"What would you have?" Aletta asked flipping through the page. She understood the menu because she had to book in advance what Joshua would eat whenever he visited this place but she had never had a taste of it before so she was confused about what to pick.

"What do you want to have?" Joshua asked back.

"What's good here?"

"Everything, the chef here is excellent"

"Then I would have whatever the waiter recommends" she replied closing the menu and dropping it to the table before taking the cup to her mouth.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, why would you ask that?" Aletta's answer was a strong defence. Nothing was wrong but she was not sure of what she was about to it and if she should be doing it.

She wondered if she was acting on impulse. She wondered what his reaction would be. She wondered if it would make her look and sound desperate. Her mind was running around the whole place but she made up her mind and there was no going back for her.

    "What?" Joshua asked his cup in hand and in the air still waiting for her glass to clink with his. "Let's toast to me asking you to marry me," she said again. It was as though the confidence she had lost she suddenly regained. She sat up straight and stared at him in the eyes. Joshua stared at her continuously without moving as he was unable to properly process what was going on at that time. "Joshua? So?" she urged waiting for his response. "But you said...you said that.." he let out in a stutter unable to correctly articulate all the words. "I know what I said before but I am saying this now, are you not going to respond" Now she was panicking, she dropped the cup to the table and pressed her fingers to the table while staring at him. "Of course, you know I have always wanted to marry you but you had been against it for such a long time I don't know how you want me to react but this is shocking," Joshua said making no sense to her. She laughed and then held his hands tha

    "Where are we going? What about our food? Are we just going to leave like this?" she asked as he pulled her out of her seat. "We have somewhere important to go" "But the food" she whined, she was hungry and was really looking forward to eating everything they had been served. "I would get you something better" he said taking up her bag that was hanging on the chair. He began to walk toward the exit and Aletta followed behind him. "Where are we going?" Aletta asked as they approached the car. He was not saying anything and it was killing her. She wanted to know why they were just leaving in the middle of their meal. She was struggling to keep up with his long strides. "You'll see" he said looking back at her. "Wait up then" she said trying to catch up, he slowed down till she was beside him and then they began waking but at a fast pace. They got to the car and both got in before Joshua began to drive away. "Are you really not going to tell me why we left our meal unto

    Aletta chose a ring after much pleading and pushing from Joshua. She had wanted to let it be when she noticed that the rings cost more than triple her yearly salary. How could she think of wearing something that fancy? He had to take a lot of convincing from him to be able to make her decide to take a ring. She finally picked one. "It's so beautiful but I don't know if it fits my finger," she said taking her hand up into the air and admiring the huge rock in her hand. "Of course, it fits your finger, it's as though it was made for your finger" Joshua said opening the door to the car and waiting for her to get in. She slid in her eyes still fixated on the ring on her hand. Joshua closed the door with a huge smile on his face as he turned over to the driver's side. "You do know you did not ask me to marry you right?" Aletta said as he slammed his door shut. "What?" Confusion climbed his face as he turned to her. "You did not get down on one knee and ask me to marry you, you

    As they entered into the apartment they had decided to move in together Aletta was sure that those pictures were already circulating the net and that she was probably already receiving a lot of hate already. Joshua has convinced her to let them spend the night together at the house they wanted to live together. She did not mind even though she had no change of clothes it was okay because she wanted to be with him even if it was for a second more. "How bad are we trending right now?" Joshua asked as she came to plop on the couch beside her. He handed her a bottle of water that was already opened. "What do you think?" she asked shooting him a death glare before dropping her phone and chugging down the water. "I was only joking about the proposal and you knew that, did you have to do that in the middle of such a busy road?" she asked nudging him in the hand. "What, I thought you liked it" "I did like it" Aletta confessed and Joshua made a sound. "But..." she trailed off raising her

    "Hello Mom," Joshua said over the phone. "Mom ? I did not realize that I was your mother" Jessica said. Joshua rolled his eyes and of course, his mom had to be dramatic. "Mom, why are you doing this?" "Why am I doing this? Xavier hear what your son is saying to me. I can't believe it" Jessica screamed and Joshua heard some shuffling before a grunt from his father. "Mom, I am sorry, it was unplanned," Joshua said. Yes, he had it in mind to wed Aletta but his proposal plan was not anything like this, he did not even know what his proposal plan was, he was waiting for her to come to him and she did without him having any time whatsoever to think it through. "You mean you proposed to a girl without thinking about it" Jessica asked with a gasp. "Mom , I will explain later when we see. I would also bring Aletta along so you can hear her own side of the story" Joshua said. "Are you with her?" Jessica asked about ignoring her son. "Of course" Joshua replied. "I thought as much, I m

