"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." ~Emily Bronte

Antonella.

I couldn't breathe so I quick grabbed a glass of whatever it was from a passing waiter, the liquid burned my throat but it was just what I needed. I watched them...him kiss her...they...are...engaged...no..wonder...she..was...at...the...hotel..no...wonder...he...choose..her..over...me.

On the bright side he looks gorgeous. My subconscious commented.

"Are you okay Nella ?"

Oh shit. I forgot my father was sitting right beside me.

"I'm. ..fi.n..e..." I stammered. How can Lukas have such an effect on me ?

I growled when she kissed him one more time.

"I just think they should get all hanky-panky...I mean we get it they are engaged but no need to be all touchy in front of us-" I halted suddenly and my father looked at me with an amused face.

"Did my one and only little girl have a liking to the Senator's son ?" My father grimaced fixing his bow tie when he saw some women checking him out...arghhh why did my father have to be so young and charmingly handsome why isn't he bald and seventy-five or whatever.

"No what pa ?" I crunched my faced in disgust, why would I like him ?

Nah you don't like him. You love him.

"Okay if you say so but there's absolutely nothing wrong with letting your guard down and living a little Nella but I'm not giving you permission to sleep around." He smiled curtly his blue eyes dull.

"Pa, can you not this is awkward." I huffed my cheeks crimson red when I saw Lukas walking to the bar alone and drinking..continuously and all I wanted to do was talk to him but I couldn't I wanted to leave leave.

"I have to go Nella, call me if you need anything." He suddenly stood up kissing my cheek.

"Why where are you going ?" I asked.

"Erm.."

My question was answered when I saw a lady dressed in a navy blue dress with blonde hair approach my father and I.

"Hi, you must be Antonella...your father has told me so many wonderful things about you." She kissed my cheek. I was surprised my father didn't tell me he had someone...

"Nice to meet you too." I smiled and she returned the gesture.

"Nella this is Grace Swanepool, we went to college together." He smiled, i was happy I guess my father spent his entire youth taking care of me I guess he also deserved love.

"Call me Grace, Antonella. You are such a beautiful young lady I never thought Leo was capable of being a single father." Okay that stung.

"He's the best father actually." I curtly replied.

"We should go out some time get to know each other and-"

"Grace we should leave." My father interrupted. "Will you be okay with Anwar ?"

I simply nodded then he kissed my for head before headed out with Grace.

Wow just great this evening couldn't be getting any better. You might be getting a step mom sooner than you thought maybe siblings..

Oh fuck my head hurts.

I looked around and my skipped a bit when Lukas and I made it contact but he quickly turned away when Anwar said something.

Oh so Lukas is Lukinator...noted.

I watched Anwar steading Lukas as he was about to fall. Is he drunk at his own engagement party argh his such a fuckboy.

Your fuckboy you mean.

Argh I'm so hapless.

Anwar left Lukas walking towards me. Finally I can't let him know I want to go home.

"Are you okay..?" He asked concerned.

"Yes, I just w- I'm ready to leave."

"Come on, Nella don't be a cock block. " He said playfully tickling my sides.

"Stop...stop...Anwar we are in public." I laughed turning around this time Lukas's gaze was on me. Our eyes gazing at each other like poles of magnet. I saw the hurt in his eyes but mostly relief.

Was he relieved to see me ?

I don't know why he was vague, as he's glass slipped out of his hands hitting the tiled floor. Everyone suddenly stopped and looked at Lukas before returning to what they were doing. Anwar kept murmuring "Come meet my friend Lukinator you will love him."

Oh God I already do.

"No I can't I'm leaving." Everything I had been holding back was about to crumble down in a split second I needed to be alone. Amanda and Leanne saw everything that happened with Lukas making them appear worriedly next to me.

They kept asking if I was okay, Anwar kept pulling me to meet Lukas...and Lukas was shooting holes through my back...it was too much to handle I couldn't. ..

I stormed out my heels clicking on the tiled floor with every step. Without warning tears were escaping from each eye. I didn't have a ride home and ...I just felt hopeless and I needed to be alone so I went to the ladies washroom. I looked at myself on the mirror was this really me crying over a guy I met in about a month. Luckily no one was in the washroom I rested my head on the basin looking at the floor each tear wearily falling...

"Antonella..." He whispered...oh how I missed this voice.

He stood a few metres away from me, he looked handsome as always but there was something about him in a tux.

"Go away Lukas...don't.talk.to.me..." I snirveled wiping the tears but they kept increasing at the sight of Lukas in front of me.

He walked up close to me and immediately felt my hand slap with left cheek. Why can't I hate him... he was caught of guard he didn't say a word as he studied my face.

"Lukas. Leave. Me. Alone. I. Need. To. Be. Alone. Go. To. Your. Fiancée."

I suddenly gained the strength and stand up to his towering height, there was something in his eyes that told me was in just as much pain as I was.

"LUKAS YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOUR WERE ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED !!! YOU MADE A FOOL OUT OF ME YOU MUNIPULATIVE BASTARD...." I paused tears still visible on my cheeks..."even-though I can't stop loving you.." I muttered I under my breath.

It felt good to say it out loud. I just wanted to scream to the world that I love him but no I couldn't the circumstances wouldn't allow it.

He smiled, his eyes glimmering with desire and love. He closed the space between us. I moved back only to be slammed against the wall, i could feel his rapid breathing as if he was contemplating weather he should kiss me or not. I wanted to so badly. It felt like I had spend forever without him. I wondered how my life was before he turned into up side down but still managed to make me happy.

"Antonella i love you more than my life...what do you do to me ?"

That was all it took for me to realise this was all worth it. He gently smashed his lips onto mine, i could feel the sparks between us. I held my breathe caressing his lips, i didn't want to breathe because he was my breathe...breathing for the both of us. I let my arms hang loose around his neck. I felt a smile form on his lips as we kissed.

His engaged.

I never thought I would say this but i don't care i love Lukas Rieger and I don't mind being a mistress neither.

Married or not.

His mine and am his.
