(Final_ )

Toni: “what the hell!”Steven scream and
i jump off the bed with a start. I turn to him and frown. “what’s going on?”i ask and he
just keep mumbling while
gesturing to his feet. My brain kicks awake at
the sight of the red nail polish and i stiffle a laugh. “this isn’t funny antonia!”he yells
and i burst into fake tears. “a-m sorry. I thought maybe
you’ll like it.”i sob out and his face
softens. “awwn. Don’t cry baby. Ofcourse i
love it. Its beautiful. A work of art. Thanks.”he says and i wipe
my tears. “since you love it so much, why
don’t i paint your fingernails too?” “we are going to be late. Go get
ready”Steven says to change the subject and i let him. Yea, nelly
was right. Throwing pregnancy tantrums can used to one’s
advantage. I take myself to the bathroom
where i laugh. In two hours, we are done
preparing. I look at the mirror and
nod my head in approval of my looks. I
really do love my outfit. “wow antonia, you look
amazing”Steven says and i twirl
around laughing. Steven walks to me. “oh no. Something’s missing.”he
says and caress my neck. “what’s missing?” i ask and touch
my neck. My hand touches a chain
and Steven grin. I rush to the toilet
mirror. Wow, its beautiful. I go back to Steven in the living room. “so, do you like it?”he asks “i love it. Especially the locket.” i
caress the silver bottle locket attached to the chain. “it represents our beginning
seeing as i was drunk when i met
you. I designed it and sent the picture to
a jeweler in Paris to have it made.”Steven says. “wow, that’s so romantic”i laugh
and Steven smiles. “okay, enough of the chit chat.

Lets move it”Steven says and grab
my hand, leading me downstairs to
the car. He opens the passenger
door for me and bows. “your highness”he says and i
giggle. I hop into the car then pat
his head. “thank you good and faithful
palace guard”i say and Steven
burst into laughter. He shakes his head at
me and moves to his side of the
car. We drive to the party in
companionable silence.

Throughout our drive, my hands are on my locket. Wow,
i cant believe he made me a
necklace. We arrive at the party before it
starts and i help nelly who is ecstatic to see me again arrange
things. By 11:00am the party
kicks off and its the most fun I’ve had in
a long time as i watch the kids dance and compete at different
games. The parents’ games are
mostly hilarious. Nelly force Steven and i
to participate in one of them. Its a game in which five couples
dance around four chairs and
when the music stop, we sit carrying our
partner. The couple without a
chair loses. Steven is really competitive
and we make it to the last level with aother couple comprising of
a fat woman and her skinny wife.
The fat woman who has been carrying
her husband each time they sit, is also o determine to win. “you are going down”she sneer
at me and Steven sticks his tongue
out to her. “not gonna happen”Steven says. “come on, Steven. Lets just let
them win. Its just a game”i plead
but Steven isn’t listening. He’s
currently Participating in a stare
off with the woman. I look to the
woman’s husband and he eyes
me. Ok, lets do this. “Steven, permission to crush
them”i say and he grins. The
music starts and we dance around the only
chair available. The music stops
and Steven and i are directly in front of
the chair. Steven goes to sit but stops when he sees the
woman diving towards us. Oh no.

She’s gonna run into me and it would hurt. I
want to move but shock is
pinning me to the spot. I close my eyes
waiting for the impact but i only
feel hands drag me away. I open my
eyes to see Steven behind me with
his hand over my tummy in a
protective manner. I look beside
me to see the woman on the chair with her
husband. “am sorry we lost the game
because of me” i tell Steven as we
walk to our seat “you mean more to me than a
stupid game. Infact there is no comparison”he says and my heart
swoons. Nelly comes to us to
apologise and we just laugh it off. Nelly
looks agitated. “hey, are you okay”i ask her “actually, today is kindof my
anniversary. Its the day i met my husband and i hired a musician to
surprise my husband with the
song from our first movie date. But he’s
not here yet”she says biting her nails “oh, umm Steven can help you
with that. He’s a really good
singer” i say and her face brightens. “would he agree to do it?” she
asks. “I’ll convince him” “thanks. You’re a love saver”she
giggles and i shake my head as
she walks away. Turns out Steven is
shy of crowd. But after much persuasion and some bribing, i
finally got him to agree.

