Chapter 35

Chapter 35
"Hey, Babe. Wait up." Jiro told me as I was about to walk away from him. "Don't walk away from me." He added. And then he hugged me around the waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Babe." He laughed, which made me even more embarrassed. "It's Jiro!" She was angry with him.
"Sorry, Babe. You're just really cute when you're shy." I gave him a hard time and gently pinched his side, which he returned by kissing my cheek. I am just sixteen and he told me that when I turn eighteen he will kiss me on the lips.
"Stop me." I told him, I pretended to be annoyed but the truth was I was thrilled. Lol! This is one reason why I love Jiro so much. He never runs out of ways to thrill me. Every day my new operation.
Minutes turned to hours. Hours turn to days. Days turned to months that I didn't realize one day Jiro's parents bought the house next to ours.
"Babe, we can't be together every day.. it's twenty-four seven." I immediately smiled and kissed him on his cheeks. I also found out that he requested his parents to buy this house as his birthday gift and the purpose is so that we won't be separated for too long and if we are separated it's just because of sleeping.
Until one day, our first anniversary came. I thought that Jiro had already forgotten, so I couldn't see him all day observed until night came and-
"Babe, do I really need to keep my eyes closed? I might step on something or I might trip." I told him as we walked somewhere.
"That's why I'm supporting you Babe, right? Don't worry if you fall, I am always here to catch you." The annoyance I felt towards him earlier because I thought he had forgotten our anniversary all of a sudden and was replaced by butterflies in my stomach and horse racing in my heart.
He's the one. Forever does really exist, especially when I'm with Jiro. He's the living proof of Prince Charming and true love does really exist. I am deeply madly in love with him. I can't even see myself in the near future dating another boy. I am sure that he is the only man I am capable of loving.
Jiro slowly removed the blindfold from my eyes and first its blur until my vision gradually cleared. The first thing you see is the decorations Jiro's whole garden, just like a bandiritas made of white and red roses, there are tulips designed as if they were Santa Cruzan.
My scattered rose petals of different colors on the Bermuda grass. There is also a table for two in fine dining style with those two long handles in the middle and a bouquet of tulips sitting on one of the two chairs.
Those hanging lanterns are hanging in some corner of their garden that serves as light Very thing is so perfectly perfect!
"It's so romantic. Thank you so much, Jiro Babe. I thought you had already forgotten." I was angry when I told him and then I hugged him tightly and gave him a kiss on both of his cheeks.
"Anything for you, Babe." That night is so perfect and worth remembering forever. Do you know where Jiro got his idea of flowers, petals and lanterns?
He also read the romance novel I was reading and copied it he has all the details according to the Author's description. Isn't that sweet?
Jiro turns eighteen today and we are here at their house with my Mom and Dad having dinner with Jiro's Mommy and Daddy when Jiro's Daddy suddenly spoke.
He called my parents name and also mine and said that it's not only Jiro's birthday, it's also a welcome party for the return of Jiro's younger brother.
Kent, he is four years younger than Jiro and I am two years older two years to him. He's going to enroll in the same school where Jiro and I studied.
Of course, I'm excited. Kent is so cute especially when he just has a poker face. He also doesn't like to talk even if what I say to him doesn't make sense, he still doesn't care. And I am so sure that he will also be the heartthrob of Saint Catherine, because he is also handsome like Jiro.
"Babe, I know I am doing it the wrong way, but I don't know anymore how to please you. You're really mad at me." He said to me sadly. I didn't speak. What should I say? I don't know either.
I haven't even recovered from Kent and Aria's kiss and then he proposed to me. Who wouldn't be speechless, right? Fortunately, Jiro and I both turned our attention to the person who opened the shotgun seat door of his mustang where I was sitting.
It's Kent! His facial expression is back to poker face just like that first time I met him. Neither of us spoke until Aria peeked out from behind him. Annoyance immediately rose in my chest when I saw him. I really want to tease and spank her, how dare her kiss my Kent?!
"The oldies and the girls are waiting for us now, there. Come on guys." He said and that's how pissed off I was when he took one of Kent's hands and without saying a word held his hands in his hand.
I looked at Jiro, he's not looking and Aria was only focused on me. Great! What a great pretender! For sure, if Kent wasn't his brother and if I wasn't here, maybe he would have scolded Kent earlier, but it would have been someone else. Of course he's hooking up with Aria, right?!
"Let's go, Babe." After a while Jiro asked me out. I am too drained on everything that's happening right now. I don't have the strength to leave anymore. Until he finally dragged me to the ancestral house of the Grandparents I!
"Mom." I called Mommy when we finally entered the lobby of the dining room where they were all waiting. Mommy stood up and hugged me.
"What took you so long, daughter?" he asked me after kissing my forehead.
"I-" I am cut off my Jiro. Here he goes again, will lie again!

"She fell asleep Aunt, that's why. I don't want to wake her up so I waited for her to wake up." Mommy nodded and when Jiro looked at me with a smile, he was struck I looked at him and then I blinked. Crazy!
They immediately invited us to dinner and of course Mommy and Daddy as well as Jiro's parents were talking about pure business. It's like they are planning to share stocks in each other's company. I even smirked when they suddenly opened the topic.
"I really can't wait for us to be a whole family." Jiro's mommy said. Just in my mind, which of his children will be able to stay with Aria? Because now I am so sure Jiro is not the one I can stay with.
He's a liar and a cheater, when we stay together, my hair will turn white immediately in submission to him. I don't even trust him anymore.
"Me too, Balae. I can't wait for Kylie to turn twenty-five and she can marry Jiro." Daddy added and because of that I was upset. All their attention turned to me.
"Are you okay daughter?" Mommy then asked me if I could drink the water she gave me. I nodded and tried to smile.
Until Jiro suddenly stood up and approached me. I frowned at him, what else can this man do?!
"Have I?" He asked me and he even offered his dirty hand on my face! He's asking me to dance?! I tormented him while our parents repeatedly scolded us that it was sweet and so on. I just get more and more irritated.
My two men entered the dining room and they were both my holding violins.
"Babe.." Jiro told me. He still offered me his hand and the violinists started playing. It Might Be You is the piece they are playing.
I didn't react and just stared at him. Him calling me babe is like a signal, that I should accept his hand and we should dance but I don't want to.
"I don't want to dance." I answered him and then I avoided looking at him. The violinist stopped playing and they also fell silent Mommy for taking care of us.
"Kylie." Jiro called me again. I sigh.
"Sorry. I.. I just feel so tired. It's taking too long for our viniahe." I gave him a lifeless answer and then I stood up. "Please excuse me." I didn't wait for their answers. I kept walking out until I reached my usual room.
I didn't go to bed right away, I went straight to the balcony and stared at the sky. All I can see is darkness and the shining stars. Until-
"You should accept Jiro's proposal."
