I know that I'm the most hated girl in here right now. Especially by the women he used to mess around with or by the ones who wished to be in my shoes.

“Come up here Michael!” Mr Perry is up there too. Everyone cheered and the men blew whistles. I look back at Michael who's smiling at me. He slipped his hands off me.

“Your mine. No one else”. He whispered before walking off. I frown slightly, but shook my head. There's something I can't put my finger on.

I smile watching him moving as the crowd part giving him way.

The media hasn't focussed on me since I avoided Michael. I'm sure they'll be all over my ass now. They only focus on the things Michael does. That's why I think most girls wants him so much. They want to be in the spotlight. I'm not like that. I don't want the world knowing my business.

“Thanks mother”. He said after he took the mic. He smile at Nicolas and they exchanged hugs.

Nicolas must be proud. He then patted Michael's shoulder couple times after they pulled away. He held Eva by the waist leading her from the stairs.

I look around for Monique. Where the hell is she. I hope they didn't leave. Horny asses. I've never seen two people who loves to sex like those two. I mean, they'll do it everyday. I can't blame them. If I'd caught Michael every second I would've driven him crazy, but we both were busy the pass few days so....

I look to my right again after I think I saw... Oh yup. She's standing right there looking up at Michael who started his speech. I'm sure I saw her looking at me a while ago too.

“...And we're looking forward to many more. I remembered the time when I couldn't wait for a night like this, to celebrate my hard-work. My team's hard-work, but now we're at eleven...!”

“Wooo”. The crowd cheered. Michael continued his speech.

“I can see that your deeply inlove with him. It's completely obvious when you look at him”. I look to my left and see my best friend looking at me smiling.

I look back at Michael. “Yeah I really do”. “Both of you deserves each other. Make it work ok”. I nod.

“You see the woman to my right in the yellow dress?” She pretended to be observing the place just to glance at her.

“Yeah”.

“She's the woman I caught Michael with. Leon told me where Michael went and when I found him. I overheard them arguing. For a moment I thought Michael would've betrayed me...But he didn't”.

She sigh and gave me the *I told you so* look. “You should trust him K. You can't live your life watching to see if he'll screw up. It just doesn't make sense. It's like waiting on someone who can't swim to cross the river. Especially when he truly loves you. He's not stupid. He knows that you love him and I'm sure he loves you too. Many of these women here are only here to seduce him, but now you know you have nothing to worry about”. I smile.

“Your right”.

“...I know you want to party, so I won't be too long. I just wanna say that none of this would've been possible if it wasn't for my parents. Mom, dad, I love you”. He smiles looking down at them who's standing in front of the stage.

I look at Monique. “Are Shelia and Henry here?” “Oh yeah. They're somewhere around here with Nicole”. I nod. Good everyone should be here tonight. I look back at Michael smiling. It feel so good to see him standing up there. I feel so good that I'm close to him again.

“Hey. What about that surprise you didn't tell me about?” I smirked. “Oh you'll see”.

“Cant I see it now? I-”. I grabbed her hand when Michael pointed at our direction.

“You see that beautiful lady in that blue dress behind you?”

“This is your spotlight”. She whispered and pushed my hand off. “Monique!” I whisper yelled. She ignored me and walked away before everyone turn around looking at me.

Oh my god. I never thought I'd be so nervous when so many people looks at me. But It's not like a usually speech that I do often. This is different.

I put a smile on my face.

“She's the reason I'm a happy man today. We've been through a lot. She even made me crazy... Literally...”. He chuckled. I can't believe he just admitted that last part in front of the whole world. Yes the world. I'm sure this is gonna be on the celebrity news tomorrow. I doubt they won't believe him, especially if they'd seen the photos of him when he was stressed.

“That's how effective she is. Many things got in the way, but fate brought us back together, and we've decided to make things work”. Everyone is smiling, except for some of the women.

“That's just sweet”. A random woman said.

“Some people may thought that I wasn't capable of love. To all who thinks that, you were wrong, or maybe you were right...”. He shove his hand into his pocket, holding the mic with the next.

“...Maybe I wasn't capable of loving anyone else.....because Akeilia Shaw is my first love”. What? I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"He isn't serious". I heard a random person said. Others whispered a bit too, but faintly. I looked away from everyone and look out to Michael.

“So..now the whole world knows”. I'm his first love? But how? He had women before me. Weren't they worthy of his love?

Breathe K...Just breathe. The shock on these people faces are similar to mine.

“Yes...Your my first love”. A smile crept it's way back on my lips. Even if he's drunk, I'm not worried that what he said was a lie. They say that at that point is where you can get the truth out of someone.

He keeps looking at me with that sexy smile. “Ah..Well everyone, have a great night. Eat drink and party all you want!" The crowd cheers and started to clap.

The music started again and everyone went back to whatever they were doing.

“Now what did you do for Mr Perry son to love you so much”. I turn my head to my left. “Mom”. We hugged each other and giggle.

“How are you doing? How's the wound?” “Its getting better”. We pulled away.

She sigh. “I can't believe my baby has grown so much. I feels like yesterday I had you”. I giggle. “I'm so proud of you”.

“I'm proud of me too mom. Thanks for giving birth to me. Thank you too dad”. I look up in the air and said. Both of us giggled. “Yeah thanks to him too”.

“Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt". A woman said. “Oh no it's fine. I'm gonna talk to Eva and Nicolas. Henry and Shelia will talk to you later. They're kinda caught up at the moment”.

“Yeah no problem. I'll see you”. Mom walked off. Who are these people.

“Hello Miss Shaw”. The brown hair lady addressed. Standing beside her is a guy with jet black wavy hair. “My name is May Summers and this is my husband Jim Summers”. “Hi”.

“We're Michael business associates. It's so nice to meet you”. They stretched they're hands out and I gladly shook them. They looked to be in their late thirties.

“Nice to meet you too”.

“Its full time he settles down”. “Jim”. May lightly elbowed him in his side.

“Sorry about that. Jim is just-”. “Straight up”. He cuts her off.

“Its ok”. I giggled. They both smile at me. “You seem really nice. Please take care of him”. She leaned into me. “He hadn't been so jovial in years”.

I nod. “I will do my best”. Had Michael been that bad. I feel so guilty.

I spot Michael talking to some people. Business associates it seems. They're laughing and he has a champagne glass in his hand. He glanced over at me. I gave him a small smile and pushed a few of my hair threads behind my ears before looking away. His sexy glance makes my belly bubble. Blasting heat throughout my entire body.

May giggled and I look at her. "Well.. It's time for us to get going”. I bet even they saw how much in love I am with him. “We only came here to show our respect. We've got plenty to do. It's was nice meeting you”. I smile and nod. “Thank you for stopping”. “Sure”.

“You have a lovely name by the way”. Jim added before they left.

I glance at Michael again. He sip his champagne and look at my direction. Why won't he stop doing that? That sexy look he gives. I'm sure he knows how much I want to rip his freaking close off when he looks at me that way. He should leave that look until the party is over.

“Akeilia”. Eva said and I looked to my side. Had anyone noticed that I haven't left this spot since 1883? I giggle to myself. As someone moves another appears.

“Its time”.

It's a surprise for you too.

Remember to press the little star.
