Chapter 12: Chapter 12

I walked down holding every hot breath that left my lungs as I walked closer towards him.

I could see him smile as I came close to him,he looked at me with those seductive eyes and I was his already.

He right hand already stretched to take mine into his, I could feel the fireworks in my head exploring to set a quick smile.

"Shall we?" His hands taking mine, I nod in agreement.

We walked majestically to the table full of meals I've only dreamt of, and the aroma already made me full.

Mr Rolland as Canada calls him pulled out a chair for me to sit, and wore a beautiful smile as we sat, I watched him walk to his chair that was indeed far from me, that was really awkward.

Rich people can be really funny.

Why make food you can't even finish?, why is the dinner table so long?How do I even say something to him?.

Well here I was already,I was ready to dig my nails into every piece of food on this table, Ethan might look handsome, he might as well be very boring.

We started eating in absolutely silent, gosh!... I knew I was going to over feed myself, but that tight gown won't.just.let.me.

"Tell me about yourself Miss Bucket," Ethan's voice from afar said to me.

I wasn't in for a long talk Ethan, am saving my strength for all this food going into my throat, I didn't give a response,my eyes already shot a "no, am not saying a word about myself to ya fine face".

"I asked a simple question Miss" Well he looked handsome and he was stubborn. "There is nothing much to say Mr Rol...land" I emphasize on the Rolland.

"Tell me anything, anything at all" he isn't giving up,is he?.

"Uhmmmm... You already know my name,where I work,I have no family or friends,well except Sarah...and obviously you know how old I am" digging the fork in my hand into the plate of chicken in front of me and rolling my eyes.

"Uhmmmm?... Go on" he said, not making a wink at me. "Ahhh that's all to know,durhh.." I sighed,rolling my eyes.

"You seem different....quite difficultI like that" he said.

I looked at him,I wanted to slap the guts out of him.

"What do you want from me Ethan!" I don't know when that slipped my mind out of my mouth, but it has been playing in my head for as long as I can remember.

"I like you," he said staring straight at me.

I was speechless,I wanted to say a lot of stuff but they couldn't afford to come out all at once,who the fuck does he think he is,I liked him too but that's not a way to ask a lady out, I mean I deserve a dinner date and flowers andwait.

I froze, was this the dinner date!

"You have all the time to think about your feelings towards me,just be quick with it" he said as he stood up and walked towards me.

My heart pounding at his footsteps towards me.

I stood up without being asked to, I wanted to look into his eyes and show him, I wasn't that easy to get, but my lids failed me.

His hands reached for my jaw to see my face more.

But before I could let my eyes hold onto his, and hold his beauty, they shut the minute he placed his lips on mine.

I pushed him, I struggled to let go, but his grip wasn't as hard as it seems, I wanted to let go but I couldn't,my heart pounding and racing as the kiss got deeper, now into something we both wanted, I didn't want this to end.

He broke the kiss, and without saying a word, he walked out. I stood there, so stupid and dumb.

Back to Present

"Don't move," Ethan said and I froze.

We moved slowly out of the dinner room, I was so frightened.

"What's going on Ethan?" I asked, I wasn't so sure if that was a gunshot.

"Nuella, I need you to go to the room and lock yourself up, do not open the door even if I was the one calling out your name, I repeat, Do not open,.. do you understand?" I nodded to show him I did.

"What about you Ethan, what are you going to do" I asked with a cracky voice. "Don't worry about me Nuella, now do as I say!" His voice now is very much bold.

"I love you Ethan" I ran towards him , wrapped him in a hug and placed a quick kiss on his lips. "I love you too and no matter what happens, I'll always love you" he said, his words so cold. "Please come back to me" I told him, already up the stairs.

"I will do no matter what" he said as blew an invisible kiss to me. I shut the door behind me.

Fear embraced me, I wasn't scared for myself,I was scared to lose the only family I had now, I was scared to lose the only man who had shown me true love, I was scared to lose the father of my unborn child.

Yes!

I Was pregnant, I wanted to tell him, but wasn't so sure of his reaction, I was so happy to finally hear him talk about us having kids, I was ready to tell him.

I wanted to make it a surprise, probably after making sweet love.

I can't let him face this alone, I can't live without him,if he dies, I wanna die with him. Ethan is my life.
