I will Love You Forever - Chapter 103

“Dance with me.” he requested. I turned around and looked at him quizzically.

“Huh…But there is no music.” I chuckled wondering why he would want to dance right now.

He said nothing and just took one of my hands and placed his second hand on my waist.

“Okay…” seems like he didn’t need music after all.

Our bodies moved together even though there was no music. There was something different about this dance, maybe it was the odd silence or the uncommon peace.

We danced for a while without saying anything but we seemed to understand each other well.

Suddenly, he stopped moving. I wanted to tell him something and this might just be the right time.

“Gerard I…”

“I’ll be out of town for a while.”

I had barely even stated what I wanted to say before he dropped the bombshell.

‘He is leaving town? Why? When?’ I pursed my lips. For the past few months, I’ve been staying with Gerard, never for once have we been apart. It felt rather strange.

I broke from his arms to fully understand what he was saying. “You… You’re leaving? To where?” I asked anxiously.

“Asia. I’ll be back in a week.” was his short response.

I pursed my lips and nodded. After all, it is work-related and he has to go. I can’t stop him from going because I get scared of the dark.

“I’ll have Lucy look after you while I’m gone. Is that fine by you?” he asked.

“Yes. I miss her you know.” I smiled cheekily and his face froze.

“And what about me? Maybe I shouldn’t let her come so that you’ll miss me a little. If she comes here, you would forget me completely.” he nagged like a granny.

I looked at jealous Gerard and scoffed. “Jealous, are we?”

“No!” he quickly denied and looked elsewhere. This action of his only made the picture clearer.

I tiptoed and pinched his cheek. “Cute little kitten.” I smiled and rushed out of the room to get some food while I heard him call me from behind.

I checked the fridge and found my ice cream there. “Fantastic, just what I needed.”

I took the plate and a small scooping plastic spoon.

I sat with Gerard in the living room and watched the show on the TV by his side as I continued to enjoy the sweet taste of the ice cream.

We stayed up till late at night watching all the movies we could find and my neck and eyes got tired.

“We should probably sleep now. You are travelling tomorrow after all.” I wasn’t worried about school because tomorrow was Friday and I didn’t have much to do but Gerard was my major concern. I didn’t want him to miss his flight because of this movie.

“Are you tired?” he asked and I nodded. He placed my head on his broad shoulder and patted my head.

This was a comfortable spot and I didn’t even know when my eyes began to close.

“How early would you be leaving tomorrow?” I asked in my sleepy voice.

“Very early, before the sun rises. I should be leaving by 5 or 6 am,” he responded and I nodded in understanding.

“Gerard… I… Do you remember the kidnappers at the Jarek mansion?” I asked with my eyes closed and my voice sleepy.

Gerard’s brow furrowed. It was an incident he didn’t want to remember and it bugged him that he is still unable to catch the culprit.

“Um… What about it?” he asked still staring at the TV but his mind wasn’t there at all.

“I… K… Hurrrrr…”

Gerard looked at Ayla when he realized that she wasn’t saying anything further. He noticed that poor snow white was already asleep and couldn’t help but chuckle.

He tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. The tip of his fingers tickled her cheeks and she adjusted for comfort.

He looked at the TV again and the smile on his face vanished. He sighed heavily. From r the first time, he was going there… To the committee.

His gaze darkened and his eyes flashed red for just a split second.

###

I woke up very early the next morning because I wanted to see Gerard before he lives. He would be leaving for a whole week and I wanted to see him before this long trip.

Ironed his clothe even though they were already ironed. I also sprayed perfume on them to smell nice.

“Haa…” I squrried after stuffing his cloth.

“Umm… It seems someone wants an autograph from the most handsome man in the universe.”

I smiled when we heard his voice then turned around. “Did you sleep well?” I asked changing the subject.

“Um” he nodded. Gerard had already taken his shower and I could tell because the scent of soap coming from his body.

“Here,” I passed him his clothes but he kept them back on the table confusing me.

“So what’s it going to be? An autograph or…” he pretended to be thinking and I could help but chuckle at this act of his.

I reached for him and hugged him instead. I smiled sensing his surprise.

“How about I give you an autograph instead?” I whispered in his ears then placed a soft peck on his cheek.

He sighed and hugged me tighter. “Ill be back before you know it, okay?”

I smiled cheekily and thought about pulling his legs. “There are many handsome boys in my school. Don’t stay too long or else I might just fall in love again.” I teased.

He broke the hug and looked at me with squinted eyes. “Forget it, I’m not going again.”

I burst into laughter after hearing his words. “Why? Is the most handsome man in the whole universe scared of some average looking college boys?” I laughed hard.

He was the one being narcissist about his looks a few minutes ago but now he has doubts? So much for having faith.

I smiled and handed him his clothes. “Get dressed Mr Jarek. You would be late otherwise.”

“Yes ma’am” he saluted and walked away. I shook my head and smiled. He never seizes to surprise me everyday.

I also needed to prepare for school but since I wasn’t in a rush, I took my time to take care of Gerard before preparing.

I sat in the living room waiting for him since there was nothing much I could do anyway.

Soon, Mr handsome was done and as soon as he came to the living room, my jaw dropped.

His hair was well combed and his black tuxedo fitted his body perfectly.

“Whoa… You should become a model. I can imagine you in the spotlight with many cameras flashing to your outfit and many girls ogling…” I paused when I got to that point and decided to change it since I didn’t like what I was about to say.

“Forget about the girls.” I suggested and Gerard chuckled.

“See who’s getting jealous this time around. You look like an adorable little cat when you make faces like that you know?” I didn’t know whether that was a compliment or a mocking statement.

“Yeah yeah yeah. I’m adorable. I get that alot.” I folded my arms around my chest and scoffed.

It felt horrible to get jealous over what I said. Is this just karma being a bi*ch right now?

Gerard smiled and put his hand around my waist. “When that time comes, I’ll hold your hand and announced to the whole world that you are mine, Mrs Ayla Jarek.”

I didn’t know why his words made my cheeks burn and my heart flutter. “Aish… If you carry on like this, you’ll surely miss your flight.” I reminded.

Gerard scoffed and pinched my nose. “As if they can leave without me. I own the jet remember.”

I laughed seeing him act all high and mighty. “All the same, we should get going. I made you coffee.” I wanted to get the coffee but he stopped me.

“We?” he asked with an unsure smile on his face.

I looked around before nodding. “Yes, we. You will be gone for a week you don’t expect me not to see you off right?” I pointed out before going to get his coffee.

Gerard smiled and raised a brow. I passed the coffee to him and after he finishes drinking it, he teased again. “Well, I thought ma’am Ayla would be scared that another lady would be there as well.”

“What? You’re going with someone?” I asked insecurely.

Gerard folded his arms then raised his brow and replied. “Yes.”

“Who is she? What’s her name. What’s she going for?” I asked all the questions at once and Gerard started laughing confusing me.

“Why are you laughing? It’s not funny.”

“Your being a feisty little cat. I’m going with Madison.” he resolved.

After I heard this, I felt like giving him a punch in the face. “You…”

“Calm down my lady, you wouldn’t want me to explain to the people I’m going to meet that my wife left a bruise on this handsome face..” he pointed to his face in the most narcissistic manner and it made me want to punch him even more.
