"Bacon, it's time now so go on…,"
"What are you mumbling about? And haven't you found the lamp yet?" Joanna questioned and moved a step forward.
She was still trying to get her eyes accustomed to the darkness around her when a bright light focusing on the left wall illuminated the room.
"What's that…," She didn't finish talking when a video started playing on the part of the room the light concentrated on.
She was stunned to see that it was a video of her and Amos playing in the forest… No, he was Kayden and not Amos then.
Amos smiled seeing her bewildered expression, he strolled to where she stood and took his position beside her.
"What is this?" Joanna asked and pointed at the video playing and the beautiful decorations of red and white.
"A surprise…," He said with his hands spread. Joanna couldn't stop herself from smiling along.
In fact, her beautiful smile was broader than his.
"If you wanted to propose today, why didn't you tell me?" Joanna said. She covered her blushing face with her palms.
"I could have gone home and changed my clothes. Just look at me, I am a mess now," Joanna said and stared at her waistline where the dirt was very visible.
At that moment she regretted running so much in the forest. If only she had walked, her clothes wouldn't have gotten stained nor would she be wearing Amos' spare sneakers now.
"Do you think I am gonna propose?" Amos asked, chuckling. He couldn't resist the laughter no matter how hard he tried.
"The decorations and all these says it, so…,"
"I only told Kyle to have the room cleaned because I had a surprise. All the decorations were his idea. I didn't know he was gonna set me up again," Amos said, still maintaining his broad smile.
The smile on her face faded when she realised she had made a fool of herself out of excitement.
"If you had no intentions of proposing then what exactly was your surprise?" She asked, not looking thrilled like earlier.
"That over there," He said while pointing at the video on the wall playing through Bacon's eyes.
"Watch carefully because this is the highlight and a few other scenes," he winked naughtily at her.
Joanna instantly looked away when she recalled that the scene about to play was that of her and Kayden kissing the night they had a competition about who caught the boar first.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom He held her chin and tilted her neck so that her gaze was on the video playing.
"Watch it. You are not allowed to look away," he whispered into her ears with his husky tone.
Joanna's face turned beet red when the scene of Kayden capturing her lips in the video popped up.
She started feeling the adrenaline rush inside of her as the kiss intensified. She clutched her fists to suppress the overwhelming feelings building up inside of her but that didn't work.
"I am not…," She turned her head but he shifted her head immediately, making sure that she didn't miss any part of the video.
Apart from this, Bacon played the videos of their sweet moments together. Some scenes left her giggling and cringing while others made her upset.
The lights came on after the video finished playing.
"So, what was this for? I am sure there is a reason why you went this far right? Is there any special occasion I forgot about?" She peered at his face and waited for his response.
"Let's sit first," He said and led her to the table set up with candles, and a bouquet of roses by the side. There was also wine and a dish neatly covered.
It was because of this romantic set up she had assumed he wanted to propose to her.
He held her hands laid on the white table after they had both sat down.
He stared into her eyes intensely and began, "Joan, do you remember the day I confessed my feelings for you for the first time?".
"Of course I do. I recall that I had fainted in your arms because I didn't eat for three days. It was my first time setting foot out of the house after being grounded by Adhara," Joanna relayed in detail to show him that the incident was still vivid in her memory.
"That day you took me to a boutique, got me dressed up and went as far as taking me to a fancy restaurant. I can still remember that I didn't think twice about rejecting your proposal that day…," She let her words linger as she wondered why he would ask her about that incident.
Was he regretting his choice so soon?
Her thoughts wandered far even though her body was present there.
"Why are you asking me that? Are you going to change your mind…,"
"That's because today marks the fifth year of my first proposal," He announced to Joanna's amazement.
"5 years?" Joanna asked while covering her dropped jaw. "It's been that long since then?" She asked.
Thinking back now she couldn't believe that five years had passed within a blink of an eye.
She has always wanted the years to go by in a blink of an eye because she was desperate to become an adult.
But for the first time, she wished that time could just stop. She wished time would stop for at least fifty years. This is because she is afraid this happiness will soon come to an end if time keeps flowing.
All her life she has been plagued with bad luck. She lost her mother when she was barely two years old.
And ever since then she has been living in hell. She thought things would get better after her eighteenth birthday but fate played a cruel one on her again.
She was murdered on her long-awaited eighteenth birthday.
As if that wasn't enough she returned with powers with hopes that she would never get bullied again as long as she possessed these powers.
Once again bad luck struck and she returned to that powerless girl.

Comments make an author believe that his or her readers are not only enjoying his/her book but are also following it. And that is exactly how I feel each time I receive your comments.
What some readers don't know is that not commenting sometimes makes the author feels lonely.
