Chapter 6 - “Should I?”

Stef's POV 

"Wait for me, let's go together" I said to Jennifer, who was walking slowly and seductively towards the bathroom.

She bit her lips and signaled me to come along quickly. I went into the shower with her and came out twenty minutes later. 

She looked really good in her pink towel and her hair tied up in a bun. 

I sat on the bed while she laid her head in my lap. Stroking her forehead and singing softly to her, she couldn't help but smile. 

"Oh, do you still talk to Danny?" she suddenly asked me, getting up from my laps immediately and starting into my eyes.

I placed my hand softly in her chin, "no baby, I don't. I hate her now and I only have eyes for you". I said with so much emotions written on my face.

I laid down beside her, using her tummy as a pillow. I suddenly had flashbacks to the time I did this with Daniella. It was a feeling of Deja vu. I got up immediately and walked towards the kitchen to grab a glass in wine. 

"Do I miss her or I miss her presence?" I asked myself, tilting my head to the side slightly before heading back to the room.

Jenny was fast asleep, I laid down beside her and drifted to sleep.

"Something smells good" I said as soon as I woke up.

I turned to the side but Jenny wasn't beside me. I got up quickly and followed the aroma. She was cooking.

I suddenly remembered Daniella used to cook for me like this and my heart felt heavy for a bit. I walked up to her and gave her a kiss.

"Daniella is still a better cook" I said to myself while eating slowly. 

Thank God she didn't hear me or that'll be the end of me. We are on a vacation in Paris, I saved up for a long time to bring her here just to impress her. We've been together for more than a year. I loved her so much and loved Daniella the same way too. I proposed to her to keep her with me for a while but didn't expect her to make the first move. I still loved her, but the idea of getting married to her and being average forever pisses me off. 

"But…why would she bring up marriage so easily, that's my role. Why would she do that and just ruin everything for me?" I said to my best friend while on a call with him. 

"Thank you for helping me stage the whole earring situation, it really worked. Now I'm finally free from her" I added. 

We talked for a while and I hung up quickly when I heard footsteps approaching.

"Who were you talking to?" Jenny asked, smiling at me as she sat on my lap. 

"Oh, it's no one," I said to her with a smile. 

"I'll need you to talk to my mom today, she's been wanting to hear from you since forever" I added. 

She got up immediately and stormed out of the room. I chased after her. I grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me.

"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Did I say something wrong? What did I do?" I asked all at once.

"You didn't even ask me if I was ready, you know I'm struggling mentally, why do you want to add this to the list of things on my mind. You promised not to rush me but that's exactly what you're doing" she said with tears in her eyes.

I pulled her closer to me and hugged her tightly. 

"I'm sorry baby, I won't rush you. Take your time" I said in a low voice, barely audible. 

Everything felt really weird, the anger and tears from Jenny. I've never seen those. I tried to be more careful and put her feelings into consideration because I truly want to get married to her.

"Bye, I'll text you when I get there" Jenny kissed my cheek and left hurriedly.

I watched her leave with admiration in my eyes. Soon, my thoughts shifted back to Daniella. 

"Should I call her?"
