Alyssa’s Pov:
I woke up the next morning and found myself lying all alone on the bed.
I stretched and yawned and just then, Mico walked in; making a call.
“Yes. I’ve paid for everything already . so I wouldn’t want any obstruction.
“Okay. Bye” he said on the phone and ended the call.
“Hey” he called and pecked me on thethe cheek and I smiled.
“Good morning” I replied a little shyly.
He looked into my face for a short time.
“I’ll take it your night was lovely?” He asked and I smiled and nodded.
“Uhm… I need to leave now” I said.
“I need to get ready for school. Remember the contest is taking place this morning”.
He nodded and stood up and went to a drawer in the room.
Then he returned with a phone packet.
Huh?
“Here; I got you a phone” he said as he handed the phone to me.
“I collected it and brought it out and wow! It was 10× more beautiful than the first one.
“Everything necessary has already been done for you” he said and I turned on the phone and discovered that everything was really in it – a registered sim, the schools group chat… everything!
“Thanks” I told him with a smile as I admired the phone.
Then next, I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room with him and as we did, he held by
he held me by the waist.
Gosh! I guess you’d have to get used to this, Alyssa.
I can’t believe I just had a boyfriend; my first lover.
What’s it going to be like?
We walked into the sitting room and met his mum and sisters there.
Oh-oh. His mum.
I always kind of feel nervous around her.
But she seems to be kind.
“Alyssa, you’re awake” Karen said immediately she saw me and stood up with her sisters.
“How was your night, Alyssa?” Olivia asked and brought out her hand for a handshake and I kind of wondered why.
“It was fine. Good morning” I replied with a smile and noticed she touched my ring and smiled.
Oh!
“Good morning, ma” I said to Mrs Virigilio, bowing my head a little.
“Good morning dear. how was your… hold on; I thought Alyssa slept in the girls room? Why’s she with Mico?” She suddenly asked and my eyes deemed.
Karen itched her head and everybody kept quiet.
“Has everyone suddenly lost their tongues?” She asked inquisitively.
“You should talk to your daughters mum. They chased her out of the room” Mico replied and started walking out of the room with me.
“What?” I heard Mrs Virigilio exclaim.
“Mom it’s not what you think. We just sent her to check if Mico was sleeping…”. Octavia tried speaking.
“Keep quiet.
By the way, Alyssa. It was nice meeting you” she said and I suddenly felt ecstatic.
I turned and smiled at her.
“Thank you ma” I said with a slight bow.
“And I love your new ring, Alyssa” Karen also said and I chuckled and faced the door which Mico had already opened.
“What about the ring?” I heard Mrs Virigilio ask but I couldn’t hear any other thing as I finally walked out of the room with Mico.
“Your family’s so lovely” I told him as he held my hand and walked me to the garage.
“Yes. Well, maybe” he said and shrugged.
We got to the garage and I found two men standing beside two flashy cars – red and blue.
“Hurry up so you don’t get late for the contest, okay?” He told me and I nodded.
Then he held my cheeks and gave me a snogging kiss on the lips.
Oh, my!
I can’t believe I’m really the one doing all these things with Mico.
Few weeks ago, would I have imagined it?
“Bye” I said with a smile and walked into the red car which had already been opened for me.
The driver closed the door and took off and the blue car drove behind us.
But why does it need to follow us anyway?
I sat at the back seat and smiled, remembering all that had happened the previous night.
I wish I could make it repeat itself.
I looked at the ring and blushed.
Oh, my God!
I just became Mico’s girlfriend!
Isn’t this a dream?
Seriously, I feel like screaming!
I touched my cheeks and giggled and the driver turned to look at me.
Goodness; I’m so happy.
This is a dream come true for me.
Mico’s mine.
I brought out my new expensive classic phone from my bag and turned it on.
Then I logged into the group chat and… what???
Our pictures were trending everywhere – Mico and I – and it was noted we were dating.
Holy Christ!
How did this spread out so soon?
The cover photo of the group chat had even changed to our picture and it was the picture we had taken during the prom night.
Then one of the pictures I saw was from last night incidence when he had kissed me during the truth or dare.
God!
This is definitely the work of Mico’s sisters.
I kept strolling down and the students comments were amusing:
? Oh my God! They’re such a perfect match…
? Alyssa’s so lucky…
? Awwn. Mico proposed to Alyssa!
I kept reading them in disbelieve and couldn’t stop smiling.
Probably in the next few hours, the news is going to be all over the country.
Jesus Christ!
Ordinary Alyssa who’s mother sells Slippers? And who’s mother forces to hawk rice cakes sometimes?
What am I going to do?
How’s it going to look like if the girlfriend of Mico Salvatore is seen hawking in the street?
Or trekking to school?
Oh, God!
I was carried away by my phone and didn’t even care to check where the car was going.
Suddenly, the car stopped and I lifted my head and saw myself in an unfamiliar place.
Why did the driver stop?
I looked through the windpw and noticed a dazzling mansion was standing in front of us.
The house was very big and beautiful and looked like an hotel.
Then the driver hunned the car and the big gate was opened for us and we drove in.
Wait; exactly is going on?
Where are we? And why?
I pondered as the driver drove in the vast compound and parked in the garage which had about two cars in it.
Then he came out and opened the door for me and I stepped out as well.
I was about flooding him with questions, but immediately I took a proper look at the house in front of me, I became speechless.
It was a two storey building, painted in white and pink and decorations were too cute.
It could almost be compared to Mico’s house, although Mico’s house was still unbeatable.
But why did we come here?
“Wh… why did you bring me here?” I turned to the driver and ask and he looked at me and smiled.
“Sir Mico asked us to bring you here. This is your new house, ma’am Alyssa” he replied and I flinched.
My eyes deemed and my heart gave a mighty leap.
What was he talking about?
