MORENA-Chapter17


The untold story of Dylan and Ian II…

“I just want to take care of you. Why don’t you let me?” A teenager guy asked his girlfriend.

“I can take care of my self. Those were just ill mannered juvenile. They will eventually get tired hounding me.” The teenage girl replied.

Dylan smiled. That was exactly how she answered Cedric when he found out from Frances about the bullies in school. So ancient!  She thought.

“Why are you smiling?” Ian took her hand. They were sitting at the park.  Ian went to their house this morning. Since it’s weekend they agreed to walk at the park.

 Years ago, getting to where they are now was unimaginable. When Cedric left, she thought no one would ever replace him.  She tried to go out with Ian several times but she stopped seeing Ian when he kissed her. Dylan kissed him back, something she regretted a minute later. She was still thinking of Cedric then. She was thinking of kissing Cedric!

Even with Frances disagreeing, she kept her distance to Ian. She hated Ian then. Dylan felt he took advantage of her. But when he saw her 3 months ago, Ian didn’t stop.  Ian never fails to send flowers or chocolates almost everyday.             

“Nothing! I just remembered something!” She shrugged.

“I want to be a hard core plastic surgeon, you know that right? Ian asked unexpectedly as he smiled at her.

“Yeah! I know!” Dylan smiled back. 

“Dylan, I planned to continue my studies in Seattle. Yesterday, I received the acceptance letter from Seattle Grace Hospital, I teaching hospital. I need to be there early next year.” Ian informed her

“Congratulations!” Her voice was broken. She looked away to hide her misty eyes.  She wanted to be happy for Ian but her spirit was compress by to much pain.  Here we go again! 

Ian tightens his grip to her hands “I’m ready to give that up if you marry me, Dylan” Gently he said.

Dylan was so overwhelmed to say a word. She opens her mouth but she cant seems to think of anything to say. Few minutes have passed but Ian’s proposal remained unanswered.

 Ian smiled. “I’m not in a hurry. I’ll give you time to think about this. We’re only 24 and I know you have a lot in mind.” 

This is Ian. With his Christian behaviors, any girl he will choose to marry would be the luckiest. Dylan is the luckiest indeed. Ian never left her.  He is always ready to understand her and patiently waited for his turn.  
She held his face. “I don’t even know if I deserve you.” Dylan was crying.

 “Of course you do! Stop crying!” Ian tightly hugged Dylan. “Let’s go back.  Think about it, huh?”

They were merrily walking hand and hand towards her Aunt’s house. She still lives there, taking care of her Aunt.  Dylan who had been working so hard since she graduated persuaded her Aunt to take an early retirement. 

When Ian left, she entered in her room to think.  She took a box from her closet. She opened it. It showed a ring coated in white gold, a very simple ring.  “I should throw you now!” Dylan was talking to the ring.

Cedric was so busy running their restaurant. This week, his playboy side was momentarily on leave. Cedric, who is also a graduate of culinary arts, needs focus to perfect a new dish. They will need this for the grand opening of their 12th branch, for reinventing Jade.

His phone rang again. His caller was relentless so he turned off his phone. He must finish his job soon, he agreed to go out with Claire this weekend.

Few minutes later, one of his crew interrupted his cooking.

“A certain Brannon called. He said if you continue ignoring his call, you will regret all your life.” His crew said breathless.

“Okay!” He said walking towards the sink to wash his hands. Cedric opened his iphone to call Brannon after. He was about to open his mouth when Brannon talked.               
        
“The girl of your dreams is getting married really soon.”

“Jessica Alba is already married dude!” Cedric said in laughter.

“I’m serious, Cedric. Dylan is getting married. I just wanted you to know.” 

Brannon heard Cedric laughing so hard and loud at what he just said. “Why? I already move on!” Cedric told him after.

“Okay!” Brannon sounded unconvinced.

“I am.”
  
“The wedding will be this coming month. I just wanted you to know” Brannon said and then the line was cut.
