BEING FOLLOWED

Brent had waited for this response from the very first day he invited her to stay at his apartment.

His heart hurts knowing his parents are looking forward to having a grand wedding for him, but what choice they gave him, their wedding for him is not his choice.

Recalling his previous proposal and her rejections has grieved him so much, 'If I wait she might change her mind. Now that she agrees I have accomplished my goal and I am very satisfied.

Deep in his heart, Brent knew that eventually, they would get to know Jessy and they would also love her and accept her into the family.

With that thought in mind, Brent kissed her, he felt his entire body coming alive, knowing that was what had drawn him to finalize his decision.

Releasing her, Brent took a deep breath to calm his mind, still in his embrace he whispered, "I can't wait for when you would like to get married and become the newest addition to the Larson family?" 

Jessy was happy that he was happy, but for her own protection, she needed to take every precaution. 'I don't want this marriage to go viral and be exposed. Though matter what, this marriage must not be disclosed.'

Hugging him, Jessy asks sweetly, "I hope you don't mind, and I know according to the law I should accept the Larson's name, but for now, I want to remain Albert. until your parents accept me wholeheartedly." 

 Brent didn't care, he didn't allow that choice of hers to disrupt his plan. 'Larson or Albert, she would still be mine and remain at my side,' "As you wish, but I am ready to tell the world." 

Jessy could see his excitement but her heart was still a bit hesitant. "Good for you, but right now my stomach is having a serious controversy, can I eat now?"

Brent kissed her first then said, "Yes, my love and you can feed me as well and eat as much as you like."

Seeing she nodded her head, Brent said, "You just go a freshen up first and I will go and buy us dinner to celebrate, what you say?"

Jessy looked at the eggs that had gotten cold, she hated cold eggs but what choice did she have now? She also wanted some time to think alone, so with a smile, she happily agreed. So what if I have to dump the eggs?

When Brent said, "Honey, you can just store the eggs for me later, I know you don't like to waste food but I want to celebrate."

 Observing his excitement, Jessy smiled in agreement, "Sound wonderful, I am worn out and I am starving."

Brent decided to get her a beautiful dress so he rushed to the mall. He bought himself a new suit and got her a beautiful white dress and shoes. He was so anxious and busy walking out holding the gift bags when he saw the jewel shop.

He rushed in and selected a beautiful diamond ring set for her, ignoring the many zeros and a matching set for himself. Grabbing the bags he rushed out of the mall 

Unaware that he was noticed and was being followed by these two men. Brent recalled the main reason for coming out, was to get dinner, so he stopped suddenly.

Greg who wasn't paying close attention to his movement didn't want to lose him again, he unexpecting bumped into Brent, pushing him forward.

Unable to control his balance receiving the sudden push, he was falling face down. Brent closed his eyes hoping for the impact, when he felt a hand grip his hand firmly, but all the gift bags in his hand fell. "Oh dear, I am so sorry, let me help you pick up the bags.."

Brent was so angry he pushed the person away, "Don't touch those bags I don't like people touching my belongings."

Grabbing the gift bags up before turning around to see who held his hand and saved him from falling flat on his face.

When he saw Roland and Jason at his side he felt sincere gratitude but all that was on his mind was, "Did they see me when I bought the ring?' 

Brent decided to divert Roland and Jason's attention, he immediately instructed them to handle the gentleman who bumped into him as they saw fit.

Jason immediately followed his order and grabbed the gentleman's hand.
