The Obsession Of Jerk
Chapter 42: Believe

"What about Zee's cooking?" alana asked to look at all her family members who were eating their own food.

"Is this your cooking?" ask Sean next to Zee. He answered Sean's question.

"Zee is so clever! He understood immediately after I explained it once" said Alana praising Zee who had misbehaved in his place.

"I'm just following your lead, Mom," Zee replied blushing in embarrassment.

"How's Sean?" alana looked at Sean in front of her.

Sean nodded once. "It's so delicious." "But you're not allowed to go back to the kitchen." Zee looked down lethargic at Sean's reply. The man always managed to make his feelings go up and down.

"South..." Alana tried to persuade her son.

"My decision is final, Mom. This is all for Zee's safety." They all don't know how Zee is doing right now. He did all this for Zee.

"Already, Honey.. Sean has a point, too,

and you better stop at the kitchen." Julian the head of the family finally raised his voice defending Sean.

"Let's eat before the food is cold" he continued before Alana could voice her refusal.

Everyone eats in silence. There was only the sound of the cutlery clashing with the plate. After eating, all family members part ways to enjoy time together with their respective partners. Sheila said goodbye after the meal was over.

Different from this pair of fiancees. Zee is currently in the gazebo not far from the pool is quite spacious. He looked straight at the swimming pool which was so calm. Reluctant to look at Sean who had teased him earlier.

"Zee..."

"How long are you going to punish me, Bae?" sean began to feel desperate.

"Aren't we supposed to be making out like my mom's dad and my sister?" ask Sean again.

"Babies..."

"Don't throw me in the kitchen anymore." That's what came out of his mouth after Zee's fall.

Zee's thoughts drift on the feelings of Sean and Sheila who look more than just ordinary childhood friends. Sean was so concerned about Sheila. Do they like each other?

"alright. " Sean's voice jolted at Zee who was daydreaming.

He looked at Sean beside him who was leaning his back on the padded back of the gazebo.

"You...seriously?" ask Zee to make sure. Sean pulled Zee into his arms and rubbed his head gently.

"Yes, but you have to promise not to hurt yourself anymore" Sean said without stopping his gentle swipe at Zee's head.

"If you're worried and anxious about anything, you can tell me and share it with me. I'm your fiancee now." Zee fluttered in place, hearing Sean's fast beating heart just like his.

"Whatever it is your past, or present and future." Zee nodded small in Sean's arms.

No conversation in a long time. They enjoy each other and soak up every moment they spend together. Enjoy the rhythm of their simple heartbeat with each other.

"Sheila.." said Sean after his enthrallment.

"She was the first girl who could be so close to me. She was a simple, generous, helpful girl when I knew her from childhood. She's growing up to be a pretty girl and growing up, just like how I'm feeling growing up."

"I don't want to hear the continuation" Zee said, cutting Sean's words. He pulled his head and looked at Sean in tears.

"If you like him why are you hanging out with me?" ask Zee with eyes ready to launch a clear liquid that can spill at any time.

"Zee..."

"My answer!" zee exclaimed as he brushed aside Sean's hand that was about to touch his cheek.

"You're. You're evil Sean! I'm sorry I got engaged to you!" zee said as she took off her engagement ring.

"Zee, honey, listen to me first." Sean stops Zee's intentions.

"Don't touch me!" snapped Zee let go of Sean's hand that was holding his hand.

"Don't touch me, I said, Sean!" zee's snapping grew louder accompanied by his cries and stuffing that started to come out.

"Babe, don't cry, please... " Sean further forces Zee into his arms.

"Sorry, bae..." Sean rubbed Zee's hair regularly, trying to calm her girl down.

"Why are you crying when you haven't heard the continuation, hm?" asked Sean softly.

Zee silently did not respond, he was still busy stopping his crying accompanied by a hiccup that had not stopped. He also does not know why he should cry and does not like Sean who is near Sheila.

"You arealous aren't you, right?"

"No!" zee exclaimed loudly while taking off Sean's embrace and looking at him sharply.

"OK, easy, Bae..." Sean chuckles and returns to bring Zee into his arms.

"Why are you laughing?! you laughing at me?!" ask Zee in a snapping tone.

"No, of course not. I just feel like you're more adorable" Sean said with eyes that looked at Zee deeply and gently.

"Oh Sean! Hate you!"

See? Zee is adorable when blushing. How he hid his red cheeks in Sean's arms.

"But what were you going to say?" zee asked as he looked up at Sean.

"You're not gonna cry anymore?" sean asked Zee a question.

"Say!" exciting Zee.

"You know-"

"No," cut Zee off quickly. Sean pinched Zee's nose.

"I'm not done yet, honey..."

"Sorry." Zee smiled showing his teeth neatly lined.

"Sheila grew up to be a beautiful, mature and talented girl, while I was once a petty man who was only seen for my last name. I feel like I'm not growing anything in my life. I used to have no ideals, and no passion for life. But thanks to Sheila, I came back to have the spirit of life, and aspired to surpass my father. Until I get to my post right now, Sheila's been a big part of it." Sean continued his words.

"But I can't take it more than my best friend, whereas he considers the affection I give him more than a friend. So far nothing has made me fall so deeply into a woman's charm. Not before I met you. I want you to be my last Zee." Zee was glued to Sean's eyes in trying to find a slight crack in his eyes.

"I-I'm not gonna know in the future how, and honestly I'm a little hesitant, so-"

"Zee..." Sean cut off Zee's words by sticking his index finger in front of his lips.

"If you have any doubts about me, why am I still keeping you this far?" ask Sean.

"I knew I was a jerk and a scoundrel until I became the worst man. But that was all before I knew you Zee" Sean said.

"For the first time I felt the meaning of having a girl, defending her, and keeping her by my side. For the first time this heart beats faster than usual just because of seeing you, being around you even I can lose control of myself just from coming into contact with you." Sean brought Zee's hand to his chest.

"I just wanna you stay in myside forever, Babe... I don't wanna life without you, please." Sean pressed his forehead against Zee's forehead and stroked her cheek gently. Zee was only able to close his eyes when Sean's breath felt so close to his face.

His mind was empty, his heart was not ready and he felt a little doubt. There was a deep fear in the depths of his heart that was furthest from the wounds of the past that were still imprinting. One side of his heart wanted to accept Sean but on the other side he hesitated. If he accepts Sean, should he be with Sean Rexford? How do people look at him? And what he feared more, how Sean looked at him if he knew the truth about himself that had been...

"My Love." Sean's voice broke his daydream, he opened his eyes to see Sean who was also looking at him.

"Look at my eyes and just listen to me. Don't think about what others say, don't mind what others think, and please don't be prejudiced about me?" It was as if Sean understood his heart and mind.

"Please trust me, because I trust you and I will always be in your side, OK?" His little heart trembled when he heard Sean say a sentence capable of touching the deepest recesses of his heart. No words can come out of Zee's mouth except a nod to his head.
