THROUGH THE SANDS OF TIME

20: NEF THE HEALER

~~ CLARRISA ~~

What the hell does he thinks of himself ? Kissing me ? No , he won't get anything out of this .
I stomped my way to the lush gardens .
I sat on my usual spot talking to that marble friend of mine .
" Hey again ! I know he saved me but it didn't get the licence to kiss me . Such a jerk ."

" Who is the jerk ? " the male voice asked me . Making me jump again .
I turned back to look at the man .
He was so handsome , my breath was stuck .

" Oh sorry , my manners .
I'm Aparatuk ." He introduced himself .
He stuck his hand out .
" May I know who this beautiful lady is ?"

" Oh , my name is Nefertiti. Nice to meet you ." I said as I shook his hand .

" So Who was the person ? " he enquired .

" I don't want to spoil my mood talking about that spoilt brat ." I crossed my arms , making him chuckle .

" So ? You're here . I mean I've never seen you out here ."

" I'm Lord of Lower Kemet , I work for Pharaoh ." He said .
I nodded .

" So Nefertiti, you're from ?"

" Oh call me Nef , it's too long . " he laughed .
" I know it's gonna sound little weird but you gotta trust me ." He nodded .
" I lost my memory , I was picked up my Khaira , wife of high priest." I explained.
He nodded .

" You've beautiful eyes and hair ." He complimented .

" Thank you ."

" Hey , do you know how to do sword fighting and self defence ?" I asked him .
He nodded .

" can you teach me ? Please! " I begged .

" Of course . Meet me in the practising ring at dawn ." I nodded .

" If you don't mind asking me , why do you want to learn it ?"

" Well I can't always count on others to defend me , so I need to know ."

" You never cease to amaze me , first by your beauty then by your self dependence . " I blushed at that .

" Aparatuk ! " Amunet came running in his arms making him fall . I laughed at this .

" Slow down girl ! I don't want to die in front of this beautiful lady ." I chuckled .

" Brother ! Thank God you came , I can't handle Ahmose alone ."

" Brother ?" I asked confused .

" Oh , this is Aparatuk , my step brother . "
Amunet introduced me .

" Where is Mother ?"

" I'm sorry , she couldn't come a bit busy ." He explained making Amunet pout .

" I think you met Nefertiti."

" I'm happy that I did ." He said winking at me , making me blush .

" So Ladies ! Where's my ass brother ?"
I laughed .

" Probably cutting someone's tongue ." I commented making him laugh .

" So Nef , Mind strolling ?" He asked me as he came closer , his arms frictioning against mind making me shudder .

" Why not , I'd love to have a company." I smiled .

" Ah ! No ! Nefertiti you have to come with me I need you to help me out with something ." Amunet said interrupting me . Her hands spiralling against my waist pushing me with her .