    "That was my mom's welcome speech to you, asking you to join our family" Joshua said sitting beside her and then slipping the phone to the table. "You already asked me I did not know it before but it seems like I really needed to hear that from your mom" "Of course, it's so important that after we see my mom in the morning we go see your mom as well. I am sure she has a lot she'd want to tell me" Joshua continued. Aletta was going to bring it up but she did not want it to be as though she was pressuring him. "Really?" she asked her face lightening up in excitement. "Of course, how could I think of going on to marry you without first speaking to your mom" he inched closer to her. "Joshua" she let out breathlessly as his heavy breath kept landing on her face and her ears kept on picking up the sound. "Aletta, I know what you are thinking but it's not it," he said withdrawing. "I definitely told you I was going to wait for you and you can take as long as you want, I mean if you ev

    "I never expected to hear about your engagement from the media" Jeanne said as soon as Aletta's leg entered into the house. It was as though she had been waiting for her to come. Aletta jumped startled a bit before her eyes landed on the girl in front of her flashing the huge diamond on her finger. "And I did not think you would get engaged so secretly either" Aletta shot back at her. Jeanne flashed the ring in her face with the giggle of a high schooler. "He asked while we were out for dinner at a park, what could I have said? No? I love that man too much to refuse to spend my entire life with him" Hearing him Aletta could not help but agree, she understood every word Jeanne said and the ones she left unspoken. She was not sure how she was supposed to go on with life if she lost Joshua for any reason whatsoever. "Your ring is nice, and your brother has been standing here for the past minute without a single word from you to me" Joshua said cutting through the conversatio

    "Anette, did you see this?" Leslie asked sliding the phone over the table to her daughter. Since the incident with Brian, she has been very quiet that no one could imagine what she was thinking. Anette still went on with her wedding preparations which were going to be held in about three weeks. Anette took up the phone and read through it. "Seen that already," she said throwing a grape to her mouth. "And?" Leslie asked gently. For every reason within her, she wished that Anette would feel something from the news of Aletta and Joshua and realize she was meant for him and not Richard. "I am so happy for them, I mean this must be huge for them," Anette said with a shrug. "You are okay with this?" Leslie was surprised this news did not stir up some kind of emotion within her. Was her daughter finally crazy? Did she not have any sense of reasoning because of the baby she was carrying? "Yes Mom, I am getting married to Richard so I don't need to know what is going on with Aletta an

"Joshua you know I do not like being late for any of these events" Aletta screamed back at him. Altetta paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. "You know you should not be screaming while you are this pregnant"Joshua said as he came down the stairs with his daughter in his hands. "If you had come down earlier then I would have had no reason to scream that much" she retorted and he smiled. "It was my little pumpkin here who kept me waiting" Joshua replied as he got to stand b

    "I am so happy for you, this is finally happening," Aletta said holding the arms of Jeanne excited."I am excited but also nervous very nervous does anyone have calming pills?" Jeanne said slipping her hands off Aletta's hand and feeling the sweat on her palm."Calm down, it's just you and Thiago, everyone else is just like a rock. I promise you once you get on that altar every of that nervousness would be gone" Aletta continued. "Thank you," Jeanne said sarcastically."Are you nervous because its mu brother? I can help you run away from this right now" Nichole suggested and Alethea rolled her eyes. "Are all sisters this way? This was the same advice you gave Aletta the other day" Alethea said and Jeanne shook her head. "How can I leave, I have been dreaming of this day" Jeanne replied. "Then calm down even though I don't know why you would dream of marrying my brother but we all choose our battles I guess" Nichole shrugged as she sat down."Nichole" Aletta chastised because she k

    "You have to get to work" Aletta said rubbing the hand of Joshua gently. They had arrived back from their honeymoon over the weekend and this Monday morning was the first time Joshua was going back to work after the wedding."Can't I just lay down here with you all day?" he said taking out her hand and pulling her down to his level."You kept saying that and prolonged the honeymoon by two weeks,""Call me a criminal for wanting to spend time with my wife, I am getting the feeling that you do not want to spend any time with me" Joshua said opening one eye and giving her a judging look. "Joshua, you know that is not true, so get up now""You are no longer my assistant, you are supposed to be begging me to stay a bit more with you""What makes you think I don't want to do that?" Aletta asked taking his dishevelled morning hair back from his face."Because you keep urging me to get back to work so quickly, it's like you can't wait to get rid of me" Joshua took his head back to the pillow

