DONOVAN MANSION**
“Good morning, daddy” Sunny greeted, coming downstairs with a teddy in her arms.
Lucas who was sitting in the balcony smiled and ushered her to get closer.
“Good morning sunshine, how was your night?” He asked and pecked her cheeks.
“It was good, daddy, and you?”
“Good as well, have you eaten, sunshine?”
“No” Sunny pouted.
“Why? I’ve told you to times without numbers that, don’t starve yourself” Lucas scolded.
“I’m sorry, I wanted to have breakfast with Nanny Ella” She pouted cutely.
“Nanny isn’t in yet, c’mon, let’s go” Lucas carried her as they scurried to the dinning.
“What would you like to eat?” He asked as he settled her on his laps.
“Cornflakes”
“Maria..!” Lucas called one of the maids.
“Yes sir”
“Prepare a bowl of cornflakes for Sunny” he ordered and the maid scurried away.
“Daddy, where’s Nanny Ella?” Sunny asked, gazing at him innocently.
“I don’t know, but, she’ll be here in no time” Lucas said and Sunny nodded, playing with her teddy.

FIVE STAR HOTEL**
VIP SUITE**
“She’s on her way” Gilbert said and that instant, the door opened revealing the beautifully dressed Pearl.
She was putting on a short strapless black gown, which sticked to her body like second skin.
Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, leaving some strands on both sides. Her li-ps were painted with a red li-pstick and her face was adorned in makeups making her look drop dead gorgeous.
She had a black high heels with shiny silver stones on it and a black sling bag, hanging on her shoulder.
Kingston looked up and his gaze locked with hers.
“Pearl?!” He called, standing on his feet.
“Kingston?!”
They called each other, simultaneously.
Shock was boldly written on everyone’s face.
Mr. Grayson and Mr. Beckett exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
“Baby girl, come have a seat” Diane called Pearl, ushering her to sit beside Kingston.
Pearl cleared her throat and tugged a strand of her hair behind her ears. She slowly walked over to the seat, with Kingston’s gaze fixed on her.
He was shocked, at the same time, mesmerized by her beautiful. He sat down after regaining himself from the shock and cleared his throat.
“Do you guys know each other?” Gilbert (Pearl’s dad) asked.
Pearl glanced at Kingston and their gaze met. She looked away and bit her li-ps.
“Yes Dad, he’s..a friend if mine” she said lowly but clear.
“Oh, then that’s great news, it’ll be simpler to process the engagement. What do you think, Gil?” Daniel said and Gilbert nodded.
“Yes sure”
“Uh, King, hope you’re okay with her, since she’s your friend” Zeala asked and Kingston nodded, focusing on his phone.
“Okay then, we’ll make arrangements for the engagement. For now, we’ll leave you guys to get to know more about yourselves” Gilbert said and stood up with Diane.
Daniel also stood up with Zeala .
“Bye, son” Zeala ki-ssed Kingston’s cheeks before leaving with Daniel.
“Bye babygirl, catch more fun” Diane also ki-ssed Pearl’s cheeks and winked at her before leaving as well.
Pearl sighed and brou-ght out her cellphone as well. They were both engrossed in their phones, leaving the atmosphere, awkwardly.
A waitress came to their table and cleared his throat, gaining their attention.
“What would you like to order, sir and Ma’am?” She said seductively, eyeing Kingston.
Pearl glared at her and rolled her eyes, concentrating back on her phone without saying a word.
Kingston looked at her and back at the waitress before taking the menu.
“Uhm, I’ll go for two plate of spicy chicken wings and a bottle of wine” he ordered.
“Will be back” the waitress said and went to get their order.
***
“Enjoy your meal, sir” the waitress said as she dropped the meal before them.
Pearl scoffed and concentrated more on her phone doing what only God knows.
Kingston dropped his phone and stared at her with a sigh.
“Pearlita” he called tenderly.
“Hmm?” She hummed, not taking her eyes from the phone for once.
“Look at me” he insisted.
“You can say what you wanna say, I’m listening” she said, still facing her phone.
Kingston rubbed his forehead and snatched the phone from her, shoving it into his pocket.
“What the h*ll?! Give it back to me” Pearl glared at him.
“I’m not giving it back, I want your attention” Kingston rolled his eyes, ignoring the glare he was receiving.
“You’re cute” he muttered.
“Are you flirting with me?” She glared more at him.
“No, is it a sin to compliment my wife…”
“And who’s your wife?” Pearl frowned.
“You of course”
“I’m not your wife, not just yet” she rolled her eyes.
“Which means, you agree to the betrothment?” Kingston wiggled his brow.
“Never, I can never marry a dumb head like you, not even in my next life” She spat, playfully though.
“I’ll make you swallow your words” he winked and she faced her food.
“Good luck with that” Pearl muttered and started digging into her food.
Kingston sat down, staring at her li-ps as she chewed the food cutely. She was so cute and he found himself lucky to have her as his betrothed.
Just what he wanted – to have her.
“What? Why are you staring at me like you wanna eat me up?” Pearl rolled her eyes when she saw him staring lustfully at her.
“You’re beautiful”
“Thanks, enough of the sweet words and eat”

