Katherine was standing in front of Ric’s loft. She was practicing her speech and gathering her courage.
“Come on, Katherine” she told herself. “Just go in there and tell him wewe upendo him” She pushed the latch down and entered.
“Stefan?” she called.
“I’m in here” Stefan replied from out of the living room. Katherine walked further into the room. Stefan was standing against the closet. He was alone. “I didn’t expect you, but I’m glad you’re here”
“Really?” Katherine asked hopeful. She couched to restore herself. “There’s something I have to tell you”
“Funny, I have to tell wewe something too” Stefan said. “But wewe first”
Katherine swallowed and took Stefan’s hands in hers. “I upendo you, Stefan. I always have. I know I have had a lot of kitanda partners, but I have only loved you. I’m a liar and bitch, kahaba and I’m selfish and wewe can’t trust me, but if I’m ever honest, it’s now. I upendo you, Stefan, and I know somewhere deep down, wewe still upendo me. The Stefan I met and fell in upendo with, is still in there. I know wewe upendo me”
“Katherine” Stefan alisema soft. He had to bring this carefully, but then Rebekah came barging in from out of the kitchen. She ran to Katherine and waved her hand before her eyes. A small, diamond ring adorned her right ring finger.
“Have wewe heard?” Rebekah asked beaming. “Stefan proposed to me”
Katherine let go of Stefan and looked at him shocked. She walked backwards, her chest going up and down.
“Katherine” Stefan repeated, but Katherine shook her head and turned around. She opened the door and left.
