"I LOVE YOU ZIA"

Chapter 23

Brian_

"Why did you say that?!" I blurted off in Ramona's face after her speech for her birthday greetings for me. she anounced to everybody that we were engage already! as far as I remember, I asked her to marry me three years ago and she dumped my proposal! and now she's claiming that she's my fiance? "We are so not getting married Ramona!" and there she is smiling weakedly while my parents are approaching towards us.

"Hey, honey. you never told us that you two already had plans for being together in the future." my mom said smiling. I was about to answer when suddenly my sister came staring on each of us in anger.

"Congratulation!?" she said while giving Ramona a hard glare. then she look at me and our mother. "Why mother? do you really like her that much to let her anounce it, in front of everyone that big lie?" Mom's face turned to pale.

"You told her to say that mom?" I hissed angrily.

"whatever!" said Brianna.

"Zia is missing!" Jude came to us.

"What do you mean missing?" my sister asked.

"She run away, after that..." Jude hang his word and look at me. "It was a joke right?" he added. furrowing at me before throwing a frown to Ramona.

"this is all your fault! Bitch!" Brianna said pointing at Ramona.

"Watch your word Brianna!" I hissed.

"Why is Zia here?" I asked.

"Why didn't you invited her? or let her know that today is your birthday anyway?!" Brianna shrilled. "serves you right! brother! serves you right.." she added before marching off. She likes Zia, I understand why she's mad at me. Zia.. oh God! She heard it! Just great!

I look everywhere in the crowded dance floor inside and out, but she's nowhere to be found. Where are you Zia..

"Dude.." Lance appeared from nowhere. "I think, she gone home.. why don't you go home now and see for your self?" he took a sigh, "I was the one who took her in here. I don't know why you keep it a secret to her? It is your birthday! dude.. she deserves to know..."

"I know... but.."

"Do you like her?" Lance asked while staring at me furiously.

"Hell yeah!! but she's leaving... and, I don't know!"

"Why didn't you tell her about this party? and how about Ramona? about what she said? it wasn't true, right?"

"I have to go!" I stormed out to the parking lot, I need to see her! I need to tell her something! wait for me my love..

"Zia!" I shouted while taking off my coat, "Zia, are you in here?" I smell something burning food or whatever, I walk straight to the kitchen still calling her name, when I entered on my kitchen, I saw her standing in front of my stove, holding one of my utensils shoving it inside of the frying pan with a bunch of bacon in it! and there goes the bacon, having a war with the cooking oil and making a shrieking sound that makes the poor cooking young lady squeal every now and then. It's cute looking her like that, she is just adorable trying her best in cooking with her crystal blue knee gown with matching a high heeled crystal blue footwear. I can live looking at her just like that for like forever! but I can't do that! I need to stop her before the bacon and oil harm her accidentally. I walked slowly facing her back, and slide my hands on her waist with my head on her shoulder and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Hello sweetheart..." she squeak a high pitch squeal in shock. when she turned to face me, I saw her eyes in tears. "You're crying..." I held my breath in awe. I hated it when Brianna's crying, but this.. I hate myself for making her cry... "Don't cry missy.. I'm so sorry for-"

"Silly! it's not your fault I'm crying!" she smacked my shoulder on her fist. "Stupid bacon!! see??" she gagged, shoving her flawless skin with those red dots from the cooking oil. "it hurts.. and I'm so hungry! and also angry! at you... you.." she let her self free on sobs. I held her in my chest, and let her sob there..

"I'm so sorry sweetheart.." I said in a whisper. "let me explain, will you?" I sang dearly. then she stopped crying.

"I will.. in one condition." she was furrowing at me. "let me eat first." she added.  I almost laugh, but I held it in. that's one of her weaknesses, food, which is I'm glad I know how to make them.

she put the bacon in a platter and took some cupcakes out of the fridge with a small candles on top of them! to my surprise, she had a bunch of midget cakes! I let a chuckle out of me. "Sweetheart, did you make all of this?" she turned her gaze at me angrily. maybe I shouldn't ask her that.

"I made the bacon! I bought the candles, this cakes are given to me. it's from the young couple who give me a ride home. they give it to me cause I was crying like a baby! I ate some of it, I just left the number of your age. you happy now?! there! blow your candles!" she chirped.

I can't put a word on what I felt at the moment, it's beyond happiness.. Love.. oh God! I love this! I love her! I grabbed her tiny body and held her tight to my chest, to my pounding heart, crying her name. I know I'm being cheesy, blame the writer!

"I Love You, Zia..." I sang heartedly.

"You do?" she asked on a whisper.

"Yes sweetheart.."

"but you're killing me.. i-uhh.. uhg.. I c-can't breath.."

"Oh! I'm sorry..." I dropped my arms off of her. "i'll blow them now, I'm hungry too.." I was about to blow them, but she stop me from doing it.

"Let's sing you a birthday song first." she said,  she began singing the song, and before I blow my candles, she beat me on doing them. I just ended laughing at her action. "sorry.. I like blowing candles.." she sang happily.
