As you can see the venue is crowed and it is difficult to have an entrance, this is about Mr. Aiden from the Samford family and Miss Amy from the Tom family. According to the info we got miss Amy is 27 and a worker at All Mates Bakery which is famous for their sweet and awesome cake rolls. The press will start soon and the whole issue will be solved and brought to light as it goes, WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MR. ADEIN AND MISS AMY? This is Flora broadcasting from St. Andrews Street”.

The news was live and the most subscribed to for the day as some bet on the outcome, everyone were on their tip toes, garnishing their nails and in anticipation watched for the door to open, it was frustrating and exciting to know that it will open unexpectedly anytime soon, what could it be call or what was the cause of it?

Simply put it that the young rider of the country was blocked by a mere peasant, Aiden Samford the 27 year old who have been up the ladder since he was 16 making name and fame for himself as he also leads his age grade, the popular gentleman who plays around with those like him and throws in cash like he is eating peanut, why won’t it become viral if he is caught unexpectedly on camera during a life fan video from a famous musician who was video himself entering his room, it would have been brushed off if they were at least separate, but luck not been on their side their bodies were glued together like sandwich…

Bam…Thud!

Everywhere became silent as they watch the brown skin young lady dressed casually in a floral gown which fitted her perfectly and brought out the beauty of her color, her straight shoulder which defined her slender neck, she stood in front of the microphone and looked at everyone and every instrument in there then her eyes rested on the small piece of paper on the altar where the microphones stood. Quickly glancing through it she only scoff and cleared her throat to start talking when she was blasted with a whole train of question.

“Who initiated it?”.

“Are you two couples?”.

“Did he force you?”.

“What are your thoughts on what happened?”.

“How is it knowing you were able to be with Mr. Aiden?”

The question kept coming and she rested on a hip looking at all of them with no interest in her eyes, as time went on and they were not having any progression she drew one of the speakers and threw it hard on the fall which produced a loud screening sound that shut the whole place up making them to quietly look at her.

“You will raise your hand if you want to ask questions and I’m only answering from ten people, I guess that is normal etiquette, right?”, she asked picking the speaker up and putting it right in place.

They were quite surprised how she quiet them, her presences was calm but overwhelming, no one rose their hands for the next five minutes and everywhere was placed in order. Afterwards almost all news persona hand went straight up with speed and stiffness. They could not let her pass them by because it was going to be a light to everyone, their news house and they themselves.

“Before I answer any question, my name is Amy Tom, I’m 27 years old and work at a pastry shop”, she said then scanned through crowd of reporters whose hands were lifted up and she pointed to one, “the hand that has a red friendship bracelet on it, you are first”, it was like she was a teacher in which her students wanted to ask questions from her.

A person wearing red sweater that covered her hand stood up with a huge grin and some droplet of sweats on her face, “Are you and Mr. Aiden dating?”.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t ask for you and would love to answer question from only those I chose, you can kindly sit back and enjoy the show maybe till I pick you which I doubt will happen”, Amy smiled and looked at the one she originally called who stood up immediately.

“What’s your relationship with Mr. Aiden? is it a one night?”, she asked.

She knew this is where it gets interesting, a million people wants to acquire this information and are glue somewhere watching it like it’s something interesting, “my relationship with Mr. Aiden? Well, you could say we are couples, we’ve been dating secretly for two years, three months, four week, five days, six hours, seven minutes, eight seconds”, she replied grinning like an idiot. She sure loves making humor for herself out of matters that are not that trivial.

“So, well, emm, you know how long it is? Thanks”, the red bracelet lady sat looking like other reporters who were feared they may have been talking to a baby or a lady who is actually an idiot.

“It’s just two years and two weeks, the guy with the black suit behind the last speaker”.

He stood up swiftly, “there is no prove online or from anywhere that you two were dating, are you sure it is not a cover up that is been done?”

“Like I said, we dated secretly so there is no possible way for you to know, or maybe you should quickly go and look for the meaning of secret. The person on the second line with a huge spectacle”.

She sure wasn’t going to be easy to crack like they had expected.

It was a lady, “you said you two dated secretly, so it means Mr. Aiden had you to tame him all this while right? Then it has being in more than four newspaper and news station of him entering a hotel with either an actress, musician or the daughter of a fellow client?”.

Amy scoffed inwardly as she felt disgusted with the man named Aiden, “when it is his turn to speak, you can ask him, but all I know is that they were for either a business program about to come up or the signing of an agreement between the both company”.

“But miss, they were so lovely dove to each other and pictured the real definition of what a couple should be”, she asked before she realized she was out of turn.

“What is the true definition of what a couple should be? You got yours from where? Well, I have my way of been a perfect girlfriend and future wife to him so there is no need to know the answer to that question but if you are not satisfied you can ask him when it is his turn”, Amy leaned on the altar as her legs began to have cramps and she felt nauseous for the first time since she had known she was pregnant. Her head turned and it hurt like hell, everything double and was blur, sweat forming on her head, her body becoming weak and numb.

Because of work she had not been able to eat properly in weeks, it either she took a supplement with little snacks or drank coffee with cake, that wasn’t healthy for her one bit most especially her been a pregnant woman. She felt irritated and knew she was going to snap at someone soon, it wasn’t the pregnancy character turn over, that is how she was anytime she was becoming sick.

There was a long pause, everyone was waiting for her to pick out the next person but instead she was making them to wait. Amy looked up, her neck cracking and the muscle stiffness been relieved, she yawned and little tears came out of her eyes, like it was never there, the whole disturbance left and she once again cursed the guy named Aiden.

“The hot guy by the red lady”.

He stood and smiled so warmly one would think he knew her from somewhere, “what is your relationship like now?”.

“So warm and lovely, I can’t help but feel butterfly anytime we are together”, she replied, “the cream gown in front”.

“Miss Amy, your background has been checked and properly evaluated, according to what was gotten it was only till you were 20 years old was out in the open, what of the remain years, do you have anything to hid? Or, are you perhaps a criminal?”.

The place became silent once again when she started laughing all of a sudden before her eyes went cold and her gaze dark, “disgusting”, she said lowly but went into the microphone and vibrated in their ears, “don’t you find it disgusting and creepy if someone goes and check on you behind your back? Who is the criminal now? I have all right to ignore that question so I will do just that, the blue suit with black stripped silver tie”.

“Do you love him?”.

“That’s a personal question and feeling to myself so I am going to ignore it”, she said moving to the next person of her choice.

“When did you meet him?”.

“Two years ago” …

“Who initiated it, the relationship?”.

Chuckle, “you got to be kidding me, it was your mu…it was Aiden” …

“If he says you should break up after the birth of your child what will you do?”.

That question got her thinking, “I’m going to ignore it” …

“What is it like dating him?”

“Stressful but it is worth it”.

Amy did not waste another second and went out through she came in from camera flashing on her, when she got to the dressing room she slumped on the sofa and closed her eye, feeling relived and satisfied, she wondered what sort of editing will be done to it.

Her life was sure adding color, one’s she was unaware of at the moment.
