got dressed and headed over to Sarah's.
"You should not let him go. He could have an affair and find somebody else!" Sarah screamed.
Really? I can't believe she would even suggest something like that.
"I am not worried about that at all." I told her.
She started crying, "Brooke, I need to tell you something." she said.
This does not sound good at all.
"My husband is having an affair." she told me.
This couldn't be true. He would never cheat on her. He's been madly in love with her for years. This absolutely blows my mind that this could happen to her.
I took her in my arms and held her tight.
"How do you know he is having an affair?" I asked puzzled.
She stopped crying, sat up and said," The girl called her last night asking for him.
When I told the woman he wasn't home and asked if I could take a message she said, “Yes, tell him I am waiting in my bedroom."
Wow that is really weird. Why would he give his lover the phone number to his house?
I mean that's definitely going to get him caught. I am not sure what words I should say to Sarah. She must be heartbroken.
"Sarah, I would ask your husband about this. “ I told her.
It could just be some stalker who is mad because he won't sleep with her or something. Think about it. If he was going to have an affair, he wouldn't give his lover his house number knowing that you would answer it if someone called." I explained to her and left.
Jake talked about wanting to do Doctors without Borders before at some point in his career. I encouraged him and told him he should. I can handle my own. Who am I thinking? My time with Jake is treasured. I savor every moment that I get with him. I'm hoping the way I feel around him will never fade away. I was so proud of him for wanting to do this and help people.
He had such big dreams and I can't be selfish by keeping him away from them. He deserves to do anything he wants to do in life and I will always support him in every decision he chooses to make.
Chapter 21
As we were lying in bed I could tell that something was on his mind.
"Honey, what's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me and said," If I decide to go for Doctor without Border then I will be gone for at least 12 weeks and I am not sure that I can go that long without laying next to you."
Right then, all my doubt went away and I could tell this man truly loved me. He wouldn't do that unless he truly loved me.
"Jake, I will support you and any decision that you make in life." I exclaimed. I leaned over and kissed him and then looked into his eyes and said, “I love you."
He handed me a letter and said I planned on reading this to you myself but right now I think I would rather you read it. I opened the letter to read:
Dear soul mate,
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
Within you, I lose myself. Without you, I find myself wanting to be lost again. To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you are the world.
My love for you has no depth; its boundaries are ever-expanding. My love and my life with you will be a never-ending story.
You may hold my hand for a while, but you hold my heart forever. You give me hope in my times of trial, joy in my saddest hours and love in all I do. If you live to be a hundred then I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you because you are the one I want to hold till the last breath of my life.
Will you marry me?
I looked up and at him and he had a little black box and opened it. Inside was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen.
"So, Brooke will you marry me?" he asked as he slipped the ring on my finger.
"Of course I will. Yes!" I yelled and kissed me.
I couldn't believe it was finally happening. I would want to get married before he goes to Doctors without Borders.
