He’s My Delilah Chapter 5Getting closer

Malik’s POV

I hurried to see my father. I wanted to get back to Ayan,my little, sweet Ayan. I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s been a while since I was this happy.

Everyone knew I favoured men,my last lover was Shafiq…he was quite possessive and ambitious. He was also a good soldier. He came from one of the powerful families in Jalen. They were even part of the council.

“Father, may I come in?” I ask

“Yes,son” he replies

“I heard you called me for some important issues” I say

“Sit down Malik” he says

I sit down and my father continues,

“You are doing well running the kingdom, I am so proud of you, the glory of our kingdom is talked about allover.”
You can see the pride shinning in his eyes

“Thank you father” I say and bow.

He might be my father but he is still the powerful and noble king of Jalen beloved by his people.

“My only worry is your person life son,when will you get a partner? You need someone loving and loyal by your side.”

“I know father” I reply

“Running a kingdom isn’t easy as you have found that, you need a person to ground you, distract you from your duty,your mother is that person for me” he says

“Yes,my love” my mother comes in and says

“Well,there might be someone” I say tentatively

“Really?”mother asks excited

“Yes,but this feeling is new” I tell him

“Well,whenever you are ready,we would like to meet him”father says

“Yes,father,may I take your leave?”I say

“Yes,you may” my mother says.

I leave in a hurry to go back to my quarters. Ayan must be there. I smile and enter and look around for him but I can’t spot him.

“Where could he be?” In the servants quarters?

So I get my black head cloth and veil my head and face,I only leave out the eyes.
I walk down the hallways till I reach the servant’s quarters. I enter and I think some of them recognize me,because I see them bowing. I hurry along till I ask the head of the quarter’s,

“Where is Ayan?”

He turns to look at me and he bows down,

“Sire,he is in the kitchen” he replies

“Thank you” I say and head to the kitchen.

I enter and see him laughing and helping the cook. I take a moment to just look at him and admire him and his beauty.
I head towards him and when he sees me,he blushes and says,

“Hey,Falcon”

Everyone around us gasps! The head cook moves to scold him but I stop him.

Ayan just looks confused at everyone’s behavior.
“Come with me” I hold out my hand

He takes my hand up and says,

“I would like to but I don’t think I should be crossing my limits with you. I have already taken too many liberties with you sire,I think I should stay away

“No,” I say back when I hear him say that

“But what if the prince hears that I am not doing my duties” he says fearfully

“Do you fear the prince that much?” He asks

“Yes,he is the powerful prince,I would never want to cross him” he says

“Don’t worry about the prince,he said its fine” I assure him

“Yes,sire,if you say so” he replies

I take his hand and we ran up to my quarters laughing all the way.

We use the secret corridors few people are aware of.
I feel free,like an eagle soaring through the air. At that moment,what am feeling reminds me of my alias “Falcon”.

Let’s see where this goes,I don’t plan out my chapters. I just write. Reads,votes,likes or comments, I’ll continue.😍😍😍😍
