Cynthia LangstonAge-21This time it’s Andrea who interrupts us.“King Aaron, Mrs. Langston, they are ready for you. It’s time for the speeches.”Aaron squeezes my hand and nods at Andrea as she smiles and leaves us to follow her out.Aaron turns toward me while raising my hand. He brings it to his lips and kisses it softly. “Are you ready?”“I am not. I have no idea what I am going to say.” I reply, biting my lips in nervousness. I was never an extrovert nor the best at public speaking. Even in High School, I avoided presentations like a plague. I am so scared, but something inside me wants to address the crowd, address my people. It’s almost like- almost like excitement to meet a family that has been staying away and has finally come home.“Just say whatever comes to your mind. You can keep it short. Just encourage them and everything will be fine. You can do this, baby.&rd

Cynthia LangstonAge-21I was frozen on my spot when Aaron came to my side and touched my arm, jolting me out of my trance. I shook my head and looked up to find him frowning.“Is everything okay?” He mouths.I nod and smile to let him ease up. He takes my hand firmly in his large one, feeling his familiar warmth comforts me as Aaron walks us down the stage. People are still cheering and clapping, but the security is following us close to keep the crowd away.My mind is still on what I have just found. I haven’t told Aaron anything about mother yet but after this; I think I should tell him. Or should I not? Things are amicable right now, but we do have a pretty rocky relationship. But that doesn’t mean I am allowed to hide something, right? But this is between me and my mother. Urghh! I don’t know.Andrea is hot on our heels as she rants away about the mistake in my speech.“You didn’t even ta

Cynthia LangstonAge-21Aaron looked shocked but he recovered fast and again took my hands in his hold." I am sorry, last few days have been tough on me, on us but believe me I am trying."At his sincerity, I couldn't help but smile and nod. I understand, things really have been very tough on us. First the drama with our families, then other people trying to create a mess, and finally the assassination attempt.It's not a piece of public knowledge yet but there was an attempt. Someone is out there planning to hurt my mate, hurt me and they need to think again because no matter what I have to, I am not letting anyone harm any of my family.After our moment, we both were pretty mellow and easy with each other. I kept stealing glances at him and every time I did, he was doing the same. Whenever our eyes met, they held love and admiration for each other.The event started with so much positive energy in the air that I couldn't help but gle

Cynthia LangstonAge-21As the stadium around us erupted into applause and haulers of encouragement, I knew the game was starting. I reluctantly looked up, expecting to see Aaron lined up against the team of Hart sisters but to my surprise, two strangers were standing against them and my mate was nowhere in sight.Frowning I looked around the area, trying to find his shiny blond mane but I couldn’t find it. shrugging I gave up and tried to focus on the game. After around fifteen minutes into the game, Aaron came back and took his seat back. I didn’t have the heart to ask him, in fear of rebuttal but I did look at him in question.Fortunately, this time he was more forthcoming as he replied with, “I was making sure you can take part too. I had managed to change the last two sets. One will be a quiz and the other table tennis. I hope you can take part in one of them.I perked up at his reply and nodded, “Yeah, I can do Quiz.&r

   Cynthia LangstonAge-21He stopped in front of me as I looked up at him with my brightest smile. He was still sweaty from the match as I placed my hand on his sturdy and large chest.“Nice play Mr. Langston,” I said in a small voice, feeling shy from the big audience staring at us right now.Aaron chuckled and picked me up in his arms like a rag doll. My jaw went slack in surprise and my eyes big. I squealed when he raised me up, forcing me to hold his waist with my legs.The crowd roared in delight as I held his vast shoulders and narrowed my eyes at him in annoyance like I wasn’t feeling already on spot enough.He smirked, “What? They want a show! Let’s give them one.”I shook my head and opened my mouth to call him on it but he didn’t give me a chance and crashed his lips on mine, the crowd again erupted into cheers but Aaron and I were too far gone
