~ New York City, 2002~

It was Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year! New York City's streets were decked out with stunning lights and plants.

Stephanie stood in front of the Rockefeller Center plaza, marveling at the gorgeous Christmas tree. Thousands of light bulbs were used to ornament the tree, which was capped with a new Swarovski star.

Stephanie's wavy black hair flowed loosely on her shoulders as she gazed up and stared at the star with a big smile on her face.

She kept her arms crossed under her Beige sweater to keep warm.

A red turtleneck and white palazzo trousers were worn underneath the sweater. She accessorized her look with a Saint Laurent medium sunset shoulder bag and a Saint Laurent lace-up boot.

Water vapor streamed out of her nostrils as she breathed out. She let out a big exhale, and more water vapor from her mouth. As she stared at the lightbulbs, she became lost in thought.

Her mind drifted back to her most recent Christmas Eve in New York City. Owen, her first lover, had stood in this very area with her.

Owen was her boss when she met him at work that year. Owen thought Stephanie was the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen, and things between them quickly heated up. Stephanie, who perceived Owen as a charming and compassionate boss, made things simple for Owen. They were infatuated with each other and became couples in no time.

Stephanie began to observe some odd tendencies in Owen as time went on, such as him being angry and paying little or no attention to her. When she tried to figure out what had gone wrong, she realized Owen was married to a lady from another nation.

Their relationship came to an end because she was heartbroken. She lost touch with Owen and moved on from her previous job.

Stephanie had vowed to never date another man since that time.

She always convinced herself, "I adore the single life."

*

Stephanie inhaled and exhaled deeply and checked her wristwatch on her left wrist; it read 10 p.m. She needed to get home so she could rest and prepare for the next day. Her family would be paying her a visit.

She heard a euphonic voice behind her as she was going to walk away.

"You've been staring at that star for 40 minutes; I'll get you one so you may stare at it all day."

Her cheeks flushed, and she turned around to see who was speaking in such a pleasant tone.

She noticed a young, attractive man with golden brown hair and an ivy league cut. He was dressed in a black round-neck shirt beneath a white wool overcoat. His black jeans were paired with brown boots. He stood 5'9 in height. Because Stephanie was 5'4 tall, he stood taller than her.

In his hands, he held two reusable coffee cups, one of which he extended to her.

"This is for you,"

As he spoke, he exhaled water vapor and smiled contagiously. Stephanie's cheeks flushed with a smile.

"I appreciate it," she said as she collected the cup.

He sighed and turned to face the tree's star.

"It's absolutely lovely."

Stephanie shifted her gaze back to the tree, and the man was beside her. Both of them fixed their gaze on the star.

"It's late,"

People were already leaving as he looked around.

"I was ready to walk away when I heard you talk behind me."

"I'm really sorry for sabotaging your plans." Sebastian is my name. What about you, pretty one? What's your name?"

She guffawed and bowed her head as he gazed at her.

“Stephanie.”

"Wow, that's a beautiful name." Stephanie, it's a pleasure to meet you.” With his eyes locked on hers, he drank coffee from the cup.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you." She brushed her fingers on the cup in her hand.

"Drink it before it becomes cold."

She bowed her head and looked at the cup.

"Sebastian, thank you for the coffee and your time. I'm going to leave now."

"Are you going home or are you going out for the night?"

"I don't know where else to go, so I'm going home." Sebastian, nice meeting you once again."

She walked away, turning her back on him. Sebastian wasn't going to let her slip through his fingers, so he chased her down and spoke to her once more.

"I'll give you a ride home."

Stephanie grinned and shook her head as she stared at him.

"Don't worry about that; you've already done enough for me tonight."

"I insist, Stephanie, Believe me when I say that you will like this ride." Stephanie let out a sigh and a nod of her head.

“Okay.”

Stephanie laughed as Sebastian excitedly leapt and punched the air. He struck her as a fascinating individual.

"Wait right here. I'll be back with the ride immediately now."

Stephanie folded her hands and waited for him to return with the ride as he hurried away.

She drew her head down and fixed her gaze on her boot. With her foot, she was busy drawing things on the paved ground.

She soon heard the rumble of a motorcycle approaching her. When she looked up, she noticed Sebastian was riding it. He came to a halt where she was standing. He was riding a Ducati 998.

