I Think, I Love You
Just a friend

"Marry her"

Jere rounded her eyes, before long she chuckled softly as she was amusing at the words she had just heard, while Irene frowned in surprise when Jere's response was unexpected.

"Papa's not kidding!" jimmy said later, making Jere's laughter stop instantly. His black eyes looked fixedly at Eve and Jimmy alternately with a puzzled expression but at the same time looked for seriousness there.

"Why?" eve's question caught her son's doubt "Mama's sure Shania wants to marry you!" continue Eve later.

"Ah, no. I'm not her boyfriend!"

"Boyfriend or not is important you both want!" Jimmy took a sip of his coffee, then his gaze turned to Eve "We like Shania" he continued.

"That's exactly pa, we both don't want to!" firmly Jere.

"Don't lie, papa knows you liked Shania a long time ago"

"Ah no, she's not my type!" Jere gulped down the white water available there, he was thirsty, suddenly thirsty.

Jimmy and Eve just laughed at Jere's answer, everyone knew what was really going on, but for some reason Jere denied it all.

"You look tense Jer?" Jimmy asked after seeing the look on Jere's face flushed and looked nervous.

"You're battered like this, Shania is the reason?" ask Eve again as if it does not give Jere breathing space to prepare an answer that if not wrong if said. Jere felt that both of his parents had deliberately asked a trick question to get Jere to admit something they expected.

Jere sighed for a moment, no wonder Eve knew all this, it must have been a beautiful woman as if she did not age asking all the things that happened to her manager, otherwise, there was no way Eve was this calm when she saw Jere walking around with a face plastered and bruised.

"Ma, I just don't accept Shania at such a value by people" she said "As her friend, there's no way I'm silent on hearing all that" she continued.

"Yes, papa understands. Forget about that" Jimmy's turn to answer, ending the conversation that seemed to make Jere uncomfortable "You've eaten?" Ask and then change the subject.

"I went to my room, mom!" Jere got up and left them to his room. Eve and Jimmy just smile to realize their son is growing up. While Irene just silently listened to all the conversations that were going on in front of her.

Shania curled up on the sofa with an irregular smudge face. Broken heart more precisely tortures the inner to seep into his physical, the world feels dark, all looks gray nothing interesting. Even his favorite cartoon show did not make him laugh, he just let the TV on fill the room that only exists. Until the sound of the creatures in his stomach disrupts his daydream, then he was moved to touch the food that was brought Jere.

While in the other hemisphere, it appears a man is sitting on a sofa fitting room wedding dress happily, with happy, He sat faithfully watching a woman who went back and forth several times while trying on a dress he ordered.

"Hm, I don't think it fits in the neck" he said when the woman tried a mermaid dress with her neck wide open. The woman is Stella and the man is Tom, after that passed and replaced with another dress.

"What about this?"

"Hmm, too open" Tom refused

So on, every dress that Stella wore was lacking in Tom's eyes.

"How about this, if I'm tired like this!" Stella protested, her legs are sore and tired of unloading the dress that is not easy like wearing clothes in general.

"We'd better re-measure it and determine the model we want" Tom paused his speech when he found his phone ringing. He rattled his pocket and picked up the flat object. A missed call and a few messages on his phone screen.

"You shouldn't have told Shania about your plan"

"You don't have to see him here. I'll accompany her to your show"

Tom hung up his phone as Stella called his name a few times, "Who's it from?" ask the woman curious.

"Jeremy"

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, he said he'd come on our show" he explained keeping his phone back "What were our plans?" ask her back to the main topic

"Hm, I agree with your proposal. Yesterday we just ordered through the picture so it is not in accordance with expectations"

Tom smiled, he pulled Stella's hand and let the woman sit down and put on high shoes Stella deliberately removed so that Stella more freely tried the dresses. The woman smiled happily, got a lot of love from a gentle and loving heart like Tom is the most beautiful gift in his life, especially this man is so sure to give certainty of a real humungan bond with Stella. He greatly admired his man. Despite his small heart he still harbors guilt for Shania.

"It's over!" Tom stood up and picked up Stella's bag "Let's go home, are you so tired?" And the woman just nodded as she grabbed Tom's shoulder and wiggled there until they got to the car.

In Jere's room he fondled his cell phone, rereading the message that Shania had just sent.

"Don't come to my apartment these few days, I can take care of myself"

But that's not what makes him nervous but a notification from the media that Yura is pregnant with the child of a company owner who initials J, the news spread even appeared several times in his cellphone notification. Although Jere was sure that he was not involved at all, but the initials J were quite disturbing to his mind.

"How can the media smell this rubbish?" his annoyance grumbled to himself "Is this Yura's game again?" Jere guessed as he remembered the past incident that dragged his name as well.

Unwilling to bother, Jere re-read Shania's message and this time not only read but replied to her.

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow! I can't take care of myself!"

Message sent.

Not long after that the phone clinks again. Quickly he grabbed it and opened Shania's reply

"Why would I know a shitty creature like you?"

Jere just smiled reading the message.
