Ch. 29

It was already evening after the commotion. He drop me in our house and bid goodbyes. I was sitting in the couch, still staring at my middle finger where the ring is. I smiled and got startled when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and looked at the person. "Yah! Don't scare me like that, Jac!" I fixed my seat and make myself comfortable. "What's that? A ring?" he said, this kid really has his own world. Does his world doesn't have this kind of thing? "Obviously" I said as I rolled my eyes to him. "It's from Ethan, isn't it?" he asked hoping for true response. "Yup, he gave me this." The next thing I felt was like I feel like my soul came out for a second. "WAH! SOPHIE IS ENGAGE!!!" he shouted and I fell off the couch. Then, Auntie came down to see what happened. She got surprised when Jacob told her that Ethan propose to me. I shake my head in annoyance. "Is it true, Sophie? Did Ethan really?" I laughed. "Why would you think such kind of things, Jac? Is it bad if Ethan gave me a ring? Does it mean if Ethan gave me a ring, we're already engage? Does a word 'Promise ring' has in your world?" I said and laughed. "We're not, okay? He gave me this ring as a promise. We are not yet ready for marriage. We are still going to build a business. We still need to enjoy the time left being free." Then Jacob got sad. "Yah! I thought Sophie is getting married." Auntie carol went back to her room. I laughed at Jacob sulking. "Btw why are you here?" I asked while getting some popcorn in the fridge. "Manager let me go home. So that's the reason I am here." He said and I nodded. I took my laptop to watch some movies. "Want to join me?" I asked then his face lighten up. "What kind of movie?" he asked, not wanting to watch horror movie. "Horror. Why are you afraid?" I teased him and he defended himself. "N-no I'm not." He scooted closer to me and took the pillow from me then hugged it. "It shows the opposite Jac" I said and played the movie.
