ACCUSED 6

CHAPTER 6
      It's Friday and rose have been anxious since morning, the closer the time they set gets the more her heart pounds. She have been avoiding jake all day regardless of the fact they will still spend time this evening
       "Momits already 5pm and jake will be here by 6pm to pick me up am so anxious" rose said breathing like someone that ran a mile
       "Don't worry dear am sure nothing will go wrong" her mom tries to calm her down "and beside when he sees how beautiful you're he's going to have sweaty palm" she smiles.
         "Alright mom, thanks for the encouragement"
          "You're welcome, so now will sit still and let me fix your hair"
           After fixing her hair and did her make up, Mr Nelson entered the room, today being Friday he always comes home early.
          "So what's the occassion?" he asked
   "Rose have a date, so am getting her ready" Mrs Nelson replied
The surprise look on his face can seen cause of the wrinkles on his forehead
 "What!, am speechless" regardless of the surprise he's happy cause he always wanted Rose to find her prince charming but with the fact he's always being transferred he blamed himself for Rose being a loner "Well, I will have to meet him, to have a manly discussion" he said cause despite his happiness he still have to know if the boy is right for his daughter
        "Well" rose looks at the clock it's already 6pm "he's already on the door...... I think"
 They heard the doorbell and rose started hyper ventilating.
  "Don't worry dear it's alright" her mom said giving her a slight squeeze in the hand before following her husband who is already halfway down
         Mr Nelson opens the door for jake "Good evening, am Jake" he said as they both shakes hands
"Am Nelson, Rose father, come inside" he ushered him in, Jake exchanged pleasantry with  Mrs Nelson who remarked how cute he is that got Jake to blush a bit and they offered him a seat
  "So well Jake, how are you today" Mr Nelson asked after his wife went to get water for Jake
   "If I should be truthful, anxious" he answered with a heavy breath
    "Well don't be" Mr Nelson tries to assure him
 "It's like am in an interview for a dream job that I really need" he looks at Mr nelson and continued "not that I've been to any interview but I guess this is what it feels like" he said with a little giggle
 "Does that mean I intimidate you?" Mr nelson asked just to be sure
 "No sir you look kind. Just I've never been in this position, you know seeing the father of a girl I want to date, not that I've dated before"
 His words threw Mr nelson offguard cause it's surprising such a handsome boy have not dated before so he asked "why is dat jake?"
"No one have caught my eyes like Rose have, your daughter she's" he paused trying to find the right word "She's an Angel" he said as Mrs nelson came back with a glass of water and he took a sip while Mrs nelson sat beside her husband. Calculating the time she took just to get the water it's noticable she was with Rose
  "Well Mr and Mrs nelson am not going lie, your daughter is amazing, before she came into my life, it's been boring, I wake up every morning goes to school, come back do my chores sleep then repeat the same thing tomorrow. Now she's here" he touched his heart "I see the beauty in every sunrise, the funny thing is that I still do the same thing I did always but they all now seem interesting, like I normal walk to the pack eat my burger and think some things out but I never took notice of the blind man that plays his guitar" he giggles "now that your daughter have brightened my world I get to hear how beautifully he plays his guitar and I even got to ask his name" he looks at Rose parents "Henry that's his name" he rub his two hands together showing his anxiousness
"Son you're in love" Mr nelson said and looked at his wife as they both recalled how their love life started
Jake looked as if he just realised that the burning in his heart is love " I feel all this and I haven't asked her to be my girlfriend" he scoffed "how pathetic of me"
 "Well you can" Mrs nelson said looking at her husband expecting his reaction to which he nodded
 "I will be glad, but before I ask her that I would tell you about me and after that if u still want me to date her I would be happiest"
       Mr and Mrs Nelson looked at each other and wondered what it would be but they listened as Jake started.
       Rose is in her room anxious, many scenerio running on her mind "What's  taking them so long" she asked herself, she was waiting for her mom to call her but she didn't and the wait is killing her so she decided to come down since she can't wait anymore
        Jake have finished his story, luckily Rose parents didn't saw him as a lesser man
"Well Jake, am sorry for that, just don't let it defined you" Mr nelson told him
"I won't sir" he heard a noise at the stairs and looked up, words can't explain the beauty he saw it just left him agape as Rose walk down the stairs she wore a red dress that is above the knee. If this was a romantic movie, there would've been a long song playing as she walk down the stairs.
       Rose walk down and sat beside her parents "Hi jake" she waved
 "Hi pretty girl, you look" he scans her body "amazing" he smiles
 "Thanks, and you too"
They locked eye oblivious of Rose parents, Mr Nelson have to clear his throat to get their attention
"Well jake she should be back before 10pm" Mrs nelson said
"That won't be a problem sir" jake assured
       Rose parents walked them both to the door and bade them farewell, as jake drove out
  "Now, that reminds me what it's like to be a teenager in love" Mr nelson said. His wife giggles "and since the daughter is away let's use this opportunity to play teenage love again" he said as he lift his wife bridal style and went upstairs, the two kept laughing
       "So what were you discussing with my parents" Rose asked Jake.
        "Well nothing serious I will tell you about it at the end of our date" Jake said
         Rose nodded but she could feel it's the story of what made him so hated in the society and she wished he could understand that no matter what it is she won't feel for him any lesser.
