Jessie
555Please respect copyright.PENANAFn6PkNmcqx
To say I was confused, anxious, nervous and even a little taken aback was an understatement.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA3dZPWM3Qab
I was hysterical. And not in a good way. I was pacing back and forth my room all night. Thinking.
555Please respect copyright.PENANABJemR2K59d
I still can't believe Nathan Evans, aka my childhood friend, asked me out. And not just for one date, or two dates, or three or four... But he asked me to be his girlfriend.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAAoVzp3CAgm
I had many emotions, which I didn't know which one to express. Sometimes I cried because I thought it's totally unbelievable. Sometimes I blushed and smiled to myself while reading Jane Eyre.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAikIByPLSCp
I couldn't help but compare Nathan to Mr. Rochester, and I couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to have a guy like Nathan as my boyfriend.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAC10sfL38F9
My very first, and real (not imaginary) boyfriend. Nathan is a guy any girl would want to be with.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAjEJjOmdGyS
He's kind hearted, smart, hardworking, truthful, courageous, ambitious, compassionate, considerate, frank and empathetic. Anddd he's handsome.
555Please respect copyright.PENANApgvumpdsUH
He has a little bit of problem when it comes to showing his feelings and romance, but it's alright I'll teach him gradually.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ne8ewuDn
I mean people don't just go and tell their crushes or the love of their life they love her right? They should give hints you know, or at least give a warning like; hey! I'm going to tell you something, you might faint from surprise. So, be warned.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAidMPZOrr3k
I smile to myself, and put my hands on my flushing face, it's definitely hot from the thought of having a romantic dinner with Nathan. Or maybe holding hands on the beach, going to watch The Notebook together while I rest my head on his shoulder, as he puts his arms around me in a protective manner and telling me how much he loves me.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAJAaKijHGSg
Oh and I'll read him a romantic book, and show him how great love and romance is, I never thought Nathan would be able to love anyone. He almost always said he doesn't believe in love, and that love is nothing but just a mere illusion.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAfZAzlIMVSr
I admit I was quite surprised to find out that Nathan was not only able to fall in love, but the person he has fallen for was me.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAMsnfRglVMV
I was mad at myself, for liking to date Nathan, but well... I can't help it.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAnbXphrwWqR
Oh god! Why am I thinking of being with him this much? When I haven't agreed to it yet, and when I haven't told Rachel about it yet.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAwAj2P6q6v2
Yep, I'm planning on telling my best friend, if you're wondering. More like... asking Rachel for permission to date her brother. It's only wise to tell her, right?
555Please respect copyright.PENANAJKbyWTMzBw
Speaking of Rachel there she is, walking to where I'm sitting, with a huge smile on her face.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA7EuPXJUzOS
Oh lord! I'm already regretting the decision of telling her.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAc1FjV0A4QL
I swallow the lump in my throat and remind myself: that this is the right thing to do. To tell Rachel that her brother has asked me out, is definitely the right thing to do.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAgJdZLoy1fA
"Hey, girl!" Rachel greets me enthusiastically, and sits down opposite of me very quickly. She raises her arm and waves at the waiter who nods at Rachel and comes our way.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAjSVF70q6Z4
"Hey" I mumble and swallow the lump in my throat, I really wish this doesn't ruin our friendship.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAryHwpquwHB
"God I'm starving!" Rachel exclaims, as the waiter approaches us and takes our order.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA6NQwFMbtkP
"So? What's this urgent thing you want to talk about with me?" Rachel asks, as the waiter walks away.
555Please respect copyright.PENANATghB0vG8aT
"Umm..." I try but no words come out, I didn't realize I'm this nervous until now.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA2AsxOLHirY
But I have to say it. In order to not have any misunderstandings, in order to let Rachel know about her brother's feeling.
555Please respect copyright.PENANATbjjclLspP
And in order to have Nathan as my boyfriend, without having any problems. My subconscious adds.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAxQbbmZowL3
I ignore her and take a deep breathe. It's either now or never.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA6CXlK5rw5X
"I... It's ...umm..." I try again, but it seems like I don't know how to put the words in their right order.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAYTOmIuRTsU
"Jessie, you don't make sense you know, speak please, we don't have all day." Rachel says, digging into the plate of tortellini in front of her impatiently, as soon as the waiter brings our food.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAzMwZK3tPjq
"Umm... I have something to tell you..." I finally say.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAUZlgAeb7NU
"Oh for the sweet lord's sake." Rachel says, rolling her eyes, "of course you have something to tell me, what are we here for then? Spill smart arse!"
555Please respect copyright.PENANAp33nBZbYaP
"It's about Nathan" I blurt out and stare at my best friend's face for any reaction.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAotzjcsd0iS
"What about him?" Rachel asks before she brings a spoon of mushroom soup to her mouth.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAiKFVvUOdZI
"Umm... He asked me to be his girlfriend" I mumble and bit my lower lip from embarrassment.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZAHA7jY6X
Rachel chokes on the soup she was about to drink, she was coughing for two or three minutes, tears were streaming down her face, and her face was red as a tomato, making me feel worried to death.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAyij7yuVLPJ
When she finally came back to herself, and was able to breathe again. She frowned and stopped eating any food in front of her.
555Please respect copyright.PENANATc69NInsRj
"What?" She asked.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAGlYKLjPdbD
"He asked me-" I started.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAsSp67GHjTW
"I know Jessie, he asked you to his girlfriend. I heard you. But... what I mean is really?" She said, her lips twitching a little. I couldn't figure out If she wanted to smile or cry.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAVpgVZ2rzM3
"Yeah really." I mumbled. Without looking at her.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAO691mShvJo
"And what... did you tell him?" She asked. Her face blank from any emotion or expression.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vb6UeYSPU
"I told him I'll think about it" I admitted.
555Please respect copyright.PENANA1CtZJfAcfB
"Let me guess... You're here to ask for my permission?" She asked, her voice calm. But her face looking furious.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAtNYfaWNxpw
"Uh-huh" I reply.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAECHws89pZY
"It's your personal life Jessie. It's up to you, you know" My best friend says, a small smile playing on her lips. "As for Nathan... looks like he has already made his decision. Because he doesn't umm... say anything he doesn't mean"
555Please respect copyright.PENANA7qmH9ms0iQ
"Thanks" I mumble and smile at my friend.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAKWJN2hyKam
"For what?" She asks, wiping her mouth with a napkin.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAht3VhGXJXX
"For staying my friend" I flush as I realized what I just said, but well it's the truth.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAc4h7BZkWwD
"Don't be ridiculous, girl" Rachel says as she beams at me, "I always got your back"
555Please respect copyright.PENANARTojcNCq2V
I sigh from relief. And decide not to worry about anything else.
555Please respect copyright.PENANABf9MoDr8Uo
Except, I'll go home make a list of the pros and cons of being with Nathan. And make my decision about him.
555Please respect copyright.PENANAOouXzymtyq
I don't want the poor guy to wait any longer. And besides its the New Year's Eve today, hopefully I can give him a good news.
