ROSA
She couldn’t get down from the car, she was just too nervous. She kept on looking at Francis’ s hand which she was supposed to take so he could help her down . She just couldn’t,
It was almost ten in the night and they had just arrived at the FLEEZE. They had driven for a while before they actually got to the venue. Everything had been normal between the both of them all through the journey as they sat at the back of the Audi which had brought them. They had joked and laughed throughout the journey, nothing was out of place as they had both chose not to discuss what happened in the morning when they had almost kissed. Except for Angela’s call that had come in at that perfect moment. They didn’t discuss it..She was trying to ignore it as he was.
Here, she was, sitting down with one of the most-sought after billionaire men in the country, wearing an YSL Heels and a Dior gown the prices of which were totally more than her salary in a two years. She calculated it.
It had been fun at first and she was terrifically enjoying herself, especially the way Francis had looked at her when she was climbing down the stairs

. Even John and the guys that were around then couldn’t stop staring, she had turned heads and the way she had felt then was indescribable. She didn’t know if she had ever flushed that much before.
“You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen Rosaline“
John had said to her when she landed, placing a kiss on her cheek while Francis took her hand. “You never stopped amazing me.”
That had melted her. 
The other ladies of the house apart from Ella and Peri who had gone had all complimented her,Tatia and Bree had even helped her in dressing up. She never had issues with any of them. It was through them she had gotten to know that Debby had gone with Ella and Peri. The thought that Debby hadn’t invited her to tag along worried her. 
Did she know Francis would invite her?
The car came to a halt at around forty minutes after they had been driving around for a while. She didn’t really know the name of the area but she knew they must have left Abuja a while ago.
She could hear the noise of loud music and the press as well. She knew she couldn’t do this.
“Come, on Rosa, let’s go” 
She shook  her head. “I can’t Francis”
She expected him to be angry but he only smiled  and caressed her cheek with his thumb. He really needed to stop doing that, he had no idea what that did to her or maybe he did know and that was why he kept on doing it.
“You are with me Rosa, I invited you, we are in this together and I will hold your hand every step of the way. Remember I’m just getting used to this sort of life too. Why don’t you try enjoy it?”
She breathed in and out loudly.
Without asking her this time, he grabbed her hand and pulled her firmly but gently out of the car.
“I’m sorry but I had to do that.” He said as they walked in.
 The place was a mixture of both silver and gold . People arrived by the dozen . All dressed expensively. The paparazzi was much. She could spot faces she had never seen before except in movies and magazines.
Dainty diamond lights added surplus amount of color to the parade of footsteps. There was light everywhere, it was difficult to notice it was just some minutes past ten in the night.
Her hand was tucked in his bent hand and they walked to the entrance of the hall. She had no difficulty in walking in her heels as she had imagined. It was as if they were part of her legs. As they approached the red carpet, a group of people were taking pictures of a lady dressed in a black gown…she twirled around to show the full picture of the gown she wore while tens of microphones were before her.
“It’s Prada..”  The lady said into the mic that someone just extended to her. As she heard the voice, Rosa froze. Francis must have felt her froze for he squeezed her had to support her. It was Debby in the black gown.
Her heart was beating rapidly as they got closer and one of the photographers spotted them.
“Look, It’s Frank Nicholas’ son” She screamed excitedly and Rosa watched as they group rushed towards them, abandoning Debby who looked surprised and disappointed as the group was now formed around them. Blocking Debby’s view from her.
Camera light was all over her face as they recorded and took her pictures.
“We are happy to have you here Francis, can you tell us what you are wearing. I can see it must worth a fortune.” A lady in an all-white jumpsuit addressed Francis who only smiled.
“I don’t buy my cloths, I have someone that does that for me but I feel like I’m around one million naira clothed”
The crowd laughed at his joke and more flash lights on them as they  all walked to the Red carpet. She couldn’t turn her head for fear of meeting Debby’s gaze.
“Who is this gorgeous lady beside you Francis?” A man asked
“That dress is wow! ” said another lady.
“She is so beautiful, what is your name please?”
Before Rosa could answer, another shouted.
“Oh! It’s the lady he took to his mother’s grave. Wow! She is so beautiful, what is your name? Please tell us”
Rosa felt Francis’s touch, signaling for her to talk. 
Mustering courage , she spoke into the Mic. 
“I am Rosalina” 
“WOW! Such a beautiful name..Are you both getting married soon?”
“Is she your girlfriend or just a date Francis?”
She was getting uncomfortable with all these questions but they were all waiting expectantly for his reply.
“Yes, she is my girlfriend and her name is Rosa like she had said.”
Rosa was shocked. What did he just say?
Before she could say anything, Francis planted a kiss on her lips, silencing her. The crowd screamed  cheered and clapped and a billion flashlights must have flashed on them but her mind was so far away.
Right there, in the public, Francis was kissing her, when Debby was just some foot away. She couldn’t breathe, heat and cold sparked deeply in her at the same time as his lips touched hers. At that moment it was like the time was still and the noise of the public faded into the background and the worry about  Debby melted as she closed her eyes. He tasted of strawberry and she remembered he had licked a strawberry lollipop earlier. 
“I’ve wanted to do that since yesterday” He whispered close to her lips, giving her a cocky smile and a wink before pulling away, holding her hand....interlocking his fingers into hers...Like a real couple...This was getting out of hand…
“We are so happy to hear that. Please can we take your personal pictures?” the lady in the white jumpsuit asked and Francis nodded, squeezed her hand a little before moving a bit away from her so they could get personal Pictures taken.
Some minutes later, it was all over and Francis came over, holding  her by the waist.
“Debby, can you come over so we can take a picture of this beautiful couple and you together. You are  such a beautiful family, too bad Frank  isn’t here”
Rosa couldn’t look at her as she walked towards them, Francis was in between them and several lights flashed again.
“Can you smile please? Rosa and Debby?”
She grinned as widely as she could and she was sure Debby did the same.
“Perfect” 
Francis turned to her.
“Come on babe, let’s go”
She sighed as he spoke to her, holding her by the waist as they walked past Debby, she could feel Debby’s cold stare behind her and she knew she would have fainted if not for Francis arm that was around her. 