“Wow.”

"Do you think it's good?" She nodded as he handed her the helmet.

"I'm amazed; this is the Ducati brand's newest model."

“Wow. You're an expert in motorcycles. I'm blown away... "Come on, let's get this party started."

He used his head as a signal while wearing his helmet. Stephanie put on her helmet and climbed aboard.

She leaned forward in her chair, holding him. His scent entered her nostrils as she did so, and she closed her eyes to savor it.

She adored the way he smelled.

"Hold on tight... you're in for a long ride."

"It can't be that far; my house isn't far away. It's the second house from here on the third street."

"First, I'd take you on a tour, then I'd drive you home."

He cranked up the engine of the motorcycle and sped away. Stephanie drew him closer to her, her eyes closed. Her hair started to fly in the air as the rest of it was let out. Stephanie and he both kept their backs low.

Stephanie giggled intermittently as he sped down the clean road. Dangerous was amusing to her to some level.

Stephanie found herself wanting to raise her hands in the air. She gradually let go of Sebastian, and when he realized what had happened, he slowed down his ride. She finally let go of him and raised her arms in the air.

Sebastian chuckled as he continued to ride after she burst out laughing. She drank from her coffee cup on a regular basis.

“Haa!!”

She screamed gleefully at the top of her lungs. She didn't want it to come to an end. She hadn't felt this happy in a long time.

***

As Sebastian came to a halt in front of Stephanie's house, the motorcycle's noise faded. She got off the bike after releasing her hard grasp on him.

"Wow," She exclaimed.

She shook her head to rearrange her hair after removing the helmet. He took the helmet and placed it on the bike after she handed it to him.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself... It's also good to see your place."

Stephanie flushed and nervously lowered her head.

"Sebastian, thank you for today." You made my Christmas Eve one to remember."

"Thanks to you, I had a great time. Stephanie, have a good night."

“Good night," she said.

Stephanie stepped up to her doorstep with a big smile on her face. When she looked at him, she noticed that he was staring at her.

He started his bike as soon as she got to the door. She walked into the house after opening the door and giving him one more look, and he winked at her.

Stephanie grinned as she shut the door as he sped away. She breathed as she rested her back on the door.

"This is one of the nicest Christmas Eves I've ever had!"

    Stephanie was still sound asleep when the doorbell rang so loudly in her ears. “What the hell!”She sat up and looked at her desk's timer. It was seven o'clock in the morning. “Has family arrived already?” She pondered as she walked around in her fluffy slippers. As she approached the door, she dragged her feet on the floor. She yawned and wiped her eyes as she yawned and yawned again, still wanting to sleep. When she arrived at the door, she didn't bother to look to see who it was before opening it."All of you..." When she realized it wasn't her family at the door, she took a breath. Sebastian was the culprit. He was dressed in a black denim jacket, a white tee, and blue denim pants. He was dressed in a pair of boots that were not the same as the ones he wore the day before. It also appeared to be quite costly. “Sebastian. "What are you doing here at this hour so early in the morning?" “Merry Christmas, pretty one.” Stephanie's face brightened as he lifted the present he had

    "I'm getting a whiff of chocolate muffins!" Stephanie heard the loud and cheerful voice of her 5-year-old sister in her living room. She hurriedly removed the chocolate muffin microwave tray from the oven and set it on the tiled kitchen cabinet. With her apron on, she ran into the living room, removing the oven mitts from her hands."Mom, Dad!" She exclaimed.She rushed to them, and they both hugged her. They all giggled, and as soon as they disengaged, Princess jumped down from Sebastian’s arm. She dashed over to Stephanie and jumped on her like she had Sebastian. "My little Princess," She said. Stephanie laughed as she threw her up in the air. She gave her a firm hug and a kiss on the cheek."Mom, she's so plump now." Princess blushed, and she sheepishly covered her face in Stephanie's shoulder. Everyone in the room burst out laughing at her reaction. “Where is Mary?” Stephanie looked around for her other sibling. Stephanie was born ten years after Mary was born. "She dash