Thankfully he knows the song. “so next up, my brother Steven
singing ’till i met you'”nelly says
and everybody applauds. Steven
walks to the Mic and clears his
throat. “so um this song is for my sis and
her husband. Its actually their anniversary today so um hahaha,
here’s the song.”i stiffle my laugh where i stand. He’s so nervous. I never dream cause i always though that
dreaming was for kids. Just a childish thing. And i could swear love is just a game that children
play and no more than a game. Till i met you i never knew what love was Till i met you This feeling seems to grow more
everyday I love you more each day Now i could swear love is not a game that children
play So tell me that you stay you and i should be together cant you see cant you see Till i met you Till i met you The whole room erupts in
applauds and i cant breathe. It
was like that song was meant for me. I see
Steven walking towards me and i
rush to hug him. “you were amazing”i say and
sniffle “hey baby, don’t cry”he says and
catches a tear with his thumb. “come on, lets get out of here”he
says and drag me to the car. I feel so overwhelm. I cant keep my
feelings inside anymore. I have to
tell him, i still love him. I place my
hand on his right hand and he smiles. I cant wait to get home so i
could confess my feelings. Steven: i poured my heart into that song.

It said everything that i want to tell antonia. She seemed to love
the song. I feel her warm palm on
my my hand and i entwine them
together. She doesn’t protest and
my heart swells. We hold hands while i
drive until antonia receives a call. I can only hear her side of the
conversation but the mention of
monseiur Charles is enough to scatter my
hopes. She doesn’t talk much. She keeps glancing while taking the
call. She promises to call them
later. I totally forgot about Paris. She
going to leave me soon. The rest
of the ride is silent. I open the door
for her when we get to the hotel but do not follow when i get a call.

My mom just committed suicide.
As if the night couldn’t get any
worse. I walk nimbly to the
elevator. As soon as i enter my suite, antonia
walks to me. Her smile falls when she notices my expression. “are you okay, Steven”she asks
and i just burst out in tears. She
hugs me and pat my back. “my mom is dead”i sob out and
she tells me everything would be
okay but i know it wouldn’t. She will be
leaving soon. Suddenly, i am desperate. I start kissing her neck.

She m0ans and my lips move all over her face then to her lips. She
doesn’t stop me and i keep
kissing her. Soon, my shirt is off and i am
pushing her backwards to our
room without breaking our kiss. Still,
she doesn’t stop me. We fall into bed our hands everywhere. “Steven”she whisper my name
and i freeze. What am i doing?. I
cant do this just to lose her. I pull away
from her and she m0ans her disapproval “stop”i say “what’s wrong?” “i cant do this. It isn’t right. I cant
take that you will be leaving to Paris soon”she looks surprise “yes, i know about your chef
internship programme in Paris. I
won’t stop you antonia. I want you to
be happy and i know that has
always been your dream. I don’t want to
get hurt when you leave so i cant bear to lose another person i love.

I am sorry. You should leave tomorrow. I won’t hold you back
anymore.” i say and walk out of
the room. I grab my shirt from the
floor and put it on. I lie on the
couch for hours without falling asleep. The sun rises without sleep thing
me. I wait some hours before walking into the room and
antonia is all packed and ready. I
cant seem to help the hurt i feel. ‘You told her
to leave and she’s doing just that’ i chastise myself. The drive to
the airport is silent and so is our walk to boarding room. Turns
out antonia already bought a
ticket. I hold myself from breaking down
as she walks away with my heart.

As soon as she board the plane. I
slump on the floor and let the
tears fall. “hey, a grown man should be
sitting on the floor”someone says
and i raise my head to see antonia
smiling down at me. “what?. The plane. You. Your
dream. Paris”i mumble. “Steven, i could never leave you.

You are my dream. I love you so
so much. Which brings me to the
question; will you marry us?”she
says and goes down on one kneel. I rub
my eyes to make sure i am not
dreaming this. “I’m real baby and i need your
answer so i can get off the
floor”she laughs “ofcourse I’ll marry you” i raise
her up gently and kiss the air out
of her. **************
