Falling in Love Again - PART 3


THIS IS FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN -> PART 1 and 2



Jessica's anxiety was at its peak... and Daniel didn't seem to be bothered.


"I was just busy honey," Daniel had finally made an effort to call Jessica.

"Busy? Is that all you have to say?" Jessica was really furious with the answer. "I was searching for you like a fool! I went to your apartment and then to your office. But you were not there."

"What? You went to my apartment?" Daniel said interrupting Jessica. "What's wrong with you? Are you spying on me or what?"

"Spying? Dan what's happened to you?" Jessica was on the verge of crying. "I was so worried for you. I waited for you for almost an hour at the restaurant but when you didn't come, I decided to check if you were unwell. And when I didn't find you at the office as well, I was scared."

"Jess... Honey, don't cry. I am really sorry. I know, I should have acted maturely and at least should have messaged you, but my phone was dead. And when I switched it on again, I saw your calls and messages. That's the reason, I messaged you at night."

"But you should have had the courtesy to at least call me back. Instead you just messaged me!" Jessica wasn't convinced with the excuse Daniel was giving her.

"It was almost half past one when I messaged you. I thought you would be sleeping. That's why I thought of just messaging you."

"What on earth made you think that I would have slept? I was not able to even lie down on my bed! Leave alone falling asleep." Jessica was annoyed with the way Daniel was replying.

"I didn't mean to hurt you by saying that. It's just that I didn't want to disturb you. That's the only reason Jess."

"Dan, you seem to love me no more! This was the first time we didn't see each other for more than 10 days. And when we were about to meet, you didn't turn up! And now are giving me strange excuses of you being busy? Busy doing what? Are you double timing?" Jessica had lost it by now.

"Jessica..." Daniel never called her by her full name, except when he was really furious. "Do you even understand what are you saying? You are accusing me of double timing only because I didn't turn up to have dinner with you? Have you lost it?" Eventually Daniel also lost his cool.

"Don't shout at me Daniel. It's your mistake and you are asking me to understand your sudden absence? I am not interested in talking to you." Before Daniel could reply, Jessica disconnected the call and later switched off her cell.

Jessica was unable to figure out the reason behind the sudden disappearance of Daniel. In her heart, she knew there was something that Daniel was hiding from her.

But she was not in a state of mind to call him and listen to his excuses again. It was the first time in their relationship of two years that something like this had happened. And it seemed to Jessica as if Daniel was not bothered about her feelings.

Daniel made an effort calling Mary. But Jessica didn't allow Mary to answer the call.

Why is he acting so weirdly? Doesn't he love me anymore? May be he is bugged with me? All such thoughts were filling Jessica's mind, when her phone beeped again.

I Love You Jess. I cannot think of anyone but you! Trust me. For the first time though, these seemed like just words to Jessica, as she cried herself to sleep.
