Kapinga POV

Spectacular is the first word that comes to mind when I think back to how this day had been. My feet are aching from all the walking I had done today. My muscles have gone stiff in defiance but all in all, I still felt good inside. Thank goodness I manged to hold my ground with Kashala and got him to return me home because with all that proximity, I expected myself to lose my sense of reason. But I did not today. Besides, I needed a good night's rest, and it was well past my bedtime now. As you have assumed yes, today is Friday but in two hours it will be Saturday. No, I did not spend the whole day with Kashala but I did spend the better part of the day with him. But let me take you back to the beginning:

After my confession about liking the prince, I expected Kashala to laugh and think I was crazy or something thus easing the tension. However, he did something completely different. If I remember correctly, his reactions were in this particular order: Confusion, realisation and then happiness. What was even more shocking is the fact he went through all these emotions in under a minute! Before I even had a chance to ask him what was wrong with him, he kissed my forehead and rushed out my door bursting with joy.

The following day I decided that I was going to the Friday Night Market on my own. The last time I had gone there I did not get enough time to explore and see everything. The Market was indeed huge and had just about everything. Also this time around, I had done some research in what people traded in here and realised that it was not that difficult really.

You could trade in anything. So, say I wanted to buy three mangoes. If I farmed oranges, then I would give her some oranges in return. Or what most of the boys did was offer their services. They would offer to cut firewood for the owner etc. Now I, being a healing student, I could offer my services and get basically anything I want. So, now that I was well versed in trading, I decided that I was going to do a whole lot of shopping today. I also decided to go on my own because I wanted to do things on my own pace. Not to mention the girls all had male company and I did not want to be the only one without a partner.

However, my little expedition was altered once I existed the school premises. As soon as I had locked the door and turned around I bumped my head into a very hard surface which hurt like a lot. "Well hello there, Kapinga." A voice said. I slowly looked up hoping that it wasn't who I thought it was. But unfortunately fate had other plans for me. "Kashala what a pleasant surprise," I muttered. I did not even try to hide my annoyance in my voice. However, Kashala chose to rather ignore my rudeness and instead took a hold of my hand in his and started to pull me with him.

"Woah where on earth do you think you are taking me?" I asked as I pushed my feet into the ground. I did not enjoy being dragged around. I had already made plans. Plans with me, myself and I. Plans that I was not going to give up.

"To the Market of course," Kashala said and rolled his eyes at me as if I was an idiot for even asking. How dare he.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I asked all of a sudden riled up.

"I think the answer I am about to give you will only continue to further your anger so I am not going to answer that question," Kashala replied. He then started walking towards me slowly. And all of a sudden my emotions changed from angry to hot and bothered. My mind kept telling me to run away but another part of me wanted to stay right where I was. It wanted to be in his presence. It wanted him to keep looking at it like what he was doing right now.

His gaze was strong, demanding, and addictive. I felt like he was staring right through my soul and yet at the same time it felt like it had gotten much, much hotter. He was the predator and I was the prey. Only in this case I was a willing and submitting prey. I couldn't wait to get caught by my predator. My heart was steadily increasing as Kashala strode into my personal space. He then lowered his head, so we were staring at each other eye to eye.

Well, then my eyes involuntarily lowered to gaze at his lips. I wonder what his lips would taste like on mine. So, in my heated state I leaned forward in an attempt to try and find out. Kashala seemed to sense what my intentions were and leaned in too and then as soon as our lips were about to make contact, he moved causing my lips to land onto his cheek.

He then went on to kiss my cheek all the way to my earlobe which he bit on causing me to moan. As soon as the sound left my mouth, my brain finally decided to start working again. So, I did the only sensible thing and pushed Kashala away with as much force as I could muster and caused him to fly backwards until he landed on his backside. Feeling bad, I immediately ran to his aid.

"Are you alright. I did not mean to..." I was cut short from finishing my sentence by Kashala gasping my hand and pulling me towards him. Before I could even process what had just happened, I nearly landed on the ground but Kashala's swift hands caught me and pulled me into him. Relief flooded me first when I realised that I did not kiss the ground.

I felt it before I heard it. Kashala was laughing hysterically beneath me. At this I lifted my face upwards to give him a piece of my mind only to be paralysed by the sight of him laughing. He was a sight for sore eyes. I did not even realise that I had been staring at him until he leaned closer to my face as said, "Well, if you keep staring at me like that I will start thinking that you like me."

That was all it took for me to scurry of his body. I was more than embarrassed that he caught me staring that I could not look at him. Thank heavens when he got back up and finished cleaning himself he said, "Well, we better get walking then," and strode off without waiting to see if I was following him.

It did not take long for us to reach the Market. It was still as enthralling as before. And this time I had someone who agreed with me. We ended up shopping to our heart's desire. Such that we would buy things then go to Kashala's hut to drop the goods off only to return and shop some more. I did indeed have a great time with Kashala. Nothing crazy happened. But I did end up laughing all night through such that most people there thought I was drunk. In the end, I left half of my things at Kashala's house. Him being the gentleman he had walked me back home.

We did not talk much going back home. But it was comforting still. That was until a woman about the same age as Aunt Martha came up to us and said, "What a lovely couple you are. Cherish this because as soon as you have little ones, things change for good." Not to mention this lady had the biggest smile on her face. She then turned and walked away. From that moment on the silence between us became unbearable. Yet, none of us said a word until I reached the school entrance. I increased my speed in hopes of getting away from all this tension when Kashala said my name, "Kapinga."

Now let me tell you something. The way he said my name was incredible. His voice had dropped an octave. There was emotion laced in the way he said my name. I had no choice but to stop. I was too scared to turn around and face him because I knew that I as soon as I looked into his eyes I would be done for.

He then walked closer to me and whispered into my ear, "Mine," and then he made a grunting noise that was very animalistic. But somehow, I knew it was made my him and that awoke parts of me I did not know could be woken up. His lips then trailed down from my ear to the crook of my neck. Where he bite on my skin. And dare I say that I was in a state of bliss. All, I remember was hearing, "8am" and then he was gone, and I felt cold again.
