5 months later

Kim!!! Lisa yelled at me

Calm down, we won't be late besides mason is there already.

Lisa just opened a bakery shop, I'm super proud of my bestie. Tonight is the opening and we are trying to get things done before then.

Okay ma'am, I'm here lets get moving

Took you long enough, please help me with these boxes.

I took the boxes and loaded them into my car boot, get in i said to her.

I pulled up by her shop and we got out to unload the boxes.

Hi mason i said as he walked out and gave Lisa a kiss. Umm if you guys are done i need help with the boxes i told them. We all walked into the shop.

I turned to Lisa and said " I'm really proud of you " her eyes sparkled as she thanked me.

I brought out my phone to check it

Oh shit, i have 2 missed calls from jace, I should call him back

Hey baby,sorry i missed your call i was busy helping Lisa with somethings. You know today is the opening, will you still be able to get here i asked?

No problem babe, I'm about taking off now, i should get to New York before then, I'll see you soon. I love you

Okay, I'll be expecting you. I love you too

Yes you heard right( we exchanged "i love you")

Flashback

Lisa, jace is outside I'll be back soon

Take care i said as i walked out to meet him.

Hey babe, you look gorgeous he said as we hopped into his car.

He drove us to a fancy fancy restaurant and we were ushered our seats. A waiter came and took our orders and left. I took a look at jace and noticed he was nervous.

Jace, what is wrong? I asked as i placed my hands on his.

Umm..Kim, i want to tell you something he said

Okay go ahead

He takes a deep breathe and said

I've always wanted to tell you this since like forever "i love you Kimberly"

I've loved you since you walked into my office, I've loved you since i saw you walk towards me when i came to meet you. I've loved you when i saw you laugh and I've loved you when i saw you cry, I love everything about you. I don't know if you feel the same but i love you.

Tears were threatening to fall down my eyes, i placed my hands on his and said

I love you too jace

Flashback ends

I looked back to see the decorators doing their job.

Lisa, we should head back now you need to get dressed. Mason will be here to supervise everything.

She pecks mason and we made our way into my car.

Kim is jace coming for the opening she asks me.

Yes he is, he's flying in today i said while driving, i invited a few of my friends too. We got to my apartment and got out of the car. I ordered for foods while Lisa checked our outfits.

Kim do you think mason would like this on me? she asked me

He would totally love it, you'd look incredibly hot.

We both got ready and went out for the opening, I picked my phone to call jace but he wasn't picking.

Maybe he's busy I thought to myself.
