Another Chapter Reveal of The Journal!

Again, Ethan was thankful they had repaired their relationship. Two years before, Jessica could not stand the sight of him. After the divorce, she wanted nothing to do with him, but Ethan was convinced they belonged together. He decided to devise a plan to woo her back. He started subtle. First, he showed up occasionally at her floral shop just to say hello. Then he started buying a single rose, and6 handing it to her after purchasing it. Jessica’s assistant Macy loved the gesture, but Jessica would just roll her eyes and set the rose to the side. Then the moment came when he asked her to lunch. Reluctantly she agreed, but insisted on meeting him at the restaurant. She seemed to relax as the meal progressed, but appeared suspicious of his motives. Though he wanted to kiss her, he held back and said goodbye after they finished. After a few months passed, Jessica seemed to warm up to him more.

I’m anxious, excited, terrified, and experiencing nausea. I’m rubbing my palms together, trying to ignore how sweaty they are. I exhale deeply, wanting desperately to look at the stick resting on the vanity. I’ve only recently stopped taking my birth control. Jamal and I never use condoms. Well, we did at first. Those first few months of dating had me nervous. Who knew I would fall in love with my best friend?   It was Jamal who said “I love you” first. It took me a while. I was damaged from past relationships. Though I had the love of friends and family growing up, my own insecurities kept me from experiencing life. My ex-boyfriends, the few that I did have, played on my lack of self-esteem. Generally, I wasn’t that desperate be in a relationship, but the closer I got to thirty, the ...
