I must be falling in love
Last Updated:
2020-07-29 07:38:25Julie's heart stops beating for a second as Steven's voice echoes into her ear. She did not know what to think or what to do. Everything happens so fast. One minute Steven's mom and her parents are arguing, and the next Steven announces his affections for her. The most unfavorable part of the moment was that everyone was waiting for her to respond.
'How can I reply to such a huge confession if I have not even caught my breath over the fact that he uses the word "Love" and not "like" to express his feelings for me?' Julie thought to herself.
"Julie, are you all right?" Rose said. She could tell that her son's confession overwhelmed Julie.
Julie stood stiffly like a statue and held back her breath. She thought it might decrease how fast her heartbeat was accelerating. Plus, everyone's eyes focusing on her with concern and curiosity did not help the discomfort she was undergoing.

When Steven got home, he headed into his room and fell asleep in his bed. Steven did not wake up until the clock struck eight noon. He half-opens his eyelids, and the light in his room irritates his eyes, so he squeezes them closed.It took one minute for Steven's eyes to adjust to the brightness of the bulbs. Afterward, he slowly opened them, gazed around his room, and heartily smiled. With excitement, Steven reached out for his phone on the nightstand to check on Julie. He grabbed his device and rested his head against his pillow.His finger slid on his phone, and his smile faded away. Chloe's message was still revealing on his phone screen. "How was your day after we went our separate ways today?" The text said, and Steven seeing it again left him with an unsteady feeling like the first time he read it.Steven allowed the phone to slip from his grip and drop on the blanket as he got out of bed. With an unsettled mind,

Chloe pushed the cover from over her and sat up. She could not believe Steven's response."You do?" Chloe asked, still doubting and believing that she heard his words wrong. Her heart kept beating at an immense speed.Steven sat down on the edge of his bed and rubbed his face. He knew what he said and meant every word, but he was not thinking it in the way Chloe was."Yes, I still love you as a friend," Steven replied. He could hear her soft breathing from the other end of the line, and he felt relieved that she had quieted down.Upon hearing his response, an intense agony pierced into Chloe's soul. She covers her mouth with her hand and squeaks. Her eyes became watery.'Don't cry, Chloe! You can't break down now! It doesn't matter how much it hurts.' Chloe thought to herself. Yet, her heart felt like it got crushed by an enormous stone."But, is it possible

Julie didn't enjoy where their conversation was heading. She saw how Steven's facial expression changed after his remark and knew what he would say next was not something she would love to hear. Therefore, she decided that it was time for her to be open with him."Before you speak your mind, I want you to know that my heart is in pieces, and it has not entirely recovered from my experiences. It is a miracle that I could fall in love with you. Therefore, I need you to know that I am broken and have almost forgotten how to be in love. It may take a while for me to allow my heart to beat for you with no uncertainty. So if you don't think it's fair to you and don't wish to be in this relationship anymore. I will understand and won't blame you for leaving." Julie explained.Her past was something that had hunted her from her teenage days till now, and she did not want to start this new relationship without Steven knowing her mental state and how

"Ace! Before you leave, I want you to know that you are not the best I have ever had. Some better guy is out there waiting for my love, and that is not you!"Jennie frowned as the actress in the old movie she and Jackson were watching said goodbye to a man that broke her heart. Her husband kept eating his popcorn and gazing at the television. Jackson seems too invested in the movie, and Jennie did not like that he was.She picked up the remote from next to her, turned off the television, and raised her head from his lap."Babe! Why would you do that?!" Jackson frustratingly said.Jennie gave him an adorable smile and made a cute giggling sound."It's not funny, Jenn! You can't cut off the movie in the middle of the interesting part. Now, give me the remote!" Jackson uttered when he saw the playful expression on his wife's face."No!" Jennie repl

The next day, Steven's call woke up Jackson from his sleep. He answered the phone while staring at his wife. Jennie seemed to be fast asleep, but Jackson could not confirm that she was still sleeping since they slept with their backs facing each other.Jennie tries to make herself as stiff as possible. She did not want him knowing that she had a restless morning and had been awake the entire time he was asleep until now. Sleep was the least of her worries when Jennie realized that her lies were catching up to her little by little.Her guilt had been eating her up inside, and she did not know how to face him with everything that had happened last night. If only what transpired this morning was an awful dream, she would feel comfortable and lighthearted. But she knew it wasn't, and that scares her a lot."Jackson, I am sorry to contact you this early. I perceive your morning to be pleasant since Jennie and you seem to have

Silent and after three minutes, more silences follow. Jennie can undoubtedly answer Jackson's questions, yet she has not responded for over five minutes. There was no uncertainty in Jennie's heart that her husband loves her completely, but she could not say the same for herself since she was the one who broke her vow.Jennie felt sad that Jackson did not believe he made her happy since the only man that could make her content was him. However, that was not the only thing that troubled her. The fact that he feels that they are losing each other stabbed her heart because that was the last issue she never wanted to take place in their marriage."I still love you!" Jennie replied.She was unsure if this response would change anything, but that was all she had.Jennie's eyes widened in surprise as Jackson pulled her into his arms and squeezed her firmly. They stay that way for a while without both o

As Jackson was about to get into his vehicle, he spotted Julie coming out of her house dressed for work."Julie! Over here!" Jackson shouts out to her.He waved his hand continuously as he tried to get her attention.Julie could hear his scream, and she looked in his direction to see who was calling. Her eyes rested on his smiling face, and Julie smiles back as she walks towards him."Good morning, sister-in-law!" Jackson playfully greeted her when Julie reached him.She gazed at Jackson, and he had this hilarious expression on his face when he opened the car door for her. She pouted and poked him in the stomach with her elbow before entering the car."AHH! What is that for, Jul? Is that how you are going to treat your only brother-in-law?" He continued teasing her.Julie did not reply. Instead, she giggled at his silliness. She could not

