Part 13

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CHAPTER

-Jesse-

A few weeks went by and Rob and I really bonded. Mostly through make out sessions but that doesn't matter. We also talked. A lot. Just about eachother and what we think about some subjects. We stayed over at eachothers places a lot but we did not have sex yet. We're not even together! But I want to change that soon. I am planning on making Rob dinner at my place and then come out to him and ask him to be my boyfriend. I discovered that I am bisexual. I really struggled the past few weeks and ever since I had feelings for Rob. It was just weird for my brain how I didn't regret Jolein and still like men.. And then I read about Bisexuality. It's totally normal to like both genders. I really educated myself to fully make sure that what I was feeling, was what I had read.

I take my phone from my pocket and open textmessage.

Jesse: Want to come over tonight? I'm making dinner ;)    Send 14.57

Rob: I would love to! See you tonight💖    Send 15.03

I smile when he texts back and put my phone away. I take a quick run to the supermarket to get some pasta. I'm making vegan pesto pasta. I finish some work on my laptop before starting dinner. Around 5 I throw some rose leaves around the hallway to the kitchen and put a lot of candles everywhere. When I say 'a lot' I mean A LOT. I turn all lights down so only candle light, lights up my house. I dress myself in black jeans, a white shirt and a navy blue blazer and put some product in my curls. Then I start cooking dinner and quickly light some candles who burned down. Rob could be here anytime.

Not much later I hear the frontdoor opening and closing. It takes a bit before Rob appears around the corner of the living room. "What is this?" His mouth is wide open with a slight smile. "You'll see" I walk towards him and we share a loving kiss. He looks at me with a questionable look. Cute. "I made pesto pasta!" I walk towards the decorated dinner table. Two big candles are burning and the rest of the table is covered in rose leaves. I put the two plates with food down on the table. "Take a seat" Rob who's still looking shocked takes a seat across me.

After eating our dinner and talking about our week, I take both his hands. "I want to tell you something" I look at him. His deer-like eyes meet mine and he waits for me. "You are the first person that I tell this to" I swallow quickly. "I am coming out as bi" The nerves are rushing through my veines and my knees feel weak. "Really? Awh I am so proud of you!!" Rob stands up and we fall into a hug. "I am really fucking proud of you Jes." He kisses my neck softly. "Thank you" we pull out and share a passionate kiss.

Later that evening we sit on the couch with a glass of wine and some chips. I'm very very nervous. "I got you something" I pull myself out of the comfortable position we were in and walk towards the kitchen where my bag is laying. I see Rob looking at me because he is probably curious what I've got him. I take the little box from my bag and walk towards the couch. I plop next to Rob and turn my torso to him. "So.. where do I begin" I take a deep breath. I've repeated what I wanted to say a thousand times the past week. It drives me crazy. "We have been dating for a few months now. And I realized that I have fallen deeply in love with you. Madly even. You made my life a bit brighter. And I want to ask you something..." Rob looks at my with tears in his eyes. I feel his hand on my knee. His warm hand. I open the box. "Rob.."

I turn the little box towards him. "Do you want to be my boyfriend?" I finally ask him and he looks at me with a lot of emotions. "Are you serious?!" He smiles and kisses my lips. We pull out and he looks at the ring inside the little box. "A ring?." A tear runs over his cheek. He didn't say yes.... "Is that a yes?" I ask nervous. "Oh yes! Ofcourse! I'm sorry! Come here" he grabs my neck and kisses my passionately. We take out the ring and I shove it over his ring finger. It is a seal ring with a subtle heart graved into it.

We spend the rest of the evening cuddling, kissing, talking and just feeling eachothers love. Our bodies pressed together and enjoying eachothers company. This man drives me wild. But also keeps me steady. Never ever did I think that I would find real love in my life again. Especially not with a man... I love him
