Chapter 2:I love Emma
In a bar in New York
Alexander Miles glanced at Jason with pity "bro please stop drinking, enough of this look at yourself for God sake, is not the end of the world your mother is not asking you to get married to a stranger at least " he said .
Jason Harrison was so drunk that he couldn't even stand on his feet.
Alexander continued to say " in my opinion Isabella is nice after all she was our childhood friend before she moved away, my impression of her never changed, there was one time she even helped me, she's so sweet and pure at heart" he said sincerely.
Jason sneered " that was then she must have changed by now, after all it's so hard to see decent girl this days accept for Emma, moreover I don't want to get engaged to her am so young, I don't want to be trapped at such a young age and you know that I love Emma.I really don't know what to do now ,am confused, I can't say know to my mom the doctor said we must make her happy all the time before the surgery and she mustn't be stressed out " he said .
Alexander sighs as he patted Jason on his shoulder " stay strong bro, come on I will drop you home " he helped Jason up.
On their way home Alexander asked " so when is the engagement ? "
Jason looked outside the car window " my mom said it is in the next few weeks" he said gloomily.
Alexander sighs loudly he felt pity for Jason his caught up between his mom and girlfriend.He knew that Jason will do whatever his mom asks him to do ,after all who will choose his girl over his mother .
When Jason arrived home, Alexander offered to help him up but he refused him, while he was heading upstairs he staggered and almost fell luckily the maids were close by and they quickly held him.
Jason felt dizzy he mumbled " do not hold me am not drunk ,leave me " they immediately let go of him they had to obey his orders after all his the young master of the family he managed to climb up on his own
The Housekeeper sigh and said to the maids "why is madam forcing young master to get engaged ,I feel pity for him after all his till so young and youthful"
"I think madam knows what's best for a young master," the maid said.
Back in his room ,he laid down and covered himself with a quilt ,he felt even worse now he was getting dizzier, at that moment his mom walked into his room with some hangover pills she gave it to him
She looked at her son with a soft look. " Son, I heard from the housekeeper that you are drunk , everything am doing is for your own good I hope you will understand soon"she said rubbing his hair.
" Uhmm " he mumbled.
She watched him as he quickly fell asleep.
The next morning he felt better. He glanced at his phone. He was stunned when he saw a lot of unanswered calls from Emma Jackson he immediately called back. It rang for a while before it was finally picked.
Emma's angry voice was heard over the phone "I called you 30 times last night and you didn't return any of my calls until now, what were you busy with? Oh I think I know the answer, my boyfriend is getting engaged to another woman" she sounded sarcastic over the phone.
Jason was dumbfounded and he began to stutter w..what nonsense who said that to you " .Am gonna kill Alex he has such a big mouth he thought to himself .
Emma snorted "your engagement invitation is everywhere my family was sent one too,all my friends are questioning me about it.some said I was just a tool ,some called just to mock me and even some girls who are obsessed with you harassed me today when I went for my morning exercise am now the target of gossips I couldn't even sleep last night,while you were busy enjoying yourself "she said sobbingly to him.
He frowned slightly, he was stunned that his parents had arranged everything so fast , Jason felt guilty " Emma don't listen to them, I love you so much, I never used you neither will i let anything bad happen to ....
She quickly interrupted him " just give me a straight answer, are you really getting engaged ? Yes or no" she said.
He hesitated but he answered honestly " yes it's true but....
She ended the call immediately,he tried calling back several times but it was switched off. He started feeling anxious.
He quickly freshened up when he came downstairs. His parents were already sitting in the dining room. He greeted them and took his seat.
Mrs Harrison glanced at him “ son how are you feeling today?“anyways you have to go see Bella I think you should go catch up with her little it's been 10 years since you last saw her, oh yeah I set a date for you both I made reservations at that restaurant close to your school by 6pm ,Bella will be attending your school too, she's a freshman so you will be responsible for her when you start the semester ” she said.
