Chapter 23
While I couldn't update. I wrote a lot down in a note book, so I have plenty and fast updates to do. It'll make up for the times that I couldn't :) Thanks so much for waiting.
As soon as we reached the stairs, both of us stopped. We hold our dresses up just over our feet so we won't fall and began to descend the stairs looking ahead of us.
A few persons started looking at us. Then more and even more.
I searched the crowd for Michael, but soon see him drinking champagne standing beside Leon and a few other guys chatting with smiles on their faces.
Michael put the glass at his lips to take a sip again but stopped and looked our direction. Yes! He shouldn't miss this moment. Both he and Leon is now looking us, then the rest of the guys.
Michael continues to gaze at me.
Do you know the look when you saw something beautiful that you didn't expect to see or just overall surprised. Yeah, that's how Michael is looking at me right now.
A huge smile formed on his lips as he watched me.
He and Leon are in the same suit just as I expected. But Michael is in blue while Leon is in...I don't even have to say it.
Michael is in a bright blue pants and jacket with his white undershirt showing as if he purposely left couple buttons unbuttoned and the same for Leon and both of them are in black pointed front shoes. They're so hot.
Everyone here is dressed formal. Not everyone is in long dresses like us, but some are and they have different styles and patterns.
I saw Michael touched Leon with his elbow. They hand their champagne glass to the men standing beside them, then started to walk towards us.
"They're coming Akeilia. Ohhh I feel like a princess everyone's watching". Monique softly said.
FLASHBACK
"There's a guy behind you staring at us". She cuts me off to say.
"Who?".
"Don't turn around".
"Who is it?". I asked curiously frowning.
"He's hot". She keep making glances at him with her hand on her cheek not wanting him to see her mouth moving and trying not to show her girly excitement.
"He's coming over". She said tapping my hand rapidly.
"What? Over here? Towards us?". I whispered.
"Yes".
"For what?". I asked nervously.
"What a question to ask me. Shhh". She whispered.
PRESENT
I giggled a bit remembering that.
The only difference from then to now is that, Michael isn't coming from behind me clueless. He's moving towards me and he knows exactly who he's coming to and the reason.
They both stopped at the base of the stairs. Suddenly the song alters to {Still by Brian McKnight}
This person they hired for the music sure knows how to chip in a good mood.
I glanced all around the room. My eyes stopped at a hand waving.
Eva?
She's standing beside the selector, smiling using the hand signal, rushing me to reach Michael. Mom waved to me and I smile even more. I've missed her.
We're finally at the base of the stairs standing on the last step, both Monique and I.
Our men stretched their right hand towards us smiling. We gladly took it smiling.
We stepped down. I glanced and saw some people going back to what they were doing.
My undivided attention is now to my handsome boyfriend.
"You look...". He slowly shake his head from left to right lustfully looking at me up and down.
"...Drop dead gorgeous babe". He let hold of my hand, stepped beside me and wrapped his hand around my waist.
"You don't look so bad yourself". We started to walk.
"Do you like your present?"
"Hmmm nnnot really, it could've been better". He look down at me.
"Very well then I'll get you something better next time". I giggled and stop.
I look up at him and he's smiling. its because he already knows that I'm kidding.
"You made this dress look really hot". He cup my cheeks and peck my lips. "Your beautiful baby". I smile with joy running up and down my chest. I love this new feeling.
I glanced around a bit and saw a few ladies looking at us with glares. Mostly at me, but I don't care.
Oh my god. Is that the woman I saw sucking his d*ck five years ago?
I'd recognize that b*tch anywhere. "What the hell is she doing here?" I muttered before realizing that I said it a little too loud. "What..Who are you talking about?"
I look at him and smile. “Nothing, don't worry about it”. Being skeptical of the sincerity of my smile, he look at the direction I was looking and frown. He look back at me. “Can you please not think about that right now?” He exhale through his nostrils then gave me an innocent look.
Come on your a grown woman now. That was the past. This is our future. Enjoy it.
I nod and hugged him. “I love you sooo much Michael. I just can't stand the feeling I get thinking of you with someone else. It hurts”.
He wrapped his huge arms around me. I've never felt this way about anyone before and it scares me. At moments I feel like ending this before it goes any further to prevent myself from getting hurt again. I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle it. I love him too much.
“I will do my best to make you happy. I don't need you to worry about that. I'm in control of my life. No one else”. He softly responded. He gave me a small squeeze before we gently pull away. I smile looking into his sexy eyes and nod.
“None of these women matter to me. Your the one I'm concerned about. I need you to be happy. I.. wanna make you happy”. He gently brushed the back of his fingers across my cheek.
"Will you allow me to do that baby?" He asked waiting for my response.
I nod. “Yes..I will”. A smile form on his lips then he leaned in and peck mine. I close my eyes as I feel him slowly moving towards my ears.
“I wanna make up for the days I've been busy”. I suddenly feel this familiar tingle at my down. He removed his head smirking at me.
“Can I please borrow my friend now Mr Perry?” Monique interrupted before I could say anything. He threw his hands up. “But.. Monique what the hell? I haven't even-”.
“Listen you...”. Monique pointed. “I can't tell the last time I spent some good time with Akeilia. You had her here for days and guess what rich boy...”. She trailed off and place her hands on her hips.
I couldn't help but giggle. I always loved to watch Michael and her argue, especially over me.
“You freaking restricted me from communicating with her”. He straighten himself and look at me with guilt, but I just smiled.
Monique grabs my hand. “I'll be her date tonight pretty boy. We have plenty to catch up on. I divorced Leon for the night, so he's all yours. Ba bye”. Michael was gonna say something but she pulled me before he could even start. I look behind me and smile. He just shook his head smiling.
“Leon..honey”. She nervously said. I turn my head and see Leon standing right in front of her with his arms crossed and a raised eyebrow. How cute.
He hold his index finger up. “tsk tsk tsk. I'm divorced for the night. Ba bye”. I heard Michael chuckle behind me. Monique and I giggle before we walked off.
“So...”. We stopped at the wall where the exit is, but we're far from it. “Did you say anything to Michael about the pregnancy? I saw both of you hugging. What did he say?”
I look away from the huge crowd. “I'm not even sure that I am. I'm gonna ask Eva for a pregnancy test- what the hell am I saying? It would be too young to show anyways”.
She smile. “Yeah that's what I was going to tell you... mention it to him and you'll know what his intention of you carrying his child is”. This feels scary.
“Leon did something to me when he thought that I was pregnant. I asked him why he did it and he explained”. She walked in front of me. My eyes widen while my heart rate increases.
She look at my face and laughed. “Don't widen your eyes like that. I'm not going to check if your dying. Just take a deep breathe and relax”. I did as she instructed.
She lay her index finger on the pressure point at my neck. I started looking around. Sara.
Sara look at our direction then look away. Suddenly she stopped and started walking over here.
I'm so happy that I'm able to update again. My other phone automatically updated this chapter when it was incomplete. It wasn't working properly and I don't like to use the laptop and even that isn't so hundred either lol. Anyways Everything is OK now.
Do you think Akeilia is pregnant?
