When I saw this line of words, I finally heard footsteps.
Looking up, I saw Jason had stood there on the second floor of the viewing platform with a teddy bear, which was almost as tall as him, and then he began to get down.
As he walked, he said, "Janetta, I like you. I know you think I'm young, but I can grow up for you."
"I didn't know the feelings of liking someone before, but after I have seen you and got along with you for some time, I know what it is like."
"I want to see you all the time. I want to share my happiness with you at the first moment. I'm very happy as long as I can be at your side, I..."
When he said this, he had already walked down. However, when he saw I was crying, he was stunned and said nervously, "Janetta, why are you crying? I..."
I didn't wait for him to finish. I got angry suddenly!
I stood up, walked over, and raised my hand!
"Pa!" A slap was given on his face. I uttered, "Boring!"
Then I turned around and left.
Jason quickly put down the big bear in his hand and chased after me.
He ran so fast that he quickly grabbed my arm and apologized to me, "Sorry, Janetta, I..."
"Let me go! I have something else to do!"
I was very annoyed.
However, Jason refused. "I'm sorry, I'll let go unless you promise you won't be angry with me!"
He was holding my arm tightly.
I felt helpless and could only standstill. Fortunately, all the symptoms of discomfort had disappeared. I turned to look at him and said in a very calm tone, "Jason, I'm not angry."
"You're lying." I stopped crying, but Jason's eyes turned a little moister. "I'm sorry, I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't have done it on my own will. I thought girls would like that."
"You're right. Girls like it."
"But you don't..."
Said the young man in a low voice.
"I don't like it. I like the romantic way you said it, but I don't like you." I looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry, I found out your thoughts before, and I thought my hint was obvious, but you still misunderstood that."
"No." Jason was stunned. "I know you can't accept me, but people say that as long as a boy took initiative in pursuing, the girl will..."
"Maybe. It's a pity that I'm no longer a girl. I am already a woman, and I am mature now. I am years older than you, and I have experienced a lot."
Jason loosened his hand.
I was not in a hurry to leave, so I continued to say to him,"You are a wonderful boy who can take care of people very well. You like me because your family relied on you in the past, while I don't. Getting along with me, you can do things at ease. You won't have pressure or burden, and I won't ask for anything from you."
"No, I like you, I..."
"But I don't, and never will. My heart is filled with another person, and I can't even spare any place for others." I said with a smile, "You are a good boy, and there will be a girl who is suitable for you."
After that, I turned and walked in the direction of the car.
Jason stood there and looked at me. His eyes were moistened and his face was full of unwillingness.
When got in the car, I started it, but then I lowered the window and said to him, "Thank you for taking care of Glenn during the past half a year, but you don't have to come today. You can take your things away when you are free."
After that, I stepped on the gas pedal and drove away.
In fact, I could understand the intention of Jason. He must have prepared this for a long time.
If a young girl faced such a thoughtful and handsome boy's love confession, she would have no resistance.
