I will Love You Forever
The next day, I woke up with an unusual smile on my face. I recalled what happened yesterday and for the first time, I felt as though we were a real couple.
My hand slowly reached for my lips and remembering that sensation, my face flushed red.
Yesterday night, after we got home, I thought he would go to his study as usual but he didn't go and decided to put me to sleep first.
It was a beautiful way to end the weekend and Gerard was such a darling yesterday night that I felt as though it was a dream.
I smiled and went to the bathroom to freshen up after noticing that he wasn't sleeping in the room anymore.
Today, I had lectures but I wanted to make a quick salad, one that my father taught me.
After my bath, I rushed to the kitchen and made a quick yet amazing salad, one that I could never get tired of eating.
My father always said that when preparing a salad like this, one had to be happy for the dish to taste great and I was feeling happier than ever before right now.
"Carrots... carbage, some beans, eggs, tomatoes, and of course, the cream... Yum." I sliced everything in fine small shapes and decorated it as though it was Christmas.
I was so happy as I placed everything on a tray and turned to progress to the dining room but unfortunately, I bumped into Gerard and the plate almost slipped from my hand but in this unfortunate scenario, Gerard was my knight in shining armour.
He was so quick to catch the plate that I didn't even visible see the motion. I blinked twice and asked cheerfully.
"What are you, the flash?" I asked fascinated by his speed and he smiled, that warm smile that could make anyone faint.
He turned around and went to the dining table while I stood behind and wiggled in the manner of someone who is about to faint before rushing and following him.
He placed the salad on the table but didn't sit. He walked to my chair and pulled it out and I wanted to faint again but maintained my composure.
He sat on his chair and took a fork from the tray and passed it to me then took him as well.
I'm fainting for the third time in my head. Gerard usually did these things often but I didn't pay attention to them until now.
"Let's eat?" he asked and I nodded. I took the first bite and I noticed his hesitation before taking a bite.
He chewed the salad and the look on his face changed. There was a smile on his face and it was only then that I knew he enjoyed it.
After he swallowed the first one, he wiped his lips and looked at me quizzically.
"Where did you learn to make a salad like that?" he looked fascinated and my lips curved in a smile.
"My father taught me this method and always said that the salad could make anyone happy," I responded.
Gerard took his fork, I have always hated salad because it's just a bunch of leaves. Well, your father is fantastic." he smiled and took the next bite.
I smiled at his words and ate as well but I noticed that he suddenly stopped eating and dropped his fork.
I looked up at him confused, "What's the matter? Are you satisfied?" I asked seeing his mood take a U-turn.
He dropped the napkin carefully and looked at me. His face was expressionless but his pupils were shaking revealing a sign of nervousness.
He took my hand and asked, "Would you like to go back to Salem for a visit?"
I instantly knew what this was about and pulled my hand away. I tucked the strand of hair on my face to the back of my ear.
"There is nothing left for me in Salem." was all I said and then continued eating as though he had not just offered me freedom.
I wasn't lying. There was nothing more for me in Salem. My father and mother were both dead and my stepmother doesn't even like the sight of me. I'm sure she's happy that I'm gone. Also, my stepsister and I were never close and she isn't even in Salem.
The only person I cared about was Kara and she left Salem a long time ago as well. Returning to Salem now would be a waste of time and I don't want to remember all the hurt that place had caused me.
Gerard could not eat anymore and just when I was about to encourage him to eat some more, my phone rang.
I stared at the screen of the phone and it displayed the name of the school's year two representative for my department, Dustin.
Dustin was quick to tell the purpose of his call. "There wouldn't be early morning lectures because of a crisis the department was facing with the cops but u will inform you if there would be any changes made."
"Okay... Thank you." I thanked him and the lines disconnected.
"That was the department representative, Dustin. He called to let me know that our morning classes would not hold because of the crisis with the cops." I explained even before I was asked. I knew he wouldn't ask me but I just felt the need to say it.
"Crisis?" that seemed to be the only word Gerard heard from every other thing I said.
"Ah... Yes. A boy died in my department and they are looking into it because he was poisoned in the hospital and the cops think a student had a hand in it." I explained everything except the part where I and Kel were bullied by the same boy.
Gerard's expression darkened and the temperature of the room dropped to a few degrees below 12 degrees. 'If only looks could kill, I would have frozen. Just kidding.'
I concentrated on my food and avoided eye contact with him. "Um... I have to take care of some work. I'll be back soon."
Gerard excused himself and I nodded. After he had gone, I dropped my fork and rubbed my arms.
"Phew... I really felt the temperature drop." I shook my head and ate some more then packaged a little I had left in the kitchen and put it in the fridge for Gerard.
After everything, I went to my room to do some cleaning but I got a notification from the group chat and when I opened it, it was a total of 200 messages.
I sighed but read through in case there was something important. The first message I saw read, 'Guys, Kel was seen in a hotel with a man.'
I blinked twice and wondered what nonsense this person was blabbing but I scrolled down and saw an attachment. It was a picture of Kel and a man but the man's face was not revealed and she looked pretty wasted from alcohol consumption.
'Is that really Kel? She looks hot.' another person replied and many other people cursed her for being in a hotel with a man that too, the hotel looked exotic and it was instantly concluded that she was with an elderly man.
I looked at the picture more and there was even a video from the CCTV camera that showed Kel trying to kiss the man.
I couldn't read more and Immediately called Kel. Her phone rang several times but she didn't answer and when she finally did, I could hear her sobbing over the phone.
"Hello?" I spoke but she said nothing and just cried. I figure that she had already seen the thing in the group and was devastated because of it.
"Kel, I'm sure it was a misunderstanding. I'll find a way to fix it. Don't worry about it and if possible, don't pay attention to your phone for now." I don't wait for a response because I knew I wasn't going to get any and just ended the call.
"What could have happened?" I whisper to myself then I recalled Eric drove Kel home yesterday.
I checked the group for Eric's number and finally found it and placed a call through to him.
The phone rang a couple of times but he didn't immediately answer until the third time.
"Hello..." his low raspy voice was heard at the other end of the phone.
'Could he still be sleeping?' I wondered but asked what I wanted anyway.
"Where did you take Kel to on Sunday?" I went straight to the point without wasting much time.
"Huh? Who is this?" he asked clearly still feeling sleepy.
"Ayla," I responded.
"Ayla?" His voice became clearer and he sounded more audible now.
"Have you seen the messages on the group? Everyone is talking about Kel and a mysterious man. I thought I told you to make sure she gets home safe?" I was holding on to my angel because he promised to take her safe and I believed him who knew that something like this would happen?
"Huh? Wait what?" Eric was just as shocked as I expected.
"I'll check them now." he checked the pictures while I was still on the phone with him and I could hear his cursing.
"Ayla, don't worry about it.. I'll handle the situation."
