" Yeah ", I stand up slowly and grab my purse that sat next to me. I saw him eyes travel up and down my body before they landed on my face. I start walking towards the stair case but I feel an arm encase my waist and pull me backwards. His warm hand press against my stomach and he keeps me pulled flush against his back. The fullness of his beard scraps against where my neck and shoulder meet. I close my eyes to keep from physically shivering until I feel something cold against my neck. I realized he had put a necklace on me. I bent my head down to see a beautiful diamond pendant necklace. It glistens and matches my dress.

" This is lovely T'Challa. Thankyou ", I smile at him resting the necklace against my chest.

" Do not mention it. I figured you would want something to finish your look. But you look beautiful. You always do ", he compliments me. I couldn't help the warmth that spread throughout my body when he said that.

" Well Thankyou. You don't look to bad yourself. I wish I had gotten something for you ", I frown.

" Chances are, I already have it. We should get going now, shouldn't we ? ", he suggests. I nod and he offers me his arm down the stairs. He escorts me to a vehicle outside and I noticed two Dora's were sitting towards the front of the long vehicle.

" So they go everywhere with you ? ", I ask.

" Unfortunately, most times yes. However, there are times I can dismiss them. Of course they are still under my fathers orders so they will only go so far. They accompany me on car rides but they aren't breathing down my throat every second like when I was a child long ago ", he explains.

" Well, at least you know that your people care about you and your well being ", I counter.

" Yes but I'm far from a boy now. I was given the role of Black Panther to protect and serve. Really the security is for my Father's piece of mind but the Dora's make excellent fighting partners. They are more so soldiers than bodyguards. Nevertheless, it's nice to know somebody has your back ", he explains.

" Absolutely ", I agree.

The car started moving and the darkness of outside engulfed us. I noticed how the jewelry in his hands glinted in the light. The warmth of his body heated radiated on the side of my exposed skin. I could see eyes on me and I turned my head to meet his. Somehow I can see his eyes through the darkness and I quickly snap my head forward.

" Where are we going ? ", I ask.

" You will see  ", he soothed.

Pretty soon it wasn't long before I smelt ocean water. We approached the beach, tiny lights came into view and that's when I realized there was a huge boat on the water. I couldn't even call this a yatcht, more like a double mansion on water. I gasped lowly at it's massive size. Before I could process anything we were walking out of the car and heading towards the dock. We were followed by Dora's while we entered the ship. I noticed them stay at the entrance when we walked ahead.
