Episode 10
Jocelyn’s eyes widened and she jumped with happiness. “Hurry! I will wear the jump suit!” She squealed happily and Dianne winked at Paula.
“Tell me I will be down with him in a jiffy.” Jocelyn said to the maid as she hurried to her makeup table.
“Okay miss Jocelyn.” The maid replied and left the room.
Few minutes later, Jocelyn was all ready looking so beautiful and sëxy.
Her friends stared at her with admiration. “You are so good to go.” They chorused, opening the door for her.
Jocelyn smiled and blushed as she majestically walked out of the room.
She went down the stairs and met Eddie sitting down in one of the sofas, reading a magazine. He slowly looked up and his eyes landed on her.
Eddie’s mouth hung open. He was amazed. He couldn’t believe how beautiful Jocelyn was.
Jocelyn smiled shyly at the look on Eddie’s face. She walked closer to him and waved. “Hey. You are staring.”
“Of course I’m staring because you made me to. God, Jocelyn. You look gorgeous. Wow.” Eddie praised, staring all over at here.
Jocelyn smiled and sat next to him. “Thanks for coming by. I really appreciate.”
Eddie touched her hand. “It’s okay. After all, you are my patient.” Eddie said and winked while Jocelyn laughed.
“Are you saying that you visit all your patients at home or am I just special?”
Eddie ÇOçked his head to a side, measuring her words. “Hmmm……I think so, Jocelyn. You are special. To me.” He said seriously and Jocelyn stared at him, quietly.
She had said it like a joke but Eddie really took it seriously.
Eddie breathed in and looked into her face. “I told you I wanted to tell you something few days back. You didn’t bother to ask me.”
“Oh. My bad. I totally forgot.” Jocelyn replied.
“Okay.”
“So what’s it?”
“I love you and I want us to be together…like forever. Can you be my girlfriend officially?” Eddie asked all at one.
Jocelyn stared at him speechlessly. She looked away and stood up, turning her back on him.
Eddie stared after her and stood up, wondering why she was suddenly moody and quiet. “My angel….are you okay? If you aren’t okay with it…just tell me….”
“Yes! Yes!!!” Jocelyn suddenly jumped in excitement as she screamed out the words.
Eddie laughed, hugging her as she jumped on him. “Wow. You scared me!”
Jocelyn laughed, hugging him tightly. “Yes, I will be yours. I love you so much Eddie. I love you so much!”
“I love you too my angel. So much.” Eddie replied as he hugged her back.
Angeline stood behind them, smiling. She was moved to tears to see how happy her daughter looked. It had been last she saw her that excited.
Daniel, her husband appeared behind her, looking at the two also. “That’s my daughter. She’s finally in love.” The man said, smiling.
Angeline nodded. “She sure is.” She replied.

Few minutes later, Eddie and Jocelyn were in her room, having their first moment together as a couple.
“When will you love to come over to my house?” Eddie asked, touching the tip of her hair in a romantic way.
Jocelyn smiled and closed her eyes, loving the way he touched her hair. “Any day you want my love. Any day will be okay by me.” She replied.
“How about this Sunday? I a
Want you to come over and have dinner. My mom will be around then.”
Jocelyn’s eyes swung open and she looked sharply at
Eddie. “You want me to meet your mom? Already? Isn’t that too early?” Jocelyn asked, becoming worried.
Eddie giggled as he sensed her worry. “You are scared to see my mom?” Eddie asked.
Jocelyn nodded. “Yeah. I don’t know if she’s gonna like a spoilt brat like me”
“You are my spoilt brat and I love you that way. Hmm?” Eddie said and Jocelyn smiled.
She held his hands as she looked into his face. “I don’t know what I did to deserve someone like you. You are everything a lady needs.”
Eddie stared mutely at her. He suddenly moved forward and kissed her. He took her lips into his mouth and gave her a heart fluttering kiss that made her close her eyes dreamily.
Jocelyn sighed and encircled her arms around his neck, pulling him close. She had never been kissed so passionately this way.
She wanted to kiss to last forever. She didn’t want it to end but Eddie released her and pulled back. Jocelyn opened her eyes and looked questioningly at him still breathless from the kiss. “What?” She whispered.
“You are getting carried away.” Eddie replied quietly.
“And so? What? You are boyfriend now okay? And we can do things together.” Jocelyn replied.
Eddie laughed. “You really are a spoilt brat.” He said and stood up, dressing his shirt. “I have to hurry to the office to get something important. It’s my day off… where do you want us to go for our first official date?” Eddie asked.
Jocelyn pouted, saying nothing. She was angry that Eddie ended the kiss without her permission.
Eddie moved closer to her and pulled her up to her feet. He encircled her slim waist with his arms and pecked her hair. “You will have all of me soon, angel but not now…..in your room, okay? Cheer up for me, hm?” Eddie asked and Jocelyn forced a smile. “Okay. Can we go together to the hospital?” She asked.
“No. That won’t be necessary. I won’t be staying long there. Just wait for me here and get ready for the date. I will take you round the world.” Eddie mumbled into her ears and Jocelyn giggled, hugging him. She couldn’t believe she could be deeply in love with someone so soon after her experience with Adam.
“I will see you then,yeah?” Eddie asked as they disengaged.
Jocelyn nodded and smiled as she watched him walk to the door.
