saved me,is he fine?” I asked.
Mrs okafor smiled.
“he is fine,just that he has allergies” she said.I got comfortable, at least he is fine.
I still have lots of questions to ask.
someone knocked at our door.
“ma’am… we are there,the yacht just stopped” I heard the sailors voice.
“okay” Mrs okafor replied,I hasten my dress,so simple and fit for the maid that I am,my hair wasn’t plait,it was let down to my back where it stopped.
“what is this party for?” I asked.
“Royal! the meaning is in it.A party where the royals, princes,princesses but importantly it is what they call the survival of the fittest, a party where the strongest defeat the weakest,a party where princes are tested,their is in an informat taking records…. this is where we know which prince is more braniac and smart…wisdom too” she explained.
“sounds interesting…so our princes are actually here to be tested,I wish them good luck” I said and followed Mrs okafor out of the yacht.
I now see the reason why ngozi always wants me to be here….I didn’t witness something interesting right from my childhood stage.
.
I smiled and made sure I didn’t loose track with her.We both moved out of the yacht to a dry land where we met crowd.
some canoes,even boats arrived.
only us used yacht.
One last long boat came and I spotted ngozi inside.I got happy.
crazy girl so she came,my happiness faded as I saw olamma my wicked step sister..
I turned back.
and I prayed we shouldn’t meet each other again- she’s worst that onome.
by the time I turned to face front again,Mrs okafor wasn’t with me.
I couldn’t even see well,
the crowd got much.
soon everywhere became quite,
I guess the princes where passing.
Prince Iyke
Prince Ameafule….
Prince Chidindu…
those are the rude princes history have.
people kept screaming and drooling.
I didn’t get myself until someone tapped me…it was Ngozi.
“you came” she said.
“sure” I replied,we hugged.
“what’s this party for” I still asked.
“Royal gathering,some people do not know each other not every princes grew in their respective kingdom, some traveled,some went to the state, this is an opportunity for them to know and see each other” she replied.
“okay” I smiled.
my eyes caught Akuna and olamma,
best friends with the best best bad attitudes.
Awwwwwwwww
what kingdom is he from????
they are twins…so sweet .
solo ethereal,did you see their skin glittering, I imagine what staying with either of them might cause”
I heard things.
I had to jump,
what I saw made me stunned.
maids were visibly drooling!
many stretched their hands to touch.
who among them is the crowned prince???
chaiiii,those sexy abs.
I heard murmurs.
“am coming” ngozi said and hurried to meet one of her old friend, I got carried away by the fun.
I did not know olamma was beside me…
“hi” she waved as she flaunts her beautiful body with so much elegance.
“our eyes met again” I said.
“yeah and you’re still ugly,in one level” she said.
“it is no one business what level I am in my life,have got other important things to do” I replied her.
“you’re a maid maid…ordinary maid while I am swimming in money,
well mother sent me to you-
Adeife you shall never sing for you are hopeless and believeless”
she said.
I blinked tears as my lashed bashed, I remembered many things…
I don’t even have a mother,
I lack every good thing every maidens dream of,
I lack self esteem,
I suffer from many things…
I wiped my tears as Akuna approached us with other princesses, her friends from far and near.
“Aku,is this the maid you said Lotanna saved?” Princess Xara said.
“he can’t even look at her for long without throwing up” olamma said.
“she has nice hair” Vivian said and touch my hair.
“nice hair but it is contaminated” akuna said….
And they all laughed.
“he couldn’t even look into her face for long,I was scared they are an item” Akuna said,
olamma laughed.
“seeing who,gossssh Akuna what are you saying? Lotanna and Jidenna came from the states for crying out loud, a lot of girls wants them, they have best tastes so why will he fall for this tramp, you overreacted for nothing dear princess” Xara said.
she is also a rude princess who is fond of rejecting suitors.
Vivian coughed.
“what are you saying my friends? in a relationship what do you think men are after is it face or curve? hmmm Akuna as a better person,I will advise you to eliminate this maiden fast because if money should touch her, I repeat if money should touch Ife, she will just steal your glory and beside who doesn’t like good thing,”
Princess Shadia said.
“yuck,her ugliness is from birth, she is my step sister” olamma said, they all laughed.
“how will he get comfortable with her…she is so classless” Princess Xara said.
“we have better things to do” Akuna said,her friends followed her.
I just couldn’t say anything, what where they even saying… putting me and Lotanna together,
are they crazy???
we are two different worlds,
two different lifes..
Ngozi came not quiet long,I cheered up…
“Adeife I went to get that substance, this one will make you beautiful for three hours,the party is ending three hours~~
come let me use it on you” she said.
“waaaaaaaaattttt!!!!!
I exclaimed as I covered my mouth.
“Today is your birthday,I bought this pretty dress for you” she said and showed me a stunning outfits.
“waaaaaaatttttttt!!
I exclaimed again.
