I Choose You by Kemi Adejumo (mobile ebook reader TXT) 📖

“What do you mean today? I have not even packed my bags and Molly we said we would go shopping before the vacation. I am not prepared for this.” I complained

“Darling I already packed your bags” my mum said as she came into the room. “ And I already shopped for both of us . You know I won’t disappoint “ Molly said and I smiled at them. I can’t believe they did that for me.

“Awn thanks mum and you too Molly”

“It’s no problem darling, just go shower and get ready. I made a quick breakfast for you and your friends before you guys leave for the airport” my mum said before leaving the room

“I am coming with you mama, I miss your food “ Christian said while following her out.

“Hey!! She is my mama” I screamed at him and he stuck his tongue out at me before closing the door.

“Get ready fast” Molly said while leaving the room.

“You are going too?” I asked

“Yes, I miss your mum’s food too”

“But you…” she didn’t let me finished as she ran out of the room and closed the door.

I had my shower and dressed up really nice. I styled my curly hair into a cute ponytail and I have on a cute jump suit that Molly gifted me a while back . I was done and stepped out to the living room where everybody was gathered and ready to go.

“You ready?” Molly asked and I nodded my head. I scanned the room and the whole group was here. At least i am happy now, I have not been excited about something in a while.

“The breakfast was delicious ma’am” a voice said behind me and I froze.
I turned around and Evelyn was right in front of me.

“Oh hi Jessica “ she said waving at me but I didn’t reply. I dragged Molly by her hand into my room.  

“Hey what’s wrong?” She asked with a frown on her face.

“Why is she here?”

“What do you mean why is she here. Jess , she is Christian’s fiancée. Do you think he would leave his soon to be wife and go on a vacation?” She asked and I didn’t reply. I was looking forward to this vacation and for a minute, I forgot that Christian is engaged. It was supposed to be just five of us . How am I supposed to have a good time when I will be seeing Christian having fun with someone else?

The sound of the door interrupted my thoughts as Christian entered the room not looking pleased at all.

“Uhm Molly, can I talk to Jess alone please?” He said

“Uh sure “ Molly replied before leaving us in the room.

Now I was scared. He might be mad at me for not answering Evelyn. I kept playing with my fingers as my head was hung low. We are both seated on my bed but he wasn’t saying anything. The silence was so deafening and scary so I decided to go for it.

“I am sorry Christian. I didn’t mean to not reply her. I was just shocked to see her because…” before I could complete my sentence he cut me off.

“I know what you are doing Jess” He said and my heart skipped a beat .

“You do?” I asked.

“I know that you don’t like Evelyn and every other girls have dated in the past” he said and the fear that he found out something grew in my heart. “I know you are just trying to protect me from heartbreak and I love you for that “ he finally said and relief washed over me.

He pulled me into a hug and I immediately melted into his arms. I love this, I miss this so much.

“Please like her Jess, I promise that she is not like the other girls ” he said

“But why do you need my confirmation?”

“I don’t know Jess but then again, is there anything that I did without confirmation from you?” He asked and I smiled. It’s very true. He has to be sure that I liked everything he does and I feel the same. It is a best friend thing I guess.

“So please like her?” He said and I nodded my head.

“Thanks Jess” he said and squeezed me tight

“Too tight” I complained and he released me. 
“So ready to go?” He asked

“Wait, where are we going on vacation again?” I asked curiously

“It’s a surprise “ he said “ let’s go “ he wrapped his hands over my shoulder and dragged me out.

Ten minutes later, we were on the way. We stopped by a bus stop to pick Sharpay. Apparently, she was going too and Luke seemed happy about her.

We got to the airport and boarded a private plane.  It is actually Jake’s family private plane.  The interior was so nice and lavish.   The journey wasn’t so bad. We all talked and talked before we all took naps.
