I groggily opened my eyes and saw Tony gazing at me," Good morning, sleepy head." I playfully hit his bare chest," Shut up." I laid my head on his shoulder and played with his gold chain around his neck," Aye maybe I should get you one." I raised my eyebrow at him crazily," Oh no, I'm not a gangster, ok. I'm a queen, I like diamonds and things." He chuckled," Diamonds, huh." I nodded my head and drew circles on his chest with my index finger. "what did you do in Cuba, before you came here?" he paused and sighed," I uh slaved my ass off, working with no pay. Just bullshit." "Oh yeah, that is a communist country...Sorry I asked." "Nah don't be sorry, you just wanted to know." he smiled down at me and I returned the gesture. Suddenly my hair flopped in my face,Tony brushed it behind my ear and kissed my cheek.

"How does this sound...Ezra Montana?" I raised my eyebrow," What do you mean?" "I want you to be , so I can get you that diamond." He suggested while kissing my left hand. I didn't know what to say, I was completely speechless. He wants me to be his wife. Out of all the women in the world, he chose me. Me! Mrs. Tony Montana! I don't know what came over me but a tear ran down my cheek," Why you crying?" he wiped the tear with his thumb and I smiled," I would love to be ." I embraced my arms around his neck, and pecked my lips all around his face. Wow did he just propose to me? And I accepted. Wait till my mom finds out.

After our conversation Tony went and took a shower and left for "work". I took a shower too but I stayed in the bedroom and cleaned up a bit. I gathered our clothes from last night and put them in the dirty laundry. After that, I made the bed up and layed back down on it. I turned over towards the tvs and watched the surveillance videos. It was so quiet without Tony and it's only been an hour since he left. Ugh might as well go and visit mom while I can. I hopped off the bed and slipped on a pair of shoes and grabbed my purse. I skipped down the stairs and exited the house. I hopped in my car and drove to my moms house.

As I drove I turned on the radio and listened to Tina Turner's A Fool In Love song. It was so true, that's how I felt about Tony. I finally pulled up in the driveway and got out of the car and unlocked the door," Aye Mama!" "In here sweetie!" she yelled from the kitchen. It smelled good in there. She was cooking an old fashioned Italian dish. I missed her cooking so much, hell, I missed HER so much. She turned around from the stove and she ran into my arms," I missed you so much sweetie, how was the-" she stopped talking and stared at my face in complete shock," What ma?" suddenly her face filled with anger," DID HE HIT YOU EZRA! Oh my goodness I'm gonna kill him!" I tried to calm her down but it was no use. She kept raging and pacing the room like a maniac," Mama stop!" she immediately stopped and turned to me," Are you crazy!? I'm not going to let him do this to you!" I rolled my eyes," But that's the thing Ma! He didn't do this to me." her body loosened up but tensed back up again," Then who did?" "Don't worry about it, Tony already took care of him." " Why, where, and when did he hit you?" My mom interrogated. "During the interview, he was the interviewer Ma, I guess he hit me cause I resisted of him touching me." She sighed and shook her head," Ugh people make me sick, just be careful out there sweetheart, I don't want to loose you, and I don't think Tony wants to loose you either." I nodded my head and smiled big," That's why he wants to marry me." I looked at her for a positive response and got nothing," Ma? Did you hear me?" " Yes I heard you." She interrupted with an attitude. I rolled my eyes and sat down at the table," Are you sure you want to marry him?" "Yes I'm sure." "When will I meet this Tony, huh?" She teased as if she was jealous of him." I don't know. When he wants you to. I guess?" She let out a humorless laugh," He has you wrapped around his finger." " Yeah, I guess so." I chuckled nervously picking at my nails. "Are you happy with him?" "Yes of course!" I yelled a little too enthusiastic, my mom chuckled and turned to me with a genuine smile."So you're ok with me marrying him?" "As long as he keeps you happy and protected, I'm fine with it." I clapped my hands and hopped out of my seat," Yay! Thank you Mommy!" I ran, hugged her tight and kissed her cheek repeatedly. She chuckled and returned the favor.

After I visited my mom I went to walk around town, by myself. I know it's dangerous but I just needed to get around. I parked my car by the beach and I went to the ice cream stand. I order a chocolate cone and I ate as I walked. As I was walking, I swear ever girl glared at me. I mean whats their problem. Jealous bitches. Wait what are they jealous about anyways? Suddenly I felt a hard figure bump into me, thank goodness I ate my cone already," Excuse you-"A slender, tall man stopped as he gazed at me. "Sorry I didn't see you there." I rushed nervously getting out of the way," Wait!" he yelled. I stopped in my tracks and turned my body around," Yes?" He strutted towards my way and stopped inches from me," You are so beautiful, I would love to have you in one of my magazine issues." he offered grabbing both of my hands and kissing them," Really? You'd like to have me in your magazine?" He nodded his head and grinned. Me on a cover of a magazine. That's a fucking dream of a life time." Uh yeah sure. When will I get to shoot?" "Today! If you want." he offered. I nodded my head and he grabbed my hand and pulled to a building right across from the street. Well that was quick. He opened the door and he dragged me in the building. The building had lights and stations all set up and models were gettin their hair and make up done," Can someone get-" He looked at me," Ezra." I said. "Ezra to hair and make up!" he finished. Automatically one person came and dragged me to a chair. People gathered all around me picking at my face and pulling my hair. I was basically gettin beat up in the chair, suddenly they all stopped and stared at me," What? Do I look ugly?"

