Way Of Me
Part 2

Jackson chased to the door and then he pulled my body and immediately gave a raw bogem to my heart. I staggered because I could not avoid his attack.

Did not stop there, he then returned to deliver his punch to my face and bugh... The punch managed to make the corner of my lips feel sore, it might be bloody because I also felt salty and rancid at the same time.

" Stop Jack ! You fucking jerk ! " joey stared intently at Jackson who was still about to deliver his deadly blow to me.

" Zoey get away from her ! He's already influenced you " said Jack.

" Will never ! " said Zoey while helping me stand up.

Jackson was so angry, visible from his hardened jaw as well as his tightly clenched hands.

" Zoey." snapped Jackson.

" What ? You think I'm scared huh ? " zoey jolts back.

" This must be because he's been inciting you, right ? He's already influenced you "accuse Jackson while staring intently at me.

" You're wrong ! He never told me anything. He's here because I asked him to accompany me "dead Zoey.

" Zoey, we can talk about this again "please Jackson try to block Zoey's steps that walk me out of the room.

" Never follow me and never appear before me again ! I hate your bad attitude... And I'm sick of all your arbitrary behavior ! If you follow me, then I'll make sure your family bears the shame of your actions " said Zoey who immediately made Jackson stop his steps.

" Zoey... Zoey "cried Jackson calling Zoey but the girl seemed to care for her hearing by continuing to walk to take me to the elevator.

" You're not going to get away from me Zoey ! It was not that easy "yells Jackson and then the sound of things thrown from the room.

Zoey got out of the car after we got to the beach. After leaving the hotel, Zoey said nothing. He even drove his vehicle at high speed. I don't know what's in his brain right now.

" Zoey, are you okay ? " i ventured to ask Zoey.

" Hem, I'm fine. I should have asked that question ", Zoey replied, looking at the wound on my lips.

He sighed and searched for the P3K box in his car. Zoey took a cotton swab and wet it with drinking water in the mineral bottle. Then slowly rub towards the wound I suffered.

Afterwards, he gave the ointment to the wound on my lips. I grimaced a little while holding the pain when he applied the ointment.

" I'm sorry, I made you like this. I shouldn't have asked you " said Zoey feeling guilty.

" That son of a bitch Jackson ! " grunts Zoey while putting the ointment back into the P3K box.

" You regret what you did ? " many more.

Zoey glanced at me then chuckled.

" Regretted ? You crazy ? I even looked forward to it a long time ago "he replied.

" What is troubling your mind ? "

Zoey looked at me.

" Dave, if I told you the truth would you always be by my side ? " asked Zoey, I could feel a great worry from her gaze.

" I knew Jackson wouldn't let me go. There's always a way for her to snare me back "Zoey says what's on her mind.

" What will you do then ? " i looked at Zoey who was also looking at me.

" Dave, take me away ! " excited Zoey.

Hearing Zoey's words made me widen my eyes.

" You're crazy, Zoey ! Who am I, to dare to take you away "I refused, but deep in my heart I wanted to go with him.

" You don't want to take me away ? Dave don't you love me ? " ask Zoey again looking at me deeply.

I love you so much, Zoey ! So very...

" Dave." Zoey's voice ripped my daydream.

" Zoey, how could I dare love you "I said softly.

" Huh, I was wrong. I thought you loved me. It seems like all this time, I misinterpreted your treatment of me. And I love you Dave "said Zoey confessing her feelings and walking away from the car, down the sand of the beach.

What ? I didn't hear wrong, did I ? Zoey loves me ?

I asked myself, not believing what Zoey said. Until with a limp step I tried to reach his hand and then equalize my steps with him.

" Zoey, are you serious about what you said ? " i questioned the thing he said by grabbing and holding his hand.

" Of course not " replied Zoey looking at me.

Hah, I should have known that women never seem to be attracted to me. What can I be proud of anyway.

I sighed, then slowly took off my grasp.

Stupid ! You should reflect on Dave !

I cursed myself.

" You love me, don't you Dave ? " ask Zoey who is now standing right in front of me.

" I know myself enough, Zoey. I don't deserve to love you even though I want it so much "I said softly.

Suddenly Zoey hugged me tightly.

" I don't love you, Dave ! But I love you so much ! " said Zoey who immediately made me stunned to hear his explanation.

I let go of her embrace and looked at her.

" Are you serious ? " I looked into his hazel-colored eyes. And I don't see any lies there.

Zoey nodded and looked back at me.

" I love you so much Dave ! " he said and brought his face closer and kissed my lips

I was a little surprised by her attitude, but I kissed her back, gently picking her up. My first kiss !

The link of our lips came off as Zoey looked up, looking into my eyes.

" David... Let's get married ! " take Zoey who makes me go wide for the second time.

" What ? Married ? Zoey, are you aware of what you're saying ? "

" Yes, I'm sober and I'm so sure to marry you" Zoey said. There was not a single doubt in his eyes.

" Zoey... Your parents won't agree "I said like a desperate man.

" I don't care. This is my life and they can't manage my happiness" Zoey said.

" But I have nothing to be proud of for your parents. No possessions, no power, not even my own family I don't know. So how could your parents have blessed our relationship... "

" But you have this" said Zoey, holding my chest.

" You have kindness, you're smart and most importantly you have my love" Zoey added.

" David... I don't want to be with another man, let alone Jackson the jerk. I want to give myself completely to the man I love and love me. And it's you "strictly Zoey cupped my face until I could see the honesty and sincerity of her words.

I pulled Zoey's hand from my face and then tucked her fingers. I don't want to lose this woman in front of me.

" all right... Let's get married ! I will prove that I deserve to be with you "I said with confidence.

Then I knelt before him and clasped his fingers.

" Zoey Calista Taylor, will you be my wife ? With me wading this life together in joy and sorrow ? "

I looked at him expectantly.

Zoey nodded her head, I could see her eyes sparkling when she heard my proposal.

" I'm ready "
