Chapter 3 - His love for me

I didn't know if he liked me. I didn't want to ask I was too scared for the negative answer. I didn't think that he didn't like me because of the way he treated me, he was so nice and delicate. I was ready for our marriage to happen, but I wasn't sure if my feelings for him still be there if he did something wrong. I didn't want to make any more bad opinions about him. Overall, I thought he was a good guy, very polite and deferential, didn't shame me for anything.

After we were standing in the gas station parking lot for about fifteen minutes it started pouring rain he quickly said to me to get in the car, he even opened the car door for me. The rain got us both soaked. Then he turned to me and said:

''I think I should drive you home before you get sick," He said while he was starting the car.

''That would probably be a good idea because I feel a little cold,'' I said while I started shivering.

'' I can see that you are cold, put the blanket on and wait here for a bit,'' He said and went quickly into the gas station.

I couldn't see what he was doing there, but I started to feel even colder and my hands were icy cold. I saw him too buy something and he was holding something in his hands. I couldn't see very well because the rain was still pouring very hard. I only saw him when he got out of the gas station store and he quickly ran to the car and got in. He got fully soaked. He got in the car and said:

''Here drink this, this is a hot tea. I didn't know if you drink coffee so I got you tea and some snacks for you to snack on while I will drive you home,'' He said and he sounded so apprehensive.

''Oh thank you, but wouldn't it be a better idea for my dad to pick me up I don't want to make you any problems?'' I asked.

"Don't worry I will drive you home and then I could talk to your parents about today and apologize,'' he answered me.

''Ohh, umm okay I will call my mom to tell her that you are going to drive me home,'' I replied.

We started driving and I called my mom to tell her. She picked up the phone as said:

''Hey is everything okay with you, why are you calling me, did something happen?" She asked me. My mom sounded very concerned I didn't know if my father told her that something bad happened.

''Hi mom, don't worry everything is fine, I am okay. I just wanted to call you to tell you that I am coming home and Nicolas is driving me home because it is raining heavily and we are both soaked,'' I replied.

'' Ohh okay sweety we will be waiting for you both,'' She replied and sounded happy.

" Okay sounds good to us,'' I replied.

We were almost halfway driven to my house and it started to rain very hard. Nicolas had to stop at the side of the road because we couldn't see anything. As we waited for about 5 to 10 minutes I got a lot colder and colder. I didn't want to say anything to Nicolas because I didn't want to stress him out even more, but I thought I should say something except that he looked very stressed. He was looking around to see if the storm was calming down and he looked surprised. I heard him say one thing and I think I have had passed out. I woke up at my house under FIVE different blankets to keep me warm. I felt really warm and comfy and I didn't want to leave my bed, but I had to because I heard someone talking behind the door. I thought that behind the door there was my mom talking to my dad and I figured that I should get up to talk to them and then I heard a voice say to me not to move and stay in bed. I didn't realize that it was Nicolas voice I thought I have schizophrenia. Nicolas was sitting in my room, in my chair by the window and when I saw him going up to me he looked so hot I thought I would pass out again of the beauty of my future husband. He tucked me in and told me to go anywhere and he left my room. Seconds my mom invaded into the room and my dad came after her, but my dad first checked the door if it was okay after my mom burst into my room.

She started asking me questions:

"Did you eat this morning? What did you eat? Why did you faint? What have you had to drink?'' She asked. She didn't seem mad and could see the concern on her face.

'' I drank only coffee and tea, coffee was at home and home, and the tea I drank that Nicolas had bought me because I was cold, but I don't think I was from the drinks," I replied.

'' Well did you ate some breakfast?'' She asked again.

'' Yes I ate breakfast and I was full,'' I responded.

'' Well you had to have something or did something for you to faint,'' She was started to get irritated.

" I didn't have something that made me faint!'' I said as I started to feel weaker and weaker by a minute.

'' Wait... ARE YOU PREGNANT?!'' She asked.

'' No mom, I have never dated a guy how can I be pregnant? By Jesus?!'' I retorted and joking asked her.

" OMG, why are you getting this pale are you feeling okay?!'' she asked and looked very shocked.

'' No, I don't feel okay I think I have a cold, can you check my temperature?'' I asked and felt cold sweat on my forehead.

'' You are feeling hot," She said as she ran to get the thermometer.

She checked my temperature.

''102℉ that's strange did you catch a cold?'' My mom asked.

Then Nicolas politely intervened and said:

'' I'm sorry, ma'am, we were standing outside and it started to rain, but I got her in the car quickly so she wasn't soaked by the rain, but I noticed she was cold even when we driving away from my uncle,'' He said to my mom.

''Oh okay I understand,'' She responded.

''I think you have caught a cold, you better stay in bed. I will leave you two to talk for a bit,'' She said.

My mom looked a bit relaxed and not worried that I was pregnant or something. When my mom left the room Nicolas came up to my bed and sat at the left side of it. He took my hand and put it between his hands. His hands were so warm almost hot. He looked happy that it was only cold and nothing more and at the same time sad because I had have caught a cold.

He looked at me smiled and said:

'' I hope you will feel okay soon I want you to officially meet my parents and especially my uncle that he doesn't chase us again like today,'' He said.

He smiled, he has the most perfect smile. I noticed that his hair was so much curlier than before and I said:

''Your hair is curlier than before. I like it,'' I said to him.

'' Oh really? Maybe because it was wet,'' He said jokingly.

He sat by my side for fifteen minutes and we talked, and laughed, then my mom came in and brought us some tea to keep us warm. He accepted the tea and hold my teacup while I was trying to sit in bed to drink the tea. I sat up he gave me my tea and warned me that it can be hot and for me to be careful. I smiled and thanked him for caring about me. I didn't know what to say, I didn't want it to be the uncomfortable quiet.

He said:

'' I think I should go home now it's 1 pm and let you rest,'' He said to me.

'' Yeah I think it would be a good idea, your mom doesn't know where you are you should probably tell her,'' I replied.

'' Oh wait really, she doesn't know, I forgot about it,'' He said and started laughing.

'' Well then okay I will leave you to rest and if you need me just text me I know you have a phone, ask your mother to give my number to you so we could talk,'' He said.

At this moment I knew he liked me and he cared about me, I said bye to him and he leaned over and kissed me on my forehead. I have never felt this good in my entire life. It was the best moment of our meet-up, I just wished he could stay longer. Then my mom came into my room.

She asked:

'' I heard his crazy uncle has have found you guys and wanted to me you, but why did you run away from him?'' She asked.

''I don't know why I think he didn't want me to meet him. I am pretty sure I wasn't ready to meet him.'' I responded.

'' Wel in some time you will have to meet him. By the way, Nicolas said to give you his number in case you need something from him,'' She said.

'' I know that I will have to meet his whole family officially, but I don't think I will meet them soon,'' I said to her.

'' Well, I think you two will be a great couple after you get married,'' She said.
