Bride of Elim

CHAPTER 17

***YOU ARE MY QUEEN***

Being nice to people you don't know is common courtesy. Not knowing who a person is does not necessarily mean that they are bad people or that we have to be rude towards them. It was Zacchaeous's own ignorance that led him to this, his lack of kindness toward strangers. We had been sitting on the dining table eating for a short while, everyone was in a cheerful mood since Zac came. Not that they were miserable or anything like that, they were just happy to see him.

I had been contemplating on whether I should make that fool Zac regret the way he treated me or if I should be merciful but most of all I wanted to know what Malik was going to do when he found out the manner in which he's dear cousin treated his Queen.

"Your highness I would like to convey my sincere apologies for the way I treated you earlier. It is My own ignorance that led to my presumptuous behavior towards my Queen. Please forgive me. " I gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He sounded sincere but now everyone on the table was looking at me as if I owed them an explanation. Good job blockhead! You just gave yourself away. Malik looked at me then him. I made a straight face, since his the one who mentioned it he had to be the one to explain what happened.

"what are you talking about? What happened? " My dear husband affectionately held my hand as he asked. Girl.... My heart did a back flip in an instant. After that small gesture, how could I stay mad at my dear cousin. Malik's cousin is my cousin as well, right? Hahaha! Just kidding, I was not so gullible to believe that man was sorry. He was only Apologizing because I turned out to be The new Queen.

"It's nothing hubby, It was my fault. I didn't know we weren't supposed to borrow the books from the library. " Now watch me act like a white lotus. Zoe would give me a standing ovation for this. She always said that I was so bad at acting, if only she saw me then acting all proper and innocent. Malik gave me a surprised look, he must have known that I was up to something because I was not one to be kind towards people that wronged me. He then throw daggers at Zac.

"Man, what did you do?" Matthew asked in a low pitched voice, he seemed to think that Malik was mad. He was scarce on the house I thought he had gone back to college. "It was a mistake your highness I-i thought that she w-was an outsider, so I asked that... That" He stuttered. "He said to let my husband come get the book." I finished the sentence for him. It was dead quiet for a moment, the elders who had been quietly listening to everything now seemed shocked but then Matthew busted out in laughter. That kid was slow on catching vibes, he then quiet down when he noticed that everyone was giving him the look that says, "Shut up! " at just one glance at its beholder.

He awkwardly cleared his throat then stole a glance at Malik who had a murderous look on his face. "You said I should do what? " He asked him rising an eyebrow at him. Sh*t! He really got angry. Maybe I went to Far with the matter but I thought that Malik was just playing along, letting me throw a fit a little but now he was furious. "Cousin, I didn't.... " Zac did not finish what he was saying, granny spoke up. "Let's not ruin this dinner over minor issues, Zacchaeous made a mistake and he apologized for it. Now let us all move on from it. "

We all checked ourselves and continued eating but surprisingly, Malik was still angry. I thought I missed something. There was no excuse for the way Zac treated me whether I was an outsider or not, he should have treated me better and he admitted to his mistake and asked for forgiveness. Even though I wanted to teach him a lesson, I thought he would get a small punishment or get scolded at but the way Malik looked at that moment i thought he was going to kill him.

"Calm down son, it was just a small misunderstanding. " Mother said but Malik got up and left living me with questions. "Don't worry Zac, he just needs to calm down. " mother continued. The atmosphere was not so pleasant after Malik left in anger. I was a little worried so I got up to follow him but mother spoke up again. "It would be better to let him cool off for now dear. " I nodded my head then continued walking upstairs.

I opened the door to our bedroom and found him sitting on the bench with his hands on his face. He looked rather gloomy than angry now, I walked to him and stood in front of him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." Of course I knew I was not in the wrong but I just thought it would calm him down. But I was wrong because he started fuming again. At that point I didn't know what to say, I just stood there frozen."For what? Why are you sorry? It is them that need to apologize for mistreating you, not the other way around. Do you hear me??"

Gosh I was so frightened that I jumped on his Last word."Yes."I replied instantly. He said them. A lot of questions started ringing on my Head. To whom was he referring to when he said them? And who did they mistreat? Why was he so angry? Though I had questions, it wasn't the right time to get answers.

"You are my Queen, Don't ever apologize to me especially for what other people did. " I nodded my head and sat next to him. "It's okay Malik, your cousin made a mistake and he apologized for it so I'm alright. " I didn't know what was the real reason why he was that way but I thought that if I assured him that I was alright then it would make a difference.

He looked at me with the saddest face I'd ever seen on a man that even my heart broke. What ever it was that was bothering him was big and it hurt him so much. I didn't know what to do to console him, so I did the first thing Tha came to my head. I kissed him but he didn't kiss me back. Even though I was a little disappointed I got up then sat on his lap and deepened the kissed which he responded very well to. I wasn't sure what to do next but I figured we would cross that bridge when we got there.

I was feeling a little brave that night so I took his hand and led him to bed and sat him down then started unbuttoning his shirt. He's trousers followed then my dress, he watched me through it all but as soon as I was done he scooped me up and threw me on the bed. He removed my panties and charged his bulge straight for my cunt. My poor vajayjay.

That night I was tossed and turned and bent in ways I didn't know my body was capable of bending. He was different from yesterday. The s*x was rough but in a way that excited me as well. By the time we stopped my legs were a shaking mess, it was a little funny but I was glad that he was back to his usual self as he cuddled me to sleep.
