Chosen By The King Of Aberdeen

Episode 6

"Naomi?" He called, for some reason, her name felt so smooth like something he's been calling all the time.

"Yes, did.." she stopped, her mouth parted in a thin line when she met his gaze, In a hurry, she lowered it and folded her arms over her tummy.

Oh my goodness!, Is he here because I didn't take his gifts?- she thought to herself, already fidgeting as she stood not so far from him.

"Look up" he requested, still on the same spot.

Naomi's head lifted slowly and was finally facing him directly but her gaze was still low.

"Congratulations, You did well" she bulged her eyes and looked sideways, realizing that he was actually in the hall when they awarded her.

"Thank you, Your Highness" she bowed and released a nervous smile.

"Will you go with me to receive the gifts you rejected now?" The words came at her at the time she wasn't expecting it so she was dumbstruck for some moment's.

"Talk, will you?" He urged as she was taking too long to respond to his questions.

"I'm sorry, your highness, I'm not feeling too well and I think I'll have to leave" she bowed again and turned to leave, he stood firmly in front of her, she would've flinched if her leg wasn't tightly glued to the ground but a gasp escaped her mouth from the shock.

"I guess you like running from everything, go on" he uttered and moved to the other side, giving her the free access to excuse herself from him.

A part of her want to stay and apologize just in case she's made him annoyed, the other part of her feels scared to stand alone with the king in such place so without thinking further, she stepped away from him.

"I don't know what to call this" he breathed out softly and went back into the hall, his guards were already waiting for him and they didn't waste another second as they went straight to the car.

"Your highness, you haven't had breakfast yet, maybe we can just…"

"No need, I'll rather starve than miss where we are going" he replied bluntly and requested for his phone.

Khalid tried looking up for her name on his social media but nothing came up, he went to the school's website to search for her but could only find her admission picture.

She's just so unexplainable- he thought, leaning back as the car climbed through the thick bush, the way to her house seems hard.

"Don't you dare call that girl for help?" Moore yelled at Nasa, Naomi's sister.

"But you wouldn't give me what I want, she'll give me!" She countered back, clutching the phone tightly to her chest.

"I'll try and give you, don't add to the problems she's facing" Moore whined, stamping her feet angrily on the floor, she was tired of running after her as if she's a 4-year-old girl.

"I don't believe you"' she held the phone out and was about to click on Naomi's line when Moore grabbed the TV remote from the table and chased after her.

As they got outside of the house, Moore was standing in opposite side of Nasa, they kept going round and round but she finally got fed up of chasing her and turned to leave.

"You're just too stubborn for my liking!" She throws the remote in her direction, Nasa was quick to dodge it and it landed on Khalid's head instead.

"Oh my goodness!" Both mother and daughter's hand fall on their mouth.

"What have you done?!" One of the bodyguards who rushed to stand in front of Khalid yelled at them.

"I'm so sorry, it was..

"Let it go, it's such a wonderful way to welcome me to their abode" Khalid laughed out loud, everyone peered at him like, this situation doesn't calls for laughter?, Why's he laughing.

"Pay your respect to The King of Aberdeen"

I thought his face looked so familiar, what's he doing in our house?- Nasa thought, amidst bowing to him.

"Is Naomi your daughter?, If she's, let me in your house" he uttered so boldly, not hiding anything.

"Yes, she's my daughter, but…did she crossed her boundary or I'm so sorry, please forgive my daughter" Moore falls to the ground, she knew clearly that Naomi isn't the type to offend anyone, she'll agree if it was with Nasa but since it wasn't just anyone but the king, she'll just have to apologize.

"Help her up, your daughter did nothing wrong, actually she did, she committed a crime by stealing my heart" her eyes bulged at what he said.

Moore feared to let him into their shabby house but he agreed to just go in, Nasa wouldn't stop smiling and giggling as if she was dreaming.

If this is true, then I'll become The Queen's sister!!- she thought… yayyy!!- she screamed out unknowingly.

"What are you doing?, Can't you pack those things away from there?" Moore slapped her shoulder and glared at her.

"Your highness, I'm really sorry, I don't know how to attend to you and my husband isn't around right now so.." she hummed slowly, anyone could see the fear and nervousness in her voice.

"It's fine, I'll wait for the head of the house" he nods his head and sat comfortably on their couch which was half damaged.

During the time that he sat in their living room, he couldn't stop looking around and for a second, he thought about giving her room a quick peek but it might sound awkward to them so he decided to hold it in.

Moore leaned against the kitchen's wall, trying to get through Naomi Because she can't seem to believe what was happening.

"If you're trying to call her, it won't be useful, because she doesn't know that I'm here, the announcement should be made later on" he gawk into her direction, she froze up as she didn't know that he was looking at her.

"I understand" she replied and dropped the phone on the high table, she's just waiting for her husband's arrival.

A little while later….

"What's all these cars?" Naomi's father who was dancing on his way back home stopped a step closer to the cars.

"Hello?" The face he met made him looked away, his eyes stomped on the royal logo on the top of the car but he shook his head and walked inside.

"Grey??" Moore called when she saw him walk in through the door, he read her eyes so fast so he knew a bit about what was going on.

"Your highness" he paid his respect by lowering his head, how come he recognizes him so fast?

"It's a pleasure to meet with the father of my queen" Khalid uttered, Grey had to look back at his wife, this wasn't getting to him.

"I'll have to cut the long story short, I want your Daughter, Naomi to be my Queen, I don't know how she wants to takes it, she likes it or not, The Royal Car will be sent to get her tommorow!" He relayed his message and sprang up on his legs.

"We'll surely obey your orders" Grey's voice cracked as he muttered to him.

He left their house after delivering loads of gifts that's worths millions to them, they thanked and over thanked him but there was still a place in their heart that's bothered by what he actually came to do.

As soon as he left, they all sat down to rethink deeply about what he brought unto them.

"Grey?, What do we do?" Moore asks, it's something they should be happy for but they don't know how their daughter will take this.

"We do nothing.…call her and let her know that she's needed at home" he folded his arms under his chin, he only came home to announced the good news about his new job that he just got offered but he couldn't even bring himself to say anything.

"Hello mom?" Naomi mumbled,she was eating breakfast in her room.

"Hello my dear, how are you?" Moore never acts like this and that alone makes her wonder.

"Is anything wrong?, Why's your voice like this?" Naomi pushes her food away, focusing her attention to her mom.

"I'm fine daughter, it's because I just woke up" she lied.

"Oh okay, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Yes, you have to come home as early as possible by tomorrow" she said to her, Naomi first shook her head as that was just too sudden.

"Oh okay, I'll be there but I have classes by 8, I'll attend the class and come afterwards"

"No!!" Moore screamed.

"Don't go for the classes!"
