Innocent Love

Chapter 12

Irina's POV
It has been seven years and never once have I heard from Jake. As a memory I continued living at the mansion that Jake gifted me. Twenty three and never once kissed or got in a relationship. I studied law and now I'm a successful lawyer. Just for some peace of mind joined a yoga class. Nowadays I don't take cases.

Knock! Knock!

I opened the door and it was William. We never got along very nicely. It's more like tolerating each other. I gave him a stare. A thought buzzed in my mind thinking about stare and I smiled like an idiot.

"What do you want?" Without any permission William entered inside.

"Jake is coming back. Tonight, we will meet him at the airport. So, you better be ready and what kind of lady are you? I want coffee. Don't you ask guests if they want some?" William started being a jerk again. So much like his brother. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Guests not acquaintances" I said. William pouted.

"Ouch!" He said, being way too dramatic and placing a hand on his heart.

"Whatever. Now move out" I said pushing him out. He stopped outside the door again.

"You realise it is important for you to especially visit him to the airport right?" His statement was more of a question.

"I understand that William but to be honest I don't know how I'm about to face him. I mean, what if he is committed to another relationship now? Not so cool. It will feel like a knot in my heart" after hearing out my words which even I don't know from where they made their way into my mouth. His expression softened. He patted my head.

"I don't think my brother will ever let go something he desires this lot" he said. I took a huge amount of air and exhaled it slowly.

"How about we spy him tomorrow? Sounds like a plan" a smirk made its way to my lips.

"Nice idea! We will see if he has got another love" William and I were acting like those jealous teenage girls who investigates better than the CID.

"Nah! Let's drop it" we both said in unison.

The entire day I waited for night to approach. When I can finally meet Jake and confess my feelings for him, that is if he still have those feelings for me. It's been several years after all. Why will he wait for me? I sighed and entered my room. I changed in a white coat and black shiny leggings when it was time to go to the airport. I got a message from William, asking me to get out. I picked up my clutch and moved outside. He was standing out of his car with a lot of concern in his eyes. We grew up as good brother and sister.

"Ready Irina?" He asked as I took my seat on the passenger seat. He came and sat next to me. I gave him a firm nod and now, we were on our way to the airport. The entire drive was in awkward silence and I kept my gaze outside the window while William kept looking at the front.

We finally reached the airport and kept standing for that stupid jerk to come out. Thirty minutes of waiting and so signs of Jake. I at once thought if it is the wrong date. I sat on a chair and nudged William.

"What?" He questioned, even though he knew what was my question.

"Call him" I said after I taking a huge breath.

"Will you talk?" He asked as he dialled his number. I shook my head. I want it to be a surprise for him.

"Yes! Where are you stupid brother?"

Silence

"Fifteen minutes more? Fine!" William groaned.

Silence.

"Bye" William ended the call.

"More fifteen minutes Irina" he said. I nodded and sat patiently.

"Jake! OMG! It's Jake Anderson!" I heard someone scream while I slept. When did Jake got fangirls? I got up and found a huge crowd in the centre of which was the stupid jerk, Jake Anderson. How did I forgot he is one of the most desired eligible bachelor.

"What should I do?" I asked William who just shrugged. Unaware about what to do.

"Just do somethings! Anything!" William tried motivating me and I actually got motivated.

"Fine" I said, I got up and started making my way through the crowd.

"Jake!" I screamed. He didn't listened.

"Jake!" I yelled again but to no avail. When I was finally in front I decided to test something.

"Stupid Jerk!" I yelled and stumbled to something causing me to fall. So good, I'm going to make fun of myself. Two strong arms supported me and when I opened my eyes I stared in a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Miss. President?" His voice came more like a question.

"Oh! Hi, stupid jerk" he didn't made me stand nor did he left me. We were like frozen in the position. Confused about what to do. It was time to take action. I stood and caught both his hands. Our fingers intertwined. I pulled him towards me and hugged him. At first he was confused but soon recovered and hugged me back. I saw all the women staring daggers in my direction but I didn't care. I've waited long for this moment.

We soon released each other. I kept my gaze down, embarrassed for whatever I did.

"Sorry, it was sudden" I was about to walk away but he got my wrist and pulled me back.

Your weak point remembers?

Sure I do brain.

Good, cause I hate reminding you again and again.

Whatever!

Well, maybe this is a happy ending.

Maybe. I smiled to myself.

"It was a perfect timing Irina, no need for apology" Jake said. His voice has changed so much but still, I love it.

"No, it was no-" before I could complete my sentence, Jake pulled me closer and kissed me. The crowd cheered. The girls around us realised that their Prince Charming was taken. He released me. I was blushing red.

"You're still a jerk" I said.

"And you're still as beautiful and simple as you were then, Miss. President" he replied.

"It's going to be Mrs. Anderson, maybe" I said.

"Sure, you're right. No one else can take that position Miss, no Mrs. President" he winked. I laughed. We made our way out of the crowd, discussing how our wedding will happen and at the end it was decided that the wedding will be in a cruise. We were back home and things got pretty good. We still lived in the house he gifted me.

When we were back home, Jake blindfolded me and lead me somewhere. When he removed the blindfold I realised it was the backyard, all decorated and a lot of people around. When did this happen?

"Irina Westwood! Will you marry me?" Jake bend on his knees and removed a box. I never once realised when but we were on a stage. He opened the box which revealed a stunning diamond ring. It was like the most beautiful thing ever.

"Are you kidding me by asking? Of course I will" I replied. The crowd downstairs cheered us. An engagement ceremony is so amazing, I wonder how will our wedding be. Jake picked me up and kissed me. When he released me I hugged him. I guess that's what you call a happy ending.
