Chapter 23

Lily pov

I was sleeping peacefully then I realized someone was caressing my cheek very sweetly...i knew whose hand it was "hmmm Jake..please I want to sleep... don't " I heard him chuckle "sleepyhead wake up,it's already noon and you haven't eat anything.." "uggghhh why you have to wake me up Kingston ?" "Uh uh..call me fiancee ...love " "Huh?" Then I remembered about last night ..how we got engaged..how Chris create a scene..how I insult him in front of everyone...how I cried the whole night with guilt..."hey babe..are you alright.." "Huh? nothing I am .. just tired by all the arrangements I made and dancing like a crazy mess "  he didn't said anything for a second then nuzzle into my neck which make me moan "baby...you don't have to lie ..I know you are upset about last night chaos...you don't have to worry about anything ...I am here with you "

She push him and stood up "please Jake I don't want to talk about that anymore...it's past now...now you are my present and my future..so can we stop talking about him and whatever chaos  happened last night...I am just tired with all those things ...can we talk something else"actually she didn't wanted to be in guilt anymore so she decided to forget everything happened last night...so she can also forget his face...she needs to focus on her future..on Jake not on Chris 

Suddenly Jake hold her waist from behind and kissed her neck "sorry baby..I promise I will not talk about anything which displeased you...and now we should eat because I am hungry...and we need energy ..you know what I am saying" he slowly took his hand towards her breasts and start playing with her nipple's "whoa boy..you need to calm down your little  buddy . And no more sex until i say so...now like a good fiancee you should make my breakfast...at the time I have to empty my bladder and have to bath..I am smelling bad " "oh yeah...no more sex...common on love even you know that you can't resist me..and your every smell tempt me or should I give you a demo..." "Kingston do you want to sleep on the floor ?" "Okay mam...I am going..you go freshen up and I am going to kitchen.."he peck her lips which made her laugh ..."now go ..I have to wash myself..." He was about to go then stopped "you know babe the offer is still available..you can find me all naked with my buddy who is always hard for you...with wearing only apron...what do you say.." She throw her pillow at her face "kingston ..go..." "Okay okay I am going..jeez you are becoming more wild." She laughed at his sillyness..." That's the life I have always wanted but it's now with another person..but I will not let this happiness go ...I will not let this moment fade for anyone. Lily you have to be happy for Jake..for both of your future."

While they were eating she saw Valerie came to meet them. "Hey v..what's up..." "Seriously you are eating breakfast? In lunch time?wow..Jake you are spoiling her..." "I have all the right to make my girl spoil as much I can..my queen deserves it " he kissed her head which made Valerie pity at him. How he love her so much but lily is still stuck with Chris and Chris is having the same pain.

"Hey V...did you come here to watch his silly act!" " What! Can't I come to meet my friend for no reason?" "Ya girl you obviously can come " "actually I asked her to come because I have to go for a meeting and couldn't cancel it at the last minute so I have to go but I thought I could call Valerie to spent some time with you" "o..Kay..well you are right about calling her here..you can go..we will have our fun" "are you sure? I can stay if you want" "Kingston!" "Okay okay I am going..now give me my energy " "what.." he took her in his arms and kiss her passionately"whao...please guys spare my single eyes... Now go Jake we have party to do " "hey Don't be jealous v... it's not my fault that you are single " "Jake ...shut up" "bye love... enjoy guys"

Now Jake was gone Valerie thought to execute her plan "hey lily...I was wondering are you alright?" "I know what you are wondering..but no I am not alright..but I am trying to.." "don't you think you should at least talk to him? there may be more story on his side." "What story?v what are you implying to say...that I should feel guilty that I behave with him like that?but why? it was his fault that punch Jake when it was not his fault..how dare he?" "I know it was not Jake fault but didn't you see that Chris was hurt..you know him very well lily.. everyone saw pain in his eyes..you used to know his every pain,his every happy moments,his thoughts so why you are ignoring everything as if it doesn't bother you anymore?" "Because it doesn't...I don't feel anything...I don't want see his anything..any feeling...and why should I see?and why are you siding him, didn't you see what he did to me?"

"I know what he did and did not but I was also there when he was begging you to stop ...can't you see he wants to rectify his mistake?and I am not siding him plus  I am your friend . I want your happiness which is only can be seen when you  will be with him ,again. Only you both can fill each other. Lily..(sigh) why are you fooling yourself..why are you giving Jake false hope when your mind and heart and soul  is still stuck and are all fill with Chris and only Chris."

"Can't you see v I am happy... Can't you how he treat me.. don't you want me to move on?can't you see me happy..I mean all this time you have supported me...all this time you knew all along about Jake,me ,about us...you were happy for us..so what happened in one night...what happened to you?"

