Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 49
? Kimâs p.o.v?
Things have been going surprisingly well, itâs a known fact that I love Ashton. Yes I love the guy and he have been so sweet to me ever since which have been like a dream come true.
We were taking things slowly we both knew the limit and believe me it was helping our case and I believe with time, Charlotte would have the perfect family she have always wished for but we had to take things gently. No rush.
Julia is an entirely forgotten case. It have been six months since she got into an accident,she have been discharged and she have already been charged to court for attempted murder and a load of other crimes since she has executed the death of many people and I find that pretty sad.
Her mom was devastated of course and for a spilt second I actually felt pity for her,but on remembering all I went through,i felt more angry. She deserves everything that is happening to her right now and more.
Ashtonâs mom case is another matter entirely,she have been trying really hard to get to talk to me. I didnât feel angry towards her but a part of me still thinks she is doing this to get on the good side of her son since we are probably going to be together and not that she regrets picking Julia over me. She really mistreated me in the past for no reason and I honestly donât think I can just let that go.
So in summary, things have been pretty good between Ashton and I since there was no obstacle between us anymore,so we were just tryna discover ourselves and yes we spent more time bonding with Charlotte and I think even though we are not perfect right now,we are close to perfect.
âWhat are you grinning at?â Tylerâs voice brought me out of my subconscious.
I raised an eyebrow ânothing reallyâ.
âSure itâs nothing,you have been spacing out a lot huh?â He was saying until the doorbell rang
âYou answer thatâ I said gesturing to the doorbell.
âNow this is just being disrespectfulâ he whined but he still went ahead to open the door.
A good gentleman.
âBustamanteâ I heard Tyler say.
âCall me Ashton outside the office,I am just 31 you knowâ Ashton teased.
âI would keep that in mind buddyâ
âYou always say that. Where is Kim?â
Tyler looked around the room,I was watching their entire conversation from behind the shelf. âShe was here a while ago. Looks like she bailed out on youâ he teased.
âI bet she wouldnât do that⊠Kim! Kimâ he called. Okay this was getting interesting.
He moved few steps away from tyler who was still standing by the door ,his eyes roaming around the room.
âOuchâ I heard Ashton say rubbing his knee area. He must have hit his knee on one of the furnitures.
I snickered and that managed to get Tylerâs attention whose eyes locked with mine immediately,he raised an eyebrow and was about to talk when I silenced him with my eyes.
âEasy buddyâ he called after Ashton. âI would be on my way now. I gat to be somewhereâ.
âOkay?â
âTell Kim I said byeâ he said again like I wasnât listening to whatever he was saying.
Sly.
âOkayâ he said again.
After about five more minutes of Ashton looking around the sitting room,I finally got tired of standing on my tiptoe and I bent to take of my heels but that was a mistake because it made a loud thumpy sound and Ashton definitely heard because his head snapped to the shelf area immediately. He already saw me and I grimaced,no more hide and seek.
âOkay stop playing Kimâ he said trying to sound strict but he failed woefully because there was a smile on his face.
âKim?â Someone called and I turned back immediately. I frowned immediately I saw who it was.
It was Brenda and man,was I happy to see her?
No,I wasnât happy to see her again and I definitely didnât expect to see her in my kidâs school.
My head swirled through 360 thoughts in one minute,she couldnât prolly be here to harm my daughter or any child here right?
Donât blame me,the lady is not to be trusted. She was trusted once but not once again.
âWhat are you doing here?â I blurt out.
She forced a smile. âI mean no harm,I am here to pick my son upâ she said and I froze.
âYou have a son?â
âYes I do. He is three years old and he schools here tooâ she explained.
âOkay?â I said in an attempt to end the conversation.
âKim,can I talk to you for a second?â She asked again.
âWhy?â I retorted.
âI just want to talk⊠pleaseâ.
âI appreciate it, but I donât want to talk to youâ I deadpanned.
âJust a moment, pleaseâ she persisted.
I huffed before turning around. âOkay talkâ I told her.
As I expected she was just gonna apologise,of course her mentor is already locked up in jail.
That was what I thought until she told me she have lost touch with Julia over the years,that she wasnât exactly a good influence and she spoilt her life in so many ways. She went on to explain how Julia have introduced her into doing drug which she had to use a huge amount of money to flush her system and how her unhealthy usage of drug has affected her sonâs health.
