About a week later, I still hadn't spoken to Jake about the kiss. I was still a bit nervous. The weirdest part about this whole thing was that he wasn't even talking to me. At all. He wasn't even helping me with any homicide cases like he was supposed to.
Honestly, I was getting worried about Jake. I kept thinking that he was upset about something. And I hadn't seen Jennifer around NYPD either. Something was wrong.
I left work at my usual time and started to drive home. I was at a stoplight when I heard a noise coming from my phone. I picked it up and saw that it was a text from Jake. At first I was surprised. I thought he wouldn't ever speak to me again. But then I read his message:
Jake: Come over to my house. I need to talk to you. Its important.
I couldn't believe it. What did this mean? I then saw the stoplight turn green and I headed in the direction of Jake's house.
I get to his house and pull in the driveway. I walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. A few seconds later, Jake opens the door. "Come in," he says.
I walk into the house as Jake, rushed around, trying to find something to distract himself. "You know what? I'll be right back."
He turns and walks to his bedroom. I sit down on the couch in the living room as I wait for him to come back out. As I sat there, I wondered what he wanted to talk to me about. What was so important that I had to come over?
A few minutes later, Jake came out of his room and sat next to me on the couch. He took my hands in his and when he did, I noticed the expression on his face: the face of stress.
"What's going on?" I managed to ask.
Jake looks into my eyes and says, "Laura, I made a mistake."
"What are you talking about?"
"I shouldn't have proposed to Jennifer."
I looked at him in shock. I couldn't believe what he was saying.
"I guess what I am trying to say is that I am still in love with you, too."
Jake then toke my face in his hands and kissed me, giving me the best feeling in the world: love.
