THE KISS
*A sequel to MARIANA*
* Chapter 1*
SIMONICA'S POV
The moment we were sent to the cell when we got to the police station, I gave Aria a resounding slap.
"What was that for mum?"
"How could you Aria? If I had knew that you were responsible for Toby's attempted death, I wouldn't have gone ahead and helped you.
How desperate were you? I can't believe my own daughter did this."
I closed my eyes as tears spill from my eyes and uttered those words I never thought I could ever say to my child.
"You're a disgrace Aria, and I feel so much ashamed to call you my daughter." I faced away from her.
Since when did she get out of hand and I didn't notice?
That beautiful celebrity was right after all. I've failed as a mother.
"How's that my fault mum? If you had not helped me out all this wouldn't have happened. Don't shift blames." She grumbled.
She's right!
In my guest to acquire riches, I lost everything including my respect.
I wonder how long we're going to spend in jail.
"You know what mum, I think I should be the one to regret ever having a mum like you. You lead me into all this this, only if you had played the role of a mother properly, I wouldn't have gone wayward."
I choked on my spit as I heard those words.
"Water." I whispered.
A bottle of water was thrown at me and I quickly opened it up and gulped it at ago.
"You've just been here for some minutes and you're already screaming for water. You should be glad that those who send you here are quite generous and the duration given was just some few days."
This were the words of the police officer and he was right.
After two weeks, we were freed.
Not only that. A car was waiting at the entrance when we were out.
The car took us to a mansion which was said to be ours. I didn't believe it but then, it was true. That wasn't all, a whole boutique was opened for me. With all this, I didn't have to go back to Palau.
I got to know who was behind it and it was the Dominguez's.
I tried countlessly going over to apologise and thank them but I wasn't allowed to.
It has been a year now and I still haven't seen or spoken to any of them but I do see them on the TV.
Fortunately for Aria, she got enrolled in the same school with Mariana and being the seniors about to graduate, today was their prom night.
I can't wait for her to tell me that she was crowned the prom queen. It has always been her dream.
I kept checking the time since it was already 10pm.
I heard a loud thud from the door and quickly ran to check only to see Aria looking wasted with a beer bottle in hand.
"What's wrong Aria? Why are you so drunk?" I held her up in to the room after taking the bottle from her.
"She always get what she wanted Mum. It has always been her. Why can't I be a prom queen too?" She grumbled drunkenly.
What is she talking about? She's so foolish some times.
BETSY
It was our prom and i was dressed beautifully in my prom dress as i walked quickly to the school's auditorium where it was being held.
Someone grabbed me from behind on my way, covered my mouth and pulled me into one of the classrooms and locked the door.
The person's hands came free from my face.
The moment my eyes set on the person, I squealed in excitement and hugged him.
"Megan!"
What is he doing here? He was supposed to be in college.
"Hey Betty."
"Hey, it's Betsy not Betty."
"But i love Betty rather." He pouted and pulled me by the waist to him.
I looked around shyly.
Megan and I have been dating not too long ago and even though I love him to the moon and back, I can't help getting nervous around him.
And to think I was even a year older than him but in our relationship, age is not a factor at all.
I wasn't perfect or exceptionally beautiful but I was enough for him. He love me unconditionally and I love him like crazy.
I stared in to his charming magnificent eyes and face and couldn't help but ask myself how I got lucky to have such a dashing boyfriend.
Megan was all I could ever asked for.
"Hey who are you busy thinking about while am here with you?" He asked and chewed the gum in his mouth sensually.
"What are you doing here Megan? You're suppose to be in college." I asked rather.
"Hey, can't I see my girl whenever and wherever I want?"
"That's not what i meant..."
"Then what? Don't you want to see me? Tell me did you get a date?"
He moved away from me and chewed on his lips.
He's angry.
This is what has been our problem all this time.
He gets jealous and angry too quickly and I know why. It's because of our age difference.
He thinks am going to leave him for someone more older and matured than him but he got it all wrong.
I walked to him and hugged him from behind.
He calmed down after a while before i moved to his front.
I took his hand and placed it on my heart.
"Can you feel my heart beat? Can you feel it beating? Always know that, this heart only beats for you Megan and no one else. I belong to you and you alone nobody else can take your place. You and I belong to each other Megan."
"You're trying to sweet talk me again right?" He asked.
"Then look into my eyes Megan, you'll see it all. You'll see how much am mad and head over heels for you."
"I don't need to." He whispered and hugged me.
"Am sorry my Betty. I love you."
"I love you too Meg. I love you too much."
"Can we go out now?" I asked after the hug.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I just want to be with you Betty. You know how this girls are when they see me, don't you?"
"Yes. Buy what are we going to do? I don't want to miss the prom and i also don't want to go away from you."