I honestly felt bad for the little boy,but this was all her fault. She should have thought about her actions before taking it. She went on to tell me how Julia introduced her to the guy that got her pregnant and she never told her that the man was married and just wanted a good time,she had thought the man was single and needed a serious relationship but it was opposite of what she expected. He just wanted to have someone to f–k whenever he was outside his home and that unfortunately had to be her.
She didnât look so good,she wasnât looking good at all and I felt really bad for her. She said the man was nice enough to provide their son with child support monthly so she was doing well financially but not mentally.
I donât know if I can forgive her yet. Even if I would,I donât think this is the right time. I wouldnât have done something to her if the table was turned so I had no f—–g idea why she would sell me out to the enemy.
I have learnt to put the past behind and focus on our beautiful future but that doesnât mean I would just forget all the pain and hurt I went through in an instant.
We parted ways and wished the best for each other. I honestly wished her the best and I wish she stays well to take care of her cute son.
He needed her to be strong for him.
âDonât you think this is a bit over the extreme. Itâs just a date Lucy,just a date a movie date and you are decking me up this wayâ I whined for the uptheenth time but Lucy wasnât budging.
Yes,I had a date tonight and I was looking forward to the date. I was actually elated for the date but the mistake I made was to mention it to the old woman here and she have been fussing about that since,I was actually beginning to think she was the one going on the date. It was endearing and annoying at the same time.
âYou need to look good as a lady. Itâs not everyday you get the opportunity to be glamâ she said and I huffed earning one of her âwhat do you mean ?â look.
She went on for about thirty more minutes before clapping her hands and giggling. âGreat,you look so beautifulâ she gushed and I looked at the mirror. I was really looking beautifulâŠmore beautiful, but a part of me still thinks that I am overdressing.
âitâs just a dinner date kimâ my sub conscious said and I frowned.
âWhatâs it? Donât you like it?â She asked.
âNo, itâs beautifulâŠI just think I am doing too muchâ.
She beamed with smile again. âOf course not,I think this is just perfect for the occasionâ.
âWhat occasion?â I asked and she looked surprised before forcing a smile.
âDonât mind me,I was just joking around. This dress is good for the movieâ.
I looked down at the dress.
âOkay. I think itâs great too. All thanks to youâ I concurred.
The gown was a sequinned wine gown with feathers at the rim of the dress,it was slit from the thigh area down to the end of the dress. I wore it with a matching wine high heel.
âHe is here Kim, câmonâ she said before dragging my hand.
She was energetic for a woman her age.
âHold on,I need to say goodbye to Charlotteâ I said and she shook her head.
âNo,I donât think thatâs necessary. She is so engrossed in whatever she is doingâ she said dismissing me.
âButâŠâ
âNo buts,I think she is fine on her own and you shouldnât bother her. You have to go, Ashton is waitingâ.
âOkayâ I said defeated.
âSo where are we going?â I asked Ashton for the umpteenth time.
âWe are going to watch a movieâ I replied smirking.
âThatâs not the way to the Cinema. I am not that dumbâ.
âI didnât know you knew the location of every Cinema in NYCâ.
âI didnât say thatâŠI was just tryna say I didnât know the location of the one we are going toâ.
âOkayâ.
âJust okay?â
âOkay. Sit and stay calm. We would be there soon okay?â
âOkayâ.
âGreat thenâ he smiled at me before focusing his attention on the road again.
âIt looks pretty noisy hereâ I told Ashton as we made our way to the cinema building.
âYes,there is a hall after this building and I think something is going on thereâ he explained.
âOhâ I said before looking around. The place was quite large and breathtaking,more like a Hamlet. It was like a multipurpose plaza,there was a mall,a hall,a cinema,church and even a hospital and every other essential building you could think of. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
âItâs beautifulâŠveryâ I told him
âYes itâs. Just like youâ he replied before giving me a quick kiss on my lips.
âLetâs go and catch a viewâ Ashton said before taking my hand.
We were done watching the movie now and honestly I canât recall the name of the movie or most of the scenes because we spent most of our time in there making out
âOkayâ I nodded.
We walked for a few more minutes before we stopped behind a different colored lighted ledge. Few people were present watching the view too,more like looking down at the beautiful view of the city at night from a very high place.
The city was beautiful at night because of the different colored lightings and the fireworks that were on display.
âThis is beautifulâ I said aloud committing every single inch of tonight into my memory.
âYeah it isâ Ashton concurred. I guess he was enjoying the view too, because he have been unusually silent.
Yes,the view was that beautiful.
