Blame it on the palm wine pt 2
Summary: W'kabi leaves Okoye and another man takes the opportunity
P'áatal ti' mak a chi'ex= stay silent
As General Talokanil had predicted, Okoye had caught a bad cold the next day, she couldn't move, her muscles were sore. Her head was spinning and rumbling. It was just hell, she checked her phone and as she expected there were a lot of missed calls from her, M'baku, Shuri, Ayo, Aneka and Nakia, she texted to reassure them. She heard someone knocking, she got up and opened it was just the postman.
"The Divorce file has finally arrived" Okoye immediately opened the envelope, read it for a while and immediately signed, felt sick again and went back to bed. Suddenly the phone rang and he answered it
"Okoye it's me Nakia, how do you feel?"
"I just caught a cold, I should be back to training in a few days" she explained blowing her nose
"I'm sorry, what about the other problem?"
"If you mean divorce between me and W'kabi, I'm fine, I’m happy I don't have him around anymore" he heard children laughing
"Actually I'm in Wakanda, Talokanil youth are here for cultural exchange"
"Yes, however, I'm near the river if you want to come"
"If you are worried about taking care of children, there is a supervisor with them, it is Attuma"
"Yeah, I'm still not feeling well"
"Okay, I'll come and visit you , with a nice pepper soup"
"Thank you" the call ended, she curled up under her blanket.
It would be too strange to be next to him with Nakia in, and besides they're working, it's better not to distract them.
Okoye immediately opened the envelope. She was too tired to think seriously, the only thing she knew was that after yesterday's scene, in which she was drunk and in his arms, she didn't want to see him, precisely she didn't want to be seen. The medicines she had been taking were making their affection, slowly her eyes became heavier until she fell asleep.
Nearby Nakia was explaining to visitors the different tribes of the kingdom and how they were divided. The general remained silent throughout the visit trying to put the young people in their place.
"P'áatal ti' mak a chi'ex" the man said getting them silent
" Okay this is the end of the tour, tomorrow you are going to see the Dora Milaje you can swim" the woman said pointing to the river, they didn't get told a second time they dived, the younger children stood next to the general
"Thanks for visiting," she said
" What is that?" he asked, pointing to the container she was holding
"It contains pepper soup, it's for Okoye. She caught a cold that will make her feel better," she explained as she walked away, her gaze didn't leave her.
Nakia arrived at her friend's house, opened the door with some extra keys.
"Okoye it's me Nakia" she announced but no answer, she walked into the bedroom, and saw her friend snuggled up against her, shaking her gently.
"Nakia hi" Okoye whispered still asleep, Nakia placed a hand on her forehead
"The fever seems to have subsided a bit, drink some soup"
"Have you finished with the visit?"
"Yes, I'm in the river, let's go out behind the porch"
"Um no.. I don't want to"
"I can't leave them out alone, and you can't stay in bed get some fresh air" she said helping her up
They went out and sat on the ground, putting their bare feet in the water and saw the Wakandan youth playing with the Talokanil one.
"Nice to see they're not scared"
" It's us adults who need to stop being afraid and change"
"Well it's a change that they accepted my divorce and didn't enforce polygamy," she said casually
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'll be back in a moment" the warrior said before returning, a few minutes later she returned with a plate of sugar cane
"I'm fine, it's just that I've been married for years, I've been a Dora Milaje for years, now I'm neither, what do I do?" she asked as she sucked down the sugar cane.
"Do you feel lost and don't know what to do? After his death I didn't know what to do anymore, having him by my side for so many years was comfortable but now that he’s no longer here I feel uncomfortable, something is missing"
"And how did you overcome the discomfort"
"You, Shuri, Queen Ramonda the whole of Wakanda was with me, sometimes it's very difficult but I know there is someone by my side and I'm not completely alone"
"And then you can always remarry like he did" she added, the ex Dora Milaje looked at her
"What? Is no one worthy of the great Okoye? What should the man be to be worthy of you"
"I've just divorced, but the man I want must be...." and before she could answer, they heard laughter. Little children were climbing over the Talokanil general faking to be warriors like him
"If I've never seen him in battle, I'd think he's a docile man"
"Uhm" Okoye hummed in agreement, she had never seen him smile, he was quite handsome
"You know I was a little worried, I was worried how civilians would react after the attack, and consequently I was worried how the Talokanils would react to possible hostility, but thanks to Bhast everything is going smoothly"
" Everything will be alright" she said making her firend smile
" I'm happy to hear it from you Okoye" she patted her back
"In rindo, I surrender" he laughed, he realized that a pair of eyes were staring at him, he turned and saw the warrior return her head the other way.
Hours passed, the sun was setting, and the visitors went to their lodgings accompanied by Nakia, leaving the two warriors alone.
"Do you like soup?" she asked
"Yes, especially all the seasonings" he replied coughing from the spiciness, she handed him a glass of water giggling
"Thank you, how are you feeling?"
"Well, that is, I feel better than before," he suddenly took off his mask, and placed his lips on his rival's forehead.
" What you are doing?" she asked shocked
" I'm taking your temperature, the lips are the most sensitive part of the body, you’re still very feverish”
"Warn me when you want to do something like this"
"The thing you just did...." he looked at her confused, she sighed
"You could create misunderstandings"
"Forget it, I'm the one creating misunderstandings" she said standing up, suddenly she slipped grabbing his arm, closed her eyes as if she could ease the pain of the fall.
"Geurrero, are you hurt?" felt her Attuma's lips caress her face, opened her eyes, and as she expected he was on top of her
"No, thanks to you," she whispered,she just couldn't take her eyes off his.
"Shouldn't you put your mask back on?" she asked, trying to avoid her gaze, which seemed to undress her.
"The water is pretty close" he whispered, his lips brushed her neck, a small moan escaped her lips, at that moment she knew she had to get up and walk away, but he locked her arms and she couldn’t move
"Attuma let me go" he raised his head
"I would never do something you don't like, but are you sure you want me to let you go?" he asked, shewas asking between herself, why was she feeling so safe when he was around, why was he talking as if he really cared.
She didn't give him an answer, but took him by his face and their lips touched. It was just like the previous day they were close, she thought it was the effect of alcohol that gave off that strange heat, every time he touched her that heat released.
His large hands were caressing her figure until he pulled them under her shirt making her moan more audible and she caressed his chest, he unhooked her bra and fondled her breasts .
" A....Attuma I am marr...." she wailed
"Not anymore" he licked her neck and pinched her nipples, the air was getting thick, the only thing she could hear were their moans, breaths and the rush of water. Their actions were becoming more irreversible until one call stopped them, it was Nakia.
"Nakia.....is there a problem?" she said standing up
"Is Attuma still on the river?"
"Yes later" he turned and the warrior was in the water
"Take care of yourself," he said swimming away
"Yeah, you too" she walked back inside, lay down on the sofa
"What did I just do?" thought were racing in her head, she touches her lips were they plumpy, were they itchy from the spiciness of the soup or from him biting into them?
The only thing shewas sure of, she was not going to sleep that night
