DREAM COMES TRUE

Chapter 9

ANDREW'S POV

I thought for some time, actually quite a long time, then I decided to go and talk to Jessi.

Honestly, I don't know what I am gonna talk about but I will just do it.

I opened the door of the other room...which is the room where that jerk slept....Jessi was sitting near the foot of the bed. Her legs were pulled up to her chest and she had her face hidden in between her knees. I went closer, I heard a sniffle.

Is she crying? No, why? Why is she crying? I can't see her crying.

I went closer, sat beside her and tapped on her shoulder. She immediately looked up and hugged me tightly as if her life was dependent on this.

I could feel her tears wetting my shoulder. I rubbed her back to calm her.

"I-I am sorry. I am sorry Andy. I am sorry." She said in between the tears and sniffles.

The moment her words reached my ears, I felt my heart melting into a pool of emotions and my anger, disappointment, thoughts, everything melting along with it.

All my anger and disappointment got vanished and I hugged her even more tightly. My love for her is definitely greater than my hate for that man added with my anger with her.

"I am sorry, Andy. I can't afford to loose you. Please forgive me." She said sorry again. She is really guilty.

"Jessi, look at me.  I am not angry with you. Look at me." I cupped her face and made her look at me. Her eyes were all teary.

"It's okay, Jessi. It's okay." I wiped her tears.

"I know I shouldn't have done that. It was just a moment where I couldn't...I know I have no right to defend myself." 

"Trust me. I had no intentions of cheating on you. I can never think of doing that." I trust her. I love her. I know she can never cheat on me.

"I know Jessi. I know everything, okay. Just calm down now." I patted her back.

"I love you Andrew. I love you so much." She hugged me tightly and hid her face in the crook of my neck.

She rarely uses the word 'love'. This word is really important to her. If she says that she loves me, it means that she really does. There is no doubt in that.

She has said 'I Love You' to me one or two times before also. But then it felt like a formality, as if she was saying that just because she was supposed to....obviously because we are in a relationship. I know that she likes me but 'love' is a really being thing for her. She won't say it to anyone just like that.

Bella once told me that even in her previous relationships, she never said these three words to anyone.

But right now, it felt like she actually means it. She really loves me. Finally, she has confessed it. I am so so so happy.

Or may be it was just a slip of tongue? It was just because of this situation?

I am not sure but the thought that she actually meant it makes me happy and I would go with that even if it's not true.

"You are not angry at me?" She broke the hug and looked at my face.

"No, I am not angry. I am just hurt." She should know that I am hurt.

"I know it's because of me. I promise that I will never hurt you again." She planted a small kiss on my forehead.

"This is not enough. You have to do a lot to appease me." I smiled at her.
