"So does this mean, you are my boyfriend now", I blush at my own words.
"What do you think?" He smiles back and I can't control my laughter since this is something I never imagined. This Robo is be my boyfriend now!
Suddenly thoughts of Winnie pops up in my mind and I am kind of feeling guilty for what I have done. But then I again remember that Jim knew about Winnie? "Jim".
"Yes", he responses.
"You knew about Winnie?"
"Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. It was when we were here in Boston , she proposed me. I knew she kind of liked me but I thought that was just some a crush or something. I never imagined she was obsessed with me. For which she went to Virginia in the same college", Jim utters. I am shocked. So Winnie transferred here just for the sake of Jim. Jim holds my arms and leans closer, "But I love you. I don't know why Winnie's behaving such. I never talked to her when we were in Boston except if it was necessary". I know. I trust him. But I am confused what we will do now. When Winnie'll get to know that we both are together, how she'll react!
"What'll Winnie do now when she gets to know...", before I can complete Jim hugs me and says, "She'll have to understand that she can't always get whatever she wants. I don't love her."
Embracing him again I nod in response. "It's too late. Go and sleep", Jim says.
"Yeah", but then I don't wanna go in room. I'm not sure if Winnie's awake or not because I'm yet not ready to face her so I hold back.
"What happened?"
"Nothing. I just don't wanna go", I guess Jim understood my dilemma.
"Okay. But have you packed your bags?" He asks.
"Yes. You?"
"Almost", he replies.
"Then go. Tomorrow we are leaving early", I remind him.
"Okay you wait here. I'm coming right now", saying so he goes back to his room while I just stare at him seeing him go. I can't believe this is actually happening to me. I have a boyfriend now! All these feels like a dream which I fear will get broken once I wake up. I don't wanna lose him.
As I look at the clock, I see it's already 2 at night. It's been almost 15 mins but Jim's still not coming. I guess he's packing things back. Suddenly I notice Sarah secretly going out of her room. I wonder where is she going at this hour of night? That too alone. She's been sharing room with Keith but I guess Keith's sleeping. I decide to follow Sarah since I'm not sure why she's going like this. But then I stop and decide to wait for Jim. Soon after Jim returns, I see he changed his shirt and now wearing a jacket. As soon as he's near me I say,"I just saw Sarah going somewhere secretly".
"Where is she going at this hour of night?" Jim asks in confusion.
"I don't know. But I think we follow her. Since it's too late now."
"Sure?"
"Hmm", I nod. Next we follow Sarah and see her going out of the main door. We decide to hold back and soon find Keith coming with bouquet of Red Roses. I stare back at Jim and we smile as we both realize what's gonna happen now. Also I wonder when did Keith get out of the room since I didn't see him going.
"I knew it", I whisper to Jim since we are watching them secretly.
"What?" He asks.
"That something was brewing between Keith and Sarah". Jim smiles in reply and we both stare back at them as we see Keith bend down on his knees being fully dressed. He is carrying the bouquet in his hands while Sarah stands surprised wearing her trousers and sweat shirt. I can clearly guess that Sarah had no idea about this else she would have dressed up nicely.
"I love you Sarah", Keith claims forwarding the bouquet while Sarah's staring at him unbelievably.
Soon after she starts,"This is not fair". Jim and I look at each other and wonder why not fair! "You should have told me before that you're gonna propose me. See I'm not even dressed properly", Sarah says pointing towards her attire. I laugh hard in a low tone and Jim joins me toon
"But I wanted to give you surprise", Keith defends innocently.
"Okay okay. I love you too", Sarah blushes grabbing the bouquet. Meanwhile Keith stands up and she hugs him with Keith responding back. I just smile seeing them and utter,"Oowwwwww. This is so cute."
"Why cute?" Jim questions.
"The way he proposed. It's too cute. You know, Tacker also proposed Emi like this".
"Ooh", he says.
"I guess we should go now. We should give them some privacy", I grin.
"Okay. But you said you don't wanna enter your room".
"Yeah", Jim's right. I don't wanna go there. But what to do now.
"Then come in my room", as he says so I literally stare at him.
"No no. I mean Sam's not there. I guess today he's sleeping with Tacker. Also, there are two single bed in that room", he clarifies"Oh okay", I smile awkwardly.
. . .
So we both are lying in same room but different beds. I turn aside to face him. I see he's already staring at me lying on his bed since the beds are arranged side by side. He smiles at me, "Do let me know if you need anything."
"Okay", I nod back.
"Good night".
"Sleep tight", I reply back as we remember our special good night wish.
"And don't let the bedbugs bite", he chuckles. Jim turns off the lamp and I close my eyes at the same time remembering all those things that happened today. I finally found the love of my life!
Jim's Pov:
The alarm rings and I wake up to see it's 7 in the morning. I should wake Eila up. As I proceed towards her bed I stop and sit beside her. She's looking beautiful. I slowly forward my hand to remove the loose strand of hair on her face as I remember our first kiss on the bench. I place my palm on her cheek and realize that her cheeks are way too soft. Unable to resist myself I gently pull them, "Wake up. It's already 7". But she's not responding . I guess she's too tired. We'll leave at 9 today, so I decide to let her sleep for more 30 mins. In the mean time I cover her properly with the blanket and head out of the room. Suddenly Emi comes to near and asks, "Have you seen Eila? I slept early last night. After I woke up in the morning she was not in the room. She even left her phone with me. I asked Winnie and she told Eila didn't come to room last night. Where might she go! Did you see her since she was with you I guess?"
Emi finally stops. I wonder how to answer since it's kind of awkward to reply but I guess now we have nothing to hide. "She's sleeping in my room". As the words are out I notice Emi's eyes widen in surprise. Actually I kind of expected this reaction.
