THICK THIGHS

The birthday breakfast organized for Professor John was the best experience he had ever had in terms of a birthday celebration. From knowing that his eldest daughter who was his pride married a king, He somewhat felt fulfilled. As a man, he had witness the sadness of his daughter under the torment of his wife, a very mean step mother. One would assume that it would stop but he could still see right through Hope that she dislikes his daughter for no reason.9

However, the recent glow and happiness steaming from Special's face was a consolation. It was also a reassurance that something beautiful was in store for his daughter.

The climax of the breakfast was seeing Mrs Lola! This was the woman who cared so much for his daughter from her adolescent years to her teenage years. She was still as beautiful as ever. He knew she would be approaching her 50's. From their first encounter, he had seen pure love in her eyes for his daughter even when they are not related.

Seeing her coming into the dinning hall after more than 13 years, he felt this instant replay of emotions that he almost sobbed!

"65 looks good on you sir. Happy birthday Sir." Mrs Lola complimented as she got close and he blushed.

"How is your husband Mrs Lola?" Hope immediately asked out aloud.

"Oh my Dad passed away three years ago in the UK." Toju replied in her step mum's stead.

"Really? so sorry for your loss." Hope said looking remorseful. "Oh am so sorry"Special reached out hugging Toju.

"Oh its nothing. He lived a very fulfilling life. Both of my eldest siblings gave him grand children before his passing"

"Thats so beautiful to know" John complimented smiling at Mrs Lola who became shy by his gaze. Unknown to her, Mrs Hope was watching and boiling in rage.

"How did you know we were here?" Special asked the both of them.

"I work for his majesty at His jewels company in the UK! He invited us and we are most grateful Your Majesty"

"Yes we are your highness" Mrs Lola added.

"It is nothing. its worth it as long as it adds some much needed smiles to the face of my wife"

"Thank you so much Derek.Sorry my king" Special corrected herself.

"Don't ever apologize. I love my name from your lips". Derek said touching her lips and the times stood still as there was a drop dead silence in the dinning room. Special felt as though she was just crowned the most beautiful woman in the whole world. They were mesmerized with each other. Their face drawing close, they were almost kissing.

John coughed as though he was choking on his meal.

"Sorry Daddy, please take it easy" Susan mentioned and everyone began talking again breaking the brewing passion between your majesty and his Queen.

"Would we be going for the beach walk later? Ashley asked as everywhere was getting busy with everyone eating and talking.

"Oh that would be wonderful. I love to walk on the beach",Toju exclaimed.

"After my wife has rested, then we will go for a walk in the Beach. if that is okay with you sir." King Derek sais

"Oh yes, Special, oh sorry Your grace needs some good sleep" John stated.

That statement signified the end of the brief breakfast for the royals.

The king and the Queen rose up from the table and everyone joined in standing up with Treasure standing up last, in a very reluctant manner.

Toju and Mrs Lola followed them behind as they walked out of the dinning room with their hands intertwined. As soon as they were out of the dinning hall, all hell broke loose.

"So you like Mrs Lola eh John?"

"Should I hate her?" John asked in a very sarcastic manner smiling.

"What is there not to love about her? She is an amazing woman?" Susan screamed at her mother.

"I have told you to warn your wife for me before I slap her with this pregnancy" Hope told Mark her son in law who was getting fed up with her drama as he rolled his eyes.

"Stop being dramatic. if I wanted another wife, I would have done that after you submerged my daughter in water under the compound tank or after you made her sleep on the floor under the staircase in my own house." John said as he stood up from the table.

Quickly, he was accompanied by Susan, her husband and their son.

"Where are you all going to?"

Hope asked as they all walked out on her ignoring her question as if she doesn't exist.

"I regret planning this trip. I regret it. Special has an evil aura. I swear."Hope complained.

"Mummy I still can't get over the fact that she is a queen. I can be worshipping her oh. I feel like dying".

"Not for long. There is a reason the king didn't make this marriage public. He is still studying her. So find me that idiot that she likes and I will scatter this union before the press hears of it. I will hit this Special where it hurts. Just invite that idiot here."

