Chapter 33: 33

"It can’t be. You sure are lying", I said trying to control my tears.

"No Ayla, I’m telling you the truth of your birth. Because just a month back I came to see your adoption paper in uncle’s confidential room", she said.

I’m not their real daughter?

"Yeah you are not", as I heard from her my leg started trembling making me hit the table beside me.

"What happened here?" Everyone came inside hearing the noise while I was sitting on the floor while tears kept on flowing out of my eyes.

"Yona, did she hurt you again?" Jace said something which I expected.

"No it was nothing and I wanted to tell you that she didn’t push me away from the stairs but I myself fell because I was standing on the verge of the stairs", Yona said, making him look at me with those same pitiful eyes.

"Ayla", he extended his hand toward me but I ran.

Yeah I ran and my tears kept on coming out of my eyes while the rain kept on pouring on me making me all drenched but I didn’t stop but run.

I have no idea where to go but I don’t even want to stop.

"Why do Things keep on happening to me? Why? I did nothing to anyone then why?" I held my head when a scene appeared in front of me.

"You know I saw her brother today and he looked drop-dead gorgeous", a girl said while everything kept on happening in front of me.

"Oh really? Then why does Ayla look like this? You sure are they real siblings?" the other girl said.

"Who knows maybe she is the illegitimate child of Mr White", their laugh kept on roaming around my head when I screamed.

"Stop it!!!!"

"I said stop it!!!"

"I’m not an illegitimate child!!!"

"I m Ayla"

"I’m Ayla White!!"

"The youngest child of the Whites."

I kept screaming when it reminded me that there is one place I could go to. I ran again. I ran until I reached my destination and it was none other than Xenon’s place.

It took me fifteen minutes but I reached his doorstep and kept on banging till he opened the door.

"Who the hell is banging on the door so loud?" He sounded annoyed but he opened the door and looked at me.

"Ayla? Is it you?" he asked.

"What’s with you?"

"Why did you come here when the rain kept on pouring?"

"Did something happen ?"

"If it is then you can share with me", he said, making me chuckle.

"You said it is just a contracted relationship right?"

He nodded.

"Then you should ask no question and make love to me until I tell you to stop", I said and entered inside while wrapping my hands around his name while my lips were on his.

He didn’t bother to ask anything else but carried me just like he usually does and kept on trailing kisses all over me making me go insane.

Yeah, I can no longer think of anything else but him. That is what I wanted to feel.

Yeah, love me. Keep on loving me till I get tired of everything.

He cupped my face and trail kissed all over my neck making me wet all over. We didn’t stop even for a second. His hands were exploring every once of my body making me feel butterflies with each and every touch of his. How I wish I could tell him after Aaron he is the one who made me feel this anxious.

"Stop worrying about unnecessary things when I’m right in front of you", he said, biting my neck.

"Don’t you dare behave like my lover when we both took each other as our substitute so behave nothing with me more than physical attraction got it?" yeah I know I’m the one drawing a line here but everyone forced me to do this.

"You seem different", he said.

"Why?"

"You don’t usually answer like this but today your words sound so rough and cold", he said, making me smile.

"Really? So you prefer sweet-talking girls?" I asked.

"I won’t say but I liked a girl who was so sweet as if I could melt if she could just call me by my name. She wasn’t so sweet in my memory but she always used to cry and my role was to look at her from afar without doing anything to stop her from crying", he said, giving me a glimpse as if I did forget something.

"You do love her a lot", I said.

"No I do love her a lot even now", he said while I kissed him again to shut him up.

I wish I could tell him that talking about his first love made me feel an ache deep inside my heart. I wish I could tell him.

"Ayla, you ok?"

"Yeah I’m ok", I said while he brought me to his bed and kept on loving me all night making my cold body warm. I have no memory of us stopping for a minute and him calling me Ayla every second.

At morning

Ummm~ is it morning?

I opened my eyes, stretching my arms while I found none beside me.

"Aaro-

I stopped.

What the hell I was about to call?

"You call me?"

He came inside even though I didn’t take his name. Is it just a coincidence?

But never mind he was wearing a cooking apron while he was holding a cooking spoon in his other hand looking like perfect husband material.

"So you can cook?" I asked.

"Of course, my grandfather taught me how to", he replied.

"Grandfather?"

"Yeah he is the only family I have", he said looking down.

"So what did you cook for today?" I asked while I’m still covering myself in a blanket while Hickey kept on show.

"First don’t you think you should dress up?" He kept on looking at the other side.

"Why? Are you shy when all of this is your artwork?" I smirk.

"I think that exercise was less for you Ayla?"

"I don’t mind riling you more", I kept on looking straight into his eyes.

While I was looking at him he removed his apron and came toward me. He held my chin and again brought me to a kiss. He inserted his tongue as usual until our tongue swirled with rhythm and I was out of breath.

"Is that how you’re going to rile me up?"

"When you can be breathless in just a few seconds?"

He smirked and left me on the bed all clueless.

"Aish this asshole!!!!"

A few minutes later

"You came?" he asked.

"Yeah I m", I replied while my main focus was on food.

"Woah so much food", I said while tasting each of the dishes he prepared.

"Such a foodie", he mumbled.

"I can hear you", I said while I could hear his laugh.

It was the first time in a long time I was laughing with my heart. I have no idea how I can call him Aaron when it has never happened to me. Why? Things kept on happening to me the moment he came into my life like a cyclone as if I was just waiting for him.

I’m not feeling it the wrong way but still the way my heart beats loud when our eyes meet as if I’m a teenager and this is my very first love who is making me go crazy just from looking at him. Why is it?

"Who are you?"

"What?" he asked.

"Did I say it out loud?" I asked.

"Yeah you did", he said while looking at me.

"Are you still thinking about the same thing?" he asked.

"Same thing?"

"Yeah because the way you came to my door I was terrified looking at you. You looked all fornless."

I know the way I came I was broken the way Yona said I wasn’t their real daughter and it’s sure going to break me up.

"No, there is nothing to worry about", I hid it.

"Ok if it is what you want", he agreed

"Ok so let me ask you a question now?" I asked.

"What?"

"What if I say I fell in love with you? What will you do?"

There was a long pause after I asked the question.

"Is it hard to answer?"

"No, but my answer will be if it is ever going to happen the contract will come to an end and you and I will act like a stranger to each other but nothing less than this ’, he said without even giving it a second thought.

As expected. So from now on, the more I will hide the more I will keep myself safe. There was a time when I wasn’t even aware of my true feelings but now when I realise my heart kept on beating loud for this guy I couldn’t say nor shake the anxious feelings.
