Chapter 163: Silence

Silence lapsed over us while we took some minutes to gather our breaths. I gazed up blankly, contemplating the ceilings. Something I usually did whenever I had finished being involved in such activity. Yet that time was different, with Carl, I usually felt empty after I had released. With Cameron instead, I felt accomplished, grateful, joyfully, and at peace. As if I went for a long run on a rainy tiring day.

Maybe the figurative run was all the time I had spent without Cameron, now after the run -the time of my life we had spent separated -I was tired but I felt happy because all the efforts were worthy to make me feel well and gratified when I reached the final destination and met him. 

His hand shily went to place over mine and then he entwined his fingers with my own, holding them tightly.

His breaths were heavy and controlled, he turned around to look at me as a sincere smile filled his face.

"Good night. I love you so much, I love you today more than I did yesterday but less than I will tomorrow. I will love you a bit more every day, this is a promise, Lily." His voice was so sweet that I hardly recognized it, coming from the bottom cords of his heart, the deepest one he had always hidden from the entire world.

He slouched forward and closed his eyes before placing a sweet tender kiss on my forehead.

"Good night," I replied as I hardly managed to breathe when my heart was beating so powerful that it ached inside my chest.

"I love you till the end of my days," I whispered back as I inhaled the kiss and his scent. Rather than a promise that sentence was a fact, a naked truth, something which I couldn't help but only let happen. Because that was how it was supposed to be, I will love him forever no matter what will happen.

Embracing tightly under that white bed sheet our lips touched and in that odd position, we fell asleep.

The next morning when I woke up, I immediately went to change and get ready. I walked down and found a note of Joanna and Justin saying they were going to a hotel room so I took a relieved breath realizing they probably hadn't heard us last night.

I had begun to cook some scrambled eggs and toast bread when Cameron walked down the stairs.

I recognized his big arms hugging me from behind, "good morning sunshine."

he said before kissing my neck.

I tilted my head to the opposite side to allow his kiss to soak in as I smiled.

"Good morning."

I placed the bread and the eggs in our dishes and then made some coffee.

"I hadn't slept in a different bed from my owns in a long time." He said.

"How did you sleep?" I asked.

He nodded, "I slept amazingly, Lily."

His saying felt incomplete as if he was going to explain the reason why he would say so, but instead, he didn't. 

He just quietly ate and silence filled the room, I didn't feel the urge to speak, I just let the quietness dive in.

I guess you understand how well you get along with someone when you don't have the urge and the nerve to speak when silence broke in the room. When you don't feel the need to fill the silence and speak to make sure you both are enjoying the time spent together. You just let silence lay over you and wait for the other to speak.

He spoke two minutes later when his face enlightened and he seemed to have come to a solution for whatever doubt was causing him distress.

"My mother said next month she will be back from the spiritual holiday. If you will be still up we can meet her."

I wasn't expecting that statement, yet I was already nervous and excited just thinking about that.

Even If I was preoccupied and I wasn't mentally ready to deal with her knowing how badly he treated Cameron. I still knew I owed him since I was sure he deeply wanted me to meet his mother and become official.

I nodded before swallowing down a mouthful of bread and taking a few sips of my coffee. 

"Of course. I would love to."

His facial muscles got tensed and his jaw tickled, he chewed slowly and then nodded, "good."

I got the feeling there was more of this question, that was something he was keeping from me and that he was mulling over and wasn't sure whether to ask me or not.

I gave him time but minutes passed and he didn't tell me the reason behind his sudden odd silence.

I didn't dig into that matter furthermore as I reminded myself that our relationship was too healthy to hold important secrets between us.

When we finished having breakfast he got a job call so when he hung off the phone he kissed me and reminded me how much he loved me before finding his way out of my house.

I cleared the table and washed the dishes and then slowly dress up to go to work.

I went to the palace where everything was already set. The cars had been placed and the shops were set up.

I only had to think of a name and then set the sign bar before finally inaugurating the palace.

I couldn't wait to inaugurate the palace and then show all my old co-workers that I didn't need anyone to have success. My efforts were paid off and all they could do now was watch me rise in the sector of car companies. Maybe one day they will regret judging me and talking behind my back instead of siding with me and accepting to work with me again. 

But mostly, I couldn't wait to make Cameron proud and show him he did the right thing by trusting my skills.
