With her eyes red, Shirley said, "Well, Janet, thank you. I see."
And then tears ran down Shirley's face. But why? Why did she fall in love with Daniel?
Such a perfect man… He was her best friend's boyfriend. What should she do…
Janet didn't notice anything wrong with Shirley. She was excited, and tumbled in bed after hanging up the phone.
Daniel came back home half an hour later.
When he returned, Janet was on the bed, chatting with Sally, who was asking her whether she wanted to go to America or not.
Daniel jumped on her and grabbed her phone out of her hand. He then turned her over to face him.
Looking deep into her eyes, he kissed her seductive red lips.
"Daniel, stop it! Tell me first what my father said." She was not in the mood unless she knew what her father had said first.
He didn't mention of her father's fury, and just said, "At first he was angry, but later he agreed that you go to America with me."
"And then?"
"And then nothing else."
"What? Didn't he flare up? Or… didn't he threaten you to be responsible for me?" It should not have been like that.
Watching her confused lovely face, he smiled. "Of course he got angry, but I eventually made it out. The only thing that you need to care about right now is to be with me."
"How did you make it out?" She was really curious. If she was right, this time her father should have been in a furious rage.
"I told him that if you were willing to go with me, we could skip the engagement and get married immediately."
…
Did that mean that he really loved her? And that he was eager to marry her?
But… He had never said he loved her. His true love was someone else.
"Janet..." He whispered.
"What?" Janet looked at him in wonder. There was something wrong, and she felt a little bit nervous. But why?
"I love you!"
After a brief silence, Janet finally took control of her fast beating heart, and replied, "Well..."
"Jane..." He called her name again, in a sweet and soft voice.
"What?" She nuzzled close to him, and found it was embarrassing to meet with his eyes.
"I love you!" He said it sincerely.
Another short silence came. After, she said, "Daniel."
"Em, yes?" He was expecting her answer.
"Goodnight!" She said it sweetly, and gave him a kiss.
Still, the man got angry.
He rolled over on her, and asked, "Are you just inviting me?" This made him feel better.
"No! I meant it, otherwise. I'll go home right now!" Jane was so shy that she didn't know what to do or where to look.
"You don't have to go back home. Father has given you a month's holiday."
"What? Why?"
"No why's!" He interrupted and held her anxious little hands, while kissing her rosy and tasty ruby-red lips.
After a while, she said, "Daniel."
"Yes?"
"What's the relationship between us?" Janet honestly felt sad to ask such a question.
The man got off of her and held her in his arms. "Do you want to be my wife, or to be my wife?"
