I'm Still Here: Sequel For 'Step Daddy No'

Chapter 50

"Where are you going? We have matters to discuss". If I allow her adorable eyes to capture me here I'm gonna be late. This meeting is very important. Not more than her, but she'll always be here.

"I know but this meeting is urgent. I'll be back soon". I don't know what she want us to discuss, but I know something is bothering her. I leaned down and peck her on the lips. So sweet.

"I'm in a hurry. I'll be back soon". I quickly walked to the door. I need to give her the code.

Let me test her skills.

"Remember, I love you". I said it in a way that if she go back into her head she probably think about it.

After I left the meeting I've decided to call Leon.

"What's up?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Does something always have to be up whenever I call you?" He chuckle. I smile because something is up indeed.

"Sometimes. I'm still at the office. Is it something important?"

"Yes it is. Meet me at Polo's".

"Polo's? What are you- oh are you planning-".

"Leon just shut up and meet me at Polo's". He chuckled.

"My little boy is becoming a man". Oh boy.

"I'm wrapping things up I'll be there soon".

"Yeah".

I've been sitting here in my car for like an hour. That's not wrapping things up Leon. Let me call him back.

"I'm right behind you". He said before hanging up. I look in my rear view mirror. He'd just pulled up behind me.

I got out of my car. I activated the alarm.

"So..". He shove his hands into his pockets. "Why do you want to come here?" I'm sure he have an idea why.

"I've been thinking for a while...I want to marry Akeilia. I need her to be my wife. I want her to be mine only".

"Very good idea my friend. Soo why do you need me here?"

"Why did you need me when you were planning on marrying Monique?"

"Just kidding man let's go".

We crossed the road and walked into Polo's. It's a huge jewelry store. The best in town. The guy who owned the place name is Polo. I'm not sure if that's a nickname or his real name. I see couples here buying and some trying to decide what to buy.

We looked through a few in a show case. Many different styles are here. But I don't like any of them.

"What about that one?" Leon pointed at the gold ring encrusted with a huge diamond. I groaned.

"Too common. None of these look like her". I sigh. It feels good thinking of her as my wife. I just know she's the one. I wanna wait for the perfect moment.

"How would you know?" Leon asked squinting his eyes looking down at them.

Then it came to me.

"What about one that is custom-made?" He raised an eyebrow and look at me.

"What do you have in mind?" I smile having the perfect idea.
