Still A Flashback..... ☟︎︎︎
Jessica's POV ☟︎︎︎
Today is Saturday. Im waiting for my parents to arrive in our house. I don't know why but i feel so nervous. My thoughts got disturbed by the door bell. I ran into our front door and opened it and welcomed my parents. ☟
Jessica: Mom! Dad!
I said while hugging them. They released the hugged and got straight to our living room. ☟︎︎︎
Jessica: So, what are you gonna tell me?
I asked them. They plastered a worried face and said
Mrs.Davis: "You'll be getting married with Mr.Valmoria." ☟︎︎︎
I stopped for while. No way im getting married, I have Justin. I looked at them trying to prevent my tears from falling. ☟︎︎︎
jessica: "Mom! Dad!, There is no way I'm getting force to be married. I already have a boyfriend I can't just-" ☟︎︎︎
My dad cutted me of saying
Mr.Davis: Breakup with Justin. This is for our company sweetheart. Its either your getting married or suffer living by yourself in the squatter. ☟︎︎︎
My mom held my hand
Mrs.Davis: Jess baby, Please, For the sake of our company, Don't worry you can get divorced after 5 months. ☟︎︎︎
Jessica: Do you guys really think is that easy?! Give me some time to think about this please. ☟︎
My parents nodded and i went to my room and lie on my bed sobbing. I don't know how to say this to Justin. This kind of situation give me heartaches and anxiety. I Really love my parents and I don't want them to be disappointed. I flinched a bit because of a knock on my bedroom door. I stood up and open my door and saw my mom smiling, i signalled her to enter and she sat beside me on my bed.
Mrs.Davis : So have you decided yet sweety? ☟︎︎︎
I sighed before answering her statement.
Jessica: I'll do it mama ☟︎︎︎
Mrs.Davis: Thank you sweetheart, Will be meeting Mr. and Mrs. Valmoria and there son Bryce Valmoria tonight. Dress Formally. She said smiling at me.
I just nodded and smiled at her hesitantly. ☟︎︎︎
She stood up and exited to leave my room and closed the door. I plopped myself on my bed and just starred at the ceiling.︎︎︎︎︎︎ ☟︎︎︎
"how will i explain this to Justin.
Fast Forward To Dinner.✈︎ ☟
We arrived at a very fancy restaurant. I was wearing a Navy Blue Off-Shoulderd Dress with White heels. I kept my hair down to make it simple. We Entered the restaurant and my mom held my hand lead us to a near table where i think Mr. and Mrs. Valmoria are at. ☟︎︎︎
I bowed to them. And we sat down. Mrs.Valmoria: So this is Jessica Davis, A very simple and elegant lady.
Mrs.Kim Complimented me and i just smiled
Mrs.Valmoria: That's true indeed, By the way this is Bryce Valmoria, Our son. I shook his hand and smiled at him. By the looks of his eyes, he also seems hesitant.
Our parents kept chatting and chatting about their business and the wedding of course. I sat there uncomfortably. Mrs.Davis: Sweetheart, why don't you and Bryce walk to the park tonight. Its also a way to get to know each other. ☟︎︎︎
I just nodded and me and Bryce head outside.
We walked around the park but none of us dared to speak.
Bryce: You seem forced to this. He said. Jessica: Yeah, i really don't want to disappoint my parents or else i would suffer. ☟︎︎︎
Bryce: "Well, you aren't alone. I didn't want to do this because of a special person."
Jessica: "Not being nosey ok, but who's that special person."
I asked him while we headed to a near bench to feel more comfortable.
Bryce: "My girlfriend, I don't know when or how to explain this thing that our parents set up, I don't want her to feel Broken, I atleast want to tell her that this for my parents, and I'll make it up to her, I mean you would feel bad for hurting your loveones right?"
Jessica: Of course, Same goes to my boyfriend. I hate myself by agreeing to this plan.
He just nodded at me and smiled at me faintly.
Bryce: "Let's go back, They might be looking for us".
I nodded, While standing up, i tripped over and fell on Bryce's Chest that made our lips accidentally touched. I pushed him gently.
Jessica: I'm so sorry Bryce i-
I stopped when someone called my name from the side.
Justin: Jess?
I looked at him that we made eye contact. He looked at me with disbelief. He ran and i tried to follow him. But i apologized to Bryce again
Jessica: Im sorry again really.
Bryce: It's ok, it's just an accident, Now go follow him.
I thanked him and ran to Justin.
