Chapter 79: Iced Latte Solves All The Problems

Was this a way of punishing me for coming home drunk or what? I pouted as I stared at the fruit in front of me like my worse enemy.

"You shouldn't eat junk food at night. Besides, you had too much alcohol. You should eat healthily." he explained and I couldn't contain it anymore.

"Who says I want to eat healthily? Besides, eating pizza might not be good for other people's health but it's good got mine and without it, I'll fall sick." I pouted at the end of the sentence pushing my lips forward as though I had been treated badly.

Gerard pushed the pizza aside and looked at me seriously. " If you want pizza, you have to promise me one thing."

I looked at him sceptically unsure what this thing could be, after all, it's not like I had an addiction that he knew of so I guess making a promise wouldn't be hard.

I nodded and he continued. "You must promise me never to leave the house without giving me a detailed location of where you'd be going to..."

I pursed my lips and nodded then tried to reach for the pizza but he pulled it away making me look at him like a hawk that just stole Mama hen's chick.

"And... You wouldn't drink more than one shot of alcohol and I'm also putting a curfew for 9:00. You must be home before the time elapses." he was serious when he said all these and I just nodded.

The alcohol part hit me hard because I remembered what I said that time. I didn't know why he didn't say anything about it but I guess he also knew it was a drunken mistake.

I didn't have a problem with the rules all I cared about right now was some junk food and Gerard finally passed it to me.

I realized he had not even eaten more than one slice and I was super excited. That meant that I had more than enough to eat.

Trying to be a good girl, I asked, "Won't you like to have some?"

He shook his head and took the bowl of fruit from me and began to eat it instead. I was super excited that I wouldn't have to suffer from the fruit anymore and just ate the pizza to the fullest.

After we were done, I paced in the living room with a full stomach. It had been so long since I last ate something that caused my stomach to become so full.

I walked for a long time trying to digest food then suddenly, Gerard came up to me. "Go and wear some comfortable clothes so that we can go out on a walk."

I was surprised and excited at the same time. This was going to be the first time we would be going out on a walk also, my stomach would not suffer from indigestion.

'What a kind gentleman? Sorry for calling you a fox.' I smiled and went to the room as quick as possible. I got a causal top and trousers then rushed out.

He was seated on the couch waiting for me. "I'm ready."

I walked up to him happily but froze in my steps when he turned to look at me. My eyes widened slightly and my jaw dropped.

'Did he become more handsome in just a few minutes?' I wondered as I stared at him like a maiden in the seventeen hundreds.

He walked up to me and held my hand. His palm was so soft and bigger than mine. My heart was beating erratically and I wondered if this was going to be a good idea.

"Shall we?" he asked but I didn't hear anything because my eyes were glued to his face.

He waved his second hand in front of me and I jerked back to my senses. "Huh? Um... Yes... Sure."

We walked out of the apartment together and Gerard never left my hand throughout.

We walked down the street and I would sometimes steal glances at his beautiful face. He looked so majestic and the way he carried himself in grandeur and transcendency, I felt like I was walking with a king.

"They make a perfect couple don't you think?" one of the passersby commented and her friend nodded.

"How can God create someone so beautiful?" they passed by still whispering even after going far.

My face burned but when I looked up at Gerard, his face was the same, expressionless.

I sighed and my eyes landed on an ice coffee shop. I wanted to take it so badly but I knew he wouldn't want me to because I wouldn't be able to sleep after taking coffee.

My gaze lingered on the coffee shop and he suddenly stopped causing me to look at him confused.

"Huh? Did something happen?" I asked confused but he turned to the door and opened it then ushered me in.

I was struck dumb. Is he a mind-reader or what? I went into the shop anyways and he still held onto my hand until we sat at a table.

I looked around happily until a woman walked up to us. She had a warm smile and I could tell that she was an attendant.

"What would you like to have?" the attendant asked and I smiled happily, "One ice latte please."

I looked at Gerard and wondered what he would have. "Make it two." his voice was cold as usual.

The woman smiled and went to the counter to get the coffee ready. I was too happy about the outing that I only remember the curfew. It was already 10:00 pm and we were out.

"Um... Isn't this breaking the rules?" I can never risk my pizza for coffee so it would be best to stay on the good side.

"It doesn't matter, you're with me." his voice was calm and bold and my heart fluttered when I heard his words.

My eyes were glued to his face and it was only after the attendant came with the coffee that I tore my gaze from him.

She cleared her throat, "Uhum... Enjoy." she looked at the both of us then smiled and went back to her post.

I drank the coffee and damn was it good. We both drank the iced latte and paid and left the shop.

We walked back and I hopped like a kangaroo with my arms spread wide. "Coffee is life."

I was too happy and couldn't care what the rest of the world thought. Gerard followed behind me and I didn't know what his thoughts were but he just watched me display my madness on the street.

We walked under the street lights and under the watchful gaze of the moon. This was more than a beautiful experience and I wished it would last forever.

I turned to Gerard with a wide smile and beaming eye. "Isn't it so beautiful?" I stared at the moon as I said this.

"Indeed." I tore my gaze from the moon and saw him staring at me. I realized that he wasn't even staring at the moon but rather at my face.

Our eyes locked and I didn't know when we inched closer and closer to each other.

My heart thumped faster and faster and my eyes involuntarily closed then, there was a soft sensation on my lips and I knew that we kissed and this time, it truly meant something.

I had a smile plastered on my face as we walked home with our hands locked together. If this is what it means to be in love then I wouldn't mind falling in love over and over again with this man beside me.

My lips curved upwards and my cheeks burned. I couldn't even look at him because I was too timid to do so.

In front of the apartment, Gerard stopped and I looked at him. He looked like he had something he wanted to say and I was ready to listen to it all.

"Ayla, a lot has happened in the past few months some of which I am not proud of and I know so many things will happen in the future but I hope..." his grip on my hand tightened and I felt as though something was bothering him.

"I hope you don't leave. Even if it's just for the remaining three months." Gerard had told me that I could leave after a five-month ultimatum if I wanted and I knew that was what he was talking about.

Time moves fast and it was just like yesterday but now, I only have three more months to say with him but I could make a decision to stay with him for a longer time.

'No Ayla, don't rush it.' I nodded and he in turn hugged me tightly. I could feel his heart pounding even though his face revealed no expression, his heart gave it all away.

What is he afraid of?
