I will Love You Forever - Chapter 90

Gerard paced in the living room watching the clock but the delivery man wasn’t there yet. Just as the minute hand reached the exact time, the doorbell rang and he rushed to get the delivery.

Thankfully, it was indeed the delivery man by the door. He took the food and signed on to the papers.

He could hear Ayla calling him as he dashed to the kitchen but didn’t respond.

Ayla was confused why he was acting weirdly but decided to say nothing and just went straight to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Gerard hastily packed the dish in a to-go pack and just before Ayla was able to get in, he rushed out.

“Hy…” he smiled awkwardly and Ayla could not help but look at him sceptically.

“I got your food packed.” he showed her the brow package he had wrapped her food in and she took it from him still feeling a little weird.

“You… You’re sweating, is something wrong?” she pointed to his head and he laughed it off.

“Nah… this, this is nothing.” he smiled still looking odd. Ayla knew that something was off but couldn’t place it until she looked at the food in the pack.

Her face revealed a smile. “Did you order me food instead?”

Gerard knew that he couldn’t fool her anymore and just lowered his head disappointedly.

“The food is a mess. I forgot to put the seasoning and now, it has no taste.” he lamented while she watched him with a smile on her face.

“May I see?” she asked him, pointing to the kitchen and he immediately insisted that she didn’t.

“You would be late for classes, you should go,” he advised but she didn’t listen and just went in anyway.

She blinked twice seeing the kitchen in an absolute mess. Within just a few minutes, the kitchen that was once tidy and aromatic now has trash lying everywhere.

I couldn’t find a perfect spot to place my feet and I felt as though this wasn’t the kitchen I entered a few minutes ago.

I turned to look at Gerard but he looked elsewhere. ‘Why did I ask to see it in the first place?’

The pasta was everywhere, the delivery pack was on the counter, the leather bag was on the floor. It looked as though he was trying to make fast food but could concentrate properly. That made sense after I saw the pasta scattered everywhere and the counter is a mess.

I sighed and walked to the cooker then tasted the food. Indeed, it was plain and tasteless without spices and seasoning.

Hurriedly, I took another pot and turned the content into the second pot because the pot that initially contained the food was already burnt.

I turned everything into another put and took some water then put the spices and seasoning in the food and added some water.

I covered the pot with the lid and waited for it to steamer for a while before turning off the cooker.

I stirred the food and voila, the problem was fixed. I took a plate and gave Gerard some to eat.

“Here… Tell me what you think.” I passed it to him and he hesitantly took the plate from my hand then took a spoonful and was surprised.

“Who are you? The god of cutleries?” he asked surprised by how she was able to change the tasteless food into a well-flavoured food.

He kept eating and was happy that he had her here or else, the food would have been trashed.

“I should start going. Or else, I’ll be late for school.” I hurriedly explained.

“Let’s go, I’ll drop you off today. You won’t get the bus at this time.” I was happy to go with him even though I was the one who asked him to stop dropping me off because I didn’t want to be seen with such an extravagant car.

I hesitated for a while but because I was already so late, I had no better option. I nodded. “Okay”

He dropped the plate. I looked at the mess and he shooed me away. “I’ll take care of it once I get back home. Let’s go for now.”

I sighed and didn’t have another choice but to listen to him, after all, I have lectures in the next fifteen minutes and this is a weekday, the traffic would be bad.

We both went out and Gerard didn’t change his clothes. He only took off the apron and made his way to the car.

The car automatically drove off and I was glad that the traffic wasn’t as bad as I presumed.

Soon, the car came to a halt at the gate. “Thank you…” I hurriedly got out of the car and ran off.

Gerard looked on as I ran and called me multiple times but all I could hear was the wind that passed through my ears as I hurried in.

I hurried to my class and in the hallway, I bumped into someone I didn’t wait to see. “I’m sorry.”

I hurriedly pushed the door open but to my despair, the lecture was already in the class.

I greeted him but it turned out to be one of the lectures that we refer to as My grumpy face.

“Seems some of you just enjoy wasting your time putting on makeup rather than waking up early for school,” he yelled.

I touched my lip and realized I had actually used some makeup on my face. This was all thanks to Gerard, now the lecturer would think I’m not serious.

He looked at me with his grumpy face and continued. “You can only choose one. You either choose the make-up or this class.”

I immediately responded. “The class sir.” he stared at me for a long time without saying anything.

“Well, what are you waiting for? Go and wash that face of yours.” I got frustrated because I had to go to the bathroom now.

Hurriedly, I ran to the bathroom and didn’t read the sign before badging in. I ran to the sink and washed my face. Soon, everything was off and when I turned around to go, I bumped into a boy.

“Hey… What are you doing here?” he yelled while using his hands to cover his lower part.

“Huh?” I looked around confused and wondered what he was talking about. “I’m the one who should be asking you that question. What are you doing in the girl’s…”

I didn’t finish my statement when u realized I hadn’t even checked the sign before coming in. Also, looking at the structure, it looked like a place built for boys.

I panicked for a second and apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t read the sign by the door. I’m really sorry.” I was running late for class and had to run back.

“You hey, wait!” he yelled but I didn’t wait for another second and just ran off. It was just too embarrassing for me to stay also, I had to go for classes.

‘One offence is enough but two is a crime.’ he thought to himself after remembering the bag Ayla wore from the girl who pushed him a few seconds ago.

His brow furrowed and he almost curse under his breath remembering how willful she was and how she just ran away without giving a proper apology.

The young boy was the best student in the department with a constant CGPA of 5.0. He was a senior of Ayla and was in his final year.

Derick was regarded as the god of the department because no one was as good as him and maintaining the highest CGPA was his code.

Because of all the love and respect, everyone showed to him, and because his father is an elite, many people love him and always want to be on his good side.

Derick is an arrogant and proud young boy with a handsome face. Just as most people loved and always wanted to be around him, some others didn’t even like the sight of him but no one dared go against him.

I sighed after the class was over and desperately wanted to sleep. I heard my stomach grumble and decided to take the food Gerard gave to me but after looking at where it could be, I realized it wasn’t there.

My eyes widened and I placed my hand on my cheeks them make an O shape with my mouth.

“Aish… How could I have forgotten it at home?” I almost curse under my breath a knew I was going to die before getting home if I don’t get something to eat.

I wanted to cry and yell but what to do? I sighed and accepted my fate.

“Ayla, why do you look like that?” Kel walked up to me with a worried expression on her face.

I groaned in anger. “Argh… I forget to bring my food along and I didn’t eat from home.”

She laughed and cheered me up. “That’s not too hard to fix. Come with me to the cafeteria.”

I sighed and eventually got up but when I got to the door, I was confronted by the god of the department, Derick, who looked he was about to carry out a chainsaw massacre.
