Till I Met You Chapter Seventy Six
JoniI have never woken up with a smile on my face for as long as I can remember until just recently. By recently; I mean when I started letting Leonidas Sebastiani into my heart and it's the best feeling in the world.That feeling of having a reason to wake up every morning, a reason for wanting to go to school on a freaking stormy Monday morning with the widest smile on your face. You say the cheeriest good morning to your estranged stepsister causing her to stare at you as if mentally asking you if you're high or something but you don't care. You give your new friend/brother a big hug for nothing and you make him the best breakfast he's ever had since his mother left home and you get a thank you kiss on your cheek for that.That's the type of mornings I always want to have and hopefully forever. Raymond turns on the home theater sound system, plays the track he wants and Ed Sheeran's shivers blasts from the speakers and I let out a scream as we begin to break out some crazy moves
Till I Met You Chapter Seventy Seven
LeonI knock briefly on the door of my father's home office and open it then poke my head in to see my father hard at work with several papers lying around on his desk. I shouldn't bother him but I have something very important to ask him. Something that can't be postponed."Hey dad. You busy?". I ask.He looks up at me and smiles, waving me in. "Never for you."He only ever says that to my mom but who am I to complain. I walk in, shut the door and walk to to his table and I bow."Good evening father." I greet."Evening. How was school today?"."I wish every Monday will be like this one." I say as I take my seat."How so?". He's surprised."Joni has finally let me in." I grin. "She's more open with her feelings now.""That's why I told you never to give up." Dad says. "A patient dog sometimes eats the fattest bone.""And other times?". I smile teasingly.Dad shrugs. "It starves to death."I laugh. I have missed my discussions with my father and it is all thanks to Jax. That will end n

JaxSometimes I wish I can walk away from my family and never look back. I wish I can throw their name back in their faces and make them watch me become my own man in future but I know who I am. My brother knows who I am... Heck, they all know I can't just up and leave without a dime to my name.I'm just Jaxon without that name behind me. A nobody who no one cares about and if I'm a truthful person, I'd say it's all my fault but I don't like telling myself the truth so I'll just keep blaming Leon for my misfortune.Better that way."Here." Mom walks up to me with crutches. "I just got these for you."I don't want to accept it but I find myself reaching for them and making use of them. It is a whole lot better than trying to walk on one foot."Thanks." I grumble."Can we talk?". She asks."I'm busy now." I head towards the front door."I want us to talk now." She says. "Please."I let out a sigh and nod. "Okay."She leads me to her own home office and gestures for me to go in first and

A few weeks later"This is a kidnap, you know that right?". Joni asked Leon as he blindfolded her. "Is it?". He whispered in her ear and gently bit her earlobe making her gasp. "It's a surprise." School vacated for the holidays yesterday and Lauretta immediately left for Orlu leaving her brother behind. Joni had asked him if he was going to pay his parents a visit but he'd been really evasive with his answer so she'd let him be. He left to God knows where this morning with a duffel bag and a kiss on her cheek and he was on his way."It is." She stated. "I hope it's a good surprise or else I'll have your balls for dinner tonight.""I'll gladly relinquish them to you." He chuckled."Pervert." She huffed."You started it." He laughed as he led her out of the compound. "Be careful.""Are you taking me to the car?". She asked."That's right captain obvious." He replied. "Bend so you don't hit your head.""I've got eyes. Let me see with them." She said."Nuh uh." He shook his head as he

GabriellaScrewed.I wish I had another word to qualify how screwed I am but no words come to mind. I stare at the stick in my hand again for the millionth time hoping that the pink line which looks like a cross that I'm seeing isn't actually true.I can't be pregnant.I bite my bottom lip to keep it from trembling as tears gather in my eyes but I don't want to jump to conclusions just yet because these things aren't accurate. I just got it to find out why I've been feeling so tired and dizzy lately.My mom must not find out though or I'm dead. She'll strangle me with her bare hands, squeeze me like cloth and spread my skin out to dry.I'd disappointed her and myself by getting pregnant. I should have learned from her experience not to fall into a situation like this but no! One crooked smile flashed my way and I'm putty in his hands.You can't blame me though. Any girl in my position would want to be recognized by someone like him in a crowd. He was after all every girl's dream guy a

Liese I jerk awake all of a sudden from a dream which turns out to be a bad idea because the action makes me feel dizzy and my head feels like ten elephants are sitting on it. I groan and clutch the sides of my head wondering how the hell I got back to my hotel room last night. We'd partied hard celebrating Joni's birthday for a week but we all decided to get drunk yesterday. I just don't remember the details after or how I'm in the hotel room right now. I turn my head to look at the alarm clock and see that it's ten am in the morning and I sigh. We're leaving France today but not going back to Nigeria because Leon has another surprise in mind for Joni. I think I'd be very jealous of Joni for snagging a thoughtful and wonderful boyfriend like Leon if he wasn't related to me. My older brother loves with all his heart, body, mind and soul and Joni is damn lucky to be the recipient of his affections. Unlike he who shall not be named. Y'all know who I'm talking about so no need to