"Click!" The key inside the door lock turned."What are you doing?" She confusedly asked as she watched Steven unlock the door.When Steven turned the knob and pulled the door, it creaked open. He did not reply to her request or previous questions as he walked out of Julie's office. There were so many mixed emotions going on inside his head, and Steven did not want to say something that would hurt her more or make them argue."Bang!" The door slammed shut, and Julie was left standing alone with various thoughts running through her mind."I should have known this would not have ended well," Julie said as she tried to keep her balance.However, Julie was unsuccessful in keeping it together. She missed her steps, fell back a little, and landed on her desk.'I mean, he's in his thirties, and I am asking him to keep us a secret like we are still in high school.'&n

Jackson walked into the dining room, fully dressed in a suit, and Rose and Miya gazed away from their food and awkwardly stared at him. “Dada!” Milo shouted, jumping in his seat. Then Mila and Milu followed his lead and started yelling, “dada.” Those words brought a smile onto Jackson's lips even though he had heard it countless times for the past few months. Beaming with joy, he walked over to his kids' seats and took Milo, Mila and Milu out of their chairs one after the other, playing with them for a moment before putting them back into their seats. “Where are you going in a suit?” Rose asked, setting her fork down on the table. “Today is Miya's final trial date, and I'm driving her to the courthouse?” Jackson said, adoringly staring at Miya. Taking her focus off her son, Rose gazed at Milo, Mila, and Milu and said, “Can you guys say ‘Nana?” “Mom, you've been trying to make them say ‘nana’ for six months now. Th

“Mom, bride, where we at?” The wedding planner said, walking further into the room.Mrs. Harper pulled up her daughter's gown zipper and smiled.“We are ready.” She mumbled, gently rubbing Julie’s arms as tears ran down her cheeks.“Awesome, bride, please come with me. Your father is waiting for you at the church door.”The wedding planner said.A look of hesitation crossed Julie’s face. Then she turned around and tightly hugged her mother.“I love you so much,” Julie said, sobbing softly.“I love you too, sweetheart.” Mrs. Harper mumbled, gently patting her back.Now that the bridesmaids were in the church hall, everyone was impatiently waiting for the bride, except Jackson.He was too focused on staring at Miya to care for the stuff going on around him.“Everyone please stand!

“Groomsmen, Groom, you guys got to be out of here in the next twenty minutes and be in the church.” The wedding planner said as he walked into the room.Jackson stopped buttoning his shirt, gazed at him, and said, “Oh is the bridal party ready?”“No. I got words from the ladies' planner, and she said that the bridesmaids and the bride will be ready and in the church within the next one hour.”“Oh! Okay. We will be out in ten.”After the wedding planner left, Jackson turned to gaze at Steven, and a frown settled on his face.“Steve, breathe,” Jackson mumbled, walking over to his friend.“I'm getting married today,” Steven whispered, holding in his breath.“I know. But you have to exhale to release the tension building up inside of you.”“There's so much ‘what if’ questions going on in my head. Like what if Juli

“Hey, mom. I'm heading out to meet with Steven.” Jackson said, walking into the living room. Rose took her eyes off Mila for a second, gazed at her son, and said, “Okay.” Then she focused back on her granddaughter. A look of disbelief crossed Jackson's face. Then he stared at Miya and whispered, “It's like I am invisible to her. Is it legal for a mother to replace her son with her grandkids?” “I think I have lost my rights as their mother,” Miya mumbled, chuckling softly. Rose rolled her eyes at both of them, and said, “Haha, fun… my grandbabies needs their nana.” “How long do you plan to stay here?” Jackson mumbled, struggling not to laugh. “Until they are old enough to call me Nana.” “Well. That's some plan. Anyways, I got to go. Steven is planning to invoke my right as his best man if I don't show up.” In a rush, Jackson kissed the babies on their foreheads and turned to stare at Miya, striving to say the words

Well they are babies now but they won't stay like that forever. And they love you even though they can't say it.” Jackson mumbled, taking his eyes off her and focusing on the ocean.“Oh,”“I know how much my mother means to me, and the love I have for her is endless. I think they feel the same way even though they can't speak now.”“How would you know that?”

When she heard footsteps approaching the living room, Rose lifted her head and her gaze rested on her son and Miya. “Mom, we are going out. I just hired a nanny to come over, but can you stay with the kids for a few hours until we get back? Also, there will be a few other people coming over, would you please supervise them as they carry out their task?” Jackson said. “Sure, you two run about your business, and I will be right here with these adorable cuties,” Rose mumbled with a smile as Milu’s tiny hand grabbed onto her finger. His lips curved into a smile as Jackson watched his mother's face glowed with joy. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thanks, mom.” “You don't have to thank me. These are my grandbabies, and I would do anything for them.” Rose said. The corner of Jackson's mouth raised as he watched the bright smile on Miya's pinkish lips.

After Jennie entered Jackson's room, he followed her in and shut the door behind him.“You and her?” Jennie mumbled while sadly staring Jackson in his eyes.It took a moment of hesitation for Jackson to stiffly smiled and said, “We are just co-parenting.”It grew silent between them. Then Jennie walked over to the bed, sat down on the mattress, and mumbled, “You are a dad. That was something you always wanted, and it hurt so bad that I am not the one who made you a father.”“Believe me, that's exactly how I felt when I walked into that room and saw you with your son. It hurt, it hurt so bad that I felt like I couldn't breathe, like the air I was inhaling was suffocating me.” Jackson calmly intoned.As her hand gently caressed the sheet, Jennie ushered her eyes closed and took in a deep breath. Then she stared at Jackson and said, “But you don't feel that way now.”“What?
