“Mike knows?” Hannah asked me after I told her the whole story about me leaving and why.“No. I think. I don't care.” I said too quickly.“Jessica, please. You can't lie.” Hannah rolled her eyes and I sighed.“Why didn't you tell him? He has a right to know…” George said wanting to be part of our conversation.“Right to know?” Hannah looked at George angrily and he backed off.“Sorry. I just…” George started explaining but I interrupted him.“It's fine George. He will know when I won't be on Latin class next week.” I said quietly.“Do you miss him?” Hannah asked calmly. I sighed deeply and I stayed quiet for a while.“No. I don't miss him, I miss how he made me feel sometimes…” I said quietly…“Yea, when he didn’t lie.” Hannah rolled her eyes. I nodded and looked the other way.“What about that other guy, umm, John?” George asked.“I didn't heard from him since he left me her
“Mike, what the hell are you doing?!” I asked him slowly, yet firmly.“I am just making sure you will stay mine.” Mike smiled huskily. I looked at him slightly nervously, not knowing how to react or where to look! Everyone at the Oliver's Lounge looked at us, smiled, some of them whispered something, we were in the centre of attention!He took me by my hand and made me stood up. I was breathing heavily, my heart was beating very loudly and trippingly, I even think my hand was sweaty!“Jessica. Firstly, calm down.” Mike said calmly. I took a big breath, closed my eyes and, blew the whole air out of my lungs, and opened my eyes again. When I opened them, I saw Mike's smile. I smiled too, feeling a little bit relaxed then I was. “Secondly, I am not proposing you.” Mike added, winking. “Yet.” He smiled huskily, and that made me blushed!He gave me a small box, and when I took it, I pressed it tightly. I was eager to find out what is in there
“Why won't you tell me what the surprise is about?” I begged Mike to tell me something about my surprise, but he kept quiet about it when we were driving to my apartment. “Chill, you will see!” Mike said, smiling. I was getting more and more nervous every second, not knowing what should I expect in a few minutes.“Fine!” I said angrily. Mike smiled lightly, and then touched my leg gently. I looked at him but he was looking the road, acting like his move was simply casual. The thing is, I don't know how to act now. Yesterday, we had a best time, we woke up together, we ate together, he's holding my leg while he's driving… Where do this all go? Are we together again? How can I ask him and not ruin this moments? “We are here.” Mike said quietly after he parked his car in front of my building. He leaned towards me, giving me a kiss on my cheek. “Are you excited?” He asked gently.“Nervous.” I said weakly. He grabbed my chin lightly and lif

MARRY ME -SYNOPSIS-"Hey Seattle." I said after I came home after 3 years from Cairo. Seattle Tacoma Airport welcomed me with his new coffee machine at the entrance, giving me that well-known smell of my home. I miss my morning coffee.I've changed a lot. I started putting make-up on my face, I started dressing classier. Although I had to study a lot, I had to attend a bunch of business meetings with my dad for his company. I never thought I will be someone who has more dresses in her closet than jeans or tracksuits!Nevertheless, my feelings towards people here in Seattle hasn't changed. I've put a lot of thinking into this, but I finally decided for my residency to be Pediatrics. In Africa, 90% of my work was on those poor kids who suffered a lot, who experienced heavy trauma. I decided Pediatrics because children are always honest, they have a pure heart, and most importantly, I just can't stand to see a sm
"Calm down! I don't know what is happening either but I am sure they two-" George started but I interrupted him."Nothing between them? So why in the hell is he with her on a date when his girlfriend arrived home after 3 years?!" I raised my voice, feeling angry and dissapinted at the same time.What in the hell is going on?"Jessica. Not a date. Dinner." George said trying to reassure me."Date." Hannah said nonchalantly. She sat down, and George sat down too. I stood there, not knowing what to think. I know last time we talked we had a fight but we didn't break up. Or did we? "Call him." George suggested."Surprise him." Hannah added.I sat down too, thinking. Should I call him? Should I be worried? He is cheating on you!My consience spoke and I had to shook my head, not approving this. Hannah looked at me in disbelief, not knowing what to say to reassure me. Without saying anything, I grabbed my black Armani bag, yes I still have that, and I took out my phone. I looked at Georg
"John?" I aksed nervously."You came back?" He asked with shaky voice. I was surprised he called so I was left speechless, I had no words."Umm... Yea..." I tried to talk normal, I tried to mumble, still not knowing how to react on this call. I haven't heard his voice since forever! I felt frustration and tingling sensation throughout my whole body. I couldn't believe I was so shook by his call."Are you free tonight?" He asked barely audible, and his voice was shaking almost visibly."I am now." I said quickly. Too quickly, I think. I closed my eyes, trying to mind-slap my forehead. How can I be so stupid! I was shaking my head and Hannah looked at me nervously. Until I sat there waiting for John's responce, I whispered his name to her. She opened her eyes widely and George covered his mouth in surprise. I nodded weakly, still confused by his call like George and Hannah were."That coffee shop across your apartment? In 10 minutes?" He finally spoke. "Sure." I said too quickly again
"So, how it went?" Hannah asked me as we were driving to hospital. It was my first day of work here and I am both excited and scared I will mess something up. Knowing me, I will. I was quiet. I wasn't going to answer Hannah's question because her question is refering to last night. My meeting with John. After the most awkward coffee I ever had, I came home so confused, looking exhausted as hell just like I always look like when meeting John. Why? After meeting him, my past and my present, even my future depends on what is he going to say. I never thought I will be so weak in front of someone who hurted me so much!"You know, eventually, you will have to speak you know?" Hannah said sarcastically. I let the biggest sigh out, letting all air out of my lungs and closed my eyes."I don't want to..." I almost started crying as I felt tears in my eyes. "I am at the very start like I was when I left Seattle. I though everything will be so... Different you know?" I said sadly. "Mike was lyin
