Two Can Play That Game

Blow for blow

Jan POV

Anger rushing through me as I held her by her hands, using my other hand to open the door and pushed her out and slammed it shut. I heard a car drove off. Looking back at Esther with her hands on her hips walking around her living room. She heard footsteps as she turn around looking at me worried. Well I guess wrong. "You own a frigging company Jan!. How many more lies! How many more secrets! I can't take it anymore! Your sister marked my wall. The place is stink of cigarette Jan stink. I need you start talking Right Now" she yelled in anger and frustration. I offered her a seat as she brushed her hair back and took deep breaths calming her temper. "Am sorry" I whispered. "Start talking" she hissed. With no hesitation I explained what was really going on.

Esther POV
"So you made a company in England? Out of the money he gave you? And you used the money you made from the business to send yourself back to school?" I asked him as he nodded. "Yes and my father found out when I was 24. He was pissed at me. He taught I spend the money. He never knew I would be more than what he expected. My mother was surprised at me. My sister never wanted to know me so she would tell her father to get rid of me whenever my mother told him to give me a chance. I hate them Kiki . My mother taught she was doing well for me but teaching me to be cold and to be a ruler and a selfish man was wrong. She made me believe in beating woman. Just like dad did to her when he cursed her because he got a son and not a daughter. I would be upset at my father for it all but she told me it was love. I was rich but I was rejected "

Tears filled my eyes at he met my gaze. He looked at me with tears flushing down his cheeks. "Let me have just another chance to redeem myself to you. To marry you. To make you my queen. You are all I have left. You were and still is the only one that makes me smile and you light my world like no one could. I loved you then and still I love you now." By this he was on one knee, his hands in his pocket. Reaching for only God knows what. I stood to my feet with my hands covering my mouth. He opened the box and there was a gold ring. "Will you make the happiest man alive by becoming my queen?" I was crying my heart out with joy. I brought myself down to him kneeing in front of him. Nodding my head "Yes...yes...yes...a million times yes" I kissed him after he placed the ring on my finger I looked at it. It was beyond beautiful. He threw his arms around me and we kissed the night away. I rest my head across his shoulders and he cuddled me there till I fell asleep.

"Hurry up Sweetheart" he yelled at me outside his SUV blowing the horn. "Am coming" I ran down the stairs. Full of excitement. We were going shopping. I wore a green bucket hat, sleeveless jeans dress, a green purse along with my green slipper. Heading down the stairs. I closed the door and we were on our way out.

So many dresses to choose. I took almost all of them. Throwing them at Jan who walked behind me complimenting me how I looked in each as I tried them on. He would grin flirty at me whenever he was pleased and when he wasn't he would shake his head side to side with his mouth looking as if he smelled something awful or he would hide his face whenever I looked extremely bad. I enjoyed shopping with him. We headed to my favorite ice cream and bakery place called Smoothies. We had numerous amount of ice cream. We eat variety amount of cakes from different colors to different brand. Unfortunately our stomach couldn't hold so we headed to the Park. We ride the bull, took pictures together, laughed out hearts out after a crazy giddy spin from the fairest wheel and the Merry go round. We raced together in the go carts. We bought cotton candy for the little kids that had no money and stood there looking hopeless at the candy man. Their mother thanked us and we waved good bye at them and headed home.

Jan was having a bath while I was preparing dinner. Roast pork, sweet and sour chicken with fried rice along with the useless champagne. I lit the candles around the table of my balcony and scattered the rose peddles around the table and towards the door. I placed our meals on the table and stood in awe at my own work. I went upstairs and quickly but carefully adjust my make up and headed downstairs standing against the table in my tiger dress and black wedge heels, I did my hair in a messy bun. Looking up at the man who I hated four years ago I smiled at him as he stood surprised looking around at my creation. "You like?" I asked with a grin. "I love....still ain't beautiful as you are" he then placed a kiss on my cheek. I pulled out his seat and he sat and smiled at me as I poured the champagne in our glass.

We laughed and talked about our day at the mall and in the park as he enjoyed my meal like he always did. He was the one who taught me how to cook. That's a secret readers shhhhh. He held my hands and looked at my ring and then at me" Cheers to success and love" I smiled at him as our glass met and we stared at each other while drinking our champagne.
