WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10

EPISODE 10

The next day, Jane and Jeffery went to swim at the hotel pool, where they lounged lazily for hours. After which, they w

which actually turned out to be an actual shopping, because Jeffery insisted she took almost every dress she admired.

“Babe, remember we are going for wine tasting this evening by 7” Jeffery said as they both sat down watching a movie with a bowl of popcorn on Jane’s laps.

“Yeah, I remember. I still haven’t made up my mind on what to wear”

“How about that red gown we got today? It goes with the strap heels” Jeffery said with a coy smile on his face.

“Something tells me you made me pick that dress and shoe, just so you could ask me to wear it this evening”

”You can’t deny the fact that you like the dress too” he kssed her.

By 7pm, Jeffery was already dressed in a black pant and a long sleeve shirt which he didn’t button up fully. He was watching TV, waiting for Jane who was in the bathroom applying her make up.

When she stepped out, Jeffery couldn’t wipe off the grin on his face, for she looked incredibly beautiful in the red dress which had stones all over the body making it glitter under the light, and it hugged her body, stopping a little above her knee.

Jeffery whistled as he saw her “wow….. You look incredibly beautiful in this dress”

“Thank you” Jane said with an air of pride.

“Turn around let me see you” Jane obliged him and turned around, then she walked up to him “you look incredibly handsome too tonight”

Jeffery bent and kssed her “I suggest we start going, before I changed my mind and took this dress off”

When they were done with the wine tasting, on their way back, Jeffery received a call.

“Hey babe, why don’t you go on? this is a work call and it might take a bit long” he kssed her on the forehead and went out to answer the call, as Jane stepped into the elevator.

When Jane opened the door to their suite, something wasn’t quite right, the light was off and they usually left it on. She turned on the light to find a note close to her feet and some rose petals on the floor forming a sort of an arrow. She picked up the note and opened it. It was handwritten.

”Remember the first time we met? it wasn’t a regular love at first sight, but that event changed my life, follow the petals my love”

Jane smiled as she followed the petals to the sitting room remembering her first encounter with Jeffery, and she found another note on the table.

“Remember the first time we kssed? Having your soft lips against mine was a loving experience. It still is every time I kiss you. it’s a feeling that never gets old. Follow the petals”

Jane traced the petals to the bedroom to find another note on the bed with petals around it forming the shape of a heart, the light in the bedroom was dimly lit, with scented candles similar to the ones at their yoga class last night. All of me by John Legend was playing in a very low volume on the sound system.

“Babe, having you in my life and falling in love with you, is one of the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Whenever you run through my mind, I can’t but smile, you brighten my day baby. I can’t wait to wake up next to you every morning, for the rest of my life. WILL YOU MARRY ME?”

Jane gasped as she read the last sentence, she placed her hands on her chest as she tried to still her raising heart.

“Will you?” Came Jeffery’s quiet voice from behind her. Jane turned to find Jeffery on one knee holding a ring in his hands.

“Oh my God, Jeff…” Tears rolled down Jane’s cheeks, the harder she tried holding them back, the more they came running down.

“Will you marry me and share forever with me?”

“Forever is a long time away, I want to share in your today, and your tomorrow and then we can throw in forever” she said smiling.

“Okay… I would love to…” Jeffery nervously spoke as he tried to remember all the speech he has been rehearsing to say to her. But the only thing he remembers is that he loves her, every other thing seems not to matter. “I love you Jane, and I would want nothing more than to make you my wife”

“Yes” Jane said smiling.

“Would you marry me?” Jeffery asked to be sure he heard correctly.

“Yes, I will marry you Jeffery Ademola” Jane stretched out her left hand to Jeffery, who took the ring and slipped it on. Then he got up and kssed her.

Jane stretched out her hand to look at the ring, she couldn’t believe she was engaged, and then she found out it was same ring she had admired in the page of a magazine few weeks back.

“Sweet… How did you know I liked this exact ring?”

”let’s just say…. I have my way” Jeffery kssed her on her neck.

”Jeff….?”

“okay fine, I saw you admiring it”

Jeffery has been making plans of proposing to Jane, but wasn’t sure on what type of ring she would like. So one day, while she was at his place, he took one of the fashion magazine she liked to read, and opened it to the page that had pictures of different engagement rings on it, then made sure to drop it where she would find it. making it look like breeze must have opened it to that page, and he sat down pretending to watch TV waiting for Jane to come downstairs.

When Jane came to the sitting room, she picked up the magazine and Jeffery made sure to watch closely as she admired the rings. He saw the way she smiled touching a particular one, before she closed the magazine, mumbling something about her forgetting to remove the magazine from the chair the last time she read it. Jeffery made sure to mark the one she admired, then contacted the Jewelry store, and bought the exact same ring.

“How come I never suspected a thing?”
