??Allison’s POV??
.
I flashed a toothy smile as Jonas was led to where I was. The prison warden gave me a knowing look and I nodded, sending him off.
“Hey,” I said, dropping my bag beside me.
“Hey,” he said, wearing a huge smile. “How are you?”
“I’m okay. You?” I questioned.
“Same,” he said with a tight smile. “You look stressed out. Is it the company?” He asked, reaching out to me and placing a palm on my cheek, he caressed it gently with his thumb.. I let the sensation sink before placing my palm on his.
“No. I went to the orphanage today. I didn’t get to to rest after having fun with the kids” I said.
He sighed softly. “I know you cherish the kids, Allie but you should properly take care of yourself too, at least to have more energy for them” he said worriedly.
“Yeah, I know” I said, rubbing his slender fingers.
“Anyways, how are they?”
“Oh, they’re good, everyone’s doing a really great Job” I said and he nodded, “Here, I brought food for you” I said, I carried the bag up to the large table and took out a chocolate box from it, I opened the box and took out one of the egg-shaped chocolate, I lifted it to Jonas lips and he took it in. I took another and fed it to him. I sighed softly and lowered my gaze, a sullen feeling engulfing me.
“Allie?” Jonas called and it kind of snapped me as I stared at him.
“Yeah?” I asked, picking up another chocolate.
“It’s been hard for you, isn’t it?” He asked.
“What?” I asked, staring at him.
“Waiting for me. It has only been four years, there must’ve been temptations here and there and it must not have been easy scaling through” he said and I sighed softly.
He’s right!
“It’s fine, Jonas, trust me. I expected this when I made the decision to wait for you”
“Although?” He drawled.
“Yeah, although it gets a bit hard at some point because we, I suddenly start to miss you like crazy and want to see you so bad but I can’t but seriously; it’s nothing that I can’t handle” I assured.
“I’m sorry. You’re passing through all of that because of me-
“Because of love, Jonas,” I said and held his palm on the table. “Come on babe, don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine,” I assured, taking a different plate from the bag. “You should eat up before the food gets cold. I brought some eggs too. You don’t get much here, do you?” I asked, cracking an egg and taking off the shell.
Jonas shook his head negatively.
“Then you should eat a lot while you can,” I smiled. “Aah..” I said and he parted his lips, I pushed the egg into his mouth and pushed a plate of food to him. “Eat up before it gets cold” I said and he nodded, placing a kss at the back of my palm.

?Jonas POV ?
????8 years later????
.
I walked out of the prison gate and arrived outside to find a black car waiting outside, the window wind down and a not-so-familiar face stared back at me.
“Hey! Get in!” He said and my brows narrowed as I looked around, trying to figure whom he was talking to.
“Me?” I questioned.
“Of course. Get in, Jonas” he said and I looked around again, searching for Allison. “Allison sent me” he suddenly added and I gave him a skeptical look.
I contemplated then walked to the passenger side of the car and hopped in.
“Who are you and where is Allison?” I asked.
“We’re going to meet her,” he said, as if trying to dissuade my fear. “Seriously Jonas, you don’t remember me?” He asked, taking off his glasses and his voice..
“Anthony?” I called, unsure.
“Yeah?” He smiled.
“Seriously? You’re Anthony?! What the heck happened to you?” I asked.
“Surgery. It’s been years though” he said, smiling.
I nodded and looked out through the window.
“Are we going to the orphanage?” I asked when he took a turn.
“Seriously? You want to meet Allison looking like that?” He asked, giving me a surprised look. I brought my gaze down to my clothes. “I’m taking you to freshen up first then we meet Allison,” he smiled at me and I nodded, facing out of the window again..

I stepped out of the mall, looking very different from how I came; thanks to Anthony.
I went through a thorough wash and Anthony bought me very expensive clothes.
“Now, you’re good to go!” He enthused, giving my shoulder a light tap.
“Thanks. Can we go now?” I asked.
“Yeah..you can stop telling me how bad you want to get rid of me now” he chuckled and I smiled. “It’s good to see you again though, I don’t know if the feeling is mutual”
“It is; for real” I said.
He started the car and drove off. We arrived at the orphanage that Allison built at Lonatown and for the first time, I was able to see it physically. It was big, it’s pretty obvious she spent a lot on it.
I came down from the car and Anthony followed, we walked to the door and he urged me to open it and I did. I had barely closed it when loud pop-sounds rang from different corner of the large room and a big banner in front of me, reading; WELCOME HOME, JONAS! I looked ahead and sight Allison standing with some kids and women smiling happily at me.. they began singing a merry song that they obviously practiced for. Allison sang along for a while, seeing her, a wild smile crossed my lips and I swooped her from her feet the moment she reached me, hugging her like my life depended on me.
As she talked to one of the women, assisting in sharing the food, I couldn’t help but give her a proper look. she has changed a lot and in so many ways. She didn’t look so fragile like she had when we first me, it was pretty obvious life taught her its ways and I couldn’t be more glad that she had all those changes alone. Staring at her, I realised that I didn’t deserve, no matter how much I think about it, we were both in totally different classes and standard. How she loves me enough to wait for years baffles me but I was very glad at the same time. I looked around the room and it was just Allison, Anthony and I left and most of the food on the table were gone too.
“I’ll just have a bite since I need to get back to the office” Anthony said, taking only a piece of the chocolate cake.
“See you!” He pecked Allison’s cheek, gave my shoulder a light squeeze and walked out.
“Ahhh..” I opened my mouth and Allison pushed a piece of cake into it. She flashed me a smile, blush staining her cheeks.
“Thank you” I said.
“For what?” She asked.
“Everything. I wasn’t expecting a celebration for my coming” I said.
“There wasn’t really enough time for the preparation, I just thought of the idea so I made it brief before you’d arrive” she said.
“It’s the best party I’ve ever been to because I got to chance to stare at you all through it” I said and her blush deepened as she slapped my chest lightly.
I brushed strands of her hair off, staring at her full face.
“I’ve missed you so much, I don’t know what to say even though I have many things to say; I don’t even know how to start” she said, sniffing.
She lowered her gaze.
“Hey, you don’t have to talk,” I lifted her face and dabbed the tears resting on her tear duct.
“I like action better” I said, bent and fastened her lips on mine. She reciprocated at once and it got heated and intense..
It was going way too deep, so I pulled away a bit, recollecting where we were..
“Is it okay to do this here?” I asked in-between the hunger filled kss.
“Right now, I think I can do this anywhere!” She answered within breaths and I smiled I tilt my head, gaining more entrance to her. Not disrupting or breaking from the kiss, I moved to the door and locked it then let the moment lead…
Right there and then, I realised that standing for the truth was the biggest and best decision I’ve ever made.
