Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 12

Toni:

WOW,we are going to Paris!Okay, i never expected this turn of event

but its perfect.Paris, the city of love is the perfect place to entice

Steven and if we are already married, my parents would have no other

choice but to trust me and accept the marriage. Waiting to convince my

parents would have been the best option but how long would it take? I

want this as soon as possible, before my pregnancy starts showing.

Steven would be here soon so, i need to start packing

. I bring my small

suitcase down from the top of my wardrobe and something falls with

it. I bend down and see that its a bracelet.The goodluck charm i was

given eight years ago in the hospital when my brother was admitted.I

remember this bracelet for years after that.The only time i didn't

wear it was during my 2months coma. When i woke up, the only thing i

remembered for a week was that boy and this bracelet. He was kind of my

first love. I took this bracelet off three years ago when kacy and i

started courtship. What a waste. Maybe that's the reason why such

badluck has been following me. Right now, i need all the luck i can

get so i put the bracelet on again then, i continue with my packing.

An hour later, my phone starts ringing and when i see that its Steven,

i double check that i have everything I'll need, then sneak out of the

house.

We are now at Steven's suite

. Thankfully, i was able to sneak out

without my parents notice. I wrote a note telling them that i am

eloping and left it on my bed for them to find tomorrow morning. I

don't want to make them worry but i have to do this for my baby and

for myself.

Steven takes my suitcase inside to his room and that's when i realise

that we will probably have to sleep in the same room tonight. I sit

awkwardly on the sofa and wait for him. He comes out minute later with

his jacket and tie gone and his sleeves rolled to his elbow,

showcasing muscular fore arms. He looks so good i could eat him. Wait,

where did that thought come from?. I shake my head at my thinking. He

looks so casual right now and i don't think i have seen him in

anything other than his suits except that night that brought us

together. The suits fits him perfectly but kindof make him seem

distant. Right now he looks comfortable and approachable.

"i have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"he

says as soon as he sits on the same sofa that i am seated. His knees

brush my legs and i gulp down air. He looks at me with raised eyebrows

and i clear my suddenly parched throat.

"sorry, wha-t were you saying?" i ask him and he smiles like he knows

how much he affects me.

"i said i have goodnews and badnews. Which do you want to hear first?"

"oh, the badnews"

"ok. I did some research and found out that we cant get married in

Paris immediately. It would take too long because they have alot of

legalities for foreigners" oh. I cant wait

"oh,what's the goodnews?"

"i have a better idea. We should still go to Paris and have a fake

wedding. We will dress the part then take pictures and send to the

media here in Nigeria. This way your parents would think we are

married and when they give their consent, we would get married the

proper way here in Nigeria"he says

"why do you have to come up with all the good plans?. I should have

thought of that" i say and he laughs. A full belly laugh with thinking

eyes. His laugh is doing crazy thing to my heart. Right now, he

doesn't look like a business tycoon that i cant reach. He looks so

care-free and the fact that i had a hand in it makes me swell with

pride.

"i cant help it love, i am an evil genius"he says after he stops

laughing and grin at me showcasing the dimple on his left cheek. I

really wish i could lick that damn tempting dimple. I shake my head

again at my x-rated thoughts. What is happening to me? 'Steven is

happening to you'my inner mind says and i laugh.

"what's funny now?" he asks me

"oh nothing. When do we leave?"

"three days from now. I just need some of your documents"

"wow, that's fast. I thought it took weeks or even months"

"with money, everything is possible, love" he says. Wow!.

. That's the

second time he's calling me love. What's the reason for his warm

attitude towards me?. Maybe he is just acting. But we are alone so who

is he acting for?. Well, i don't care. I love how it makes me feel.

Awkward silence descend upon us after awhile. I wonder what our

sleeping arrangement would be tonight. Steven clears his throat then

grab the remote and start channel surfing.

He stops at mbc2 and my eyes

bulge when i see the kiss scene they are on.

AWKWARD!. Steven quickly

change the channel and Nat geo wild comes on showing two monkeys

mating. I start coughing and stand up as i run away from the sitting

room.

"am off to bed!"i say and i hear him stifling his laughter.

I turn and toss in bed for an hour then i hear the door open,i close

my eyes and pretend to be asleep. I feel Steven get into bed with me.

He drags me to him with my back to his chest and we fall asleep like

this
