Foreign Boy Took My Heart (Completed)✔

Chapter-42 *Complications*✔

*Jessica's P.O.V. *

"I like him, Mahi, but I'm scared. I guess, I’m not ready to move into any kind of relationship with him." I sighed, rubbing my temples.

We were laying in my dorm room after spending the day under Max's guidance, and I must say, we really had fun together. He drove us here after dining in a fancy restaurant since he wanted to give a special treat to Mahi for making his surprise successful. It's not like Max was happy with my decision of staying here with Mahi, but I wanted to show her the place where I lived. I wanted to spend her last night here, in my room. It was bit uncomfortable as the space on my bed wasn't enough for two people, but we were somehow managing it, putting our legs on each other.

"You don't need to rush into such things, but he deserves a chance and you admitted it yourself," she reminded me in a firm voice.

Yeah, but I'm not 100% sure.

I stared at her. "Are you on his side?"

Mahi rolled her eyes. "Stop being melodramatic. I'm on your side always, no matter what happens, and you already know this." I gave her a sheepish smile, and she continued, "Just look at what he’s done for you, Jazz. He made your birthday so special. He cares for you, he only wants to see you happy. I know, I don't know him too well, and I only met him in person yesterday, but I’ve talked to him on Facebook. Don't forget, actions speak louder than words. The way he looked at you, the way he talks about you, the way his eyes lit up whenever you smiled at him, are enough signs of his feelings towards you. He is smitten with you, so stop being a coward and accept him."

I nodded. "I know, but I can't help it. What if my parents find out about him? Maa would kill me."

"Jazz, you have a year and a half. Take advantage of this time and get to know him better. I’m not saying to jump at him, now." She winked and continued, "All I saying is to give him a chance. If he’s not the one for you, you’ll both know after dating for a few days or months, and you can then move away from each other. But, if after spending time with him, you think he’s the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, then you’ll eventually find a way around your parents."

I stared at her and realised she was right. I was scared because of my parents, but what if it didn't work out? I didn't have to tell them anything, and I wouldn't regret losing a great guy in the future. It was so stupid of us to just start assuming things about the future instead of trying to fix our present. How could they be so sure of what they wanted in the future? We needed to focus on our present and should make it happy.

"Don't worry, we’ll deal with your parents later. Right now, you need to make a decision whether you’re going to give him a chance or not," Mahi added when I remained silent for a few minutes.

"Do you think I should?" I lifted one eyebrow.

Yeah, I asked that question, again.

"It's not what I think. It’s about what you want," Mahi stated and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Since when did you become so straightforward?"

"You are not the only one who changed," Mahi replied sarcastically, making me chuckle.

"Oh, really?" I said amused.

She cracked a little. "Yup," she said, popping the 'p.'

"I guess I need to know him better. Then I will make a move," I said after a while.

"Nice excuse to delay the decision." Mahi rolled her eyes.

I pressed my lips into a thin line and muttered, "Yeah."