"I've got a solution for that."
"What? How?"
He brought out his iPhone and switched on a video. It was a live video of what was happening at the auditorium.
"Wow!" I exclaimed.
We found a seat at the back of the classroom and began to watch but he wasn't watching though. He was only pretending to since he's eyes was constantly hovering around my face.
"What is it Megan? Do you want something?"
"No, it's just that you're looking so beautiful tonight and I can't get my eyes off no matter how hard I tried. And I still can't believe you're mine. All mine."
I blushed profusely.
"Oh my gosh! Stop flattering, me will you?"
"Until you give me a kiss."
I leaned in and kissed his forehead and looked back to the video.
"Not romantic enough." He frowned slightly.
I was about to kiss him again when I saw the prom king being announced.
It was no one else other than Donovan Walker popularly called Novan he's the school's best football and basketball player he's also the school's most handsome and baddest boy and a sworn enemy of Mariana.
They both never get along properly and always fight among themselves anytime they got the opportunity.
Novan was rich but not as rich as Mariana. They both were popular for their cuteness, constant fight and riches on campus.
But Mariana was known to be the richest teenager and almost the whole world know that.
She's infact competing with the handsome dude sitting beside me in terms of riches.
I stared at the screen eagerly for the name of the prom queen to be mentioned.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our prom queen for this night is...."

INTRODUCTION There’s always that guy… the one who always understands. Yes, the one who just knows the right things to say and when to say them; the one who fits into last minute plans without complaining? The one who will listen to you speak your heart out when you are troubled. The one who will watch the sunset with you and won’t mind breaking the night with you when you can’t sleep. The guy who always picks his phone, the guy who is never too busy for you, the guy who will show up even when he knows you are calling only because you got disappointed. The one who is selfless with his money? The guy who won’t mind sacrificing his important activities just to accommodate you. The guy who laughs at all your silly jokes, the guy who doesn’t mind you being clumsy or grumpy. Always understanding. The one whose answer is usually “no problem...” the guy who is everything but the one. He is just not the one. As a matter of fact he is nothing like the one. You don't like him, you don't fancy him, he doesn't tickle anything in you.. He is just not the one! Thandiwe is the name, the age isn’t the problem. I presume, unless you just haven’t identified him, there is always that guy. That guy in this case is Henry.. but he isn’t the one.. the one is Ndaweni.. the most handsome guy I have ever come cross. Accountant by profession, tall, perfectly built and absolutely amazing. So amazing he actually makes it obvious. Many are the times I feel like I’m pushing for this relationship to work. I know many of you will say I should leave but naaa.. you just don’t leave like that. Guys are hard to find these days you know. Guys that you actually like, very rare. But why do they grow big-headed? It always starts out so well up until they know you like them. Suddenly the relationship is a pain... you literally have to hold it together and you feel like a nag. Yes they come around once in a while but that’s just to boost their ego. The moment you seem to play the silent treatment they come back with their tails folded and as we are so loving, we tend to fall in love and lay down our hearts again before they trip once again. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Great let me tell you about my life then.
Daniela's POV ~ 7:02pm. It was just two minutes past 7pm, and yet it was those two minutes that I knew would push him over the edge. Just two. I let out a nervous breath as I pushed open the front door to his overly luxurious apartment, stepping inside before I closed it quietly behind myself. I held my keys tight in my hand to stop them from jingling as I carefully dropped them into my purse. I guess I don't know why I was trying to be quiet, he knew I was home, he always knew. I made my way through the apartment and towards the stairs leading to the second floor. I went as quickly as I could up the stairs while trying my best to not let the excessive amount of chains and metal pieces on my Louis Vuitton purse jingle. Having a couple of dangly key chains on a purse is all well and good when you're trying to make the purse look pretty, but as soon as you're trying to be quiet it's pretty much game over for you. The second I stopped outside our bedroom door, I took a deep breath before I opened it, thankful that he was so rich that his doors didn't creak at all. He probably used some fancy ass oil to grease the hinges. Maybe you would expect someone like him to be relaxing downstairs in the living room with a beer, or maybe out with his brother or his friends since it was Friday night - possibly even with another girl. But he wasn't like that, he saved all that shit for later. Instead he was sitting at the edge of the bed, watching me as I opened the door. I didn't even have to look at him for long to know what was going through his head. The moment my brown eyes met his blue ones, I knew today wasn't going to be a good one for me. Actually I knew that since this morning when I accidentally woke him up while I was getting ready for work. He was too tired then but I knew he would bring it up tonight. The fact I was late home just made it even worse. "Daniela." My name left his mouth in a cold tone dripping with anger as he rose to his feet. "Ayden." I gripped the leather handles of my purse in my hand, watching his tall form as he closed the gap between us slightly. "You're late."
