She had fallen for him. Jennifer didn't know when though. Maybe it happened when they first met, or maybe it was after they had gotten along. The point was that being with him gave her that feeling she never felt before. She thought she was just too immersed in her character, or maybe it was because she spent too much time with him. But after going days without talking with him, she realized she had fallen for him.
Bryan was holding her hand tightly. He heaved a sigh and mustered his courage to confess, "I like you, Jennifer. I really do."
Jennifer had no idea how to describe what she was feeling. She was nervous yet excited. She looked at Bryan. "Are you serious about this?"
Bryan nodded. "Yes." He kept looking at her quietly, waiting for her response. His heart was thumping furiously for the first time in his life. It felt like his heart would burst out of his chest. However, Jennifer didn't show any delight or anger even after a moment, and it made him anxious. He held her hand and put it against his chest before asking nervously, "What about you? What do you feel about me?"
Jennifer pretended to be calm and looked at him. "So are you confessing to me?"
Bryan didn't care about that question. He just knew he had someone he liked. He said, "I like you. So are you gonna date me?" He was still nervous while asking her that. He didn't want to be rejected if possible.
"That depends on what you do." She cocked her eyebrow. Girls, or at least Jennifer, loved the chase. She wasn't evil though. She would never give any man the chance to woo her if she didn't like them. It would be bad to waste their time if she didn't like them. However, she was fine with it if the guy who was wooing her was the one she liked.
Bryan patted his head and chuckled. "I'll be wooing you from now on. Until you say yes."
"I'd like to see that. I don't say yes that easily." Jennifer turned around right away.
Bryan took a step forward and pulled her into his embrace. "Oh, then I'll just keep going at it until you say you like me too. I won't give up until you're mine."
Jennifer smacked his hand. "Hey, don't treat me like an object."
Bryan nodded. He changed his tune, "Alright, until I'm yours then." He chuckled. "I'll be Goku, and you'll be Chi-Chi. Just yell at me and I'll listen to you."
"They're married though, at least in the Z series. You wanna skip the dating process and get married that fast?" she teased. "What? You wanna make some babies already?"
Bryan had no argument left and just tightened his hold on her. "You sure can argue, but arguing is not the only thing the mouth is good for." The sensation of love finally awakened a secret side to Bryan—a flirty side. He smirked at Jennifer. "The mouth is great for kissing too."
