Jerika: It's Complicated 🐐💙

Chapter 29

Narrator: The days had gone by and it was Erika's last day in Miami. Nick had left her and Lauren was supposed to be with her but she never showed up. It was late in the afternoon and she was finished packing. She grabbed her stuff and met her driver downstairs. She got in the car and started to reminisce about her trip. It was just what she needed to forget about her situation with Jake.
But now she had to face reality and figure out what is going on with her marriage.
Half an hour later she was at the airport and checked herself in, she sent Lauren a reminder to pick her up since she would be arriving a little late.

Team 10 House

Narrator: Jake was feeling very anxious. He was able to clear his mind and only focus on what he felt. He's in love with Erika and does not regret getting married so soon. She would be coming back today and he was ready to tell her and beg her to be by his side again. With the help of Lauren he had set up a nice table setting outside and their bedroom filled with roses. Now he just needed to wait for her to arrive.

7 hours later

Erika had arrived finally after some issues with her luggage but she was able to get everything sorted. Lauren had picked her up and they were catching up in the car.

Lauren: So are you staying at the Team 10 house?
Erika: Uh... yeah.
Lauren: Well why don't you drop off your stuff at your house? I don't think he's there right now.
Erika: Yeah I guess

Narrator: They arrived to the house and Erika went inside. It was quiet and most of the lights were out. She looked back outside and Lauren was gone. She grabbed her suitcase and walked upstairs to the bedroom. She opened the door and froze at the sight of him. He stared back at her for what felt like an eternity. She looked away and saw the roses everywhere, and he was dressed nicely. Jake got closer and she did not move. He was finally in front of her ready to speak what he felt

Jake: I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for questioning our marriage, I look in your eyes now and see the pain I caused for being an idiot. Not realizing you're all that matters to me and not what others think because I only care what you think of me. I'll admit I was scared but you know my past on relationships. I'm learning as I go, I don't want to mess this up. I want you forever. I want you everyday. Not having you by my side was hard, not seeing your beautiful face, or feeling the warmth of your skin next to me. Your kisses and those gorgeous eyes that drive me crazy. I love you Erika, please forgive me?

Narrator: Erika remained still, she looked in his eyes and she knew he was being sincere. Her breathing was heavy from just hearing him pour his heart out to her. Yet she couldn't speak up and all she could do was nod her head. He grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

Jake: Will you be my wife again?
Erika: I never stopped.

Narrator: They smiled and kissed for a long moment. He grabbed her hand and led her downstairs to the candle lit dinner that was waiting outside. They spent the next hour bonding and laughing. They were on the path to happiness, at peace. At that very moment nothing else mattered but each other.

But is it really the end?