"Who mummy?" Treasure asked looking bewildered.

"That stupid lecturer Obi that you slept with!" Hope yelled at her daughter, calling her dumb underneath her breath.

"Oh!"

"Oh yes Oh! Invite him here and we will see how decent Special is or how qualified she is to be a Queen when the king catches her with another man" Hope grinned at her evil plan while Ashley's eyes popped out at her mother's plan.

The beach was another site to behold. The King's resort was built in such a manner that one would feel out of the country and very in touch with mother nature. White wooden chairs arrayed themselves with shades and a large drink stand with a steward. John got there before anyone and had taken Mrs Lola for a long walk before anyone arrived. They talked about their lives and walked very far from the chair settings.

Mark, Susan and their son Peter soon came out and sat under a shade sipping their coconut juice.

"Look who is here! Treasure exclaimed as She had Obi in her arms walking to the others like newly weds.She invited him immediately after breakfast and the young man rushed down to the King's resort.

"Where's is Special?". Treasure asked hoping to introduce the two old acquaintances.

"It is Queen Special in case you forgot" Susan corrected as she continued watching her father walk hand in hand with Mrs Lola.

"Sorry o. Queen Special's aid"

"Not aid. Favorite sister."

"Bitter soul"

"whatever! Skinny Bitch"

"Can you both stop?."Hope interrupted Her bickering children.

"Hello Obi how are you?"."Thank you so much for having me ma. Am very well thank you" Obi smiled

"Please sit down and enjoy some fruit juice. You know the King had his stewards prepare us some delicious snacks. I had to even send the caterers I hired home". Hope said smiling as she offered Obi some juice.

"So good to know mum" Susan sneered

"At least, no more waste of Dad's hard earned money. Hope rolled her eyes at her daughter Susan but refused to follow her down the part of argument.

"Where is your father?"Hope asked

"I don't even know but .. oh my God, look at him Mummy, walking and chatting with that Mrs Lola."Treasure exclaimed to her mother's dismay and disappointment.

They were quite afar off so it was difficult to even imagine what they were saying.Hope was angry and wanted to vent out.

"When will your father stop disrespecting me in every single manner?"

"Mummy please, calm down and stop over exaggerating situations. Its his birthday week. Let him have some private time with someone he can gist with" Susan lamented..

"Hope everyone is having fun.?" Came a loud baritone voice from behind them accompanied by Uyi.

"Your highness.!!" everyone stood and curtsied while the men bowed.

"Your majesty I will like you to meet Obi my friend" Treasure introduced him to the King smiling and gesticulating but Derek never noticed.

"Nice to meet you." He told the young man who looked quite older than the 25 year old Treasure.

"its a great honour, privilege and pleasure to meet you, your highness." The man bowed at him and Derek was just irritated.

"Where is your Grace? Hope asked.

"She is walking towards her father." Uyi responded from behind the king.

Everyone turned to the direction of Special walking with Toju towards her Father. She wore a pink short and a white singlet. Her thighs which were fair was glowing under the mild sunny rays.

Obi's eyes were filled with lust as he gazed at the woman he once had a crush on.

"She looks so good" He voiced out and King Derek growled under his breath with Hope secretly watching his expression as she grinned. This was what she had hoped for.

"Queen Special is the King's delight o. My big sister is our Queen and she encapsulate big and beautiful which is the goal o". Treasure cheered on, moving her hips some distance away from the king and hoping he was looking. But he was captured by the sight of his wife.

"Oh please stop all this pretense and advertising madam. We all know you prefer slim and watching The Queen's thick thighs got you nervous" Susan mocked Treasure.

All the men bursted into laughter including the king.

"Am sorry your highness for shouting."Susan apologized while Treasure was so embarrassed, she went to sit down quietly beside her mother who tapped her to calm down.

"Its okay Susan. I can understand the pregnancy hormones. But you are right though. I love her thick thighs."

"They are beautiful to behold"Obi said and all eyes turned to him.

"What did you say?" The king growled at him.
