In as much as Luitsi had tried to pass the night in her step mother’s house, the hunger in her stomach had caused her to pass the night in the chamber of Bonis. Who had made sure she held her warmly in her arms when she had slept off. ” Bonis! Why do you have your hands wrapped over my breasts… Get it off!” She squeaked out after waking up in the alms of the petit girl.
” My love and best friend.” She yawned out as she took her hands off the warm body of her crush.
” Why are you so weird and do what a man would only do.” She said and shrugged away till she had her back against the wall in relaxation while she breathed in tiredness.
” It’s because you are beautiful and I love you luitsi. Hahaha.” She laughed out as she examined the thighs of her crush to make she the napkin hadn’t been soiled.
” I love Catori and I love Agiyon and I am mad ? Why do you love a woman. You are mad not me.” ” I’m hungry Bonis.” She said in a falling intonation.
” Oh food. There is always food In the palace. If you choose to stay here forever, no one will chase you. I will keep you warm in my hands every night, I will treat you like a queen”..
” You will make me vomit. You sound like a man.” She said and paused with a narrowed gaze at Bonises breast. They were so tiny and it was as if she hadn’t noticed it all along. ” Bonis, are you a man?” She asked in wild curiosity and began to slowly crawl towards Bonis, who was mute as calculated a means to get lucky again. Luitsi had her eyes on the pants of Bonis, she peered severely to see if there was any bumps as there was in those of Catori and Agiyon. Like a panther, she pounced against Bonis and pulled her pants down. She was disappointed and her sullen face could say it all.
” The fact that I don’t have what they have doesn’t mean I can’t make you happy. Give me a chance please? I really do love you.” Affirmed Bonis and was compelled to throw her hands over the neck of her Luitsi who just knelt, feeling dejected and sad. All it would have took was one man to love her, to make her his woman and to make her happy. All there had to be was a penis in the panties of Bonis, the love, care and affection was already there. ” Bonis.” She called out in a teary tone.
” Yes my love. Why are you so sad.” She asked in a sullen tone.
” I wanted you to be a man. You would have taken me as a bride wouldn’t you.” She said, in a slow tone that was full of depths of Sadness.
” If I was a man I would have married you an eon ago and when they’ll try to stop me, I will have taken you in my arms and ran away to a place where I would love you forever. Oh my love.” She said and tightened her grip over luitsi and kissed her at the back of the neck.
” Carry me? I’m bigger than you silly. You keep on touching me like a man, and then you kiss me and then you tell me you love me. Why do you do like that. Is your mind broken just like mine.” She asked in a sullen tone and turned to see the face of Bonis who was hugging her from behind. She could feel the aroused nipples of bonis, poking against her bareback as the hug grew tighter.
” Yes my mind Is broken. Just like yours but differently. People pardon you because they see you and take you for what you are. A lunatic. They keep judging because they can’t see how broken I am. The loneliness, the pain my love.” Said Bonis in a sober tone and placed her teary chin on the shoulders of Her crush.
” Is that how you are. You like girls and not boys right?” She asked without much predisposition.
” Yes. I didn’t used to be so but when I was teenager in the missionary. The boys and girls all made fun of me cause I was bony and lean. I tried to kill my self by drowning in the stream then my love came and saved me. Sister Ursula. The white woman. She nurtured me and loved me, she gave me all the love the boys could never give me, she kissed my lips and she made love to me. It all ended when they left. I was lonely and sad. I’m still lonely and sad.” She said in sober whisper. Luitsi could feel her warm tears pelting over her upper back.
” I’m sorry about what happened to you.” Said Luitsi who felt flat about the whole situation.
” Don’t be sorry for me. Love me. I have chosen you because of your weaknesses. I want you to choose me because of mine to. Please.” She said in a steady tone. It was without sobs, yet it was how hard she was tired of fighting, that made her tears roll.
” I do not love a woman. I want a man in my life. Do you understand me Bonis.” She said and for the first time in her life, she found herself showing affection to a fellow lady like herself who she grew up to hate because of how much they gossiped about her. Her palm was over the face of Bonis and she tapped her softly to console her.
” With time you will love me. Catori would take Amelia as his bride, and Agiyon would choose a maiden over you. Then you shall be left lonely and sad. Just like me. Only then shall you know that I’m the only one who ever truly loved you.” Said Bonis but still held on to her crush.
” Bonis.” She called out in sadness.
” Yes my love.” She replied.
” You said you love me. Why did you lie to me.” She said in a slow sober tone.
” Did I ? What did I say my love.”
” You told me if had a bath and got cleaned, then Catori would like me.” She said and slowly turned her gaze to the mat while she sat on her knees in desperation.
” And hasn’t he?” She asked her and slowly lifted her head from his back.
” He hasn’t come to check on me. You said he will come to check on me if slept in your Chambers.”.
” My love the king is Busy. You can go to greet him. He should be out for his morning meditation. I will have to get us some remnants from Amelia’s room before I get us something to eat. She doesn’t have a big appatite like we do. But get up first let me check your grooming.” Said Bonis and stood up with a smile. She wasn’t scared to compete with Catori, she knew she was going to win. ” The napkins are still intact. It gives you a cheeky roundness to. I will fetch a comb and soda powder. Brush your teeth with my brush and wash your face. I want him to see how radiant you are.” Said Bonis and began to comb the hair of her crush with a plast comb. It caused Luitsi to smile.
” You smell of good musk. It should do the trick. However he fails to love you at first sight, then it’s because you didn’t let me finish up the process. We shall have to do it over again.” Said Bonis with a tone of humor. Her friend did nothing but smiled. She was heading straight to steal the king’s heart.