DONOVAN MANSION**
“Good morning, Lucas” Noella greeted as she entered the living room, where Lucas was sitting with Sunny.
“Nanny Ella!” Sunny shouted happily and ran to her, jumping on her.
“Hey darling, how’re you?” Ella asked as she pecked Sunny’s cheeks.
“I’m fine, I missed you” Sunny pouted and wrapped her arms around Ella’s neck, hugging her tightly.
“Same here” she said and went to sit beside Lucas on the couch, with Sunny on her laps.
“Why are you now coming, Ella? Did anything happen to you?” Lucas asked with concern evident in his voice.
“No, nothing happened. I went to the hospital” Ella answered, playing with a strand of Sunny’s hair.
“Oh, what did the doctor say? How’s my baby?” Lucas asked and Noella’s eyes wide-ned.
“What?”
“Sunny” she mouthed to Lucas and he rolled his eyes.
“It’s nothing, she has the right to know that she’s expecting a baby brother” Lucas said loud and clear which pulled Sunny’s attention.
“Baby brother? Daddy, am I having a baby brother soon?” She asked in her tiny voice, batting her eye lids.
Noella felt her cheeks heat up. This Lucas would be the end of her.
“Come here darling” Lucas carried her on his laps. “Do you want a baby brother?” He asked and Sunny nodded happily.
“Sure then, you shall have soon” he smirked, and winked at Noella.
“Yay! I’m gonna be a big sister! Yay!” Sunny rejoiced and rushed upstairs.
“Stop running, you may fall” Ella said and made to stand but Lucas pulled her down, making her end up on his laps.
He circled his arms around her wa-istand snuggled his head in her neck.
“Where do you think you’re going?” He whispered, biting and lic-king the spot, tentatively.
“Mm, Lucas..stop..it, the..ma.. maids…”
“F*ck them all, how about I treat you out for dinner?” Lucas asked, gazing at her.
Noella bit her li-ps, feeling nervous to speak.
Was he taking her on a date? Like seriously? She couldn’t help but blus-h.
“Huh? What do you think?” He asked asked again, when he didn’t get a response from her.
“Is that a date?”
“Yh, do you accept?”he asked and Noella smiled.
“Yes, so, can you let go of me?” She bit her li-ps.
Lucas stared at her li-ps and felt like running crazy. She was tempting him, so much.
“You’re doing that on purpose, right?” He breathe out, softly.
“What?”
“Nothing, just stop biting your li-ps”

“Do you have any idea on how your parents got to know about mine?” Pearl asked as she walked side-by-side with Kingston along the road.
They were done with their meals and decided to catch more fun, thereby walking and viewing the beautiful city of LA.
“No, I’ve gat no idea. Anyway, it’s an advantage for us” Kingston said as he shoved his hands in his pocket.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, we can be friends or moreso, more than friends, don’t you think?” He glanced at her and she shrugged.
“Whatever, can I get my cellphone now?” Pearl rolled her eyes and Kingston grinned.
“Yh, sure” he pulled out her phone and dialed a number, called it before handing it to her.
“Who did you call?” She squinted her brows at him and he chuckled.
“No one, let me drive you home” Kingston said and Pearl chuckled.
“Drive me? Where’s your car?”
“Here” he pointed a black car which was following them all these while.
“It’s yours?”
“Yh, I asked the driver to follow us, driving slowly in case you get tired, then I drop you off”
“It’s okay, I can board a…”
“Not when I’m here, c’mon” Kingston cut in and held her hand, pulling her to the car.

