CHAPTER 31 “SO IN LOVE”

AS JASON gazed at the gentle and beautiful face that is now sound asleep beside him, he could not help but feel a strange touch of happiness in his heart.

He loved Jenny so much.

More than anyone, more than Ara who he really planned to date the first time he saw her.

But with Jenny, something else happened to him. She did something else in his heart and all that, he could not explain. All he knew was that he loved her and no one could surpass the young lady in his heart.

At that point, his hand moved and then gently caressed her cheek. Then, unsatisfied, he bent down and kissed her on the head and then sniffed her fragrant hair.

"I love you so much," he whispered before kissing his girlfriend again but this time it is on her forehead.

Just a few moments and he decided to get up. But before that, he first pulled his blanket and then covered it with Jenny's body.

He smiled then looked at Jenny lovingly. He knew earlier that she wanted to ask him for more, but she was reluctant because of her shy nature. And he couldn't do that either because it was her first time. His girlfriend is sure to have a hard time just in case and he doesn’t want that to happen.

In the tall antique cabinet inside his bedroom, he took a change of clothes. But his eyebrows quickly met as he pulled out the t-shirt and suddenly a folded paper came with it. He ignored it at first and so the paper fell to the floor near his desk where his study materials were.

When he got dressed, he then picked it up thinking it was an electric bill but he was suddenly surprised when he read what was written there.

He remembers that he wrote for Ara even before he became Daniel's close friend. But because of his reluctance, he did not give it and eventually forgot that he had put it in his cabinet.

He was in such a state when Jenny suddenly moved on his bed. He was immediately alarmed and in confusion, he quickly folded the letter and then pinned it to one of the books he had on his desk.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his girlfriend is still sound asleep. He picked up the clothes that were scattered on the floor one by one and then laid them on the back of the chair on his desk. He then approached Jenny and arranged her blanket and left the room.

*****

JENNY felt the pain in her lower body when she woke up. When she looked out the window when it is already dark, that is when she immediately get up to get dressed.

"You're awake," Jason said busy preparing the kitchen table.

"Why didn't you wake me up? It's late, my mother might be worried about me," she said sitting on the chair then looked up at her boyfriend.

Then, smiling, Jason sat down in the chair next to hers and then carefully turned her towards him.

"Let me explain to her later and apologize. And besides, it's only six PM, it's not really that late, it's just dark," he said holding her hand then gently squeezed it.

Jenny sighed then nodded. "I had a good sleep because ---," then the rest of what she wanted to say cut off along with the intense redness on her face.

At that moment her eyes immediately flew to Jason who she knew was staring at her. But she did not expect the strange message of mischief in his eyes and even in his smile which caused her to blush even more.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked in a complaining tone.

Jason brought his face close to hers then pressed a kiss to her lips. Jenny was immediately caught in that kiss so she couldn't help but respond. That's why they were both gasping for breath when she herself let go of her boyfriend's possessive mouth.

"You were different a while ago, even though you're still shy," Jason whispered as his gaze traverse her face.

Jenny smiled but bowed her head. "T-Thank you, I'm shy because it's my first time," she explained meeting the young man's gaze again afterward.

"What if I ask you for another one right now? Will the discomfort you feel every time we do that pass off?" Jason asked almost in a whisper.

Jenny let out a deep sigh at that question. "Y-You mean there's more to come?" she asked.

Jason laughed softly before he opened his mouth to speak. "I won't force you if you don't want to, but I also can't promise you that I won't find a way to make you subdue and repeat what we did this afternoon," the young man confessed to her. "Jenny," he continued then raised his hand and kissed it. "I love you so much, and I just want you to be mine, is that okay? You're just mine?"

Romantic excitement caressed Jenny's heart at the young man's question. Then with a smile she grabbed him by the nape and pulled him to kiss him again.

"I love you very much too, and yes, that is possible because that's also what I want," she replied.

It was then that Jason tenderly pinched her cheek and then hugged her tightly.

"It's only a matter of time, after you graduate I'll marry you. Maybe by that time, I'll be rich, I'll be rich so that I can give you the best. I want to have a part in the fulfillment of each of your dreams. Because I love you so much. I will help you reach all that. But I hope we can handle every trial we may face. If we have a misunderstanding or I hurt you, always think that I love you so much and I did not mean to do all that."

Jenny smiled at all those declarations from the man she loved the most. It feels so good that the person she had only dreamed of then, is here and he is hugging her now.

"Of course, I can't get tired of understanding you, because I love you so much. And yes, I hope we can handle every trial because I don't see myself getting older and you're not with me, I love you so much. I'll give you anything, just don't leave me alone and don't break my heart. Do you know that? Third-party? Do you know that even now that we are officially dating there are a lot of girls at school who say that we will also end up saying goodbye to each other because you are a womanizer and you don't take a woman seriously?"

Jason just laughed softly there.

"That was then when you weren't my girlfriend. Didn't you see how jealous I was when your classmate started approaching you? I was really scared back then, to be honest, but I don't want to believe how I feel and also what Daniel and Ara are saying that I'm in love with you and I'm jealous. If you didn't go with Leo and have lunch with him, and if Ara hasn't told me that Leo asked for your cell phone number, I will not have the strength and courage to admit everything to you," was Jason's long explanation.

Ara just stared at her boyfriend after everything he said. After that, she hugged him tightly again which Jason reciprocated with a tighter hug.
