I'll Stay

Chapter 34

"Good morning beautiful" Jason said.
"Good morning" I answered while stretching. I realized i was in the living room. How?
"You slept off yesterday while you cried. You must have been so tired."
"And emotionally drained"
"Breakfast?"
"Yes please"
"Sure"
After we ate breakfast, i had my bath while he got ready for work.
"Please make yourself comfortable here. Call the reception for anything you need"
"No that's not necessary. I actually want to go back to my house. I can't be a burden here. Besides, will i stay here forever?"
"Jasmine, please stay. I insist. He might come back again."
"I can't stay. I'm sorry. I want to thank you for everything. I appreciate every inch."
He sighed. I picked up my purse.
"You are not going anywhere!" He yelled.
I flinched. What the? Why did he shout? Am i safe? I just want to go home.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm sorry. I-I I uhm I'm sorry that happened. Forgive me. I just lost control."
"Of what?"
"Of my feelings for you Jasmine. I know it's too early but I can't lie, I want you so bad. You are so beautiful and strong. I want to be here for you. I love you so much"
"Huh? What is going on here? Jason, i just met you. What if I was some psycho killer? You can't jump into conclusion on loving someone. Take it from me."
"Please Jasmine. Don't go. You're mine."
"I'm yours? Please I'm leaving. Thank you for your kindness Mr Jason."
"Alright. Let me at least drive you."
"No. You have work. Please don't worry about me."
"How about my driver taking you back? This is the least I could do."
I shouldn't be rude. So i nodded.
"Thank you so much Jason."
"My pleasure."
"Mm"
He saw me to the car. After we exchanged numbers, he held my hands and pecked them.
"I wish you could be mine."
"I'm sorry Jason. I can't. Thank you for everything once again." With that, i removed my hands from his. He looked sad.
"Bye Jasmine. Please call me if you need anything or if he comes to disturb you. Ok?"
"Mm. Bye." Then he sighed and closed the door of the car.
When we got to my house, i saw Master sitting at the door step. My heart skipped. All of a sudden, i became nervous. Why is he still here? Did he actually wait here for me since yesterday? No it can't be. He must have gone. But he's still wearing the same shirt. I shook my head while i came down from the car, limping.
As soon as he saw me, he walked towards me.
"Don't come any closer Erik"
"I'm a fool. I know. I am so stupid. I'm so sorry Jasmine. Please i truly am. I acted like a child not like a man. Please forgive me"
"You have no idea the pain you cause me. Who the fuck do you think you are? I HATE YOU!"
"I am nobody....nobody without you. You make me forget who i am when i am around you. No rules, no formalities....just you and I."
"Please stop. Leave! Your bullshit won't work on me"
"You make me happy Jasmine. I was so foolish not to recognize we are a perfect match. Please don't leave me. Please forgive me."
"Erik, leave before i call the police"
Then he knelt down and a tear rolled down his face. Oh.
"I'm sorry Jasmine. Please i know what i did was very wicked. You don't deserve it at all. Please Jasmine."
"Erik....I"
"You? Please talk to me. Please babe"
Babe? Hehe.
"I am sorry but I don't ever want to see you again. I'm done with the job. You need to look for someone else. I won't continue to be humiliated. Please just.....go"
"Jasmine, I know you might think I don't mean this but....I love you. I mean every word and I don't regret."
My eyes widened.
"I love you so much. I had to stay here and wait for you to come back. Even if it means sleeping in the car or on the door step, I don't give a damn. I just want you back. I just want my baby back. Jasmine, you opened a part of me i never knew i had. Please you need to know how important you are to me. I'm so so sorry babe. Please forgive me. It will never happen again. I mean it. If my mother won't accept you, i am ready to move out and start a new life with you. Please Jasmine, tell me you won't leave me. Tell me you will forgive me. Tell me you'll stay with me and never leave me. Please babe"
I was so dumbfounded. I couldn't speak. But i just had to find the words. He really touched my heart. I mean, he has owned up to his mistakes. And he is willing to move out of his house and leave his mother behind, for me? But that will be too selfish of me. He loves me. I felt my heart melt when I remembered how he said he loves me so much.
"Erik I-I can't believe this. You love me?"
"So much. Too much. Please tell me you'll stay with me."
I scoffed with tears rolling down my cheeks. Of course i want to stay with you. Inasmuch as you hurt my feelings, I couldn't stop thinking about you.
"I'll stay" i nodded.
"Do you love me?"
"I love you" i felt light saying it.
"I'm sorry Jasmine"
"It's ok. Please stand."
He stood and he hugged me so tight....twirling me around. As he caressed my cheek, he gently kissed me. This kiss was so beautiful and soft I didn't want it to end. When we broke the kiss, he hugged me again.
"You make me happy Jasmine."
