"Done!" I said smiling widely.
"Well I'm happy, it's almost an hour, wait here let me go drop the plate"
"No, i have hands so I will keep it don't worry yourself"
Then we started arguing until he broke the argument.
"What of this we will go to the kitchen together" he finally found an idea.
"Okay" I agreed.
IN THE KITCHEN.
The kitchen was a very big luxurious area with lovely interior designs on the wall and lovely machines like dish washer, Gas cooker, microwave, ovens, fridge. There was also a air-conditioner and a Tv on one side. The kitchen smelt more of orange scent air freshener.
"I love your kitchen".
"Not as much as you love me right?"
"Where's the sink" i said ignoring his question, he gave a frown.
"Just drop the plate in the dishwasher and it will wash or leave it on the sink the housemaid will wash it"
"Seriously?" I asked with a surprised look.
"Yes"
"You should try to save
electricity. A lot of people are looking for electricity and light and all you can do is to use a dishwasher to wash a single plate"
He looked puzzled as i spoke but nothing seem to enter he just kept looking at my lips.
"Am going to wash the plate"
"If you insist" wait did he actually agree to me doing something?
I took a sponge and added soap then started scrubbing the plate while he stood there and watched me with a smile.
"Who taught you how to wash".
"My father when I was a little girl"
I couldn't help thinking about my father so I left out tears.
"What's wrong, why are you crying"
"No I'm..........ju..st".
He immediately held me into his warm body and wrapped me, gave me a kiss and was using his hands to clean my tears.
"Let's go to the room and then we can talk"
"Let me rinse the plate first" my voice became really soft.
He didn't allow me to walk instead he carried me in his arms. I didn't want to protest cause he's gonna win on this one.
He opened a door and put me down on the bed.
"Here" he said handing me a bottle of water he took from the fridge in his room.
His room was crazily amazing a large king sized bed in the middle, Air-conditioner on top, a small couch with a table at the middle, a big TV, a study table and chair at the side of a book shelf at the left , two different doors at the right corner, perfume fragrance filled the room. They was also a staircase which led up to who knows where.
"Are you better now? He asked with worry in his eyes.
"Yes"
"Why were you crying?"
"Just miss my dad"
"Well that's okay because you are going to meet your dad when you get home"
"I lost my dad some years ago".
"Oh. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to remin......."
Before he could finish the sentence i spoke.
"It's nothing".
"So. What about your mum".
"I lost her when I was still little"
"I am so sorry for asking again a similar question to the one I asked before"
"Like i said before it's nothing".
"Well so who are you leaving with then" he asked?
"My stepmother".
"So are you"....?
The crying face raised her head up to look at the guy who seem to want to know more about her.
"I will tell you all about my life, so that you stop asking questions"
"Well that's okay by me but I don't want to see you crying" he said.
"I am not going to cry" i said.
I told him everything about my life, how i feed myself, my parents death, my evil stepmother maltreating me but most especially about Jessica and Linda being my stepsisters. I couldn't hold my tears, i started crying like a baby but not to loud to get attention. While Antonio wrapped me around with his arms for me to fell better and gave me kisses on both my cheeks and forehead.
After some few minutes i was done.
"Tana" he said with a soft voice.
"Yes" the other light voice( ME) answered.
"I promise to make you the most happy person on earth, never to see you cry again"
"And Jessica and Linda" immediately he said their names his toned changed to an angry man who felt like killing someone.
"Hey, why are you so angry? Am not complaining about them maltreating me and also please don't tell Jessica and Linda anything about what we discussed now or anyone"
"Okay" his toned changed again to a soft one which made me calm down more "But i can't believe your stepsisters are so mean anytime i was with them they would always behave nice, kind and they will say that you're a disrespectful, abusive, a lier and more".
"Well that's their business because I know am not any of what they think about me".
"I love your spirit hotty"
That put a smile on my face but I was trying to change the topic because if I talk more about my self i began to cry, then an idea poofed on my head the real reason why we came here.
