The Cinderella Life

Birthday Party 2

He stopped as he rested his head on his chair, I was still in shock that he kissed me.

"Get out" he said not glancing at me. I opened the door and stood up coming out of the car, God they are so many cars parked here where to exactly, should I ask Antonio the way now am confused. A hand slipped to my hand holding me tight and dragging me, I turned to look and it was Antonio. He led me through a door then a hallway, we came to the kitchen, then another door we entered the event. I turned to look around everything and everyone looks elegant and beautiful, I spotted Jennie walking towards us and Sylvia talking to a guy.

"What took you guys so long?" Jennie asked as she gave us a detective look.

"That's none of your business, where's mum" He said rudely, seriously Antonio has changed a lot.

"She's still in the dining hall talking with her friends"

"I will go see her" he said as he removed his hand from mine, and went to the stairs.

"Did something happen between you both" Jennie asked drawning my attention to her.

"Um no...no no" I was stammering.

"Okay then. I will be back, make yourself feel at home" She said as she dashed out.

Ummm, so what to do? should I make new friends or just look around.

"Hello pretty"someone said from behind me and I turned to see a guy in blue suit smiling.

"Hi" I said to him.

"I'm Noah" he said stretching his hand for a handshake, I shaked it.

"Tana"

"Lovely name, are you here alone?"

"No, I came with my friends"

"Nice. do you want to grab a snack to eat"

"Sorry but no, I already ate before coming"

"Then what about a drink?"

"Sure, but I don't drink alcohol"

"I will be back" He said going and coming back with drinks in his hands.

"Cheers to us" He handed me a drink.

"Tell me are you single?"

"Well yes I mean no, yes, I mean it's complicated, what of you?"

"I'm single and searching" he said and winked at me.

"That's nice" I said the first thing that came to my thought.

We stood there looking around and sipping our drinks.

"I need to go now" I said after spotting Sylvia.

"See you later then" He gave a charming smile.

"Bye" I walked away from there to where Sylvia was.

"Hi" I said as her saw her with a guy.

"Heyy, This is Tana my closet friend and Tana this is Michael" Sylvia said introducing us to each other, we both shaked hands.

"Nice meeting you Tana"

"Same here" I said to him.

"I will leave both of you to continue" I said leaving, why did I even come to them in the first place?

God now I regret coming I feel so lonely Sylvia is chatting and laughing with a guy and I don't want to stop her, Jennie has been walking around making sure everything was perfect and everyone is enjoying their selves, Antonio is with his mom I guess and I don't know anybody again in his place. *Sighs*

"Who was the guy talking to you?" I heard Antonio voice from behind unexpectedly, which guy was we referring to? His asking like its his business.

"Which guy?" I asked back.

"Do I look like a fool to you?" He questioned.

"Why are you getting all angry, even if I talked to a guy I don't think that's any of your business"

"So you know what am talking about" His voice went high a little and he became angry.

"Look if you came all the way to shout at me then just get over with it. Your becoming very ruse and annoying" I said trying to express my feelings but he got angry the more, he walked closer to me and I became sacred.

"Antonio" someone called from behind him, he stopped walking closer to me and turned.

"Mum" he said cheerfully, he's mood suddenly changed and he hugged her.

I couldn't see her face because I looked down thinking what would have happen if he's mom didn't come.

"Miss" I heard his mum say. Was she referring to me? I raised my head to be sure.

"Have we met before, you look very familiar" She asked trying to remember who I was.

"Umm...." I looked at Antonio to know whether I could tell her my name, Antonio was looking at me with teary eyes did he want to cry after getting angry at me??

"I'm..."

"Tana right?" She asked before I could finish my sentence.

"Yes" Antonio replied. His mom hugged me and I hugged her back, she felt so much like a mother in my arms I missed her. Antonio walked away.

"How have you been, it's been long" she pulled away from the hug and looked at me with teary eyes I also felt like crying now.

"I have been okay, what of you"

"Forget about me, Let's talk about you"

"No, please mom it's your birthday"

"I know, but I wantbto know how you have been since and also tell you things about Antonio" She said dragging my hand I didn't want to argue with her so I followed.

We went to the stairs, then the hallway, they were a lot of doors but we stopped at one after passing a lot. Antonio's mum open, it was a room but more of a hotel room she sat on the couch and signal me to sit near her.

"This used to be Antonio's, anytime he was feeling down, unhappy, sacred he usually came here and think during those times locking the door, am sure he hasn't told you of this place cause he is ashamed"

"Ashamed of what?"

"That you will know he's sometimes sad, he doesn't want you to be worried about him.*sighs* After you disappeared Antonio has never been the same, he never thought of sleeping or eating, for the first time In many years I saw Antonio cried he locked himself in his room for sometime. He sent some people to look for you but they didn't get a clue where you were. He thought your step family had something to do with it so he arrested them but after a year he only got from them that you ran away so he let them go. He never paid any attention to your stepsisters or any other girl.

    After clocking 19 he's father told him to choose a girl he would be engaged to but he disagreed he fought for you and said you were coming back, Antonio and his father were always arguing because of that issue that's why at age 21 Antonio moved out of the castle to live on his own, his sister followed him and stayed with him he started working and paid for his school fees as well as his sister. Last year he made up his mind that you were dead because if you were alive you would have called him all this years. Because you left he became a cold, violent and rude person, he was only nice to his family but to his father they was a big sea between them"
