His pride- The African mate

My chance

Kingsley P.O.V

I watched the girls wispering to themselves. I wondered what they were up to. After some time, they both seemed to finally agreed to on the television and they both agreed to tone to Zeeworld.

I don't know what women like in that channel everything is so unreal and childish but I am not about to complain. anything to keep my crush around.

I truly enjoyed the food while I secretly admired Mandy. By the way, Julie makes the most delicious breadfruit porridge ever. she learnt from the best. my mom is a trained chef before she met my dad and thanks to dad, she owns chains of fast food restaurants and eateries. Mom makes it a duty to teach her only daughter some of her recipes.

she looks so innocent yet so fiesty. I had made every attempt to woo her since the beginning of this semester but to no avail. Although she always accept to hang out with Julie and I most times. I made it a point of duty to hang out with my sister regularly, knowing that she will always tag along. Her presence is strangely comforting to my heart these days. I refused to hook up with other girls ever since I came back for my HND.

Amanda has become my obsession. the only girl I desire these days and she had been playing hard to get.

it took all I have to convince Julie to give me this chance to be with Amanda alone. She has noticed the change in me although I know she still has some doubt but I know in my heart that Amanda is the only girl I want to have in my life.

As previously planned, I dailed Julie's phone from my handset set. she got the hint and excused herself to answer the pretend call, heading outside the flat.

Amanda, I will be back soon someone is waiting for me outside.she called out on her way out.

what? Amanda sounded shocked. I can come with you, we will leave from there she replied getting up

No, no I won't take long, besides we need to finish this episode of 'king of hearts' here before we can go please pretty please. my sweet sister said to her friend while I prayerfully watch them in silence.

ok. don't be long she answered with her nervous smile.

I know she doesn't want to be left alone with me but I will be damned if I let this opportunity slip off my hands.

So, tell me about Chimamanda Uzo. I said going over to sit beside her on the sofa.

Nothing much. you know about me she chuckled nervously moving away from me to the farthest part of the sofa.

Relax Mandy. I don't bite. let's just talk while we wait for Julie. silence will be awkward, don't you think so I questioned faking my best innocent face.

Ok, what do I say. she begins smiling. I am chimamanda precious Uzo. the first daughter and first child of my parents. A second year student of Mass comm department. she concluded looking at me unsure if she has given the answer I expected.

I was busy watching her lips as she speak that I didn't even notice that she has stopped talking.

I came back to my senses when she looked away from me.

oops. I'm sorry I was charmed by your beautiful I apologised.

you have started with your flirting games she accused with pretend frown.

No. no I am not flirting I said seriously. I got lost in your eyes, I just can't explain, you won't understand anyway I said shrugging.

what else do we talk about she tried to change the topic.

tell me the type of guy you would like to date I asked

I am not sure I am ready to date now. I wish to concentrate on my studies she responded still smiling

You are already a straight 'A' student, dating will not be a distraction to you I returned.

I don't think I am ready she insisted

let's say hypothetically, that you were ready, would you date someone like me.

she remain silent.

hmmm. I insisted waiting for an answer

hypothetically you said? she asked

hypothetically I repeated

yes. she wisppered but I heard her

yes! yes!! yes!!! I lifted her up bridal style dancing around.

let me go, let me go she said struggling to get down.

you tricked me. I said yes to the hypothetical question not to you she said straightening her dress as she got down.

you just admitted that you have feelings for me I winked at her stepping forward

I don't she took a step backwards

you do. I said stepping forward again while she kept stepping backwards till she got to the wall. I moved swiftly and placed my two hands by her sides caging her in.

I can hear her heart beating faster as she looks away from me. I leaned in more, then lifting her chin, I told her to look at me.

she looked at me with this amazing brown innocent eyes of hers while I stare from her eyes to her lips

please let me kiss you. I said leaning in slowly while I give her chance to refuse.

she kept staring at my face as if she was in a trance. I took her silence as consent. so I smashed my lips on hers, kissing her ever so gentle, yet passionately. I have waited for eternity for this moment.

she placed her hands on my neck, leaning in more. she tastes so good. sensing that this is her first experience, I bit on her lower lips, she gapse giving me access to stick my tongue into her mouth. she pause in confusion, but I was determined to teach her. After some minutes I pulled out giving both of us time to breathe. she was panting, visibly shaken. I can feel my junior already throbbing in my boxers begging for freedom.

At the same time she noticed it and quickly dodged from under my arms as she tried to escaped from me but I was faster. I gripped her by the left arm and pulled her back to my chest wrapping my arms around her waist, making feeling my hard on

please relax Mandy. I won't do anything without your consent. I just want to hold you for some time. I hugged her and she melted into my arms.

we stood like that for some time. I wish time could stand still. I can feel our hearts beating at same pace. Right then I knew I have fallen for this girl.

knock knock knock we heard someone at the door. she tried to move away but I held her tighter. I already knew it was Julie because I wasn't expecting any visitor.

Go on a date with me. I proposed pulling out a bit to look into her eyes

won't you get the door she tried to dodge the proposal, looking everywhere but at me

I don't need any visitor now. I said using my hands to bring her face to face me. holding her firmly with the other hand.

it could be Julie. she replied trying to get away again.

then she will have to wait outside till I get my answer

ok. I will. go open the door please she said looking worried

come in, the door is not locked. I called out to whoever

The door swung open revealing smiling Julie. Amanda tried to get away at the moment thinking I am distracted but I pulled her back to me
