I laid on the sofa, lifeless and alone. I stared at the wall in front of me and just laid there. Why did he do that, I apologized and he just rejected me like a bitch. Why am I still here? He's treating me like I mean nothing to him. Will he do this when we get married, if we even get married. I just don't know anymore. Maybe I should just give up and go home. Suddenly I felt a presence at the entrance of the lounge. I turned my head a little and found Tony leaning against the post of the entrance," You came here to reject me some more?" He sighed and rub his hand down his face," Look Z, I uh, I'm sorry ok. I was uh being an asshole." He slowly paced over to me, I moved my legs off the sofa and sat up. He took his chance and sat beside me; we glanced at each other at the same time. We sat there for a moment; we never took our eyes off each other. As he gazed at me, I scooted closer to him and kissed him on the cheek. He grabbed the right side of my face and kissed me on the lips,"I love you." "I love you too."

A few weeks later, everything went smooth. No arguing or fussing just making love all the time. He seems to like it a lot, I know I do. I erased my thoughts and continued driving down the busy road to Sasha and Sarah's apartment. I pulled into an available parking spot and got out the car. I quickly and steadily ran up the flight of red steps. After three floors, I finally reached there apartment building and knocked on door, K-9. I waited a few seconds and the door flew open and a group of crazed girls burrowed me into a group hug," Guys I can't breathe." they all moved away from me," We haven't seen you in a while, girlfriend." Sarah said. "Yeah, so get your ass in here and tell us why!" Sasha yelled as she dragged me through the door and sat me on the couch. Everyone else sat around us and all the attention was on me," Soo how are you and ice cream man?" I dropped my jaw in shock of her nickname she gave him."Ice cream man?" I giggled and shook my head," We're better than ever!" I sang in a high pitched girly voice. They all laughed and turned their attention to me again,"How good is it?" Penny questioned." So good that he wants to marry me." They all halted," Aaaaaah!" they squealed nearly jumping out of their seats. " Oh my god! We better be invited or I'm kicking your butt!" Sasha threatened. "I wanna help plan the wedding!" Veronica jumped in."ok ok calm down, we're not getting married anytime soon." I dejected. They all pouted and whined. And we continued to talk about ourselves and how we were doing. After we talked we ate dinner and I went back home.

Next Day

As I walked out the bedroom door, Tony was downstairs about to exit the entrance door," Where you going?" he glanced at me and I pranced down the stairs to face him," I'm going on a business trip to Bolivia." Tony answered. "Can I come?" He stared at me dumbfounded," No, not at all." "Why?" I whined."Cause I don't want you around this shit." he rejected. "But I want to go, I never been to South America." "I don't care, we can go places that don't involve business some other time." He grabbed my head, kissed it and walked out the door. I slammed the door behind him and stomped up the stairs to the bedroom. I slammed that door and plopped on the bed. Why couldn't he bring me? I don't care if I get dragged in, I just wanted to see the beautiful scenery there. I don't care about the business, plus I wanted to meet his business partner. Well I can't do that now huh? I sat up on the bed and played with a strand of my hair. I was bored and it was evident, I didn't know what else to do.

Then I thought about Mama, she hasn't been anywhere in a while. I got up from the bed and went into Tonys office and grabbed the phone. I dialed the number, it rung once and she immediately answered," Ezra!" "Hey Mama." "You haven't called me in days, what was the change of heart?" "I wanted to see if you would like to hang out for the weekend?" "Where are we going to go?" "Maybe a real nice hotel." there was a short silence," Ok we can do that sweetheart." "Yaay! Get packing Ma!" I cheered before hanging up. I rushed out the office and grabbed a suitcase from the closet. I grabbed a few outfits and some bathing suits and pajamas and stuffed in my suitcase. I grabbed my toiletries and suitcase and left the bedroom. As I dragged my suitcase down the stairs, one of the workers ran up the stairs and took the suitcase off my hands,"Thank you." he smiled and nodded his head. We walked down the stairs and headed outside to my car. He put my suitcase in the backseat and opened the door for me.

As he closed the door, he bowed and marched away. I drove off and headed to Mama's house. I pulled up in the driveway and honked my horn twice. A few minutes passed by and she came out with a suitcase and her purse. I got out of the car and helped her put the suitcase in the back seat and we both got in the car," Where did Tony go?" "Mama, it's girls night out, let's not talk about him." I protested; she nodded her head and we headed to the Hotel. We pulled into a nice four star hotel, i stopped the car infront of the entrance and valet helped get out our bags and took the car to the parking lot. The bagboy took our luggage and we checked into a room. The accountant gave us the room key and we got into the elevator.

As we walked out of the elevator we came across our room, i put the key into the lock and unlocked the white and gold doors. As we crept in, we gawked at the beautiful sight. Everything was white and gold, and very elegant. The bedroom was like me and Tonys room. Wait no! Dont think about him! I shook him out of my head and i jumped onto the bed,"Its so comfy. Come enjoy it Ma!" she hesitated for a moment and finally came running towards the bed and jumped. The bed bounced and i flew off hitting the floor," Oh Ezra, are you ok sweetie?" she asked trying to keep from laughing. I got up slowly and dusted off the imaginary dust," Yeah im good, thanks for helping though." i said sarcastically. She laughed,"Im sorry sweetheart. Come here so i can give you a kiss to make it all better." She stretched out her arms and had a pouty face. I rolled my eyes and engaged into her hug. She gave me a kiss like she said and squeezed me tight.