    "Mom don't cry again, you might get a serious headache at this rate," Aletta said rubbing the back of her mother while in a hug. The entire wedding was over already and the whole family was seeing the couple off as they were going directly to the airport for their honeymoon. "Come on, at this rate they might miss their flight" Leon said trying to pull Eunice off her daughter. She had been bawling the entire ceremony, if someone saw her they would think it was a sad occasion. "My daughter," Eunice said as she finally pulled away and took a step back. "I am so happy and so proud of you because you managed or find love for yourself even after everything" Eunice sniffled and smiled. "Thank you, Mom," Aletta said with a smile. "You better get going now" Jessica said stepping forward."We are on our way now" Joshua said pulling open the door and gesturing for Aletta to get in."Call us when you get there" Jessica called after the shut door."Do not call us" Xavier said as if he was giv

    "I was always unsure about how I felt about you, You were always around me, taking care of me and I felt anxious whenever you were out of sight. A little secret that was the reason I always made you work overtime even when it was not necessary" Joshua said and there was a burst of small laughter across the room.They were both standing in from of the priest and altar but they had decided to take their custom written vows there. Joshua cleared his throat and looked up from his paper to stare at Aletta whose eyes never left his face. He flashed a small warm mile to her and she returned it."I never realized my feelings for you until you made that drunken confession that night that caused us to go into a relationship. I had always thought about marriage but for me, it was the only way for me to make children that would take over the company one day, being with you makes me so excited to think of waking up every morning with you by my side, I think of planting kisses on your lips and spend

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Alethea asked Aletta who was sitting in the waiting room with her shaky hands. "Yes I am, who wouldn't be?" Aletta asked as she closed her eyes to steady her breath. "I mean you are very right, who would like to marry my annoying brother, as much as I would like to call you my sister in law I can help you escape if you wish to" Jeanne chimed in. "Thank you so much for the suggestion, I am nervous about this and not rethinking my decision. I can't wait to be married to him" Aletta said as her eyes shot open. "Ew" Jeanne said as she gaged. " What do you see in him?" she added as she picked at her nails. "Everything I want to see" Aletta added. "Jeanne stop trying to put ideas in her head" Jessica cautioned coming towards them. "What did I do?" Jeanne whined."I heard what you said" Jessica replied giving Jeanne a warning look. Jesica knew that her daughter was playing around but she did not want Aletta taking any of the words to heart. "I know I have s

    "Mom's boyfriend would be here soon," Alethea said as she dropped the dish in her hand to the table. "I can not believe that I am being made to meet my mom's boyfriend at her age" "What I can not believe is that she can't order out but is making us to make food for him"Alethea whined as she moved back to the kitchen."What is even more crazy is that she is in a relationship again" Aletta exclaimed as she moved behind Alethea. "Don't get me wrong I guess I am glad she is finding love again" "Same here, if she is happy then there is no issue. Love is in the air" Aleteha added coming back to the table "So why don't you have anyone to share the love with?" Aletta asked. They were making the last trip from the kitchen to the table. "Says you? Who told you that I do not have someone to share this love with?" Alethea said dragging out her sentence and a weird smile climbing her face."Alethea you are hiding something from me" Aletta said going to clutch her sister's hand. "Spill now" sh

    Aletta and Joshua tried to reach Anette and Richard but it was as if they had fallen off the radar. "At least we tried" Aletta said as she set down the phone to the table. "Happy now?" Joshua asked and she nodded. "I guess I have to get going now" she said taking up her phone from the table."Where to? You just got here" Joshua was sad because they had finalized her resignation and she had not been around him like he wanted her to be. He was happy regardless that she was doing what she loved. "I have to go finalize things with HR on hiring your new assistant and then I have to go shopping with your mom and sister" Aletta explained. "Can we at least have dinner together?" Joshua asked and started expressing shock when he saw the expression on her face. "We can not? I barely see you anymore these days" he whined like a child who was cheated of having any ice cream. "I am having dinner with my family, mom is introducing her boyfriend to us today and honestly, I love spending time wi

    "Did you hear about Anette?" Aletta asked as she pushed the jar of pickles into the hands of Joshua. They had picked a date for the wedding and it was in three weeks. They were having one of the date nights where they stayed back home and cooked for each other. "What happened to her?" Joshua asked. Anette shook her head in bewilderment, how could this man be so oblivious to everything happening around him?"Have you seen her in a while?" Aletta asked. She wanted to know how much he did not know. "Well, since that day she came to our house, I did not think much of it when I did not see her again," Joshua said truthfully before taking off the lid of the jar. "But you know she called off her wedding and left the country so abruptly with Richard?" Aletta asked hoping that he at least knew about that fact. Yes, Anette did hurt them all but it would be too mean to not care about her when she had sincerely apologized."Maybe they did not want the wedding again?" Joshua asked shrugging. Al
