I will Love You Forever - Chapter 133
The days moved quickly but for Gerard, it was the slowest few days he had to wait for. He had been waiting for the day when Ayla would be ready to consummate their marriage and now that she finally told him soon, he couldn’t wait any longer.
It was a Friday and as soon as Ayla got home from school, she dashed to the kitchen where Grace was. “Good day ma’am,” she greeted and grace answered her with a smile.
Since Gerard had lost his parents, she figured that she could relate to Grace as though she was Gerard’s mom.
“You came home quite early today, what’s the occasion?” she asked Ayla casually and Ayla responded with a smile.
“The exams are starting soon and I’d like to focus more. It’s a shame that I was unable to go for the scholarship exams but I’m sure I’ll do great in these exams, I just know it,” she spoke with determination in her tone.
Grace smiled delightedly that Gerard found a girl that took studying seriously. “And what about your job? How will you manage?” she asked waving a letter in front of Ayla.
Ayla’s eyes widened and she took the letter happily. “Really? I got the job?” she looked at Grace surprised and the old lady scoffed.
“What? Were you do doubting your abilities?” she raised a brow and smiled cheekily.
“I was worried since I didn’t get any email. I didn’t know they were going to send it this way.” she sighed in relief.
“Silly you. I knew you were going to do just great.” she smiled and continued what she was doing.
Ayla held the letter tightly and couldn’t help but smile.
“From now onwards, you’ll be extremely busy so I suggest you don’t do anything stressful at home.” Grace looked at Ayla seriously and Ayla nodded.
They stayed together for a while before Ayla thought of something Important. “How comes Gerard has another house here?” Ayla was confused because this was the third house they were staying at.
Grace chuckled. “The Jarek mansion is his family house and the apartment where you visited was just a place where he stayed when he needed to go to work early. This… Is his real house.”
“Ah…” Ayla nodded in understanding. Now she understood better. She had thought that Gerard was just a fan of owning different houses and wasting money on buying them.
“How about we make something delicious tonight?” grace asked and Ayla nodded.
“Fantastic! Now tell me, what is your favourite food?” she asked with a wide smile.
The first time Ayla saw Mrs Grace, she had thought that she wouldn’t be welcoming but after only a few days, this old lady became very nice and warm towards Ayla.
“Um… How about we make multiple dishes so that everyone would eat to the fullest?” she asked back with a smile and grace nodded.
“That would do.” she smiled and began to put all the ingredients in. With Ayla’s help, they were able to finish in time.
As soon as Gerard returned, he found Ayla in her room arranging some clothes. She didn’t even hear the door open and shut and was startled when someone hugged her from behind.
“Oh… Hey you…” she smiled when she saw his face from the side of her shoulder.
“I didn’t even hear you come in.” she turned around to look at him properly.
Gerard looked as smart and elegant as ever. His beautiful haircut made him look even more breathtaking.
“I missed you.” he hugged her tightly and Ayla’s cheek could not help but burn.
“Sure… But you saw me this morning.” she pointed out but Gerard didn’t feel that way. To him, it felt like one second was equivalent to one day.
He leaned in and kissed her forehead then her nose and further down to her lips.
Ayla knew where this was headed but she didn’t want her stomach to suffer from starvation.
“Gerard, how about you change and eat something first?” she managed to speak as he kissed her nape making her feel a tingling sensation.
“I’m not hungry.” he held her tiny waist but Ayla didn’t want to go down without filling her stomach.
She ran out of ideas seeing that he was indeed far from hungry or at least, he wasn’t hungry for that type of food.
Just as he was about to carry her, her stomach rumbled and he stopped what he was doing.
He looked up at Ayla who was looking away and chuckled. “Let’s eat first.”
He carefully placed her down and walked away to another room and took a bath. For some strange reason, Gerard had been staying in a different room since they moved to his house and Ayla didn’t know why.
She went to the dining room and waited for him and to her surprise, no one else was in the house, not even the butler nor Grace.
She felt goosebumps just by thinking about what would happen. She didn’t want to think of the worse but when she heard a girl at school talking about her first time, she almost wanted to tell Gerard that they should postpone it a little longer.
She rubbed her arms feeling cold by just thinking about what would happen. She turned a glass of wine into a cup and gulped it down while she waited for Gerard.
Drinking on an empty stomach was bad for her health but she couldn’t think of any other way to suppress her anxiety.
In the bathroom, Gerard showered as quickly as possible and looked at the room where he was staying. Finally, he wouldn’t need to stay in this room anymore because he didn’t need to suppress his urges anymore.
He had spoken to Madison about the uncontrollable urge she mentioned at that time and she told him that it would only grow the more he waited.
He rubbed his palm together and looked at himself in the mirror. “You’re a naughty boy.” he chuckled and hurried downstairs only to see Ayla gulping down a glass of wine.
He blinked twice wondering if he stayed up there for too long and she got bored. Because he wanted to be with only her tonight, he asked all the staff to take the night off so that he could be with her without any disturbance.
He walked over to his chair and Immediately Ayla saw him, she couldn’t keep her eyes in one spot. Knowing what was coming was more awkward than it being unexpected.
She understood that taking time to think about it also mattered and that was what Gerard had been doing for her. Gerard had been patient for a long time and didn’t force her to do anything she didn’t want to.
“If you continue to drink like this, you might not have any appetite for food.” he placed some food on her plate and asked her to eat.
“Um… Where did everyone go?” she asked to clear her doubt and Gerard casually responded,
“I told them to take the night off.”
Ayla’s heart began to pound as she bit her lower lips and raised the wine glass again.
Gerard looked at her confused. He had expected that she would feel relaxed knowing that it would just be the two of them at home but why was she drinking so much?
He took the wine away from her sight and gestured for her to eat. “Ah… The wine just tastes really good.” she smiled awkwardly and took her spoon.
She couldn’t eat much because she had already drank too much.
“Why don’t we take a walk outside?” Gerard ask and Ayla looked at him confused.
“Huh?” she didn’t see that coming. She had already assumed that something else might happen Immediately after they ate but here he was saying that they should take a walk. Should she be happy or worried?
“Ah yes…” she nodded and smiled.
They walked into the garden and soon, she wasn’t worried anymore. Instead of worrying about what was about to happen, she was curious.
“How are you feeling?” he asked in a calm, gentle voice.
His question confused her. “Huh? Well…” She thought that he was talking about something else but Gerard was asking about her stomach. He was worried that she would have a stomach upset because of how much she drank.
“I mean your stomach. Does it hurt?” Ayla was in disbelief about what she was thinking.
“Ah… That, it’s nothing. I didn’t drink that much.” she spotted a bench and pointed, “Ah… There. Why don’t we stay there for a while?” she asked and he nodded then followed behind her.
They stayed on the bench and Gerard intertwined their hands. After a long silence, he finally spoke. “It doesn’t have to be today, I’ve been waiting for so long and I can wait longer.”
Ayla knew what he was talking about and looked at him carefully. He looked sincere and she felt as though she had not been considerate towards him.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head. “No…. I want to spend this night with you.”
