Chapter 9
Jamie POV:
Did Landon just ask me to marry him? Did he? "What? I asked him. "I love you too. I want you to marry me." Landon said. He did! But isn't this a little fast. Their must be something wrong with him, maybe it was something he ate or the discussion with my father. "Are you serious?" I asked. "Yes Jamie. Why wouldn't I be serious?" Landon asked offended. "Why are you asking me to marry you? Is it because we made love last week?" I asked. "No, I love you Jamie. I want to be with you. Isn't that what you want?" Landon asked. "Landon, I don't know what I want. I mean my husband died a year ago. I don't want Caitlin pushed into a marriage that probably won't last." I said. Did I just say that aloud. "What makes you think it won't last?" Landon said. "I don't know, I just don't want to rush into marriage right now. I am getting used to being a single parent and don't want to be married right now." I tried to explain. "So you don't want to be with me?" Landon asked. "Yes, I do, but not as man and wife. I like the relationship we have now. The kids are having fun. I don't want that to get ruined for them." I said. I could not believe she was fighting with him in her parents back yard. "Jamie, do you love me?" Landon asked. "Yes, but not enough to get married." I said. "When you do, call me." Landon said walking inside. "Landon! Landon wait up!" I said following him inside. He got Max and left. "Landon." I said as he left. My family looked at me as I put my face in my hands and cried.
Landon POV:
"Dad, where are we going?" Max asked me as we got in the car. "Home." I said. I did not want to yell at Max. He was innocent in all this. "Max, me and Jamie had a little fight and we won't be seeing her for awhile." I tried to explain as we rode home. When we got home. I put Max to bed and then I stayed up for a while. Did I make a mistake or did she? Right now I felt like that she did by turning down my purposal. I could not believe she didn't want to marry me. I am got to her and love Caitlin like my own. She and Max get along wonderfully. I am just going to put this behind me and be in a good mood for Max. I have to be. I finally went to bed.
The rest of the week, I went on with work and taking care of Max. I did think of Jamie, but then I would get upset. One day at work, I could not contrate. "Landon, what has gottin' into you?" Eric asked. "Why do you ask that?" I asked him. "You seem out of the world." He said. "Me and Jamie broke up last week." I said nodding and shrugging. "Man, I am sorry." Eric said and asked "How is Max?" Eric was a father too so he did care for kids. "He doesn't understand, but he is fine." I replied. I dragged through the day thinking that I had made the mistake.
A week later, I decided to call Jamie. "Hello?" She asked picking up the phone. "Jamie it is Landon." I said calmly. "Hi Landon." She said. "I am sorry for rushing that purposal on you. It was just a spur of the moment." I said. "I am sorry for saying it was bad idea. It wasn't." She said. "Just not at that time?" I asked. "Yes. I hope I can see you again. I miss you Landon." She said. She missed me and I missed her. "Can I see you today?" I asked. "Yes. Caitlin is at a friends." She said. Max was too. "I will be there soon." I said. We hung up and I ran upstairs.
Jamie POV:
Landon is coming over. We said our apologies and he was coming over. I dressed nice, not that I wanted to look nice, just better than my jugging pants and tee-shirt. I heard his car pull up to my house and walk up to the house. He rang the doorbell and I answered the door. "Hi Jamie." He said. I pulled him in and kissed him. "Hi Landon." I said. I was happy to be back in his arms again. "How are you?" He asked. "Good since you are here." I replied. He kissed me again and I asked "And you?" "Much better." He said. I suggested we go into the living room and he agreed. We sat on the couch and started to talk. "Landon, you were right. I want to be with you. I do think of the future and dream about us being married. But right now I just want to be girlfriend and boyfriend." I said looking up as if I was dreaming. "So do I. I guess my thoughts caught up to me." He said. I moved over to him and snuggled closer to him. "Landon, wait in a month or two and then ask me." I said. He kissed me and said "Ok."
P.S. What da ya Think? I know it short.
