Chapter 880 - Saturday at Jaspers apartment (5) (2/2)

”Oh…”, Ellie frowned.

Jasper looked at Ellie and felt that he overshared. He got so much into talking about his problems that he forgot that Lilian is a sensitive topic. ”Don't worry, I will not let her get back.”

Ellie was touched that next to all these problems he is facing, he is concerned about not hurting her feelings. ”I am not worried. So, he is pressuring you to give her the job back?”

”Few times a day.”, Jasper admitted.

”Thank you for telling me all this.”

”Thank you for listening.”

Jasper knows that just talking about it does not solve anything, but he felt lighter. Like she took some part of that weight on herself. For the first time in a long time, he felt… not alone.

Ellie thought how him sharing his troubles, brought them closer. She feels that he is treating her like an equal, and she likes that. She is happy that he trusts her enough to tell her with so many details how his father is controlling him. It's not easy for a man to admit that he has a weakness. All guys want to appear perfect, invincible. And Jasper exposed himself.

Jasper remembered that she came to his apartment for a date. ”Clothes should be done drying soon. Did you decide what you want to do?”

Ellie thought what she wants to do. And other than spending time with Jasper, nothing else came to her mind. She realized that they would not have this conversation where Jasper told her what is weighing on his mind if they were in a public place.

Just the two of them, in his apartment, feels nice.

”Can we stay here? How about we watch a movie?”, she gestured toward the TV. ”And for dinner we can reheat leftovers.”

Jasper held his breath. She does not want to go anywhere… she wants to spend time with him. Only him. Just the two of them. Thinking that two of them will be together in the privacy of his apartment for the rest of the afternoon, and evening, and… he started imagining the possibilities…

'Be cool about it, don't make it look like it's a big deal!' , he smiled.

”Sounds good. Here…”, Jasper handed her the remote. ”Pick something to watch.”
