Chapter 592 - Climax 6...

"Listen to me sweetheart. You really have no idea what I am going through. I agree I should have had a word with you before you left and I am really sorry for that but please understand that I am going through a very rough time in my life. You are the only happiness I have ever found in my life. And when you had to leave me at that moment, I was once again deported to my previous sad lifestyle. I have terrible nighmares and their are several other dark and scary things that are going on in my life. I am not ashamed of you and neither am I scared of introducing you to my family. My mother and aunt are extemely good people and they will love and welcome you for sure. They both have had an extremely humble beginning in their lives and they have always taught us that class and wealth are just temporary things." Kareem literally pleaded before the girl and Sheryl sighed a bit in sadness and guilt. She did not know what to say to the boy. She wanted to believe the boy but she was also scared at the same time.

She was scared that she might be heart broken and completely shattered if Kareem somehow breaks her trust. She had actually fallen for the boy too hard which was scaring the hell out of her. She did not reply to the boy and was thinking constantly about what to say to him.

Having getting no reply from the girl, Kareem pleaded once again. "Please my love you have to trust me. Things are not that simple as they seem to you. But this is for sure that, I am not scared of any commitment. I am just scared of you getting hurt. That is it." Kareem spoke with much remorse in his voice. 

"Me getting hurt? What are you talking about?" Sheryl frowned trying to understand the man's words.

Kareem was about to reply when suddenly Elizabeth started to speak her vows and he instead turned away his face to hear his mother's words.

"Lee, Of all the people you've met on your journey and of all the places you've been, somehow and someway, you ended up here—with me. It is the most powerful and humbling fact that I can accept. I used to think that we met by chance but now I know without a doubt that the universe put you in front of me because we were meant to spend our lives together. You have filled my life with joy and have given me a sense of peace that I have never known. You are my best friend, my biggest supporter and my soul mate. Although today marks the start to the rest of our lives, I know it will not be enough time with you. I will not take our time together for granted. And because words cannot do it, I promise to show you, for the rest of my life, how much I love you.

I promise to encourage you to follow your dreams.

I promise to make you laugh when you are taking yourself too seriously.

I promise to hold your hand through the good times and through the bad times.

I promise to be loyal and faithful and to put you before all else.

I promise to never stop making up songs for you. Although, I know you wish I would.

And I promise that when we are old and gray, we will look back on our lives together and we have no regrets.

...From this day forward, you will never walk alone." Elizabeth spoke with tears falling from her eyes, while they both held each other hand, looking intensely in each other's eyes. Xio Lee wiped away her tears and they both hugged each other for a very long time. The entire family stood up and cheered for them and they soon exchanged their rings with a wide grin on their faces and spoke the magical 'I do' words.

As soon as the priest spoke the 'you may now kiss the bride' words, Xio Lee gave a passionate smooch on the lady's lips in front of everybody making the lady blush to the core. But after just a few seconds, the lady was kissing him back passionately, amidst everybody's hooting.

"I too would love to kiss you like that one day." James who was cheering for the couple suddenly spoke up once again teasingly in Cheryl's ear. He had been during the entire event speaking such flirty and naughty scentences in her ear making her extremly comfortable.

Finally after the ceremony was over and everybody was busy talking to each other, Cheyrl turned to look at James in anger. She had by now, completely lost her patience towards the boy. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Come over to one aloof corner. We have to talk! Right now!"

James was a little taken aback by the girl's anger and he nodded his head in a 'yes' as they both walked to the other side of the pond, surrounded by trees and large stones and rocks. 

"Hmm.. Tell me beautiful. Why are you angry with me?" James tilted his head a bit in connfusion looking at Cheryl who now seemed a little stressed out. 

She immediately turned to look at James and was once again reminded of the dream she had in the morning. "Listen! I do not know, what you think of me but I am a changed person. I might have had a bad and shameful past and this gives you a good reason to think that I am an easy catch but I have really changed. So please you can try these gimmics on somebody else, as, I have to live upto my sister's expectations and I can not let her down this time. So please stop this nonsense with me."

"I am glad you are a changed person but it has nothing to do with me. Do you think I am the kind of person who goes about flirting with every second girl I talk to? You and I... We have this special connection. And you can not deny that you have felt it too. And I am not flirting with you, I am just speaking what is in my heart. I know, this is all too sudden for you, but some or the other day I am sure I shall be able to convince you." James spoke with utmost honesty and seriousness.

Sheryl chuckled a bit sarcastically looking at James. She seated herself on a rock at the edge of the pond looking at the beautiful water body in front of her. "Connection? Hah! Their is no such thing as connection in this world. It is all full of greed and hatred. If you are talking about the dream, I might have been talking in my sleep again. I often do that since childhood, so it is no big deal for you to know about my dream. You think you have a connection with me? What if I tell you my darkest secret? Would you still say the same words to me?" Cheryl laughed off the man's words, hurting his feelings a bit.

"Dark secret? What are you talking about?" James frowned a bit, feeling a bit gloomy as the girl had out - rightly rejected his feelings for her.

"I am pregnant. I slept with my boss and was bribed a movie role, so that I could spoil your sister's life. In that excitement, I even forgot to take a pill and it has landed me with his baby. The worse part is that if I tell my boss that I am carrying his child, he probably might get me or the baby killed." Cheryl sighed not looking at the boy even once. She knew the boy will soon develop an aversion from her after hearing such a dirty secret fom her mouth.

James was taken aback for a few seconds. More than the fact that the girl was pregnant, he was confused about who Cheryl's boss was, who so eagerly wanted to spoil his sister's life. Could Davis directly contact Cheryl for this purpose? But he doubted this because a strong man like Davis would not appoint a weak person like Cheryl to do the job, who had much chances of failure. It had to be somebody else for sure. Just then something occured in his mind and he gaped at Cheryl in horror. Augus!!
