GoodRead"Absolutely!" Jeffrey's voice pitched up with excitement. "I'm not talking about just dating, man. I'm talking about meeting the parents, tying the knot!" "How long have you guys even known each other?" Everett felt they were rushing into things like kids playing house, not taking it seriously enough.
While he wasn't surprised Jeffrey could make such a move, the one in question was Karen. He couldn't help but throw in a few words of caution.
"Didn't you fall for Dorothy the moment you saw her? The only difference between us is—Dorothy didn't say yes back in our college days, but Karen said yes to me now." Everett was at a loss for words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"If Dorothy had agreed to be your girlfriend back then, you would've said no? That you'd complain about not knowing each other long enough, about not being cautious enough?" Of course, Everett wouldn't have said no.
He was left speechless by Jeffrey's retort.
"Chill, dude. I'm serious this time. | want to get married and have a couple of kids, just like you and Dorothy!" After a few more words of advice, Everett hung up. On the other side of the bed, Dorothy was already probing Karen.
"Did Jeffrey do something to you? You can tell me, don't be scared." On the other end, Karen hesitated before saying, "Although he's done some pretty bold stuff, agreeing to be with him was indeed my choice." "What made you change your mind?" Dorothy clearly remembered Karen disliking Jeffrey before for his annoyance.
Even the time they met at the airport was a disaster! And that was just days ago.
"Just... | guess his parents are really nice, and it seems like Jeffrey is actually serious this time." Karen could feel that Jeffrey was different towards her.
Otherwise, he would have bailed on any other girl by now with his notoriously short patience.
Even if Levi did all this, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this was Jeffrey, the guy who's always been chased by women. He didn't need to try this hard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What about you? What do you think?" Dorothy didn't want her friend to start a relationship based on any side reasons. "Do you like Jeffrey?" Along silence followed on the phone.
"He's pretty handsome, more so than any guy I've dated before." "That's it? Just looks?" Karen let out a dry laugh, "What else can | say that I'd even believe myself? I've only known him for a short while. Haven't really gotten to know him yet. What's drawing me in so far is that his parents are genuinely kind and their family vibe is so warm. And then, yeah, Jeffrey's got good looks." Otherwise, there wouldn't be any start between them.
Especially since Karen truly disliked anyone who had been with Heather.
"Jeffrey mentioned visiting your parents. Are you guys planning on getting to know each other for a while, or... a shotgun wedding?" Dorothy was concerned when she heard Karen's tone. It was clear she wasn't quite smitten yet, and a wedding would definitely be premature.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! We've just agreed to try dating. Talking about marriage is way too early. | might be a sucker for a pretty face, but | haven't lost my mind!" Hearing Karen say that, Dorothy felt relieved.
"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing." "Don't worry, I'm not love-struck. If | were, | would've said yes to Jeffrey long ago."
