The One You Wanna See

Forever in my life

"No Stop, Please Prince we cannot do this," I said ruining the moment. Prince pulls back looking at me; he smiled at me reassuringly: "you and I have something special. What is wrong?' He asks as his slender hand wipes a tear off my face.

"All this Prince, did you think I would not find out about the engagement?" I say still refusing to tell him about being possibly pregnant. I doubt he would want a baby especially now. I should honestly be thinking about myself, heck protecting my feelings but this is all new to me. I am falling in love with him. I mean who wouldn't? I think he is the most eligible man in the whole world; I have admired him all of my life. Prince quietly placed me on the couch.

"We had an agreement, just like I have a deal with Jill." He said standing above me.

What agreement? Was that all it was I wanted to assert myself, but I have never asserted myself before. As far as he was concerned, I understood the terms. I remain silent.

It is so difficult to say no to Prince. But we seriously, do need to talk.

"I run a business, Alex. I want you to come on the road with me. I am working on a record deal for you with Virgin world Records. Athena"

There he goes avoiding the elephant in the room. My possible pregnancy, his rumored engagement or was it a rumor?

"I know you have heard a lot about me, but that is the persona, with you I can be myself. You are my muse. My guardian angel, I believe that."

But what about?"

"Lots of people rely on me Alex; I spend millions promoting each record that comes out. My band relies on me. Their families depend on me. The bosses are out on the beach, while I have to put out 80 sold out concerts."

I had to admit I was inspired but what does that have to do with Jill. Then it hit me; Jill is the daughter of one the bosses who run the record company. If he were to break away from her, all hell could break lose. I guess I have no choice but to remain silent about my condition.

He walks around the room, his eyes notice the red roses now darkened but still with a little life in them.

"I need to send you fresh roses, these," he said pointing at the flowers. "Are almost out of life!"

I shake my head as though saying internally "I am almost out of life."

I wanted to avoid the conflict; I wanted to remain calm at the very least until I have had my blood test."

Suddenly, I pondered the possibility of having an amazing music career and a record deal with Prince.

"So what did you want to tell me?" He asked finally taking a seat next to me, his hands circling my waist. "You know I must say you are glowing."

I wanted to say "I am glowing because of the life in me." He instinctively placed his hand on my belly; I pulled back trying to remain composed, tapping my feet on the ground. He noticed because he looked puzzled. I turned away.

"Oh, um I got a guitar. Do you want to see it," I said standing up walking towards my closet? I pull out the yellow guitar. Still feeling a little unwell, I start playing one of his love songs. Prince looks impressed, but he knew that is not all I wanted to show him.

He glances at his watch, then looks back at me: "Beautiful guitar, Alex, but I have to go now. And I think it is high time you stopped wearing that, you cannot possibly still be working at that place?" He asked pointing at my outfit; I just realized I still had on my maid outfit. He turned towards the door. I stop him.

"Hmm, why don't you wait a moment, I will get changed out of my work clothes."

He smiled and smirked: 'hopefully, for the last time, you do not need that Job. No girl of mine will work as a maid."

Wow did I just get a promotion, I am now his girl?

"By the way Alex, I hope you did not disobey my request to stay away from Ethan as your girl mentioned to Chuck."

I laughed: "No she just made all that up why are you jealous?"

"No." He replied stoically watching as I disappeared into my bedroom, completely unaware that I left the pregnancy test on the table by the couch. Prince sat down on the sofa waiting for me to return, he decided to turn on the television when the test fell to the floor, he picked it up and called out in a loud booming voice:

"Alex!"

Shocked at the sound of his voice, I hurried out to see if everything was okay; that's when my eyes met his. There he stood holding onto the test. He asks: "What is this?"

I wanted the ground to open up. I cannot admit it is mine, or should I? I do not want to complicate my life any further. How do I tell him that he will have to be forever in my life because I am having his baby?

"Athena? Tell me what is this about?"
