Chapter 539: Let’s date for real

Jenny turned her head to Gavin and watched him fall silent instantly.

She could see how much of her silence hurt him. But she was too confused to come to any conclusion.

Yes she was starting to get used to Gavin’s presence in her life. She liked talking with him, spending time with him, however in the back of the mind she still couldn’t forget Landon.

As if while opening her heart to Gavin, Jenny assumed she was betraying Landon in anyway.

They vowed to love each other for eternity but God had another plans for them.

Landon left, leaving her all alone to succumb in the feeling of loneliness.

But then after so many years of isolation, she could finally see the light break into her secluded heart and she could finally see herself breathing into the life she saw she would never see coming.

As Jenny’s eyes captured his beautiful contor, Jenny turned around and leaned into him.

Her hand wrapped around his torso while her head leisurely resting on his chest,and she said.

"Give me sometimes. I am still confuse what I feel about you" Jenny voiced her thought frankly.

Gavin on the other hand gape at her surprisingly and watched her look up.

"Does it mean you-?" Gavin contemplated to say anything that would turned wrong but then he saw her smile.

"I want us to date, for real but there is something that you need to know" She finally declared leaving Gavin speechless for a moment but he soon composed and asked her to continue.

He knew what was Jenny going to say, however he remained composed and let her speak instead.

Jenny never wanted to reminse her past as it would always bring the pain she had suppress deep inside her heart.

It was painful to go through it again and again, but she knew, for her to entirely begin with Gavin, Jenny once again had to endure it.

Taking a momentary pause, Jenny took a deep breath and started.

"Landon MecLaren was my childhood sweetheart. Someone I loved more than my own life. My day used to begin and end with him, he was my only meaning of existence" Jenny words were like a stab to Gavin heart. His jaw clenched hearing her soothing voice as she describe the man she loved and suddenly he felt uneasy in his heart.

Gavin knew there was no way for him to be insecure as he already knew everything about Jenny and Landon but he couldn’t help but feel a void inside his chest everytime she mentioned his importance in her life.

Gavin was aware of her past but hearing her talk about it to him, overwhelmed Gavin in a weird way. He was jealous to see Jenny love and cherish someone to this extend that she refused to fall in love again.

As his mind wandered from her story for a moment, Jenny voice draw him back again.

"I thought we would be able to be together for our lives until he left me alone. He died sufferings from terminal cancer. At the age of eighteen he breath his last breath. It was his birthday that day and it also turned to be the day he died" Jenny recalled the smile Landon tried to force on his face, hiding the excruciating pain in his body.

She knew something was wrong but he masked his torment in a such a way that she started doubting herself.

And just like that after cutting the cake, Landon closed his eyes.

Jenny had held his hand that slowly slipped and he rested his head in her shoulder.

She knew everything was over the moment he didn’t answer her back and she finally realized that Landon was gone to never return again.

After that day, Jenny forgot the purpose to live. Landon was the only one who would make her smile, share her thought and after he was gone, she pushed herself to the darkness, barely surviving with the memories they created during all those years growing up.

Jenny could never forget him till this day and found it hard to move on assuming she was betraying Landon by opening her heart to someone else.

Gavin stayed silent, feeling every emotion Jenny went through while she talked about her past. He couldn’t imagine how she was able to overcome the pain, but didn’t everyone needs a second chance.

Through her words Gavin could feel the depth of her love for Landon. No doubt he was a nice guy, but would someone so positive want Jenny to remained stuck in that loop. Would he ever want her to keep living her life meaningless just because he was no longer with her.

No! Landon would never want that, then why couldn’t Jenny see the same.

As Gavin held Jenny closer to her heart, a sudden thought clicked in his mind and he asked.

"Am I a rebound for you to forget Landon"

Jenny shot her head up, staring at Gavin in disbelief.

Gavin didn’t want to make this difficult between them however, those words just slipped from his mouth.

Jenny was hurt to hear such words from him. It was never her intention to use Gavin as a rebound for Landon’s absence.

"No... I never thought of you that way" She refused to acknowledge his claim, making sure she sounded truthful.

Jenny would never use Gavin to forget Landon. They were two different people and she came to like them both.

However wasn’t it unfair to both Landon and Gavin that she couldn’t bring herself to love any one of them.

Gavin eyes fluttered when he saw the tears breaming in her eyes and he quickly pulled her back to him.

"You were never a rebound Gavin" Jenny cried in his arms, making Gavin regret the words he said.

"I am sorry. Please don’t cry" He pleaded, finding himself well up along with her.

Gavin was torn between Jenny’s feeling for him. He could tell there was no way for Jenny to forget her first love, but that didn’t mean he could make a place for himself in her heart.

Landon was her first love, but Gavin wanted to be her last.

Just when Jenny stopped crying Gavin made her look up. His grip under her chin was as delicate as her skin, however the burning intensity in his eyes were a clear indication of truthfulness.

"Let’s date for real" Jenny’s eyes grew a little wide however she bobbed her head in agreement.

Jenny wanted to know of her feelings for Gavin were true and weren’t out of courtesy or infatuation. The strong attraction she felt toward him wasn’t just an fleeing emotions instead they ran deep into her veins, however she was hardly able to acknowledge them.

A light tuck appear on the corner of his lips and Gavin ended up slamming her lips for another assuring kiss.

He wanted to work hard and make Jenny fall in love with him.

Jenny’s request itself was an indication that she too felt the same, however she was yet confused. And now he would make her forget the pain and show her how to live the life that she refused to accept after Landon passed away.
