Stay With Me

Chapter 3: Anniversary

"Mine, I'm so sorry about what I said. Please talk to me. You not being with me make me crazy. I didn't mean what I said. I swear. I love you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so-" This was one of Jasper's messages to Danielle yesterday because they had an argument about marriage. Jasper had to bomb her phone with his messages because she decided to stay in bed the next day. She won't open the door. She just stayed in bed the whole day, crying and thinking.

Jasper had a key to Danielle's unit but Danielle put up a padlock from the inside so he couldn't enter. She needed to think. Jasper doesn't want to get married, she does. Marriage was everything to her and she couldn't imagine being married to anyone else but him.

She figured that she can wait. She will wait until he is ready to get married. It's Jasper she loves, only Jasper, no one else. Jasper respected her about the idea of sex so she will respect him with the idea of marriage. Ten, twenty or even seventy years, she will wait, for him.

She texted him the moment it was all clear to her.

It's alright, Mine. I forgive you. Don't you dare do it again. I love you.*kisses*

About fifteen seconds later, she received a text from Jasper.

Thank you, Mine. I love you more. But I still don't like the idea of marriage.

She smiled sadly at his reply. She replied:

I know. I love you most.

She received another reply in five seconds.

I love you more than most.

She fell asleep with Jasper in her mind. In two days, they will be one year together.

"One year..." She mumbled then she fell asleep.

She woke up at a sudden noise. She almost jumped off her bed at the sound and she was ready to scream.

"Mine, I just had a call from my secretary." Jasper said immediately as he walked out of her closet.

Seeing Jasper made all of her fears go away. She hasn't seen him in a day but it feels like a year already.

"I'm packing your things, Mine. We need to go to one of our stadiums. A major emergency happened." He said hurriedly and walked over to her with a few clothes of hers in his hand. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. God knows how much he missed her. A day without her is like the TV channel that makes this static sound and has vertical color bars on it, the day was useless.

"What? What happened? Which stadium? When did this happen?" Elle immediately panicked. She is so disappointed for herself. How can that happen? That never happened before.

"Don't panic, Mine. I already have our plane tickets. I'll explain everything at the airport; we'll have our breakfast there. Go get ready" Jasper said stuffing the clothes inside her luggage.

Confused and all, she got up from bed and had a quick shower. She forgot to get clothes from her closet since she went directly to her bathroom. She peeked out her bathroom door to see if Jasper was still there. He wasn't there so she went out of her bathroom with only a towel wrapped around her and saw that Jasper prepared her clothes to wear that rested on her bed. He picked skinny jeans and a blouse and her underwear. She laughed at what she saw, embarrassed and touched at the same time.

"Mine, we need to go. We have thirty minutes until our flight leaves." He shouted from outside as he heard her laugh inside her room.

She hurried to dress up and went out of her room with her bag.
