Kate's prov.
It's been three months.....I've dating Jake.....it still looks like yesterday though.....but i have to admit. What we have now us way more intense and bigger than earlier.
I've told everyone about him....even my dad, he refused to accept him and reacted same like when he met my sister's boyfriend. Angel and krish are very supportive about this, they think I'm falling for him. Well....maybe but then I'm not sure for jumping on the conclusions...this is the first time I'm feeling this way...so figuring out is not easy.
Jake sometimes say's "You know that i like you...like, like you alot like." Sometimes he also says that "i couldn't imagine it without you babe. Not even a minute." Which makes me blush.....
He has been a perfect boyfriend i could have ever imagined, but that doesn't quite gives me the clear feeling of whether i love him or not.....back in my Mind I've always wanted him to say ' love you ' when he hangs up rather than ' miss you'.
I got pulled out of my thoughts....when my phone rings.
"Hello"
"Babe...you ready?" I don't even have to answer because from what i know he's already standing out of my bedroom door.
I've now known him too well...to figure out what he's upto.
"Kate..?" He calls my attention back on the phone.
"Actually. I can't make it today, i got chickenpox"
The door went flying open in liss than a second revealing my boyfriend Jake looking worried as hell....i started laughing but he just stands there with his eyes roaming at me....
He then glared at me....i just smile there knowing he's going to kill me for pulling out this joke, he came towards me and pushes me hard.....i fell on the bed with a thud.
"What the hell?" I manage to say while getting up from my bed.
"I did it because I find it funny .....what happened Kate, did you not enjoy it?" He was angry but mocking me at the same time....
Well....he did shut me up with that now.
" yeah...i got it....no jokes regarding me getting hurt or in trouble." I surrendered my hands in the air and continue "My bad! But now can we just go already and have dinner."
He then hugged me.
"Yeah...but don't do that ever again. I wish everything bad that's coming in your way should just come to me instead."
He let's go and we both smiled at each other....just staring for a moment. Before we heard someone yell from downstairs. We both ran downstairs to know what's going on...
My dad is yelling on the phone to someone" Are you mad you idiot, don't you get it, I have a family to look after. Can't leave it all and get a transfer."
I stood there.....the world seems to stop. My dad usually have business trips but never in my life I've heard him talk about transferring to another place,but if this really happening than....what about Jake.
I shook my head as it's just something that's probably not gonna happen...we're not going anywhere.
"What is it mommy?" I asked her in confusion.
"I don't exactly know sweetheart, but whatever it is...it's bothering your father from days. Just stay here he needs us rite now. I've already called Angel. She'll be here any minute."
After few minutes dad's still on the phone but not yelling, Angel comes rushing through the door, I've told Jake to stay as i want him here. We all wait for dad to finish his phone call and inform us what's going on.
He is on the phone for like an hour now....then he turns towards us, and then shuts his eyes close saying "yes...! We will be moving soon as possible."
__________________________________
Freeze. That was the word. Everything just stopped. My whole world Just stopped right there, hearing those words make my stomach churns.
No. As soon as i heard those words my reaction was No.
"Listen." Dad walked towards the living room, making everyone look at him, he continues..
"I've to move. I cannot live here in Hamptons. At least even if i want to, I'll still have to be away for like three years. Singapore, i will have to move there."
He takes a deep breath then continues
"Our company has been going through some crisis which can only be handled if we make good business in Singapore. I've always wanted to live here and sure I'll be back as soon as the business is stable but going there is a compulsory. I've never forced anyone of you to do something you don't want to....and that's why i said that I'm moving. I won't force you guys to come with me, although i need you support but only until you guys are happy. Just know that i love you all....um Jake, not you but you get the point right. Just take your time, all of you and tell me tomorrow about your decision. Especially You and Kate, honey." He says pointing towards me and mom.
Without even a second thought mum replied "I'm coming with you. Even if you are going to a jungle. You don't even consider asking me. If you're going I'm coming and Kate too. I know her decision already."
I looked at Jake who's having so much emotions on his face...he's eyes are begging me to say No.