"I admit all this time I have supported you..but I think you forgot that I have also always told you that you have lost your true self when you left this place,it's memories,your Chris."

"You are wrong,I didn't left him...he left me...he pushed me..and Jake engulfed me... " "But..but did you once thought what would have happened if you once look back to see if you are wrong...if he is okay...did he truly meant it ? I thought you knew him better than anyone else..then what happened...don't you think it's also your fault?"

"Please v I don't want to talk about that now...I don't want to hurt him..he loves me too much and I also care about him and he makes me confident ...he makes me feel I am the only one and only he can makes me happy no one else"

"But are your happy,are you in love with him,do you feel calm in his arms...do you think you can spend your whole life without any hesitation, without nay doubt in Jake arms. Are you that confident? because I don't think cause you are running,from yourself,from the past,from true love. You have become stubborn and you don't want to believe,you don't want to admit that you were wrong...now you are pushing your happiness and only you can fixed it otherwise you will ruin 3 lives...lily please try to understand...it could be all misunderstanding...it could be only your imagination..the truth may be something else...

And you are talking about feeling confident and all that ..ya I agree you are now a change person...but you are not yourself anymore..not the person I used to know...I became friends with...we all loved you because you were innocent,sweet ,selfless in your own way. You knew how to love and return the love with double intensity...there was no hide and seek,no doubt,no giving up. You remember that how I used to say that you should give up ,he doesn't feel anything for you but you ...you used to say that I know my Chris..I don't know and I will not give up. So..you are saying that Jake makes you feel confident but back then you were not confident on yourself but you were confident on your love...on your friendship,on your Chris...who was not only your friend but also your healing power,your pain relief,your reason to smile,to be yourself,when you were with him you used to be funky, careless but not bold. Now you have become bold , confident but you are not sure about your true feelings,you are not sure about your future,you are not sure about whether you are doing wrong or right...your heart says you can't see any pain on Chris but your stubborn mind is saying the opposite and that's why you are running ...running because you are scared ..scared to feel pain,scared to get rejected,scared to lean on him again because even you know that this time your heart will not stop and run into his arms and this time you can't stop yourself...even your souls know that you belong to each other..so stop running because you are hurting each other.. lily...please..."

"Stop...stop..stop...stop it I say v...I don't want to hear anything about him..not from you..not from any one..don't you see I am engaged...I am belongs to Jake..not any Chris...I will not betray with Jake..I will not leave Jake ..I will not insult his love for me like how Chris insult my love for him..I .am.not.like.him...and I am not running...I am finally moving on...I am finally settling with someone who knows how to treasure me. How to respect whatever I do for that person...so stop telling me..what should I do or not v ... otherwise you can't stay in my life anymore."

Valerie was shocked with her outburst but she also knew lily will also react like that so she decided to stick with plan B and she was sure this will definitely successful.

"Okay... I understand and you know what ...you are right...I should be happy by seeing your new happiness.. actually I was just concerned about your thoughts... whether you are sure to tied into a marriage with Jake or not. I don't want you to regret...but now when you are sure..your happiness is my happiness...i am with you and I am sorry I react like that. I shouldn't have cause you pain..I am sorry lily but don't you dare to remove me from your life. "

"It's ok...and I know you want my happiness just like always. I am also sorry about my sudden outburst but I am also very thankful that you finally understood me. And that's all matter..."

"So all okay, right?" "Ya everything okay...now give me a hug" "thank God I got tensed you know..."they hugged each other "okay now when Jake is not here..finally..hehe..why not we visit some new restaurant which food I heard so good..." "Really ?where ?'" "for that we have to go with my car...cause it's little far from here..but all matters that we will get to attack some yummy food. So ...are you ready?" "Ay ay captain...(giggle)" "then get ready lily ...I am waiting for you " "okay..."

When Valerie realize she has gone to her room she immediately message Alex.

Alex...plan B...I am coming with lily..you have to be ready...

Okay...I am ready..you just have to give me sign..

After half an hour later..they both get ready for their way to restaurant. Valerie was driving while both of the girls were singing their favorite songs. After some time Valerie suddenly stopped her car.

"Hey v what happened." "I don't know lily..I have to check it .. damnit what happened to my car...it was okay in the morning...wait let me check..." "Okay...if you need any help then call me okay"

Valerie step out from the car then she start looking for Alex..when she got message from him she knew it's time.

On the other hand lily was waiting in the car then suddenly she realised v was not in front of the car. She was about to step down then suddenly someone entered into the driving seat. She realised it was not v

"Hey what are you doing here...where is v.." "I am sorry ..lily..but I have to do this..." "Wait...ummmm, ummmm." when  Alex  realize she get unconscious and then she nod at Valerie. "I am sorry but it's good for both of you...and it's for the best"with that he start the car to Chris mansion.