PEARL AND NOELLA’S APARTMENT***
“Thank you for the ride” Pearl appreciated, coming down from the car.
Kingston also came down and they both stopped before the door to the apartment.
“See you another day” she muttered and pushed her hair backwards.
“Can I hug you?” Kingston asked, making Pearl nervous.
“Uhm, y..yes” she stuttered lightly and he stepped closer to her, pulling her into a warm hug.
For the first five seconds, Pearl stiffened in his arms but later, relaxed and threw her arms around his torso.
His cologne filled her nose and her strawberry scent filled his senses.
They felt like not letting go of each other. After some minutes, they broke the hug, staring into each other’s eyes.
“Uhm, Kin…” the rest of the words were stuck in her throat as Kingston’s li-ps made in contact with hers.
His li-ps lingered at the corner of her li-ps and Pearl’s eyes wide-ned.
“I’ll give you a call” he smiled after pulling away and entered his car, driving out immediately.
Pearl stood shocked on her point. What the h”ll just happened?
She batted her eye lid repeatedly and touched the side of her li-ps which were ki-ssed.
“He..he..oh geez! What’s wrong with me?!” She muttered and entered the apartment.
“Well, I didn’t see the dude ki-ssing you” she heard Noella’s voice and she flinched.
“Oh gawd, Ella! You nearly gave me a heart attack!” Pearl glared, holding her chest.
“Sorry. Anyway, who’s that dude? He’s really handsome” Noella smiled dreamily, making Pearl smack her ossiput.
“Ouch! What was that?! Isn’t he cute?” Ella pouted, rubbing her ossiput.
“Get yourself a handsome guy and stop daydreaming!” Pearl glared and ascended the stairs.
“Someone’s jealous” Ella giggled and Pearl rolled her eyes.
“And oh,..” Pearl halted and faced Ella. “…what are you doing at home by this time?” She asked.
“Nothing, Lucas asked me to come and get ready” Ella shrugged.
“Ready for what?”
“Dinner, we’re going to…”
“OMG! Is it what I’m thinking?! A date?!” Pearl shrieked, rushing upstairs before Ella could say a word.
“Geez! Dramatic” she rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen.

EVENING✯AMAZON RESTAURANT**
The cold breeze of wind blew against the city of LA, sending chills to everyone’s spine.
In side a gigantic building sat a young handsome man dressed in a black tuxedo, his hair styled handsomely making him look gorgeous.
On his table was a bouquet of red rose flowers, with two wine gla-sses, plates and napkins. Petals of rose flowers were spreaded, everywhere around the table, including the chairs.
Opposite the table had an empty chair with rose petals used to decorate a heart on it.
A slow romantic song was being played on the background. Light of different colours showed dimly in the room, making everywhere smell romantic.
The man, who turned out to be Lucas, surveyed the place and a sweet charming smile escaped his li-ps.
The decors was so nice and romantically good. He felt happy within, and couldn’t wait for his date to arrive.
“Sir, Miss Noella is in” a guard entered and whispered in Lucas’ ears making him smile.
“Lead her in” he said and rubbed his palms together.
Soon, the clic-king of heels on the ground, made him look back and his mouth fell to the ground.
Wow!
She was looking breathtakingly beautiful. She was wearing a red off-shoulder bodyfitting gown which sticked to her body, revealing her curves and her small round baby bump.
The dress revealed her bare back and her hair was tied in a ponytail, letting it down on her left shoulder.
Her li-ps were painted with a red li-pstick, silver earrings adorning her ears and a silver necklace on her neck.
On her leg was a shiny silver heels – not too high – matching her earrings and necklace. She had a sling bag on her shoulder, as she clutch tight to it.
Lucas eye fed on her, making her feel nervous. Noella meekly walked towards him and he smiled.
“Hi” she greeted.
“You’re welcome…” he stood up and pulled her chair out, helping her sit before going to his chair.
A waiter approached them and they placed their order. Their order came few minutes later and they are in silence, with Lucas stealing glances at her at intervals.
***
“You look so beautiful tonight” Lucas complimented and Noella blus-hed.
“Thank you” she muttered and silence reigned between them.
“Uhm, so what are we doing next?” Noella muttered, breaking the silence.
Lucas signaled a waiter and he brou-ght a covered bowl to their table.
“Have a nice night, sir” he bowed and left.
Noella looked at the bowl, feeling confused. Didn’t they finish eating a while ago.
“Uh Lucas, what is…” before Ella could finish her words, he opened the bowl and she gasped.
A paper was lying peacefully in it with the inscription “BE MINE, ELLA” boldly on it.
Lucas stood up from his seat and went to her. He held her hands and made her stand as well, leading her to the balcony.
Standing behind her, he wrapped his arms around her wa-istand pointed to the sky.
Colourful knockouts – stars – were displaying in the sky, showing some writings.
“Will you…
Be my…
Girlfriend…” Noella read slowly as the writings displayed.
