So , you wanna come in and sit with me for a bit ? ‘ she asked, twisting and twirling her lips .
Nenlo was lodged in a private cottage at the east end of the town . Just she and her aids. Two guards and two maidservants .
Errr, no , actually , I have to go pick up my children from school ‘ he replied,as he turned to back her .
Newitt , it’s okay ‘ she said as she perched on the red the swing bench on the front pouch .
Nenlo , I honestly have to go. It’s a few minutes after one , and I don’t want to be late to pick them ‘ he added, turning back to face her .
Ughhh , you’re always dodging this side of things ,’ she said calmly.
Nenlo, what side ? What are you even saying ‘ he asked innocently .
The side were you act like you’re actually betrothed to me. ‘ she replied in a loud voice .
Newitt laughed for about a minute, then said his goodbyes.
You parents should have to you, you can’t escape this ‘ she yelled .
Her two guards jumping up in fright, only to realize, it was just the princess in her usual mood .
Nenlo’s parents King and Queen Mortin, has sent her to chantew town , to get to know Newitt better , because they already had an arrangement with his parents that they’re daughters would need to marry from a royal family, and Newitt happened to be the a descendant of a royal family .
Newitt sighed as he rode back to the town, all he could think of was the word “ betrothed” .
He had even had even time to move on from his dead wife , now this . His parents must be joking ‘ he thought. He doubled the pace of his riding, and tried to take his mind off his discussion with Nenlo .
Neri, now 8, and Kenri now 5 , sat beside each other on the wooden stairs leading to the school, and played chess from the box Neri had gotten from school for being the best in the just concluded maths quiz competition.
Dad’ they both yelled , their curly tan brown hair flying behind them , as they ran to hug their dad.
Look what I got ‘ Kenri yelled, as he realized he left his chess box behind .
Evening ‘, Mr Nomje ‘ Miss Fonshen called out from the entrance of the school.
Kenri, die forget your gift ‘ she reminded him as she approached Newitt.
Mrs Fonshen, was a stunningly beautiful dark skinned young lady. Most likely in her early thirties. She had been transferred from the city to their town , Chatew, by the board of educational services for the state. Her slender body with soft curves in the right places, and her lips red as an apple.
She knew how to take care of the children, and she didn’t dress as scantily as the teacher , Menza, that just left did, so everyone liked her , especially the mothers.
She was the assistant head teacher , but she also thought the children across all classes English.
Newitt smiled shyly at her, as he gently to the chess box from her.
What’s this for? ‘ he asked .
Kenri immediately told his dad everything that happened that day , and his dad was so pleased he invited Miss Fonshen to the farm for dinner.
She tried to politely refuse , but Kenri wasn’t having it, so she finally accepted the offer.
Newitt promised to pick her up latest by six, at any location of her choosing. She nodded shyly, and waved at them goodbye .

The ride back home was on of the longest Newitt had had in a long time, because Kenri kept asking why they couldn’t get a new mom . Newitt tried to explain to him that it wasn’t that easy , and that he was trying . Kenri still insisted ,when Newitt got tired of explaining to his son , was quiet the remaining way home.
It was 5:15 , and there was a knock on the door . It was Miss Fonshen, she had decided to come on own, with the town’s commercial carriage to lessen the stress for Newitt . Deep down , Newitt gave her a 5/5 in the area of understanding.
During dinner, Newitt asked her so many questions about the city, her life growing up and about being a teacher. The conversation didn’t end until about 9:00pm. After they had tucked both Kenri and Neri into bed.
Ooops, ‘ she exclaimed looking at the wall clock .
They had enjoyed each other’s company , they forgot to check the time.
Well, it’s a Friday today, Miss Fonshen, I don’t see why you can’t stay in the guest house till tomorrow.
But I don’t even have clothes to change to ‘she told him, her eyes wide open .
I’d get you some ‘, come with me , he said as he led her to the guest house.
It was just a small version of their brick house , right behind the main house. The walls were painted peach, the house had a stuffy smell, so she opened the windows to let some fresh air in. It had a very small kitchen and living room space. The bathroom was old, but very neat and well maintained.
She packed her hair in a bun, took off her yellow and brown dotted knee length sundress , and was left with only her black corset , a black bra and a pair of black skin tight shorts . After waiting for about five minutes without seeing Newitt , she fell asleep on the old brown couch in the living room.
Newitt came in about five minutes after she had fallen asleep , apologizing as he knocked and let himself in.
Ooops , he let out as he saw she was partially undressed .
He gently covered a duvet over her slender body and left the folded clothes he got from Namaje’s closet .
She briefly opened her eyes, thanked him, and went back to bed.
Newitt, watched her sleeping for a while, then turned off the light and headed back to the house.

The ride back was quiet and peaceful. Kenri and Neri were back at the farm, doing some chores and also helping the farm workers with very minor jobs, like packing the raked weeds.
Drande, the town’s hairdresser , who was the chief gossip in the village and also a people pleaser ,as she was headed for work spotted Miss Fonshen in Mr Newitt ride coming from the direction of his farm, and squealed in delight.
Everybody that had come to her shop that day learnt about what she saw , including Nenlo , who wasn’t having it easy listening to Drande , shake her large hips here and there as she described how compatible and happy they looked together .
