"I'm in love with you Mary-Anne, you're the best the that happened to me, ever since you poured your yogurt on me when we were kids, I was captured by your beauty, and I got to know you more. . . " he paused for a moment before continuing.

"I realized that you weren't only beautiful, you were smart, understanding and everything. You have stuck with me through everything, and I know we are still young. . . So don't worry, I'm not proposing, yet. I'm giving you this ring to symbolize my love for you."

Mary was flabbergasted, her knees buckled as he slid the ring into her thin fingers, it was simply yet beautiful; she was loss of words.

I'm never taking this off. She thought.

Everything was perfect, he was in love with her! She felt the same. Her heart wanted to jump out of her ribcage, "hey, why are you crying?"

She hadn't noticed the tears falling, "I'm sorry, I'm just, oh my. Duncan it's perfect, I love you too." With that said, she sealed the deal with a passionate kiss.

He pulled a chair out for her to seat, "mmmh, this looks lovely." She complimented, her mouth was watering, ready to eat.

He sent his usual grin and placed a piece on her plate. The night was spent with a lot of laughs and a lot of kisses. They were young and they knew their limit, nothing more than kisses and cuddles.

After dinner, the couple went up into Duncan's room and spent the rest of the night watching movies and eating junk food. . . And by then Ana was fast asleep, Duncan could imagine his sister snoring now, she was definitely full; because he had prepared pizza for her as well.

But what he didn't know was that Ana was on the phone with her new friend, his name was Henry. They met in Ana's restaurant when he asked the waiter to personally thank the chef on his behalf. Ana came over to his table and one thing lead to another and they became friends.

Ana genuinely liked Henry because he was nice, caring, and always made her laugh.

"The best restaurant in New York awards is coming up, what do you say if we go together?" Ana asked Henry.

The best restaurants in NYC awards, is an award giving ceremony in which chefs, restaurant owners and prestigious people get rewarded for their hard work and tasty delights.

He was silent for a moment probably doing a happy dance, "sure thing, just text me the color of your dress."

"Hum, who says I'm wearing a dress?" She playfully asked.

"Gosh Ana I didn't know you were that dirty, so you're planning on going naked?! I think I will have to decline the offer, take someone else," he teased, causing Ana to laugh.

Meanwhile. . .

Kevin and his mother were dinning at a restaurant, he was very happy to have his mother back.

"Kevin dear, what's the matter? Who are you thinking about?" Karen, Kevin's mother asked.

"What? No one, I'm just tired," he lied, avoiding eye contact. He was day dreaming again about his angel.

"Right? Spit it out. I know it's a girl," she said with a knowing smirk. "Is she pregnant? Oh my God, I'm going to be a grandma! Is she pretty? Hope she isn't one of your harlot's though."

"Jesus ma, yes it's a girl and no she isn't pregnant, that's all you need to know for now."

"But, you always tell me everything. Just talk dear, you know I'm here to listen, plus it's high time we bond after so many years."

He let out a deep sign and started, "well her name is Anasia Morgan, she is pretty much an orphan. Um she is a black beauty, her eyes are the prettiest. . . She lives with her younger brother," he paused for a moment before continuing, "she is a hard worker, she loves baking, cooking, looking after people, gosh ma, she is just like you!"

"I love her mom," His mother's eyes lit up whilst her son, blabbered on about the love of his life. He had finally settled down, she never thought it would happen. She was keen to meeting her future daughter in law.

"Mmmh, so how did you two meet?" As soon as the words left her mouth, he went rigid, unable to speak. . . She might pass out, but here goes nothing.

"Well, I know you don't believe in supernatural crap," his mother was a Christian and she only believed in God. "Ma, w-we. . . Our, souls, w-we unknowingly swapped bodies?" Even he was unsure about what he said.

Karen let out a loud laugh, "look at you, always being my clown. You don't mean that do you?"

He didn't reply, instead he gave her a blank expression. "That's absurd! Jesus, we need to take the both the of you for prayers, I'm sure Pastor Xavier is still in New York. . . We will book an appointment."

The white man rolled his eyes, "whatever you say mother."

A few minutes passed, both of them silent, lost in their own thoughts. Karen missed the rest of her family, especially her sweet husband, but there was nothing she could do.

"Have you contacted Jasmine and your cousins ever since the accident?" Karen asked.

"No ma, I just couldn't. I didn't want to deal with the pity, and all the bullshit,"he explained, "I know I should have called or something but, yea. . ."

"It's fine my baby boy, I understand. But as soon as we go back to New York, I think it's best we pay them a visit in London."

They chatted for a few more hours before Kevin departed, he expressed how much he missed her and told her goodbye, "I'll be back in a few weeks ma, take care. I love you."

He was performing live again, happy that his fans loved him, determined to make Ana proud. He rocked the stage like wrecking ball.
