WRITTEN BY RUKEVWE MERRY
After Perry’s week-long absence from work, she finally felt well enough to return. she was greeted with smiles and warm welcomes from her colleagues.
During the day, Perry kept seeing Jason looking at her quickly from far away. He usually looked calm, but today he seemed a bit different. Perry wondered why. Even though they had a tense moment before, Perry felt thankful to Jason for being so caring when she was sick.
During office break, Jason walked up to Perry and said sorry for how he acted by destroy her phone. they talked in the office. He explained that he got upset because he had some feelings he hadn’t dealt with about his mom and trusting people. Perry listened carefully, understanding how he felt, and tried to make him feel better.
While they chatted, Perry and Jason started telling each other things they hadn’t told anyone else before. They talked about their pasts, the things that scared them, the things they wished for, and the things they dreamed about. It felt like they were really connecting, like they were getting closer than they had been before.
As time went on, Perry and Jason’s friendship kept getting stronger. They became like best friends, helping each other with work problems and with things going on in their personal lives too. Even though they were different in some ways, they felt better when they were together, and their friendship got stronger every day.
One evening, after everyone else had gone home, Perry and Jason stayed behind to finish some work together. But instead of just working, they started talking about fun stuff and making each other laugh. Perry realized how much she liked having Jason around and how important he had become to her.
This was the first time Perry had seen Jason smile and laugh so much. Seeing him happy made her happy too, knowing that she could make him feel that way.
As they finished their work and got ready to leave, Jason surprised Perry by asking her if she wanted to go out to dinner with him. Perry wasn’t sure at first because it’s late and she is tired but eventually agreed to go,They walked out of the office together, holding hands.”Don’t worry, Perry, after dinner, I’ll take you home,” Jason reassured her. Perry smiled and replied, “You know where I live, but I don’t know where you live.” Jason responded, “After dinner, I’ll take you to my place before I take you home.” Perry smiled back and said she was looking forward to that.
At dinner, Perry and Jason enjoyed their meal and exchanged smiles. During a light moment, Perry handed her phone to Jason to take a picture of her. Jason asked for her phone password, which she gave him without thinking much about it.
While Perry excused herself to use the restroom, a message popped up on her phone screen saying “I love you too.” Curious, Jason opened her phone and checked her WhatsApp messages, only to discover that Perry was chatting with her boyfriend.(Unknown to Jason, Sarah, whose phone wasn’t working properly, had been using Perry’s phone to chat with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend had only just replied, causing the message to pop up while Jason had Perry’s phone.)
Seeing the chat broke Jason’s heart because he had just started to trust women again, but now his trust was shattered by what he saw on Perry’s phone. He waited for Perry to return, but when she did, he left her in anger, heading to the car to wait for her so he could drop her home.
Perry went to Jason’s car and asked why he left angrily. She asked what was wrong, but Jason simply replied, “Get in the car, I’ll take you home.” Perry insisted, reminding him that he promised to show her where he lived. Jason responded, “Please, just get in the car. I’ll show you my place. Can we leave now?”
Perry entered the car, but Jason’s face still showed anger. When they arrived at Jason’s house, they both got out of the car and went inside. Perry exclaimed, “Wow, this house is beautiful! Do you live here alone?” Jason replied, “I live here with my dad, but he’s not currently in the country.”
Perry asked if she could see the rooms, but Jason said there was no need. Perry insisted, so Jason reluctantly showed her his room. “Wow, this is the largest room I’ve ever seen! It’s beautiful,” Perry said. She then demanded to see the other rooms, but Jason refused. Perry, determined, grabbed Jason’s hand and tried to drag him to the other rooms, but he ended up shouting at her to leave and go to your her boyfriend’s house.
In response to Jason’s accusations, Perry asked, “What do you mean by that? Have I ever told you I have a boyfriend?” Jason replied, “You don’t need to tell me that. I already found out from your WhatsApp. All this while, you were cheating on me. You’re just like my mom. You were telling your boyfriend ‘I love you’ countless times today.” Perry laughed! saying, “That’s Sarah’s boyfriend. Her phone is bad, so she used my phone to chat with her boyfriend today. Besides, how does that mean I’m cheating on you? I can only cheat on you if we are in a relationship.”
Jason asked, “And who said we aren’t in a relationship, Perry? I can’t ever remember telling you I’m dating you. We only mistakenly got intimate.” Perry replied,
“And who said it’s a mistake we got intimate? It was part of our Destiny” Jason responded,
“I don’t understand you tonight. Why are you feeling so entitled towards me?” Perry asked, “It’s because I’m in love with you, and I know you like me too. I already consider we are in a relationship. But if you think we aren’t, then let me ask you officially. Perry, will you be in a relationship with me?”beside I’m sorry for accusing you wrongly because of the chat I saw.
Perry was short of words. “I, I, I…” she stammered. Jason approached her and said, “I truly love you. I really don’t know how you turned my stone heart into a loving heart. Say yes to me and make me the happiest man on earth.”