They all shook their heads and moved away from the mirror, still gawking at me. I looked forward and saw the most gorgeous woman on earth. My hair had a nice wavy shiny texture to it, my lips were ruby red, and I had a smokey eye shadow effect. Then the guy from before dragged me to a rack of clothes and shoved clothing into my arms," Put this on." he commanded. I looked at the garments and then him," Where am I gonna put this on at?" He laughed and shook his head," Right here, now hurry." I undressed quickly and slipped on the garment. It was a white one piece bathing suit. It had a nice silhouette and it fit my body so perfectly," Perfect!" The guy shouted. He pushed into a white area surrounded by bright lights. I stood there awkwardly, trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to do," Ezra!?" "Yeah." "Pose please." I nodded my head and relaxed myself. Ok just imagine no ones here, and your standing infront of the mirror. I inhaled and exhaled and paused for a quick second. Then all my confidence came bursting out of my system. I posed left and right, the cameras flashed and I felt alive and free. Unfortunately the shoot ended but the guy let me have a couple outfits including the bathing suit. I walked back to my car and placed the garments in the passenger seat, and I drove back home. It was pretty late when I came in and everyone noticed," Z where have been mane?" Chi Chi asked. "Uh out." I shook my head and walked past him," With who?" "Myself." I started going up the stairs," Well Tony's been looking for you." I stopped dead in my tracks," Well he knows where I am now huh. All these fucking surveillance cameras." he chuckled and I continued up the stairs. I opened the door to the bedroom, Manny was sitting in the chair next to the tub where Tony was," Aaye you finally came home." I walked into the closet and hung up my free garments," Yeah I went to go visit Mama." I closed the closet door and strutted over to the liquor bar by the Tvs. "Why you all dressed up?" Tony asked. "You won't believe me if I tell you." Him and Manny chuckled and said something in Spanish to each other," What did you go do?" "I modeled for a photoshoot." "Really? Model right now." Tony smirked and Manny laughed.

I rolled my eyes," Why are you laughing, stronzo!" " What does that even mean?"Manny questioned." I don't know figure it out." I shook my head and sat down on the bed, Manny looked at me. I glared at him and stuck my tongue out. I crossed my arms across my chest and laid back against the headboard. "Aaw look what you did mane, you made her mad." Tony and Manny looked at me and smiled teasingly. I glared at them and they said something again in Spanish," Pezzo di merda." I mumbled loud enough so they could hear me. "Ezzie we were only kidding." Tony apologized. "sto scherzando il mio culo." They both stared at me shockingly," Yeah I can speak a different language too, huh." "What language was dat?" Tony asked with a cigar in his mouth. "Italian." "Chou speak Italian?" He questioned Very surprised. "Yes. I'm italian, Tony." I pouted and and forcefully laid down in the bed," Why you acting like a lil kid?" He chuckled with Manny joining. I put the pillow over my head and I started to form tears in my eyes. Fucking assholes. No one makes fun of me. Momentarily Manny left to go home. Thank god. I heard Tony get out of the tub and the water went down the drain. Suddenly I felt a hand shake my back," Z? Come on we were only kidding mane." "Leave me alone Tony, ok." He patted my back,"Ok, if that's what Chou want." he left me alone the whole night, surprisingly. I thought he was gonna argue with me until I gave up, but he didn't sadly. I disappointedly got under the covers and went to sleep with the pillow on top of my head.

I opened my eyes and felt an object on my head," What the fuck?" I mumbled to myself. I grabbed the object and threw it across the room. I looked over at Tonys side of the bed and he wasn't there. I sighed and got up from the bed and sluggishly walked to the bathroom. I grabbed a cloth and removed the make up from my face. I removed my clothes and took a long soothing shower. I can't believe Tony wasnt there to comfort me, I know I was being childish but I needed him at that moment and he wasn't there. Should I really marry Tony? No, no, no get that question out of your head. Of course you're gonna marry him, he's the man of your dreams... Right? Yes. don't ever question that. I sighed and finished the argument in my head. I turned the water off and grabbed my robe and slipped it on. I walked over to the vanity, sat down and combed my hair in the mirror. After I combed my hair I got dressed and exited the room. For a moment I just stood there not knowing what to do. Maybe I should go apologize to him, I was acting foolishly. I inhaled then exhaled and slowly walked up to his office door. Should I knock or just walk in? I guess I'll knock. Just before I could knock, the door swung open and I entered. Tony was sitting at his desk, slumped in his chair and he had an annoyed expression on his face. I wanted to turn back around right then and there but I couldn't. I was already here now." What you want mane? I already left you alone, what you want me to do now, rub ya feet or something?" I crossed my arms across my chest," No! I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." "For what?" "Acting like a little kid." I responded. "Is that all?" he asked as if my apology meant nothing. I wanted to rage and cuss him out but I caught myself and just nodded my head," Ok." he said with his strong accent. I shook my head and stormed out of the office and down the stairs. I went into the lounge room and plopped on the sofa. I wanted to cry so bad but I held them in as tight as I could. What the fuck happened? I was suppose to be Queen of the castle, not the damn peasant.
