His pride- The African mate

This is love

Amanda P.O.V

My first instinct, when Julie walked into the room was to move away from kings but held me firmly to himself

I felt so shy, so I buried my face in his chest. this is my first time of being so close to a man who is not a blood relation and that too, in the presence of my friend. it feels so uncomfortable, yet so right. like we belong together

wow, wow, wow, what do we have here Julie said, smirking as she move to another sofa . she poured herself some juice, then the glass towards Kingsley and I . To the newly aknowleged love.

I looked up to see kings smiling like someone who has just received an award. I tried to get out of his grip but he held on firmly.

Julie, there is something I need to discuss with your friend here. could you go home alone. I promise to bring her to the hostel as soon as possible

No! I forcefully freed myself from his grip. I am going back to the hostel with Julie I announced walking over to Julie's sided.

Kingsley, give Amanda a break, don't scare her. Julie warned jokingly

I am not trying to scare her he pout stepping towards us while I sat suddenly beside Julie. I can't decide if the action was to get away from him or because of my knees that suddenly went weak.

I just can't explain the feelings I get all over my body whenever kings is closed by.

Mandy baby, he sat beside me and took my hands in his, making us three people on a sofa that was meant for two. please I promise I will not make you do anything you are not ready for. I just need you to relax

As we both sat there, lost in each other's eyes, Julie got up, picked her phone and car keys and left

when she got to the door, she opened it to step out but stopped and spoke to her brother in a Stern voice. Bring her back to the hostel before 10pm.

yes ma. kings said, chuckling

I'm serious Julie said frowning. the hostel gate will be locked by 10pm and I don't want her being tensed.

if they lock the gate, she can sleep here

No! I scream getting up.

please wait. I was just joking. I will get you back to hostel by 9:30 he said grabbing my hand and pulling me down to sit on his laps.

The whole girlfriend thing is just too much for me. I felt my face burning in embarrassment as Julie smiled mischievously before leaving us.

finally, I have your attention babe. will you go to the cinema with me tonight he said looking at me hopefully

what time is the movie. I ask checking my wrist watch

let me confirm. he said browsing his phone to check available film and to books us a ticket online.

after about twenty minutes, he finally moved him attention to me, smiling like a little boy that got his first game toy. it's done. we will leave be 7pm so we will have up to 30mins to get to the cinema
