THEN... WE MET

Fierce huh?

DEAR READERS AM SORRY FOR THE DELAY.. IT TOOK FOREVER FOR SOME OF YOU.. SO HERE YOU GO.. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE READINGS.. XOXO... 😘

Xander was trying really hard to digest the two words that came out of Kara's mouth, this is what he thought!
'Well I think she might have been too stressed out!'
'Or maybe she is seriously I'll! '
'Half asleep maybe? '

Xander kept on fighting with his inner self and he felt his palm sweating... he looked at Kara to find her chuckling..

"You dare do that at this situation that you kept me in?"

"You know all those expressions you make, should be done by the other party.. meaning the lady. "Kara spoke out

"Nah.. ah.. anyone in my shoe would have the same expression!!  so are you waiting for my answer? "

Kara nodded her head, she was surely taking it so light and simple.

Xander studied her for a few seconds before speaking out.

"So tell me Kara what shocking thing will you do next, ..... huh?

"Xander am sleepy, so what I told you think about it, sleep on it and give me your answer, take all the time you need buddy! "

Xander admiringly looked at how fierce and confident Kara  was and he just smiled before getting up and placing a soft kiss on her forehead, she tensed a little then relaxed later.

"Dream of me..tying a knot with a certain woman who found favor in my eyes"

As she was about to turn to face him, he was already out of the room.
********

The morning begun with visitors at the cottage, it was Oliver and Leo

"Tell me what's new? "

"Alex, for how long will you be staying with her?, the tabloids will never be quiet when it comes to your private life, there is always going to be a new scandal! "

"What are you trying to say?, what's going on now? "

"That Kara is one of your flings, this photo leaked of you kissing her at the birthday party and when you were with her at the hotel, everyone in the internet says Alexander has a new slutty toy to play with." said Leo.

Oliver added, "You know the fact of you hanging around with her, brings a bad image to you but a worse one to her, they will never stop insulting her now they are calling her every man's sex toy! "

Alexander was fuming with anger,as he was about to speak he was interrupted with that beautiful, feisty voice of Kara.

"Let them think what's on their freaking minds. " Alex stared at her amusingly

"Your image brings a bad picture even in the business world, you will lose millions if you let them have their way, do not tell me you are giving up now? "Alex questioned

"Look at you all caring....aww am touched, but I do not need the pity right now or the pretend care. "

Alexander just stared at her emotionless before saying, "I.. have a surprise for you today so you go wash up and dress up ,I will be waiting for you in the car. "

Kara gave him a weird look before complying with what he said.

After what took forever,she got out of the room to find Leo and Oliver no where to be seen, slowly she walked out of the cottage to find a car waiting for her and Leo at the driver's sit.

The door was open, so she got in and closed the door, turning to Leo, Kara asked

"Where in the world is Xander,  he should stop popping and disappearing before my sight. "

Leo said to her, "No need to worry, I will take you to where he is. "

The ride was silent only the music in the car was audible. Deep down Kara was devastated of how her life had turned out, and the fact that her best friend was gone.. and it was all her fault, in short her life was a wreck.

She was lost in thoughts until Leo tapped her,

"Now miss Kara it is your time to get out of the car. "

As she stepped out of the car, she was greeted with a very beautiful view, she was in awe and when she came to back to her senses, Leo was gone.

"Today's weird. "
After saying that she heard a voice behind her.. saying, "You will never stop thinking out loud will you? And yes it's weird it has never been normal with you since the first time we met, So this last few months spent I realized that am a huge fan of your weirdness and I intend to keep it by my side for a really long time, this.. this whole thing with us.. has to come to an end..

Kara interrupted, "Wow.. I have to say am a bit hurt, you were one of those jerks that turned out to be a bit more of what I kinda never expected in this couple months. "

"Am not done with you, and by never expected you mean full of surprises..so here goes to everything I will never seize to surprise you not now not ever!!When you run I will catch up to you.. and when I run you need to catch up too.. Kara David Reweta(knelt on one knee) do me the honour of tying the knot and become Mrs Kara Safari.. In other words will you now marry me ?"

Kara was left frozen for what looked like forever then she looked at him,
"You are nuts... Xander.. did not know that you could be such a hopeless romantic.. but of course I will do you the honors in other words, yes!!I will marry you. "
Right after she said that the ring was slipped to her finger(perfect fit) they both thought, then he said..

"Uhh.. I will not kiss you now, I will kiss you a bit later, look I have to go but we are not done with the surprises yet. "

Before she could utter anything else he was gone like a wind.. She stood there waiting only to be surprised by someone holding her hand,she turned around to look at who it was only to see her loving grandpa

"Grandpa (she hugged him so tight) what in the world are you doing here? "

"First I Missed you too, second I wanted to see who the hell this man is who wants to engage my daughter.. And third I need to walk you down the isle!! "

"Isle, what isle.. Oh.. My God.. I am getting married.. Jeez Xander.. I will never get enough of him!! "

"You really do like him.. right? "

She was silent for a while before nodding her head with a Yes plastered all over her face.
