Chapter Thirteen
This morning she sent me a help sheet with all the information that would help me and then there was a mini quiz in her last email including a text message saying she was going to hear back from her figure skating trainer today as we continued to Facetime each other on the phone.
Other than that I left the hockey house fifteen minutes later to attend training driving down and then making my way to the changing room to get dressed in Kleet, jersey and the full uniform soon heading into the ice rink.
"Get your head in the game, Lomoax!" shouted our hockey coach.
Passing the puck to Holden as I skated by Tristan to move forward on my skates to Wyatt to ask him the one question that was on my mind anytime she mentioned something about her red-haired green eyes Avena and my friend Wyatt to help her set them up.
"Wyatt, what do you think of the idea of two lifelong best friends dating a girl and a guy?"I asked Wyatt.
Jessamyn certainly owed me for doing this since she kept on bringing it up to me even making me secretly watch rom-com watch, then I decided to wait until next week to discuss her favourite books to read along with her nonetheless, the coach blew the whistle and holler at us to come over to him.
I turned around to see her friends watching us, sadly she wasn't there to stand on the bleachers to notice even though I might not be a cupid or a love doctor because it doesn't take an expert to see what was going on between the two of them.
"I don't but it does depend on whether or not this said friend of yours feels the same way as you do about her."Wyatt paused to turn around to look at Avena and continued to say "In my case, if it was me then I said maybe when the time is right."
Half an hour later the coach's speech had finished, and we continued to practice hockey for a while but by the time practice was over I was still playing cupid for Wyatt and Avena because Burkey suggested that we should help them out a little more about how to set them up regardless of whether or not he was still waiting for the right time to shoot his shot then sometimes a little push in the right direction was needed for him to realize how much he feels about a certain red-haired girl who named started with an A.
In the meantime, my phone vibrated from a text message making me think it was Burkey aka my friend and figure skating partner until I saw that it was my dad messaging me to home in the holidays to the point where I only wanted to go home to visit my little brother Andreas a seven years old boy who filled with so many questions about life.
Meanwhile, I shoved my phone into my pocket, took my mouthguard out of my mouth walked through the door to get to the changing room in a sour mood after my conversation with my father on the phone and by then it was when I remembered the first time I saw or heard of a soul such as light as her own that glows beyond the darkness of night soon afterwards I remember seeing her smile for the first time while we were skating around in the ice rink taking an unseen picture of her being in her element was watching something truly magnificent.
"You know for some reason I have always been suspicious that they are something that is unmistakably going on between you two," said Mason with a slightly knowing smirk at me.
I had a slight feeling that he was talking about Jessamyn and me for sure as soon as he saw me looking at my screensaver on my phone and at this point I decided that there was no point in denying my true feelings anymore because she made all my bad days seems to be worth it so what if I might have caught feeling for her since I already knew that those feelings won't be going anywhere else not anytime soon. Every single rule was meant to be broken whenever it came to her which reminded me if my mom was still alive then my mom would have loved her.
There were these unspoken rules between the two of us, just neither of us had mentioned that we were together without any other label but I constantly felt she was perfectly made for me and I was well aware that she wasn't property to be claimed by the like of me. Everything would work best for the both of us eventually praying to whatever god or stars up in the night sky hoping for one day that she would tell me if she had felt the same way about me as I do feel for her although I was free falling for her every single day that we spoke or meet up with each other.
Whoever had been writing our story then I hope to the highest heaven that we would someday end up being together.
"I'm one thousand per cent free-falling for her and I have zero regrets about that too!"I exclaimed my feelings about Jessa to our friends.
One of her friends who was five foot seven and had a braided hairstyle and a darker brown skin complex called Natalia stood there clapping whereas the rest of them were recording this conversation on their phones or beamed absolutely happy to hear how I felt about their friend Jessamyn.
