chapter 35

Jared

"I will tell you the answer tomorrow."

****

The sentence that makes me so nervous. I don't know how to describe my feeling yesterday, I was so embarrassed? sad? happy?

I can't even describe it with any words. To be honest, I am mentally and physically ready to ask her to be my girlfriend yesterday. I waited for that event to actually ask her but my plan got ruined by her ex-husband, Elijah. I'm not mad but can't help feeling disappointed.

I wanted to date Alexa since I asked her for prom back there but I don't have any guts to tell. I was so shy and got no confidence to confess my feeling. I thought me and her will get into the same university and maybe I would tell her that time but it's not happening. I got a University in Columbia while Alexa got in New York. I am so heartbroken at that time. I tried to forget her but that's impossible. She was my first crush ever, that's why it's hard for me to forget about her.

After staying in Columbia for a few years, I finally got to transfer to Los Angeles. I never thought I will meet her in LA. I am so happy that we could talk again and hang out together just like we were in high school. After I know that she got divorced because of some stupid reason, I feel so mad at Elijah. I can't believe he made her cry and suffer alone while pregnant. All this time, I really want to take care of Alexa and want to give her the happiness that she missing. I want too but no chance. This time, if I get her, I will take care of her.

I am currently in the kitchen of my house and having breakfast. Being a doctor is not that easy but I try to manage it and so far, I survive. I finish my breakfast and let the house.

I am quite relieved that today not too busy just like yesterday. I am walking down the hall to meet one of my patients. "Good morning, sunshine. How are you feeling today?" I ask Jeremy the little kid that been in this hospital for two months now. He has leukemia and he's only 10 years old. I take care of him just like my little brother. I want him to get better and playing with other kids. I check his conditions and then, let him rest. I walk out of the room after the checkup finished.

Just then, my phone ringing. I take my phone out and see Alexa's name on the screen. I quickly answer it.

"Hello."

"Hey,".

"Why are you calling," I ask. Really Jared?

"I can't call you now? Well-"

"No, no you can call it just I actually want to ask you, you know not that question but I-"

"Okay, Jared. I understand why are you going to say. I'm fine. I actually want to ask if you free and maybe we can go out for lunch?" I smile.

"Sure. I will meet you during lunch then."

"Yup, see ya."

Lunchtime

When I parked my car, I walk inside the restaurant that Alexa texts me. My heart beating so fast right now and I know I will say something stupid again. I take a deep breath and walk to Alexa.

I sit and smile at her. Just then, the waiter comes to pick our order. I order mine and then Alexa did the same too.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry that I'm being super awkward right now. I know I suppose to act just normal but this is so, you know, nervous." She chuckles at me.

"It's fine, Jared, I, understand. So about your proposal yesterday, - "She stops when the waiter comes and serves us our food. We eat in silent at first.

Then I break it. "Do you want to continue what are going to say earlier?" I ask her.

"Oh yes."

"I think I'll accept your proposal."She said and I nodded my head. Then I look at the surprised after I realized what did she say.

"Are you for real?" I ask her and my voice comes out like a whisper.

"I am sure. hundred percent sure." She smiles at me and I feel like I want to jump in happiness but thinking that we're in the restaurant, I think I have to keep my excitement for later.

"Are you okay?" she asks.

"Yes, I am. I'm just too excited and happy right now." I take her hand and kiss it. "Thank you very much, Alexa. You made my day full of happiness today."

"Thanks to you too."

Alexa

Here it is, my new chapter of life begins now. With Jared as my boyfriend, I think this is just crazy. I can't believe JARED LANTON IS MY BOYFRIEND NOW.

"Do you think you can be happy with me right now?" He suddenly asks.

"Why you asked me that kind of question?"

"I mean like... I know this is quite fast for you. I don't want you to make a bad decision anymore. I-I just want you to be happy."

"Hey, Jared, listen here, I've been single for three years and I think that's enough of time for me to find someone who can actually give me the real happiness. I think you are the guy that suitable for me and can take care of me and my children." I said and he smiles at me. "We knew each other for 5 years and I don't think I make a mistake. Let's just... work this out together."

"I will and thank you for everything." He kisses me. "Let's go back to our office." I nod my head and we walk out of the restaurant. "I'll call you later, bae." We walk into separate ways after we bid our goodbye.