    Stephanie carried the plate of baked brie to the dining table, and Mary followed behind her with a tray filled with grapes. "Stop licking the honey, Princess!" Sarah yelled from the kitchen, and they all heard her. Princess gladly ran out of the kitchen, giggling. As she ran, her little hands were stained with honey, and she licked it off her fingers. Stephanie caught her and used a napkin to clean her hands. "Princess, please don't get on Mom's nerves." If you're not careful, you'll get spanked." "Mom never spanks her, and that's why she's so stubborn," Mary explained as she set the plates in place."Mary, don't say anything about your sister." That is extremely rude." Sarah entered the room carrying a dish of toasted bread. "I'm sorry, Mom," I say. But she annoys me a lot at times." "Mary, she's still a small girl." Always keep that in mind." Sarah finished setting the table and turned to face Stephanie, who was still cleaning up Princess. "Go ahead and inform them that di

    THE NEXT MORNINGStephanie’s body was fully tucked in her duvet, the cold weather was her favorite. Princess hopped into Stephanie’s room. She got to the bed and climbed up carefully. She climbed on top of Stephanie and laid down flat on her. "Stephanie, get up!" It's 7:00 a.m. When I arrived in New York, you promised to tour me around the city. I'm here now, and you are still sleeping.” She held Stephanie and pouted her lips as she hugged her through the covers. “Princess...” Stephanie grumbled. She cautiously turned to lay on her back so as not to toss Princess off the bed. She drew a hand from under the duvet and held Princess to herself. Princess burst out laughing and kissed Stephanie on the cheek.“Good morning Steph! "It's already 7 a.m." "Princess, we're on vacation." I don't have to wake up at 7 am.” Stephanie gently touched Princess's sparse gold hair. As she did this, her eyes were still closed. "Stephanie, you promised to take me out. Open your eyes,” She tapped St

    Stephanie ran around the park searching for Princess. She was covered in sweat even though the weather was cold. She feared someone must have kidnapped her little sister. She saw some children at the other end of the park. They were also blowing bubbles. She ran towards them to check if Princess was among them. She searched and searched but still didn't find Princess. “Princess!” She screamed in frustration and kept panting. “Stephanie!” She heard that tiny little voice that she wanted to hear. It was Princess’s voice. “Princess!” She turned to look in the direction of her voice, and she saw her waving at her from the middle of the crowd. She noticed someone carrying her on the shoulder because she could see her above the head of the people. “Oh God, Princess!” She rushed into the crowd and cleared the way with her hands. She kept her eyes on Princess as she moved. She got to where Princess was, and she saw the person carrying her was Sebastian. “Sebastian, what are you doin

    Owen stopped searching after a while. He thought he had seen someone he knew but was mistaken. He held his four-year-old son and walked out of the park. “The woman you bumped into, what did she look like?” He asked his son, Tyler. “She was pretty, and she had black hair.” Tyler childishly explained and Owen sighed. He couldn't blame him for not giving a precise description. He was just four. He held Tyler’s hand and walked to his car. “What took you so long? I saw you searching for something in there.” His wife Rebecca said to him after he entered the car. She sat in the front seat with their little daughter, Darla. Darla was almost a year old. “I thought I saw someone,” Owen responded, starting the car. “Is it her?” Owen heaved a sigh and looked at Rebecca. “Why would you even think about that?” “I don't know, I should ask you that. Since we got into Manhattan, you have been acting differently.” “Rebecca, please don't. It’s almost a year since I set my eyes on her.” “Well,

    Sebastian carried two bags of goodies in his hand. Princess couldn't stop buying and buying, but he didn't complain. He bought everything she wanted. He opened the backdoor of his car, and Princess hopped in. He placed the bags in the back seat with Princess and shut the door. Stephanie opened the door and hopped in before Sebastian could open up for her. She didn't want him to act like the perfect man the old woman claimed he was. Sebastian smiled widely and walked to the driver’s door. He opened the door and hopped in too. He ignited the engine, and he hit the road back to Manhattan. “Thank you, Sebastian. I enjoyed myself today.” Stephanie said with a beaming smile. “You don't have to thank me. You made my visit to the ice cream shop memorable. I can't leave my beautiful Princess out. Both of you made my day.” “And about it being the No.1 ice cream in New York...I think I agree with that. The banana split was amazing. I would love to have it every day.” “You can have it every