ALRIGHT I HOPE WE UNDERSTOOD THAT. SO LET US SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR FAVORITE COUPLE A YEAR AFTER THE COURT SAGA...

EPILOGUE

“Careful Frank, if you break that medal, mummy would spank you”
Shouted Francis to his two years old boy who was running around with one of the medals his wife had been awarded two years back as bestseller for her novel-When A woman wants.

“Frank Nicholas, You should listen your daddy, Mummy won’t be nice if you break that thing” Said a pregnant Rosa, coming out of the kitchen.
Francis laughed and lifted Frank from the floor unto his laps as laughed excitedly.
Rosa sat beside her family while her husband put the other arm around her.
John came in, handling some document.

“Hello lover birds. Oh! Come on Frank and give Uncle John a hug”

The little boy jumped from his father’s laps and ran to hug his uncle who lifted him on his shoulder.

“Daddy daddy see, I’m taller than all of you” The boy sang excitedly.

“Oh sure you are” replied John with a laugh.

“So did you speak to them John?” Rosa asked.

“Yes. They want the fifth edition and I got news from Fox Screen that they would like turn it  into a movie so..we already made all the arrangements and finalized about the deal. Will tell you all about that Later. The Channels  TV also want to have an interview  with the two of you since the book is a true life story and you know, I have lots I need to discuss.

“WOW! Honey that’s fantastic, I am so proud of you” Frank said to his wife as he kissed her.

“Thanks Love” Rosa replied and stood up. “Why don’t we go to my office and discuss it John”

“Alright” said John as he handed Frank back to his father and followed pregnant Rosa to  a room that had once belonged to the former Mrs. Nicholas and which was now converted into Rosa’s personal office.
