Chapter 36: Really?

I looked at Gerard confused. How did he get in when clearly, I locked the door and didn't even hear it open.

He kept quiet for a while and I began to wonder how else he could come in if not through the door.

I tried to turn on the light but it wasn't coming on so I guessed there was no power. The only source of light was the one from the moon.

He walked closer and I instinctively moved backwards. But he kept coming closer and closer and when he got close enough, I looked at him straight in the eye and so did he. He then pointed somewhere and I looked towards the direction only to find a small door there. How comes I have taken note of this door since and have only seen it today. Is he messing work that my head or something?

"T..there?" I looked at him then at the door again unsure if I was dreaming. How could I have missed such a tiny detail?

"Why are you still awake?" he asked again and this time, it felt awkward.

"I... I was already asleep but then the windows opened and I got scared and..." I tried to explain everything to him but didn't understand why my voice became meek. I guess it's because I am afraid of the dark and he is here.

"Ayla... Is something wrong?" he asked sceptically but I said nothing and just stood there.

After waiting for a while without getting a response, he turned and began to walk away.

"Wait..." I turned and looked around the room and remembered that the power was out and I definitely can't sleep in this room alone after what I saw.

He turned and looked at me but my head was lowered and asked. "Can... Can you stay here today?... I... I am scared of the dark."

Gerard said nothing and just stood there for a while. I couldn't tell what was on his mind and I wanted to tell him that I am fine and he shouldn't worry but he began to walk to the bed.

He arranged the bed and laid on it. I wasn't expecting this and for a minute, I was struck dumb and didn't move from where I stood.

"What! Have you changed your mind?" I stared at him and blinked twice.

"Huh? No, I..." I waved my hand and went to the bed. I guess I forgot how uncomfortable I used to feel and now I was regretting asking him to sleep. It was a good thing that I was too terrified to have any bad thoughts.

I lay on the bed and placed my head on his chest. That was the most comfortable place for me and in no time, I slept off.

I woke up very early the next morning and saw Gerard sleeping next to me. He looked more pleasing to watch in this peaceful state of his and I couldn't help but stare at his beautiful face. How can he be so cute even with his eyes closed?

'Ayla, snap out of it. He has a child.' immediately I finished thinking about that, Gerard flipped over me and covered me with his body.

My eyes widened and I wondered if he was even sleeping at all.

"What a funny way to say good morning," I spoke still surprised by this act of his.

He stared at me like he was looking into my soul. I wondered what he was searching for and why he was being so weird today.

"Did you have a bad dream? Are you looking for something?" I asked him confused.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked with his usual bold yet calm voice. I nodded and he nodded as well. I was starting to think that he was being weird on purpose.

He got off the bed and walked to the door. Get ready, we are having some visitors soon.

I nodded "Okay" and he left without turning back.

The thought of having visitors frecked me out because Anastasia was going to be there as well and only God knows what scene she would create this time around.

Reluctantly, I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, took a bath and dressed up in a presentable black dress and my hair tied in a bun. It was nothing special but I knew I wasn't looking unkempt.

I stared at the mirror and sighed. "They are just visitors and you have nothing to worry about. Besides, you do not have to say anything to anyone. Just be polite and smart." A quick smile flashed on my face and I walked out of the room majestically.

The house was surprisingly quiet not that it used to be noisy anyway but this was a different vibe. It gave off the vibe of an empty house with no one daring to make a sound.

I felt like I was in the movie ready or not with only a few minutes to hide from the entire family.

I looked at the sitting room and saw Gerard seated there with two other persons. One lady and one man.

They were dressed like they were here for a meeting but the question was, why wasn't anyone saying anything?

I walked over and Gerard stood up and introduced me. "This is Ayla, my wife. Ayla, meet Mark and Susan."

I greeted them politely and wondered what this was all about. "Good morning sir, ma'am."

They both stood up and we shared hands. After the formalities, we sat and began to talk about their reason for being here.

"Mrs Jarek, we have been assigned to you as personal mentors." Susan started.

"I would help you with everything you need to know about school while Mr Mark here, would be your bodyguard."

I stared at them confused. School, mentor, bodyguard? I almost laughed my brain out but didn't. I was happy about going to school but this was more like going to school in prison. Who needs a bodyguard and a mentor just for school?

I couldn't say anything more and just kept quiet and watched Gerard handle everything. When the... meeting was over, they both left and I was left with Gerard.

He looked at me and there was a minute of silence between the both of us but in the next minute, I couldn't hold it anymore and began to laugh. Gerard also laughed as well.

"Bodyguard really?" I spoke between gasps of laughter.

"I knew you weren't going to like the idea." he laughed more and I stared at him surprised.. He looked cute when he laughed like that and the way I viewed him was different.
