I Choose You by Kemi Adejumo (classic novels for teens txt) 📗

"You guys are definitely very Crazy. That was not funny,  don't mess with me again. " Christian shouted but was not as mad. 

"Now everybody get out,  I want to have a me time" He commanded and all of us turn to leave. 

"Except you jess"  he said making stop walking. Luke walked past me and whispered "I told you he is jealous, you better tell him". Molly tailed behind him and also whispered "I am so happy for you girl,  you better shoot your shot" she smiled while Jake just rolled his eyes and they all left. 

Oh my Goodness, I am getting flustered.  So that was what Luke was trying to do,  proof that Christian gets jealous of the idea of me being with someone. Does that mean he also likes me?  Should I just confess to him? Yes...yes I will,  it's now or never. 

I walked to him with my new found confidence and sat on his bed beside him. 

He smiled at me and looked at me with  so much  affection. Eeeeh my heart is bouncing with excitement.  What the heck is happening??  He held my hands and looked straight into my eyes. 

"Jess, I know I don't really tell you but you are the most important person in my life.  Apart from Mom,  no other girl surpasses you to me.  You know me more than I know myseld and I love you for that" I stared at him shocked while my heart is going wild. Is Christian confessing to me? 

"That is why I need you to be sincere with me and hopefully say yes" He continued.  Yes,  yes Christian yes please, my minding is screaming. 

"Do you think she is the one for me.  Evie, do you think her applying to this selection means that she likes me and hopefully wants me back? " And then it came crashing.  My heart... What did I think he was going to do?  Confess to me? Tsss.... Jess you are so dumb to think that.  I didn't even answer him,  I just stood up and ran out of his room.  I came out and caught Molly eavesdropping.  She tried to talk to me but I didn't let her.  I just ran and kept running to God knows where.  Immense pain is what I feel deep down in the deepest part of my soul. After I was tired of running,  I just cowered down. I cried so hard as I felt destiny laughing and mocking me. 

I am sorry but I had to do this to Jessica.  She doesn't deserve all the pain .
