I looked at myself in the full length mirror and examined the burgundy form fitting, flowing dress. I turned to see Tony already focused on me, I smirked and turned back to my reflection. After I studied myself in the dress, Tony bought it for me and dropped me off at my house. Before I could got out of the car, Tony caught a hold of my wrist," I want you to live with me Z." I halted and looked him in the eyes," You want me to live with you?" He glanced at me with pleading eyes, he grabbed my wrist tighter," Just..Think about it, I want to be able to see you everyday..Without this car in the way." I grinned slightly and nodded my head. I slowly retrieved my wrist from his grip and crept out of the car. I walked up the stairs to my house and rushed through the door, slamming it shut behind me. "Z!? Is that you sweetheart?" My mom yelled from the kitchen," Yeah Mama." I held onto my new dress tight and ran to my room. I closed the door and locked it shut. I took a breather and stared at my room.
Me living with Tony was a dream come true, but what about mom. Would she miss me, will she be lonely without me here, or will she be happy that I left. I sighed and got rid of the nagging, negative thoughts in my head. I glanced down towards my closet," I gotta get out of here." I unlocked my door and went to the storage room and searched for a suitcase. I finally found an old floral vintage suitcase, that was big enough to fit my whole closet. As exited the storage room my mom was standing in the hallway, wiping her hands off with a damp cloth," What are you doing?" " Packing." I answered. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at me," Packing for what?" "I'm moving." " Moving where?" She crossed her arms over her chest." To Tony's place." I looked at her for an assuring response but that did not come," You only known him for a month, and your already moving in with him!" She shook her head disappointedly and paced back and forth through the hall. I guess trying to gather her thoughts, suddenly she ceased the pacing and looked at me," Do you even love him Ezra, or just the things he gives you?" I raised my eyebrow," Of course I love him mama! Why would you even say that!?" " ...Because I don't want you to make the same mistake I did. I didnt marry your father for his love, but the things he gave me and look how that turned out... He's dead and I'm left with all these material things that haunt me everyday.. The only thing that means the world to me that he gave me was you." I was silent, I had nothing to say that compared to that," Tony means everything to me mama. He's not gonna hurt me, he's not that kind of person." "...Just be careful. And if he ever lays a hand on you, you come straight here! Got it!?" I nodded my head, she raced over to me and hugged me tight. She kissed the top of my head, my forehead then the last one on my cheek," I love you Ezra." " Love you too Ma."
The next day I invited my friends over, so they could help me pack. KNOCK KNOCK! I raced to the door and opened it," AAAAAH!" we all squealed and formed a group hug. We rushed to my bedroom, my friends greeted my mom while doing so. Penny was the last one to get in my room and she shut the door behind her. We squealed again and Sarah tackled me onto my bed," Oh my goodness! You're moving in with Tony, you're moving in with Tony!" She sang while poking my stomach, I swatted her hand away from me and sat up. "Well lets not waist time, let's get the packing!" Veronica cheered. Penny switched on the radio that was on my dresser, and our favorite song was on, Genya Ravan, Love is a Fire. We cheered and I grabbed my hair brush," Love is a fire and it's raging out of control. Ooooo love is a fire and it's burning up my soooul!" Everyone danced while I sung the song. Finally it went off and I put down my brush," ok let's really get packing." we all laughed and I pulled out my suitcase. Sasha went to my dresser and started pulling out my shirts. One by one, all of us folded my clothes and stacked them into my suitcase. We had one more drawer left that had my undergarments.
Sasha pulled out a skimpy red lace lingerie set," Oooo this must be for Tony!" She sang seductively and pelvic thrusted the air. Everyone laughed while I was standing there embarrassed as hell. I glared at her and snatched the garment away. I stuffed it in the suitcase and continued packing. Finally we finished and astonishingly everything fit. I put the suitcase on the floor and we plopped on my bed," Uugh thanks for helping me guys." " No problem, Z." they said in unison. We all got up and left my room," I'll see you guys later." " Ok call us when you get there." Sasha said as she hugged me and everyone else did too. They left and I turned to my mom, she immediately ran and squeezed me tight," I'm gonna miss you sweetheart. Promise me you'll visit." " I promise mama." She let me go and smiled big. She gazed at me one more time and pinched my cheeks," Ok you can go now." she whispered loud enough so I could hear.
I looked into her eyes, tears were welling up and I felt so bad. I hugged her one last time, grabbed my suitcase and headed out the door. I threw my suitcase in the back seat of my car and got in. I started the car and drove to Tony's house. Last night Tony called and told me his address just in case I wanted to move with him. I never seen his house before but by the looks of his neighbors house, it must be to die for. As I pulled up around the corner I nearly almost fainted. The house, scratch that, the mansion was white and had a beautiful garden and had stairs that led to the front doors. The entrance was gated and guarded, I pulled up and a man was standing there," You are?" he asked firmly. "U-uh Ezra Hale... T-Tony's gi-" "Oh Tony's been expecting you." " Is he here right now?" I asked." No m'am he isn't." I grinned and motioned for him to open the gates. The gates finally opened and I drove towards the garage, I put the car in park and grabbed my suitcase. One of his workers got into my car and parked it in the garage.
As I was walking up the stairs the guy came back and grabbed my suitcase," Thank you." he nodded his head and we continued up the stairs. We finally arrived at the front doors and he opened them up," Woow." the mansion was beautiful for a guy, the whole front room was shade of dark red. In the middle of the room below the staircase was an indoor shallow pool that had a statue of three Grecian woman holding a globe that read,"The world is yours" I shook my head and laughed," That's soo Tony."
