Jerome's POV

Everyone stood aside while we danced. The song eventually ended and I was dismayed. Applause filled my ears. They found us entertaining. I stood back to give Becca the spotlight and I joined in with the applause. She was ecstatic and blissful. I held her hands and pulled her in my embrace as a slower song 'Hero' by the same artist was sang by himself. "Enrique Iglesias!" Becca screamed in amazement. "Surprise!" I smiled. "So that's what the call was for?" I nodded at her intelligence. "Thank you" She smiled endearingly then hugged me tightly. I held her. I could hold her like this all night. "Anything for you" I smiled. We held each other's eyes in place. I couldn't break away the stare as she couldn't either. "Becca" I whispered "Rome" She answered. "Am sorry for what happened five years ago. I know I let you go and it was the worst mistake I ever made." I told her the truth but suddenly her charming smile turned around. Fuck! What have I just done? I ruined the moment again. "You left me!" She screamed. "But I said am sorry!" I tried to calm her down. "Sorry? That can't take back the pain and depression I fell into for so many years" She scoffed then walked away from me but I held her hand. "I waited for you for so long but you never came. Now you're here but you're already taken" She said with tears welling up. I didn't make another utterance. I couldn't possibly find another remark than am sorry but that was too light for such a heavy argument. "Let's see the talented couple give us a kiss!" Enrique uttered through the mic then all eyes and spotlight landed on us. "But am not Cindy!" Becca cursed under her breath through gritted teeth. Of course not! Becca was too... extraordinary to be such a trick. I can't believe I just said that about my wife. Well maybe I didn't want her to be. I accept my feelings for Becca. I love her unconditionally! It took me this long to admit it so I had to tell her. She is leaving tomorrow so I only had couple hours left. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The roaring crowd bellowed through the hotel. Even Enrique was pursuing the kiss. "You are so malevolent. Not only cocky but ignorant as well. You brought me here to humiliate me. Everyone here thinks am Cindy" Becca continued to babble. I tuned out her voice. All I could hear was the order. "Kiss her!" I saw it all in slow motion. Her sound was voiceless. I couldn't hear her cussing. I could only see the movement of her strawberry lips. They were calling me. I bet they taste like starburst. Enough imagining. I pulled her in my arms and crashed my lips against hers. I ran my lips up and down her lips. The crowd gone silent. I guess they were satisfied. She opened her mouth and I got more access. I took the opportunity to have her in my arms, tasting her appealing mouth and running my fingers across her slender figure. She did the same. The kiss deepened and I gave it my all. She was leaving tomorrow and I hope this was enough to let her know how I felt about her. The crowd applauded our making out. We took over 5 minutes just standing in the midst of the audience draining each other's mouth. The kiss was brimming with ecstasy. Chills ran up and down my spine. I never feel this amount of fire when I am with Cindy before. I held her as tightly as I could. I think if I let her go she was going to vanish so I took my chance to embrace her as never before. I opened my eyes during the kiss to see her eyes shut and her lips vibrating in my mouth as she murmured in agony. We had to break away to catch our breaths so we did.