âKim?â Ashton called
âHuhâ I replied still not tearing my eyes away from the beautiful sight.
âKimâ he said again with a tone of urgency.
Urghh! Now,I have to tear my eyes away from this view.
âYes whatâŠâ My sentence was cut short by the view by my side.
It was more beautiful than the view I teared my gaze from because Ashton was on one knee with an opened case in front of him.
âWhat are youâŠâ I was saying until he interrupted me.
âKim,your coming into my life has been a blessing in disguiseâ he smiled nervously. âI can remember clearly how everything happened,how I came up with the very idea that brought us together. I didnât get it then,but that was the exact day everything changed,I kept on telling myself otherwise for several months but it turned out i was lying to myself and I was already falling for you. All those feelings were new to me and I had no idea how to deal with it so I behaved like the jerk I am againâ we both chuckled. âI lived in regret for the few years after that particular day, because I felt like I should have done things differently and I shouldnât have behaved the way I did. I was glad when you stepped into my company five years later, then and there I made up my mind that I was gonna do everything to correct the mistake I made because I still wanted you and I think you are the one for me. I had mixed feelings when I got to know that we had a daughter,I was happy that I got a child and I was so sad that I didnât spend the most important days of her life with her but now I know there are many important days to come. I love you Kim and I always did but I was just too scared to admit it but now I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you,with our daughterâ he paused and at this point I was already crying. âKim,would you please marry me?â He finally asked.
I nodded vigorously. âYes I willâ.
Who wouldnât?
âYou will?â
âOf course i willâ I said again stretching my finger out and he slipped the ring onto my ring finger before letting out a deafening scream.
âYessssssssssâ he screamed and the people present clapped their hands in excitement,some even took pictures.
I was embarrassed in a good way,I didnât even know there were watching the drama that was unfolding and how I cried like a little child.
âI love you so much Kimâ he said before hugging me.
âLove you moreâ I replied before pulling away.
âCâmon,Letâs go the party. We shouldnât keep them in suspense that muchâ he said.
âWhat party?â I asked.
He grinned and that made me frown. âThe party of course,you donât think I would propose to you without a proper engagement partyâ.
âBut you didnât tell meâ I whined.
âIt was meant to be a surpriseâ.
âWhat if I have said no?â I asked,he couldnât be so sure of himself.
âItâs possible but I knew you wouldnât say no. You love me too much for thatâ he said and I rolled my eyes.
âArrogant much?â I teased.
âYes but you love meâ he retorted.
âYes I doâ.
He kissed me on the cheek again. âCâmon Letâs goâ.
The party was slowly coming to an end so I came outside for some air. I wasnât choking,I was too happy for that. Infact I was outside because Ashton had to speak with some people and I needed air.
Most of the people I knew attended the party. There was Tyler, Tylerâs sister,Lucy, Charlotte and Tylerâs close family member. I was happy with everyone there for coming to celebrate one of tge memorable days of my life. At first I was mad at Lucy for not telling me that was the reason she decked me up in make-up and honestly, tyler is a sly. He has come to love Ashton more than he loves me after our many years of friendship.
The guy needs to be spanked.
I wouldnât have believed I would get married to Ashton for real if I was told because I felt he was out of my league and we were not compatible considering the way he once treated me and looking back at all I went through,I finally realized itâs worth it. I suffered really bad then but I know I wonât be suffering like that anymore because we have a rosy future in front of us. Marriage wonât be an easy feat but with love and understanding I believe we can get through any obstacle.
I was grateful for my past because it brought me to where I am today and I am also grateful for everyone I met during my journey because they have all impacted my life one way or the other.
My thoughts were cut short when someone wrapped a jacket around my shoulder. It was undeniably Ashton.
âPenny for your thoughts?âhe asked before shrugging his arm over my shoulder.
âI was just thinking about usâŠdo you think we can do this marriage thing?â I asked him and he turned me to face him immediately..
âYes,I believe in us and I believe we would have a great marriageâŠa very beautiful oneâ.
âI believe that tooâ I told him sincerely.
âWe would get through anything as long as we have each other and Charlotteâ he assured me.
âYes we willâ I concurred.
âI love you so much kimâŠyou have no idea how much I love youâ.
âI love you tooâ I told him before connecting his lips with mine.
He was once my boss,my fake fiancee,my BABYâS FATHER,my boyfriend and now my soon to be husband but he is still my BABYâS FATHER though and I love him so d–n much.
Life is really beautiful.
