"Why syl. why are you being so selfish I finally got the hope of love, and you are selfishly going to take it away by making a deal with death." Annie sat on the bathroom floor crying her eyes out as Syl stood there fill with guilt and fear he didn't know how to face her but still dare knock the door.
"Annie, Annie it's me open the door let explain, please."
After some time of total silent between them Annie finally opens the door with tears in her eyes, he took her hands, but she removes it. "Annie, I don't want to do this believe me I feel so bad with how you are feeling right now but my uncle did so many things for me, he took care of me while my dad was still recovering from my mother death, if I don't save him than I'll be so ungrateful."
"But would it please him that you got kill for him, Syl. I don't want to lose you please don't do this to me if I lose you, I'll will die." She pleaded as she hug him tightly.
"I won't die, I promise I'll come back to you."
"What do you mean you won't die; you are going alone in an area that is full of gangster ready to slaughter you and you are saying you won't die how is that possible Syl. TELL ME SYL...tell me." She said with the tears flowing even more harder.
"Who said I'll be going alone; I just won't be going with you."
"What, why?"
"Annie you are my woman not my guard and I won't take that risk."
"You are going on a dangerous mission I'm not going to hideout while you go out there risking your life, I'm no weakling anymore Syl. I'm strong now."
Syl. pull her closer and tighten his hands around her waist and spoke. "Annie, you said if you lose me, you will die but if I lose you, I will lose my meaning of living and to a man that's worse than death."
"Promise, promise you will return."
Syl smirk as he pulls her chin up and kiss her hard as they pull away, he spoke. "I'll always come to you by all means possible."
"Okay."
"So have you agreed to be my woman."
"Yes...yes."
And of course, it always ends with a kiss, a long one at that