    Sebastian drove down to the Velocity driving race track. The race track had very full LED lights that covered the whole place. It was like daytime. Immediately the other racers saw him approaching, they began to yell and wave their hands. Sebastian giggled as he drove to them. “Why are they so excited?” Stephanie asked, grinning widely. “They are all my friends. I would do the same for any one of them.” “So you love each other so much even though you compete?” “Yes, Stephanie. There is no award for the winner. We race for fun.” They got to where his friends were and he parked the car with the other cars. Some of them wore jumpsuits and some wore casual sportswear. “Who is in the car with him?” Robbie, Sebastian’s very good friend, asked no one in particular. He narrowed his gaze as he watched them alight. They all raised their brows immediately and set their eyes on Stephanie. “Ooouuu... She is damn hot!” His male friends uttered, folding their hands in circles over their mouth

    ~Few Month Later~ Sebastian sat in the living room working on his phone when Liam ran into the living room, giggling. “Dad! Auntie’s baby just kicked! I felt it under my hand when I touched her belly!” He said with great happiness. Sebastian opened his arms and picked Liam up. He placed him on his lap and kissed his cheeks. “Is Mom awake?” He asked, and Liam bounced his head. “Yes, she is! She woke up a few minutes ago, when I was touching her belly.” He said, and Sebastian smiled and nodded. “I should go and say Hi to her. Wait here, okay?” He said and placed Liam on the chair. He stood up to leave but Liam held his hand and made him stop. He looked at him and furrowed his brows. “What’s wrong, Liam?” He asked. “What about mother? You promised me I would be seeing her this month. When will it be, dad? I miss her.” Sebastian heaved a sigh after listening to Liam. He squatted in front of him and held his two small hands. He poked his cheeks softly, and Liam chuckled. “Liam,

    Stephanie smiled from her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. Sebastian’s hands were wrapped around her on the bed they laid. His face was so close to her that she could feel every little breath he took. She stared at his face for a long time, falling in love over and over again. “Why are you staring?” Sebastian asked all of a sudden, keeping his eyes shut. Stephanie chuckled and poked his cheek playfully. “Can’t I stare at you anymore?” She asked, and he smiled and opened his eyes. “If you can’t stare at me, who can?” He asked, and her cheeks flushed. “Thank you, Sebastian.” “What is that for?” “For not giving up on me. You could have done that a long time ago, but you didn’t. You kept looking for me. I feel like the luckiest woman on Earth.” Sebastian divulged an overwhelming smile and bounced his head. “Thank you too. You coming into my life as being the best thing ever. I love you so much, Stephanie, and I won’t stop loving you.” Stephanie bounced her head and embraced hi

    Stephanie went on her knees in front of Sebastian, who stared at her with lust and pleasure in his eyes. “Are you sure about this, Stephanie?” He moaned as Stephanie began to unbuckle his belt. “I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I can’t play with you, yeah?” She pulled down his boxers aggressively and grabbed his engorged manhood in her hot hand. “When was the last time you did this?” She asked, raising her head and looking at Sebastian’s face, which was reacting to her hands around his erection. “The last time was when I was with you, Stephanie.” Stephanie went on to roll her tongue over the cap of his rigid shaft, which made him throw his head back in excitement. “Not even with Rosabella?” She asked and started moving her mouth up and down his hardness. “Never. I told you that we don’t have such a relationship, Stephanie. I love only you.” He lowered his head to look at her and she let out a satisfied smirk. She withdrew her mouth from him and stared at him like she had never seen

    Sebastian got to Italy at night, and he headed right to Stephanie’s apartment. Stephanie on the other hand took care of the apartment and prepared dinner for him. She sat in the living room, waiting for him to arrive. Soon, she heard a car pull up in front of her apartment. She sprang to her feet and hurried to the door. She opened the door and saw Sebastian standing at the gate with a large traveling bag. “Stephanie?” He called with great happiness. “Sebastian.” She ran down the porch and Sebastian let go of his bag and opened his arms wide to accommodate her. Stephanie ran into his arms, and he embraced her carefully, lifting her from the ground, and she laughed out loud. “Gosh, I missed you so much.” He grabbed her head and planted a fierce kiss on her lips. She chuckled and bounced her head as soon as they disengaged. “I missed you so much too.” “I’m sorry, Stephanie. I’m so sorry for letting you go through all these on your own.” Stephanie shook her head and looked at

