"Your people

A small figure was lying on the bed ,eyes closed tight .Only her head and a small patch of her shoulder was shown.

Red marks went along her shoulder,as she stir a little a whole shoulder and her breast,red bright marks were shown . It was like a wild beast attacked her last night.

With her legs still shaking lightly ,Rowan opened her eyes in surprise . Her cheeks flushed as she remembered yesterday.

" princess ,we are here to clean your room . One of them was the nun who came to confirm if something really went on.The just came with w useless excuse.

With red marks on her skin it was obviously something went on .Rowan was still.uncomfortable . Last night was pure ....she didn't know how to explain it ,but did he have to be like that ? he acted like a wild beast yesterday .

Before they could get near her ,her new husband arrived water droplets dripping down his face . His dread logs were ,untied as he walked towards tje bed.

All the maids stop what they were doing , " What's your business in my room ? " .

They all went quite . " it's still early ...and did my wife say she wants help? " The silent that followed was deadly ,as they all went quite .

" Get the hell out " .

" but we are here to check if the marriage is va..." Count Melisa was trying to explain as she panicked a little bit.

" Did i say we need your validation . ? did we . ? or maybe i forgot about it ." Sizwe didn't hold back with his sarcasm .

" we were told to check ,no matter what " count tried holding her ground with shaky feet .

In a split second ,Melisa (count) had her neck in a grip against the wall , " WHEN I TALK AND SAY GET OUT . YOU MUST GET OUT AND ONE MORE THING DON'T TOUCH MY BRIDE " ( sizwe ) .

she dropped down as she gasped for air , her breath came fast . Tears stream down her face as two maids rushed forward to come help her.

They rushed outside obviously scared .Rowan flinched a little as Sizwe's gaze turned to her . Why was he so mad .?

" a..are you okay ? ..i went out for a shower . I d..didn't know they'll bother you ." He scratched his a head a little.

His eyes didn't really meet hers . He felt mad at himself for hurting her . Rowan's body was covered with red marks everywhere . She didn't seem to notice it .

" it's fine ,it's part of our tradition. " she said softly ,with a raspy voice probably from screaming .

" i ..im thirsty" ( Rowan ) .

With huge stride Sizwe poured water in a glass,as he passed it to her .

The blanket uncovered one of her breast as she took the water to drink . Sizwe looked else where. Rowan seems to forget she's naked under the covers .

" y..you ..hair is wet " Sizwe glanced at her as she looked down seemingly shy , " i..i .you'll get sick if you don't get it dried up " .

" it's okay ,it'll dry on it's own . plus we rarely gets sick ." He passed the class to her .

scratching his head sizwe seemed shy about something .

" should i get a the maids to dress you ? "

That made Rowan look down only to see her chest exposed. She covered her self at the speed of lightning .

That made Sizwe chuckle a little . Hearing him laugh made Rowan even more shy .

" can you go out as i ...i want to dress " she immediately looked down .

" I'm your husband ,didn't we cross that yesterday ? plus I'm here to assist you " .

Before Rowan can say anything ,he took huge steps towards here and lifted her up on the air .

The covers were stain with a little bit of blood ,and some traces of the lovemaking last night.

" We need to leave today, we were waiting for you to wake up ." (Sizwe).

" you should have woke me up " Rowan's head was a little bit bend ,as she was shy meeting Sizwe's gaze .

" You seemed tired ,plus i felt guilty . maybe I went a little far last night "

' a little far ? little ? you tortured me .'

Despite wanting to say that she smiled at him " it's okay " .

****

By the time they came out of the shower ,the room have been cleaned up . The dirty sheets were no longer there .

The room have been cleared up . " Take some clothes . Preferably summer clothes ,it's really hot in my ' kingdom' that's how you people say it right ? " .

Rowan was really offended when Sizwe said your people it was like he was excluding her .

" yes ...us people say kingdom ." She smiled despite wanting to cry .
