Destiny

Chapter 7

"You're right Antonio, we can't just leave. I couldn't. I love my Mother and Father dearly. I may be mad at her, but I still love her."

Antonio squeezed Lea's hand. She had made the right decision, he knew it. Antonio starred around the room. It was just how he had imagined it to be. Very girly, very pretty and very elegant. The walls of the room were decorated with cream and gold floral wallpaper and the peach bed covers on the huge double cream bed had about six pillow on it and a thousand white, cream and purple square cushions. Around the room (on the walls) were a number of pictures of flowers that were hung up in frames and wall plaques that said words like love, faith and dream. A cream coloured dresser was placed up against the right side wall with a beautiful oval shaped mirror that matched perfectly and looked like it had come out of a fairy tale. She had an on sweet bathroom on the left Antonio d side of the room that was immaculately clean and a huge walk in wardrobe the other side. By the side of her bed was a bedside table with a small lamp on top of it and opposite her bed was a long bookshelf filled with hundreds of books and to the right of this was a cream oval shaped window seat lined with floral printed cushions. To the left side of the room where clear doors that lead out onto the balcony and on the ceiling hung and crystal chandelier.

"Wow," Antonio gasped, getting up from the bed and walking over to the corner of the room.

"We have a bigger on downstairs." Lea told him. "I like to sit on my window seat and read, especially when the weathers nice."

"I've never seen so many books before." Antonio said, taking a book from the shelf. He picked the one that looked the most read and looked at the cover.

"The Notebook." He paused for a minute as he read the blurb on the back. Nope! Never read it."

"You should," Lea said eagerly. "It's amazing. It's my favourite book."

"Yeah, I guested that. The covers practically hanging by a thread."

Lea laughed.

"You know, Alley and Noah's relationship is a bit like ours."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Alley's parents didn't want her to date Noah because they didn't think he was the right kind of guy for her. He didn't have a lot of money and Alley was home schooled just like I was. You really should read it."

"Did they make it in the end?" Antonio asked her.

"I'm not going to tell you that."

"Oh, please," Antonio begged.

"No." A smirk appeared across Lea's face. You'll just have to read it and find out for yourself."

Ann entered her bedroom where she found Richard starring out the window. The sun was now beginning to set it the sky and it had started to rain, summing up the general atmosphere.

"Richard," Ann's voice was quiet and timid.

Richard didn't reply. He just carried on starring out the window as the rain came pouring down.

"About earlier," She began, hoping to catch his attention for just a second.

He still didn't move.

"There's something I need to tell you Richard," Ann paused for a moment. "I really think you need to hear this. I liked a guy, before I met you. I like him a lot. I even fell in love with him. He didn't have a lot of money or expensive things, but I didn't care. We tried to keep our relationship a secret but I lived in a small town and news around there always travelled round fast. She didn't like the boy and forbidden me from seeing him. She said he was trouble. But he wasn't. She only though that because of his scruffy hair and worn out clothes. Anyway, I'm glad she did because if she hadn't, I might still be with him today. And I don't want him Richard. I want you. I love you. I know I might not show it all the time but it's true. I guess what you said just took me by surprise. This is my life. It's always been this way and it's what I'm use too. I've lived in houses like this my whole life. But all I want is you." She paused again. "So I'll do it."