Leon I still can't believe what Andres had told us yesterday before we boarded the jet. My own self-absorbed twin brother going behind our backs to date a non royal while openly telling me not to date one. The motherfucker. He should be glad I didn't find out about this while I was still in Mercia or else I'd have given him the beating of his life. Gabriella Sysavane. I don't think I know her though but Collins would. I look around the beach in search of my best friend but can't find him or my sister anywhere which makes me frown wondering where they'd gone to. The beach isn't crowded today thankfully so I have no problem looking for them. We arrived in America very early this morning and my grandma's driver Ron came to pick us up at the airport and drove us to her penthouse. We all woke up feeling well rested and after a quick lunch, we came to the beach. Joni and Andres are playing volleyball with Raymond and some other kids and Collins was with them just a little while ago. I

Joni It's new year's eve in Mercia but it feels like it's already new year. Everywhere has been decorated in preparation for the King and Queen's birthday party tomorrow and the whole Kingdom's been invited to celebrate with them. We arrived in Mercia yesterday morning and while it was good to be back home, I couldn't wait to see the world again but preferably only with Leon next time. It's a nice day to go for a walk and I do exactly that even though I really don't have a destination. I wave at people and greet some I like on my way until I get to the Catholic Church and stop outside the gate. I've never been to church once. I didn't feel the need to do so before but now I feel like it's about time I let go of all the pain and heartache and possibly the hatred I feel for my dad and stepmom. I walk into the premises of the church then up the short steps leading into the church before I change my mind. There are several other people sitting on pews and praying while some are kneel

Till I Met You Epilogue
Three weeks later Leon Ashes to ashes Dust to dust I'm listening to every other word the priest is saying as he stands in front of Joni's coffin at the cemetery. I finally accepted her wish the next day after she told me to let her go and the ventilator machine was turned off. A little boy of about ten needed a kidney transplant and Joni's kidney matched his so I gave them the go ahead to do the transplant but that was it. She didn't want anyone to have her heart and no one got it. The preparations for her funeral were made and here we are three weeks later... finally putting her to rest. I rise to my feet and move to the front when the priest calls on me to give my speech. I don't have a speech to eulogize her but a song so I sing that thanking her for her love and when I am done, there isn't a dry eye at the cemetery. The priest gives his final speech, prays for her to find a resting place and it's over. I am standing by her coffin staring down at it when I suddenly look up

LeonI feel something pull at my hair. Like someone trying to pick a strand of my hair from my head and without thinking too much about it, I swat at the hand over my head but then I hear someone giggling - a familiar giggle and I lift my head sharply.I'm hoping it's her but there's nothing. She doesn't move and my shoulders slump. It's just been twenty four hours and kinda too early for a miracle but I hope one will happen soon."Why do you look so downcast Your Highness?". Joni asks me.I look around the room in shock until I see her sitting on the sofa with a strawberry smoothie in one hand and sandwich in the other."Am I dreaming?". I croak out."Maybe." She laughs.I look her over and see that she's dressed in a white and red polka dot gown with white wedges to match. Her hair is packed up in a loose bun and she's wearing the diamond earrings I gave her for Christmas."You look beautiful." I say."Too bad it's not 14th yet." She pouts. "I wanted to go to that dance.""You can.

LeonI have just pulled on my jeans when I hear Liese's frantic voice calling my name as I stand in my closet still thinking of a shirt to wear but I abandon that thought and rush out to meet her."Leon." She breathes running over to me. Tears are running down her cheeks so fast, it's like a dam opened up in her tear ducts."What's wrong?". I ask her."I... Collins... Joni..." She stutters."Joni? What happened to her?". I demand."Accident... It was bad." She says. "She's been taken to the hospital."I run back to my closet, grab any shirt and shrug it on then my car keys are in my hand the next instant and I hurry out of my room not bothering about my shoes.I breeze past grandma who is shocked to see running barefoot but before she can call my attention, I am already halfway down the steps."Leon! Where are you rushing to without your shoes?". Mom calls as I pass her as well just as she comes out of the living room."Hospital!". I call over my shoulder."What!". I register her shoc

A month later Joni Life... A period between birth and death. "Life is short" is what people say and that's the truth. I never used to believe that until today. As usual, my gorgeous boyfriend thought it best to take me out on a date seeing as we're almost ticking the last of the boxes on my never have I ever list but a part of me knows he's very excited about number 99 and 100 and I am too but I'm just not as excited as he is. He's like a kid who's been given cartblanche to choose any candy he wants in the candy store. It's February 14 in a week's time and every student is buzzing with excitement concerning the upcoming dance for Valentine's day. I've been a student of IHHS for eleven years and counting and I've never been to a school dance before. Minus kindergarten and elementary school, say during my junior years, I'd never been asked by a boy to go to the dance with him so when Leon asked me today which took me by surprise, I said yes. It's the last dance for me before I

LeonIt's new year, also mom and dad's birthdays and I might have made an unconscious resolution to be a good boy this year. No getting into fights with my brother or anyone else but that didn't stop me from being the devil and just to taunt my brother, invited his flavor of the month; Gabriella Sysavane.The girl didn't want to come but I'd convinced her not to be scared and I might have created a scene in her head where my brother would end the day with two girls who were not her in his bed because I know he's capable of doing it and she'd said yes."Why are you smiling?". Joni asks me."He's coming." I say."Who?". She looks over her shoulder to see Jax marching towards us with a murderous glare. "What crawled up his ass?"."Gabriella." I chuckle."Did you invite her?!". Joni gasps looking shocked. "What happened to being a good boy this year and all that?".I shrug not saying anything as Jax gets to us. I grin at him and give him a side hug."Happy new year bro." I say."What are
