Men Do Cry šš
(episode 5)
Love is a force that canāt be subdued or hidden. Never in a thousand years would Jaden have thought that he
would fall in love again, not to talk of outrightly confessing his feelings to someone. He felt he was tough but love brought his toughness down to naught. He didnāt see it coming at all and was surprised at himself for revealing his feelings to Laura.
āIām madly in love with you Lauraā he unknowingly confessed. Laura was shocked and dumbfounded, she never believed that this day would come. āJaden you canāt be saying things you donāt meanā she said trying to deny his feelings for her. āWhat makes you think Iām joking or being dishonest?ā He questioned, āBecause I find it hard to believe that youāre in love with me. I mean look at me, you canāt possibly be in love with an ex fast food attendantā she said looking into his eyes.
Jaden was a bit confused and didnāt know why she felt he wasnāt being genuine. āLaura, I have only poured my heart out to two women all my life and you are the second lady Iām ever confessing my feelings to. Love has never been fair to me and I have always been afraid to try again but Iām willing to try with you. I want to try with you Lauraā he said looking into her eyes.
Laura was deeply in love with Jaden too but felt he still had some emotional baggage from the past and thought it would affect their relationship, if they ever have one. āI canāt deny the fact that I like you too but Iām just scared of giving in to my feelings, because I feel you still have some grudge from your past and if you donāt settle with your past, youāll end up hurting any relationship we venture into. I really like you and want to be with you too, but liking you isnāt enough to want to go into a relationship with youā she said.
Her words touched Jadenās soul and he admitted what she said within but that was not stopping him from getting her. āLaura I love you and Iām willing to make us work out. Iām willing to put in the effort to work on my past, I want you to help me too by showing me how beautiful and pure love can be. I want to try and I want to try with youā he said.
The atmosphere was charged with so much emotions as they talked and Jaden got carried away. He leaned towards Laura and planted a soft kiss on her lips. Lauraās body was covered with goosebumps as she kissed back. The kiss was filled with so much emotions and feelings for each other. Their breath ceased as they kissed passionately.
After kissing for a while, Jaden redrew himself from her and said āI want you, please think about my proposalā. Laura nodded and they set off to a nice restaurant for dinner and headed to their different destination afterwards.
All through that night, neither Jaden nor Laura could sleep well as they thought about what had happened. Laura was in love with him and wanted him too but was scared that he was just too much a man for her to handle. She put in so much thought into Jadenās proposal and decided to give him a chance. On the other hand, Jaden prayed the little way he knew how to pray and asked God to touch Lauraās heart to accept him. It was a stressful night due to excess thinking, but they finally put themselves to sleep.
Laura woke up the next day thinking about Jaden and his cute kiss. She smiled at every thought of him and blushed afterwards. As she headed to work, she picked her phone and sent an SMS to him which read āI donāt know what Iām getting myself into by accepting you into my life, but Iām willing to trust you with my heart and love. You are a good man and thereās no other person I rather want to be with. I love you Jaden, see you later!ā. When Jaden received the SMS, he leaped for joy and couldnāt contain his happiness. He texted her back and his message read āYou arenāt making a mistake and I promise to never make you regret this decision. I love you too!ā. Laura smiled when she got his message and couldnāt stop smiling all through that day at work.
Their relationship was enviable and they seem almost inseparable. After about a month of being together, Jaden was convinced she was the one and finally invited her to his house for the first time. Laura was excited due to his invitation because she had been secretly wondering why he hadnāt invited her earlier. Jaden used the excuse that he wanted to eat home cooked meal to invite her over.
During the weekend, Laura went to the market and bought some foodstuffs she will use to prepare the food Jaden wanted. He drove to her house to pick her together with the food stuffs she bought and they headed to his house. Jadenās apartment had a classy interior and was beautifully decorated in a suitable way for a bachelor, āWelcome my darling, you are the first woman asides my cleaners that has entered this apartmentā he said as Laura walked in. She smiled and told him to stop pulling her legs but he assured her that it was the truth.
They settled in and Laura headed for the kitchen. In no time, the meal was ready and they ate happily and talked while at it. After eating, they gist and laughed all through till something unexpected happened.
Laura jokingly took his phone and asked him to beg before she gives it back. Jaden smiled initially and jokingly told her to return his phone, āI want you to say please before I give it back or canāt you say please?ā she jokingly said and before she knew it, Jaden shouted on top of his voice and said āI canāt say please!ā.
For a second, Laura couldnāt figure what was going on as she was surprised. She held her heart and couldnāt believe that Jaden could get angry over a minor thing like that, ādid you just shout at me?ā She asked in a shaky tone.
Jaden finally realised what he had done and apologetically said āLaura please Iām so sorryā.
