Stevie's POV

I run through the garden, heading for Zander's stable. I hear mother calling out for me to come home, but I don't care. I just need to find Zander befor-

I turn the corner, and see a pair of sad eyes staring into mine. Before he can say anything, I wrap my arms around his shoulders, and embrace. He is startled at first, but soon returns the sensation. I'm squeezing hard, I don't want to let go because if I do I'm afraid he'll slip away from me.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asks, his voice quivering. I look up at him, eyes watering.

"Because I knew you wouldn't let me get married to someone I don't even know."

I put my head back onto his chest and choke down a sob. He lifts me up by the chin with his right hand. He looks into my eyes, and I look into his.

"Well you were right. I wont let you get married."

He gently presses his lips onto my forehead. I feel the heat rush to my cheeks as he pulls away slowly. And I don't know why, but I crash my lips into his. At first he is startled, but soon returns the kiss. It lasts for a few seconds until we both pull away. He smiles, and I smile back. We hug once more, this time knowing full well what was to happen next.

"Stevie Baskara…"

I turn surprised at the sound of my mother's voice. She stands with a shocked, disappointed and angry expression on her face. She walks quickly over to where I am, and pulls me out of the way so she is facing Zander.

"You…you STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" she yells, raising her arm raised high into the air.

"No, NO mum, please don't this, you CAN'T do this!" I plead, grabbing her hand and pulling it down, but to no avail.

Zander doesn't flinch, but instead bows to my mother and speaks "Yes ma'am. I promise I will stay away from Miss Baskara." And it's as if I'm talking to a robot.

I give him pleading look, and as my mother drags me away, I see his mouth form the words but no sound comes out.

Meet me at the stable tonight.

I hold back a giggle as he blows me an air kiss, then walks back to the staff house.

Nelson's POV

Well, I'm glad we got the kiss on film, but that last bit could have gone down better. I just hope that Stevie doesn't get into too much trouble.

Stevie's POV

"What were you thinking? And after I just told you of an engagement to Justin Cole-"

"Wait a minute, when was Justin Cole ever apart of this?" I yell back at my mother. She stands behind her desk in her study room, while I sit on the chair on the other side of the desk.

"…Well, I, we thought that Justin would make the ideal husband for you, Steviekins. But then, you just had to go and kiss the stable boy. I mean was that just a stunt, so that I wouldn't make you get married?"

I get out of my seat, "His name is Zander, and no! It's not a stunt!"

I pause to make sure that what I say next is true. Yes I'm sure of it.

"I love him."

My mother looks at me with wide eyes. Then she sticks her nose into the air and crosses her arms.

"What would you know about love Stevie? You're just a child!"

I scoff, "More than you know! You treat dad like garbage!" I shout. I can feel footsteps coming to the room.

"You think that if I had a choice, I would have chosen your father?"

It echoes through the house. But it mainly stings the ears of my father, who looks at us with a broken hearted face.

"I'm done Bethany. I'm done."

He storms down the stairs, followed by my mother calling out his name. My parents have fought many times, but what my mother just said might have pushed him over the edge.

My parents might be getting divorced.
