After our little 'secession' we just sat in the tub and endured each others company. He laid in his spot and smoked his cigar, while i sat next to him with my head snuggled under his jaw. As i laid there i just kept playing with his gold chain," Teroso, you never looked so beautiful." I glanced up at him, and he looked at me as if i were crazy," How am i beautiful?" I gently smiled and traced my index finger lightly over his face," Your beautiful puppy dog eyes, those luscious eyelashes and your scar. It gives you character." He cheekily grinned at me and kissed the top of my head," i think we should get out. The water is cold and look at hands mane." He lifted his hand in front of me, and displayed his prune hands. I looked at him then his hands and bursted out laughing," They look like prunes." After i stopped laughing, i crawled out of the tub and wrapped myself in a towel. Tony let the water out, i threw him a towel and he wrapped it around his waist," Damn, that was my favorite robe." Tony examined the tub and grabbed the soaked and ruined robe. He ringed out the water and threw it towards me.

I caught it in mid air and threw in the dirty clothes basket. I went into the closet, put on my undergarments, then searched for one of my sundresses. When i found my floral sundress, i put it on, dried my hair, put on deodorant, perfume and waited for Tony to finish. I glanced at him still trying to button up his shirt, so i went over to his aid and helped him button up his beige dress shirt. He tucked the shirt into his pants loosely, put on his shoes and we went downstairs to the living room. He sat down on the couch as i poured us two champagne glasses. I picked them up and sat down on the couch next to him, i gave him his glass. I raised mine in the air," To the wedding!" He chuckled and raised his glass too," To the wedding." We tapped each others glass and took a sip of champagne. I laid my glass down on the table and snuggled my self into Tony," Am i your daddy now or something?" He playfully poked my side. I glared at him jokingly but in reality, i never really had a dad."Wheres your dad anyway?" I paused for a second," Dead." " How he die?" " My grandmother found out that he was beating my mom, so she came to our house and shot him 10 times." Tony inhaled and exhaled," Holy shit. Where's your grandmother?" " She's in prison for life. We only get to see her once every year...So be careful, MaMa might do the same." He gazed into my eyes," I'd never hurt you." I blushed and slightly smiled.

Suddenly the doorbell rang, i raised my eyebrow and turned to Tony. He was about to get up but i stopped," Relax, i got it babe." He sat back down and i strutted over to the front double doors. I hesitantly turned the doorknob and opened the door," Leon!? Wh-what the-. Why are you here?" He examined me then inside the house," Wow, nice place you got here." He stepped inside and walked to the front room," You still didn't answer my question." He continued to ignore my me and examined the room," Wow, woow, love what you done to the place," he stated sarcastically," The world is yours, mmhmm." I crossed my arms and shifted my weight to one leg," Why are you here, Leon?" He finally turned my direction and steadily walked to me," I came to see you, Z." " Why? Didn't i say, i didn't want you. I found someone-" he rolled his eyes and stepped closer to me," I know, but i can give you better. A better life. I can give you a safe life," he gently grabbed my arms," i can give you a nice house, a beautiful family, i can give you a life where you don't have to worry about anything." I shrugged his hands off my arms and shook my head,"Maybe i don't want that. Maybe i like my life the way it is. HELL you had your chance along time ago, but you were too conceited to see that." He sighed and rolled his eyes," Please just give me another chance." " NO! GO AWAY!" Suddenly Tony came out of the lounge room," Who is this guy?" He walked over to me and slightly hid me behind his back," Its no one, he was just LEAVING." Unexpectedly, Leon started to laugh humorlessly," Wow where you find this guy? On a banana boat. You chose this SPIC over me?" He fucked up, he fucked up biig time. " WHAT THE FUCK YOU TALKIN MANE!?" Without a warning Tony pulled out his pistol. Leon put his hands up in surrender and slowly backed away. I immediately tried to pull him back and stop him from killing Leon," Tony don't. Just calm down. Put the gun away." He glanced at me and back at Leon. He tensed up even more and gripped the gun tighter," Why are you here mane? Coming into my house and disrespecting me. Huh who the fuck do you think you are?" Leon gulped and shook his head fearfully. " Tony, Tony, Tony, please stop, he's not worth it." He paused still gripping the gun," You better be glad she was here to save you. Now get the fuck out of my house mane!" And without hesitation, Leon rushed out of the house and back into his car," Who was that asshole?" " Leon, i use to like him when i was a teenager." He smirked clearly jealous of him," What you see in that guy anyways?" I shook my head shamefully," His looks." He turned away in disbelief," Figures." He put the gun down on the edge of the indoor pool and i quickly closed the front doors. After i did that i ran up behind Tony and wrapped my arms around his torso," Aaw don't be jealous." I teased, trying desperately to cheer him up," I'm not. You're just a handful." " what? How am i a handful?" He grabbed one of my hands and twirled me around so i was facing him," All these guys want a pussycat like you, but they don't know that you're mine." " so I'm you're property now?" He picked up my left hand and examined my beautiful engagement ring, i followed his eyes to my ring too," Yeah."

