Bride of Elim

CHAPTER 13

**** I FEEL GREAT ****

Time flew by, it was already time for the party to begin. I had dozed of on the couch in Malik's bedroom, I mean our bedroom. He called out my name a couple of times before I woke up. He was already dressed in a tuxedo. "uhhm, what? What is it. " I asked him. For some reason my dumb head had forgotten that there was a party held in my honor and I had to be there for the introduction.

"Go and get ready, the party is about to start. " He stated as he went and stood in front of the mirror to fix his bow tie. I sprinted off the couch. "Sh*t! Why didn't you wake me up." I yelled running off to the bathroom to take a quick shower then I remembered something, I didn't have anyone to to my make-up. I decided I'd just do simple make-up there was no time.

After my quick shower I went into the closet to get my dress. There were three other choices laid on the sofa. They were quite elegant but I chose the one I bought because I loved how it fitted me perfectly. I loved how it showed of my curves and how it made me seem tall than I am, which is something I didn't care about before. Now all I cared about was looking my best at that party, it was about me after all.

While putting my dress on I decided to try one of those lingerie set Malik had bought. He wasn't even shy about buying me underwear. The moment I put it on it fitted me well. Damn the thing made me feel sexy as hell, I wondered why I never bought one myself. I put on my dress and fixed my hair then quickly grabbed my shoes to wear. A knock came from the door, Malik was already gone when I got out the shower. "Come in. I shouted from the closet and heard the door open as i came out.

"Goodness me." My aunt said stunned as she walked toward me. "Look at you baby, you look amazing." she said enveloping me in a warm hug. "Thanks aunt. " I replied as we broke the hug. "My little Mimi is no longer a baby anymore." She said with tears in her eyes, I nodded as I felt the emotions surge in me too. "Your parents would have been so proud. I'm prod of you." she proclaimed, sniffing back the tears. "Thank you aunt. I love you. " I said blinking back mine. "I love you too kiddo I mean my Queen. " She bowed her head play. We both laughed at her silly joke.

"Now let's fix this face, I can't believe you were about to go out like this." she said sitting me down and started working on my face. When she was done I was like "Wow!" she even did the smokey eyes. She had always been better at doing make-up than I ever was, I couldn't understand how that old woman could have better makeup tricks than I did.

Malik walked in just as my aunt finished. "Are you ladies done yet?" He ashed with a big smile on his face but then stopped on his track and his face slowly changed from cheerful to mesmerized."You- you look... " I looked amazing, I knew but he didn't have to open his mouth like that as though he was about too swallow me whole. It was a little funny to witness a whole king do that. Aunt cleared her throat snapping him out of it. "Your highness please excuse me. " She looked back at me and made a funny look before she walked out the door. I muffled a laugh.

"You look wonderful. " The mighty King had gathered himself and was now all serious. Cute. "Shall we? " He bent his arm fand I linked mine on as we both walked to the party. There were many eyes on us, some were admiring and some were written envy all over them. Everyone was there, even prickly Matthew was present. We exchanged pleasantries with family and guests, the grannies where there as well so I had to be on my best behavior.

I was declared Queen in front of everyone, that I would rule besides Malik as his equal and companion. I wasn't sure about the ruling part but I was happy to be properly introduced to the people or should I say the to the nobles because I knew they didn't invite everyone. Mother gave me a ring that was apparently passed on through generations of Queen in the Baham family. I was so honored to have.

The party was going well, everyone was enjoying themselves except for me, I was missing Zoe. I wish she were there to witness everything even though I was mostly likely going to end up drunk out of my mind if she were around but I still missed her. Granny asked me to have a drink with her and I did, besides I was so damn tired and my heels were killing me, I needed to sit down a bit. Granny and I had a few drinks, it wasn't much. Certainly not enough to make me drunk.

It was not my kind of party but it was okay I guess. I was having another glass of wine when f*** Naomi showed up with the most unexpected guest. Nothing in the world could have prepared me for that one. Freaking Omar walked in hand in hand with that smug Naomi like they owned the place. "F**k" I muttered. I got up and scanned for Malik in the room until I found him. My dashingly handsome husband. He looked so hot.

"Hubby, Naomi is here, you should get me out of here while you still can." I giggled, granny's wine was doing things to me. Things that only happened when I was drunk and I only had three glasses of wine or less, so there was no way I was drunk was there? "Why, is everything okay?"He looked a little concerned. "I feel great and I'm going to beat the crap out of her if you don't take me out of here." He was shocked by what I said his eyes were almost falling off. "What? But why?" I shot him a glared. "She's crashing my party. " I lied of course. Naomi wasn't the real reason why I wanted to live rather her companion was.

She was going to expose my little secret to everyone with proof by her side but she wasn't going to if I wasn't even there to begin with no one would believe her. "Malik take her inside, I think shes had too much to drink. I'll take care of the guests." mother came to my rescue or maybe saved Naomi because I was really going to snatch her face if she tried it. I would not go down so easily.

Malik took my hand and we walked to the exit. "Malik, your living so soon" Naomi pulled Malik by the arm with Omar by her side staring at me like I killed his mother. "Don't touch, he's mine. " I blutterd out, took his hand and walked out of there. He chuckled and uttered. "you must be really drunk. "

Walking in the hallway I started feel hot like seriously hot to the point of wanting to strip, but I didn't. I fanned myself until we reached the room, Malik took my shoes and went somewhere. I didn't really pay much attention to where he went but I knew he was still inside the room. Taking of my dress I laid on the bed trying to cool down but it wasn't working. Now I was sure the was something in that drink, then I felt my core starting to warm up. I suddenly felt the urge to kiss him.

His bow tie was hang untied from his collar, I watched him walk toward me. He was so damn sexy I wanted some of that. Gosh, what am I saying. I wasn't thinking straight but I didn't care. My mood was a little freaky. "Oh I-I'm s- sorry, I didn't... " And that's when I crashed my lips on his. He didn't resist, instead he grabbed the back of my neck and deepened the kiss. The atmosphere in the room changed so fast it was as though our bodies had cough on fire.

The need to feel him inside me grew by the second. He's every touch on my body fuel my arousal and made me want him even more but then he suddenly pulled away. My mind blanked for a minute. "What, what is it? " I asked why he'd stopped, I thought he was getting the same vibes as me. "I can't, not like this." I glared at him, didn't he want me? . "Not like what?" I asked. My body was literally shaking, with desire. I had never wanted a man this much. "Meera you're obviously drunk. You are not are not in your right state of mind." He was a gentleman I'll give him that but that's not what I wanted to hear. I wanted him to scoop me up and throw me on that bed.

"But I want you now. Don't you want? " I was on the verge of tearing and the aching on my vjayjay wasn't doing me any justice. I felt the temperature was rising too high in the room. "Of course I want you Meera, I want you so bad I'm almost losing my mind. " He cupped my cheeks with both his hands and put his forehead on mine. "But I want you sober. " He's words made my heart flip but also made me want to kick him in the nuts, he could tell just how desperate I wanted him but he was turning me down like this.

He gave me a soft peck on the lips then let go. I watched him as my mind went blank, I tried to think of things to say to stop him from walking out the door but nothing came. He pulled the knob opening the door and that's when I lost it. "Please....." I whimpered as I begged. He's action halted, he turned to me with a look on his eyes as though he was about to devour me then pushed the door closed.
