his jealous*(9)

Joy and I stood there frozen , looking at the two people who were not very pleased with us .

I did not let go of Joy , I looked at Lolo  , and he was holding a closed bowl , which I knew was probably my porridge.

"What should we do?" Joy , asked whispering to me . I shrugged , not really sure what to do .

Seeing I made no move to let Joy , go Lolo's face turned showing a dark expression." Why are you not letting him go?!" .

He all but growled the question out as if it left a bitter taste in him mouth .

I slowly placed Joy , on the ground as not to displease my beloved any longer .

" The sun is high in the sky and it's hot , would you two like to join us for a swim?" I asked politely looking at them wearily.

Thando, turned his head and looked at Joy , without a word . He looked strangely calm .

" Come here please" he spoke to Joy , who did not disobey . He walked up to Thando , and also looked calm . " Will you really not join me for a swim?" Joy , asked looking at Thando .

" Do you want me to ?" Joy ,nodded at the question . " Then I'll do it , make sure to stay close ".

Joy , did not reply . I left the two to their own devices and looked at my queen Lolo. He glared at me his angery gaze made me very pleased for some reason .

He still looked beautiful , " Lolo , would you like to swim with me ?" I asked with a smile.

" No " he refused with a huff . " Oh come on , why are you so angry my dear ?" I asked .

He did not reply he simply ignored me . I smiled helplessly , slowly I got out from the river and walked up to him.

Seeing my half naked body he froze and showed a shy expression . I smirked and raised my brow yet said nothing .

" Can you help me appease my beloved ?" I asked the grasses and the trees . " We'll make a rose bloom , pluck it for him "  they said sounding very excited.

They really did make a rose bloom and the river slowly danced . I plucked the rose and smiled at Lolo , who was still upset .

I walked up to him and hugged his waist , he was a bit startled at first but relaxed in my arms . I showed him the rose . " It's for you , a rose that will never die just like my love for you , will you keep it?".

He nodded and took it but still did not look at me . I did not like that so I gently lifted up his face using his chin so he'd look at me .

" Why are you upset my Lolo ? If you don't tell me how will I know ?" I asked our faces mere inches apart .

He took a step back and looked down again ." Don't hold another man like you just held your brother I do not like it " .

My heart thumbed at his words , I suddenly wanted to hear a song that would make me dance to the rhythm of my heart beat .

He was jealous , my beloved actually cared , that was all I could think about at that moment .

"Is that for me ?" I asked him pointing at the closed bowl." I made you porridge" .

I smiled and pecked his lips . He gave the bowl to me and I ate the porridge with relish .

We sat down under the tree , basking in its shade happily . " That woman is coming "  the trees warned making me stiffen .

" What is it ?" Lolo, asked . " Nosipho , is coming" . Now it was his turn to stiffen , which made me suspicious.

"What is it ?" I asked eating the last drop of porridge on my bowl . " Well , well if it is not the witch prince" Nosipho , said coming into view.

She stood there with an aura of sheer confidence . She smirked at me and looked at Lolo . " I wonder what your grandmother will think when he hears your with the cursed prince ".

Her words made me freeze in an instant . The other thing was Lolo's grandfather . He seemed to really hate me and I wondered why .

" Your an obstacle standing between him and his goal " said sir Xolo . I was a bit confused but I knew one thing .

Whatever goal that man wanted to reach was bad.  How could it possibly be good ?he was not a humble man .

" You have no right to speak to my beloved like that" I defended Lolo . She merely laughed , " your beloved? You must be joking , well whatever , that boy was promised to me and he shall be my husband".

"What?!" I yelled now standing up straight . I hoped she was merely joking , I had no reason to believe such an insinuation.

My gaze met Lolo's sad one and my heart shattered . Everything went silent , all I could hear were the voices in my head getting louder .

My eyes darkened with the intent to kill . How could I let her have him? I could not , Lolo , was mine . He was my beloved , my bride.

" Who decided that ?" I asked holding back my anger . " His grandfather " she replied .

" Lolo , did you agree ?" I asked him , my voice showing no emotion at all. " I had no choice Ukhanyo" something in me seemed to snap after he said that .

I picked him up from the ground and trapped him against the oak tree . My lips crashed against his firmly , I wanted him to remember my taste , my touch .

I wanted to engrave my name in his heart . Only I could have him . He was mine . " You can only be mine , you can only love me" I said my voice deeper than usual and my eyes colder .

I felt him shiver , whether it was from fear or pleasure I did not care . " I know , but I don't have a choice " he said breathlessly.

" I'll give you a choice , by the next full moon in a week I'll make you mine , on that day I'll take you as my bride ".

With that I walked away , I needed to calm down before I hurt someone . Especially my beloved .

"Calm down young prince , that woman did it to rial you up , you must not loose control over your emotions or they will control you " .

I breathed heavily as the trees , said that . " You don't understand , she wants to take what's mine " I growled angrily .

"She can't take him away from you no matter how hard she tries , without his love filled heart belonging to her, she won't be able to use him " .

" She can't use him for her selfish greed but she can use him to hurt me .Lolo , can't seem to be able to go against his grandfather's word " .

"Your right young prince but he is strong they won't be able to control him " sir Xolo , said with a calm voice.

I nodded but I was still going to keep my word. On the next full moon i would marry Lolo , as my bride . If he was closer to me then no one could hurt him.

" Little witch prince you won't be able to do anything , I'll make sure to suck away at your happiness like you did mine ".

With those words , I turned and met eye to eye with Nosipho's hate filled eyes .

What was even more baffling was that I knew that look .

The only thing that ran through my mind at that moment was .

It could not possibly be her , she was supposed to be dead .