"What about my studies?" I asked without even thinking.
Dad looked at Jake before replying"I've got it covered Kate. I know...it's not studies that's confusing you, but if you want to hear what is that i want....then,
I want my baby girl at this time. Please Kate come with us, even if you stayed here, I'll be worried about you. I know it's kind of selfish but i just lost a daughter to a guy. Don't you leave me now for a guy you met for like 3 months ago. You may love him but I've loved you since you were born, i Just can't imagine leaving you here. You know you can't stand not seeing me every morning for three whole years. Right?" He chuckled but stopped.
"But you still have time, think what you want and tell me about it tomorrow." He said and left.
Mom followed him, Angel came and kissed me good night. Also she whispered "Do right by all Kate. I know you will. Love you" into my ear and then left.
Now we are standing alone by ourselves...not knowing whether to start a conversation or not. I looked at him with all the strength i could muster up and found him staring at me with tears in his eyes.
I'm mirroring His expressions....i know we both are close to falling apart. I moved towards him and drags him in my room with me.
I shut the door from inside and hugged him by all the strength I've got.....clinging into him so tight, scared that this might be the last time I'm having him besides me. He holds me the same way....no space for air between us.
"I can't live without you" he sends shivers down my back by saying those words.
"Jake"
"Sh!.....don't say anything. Please just don't." He cuts me before i can even say anything and his grip becoming more strong if possible.
We stayed there in that position. I don't know for how long, but seems like hours......then i slowly loosen up and so does he.
We stared at each other then he says "i wish we could go back to tomorrow when there was nothing.." he stops....he starts swelling up his eyes from tears rolling down his eyes continuously.....probably i look same as he does right now.
He sits on the edge of my bed and pats me to take a seat too. I do as he wants, we both remain silent.
Jake looks at me sincerely making me look at him by pulling my face between his palms.
"YOU....DON'T YOU DARE. OKAY. DON'T YOU DARE FORGET ME MISS KATE ERIC, IF YOU EVEN TRY FORGETTING ME...JUST REMEMBER I'M GOING TO SHOW UP THERE...NOT THAT I CAN'T AFFORD TRAVELING THERE AND YOU KNOW IT, YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT....THIS Jake guy has been in love with you since the day he saw you and you don't just go to a new place and dare forget about him, because you are his world and no matter what the distance is, he promises to love you and never ever in a million years forget or cheat on you...he love you and only you. You don't have to love back or feel guilty because I'm willing to wait for you...not just three years but my whole life. I love you Kate. I just Love You....simple and plain...it's just me loving you and you don't have to say anything back...give me another reason for loving you more. Just smile, all it takes for me to fall in love with you."
I listened to every word and me heart swelled up with so much emotions, all rushing inside me....i just hug him like my life's dependent on him....well it kind of is. He loves me....i can see it in his eyes....we both just....i can't explain it but...
"WE ARE MADE AND MAD FOR EACH OTHER."
this time he's the one who pulls back....he looked at me smiling..
He brushed the strands of my hair which was covering my face...he looks at my eyes....my nose...my lips. That's when my heartbeat increases. I've never had any of my firsts. Not even a kiss before.
He closes his eyes shut....and shook his head. I try to figure out, what's with him....he moves his hands through his hair....bites hus lower lip...and tap his leg.
He's nervous.
Whenever he does that i just know he's nervous. With that tears made it's way again that how well we know each other yet...i have to leave.
"Why didn't you stop me from leaving?" I asked him my voice lower than a whisper.
"Because, I've seen you dad loving you.....Kate he loves you. Probably more than anyone can ever love you. The moment you said that thing about studies, I saw his expression changed into hurt. I love you and I'm sure that anyone who falls in love with you....just can't live without you. Not me. Not him. I wanted to be selfish...but then, i know your decision would be leaving too....and i can't help but love you more for that. You love him...that's why, you will give up everything for him. I want that love from you Kate. When I'll get it....i know you wont be leaving then."
At that moment i was crystal clear....that..

I LOVE HIM........