    ~After Four Months~ Stephanie stepped out of the house to water the little garden in front of the house, carrying her protruded stomach with her. As she watered the plants, she noticed someone was staring at her. She looked to her right side and saw her neighbor, a woman, looking at her. “Hi.” The woman greeted, waving at her. “Hi, Good morning, Ma’am,” Stephanie responded, smiling politely. “Can I come to you?” She asked, and Stephanie bounced her head. “Sure.” Stephanie watched the woman walk out of her compound and head to her compound. She hadn’t seen the woman for about three months. “You’re back, right?” Stephanie asked when she got closer. “Yes, I am. I had to travel out for business.” Stephanie bounced her head and chuckled. “I could guess. I haven’t seen you for three months. I thought you relocated already.” “Nah… What's your name?” She asked. “I’m Stephanie. And you? What’s your name?” “I’m Fiona. It’s nice to meet you.” She stretched her hand to Stephanie, and

    Stephanie grabbed her phone and pressed it against her ear in shock. “You are pregnant?!” Sarah asked again, and Stephanie began to pant very hard. “Hey, are you okay? You don’t look so good.” The Doctor said, staring at Stephanie. She looked at him and shook her head. “I… I am good,” She mumbled and stood up. She looked at the file in her hand again. Her eyes heated up quickly and her emotions escalated. “Mom, you heard the doctor.” She mumbled as she walked out of the office. “Oh God, what are you going to do? Stephanie, this is serious.” “Mom, I know! You are not letting me think! Can you please give me a second?” She yelled in tears, and those that were around stared at her. She rested her back on the wall and slid down, crying profusely. Her phone slid out of her hand and slightly fell to the floor. ‘What are you going to do, Stephanie?! You are pregnant for Sebastian! Are you going to tell him? Are you going to keep this baby?’ “Stephanie, are you there?” Sarah asked a

    ~ After two days~Stephanie arrived in Italy very early in the morning. Luckily, her father could help her get an apartment there after she explained all that happened with Sebastian. They tried to talk her out of running away, but she had made up her mind already. She needed to stay far from him, from everything. Maybe then, she would be able to think and feel better. She got into the living room and looked around the apartment. It wasn’t very big but was perfect for a single lady like her. The furniture was covered with white clothing, and the polished floor looked clean. She began to remove the clothes from the table and chairs when her phone began to ring. It was Danielle calling. She smiled widely and answered the phone. “Hi, Danielle. I thought of calling you after I finish cleaning the house. I didn’t know you would do the calling first.” Danielle giggled and responded. “Well, isn’t that good? What if you forgot to call me?” “I can’t forget that kind of thing, Danielle.

    Stephanie sneaked into the room early in the morning to find Sebastian still sleeping with Liam lying next to him. Her eyes were swollen because she couldn’t sleep throughout the night, so she was awake. The way Liam and Sebastian held each other made her stare at them for so long. She could feel a part of Sebastian that was missing was finally complete. Even in his sleep, she could feel he was happy, finding out about Liam. Stephanie exhaled softly and silently reached for her things. She began to pack her stuff. She was going to head home and think about everything all over again. She had cried so much because of love and it was beginning to seem like she needed to stay away. The hurt was becoming too much. She also refused to write any notes because she didn’t want him to find her. Maybe when she was done thinking about everything, they could talk things out. She headed out of the hotel room shortly, drowning in sadness. As she walked down the corridor, one of the doors in

    Sebastian got back to the hotel room at night. He ran off, trying to compose what he was going to say to Stephanie, but his head was blank. He was too shocked to know what to say. He got to the hotel room and saw the door was unlocked. He opened the door and saw her sitting on the bed. She sat, facing the large window and staring outside. He moved closer to her, and when he looked at her face, he saw it was all swollen and red because of how much she had cried. He went to his knees in front of her, his eyes were glittering under the lights of the hotel room. He was on the brink of crying too. “I’m sorry, Stephanie. I never knew…” “You don’t have to do this, Sebastian. It’s obvious you didn’t know.” She threw her head backward and blinked her eyes severally. “I swear, Stephanie, this doesn’t change anything.” “Of course, it does, Sebastian! You have a son, and you have every right to take care of him, okay? He hugged you, he was happy to see you. You can’t just push him away,”
