Late for love) Chapter 5
Menu
I’d never seen Grant like this. For all the past years he’d been calm and
composed. I never thought he would get
jealous.
I remembered everything I did in college to make him jealous. I heard that the one who took the initiative had no initiative, so I started playing hard to get and spending time with other guys.
But Grant remained unaffected,
walking past me without a glance. I
realized this didn’t work for him.
We came back to the way I used to be
around him. Six years passed in a flash.
Now, finally, I saw his jealousy, but it
was too late.
I took my phone, trying to explain,
but Wanda was one step ahead of me.“It’s
probably Rosie’s friend! Girls often call
some bestie husband!”
I didn’t correct her. I went back to my
room and called Jake. He began with
small talk.
“Did you eat?”
“It’s been raining in Austin. What
about Dallas?”
“Austin’s getting cooler. Bundle up!”
At first, I answered, waiting for him
to get to the point. But all he did was ask
me irrelevant questions. I finally snapped.
“What’s the matter? I’m hanging up.‘
“”
He finally became serious.“Do you regret it? Are you sure you want to marry me?”
“You went around the bush for this?”
I chuckled. He made a solemn “Mm“.
“You love your boyfriend, don’t you?”
I wondered how he knew about that,
but then I realized it was too obvious.
From the moment I met Grant, to my
persistent pursuit, my wedding
announcement, my sudden change of
plans- it was all on my social media. My
entire life revolved around Grant, making
Jake impossible not to know about him.
I shook my head. A long silence made
Jake nervous. He was afraid I’d say yes
and choose Grant over him.
“I… I don’t love him anymore.” Pausing, I added, “I’m marrying you, and I
won’t regret it.”
