[PRIVATE] Taming the Lioness's Heart

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

@VitanisMate: Lesedi landed her eyes on Ekwu and she fully faced him to answer his question. She studied his body language, thoroughly and intensely, knowing exactly what her gaze did to him. "First here's a question for you: do you want me to love you enough to spend my life with you?"

The lioness knew what she was doing and she knew the question would make him think. And if thought better than she thought he would, he would realize if he wanted her tor Marjani truly.

Ekwu looked at the lioness and said to her, "I want you to love me for me. Nothing more, nothing less. If your love for me makes you want stay with me forever then I...well anyway I want you to love me for me. Can you do that?" He looked into her eyes and felt pure warmth and felt she could ease every pain in his life.

===

Marjani then came in and told Ekwu, "Ekwu I love you and I cannot live without you!" Ekwu looked shock knowing that this decision would be very tough. He swallowed getting nervous again.

@VitanisMate: As Lesedi was about to answer, she saw Marjani burst onto the scene. She could see he was getting more nervous now, and she didn't want to put him through that. Looking over at him, she set her one-of-a-kind gaze on him, "I know I can love you for anything and everything you are. But love is a tricky game because you have to love the other just the same".

Her eyes looked over at Marjani and she started to walk past her, "if you can love me for me and everything I am just like I can for you, you know where to find me" she smiled and left the two. Ekwu was going to make his decision and she wanted him to know she was going to be logical about it all and hold him to the same standard if he wanted her to love him like she did. She knew what she wanted and she knew that she needed to have someone who would be on the same level with her when it came to the game of love.

Ekwu got nervous around Marjani as well. He could see by the look in her eyes that she wanted to do something. What he did not know. "Uh...well I...uh have the same question for you?" He gulped. "Uh do you love me enough to spend the rest of your life with me?" She did not hesitate but rubbed his neck. "Uh...is that a yes?" He swallowed. He felt amazing around Marjani and closed his eyes never wanting this moment to end. He waited knowing that this moment would end eventually. He also knew that Lesedi could be watching.

===

Marjani heard him ask the question and she did her own way of showing him yes. Marjani remembered Ekwu growing up and how she picked on him about his name, how he walked and about how he played but at that moment right there she loved everything about him and felt at peace. Ekwu coughed and said, "Alright I need to think long and hard." He took a huge deep breath.

"Good plan" Naki smirked, "But there is another way, care to have a guess?"

Soon overpowered by Malaika's playful spirit, Grunge chuckled nervously and let her do as she pleased with hm, despite how awkward it made him feel. Trying not to look her in the eye, he squirmed a little but mostly just waited for her to get off. Things wouldn't turn out well if Adeola's family didn't like him.

"ha, I see that you are very confident, ok, it would be a problem, first I will deal with you, then I will get that traitor lioness, and I will have a little of fun with the cub that has a very weird fur", when Kamy hear the king say something about her fur, she just put a very angry face, if there was something that always make Kamy very mad, is someone making fun of her fur, Kamy having her angry look say to the king "NO one, no one, make fun of my fur", angrily, she try to roar, when she try to roar, she make that same sound of a roar mix with other animal sound, she continue to make that sound a few times, and then she make a sound that wasn't a roar, but it was something else, the lioness around them and the king were a bit of scare to see the cub doing that sound

@SilverSimba01: Adeola studied the opponents and her daughter's sounds, but kept her eyes on the opposition that was the king's pride. She joined in with her own furious roar, sending the birds in the trees to fly away as quickly as they could and some of the other lionesses to back off. She meant business and with her cub, she wasn't allowing anything to find her weak point.
================================
@SnowyCheetah: Adeola turned her head to watch her sister wrestling around with Grunge, and was about to say something before Neobi cut in, "Malaika why don't you bug Afolabi?"

Afolabi perked his head up over his brother's large body and questioned the option of wrestling with him. Malaika let out a giggle before she hopped over the two siblings over to Afolabi and started getting the upper hand as the younger one with more energy and more resilliance than that of her older brother.

Adeola let her head drop down to her paws and looked over at Grunge, "had fun?" She sarcastically smiled.
================================
@VitanisMate: Lesedi walked away enough for him not to see, and she turned her head to look back, "good luck" she whispered with a tear hinting at her eye. Before it dropped down her cheek, she turned away and walked forward and onward, making sure no one saw her beaten form as she knew Marjani had won. But of course, why wouldn't she have? She was his childhood friend from the beginning and she was a nice lioness to have around. Lesedi didn't doubt herself of those qualities, but she was a little down about how her luck was turning out with Ekwu.
================================
@Nakisisa: "Umm, no?" She replied, looking at him for the answer.

[VitanisMate]

Ekwu waited for both Lesedi and Marjani to leave and sat back thinking. He had no idea what to say at all. He loved them both and felt like if he lost either one his life was over. He knew he had to talk to Adeola again. "Uh Grandma uh I am still lost on who to choose. I cannot live without either one! It is just too hard for me to decide alone."

===

Marjani went back and went up to Lesedi. "Hey Lesedi you love him do you not?" She looked away and said, "I am not sure f I love Ekwu as much as he loves me. I mean if I did I would not be questioning it right?" She looked away and for some reason wanted Lesedi's advice.

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

@VitanisMate: Adeola looked at him, listening to his distress. "I can't help you" she replied to him. She really did wish she could help, but she was at a loss for what to tell him since it was him who had to make the decision and not her. "All I can offer you is that you need to either pick one, or none at all and move on from them". She sounded cruel to even herself but she was telling him how it was in the real world and if he didn't make a decision, they would eventually move on since he had no word to give them.
-----------------------------------

Lesedi looked back at her old friend and listened to her words. The lioness sighed out and walked over to Marjani, putting a paw on her shoulder. "Do you want me to tell him that I do not love him so you can be with him?" She questioned. In her head, she prayed Marjani wouldn't tell her to, but she wanted her friends to be happy and it seemed like Marjani didn't have a lot of experience with 'love'.

"Because I don't want you questioning yourself over something like this". Lesedi plastered a smile on her face, fake as it might have seemed but she genuinely wanted her friend to be happy.
