Deaf Wish

Chapter 50

With that, I slowly started to head over to Nathans place, which was an all too familiar route of walking down the street. Jordan was walking next to me, also shoeless, encouraging me to keep going. We arrived at his door way too fast for my liking, even though I was trying to walk really slow. I turned back to Jordan who waited at the driveway, giving me huge smile and a thumbs up.

One last deep breath, my heart almost breaking my rib cage with it's heavy pounding, but I rang the doorbell and I kinda regretted it afterward. A few seconds later, the door opened and his mother stood there, smiling at me with this knowing look on her face. "Uhm hey Liza. Is Nathan home?", I asked, trying not to sound too nervous, but my trembling hands were a dead give away in this situation. "Sky, it's good to see you. No,he's not. He did say he's going out for coffee, so I thought he was with you to be honest, because his car is still here.",disappointment washed over my features and also my heart.

Deep down, I wanted to tell him about it, about the things Jordan helped me to discover. "Oh, well thank you anyway. Have a nice day.", I forced myself to smile before turning around and walking back to Jordan. Tears were on the verge of overflowing as I stood before him. "Hey, it's okay. Let's just wait.", he wrapped his arms around me, petting my head. Normally he wouldn't do that, he knew about my hate of touching, but in this moment I didn't even mind. I cried into his chest.

Suddenly, I had a thought flash before me, I pushed Jordan off of me and looked him in the eyes,excitement rushing through my body. "I know where he is.",without saying anything else, I take off. Ignoring the fact that I'm not wearing any shoes. Of course, there is only one place he would be at, since he's still fairly new to this place. I didn't even check if Jordan was following me or not, I didn't care. As I reached downtown , I was already pretty beat, but stopping was not an option at this moment. I wanted him back and I wanted him to know why.

There it is, the letters of the little café we went on our first date. I stop in front of the door,trying to catch my breath, seeing a curios Jordan arrive behind me."You sure he's in there?", he asked also slightly out of breath. I just nod, before opening the door and entering the air conditioned room . My first glance went to the back of the small shop meeting with surprised green eyes. He was the only one in here, plus the two waitresses , the same ones that worked when we came here the first time.

I charged over to him, silent tears running down my face. "I'm so so sorry for what I said! It was the most stupid thing I've ever said in my life! I don't ever want to leave you because... because...", I turn to look at Jordan, who nodded. Nathan got up from his chair, waiting with a calm expression. My heart was pounding painfully fast, but the words wouldn't leave my mouth. He smiled, raising his right hand, slowly extending his pinky and index finger and thumb.

More tears escape my eyes as I cover my mouth, trying to control the sobs. "I love you.", he added, but that gesture said it all. I couldn't help but laugh, so did he. I did the same gesture, before throwing my arms around him. His hand rubbed my back, trying to get me to calm down a little. Well, at least they were happy tears. We let go of each other, looking deep into one another's eyes, slowly leaning closer for a kiss .

I didn't care about anyone seeing or judging us, I wanted everyone to know that he was mine. And mine alone. His lips felt even better than yesterday as he smiled into the kiss. We parted after a few more seconds, grinning at each other. "So, will you be my boyfriend?", did he even have to ask?I placed my lips back on his, answering his question with that. "I'll take that as a yes.", he smiled. "It is.", my hands were on his hips, steadying myself. "I didn't mean to be rude, but who's that guy that has been staring at us for the last few minutes?", I turn around to see Jordan, still standing there with a huge smile on his face.
