My brain can’t grasp the thought that I’ve agreed to date Josh. I don’t regret saying yes. I love him and I want him. As I told him, there’s no point in denying my feelings for him. I thought I can avoid dating, but it turns out that Josh is the one who moved my heart, who made me change the whole way I look at dating.
When I’m with him, happiness automatically finds its way to me. He doesn’t even have to try. Just the tiniest gesture from him makes me over the moon. I never thought I’d meet somebody who would have this effect on me; not at such an early age like that. I’m just nineteen.
“Call me once you get there, yeah?” Josh says as he shoves my suitcase into the trunk on my car. When it comes to my being on the road, he is super nervous.“Don’t worry. I’m a good driver,” I assure him. He literally wanted to drive me to my parents’ place, scared that my bones may give up on me. My body has been in a good state lately, so there’s no need for him to worry about me. I’m all good now and my body is reacting well to the medicines I’m taking.“I
I’m meeting her family tomorrow. I’m really meeting her family tomorrow. Not as her friend, but as her boyfriend. My nerves are all over the place. I swear, I can feel my heart shaking in my chest. This step is too early. I didn’t plan for this. Yes, I know I’m bound to meet her family, but this is happening too soon. I’m scared that they might think that I am not the right man for their daughter. Of course, I know I’m not the one their daughter deserves, but they know nothing about my dark side. Taleen should be with another person. Somebody who won’t drain her energy. Somebody who isn’t too demanding. But she thinks I’m the best boyfriend she could ever ask for, and this breaks my heart.I will do my b
Josh and I walk inside after we bring the gifts he bought. The house is much warmer than how the weather is outside. My parents decided that we won’t have breakfast until he is here. They want him to be included through every single activity and I want that too. He is so nervous. I should be nervous since he is my first boyfriend and he is about to meet my family, but I don’t know why I am not nervous at all. I have this feeling in my guts that assures me they will love him.“Hey, Josh. Merry Christmas,” Layan says, smiling once she sees him. Layan already likes him. She has liked him since she first saw him.
Christmas this year was special. Spending it with Taleen and her family is something I’ve never imagined. It was fun and they were all welcoming. Meeting her family wasn’t the easiest thing for me, but it went smoothly. Her brother was indeed scary, and he almost made my heart drop because he appeared to hold a kind of disapproval towards the age gap between Taleen and me. In my point of view, I think it’s not huge; just three years.I’m back home now. I left on December 26th. The day I left I took Taleen out on a breakfast date. I let her choose the place since I knew nothing in her hometown. She chose a lovely place. We kept talking ab
Josh gave me the best New Year’s Eve. I was the happiest person on Earth that day. We danced, talked, laughed, ate, and kissed. Everything felt so good that I didn’t want the night to end. It was everything I’ve dreamed of and expected; something was beyond my imagination. A week has passed, and I still remember every single moment of this night.He went above and beyond when he bought me the dress. It looked so good on me. I loved everything about that night. It was perfect and unforgettable. However, I always feel like Josh is scared; I think he believes that I might run away from him, that I would be fed up and leave sooner or later. I don’t want to leave him. He hasn’t given me a single reason to leave. I just feel that he exhausts himself. He always thinks that he needs to think outside the box to win me when he can just win me by overcoming his addiction.I don’t want any expensive dates. I don’t want him to surprise me w
“If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to,” Josh nervously says. I’m literally zipping my bag and he’s extremely doubtful. “I don’t want you to be pressured. I don’t want you to feel forced. This is something you should never be forced to do,” he rambles as he paces around a little.I let out a heavy sigh and make my way towards him. I gently wrap my arms around his torso and look up at him. “Our flight is in five hours. I’m not going to back out now and you’re not forcing me to do anything, okay? I’m going with you because I want to, do you get that? So please, calm down.” I stand on my tiptoes and kiss his lips. “Plus, don’t you want to take me to LA? I’ve never been there!” I beam, keeping my eyes on him.I’ve never been the one who has the ability to hold eye contact with anyone, but I’ve learned that Josh becomes more confident when I loo
Taleen is fascinated by LA. I can see how much she’s amazed by everything around her just by looking at her face. It’s already seven-thirty, so the sun has set and the street lights are illuminating our surroundings, making LA more beautiful in her eyes. “I can’t wait till I walk down these streets,” she gushes, making me chuckle. “Pick a day and I’m going to take you shopping,” Avery tells her. “I can take her shopping,” I interfere, hoping that I wouldn’t be stuck at home without her even if it’s just for a few hours. “It’s going to be a girls’ day, Josh. Sorry, bro,” Avery says. She has made up her mind and nothing can change that. “Let the poor gi
Evan is one hell of a bitter sibling. Any blind human being can see that. It doesn’t take a genius to understand his true colours. How can’t his own parents see who he truly is? It’s crystal clear. He isn’t a sarcastic person, he’s offensive. There’s a difference. His greedy and mentally distorted mentality feeds on the pain of others. He failed to feed off me.He doesn’t like me because he knows I’m somebody he cannot mess with. He is sure of that. He won’t be able to get under my skin and I won’t let him hurt Josh in any way.Apart from Evan, Josh’s family is nice. His mum is over the moon to have her son with her in the family’s house. It’s obvious in the way she’s welcomed us and how she’s made sure that Josh is comfortable. Avery is so happy too. It’s like there are a lot of things she wants to do with her favourite brother and she has finally managed to find the right
