Promise

Chapter 32

"I've been wanting to do that for a long, long time" Richard smirked. I ended up going to lunch with him instead, arriving back a little late then planned.

"Sorry I'm late, I went out with Richard" I said rushing through the door.

"I know, I saw everything" Ricky said sounding hurt. I was glad he saw, now he knows how he made me feel.

"Jess, we need to talk about this."

"Like I said, there's nothing to talk about. We need to rehearse."

"Rehearsals can wait for now. You're more important then anything." If that was true, he has a lot of work to do to try to prove that.

"I really do love you Jess." I was still weary, scared of getting hurt again and ending up looking even more of a fool then I already do.

He got the engagement ring out of his pocket. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"How can I trust you after today?"

"I know it will take a lot for you to be able to trust me again, I understand. I would feel exactly the same if it was me in the same situation. Let me just try to make it up to you, I'm willing to do that for the rest of my life."

"Save it for Kylie" I said, surprised that I had actually said it in the first place.

"I don't want to save it for Kylie, because its intended for you."

"You seem to like her enough to have your hands all over her in your dressing room leaving me to wait in mine like an idiot."

"She forced herself onto me. Its the truth, she does it to Will and Tom too, ask them for yourself. I swear to God its the truth, you have to believe me."
