Till I Met You Chapter Sixty One
AndreiThe words... 'Wonders will never cease' is used to express surprise and happiness but in my case, it's neither.I don't even know whether to be shocked, flummoxed or worse floored but I guess those three mean the same thing so I can safely say that I'm dreaming.If I thought that the matter with my first son was a dream to me then the one I met at home surely blew me away. My two lovely daughters had gotten into a cat fight and I can't exactly say one beat the other because both of them had bruises and scratch marks on their faces.What is a hopeless father to do then? Hopefully my mother will be able to right all the wrongs done by Jax and Ina. "I'm sorely disappointed in all of you." My mom says. Liese looks shamefaced but Ina has this arrogant look on her face that makes me want to slap her but I don't. Now Jax is a totally different story entirely."What were you both thinking fighting like ill mannered children?". She asks them. "I don't even want explanations.""Liese w

Leon and Joni were playing chess or more like he was teaching her how to play chess because it was number one on her bucket list when his phone rang. He hoped it wasn't his parents or worse grandmother as he took it out of his pocket but he was surprised to see Ina calling him."Who is it? You look like superman just appeared in front of you." Joni chuckled."The queen of hades is calling." He whispered. "Answer it." He passed it to her."Do you have a death wish? No way!". She recoiled in horror. "She's your sister, you deal with her."Leon rolled his eyes and answered the call. "To what do I owe the displeasure of your call, Your Highness?". His voice dripped with sarcasm."Don't try to be sassy Leon." She snapped. "It doesn't suit you.""If you called to insult me..." He ground out."Grandma has scrapped the system of royals and commoners studying separately. I want you to talk some sense into her." She cut him off brusquely."What?". Leon breathed. "What are you talking about?"."

It was all a flurry of activity as the royals were assigned to their new classes and shown the way by the commoners. The layout of the common building was very similar to the royal building but they tried to act dumb so the commoners would do all the work for them. Like get their new schedule for them, their new desks and chairs and stuff and they were totally basking in the attention they got."I hope you both like it here." Leon said to Liese and Andres. "It's still the same school Leon." Liese chuckled. "The buildings are also similar... just a different environment." She shrugged. 'sides, I'll be with you and Joni so I have nothing to worry about.""Okay." He gave a half shrug. "What about you Andres?"."I'll be fine. Just sighted some of my friends." He said and waved over Leon's shoulder. "See y'all laters." He patted Leon's shoulder and hurried off."He's such a big boy now." Liese smiled wistfully. "Just yesterday he was still crying for mom."Leon chuckled. "Do you..." He w

A week later"Hey Ina?". Darlene called distractedly as she walked back into Ina's bedroom after spying on Leon who was playing basketball with Andres, Liese and their father."Yes?". She didn't look up from her laptop."Do you think it will be okay for me to transfer here? Like... finish school here... in Mercia?". Darlene questioned.Ina raised her head in surprise. "You want to transfer from Veritas High,in America to Imperial Heights? Why would you do that?". She arched a brow."Well... I'm beginning to like it here." She mumbled. "You're beginning to like it here or you want to transfer here because of that idiot Leon?". She asked. "Don't think I've not noticed how you've been eye fucking him lately. That boy is a total loser.""Don't call him that." Darlene snapped.Ina's brows rose so high that she feared they'd disappear into her hairline. She shut her laptop and set it aside then crawled over to where her best friend stood at the edge of the bed and propped herself up on her

Raymond barged into Joni's room when he heard her scream, looked around the room then at her wondering what was wrong until he saw the open box and walked over to it."Why did you scream like that?". He questioned."Head." She stepped back."Whose head?". He was confused. "Someone sent you a head? That's new. Who did you offend again this time?"."Why are you here? If it's to laugh at me then I suggest you leave." She ordered in a shaky voice."Okay." He lifted his hands. "Sorry." He turned and walked out of the room.Joni grabbed her phone from her table then quickly clicked on Leon's number to call him then put the phone to her ear."Hey, I'm at your house." Leon said. "Just walking in now.""Someone sent me my head." She blurted out."Hold that thought." He hung up.Two minutes later he walked into her room and she rushed to hug him. He held her for a few minutes before she pulled back and pointed to the box."There." She mumbled.Leon walked over to the box, looked inside of it an

Two days laterLeon and Joni walked into the school building holding hands which didn't surprise their school mates anymore so they weren't stared at for too long.Some girls were still jealous that someone like Joni had snagged the crown prince for herself but they also accepted the fact that;some win and others lose."So what movie are we watching today?". Joni asked him."Fifty shades of grey." Leon replied. "The very first movie I watched.""I can't wait." She said as she input her combination and opened her locker then she shrieked. "Jesus Christ!". Leon exclaimed when he saw the dead headless animal hanging in her locker. "What the hell?!"."Oh my gosh!". Liese cried from behind them. "Who could've done this?".Leon said nothing and stormed off. He was going to get to the root of this matter once and for all and God help whoever it was behind the pranks.He barged into the security office without knocking causing the two guards inside to jump in fear. He looked at the screens i

JoniThe sunlight streaming into the room wakes me up but I don't open my eyes because I feel very much at ease snuggled up against Leon's body heat. I never would have thought that a day like this would come that I'd feel safe sleeping beside a boy. Not just any boy but a prince and not just any prince but Leonidas Sebastiani.That name makes me shiver and it's a good one and I'm so damn glad that my brain and heart finally came to an agreement to give him a chance. Everybody deserves a second chance but... some people don't.I turn my head to stare at Leon and a small smile creeps on my face. He's so damn gorgeous that I have to pinch myself practically every time to see if I'm dreaming or not because I still can't, for the life of me understand why he's so obsessed with me.I'm not pretty or attractive or even close to being beautiful but he sees me as the most beautiful girl in the world so who am I to complain?.I lift my hand and slowly trace his face with the tip of my pointer
Till I Met You Chapter Sixty Eight
LeonDad didn't understand why Joni was hiding in my closet or why she passed out but I know. She must have heard what I said, the words I mentioned and that caused her to panic and pass out.Now we're at the hospital standing outside the emergency room waiting for the doctor to come out with news about her and I hope that she's okay."Want to tell me again why she was hiding in your closet?". Dad asks me again."She spent the night." I say succinctly."Oh." His mouth forms an o and a look I know too well crosses his face."Nothing happened." I quickly tell him."I trust you." Dad smiles."I'm happy that you have this notion of me being a very good boy who wouldn't sleep with a girl until after marriage." I state dryly.Dad smirks knowingly. "I know.""You know what?". I huff."I know that you're the kind of boy who'd wait until after marriage to sleep with a girl." He replies confidently. I frown at him not liking the fact that he knows me so well but he only laughs and ruffles my h

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

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

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

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

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