"Well, then what on earth are you doing standing telling us and not going to follow your heart?" asked Natalia in bewilderment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shortly afterwards I arrived outside the cafe where her friends had told me that she was there meeting up with her new figure skating instructor from the agency watching from outside of the café window in the rain and then I saw a couple of people crowding around her table within minutes after I rushed inside reaching her table to see what it was all about when I heard all the words they were saying to her.
I might have lost my temper but I managed not to cause a scene that I followed after them.
"If any one of you guys ever go near her again or say anything that would hurt her feelings." I paused looking at every single one of them and then I continued to let out a deep loud threatening chuckle.
"then so be it and I swear to god himself that you all won't ever like your life anymore!" I warned them.
She didn't even see me until she looked up from her hot chocolate mug wondering what was happening when she saw me walking toward her table with an appreciative smile on her face as I sat down on the opposite side of the table to her before I could say anything to her, she beat me to it letting out a relieves little sighed of her own being grateful that I came all this way from campus to Java cafe was a little bit outside town only just to see her even though i was supposed to see her tomorrow afternoon nonetheless, i was here now for her. She placed her hand on the table away from her hot chocolate as she raised an eyebrow at me and then asked "What do you say to them?"
Causally I shrugged my shoulders as I looked straight at her running my fingers through my hair as she began to look expectantly at me almost like she was waiting for me to answer her question and then I bought her a heart brownie with ice cream when i said "oh, it's nothing really because I just told them a couple things and then proceeded to put them in their places."
Happiness begins to radiates from her face to her heart making her smile widens from a corner of her mouth tilted upward as her eyes brighten in a shade of hazel green eyes soon after the fork that has a piece of brownie on it reaches her mouth and then she starts to make a noise that sounds like a moaning sound.
Her cuteness levels today were on a massive rise from the scale from one to ten.
Not only did she look insanely beautiful while doing the simplest things ever.
"Huh, what did you just say? Can you please repeat it again?"I asked her clearly, fazed by what I just heard her say.
Quite frankly, I thought she was still working on things out with Erick until I think I might have been dreaming when she said out loud instead of inside of her head that she likes me more than a friend because she feels safe and protected whenever she was by my side and then somehow she thought I was good looking which made my smirk widen into a smile on my face as she tried to quickly retract her comments now.
For a second, I didn't let her retract her comment about me as I was letting her know that feel the same way as she does since she doesn't know where we both go from here. I don't want to rush her into something she might not be comfortable doing too.
"Which part? The one where I said I'm attracted to you or the part where my new trainer says we need to work together on our stage chemistry-?"
I interjected her by preventing her from tapping on the table as my hands were placed gently on top of her, "Both of these things but I think I might have a way to sort out both of our problems." I said with a confident smile and then added " by the way I do find you to be strikingly gorgeous, Jessamyn Burke."
We spent hours talking in the booth at Java diner about how we can improve the quality of our figure skating routine and then added romantic chemistry to it as time went by.
She told me that her friends have sent her a video of me confessing my feelings towards her.
I watched her lick a piece of vanilla ice cream off her lips in addition to that I missed at my hockey practice today because she always brightens up every single room she walks into.
and then she took something out of her pocket that looks like a new charms pendant of a hockey stick with the silver letter J short her name Jessamyn as she placed it in the palm of my two hands eventually I take off my silver chain around my neck to incorporate the chain to go through the metal charms before putting it back on around my neck.
I was fighting a smile as my upper lips began to twitch into a mega smile making me think about how so darn precious she was to me.
Lastly, I drove her back to her campus dorm apartment and dropped her off right in front of the building, she pulled me straight into a hug thanking me for volunteering to do a figure skating competition with her also she opened her door soon after I drove myself to the hockey house being questions by some of the guys on the team about how did I confess my feelings towards her.
The charms that she gave me earlier were to apologize for not being able to come to watch play during my hockey.
She told me that she believed that those charms would bring me good luck as well as great karma in the universe to help me win the next huge hockey game.
