Stefan’s POV

Of course I’m so happy. My happiness knows no bounds. Sitting here with her is one of the things I want to do all my life.

“well……everything just seems to amaze me . especially with the fact that I’m now with my favorite person”. I let out the parable words to her and that’s because I want her to figure out my true intentions by giving her Body language without telling her straight, through conversation. If she’s a smart person, she will be able to figure out the True meaning behind my words.

“I’m so happy to hear. I guess I must have been mistaking you to be a single man. But after all, how can a handsome man like you be single”. She let out a whisper which was loud enough for me to hear and I couldn’t stop myself from blushing. She covered her mouth with her palm the moment she realized that I must have heard what she said.

“Did you hear what I say?” She rasped at me in fear and I just gotta admit that she was cute even though she was doing her face like a puppy cat.

“Yes I do. But I think you have made a mistake in assuming that I was in a relationship. I’m currently waiting for the right person Okay. There was this lady I like but she doesn’t know”. The moment she heard my statement, a smile crept through her lips as she narrowed her gaze to the other side and smiled back at Me.

“Why are you keeping her waiting? I think she might like you back. You may never know without trying”. Her words give me so much courage that I feel like proposing to her right now but not in front of these people and not in this particular place. They might tell me to remove my mask so they could see my face the moment I do that, and I don’t want that to happen. I just feel like our relationship should be private first before making it a public one. “You’re right Raven. I just hope she won’t reject me when I finally do that”. I smiled at her and I could see the sad look in her eyes.

I’m sure she somehow wishes she was the person I’m planning to propose to. Of course I could see the undying love she has for me in her eyes. It’s just that she wasn’t really sure whether to give in or not. She was just so confused. The party ended around 8pm and I went to meet Raven who was with her family and ask her if she was going with me, which she couldn’t regret after her father told her to go back with me although she insisted in the first place.

“You really need to go with Raven. Who knows if Ava William is in town. I really don’t want that girl anywhere around you Raven, so please take your leave right now and go back to New York”. I was stunned to hear such words from Katherine who I thought must have hated this my new personality.

I thought she would be against her child for going home with a stranger like me but I’m stunned.

Just to find trouble, I turned to look at Richard Black who hasn’t said anything. I thought he hated me, so Why can’t he comment on his thoughts? Finally, he cleared his throat, pulling everyone’s attention as they all turned to look at him.

“Do you know this man that you guys are telling Raven to follow? What if he uses her for ritual? We can’t really trust men of……

“!!

Katherine closed his mouth before he could complete his statement as I smiled and completed it for him. “Men nowadays, right? I think you’re right. But I can assure you that I’m nothing like them”.

I shrugged at him in order to Shame him and prove him wrong. “I understand how concerned you’re uncle but he’s a kind man. He was the one who surprised me at my dad’s birthday party without me realizing where I was going so don’t see him in that way”.

Raven uttered, siding me as I smiled. “Why don’t we have dinner before you go?” Raven’s mother came out of nowhere with the offer of me eating with them and I just can’t believe it. “I’m okay ma’am. Thank you”. I turned back to walk away when I felt Harper’s hand on my back.

“It’s rude to reject our offer Stephen. Trust me you’re going to like the food”. Having no choice, I went to eat with them over the dinner.

I could see the heartwarming smile on Raven’s face the moment I sat down to eat. At this moment, Katherine’s eyes rolled at me as I was about to pass the scrumptious spaghetti in my mouth. “Aren’t you having any difficulties with the masks you’re putting on?*

She questioned me as I nodded my head. “I’m okay ma’am. Thanks for the concern. I replied back to her hoping that we’re cool now, not until she asks me about it again and this time around I just kinda hope I never make such a mistake of coming to dinner in the first place.

*I know you’re doing this for fancy but just take off your mask so you can eat well Okay. You don’t have to keep your identity away from us. You can consider us as your family”. Richard added and that was when I realized that this was planned by both of them. “Come on Stephen. We’re waiting for you”. My eyes widened the moment I Heard Raven Saying that. Gosh at this moment, I think I’m doomed.
