Ana sat on her bed, touching her lips, reminiscing the tantalizing kiss she shared with Kevin, the night before.

"Well well well, look who we have here Ana bear, did you miss me?" Kevin seductively whispered into her ears, her back pressed against him. Her body relaxed knowing who it was, and in a swift move she turned around, smashing her lips on his. Gosh she missed how it felt to have him close to her, she smiled, happy to have him close to her again. His beautifully sculptured lips moving dangerous on hers, nibbling and biting her lips.

He loved her lips, he loved every part of her. She pulled away, trying to catch her breath, "does that answer your question?" She smirked. "Don't play games with me Anasia," he said, using her full name, "I don't like it, when my woman goes around laughing with other men." She laughed, and rolled her eyes, "who says I'm your woman?"

After last night, Kevin offered to take her out for dinner on Thursday after work and she happily agreed. She got up from her bed and scanned her clothes, looking for the red jumpsuit Henry chose for the best restaurants in New York awards. She signed and picked out a red jumpsuit which had a floral print, she loved it.

About an hour later, Anasia was waiting for Henry to arrive so they could go. She felt a got guilty going with him, but she couldn't just tell him no, what was going to be her excuse? Oh hey Henry I'm sorry we can't go together because my man that isn't yet my man is back.

It wasn't going to work, she was snapped out of her thoughts by Mary who had fished applying her lipstick, she closed the lid and announced, "Henry is here. Let's go!" Mary said, sending her a wink.

Mary was accompanying her, to support her if she did get an award, whilst Duncan was going there because of food. . . And to support his sister, but it was mostly the food.

"You look stunning," Henry complimented, flashing her a warm smile as he opened the door for her.

Meanwhile. . .

Kevin Cruz was cruising around the road in his white convertible Mercedes, looking for a perfect restaurant to hold a perfect date with his soon to be girlfriend. She was going to be his, he was going to ask her tomorrow, since today was Wednesday.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when the song, starboy by the weekend started playing.

Perfect timing, he thought referring to the red light on the traffic light.

Knowing he was hot, he rolled the windows down, turned the volume up and put on his shades.

He stared singing to the lyrics, feeling himself, not caring if anyone was watching.

Thirty minutes later, and he had reached his destination. After talking to the owner of the restaurant he quickly paid the middle aged lady, he booked the terrace for the next day.

"I hope she says yes," the woman gushed in excitement.

He grinned, "I'm sure she will Susan," he liked Susan, she was very nice and welcoming, he hardly felt like that with people.

"My kids are your biggest fans."

"You don't say, hmm, I'll be sure to visit some other time. Tell them I'll get them something."

After saying their goodbyes, Kevin drove back home to get ready for an award giving ceremony he was invited to.

"I'm back ma," Kevin announced as he walked into the house.

"Welcome baby boy, how did it go?"

Kevin and Karen spent the remaining afternoon talking and laughing, "hopefully she will accept your proposal, as soon as she does bring her over! I want to meet her. . . And don't forget Kevin, don't rush; no sex before marriage!"

Kevin smiled, "yes mom."

Meanwhile. . .

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm Chef Ramsey coming to you live from the best restaurants in New York. As you can see we have a lot of guest coming here to celebrate and award the hard working chef's and restaurant owners, let's look around, shall we?"

Gordon Ramsey was the host of the award show, he looked as handsome as ever in a white tuxedo. He walked around interviewing guests and having a great laugh.

Kevin walked in, with no one by his side. Rue informed him that the award giving ceremony needed one more member to help award one of the lucky people. He was wearing a black fitted suit, his hair was perfectly combed and his shoe was shining as bright as a star.

Women gawked at him as he made his way inside, he simply ignored them, looking for one of his friends, who was also attending the show. . . But little did he know that Ana was going to be there.

He eyed his surroundings, the ceremony took place in one of the most prestigious hotels in New York, the ball room was decorated elegantly, waiters walking around with drinks, it was a normal thing for Kevin. Just then his eyes spotted Martin, a friend of his.

"How's it man?" Martin asked, shaking his friend's hand, "it's been so long."

Kevin smiled with delight, "tell me about it, I've been busy with work."

"Ah of course," Martin turned to his side and pulled close to him a beautiful lady. "This is my wife, Janice."

"Nice to meet you," they exchange handshakes, before she excused herself to socialize with the other guests.

Kevin took a sip of his drink before talking, "does this ceremony include every restaurant in New York?"

"Yes, there are so many people here today," replied Martin. Kevin suddenly felt giddy, Ana would definitely show up."Do you remember Henry? My cousin."

Kevin nodded, "yes, the one that swam with a live chicken on your last birthday party?"

"Exactly him, he will soon arrive. . . Hopefully without a chicken" Martin chuckled, "anyway, do you have anyone in your life?"

"Yea, her name is Anasia Morgan, she's the love of my life even though I haven't yet asked her to be mine yet."

Just as Martin was about to reply, Henry and Anasia walked towards them. "Hello cousin. . . Oh and who is this beauty?"

Kevin immediately turned to face the couple, his eyes darkened looking at Henry, whose arms were wrapped around Ana's waist.

"This is Anasia Morgan, a friend of mine."

Martin almost chocked on his drink when he recognized the name, he cleared his throat and looked at Kevin who was glaring bullets at his cousin.

Is this idiot blind? Can't he see that she is MINE. Kevin angrily thought to himself.

Ana wanted to die on the spot, she shifted uncomfortably, she had not expected him to be here tonight. He didn't even send her a glance instead he walked away, just in time as Ramsey called on all the people who were going to be presenting awards to the restaurants.

Duncan and Mary, sat next to Ana on the large round table, Duncan was taking selfies with Mary whilst Ana was sitting alone for the mean time, Henry was in the loo. Ana could feel Kevin's stare at her, it was like he was possessed. An hour later and Kevin was called up to the stage to award a two restaurant owners.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am Kevin Cruz," he informed smiling at the cameras, "Best restaurant design of the year goes to. . . Restaurant Louisa."

The crowd burst into a loud round of applause, as the owner of the restaurant walked up, it was the same kind lady that Kevin met today, he smiled warmly at her and gave her a hug, then proceeded to giving her the beautiful glass award.

After her speech she gracefully walked back to her seat, he was confused at first, because her name was Susan and the name of the restaurant is restaurant Louisa. . . But she mentioned in her speech that the restaurant was named after her late sister, Louisa.

". . .award for best food, this year goes to. . . Coco Flames."

That was Ana's restaurant! Kevin recalled when he and Duncan spoke about it.

Anasia walked up to the stage as the crowd gave a round of applause. He smiled at her, proud of what she accomplished, he tried to push away the fact that he saw her with another man.

He pulled her into a tight hug and whispered into her ears, "I'm proud of you my queen." He kissed the corner of her lips, causing her to gasp. Cameras clicked, and flashed.

He finally handed over to her the award, and she gave her speech.
