Lizzy Received A Message From Her Boyfriend

Alex stood up and smiled and all eyes were on him as he held Lizzy's hand and she stood up and they went to the stage.

When the name of Alex was mentioned, Elisa was among the ladies distributing wine to the guests. She didn't think twice.

"Another Alex," she thought. But when she heard Alex's voice introducing Lizzy, she looked at the stage at once.

"Lizzy? My friend?"

She was embittered and dropped the tray of glass cups in her hands and went out of the hall at once.

The host, who was in his late thirties said,

"Mr. Alex, how did you meet your fiance?"

"We met at a business meeting. She is the CEO of a designer's enterprise. The moment I set my eyes on her, I knew she was mine."

"Miss Lizzy, what do you like about Alex?" The host turned his face to Lizzy.

"I love many things about him. I never knew love until he stepped into my life. There has been a great change in my life since I knew him. If all men can be like my beloved Alex, there wouldn't be a break up anymore."

There was a great applause from the crowd.

"That's so touching," said the host and even Alex was surprised at her words.

"Mr Alex, what's the shoe size of your fiance?"

Alex imagined the size of her feet from the screen when Lizzy came to his house the first time.

"She wears size 35 or 36."

Someone had given Lizzy a pen and a white board to write down the size of her shoe.

"Please Miss Lizzy, can you show us what you wrote?" The host said. Lizzy turned the little board and she wrote size 34. There was uproar from the crowd. The same question was thrown to Lizzy to say Alex's size of shoe and then gave Alex a pen and another white board.

"He wears size 43," Lizzy said.

"Mr Alex, let us see what you wrote."

Alex turned the board and it was size 42.

"What's her bra size Mr Alex?" The host asked. Alex looked at her breasts and said,

"Size 34."

Lizzy turned the board in her hand and it was 34 she wrote. There was applause from the crowd.

"You got it right. For that reason, you will need to give her a two minute kiss."

"You didn't tell me about this?" Lizzy said to Alex when he walked closer to her.

"Let's stage everything for my mum. I know she is behind this."

"That means she loves you," she replied and they kissed. Alex's hands were on her waist and Lizzy put her hands on his neck. After the kissing, Alex playfully wanted to take Lizzy off the stage even when the host had not said they should go.

"Please Mr Alex, we haven't done the main thing yet." His words stopped Alex and Lizzy.

"What next?" Alex asked.

"Do you love Miss Lizzy?"

"Yes I do," he replied.

The host took the mic and went close to Lizzy.

"Do you love Mr. Alex."

"Yes, I do."

"What stops us from turning this gathering into a wedding fiesta?"

"Not now," Alex quickly replied.

"Who wants this wedding to take place?" The host asked the crowd. Many people from the crowd raised their hands.

"When the time is right, we will invite everyone," Alex said.

"Let me ask your mom for her wish." The host came down and went to Alex's Mom and asked her of her wish. After discussing for a few seconds, the host came back and said,

"Your mum has a wish. She said you should engage Miss Lizzy in the presence of everyone."

"No ring here." He demonstrated with a smiling face to his mum.

"I have a diamond ring with me," his mum said. Then the host left the stage again and went to collect the ring from Alex's Mom and brought the ring to Alex. The crowd was waiting.

"What have I got myself into?" Alex thought. "This most the handiwork of my mum," he added.

He took the ring and engaged Lizzy with one knee on the floor. Alex's mom was so happy that she stood up and clapped her hands. Alex held Lizzy's hand and they came down finally.

"Mum, what's all this?" He whispered into her ear.

"It was never my making. But I am happy for you."

As Lizzy was sitting down, she received a message on her phone. She opened her bag and saw that there were four unread messages. All the message were from Gabriel, her boyfriend. She quickly opened and saw the the following.

"Well done! This is the meeting at your place of work. I knew you were fucking with Mr Alex."

"Oh my God!" Her heart flew up. She opened the other messages.

"This is the event I wanted you to come with me. But you preferred him. You lied."

Lizzy wasn't herself that moment and she turned to Alex.

"Please, I'm having headache. Take me to somewhere to rest my head please."

"Oh! Sorry." He said and spoke to his mom with a low tone before standing up and took Lizzy to his room.

"Do you need so medication?" He asked.

"No. I just want to be alone," she walked around the room.

"Is everything alright?" He asked.

"Yes. But I want to be alone."

"You are making me uncomfortable. How can I leave you alone?"

Then she started crying.

"Why are you crying?" He moved closer to her.

"I am in big trouble. You have damaged my relationship."

"How? I don't understand."

"In pleasing you, I lied to my boyfriend. I told him I have an important meeting with my boss' client. He had invited me to come with him to this occasion, but I declined his request. I didn't know this was this event. He wanted us to come together. Look," she he gave him the messages to read. Alex took the phone and read all the messages.

"What am I going to do? You just cracked my relationship from top to the very bottom. You even engaged me. What am I going to tell my boyfriend? How will he believe me?"

"There must be a way out…"

And as Alex was talking, Lizzy took her phone from Alex and called Gabriel's number. The phone rang and rang, but he didn't pick up her call. Lizzy started crying without stopping.

"The painful part is that I lied multiple times. First, he came to my place of work, I wasn't there. He saw both of us and I defended you. Oh my goodness. How can I overcome this problem?"

"Calm down. I will think of a solution."

"What solution? What solution can solve this? He doesn't pick up my calls again. He saw us kissing. You accidentally knew the size of my bra. I told lies because of you, that I never meant love until I met you. I wouldn't have come to your house in the first place. My coming brought this to me."

When Alex saw that he could not calm her, he decided to leave her alone to calm down. He went to his seat and sat down.

"Where is your fiance?" Alex's mother asked.

"She is inside my room," he replied and the party was still going on. After some minutes and Alex's mother didn't see Lizzy, she asked again.

"I hope everything is alright with Lizzy?"

"Yes." Alex answered.

"Why is she not here?" She asked. When Alex did not respond, she stood and left the hall. Alex never thought she was going to meet Lizzy because of the direction she

took. She didn't want Alex to know her direction. She turned around and went to Alex's room and knocked. Lizzy thought it was Alex and she waited for a while before opening the door.

"My darling Lizzy." She embraced her. "Please clean your tears. I know you were overwhelmed by what just happened.

"As a family, we love you so much." She patted her back. Lizzy could not open up to her. Lizzy dragged her breath and tried to feel relaxed.

"I want you to stay until Monday."

"I will be going to work on Monday."

"What about next weekend? I am ready to do anything for you as soon as Alex impregnates you. I need a grandchild.