After the whole Leon situation, Tony had to go do some business with Manny. I sat in the living room until i started to analyze on why Leon might have come here and how he knew where i lived. The only explanation i knew was if he was stalking me or if Ma told him. So i picked up the phone and called MaMa. It rang and rang but she didnt pick up, so i tried again and it did the same. Finally, i just got up from the couch, went out the house, hopped into my car and drove to Ma's house. When i got there, i parked the car and went up to her front door. I lightly knocked even though i wanted to barge in there. Slowly the door opened and revealed MaMa," Ezra! Come in, come in sweetheart." I steadily walked into the house. Ma closed the door behind her and ran up to hug me," I missed you so much Delona." I rolled my eyes and scoffed," If you missed me so much, you would've called." " Ezra you were mad at me." " You could at least tried, so i could know that you still cared about me." " I know, i know, im sorry, now come and sit." She offered a little too enthusiastically. I raised an eyebrow," Why are you so jumpy?" " Im happy to see you sweetheart." She was obviously lying and hiding something," Ma, where is he?" " Where's who? Its just you and me here." I shook my head and rushed to the bathroom, i quickly opened the door and no one was in there. I looked in the kitchen and still no one was in here. Then i realized i forgot about my room, i glanced at Ma who seemed nervous, then back at my bedroom door. I slowly turned the knob and opened the door. Like i thought, that asshole was sitting on my bed reading my...DIARY." WHY ARE YOU HERE!?" He jumped and immediately closed my diary," Ezra calm down." " NO MA, WHY DID YOU BRING HIM KNOWING DAMN WELL IM WITH TONY!" Suddenly tears began to fall from my eyes," Why cant you just be happy for me." I disappointedly shook my head and ran out the room," I just want the best for you Ezra!" I ignored her and ran to my car and drove home. When i got home, i went upstairs to our bedroom, took off my shoes and went to bed. I need a good rest right about now.

As i was sleeping, i felt something soft and warm touch my cheek. I groggily opened my eyes," Tony?" "Yeah its me." He smiled and i reluctantly wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me up from the bed," Whats got you so tired?" I softly kissed his shaved face," Nothing, just tired i guess." He looked into my eyes and i stared back. He knew i was lying but he didn't bother trying to figure it out. Unexpectedly his lips crashed into mine and they fit perfect together. Our lips moved in sync, until he removed his lips from mine. I gasped for air and waited anxiously for him to kiss me again. I sat there for a second with my eyes closed, i opened them and Tony was grinning big at me,"i knew you wanted me." I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer," Shut up and kiss me." He chuckled as i pulled him down on top of me. We both went in for the kiss, i wrapped my legs around his waist and held him tight. I missed this so much, i craved his touch, his scent, his voice. I need him just as much as he needs me. He's the only man i'll ever love. We belong together forever.
