Annie sat on the sofa sullenly and glared at Aaron. "Mister Aaron, what are you doing? Do you have any idea just how much trouble you've just caused me?"
Aaron smiled and said, "I'm causing you trouble?"
Annie nodded resolutely. "Yes! How am I supposed to explain this to my parents?!"
Aaron pursed his lips and said, "It's simple. Just don't explain anything."
Annie crossed her arms and said angrily, "How can I not explain? Now both of them think you're my boyfriend. One day, they'll find out you're not actually my boyfriend, and I'll never hear the end of it from them!"
"Then why don't you just accept me as your real boyfriend? That way, there will be no need to explain anything."
Annie was stunned for a moment, but she turned away from him. "I've told you a thousand times to please stop making these jokes! I can't afford to play emotional games such as this, especially when my parents are involved! Go play with someone else, Mister Aaron."
Aaron picked up the cup of coffee from the coffee table and took a sip. It was the cup of coffee Jenny made for him when she was entertaining him.
After a moment of silence, Aaron said, "I can't afford to play this kind of emotional game when the girl's parents are involved as well. The fact that I've come to your house, means I'm not playing with you, Annie. Why won't you believe me?"
"I don't know either. In any case, I don't think you're suited to married life. And also, I've come to understand I'm not special. I can't change anyone, nor am I anyone's special person."
"You are my special person, Annie. Before this, I never thought about marrying or spending my life with one woman! You have changed me. So why don't you take a leap of faith with me?"
Annie looked at him in shock. "All of my previous relationships ended in failure! So, no! I won't take the leap of faith with you. I never want to experience the feeling of failure again. Sorry, Mister Aaron, but you should look for someone else. I'm sure there'll be plenty of other women out there who'd be willing to take the leap of faith with you!"
Aaron put down the coffee cup with a thud. "I'm being serious here. I really want to marry you, and I have every intention to stay married to you! But I can't promise you that because no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. I don't want you pointing your finger and calling me a liar one day! Annie, I really hope you'd at least give it some consideration. I promise I'll take this relationship seriously, and then we'll get married, okay? I really, really mean it this time."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