She let go and we immediately order room service, we ordered every little thing from the list and it came pretty quick. The waiters came with our food and we ate it. After our meals we went to the spa area in the hotel. We got manicures and pedicures and facial massages. While we were getting our facials, we sat in silence," Ezra, if Tony didnt go on his trip, would you still want to hang out with me?" i glanced at her," Yeah Ma, your like my best friend." i gave her a big smile and she did the same. After our facials we went back to the room and just chilled out. Suddenly the room phone rung, ma and i exchanged looks, i questionably answered the phone," Hello?" "Z?" "This is she." "Where are you?" "Tony?" "Yeah its me mane." " Im at the hotel, and why would you care?" there was an awkward silence and he finally answered," I uh want you to come down here." i paused a little surprised. Didn't he say a few hours ago that he didn't want me to come down there. God he's so confusing."But i thought you said-," "I know what i said, but i miss you." My stomach had butteflies in them when he said that 'i miss you'. "Uh o-ok, but how am i going to-" "I got a chopper coming your way so be ready." "Ok ill see you there then." before he could say anything i hung up the phone and gave mama a sorrowful look," im sorry Mama but i have to go." "But we just got here Ezra." "I know but Tony wants me to go down there with him." she threw her hands up and paced around," Uh Tony tony tony tony. Tony this, Tony that. He's got you wrapped around his finger and tight too." i rolled my eyes and grabbed my stuff," Bye mama, have a happy lonely life." i stormed out the room and slammed the door behind me.

I got out of the hotel and drove to the heliport near the airport and hopped in the chopper and flew to Bolivia. As we were flying i couldn't help but glance at the beautiful surroundings. Finally the helicopter landed and the blades died down. When they stopped one of the servants took my hand and helped me off the chopper. I smoothed my dress and thanked him, he bowed and walked away. I stood there and endured the scenery. Whoever's house this is, its very beautiful, elegant and exotic," Z!" my train of thought was interrupted by a familiar voice. I looked towards the voice and saw the sexist man ive ever seen, Tony. But instead of Manny beside him, it was another man. He had tan skin, grayish blackish hair and snake eyes. He didnt feel right at all, something about him made my skin crawl.

Suddenly, they came closer and closer until they stopped a foot away from me. I starred blankly at them until the man cleared his throat," Uh tony are you going to introduce me to the lovely lady?" he asked staring at me. I tried very hard not to make a disgusted face,"Alex this is Z, Z this is Alex." he held out his hand and i shook it hesitantly," Hello Z." He grinned, i put up a fake smile," Hello, Alex." he finally let go of my hand," Let me show you around." He offered. I looked at Tony reassuringly and he nodded his head. Alex led me before him and he slightly put his hand behind my back and showed me the house. As we were walking around, i could tell he loved to talk about himself," So you love Tony huh?" i looked at him and back to the front," Of course, with all my heart." i looked at him again and he slightly smiled," i can tell he feels the same way about you too." "You think so?" "I know so." i smiled and we returned to the garden where Tony was. As we arrived Tony kept starring at me the whole time, and Alex seemed to notice. We sat at the table outside by the garden, Tony pulled out a chair beside me and sat down. Waiters came by and sat down salad dishes in front of all of us.

Immediately, Alex and Tony dug into their dishes. As they were eating i stared at my plate, i really didnt want to waste my food, but im so full from earlier,"Z why havent you touch your plate?" I erased my thoughts and turned to the voice," I ate earlier babe ." i looked at him and gave an award winning smile. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. After they ate we all sat back in out chairs," So Alex we got business to take care of." Alex took his snake eyes off of me and turned to Tony," Yes of course." they both got up from the table and walked towards the house. Really, they just left me here, with nothing to do. I sat there for a minute and got up from the table and walked towards the garden.

As i was walking i ran my hand through the beautiful flowers in the bushes," I will love you till the end of time , I would wait a million years ,Promise you'll remember that you're mine,Baby can you see through the tears?Love you more,Than those bitches before,Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember ,I will love you till the end of time-" "I didnt know you could sing." i quickly jerked my body around to face Tony himself. He nearly gave me a mini heart attack. Suddenly his hand gently caressed my cheek while the other grabbed my waist," what song was that?" "My song." "Whats it about." I paused and looked him in those gorgeous puppy dog eyes," You." He cupped my face into his hands, and kissed me passionately," Im guessing you like the song." We both laughed and he took my hand into his. We strolled down the garden hand in hand.

Sosa's point of view

As Tony left the room one of my associates exported me into the telephone room. Alberto pointed towards the phone and I walked towards it. If Tony has done anything he'll regret it."Sir, the lady has a family background that needs to be checked." i glanced at him questionably," What do you mean?" "Her family is part of the Italian drug cartel sir. She could jeopardize the business." i glanced at him again and back at the window, where Tony and Z were walking hand in hand. Z is not the type of woman to do such a horrible thing, she has a pure heart and cares too much for people. Even though she is with Tony and i just met her; i care about her and i couldn't bare to see her suffer and die. "We'll let her go, but if she does anything we'll get her." Alberto nodded his head and put the phone back on the hook.
