"What are we doing here?" Kara asked impatiently, glaring daggers in Jasper's way.
He just rolled his eyes as if she was a damn child who was trying to be difficult to have her way.
"It's your wedding in less than a month. There is lot of stuff that is needed to be done. And the answer to your question, we are here for a ring shopping," Amelia spoke.
"I don't want any ring."
The words were barely out of her mouth, and Jasper grabbed her arm pulling her towards him. She collided with his hard chest, and a gasp escaped her mouth. He brought his one hand up and tucked her hair behind her ear. Leaning towards her, he grabbed the back of her neck, and jerked her face towards him. Their faces were mere inches apart. She felt tingles in her body, and these sensations were foreign to her. Even with William, she never felt the intensity of emotions which she felt with Jasper.
She was not the fan of PDA, but in that moment everything seemed to be blurred except the fact that Jasper was holding her close.
"Don't create any scene, Kara. This marriage is inevitable, don't be a brat. Just pick any ring you want because I’m not going to be the loving and doting fiancé who would choose rings for the bride. Do it yourself and don’t create any drama in the public,” he spoke in almost inaudible tone just for Kara. The way they were standing – so close, was giving false hints to the people in the shop. It looked as if both were two love birds who were madly in love with each other.
Jasper leaned closer and kissed her left cheek, a gasp escaped from her mouth. She closed her eyes and felt as if she was melting in his arms. His lips lingered little too longer. She felt a foreign feeling in the pit of her stomach. She never felt this alive in years. He pulled back slowly and looked in her eyes. There was something in his eyes which made her the frenzy of emotions.
In this moment they felt as if they were the only people existed; everything else blurred in the background.
“What is happening to me?” Kara asked in meek voice.
He smirked, “believe it or not, but you have feelings for me.”
“No, I don’t”
“Don’t deny it, cara.”
“No, stop it, don’t. Please, stop this,” begged Kara.
“Kara. Hey, what’s wrong?” Jasper’s worried tone ranged in her hears, but she was no longer with him. Her mind was away, away from him and she felt as if someone was asking for her.
“Kara, please open your eyes.” Suddenly, she recognized the tone. It was Amelia’s.
Amelia shook her sister, and Kara opened her eyes panting hard. She looked around her for Jasper, but no one was there. She was in her room. It dawned on her that she was dreaming.
“Kara, now you are freaking me out. What’s wrong? Was it the same nightmare?” Amelia asked in shaky tone. She didn’t like seeing her sister suffering.
“Huh…” Kara was still in shock, she couldn’t comprehend the situation in front of her.
“Kara, please tell me what is wrong. You are now scaring the s**t out of me.”
Kara seemed to recognize her surroundings; she was in her room with her sister who was worried sick about her.
A lone tear escaped her eyes, and she engulfed Amelia in her embrace.
“Just hold me, and don’t worry, it was just a dream; not a nightmare.”
“Okay, you know you can tell me. I am always here for you.” She said still hugging her elder sister.
“I know,” they stayed like the same and then she released her from her hold.
“I dreamed about Jasper,” Kara spoke with lowered eyes.
“What about him?”
“We were in a shop. For ring shopping actually. Then we were suddenly close to each other. I…” she trailed off, not knowing how she was going to explain it to her sister.
“You felt something, something so pure that you never felt in your life.” Amelia completed for her.
“Yes. But I don’t want to feel this. Having feelings for someone only hurts. I don’t want to get hurt.” She whimpered.
“Kara, William is not here. You have to move on. Jasper is a nice man. He will take care of you. Please give this a chance for both of you; you and your baby.”
Kara’s hands went to her stomach, her baby was growing there.
“Lets sleep, Kara.”
They both lied down. Occasionally, they both shared room, and Amelia knew that her sister would need her. Amelia hugged Kara.
“Can I ask you something?,’’ Amelia asked a question.
“Hmm..,” Kara hummed in response.
“Why were you late today? And you were not answering the phone.”
Kara sighed, “there was an accident on the way, and a woman was injured. She had a child also, a boy, but he was fine. It was a deserted road, and there was no one else to help. My phone was dead, so I calling 911 was out of option. I drove them to hospital. And this is why I was late.
“Fine, are you satisfied now?”
“Aham.. very much.”
“Now, go to sleep. You have school tomorrow.”
“And you have a job day tomorrow. So Sleep, okay. No overthinking.”
“Amelia… stop reminding me. I totally forgot that I was asked to marry Jasper. But your ‘no overthinking’ phrase reminded me again.” Kara whined like a child.
Amelia giggled, “this is so amazing. You and Jasper. OMG! I can’t wait for the wedding.”
Kara squeezed Amelia in hug.
“Shut up, and sleep.”
“Okay, good night, have sweet Jasper’s dreams.”
“I will kill you Amelia,” she joked. “Good night, have peaceful sleep.”
