"Should we head home?" Gerald said breaking their eye contact.
Joy nodded and watched him walk to the car. He opened the door and came back for her.
Holding on to him, Gerald carried her back to the car then closed her door. He got in and started the car.
Gerald noticed Joy's mood change, "Is something bothering you?" he asked.
Not turning to look at him she sighed, "Am just tired "
Gerald left her be and drove them home.
"It's okay I can manage, " Joy said pushing away Gerald's arms. He wanted to help her but she refused and slowly walked to her place.
He opened the door and got in. Joy placed her bag down and pulled off her jacket.
She stopped and turned to where Gerald was standing, "Thank you again for tonight, I know tomorrow you're returning to your normal life and I have said it already but I still was to say it, thank you so much for taking care of me during this time " she said.
"Welcome Joy, thank you for allowing me to do it " he answered.
"Okay, I will go to bed now, goodnight," she said.
"Good night," he said.
She walked to her room, and Gerald stayed there standing in silence.
Joy dropped to her bed, "But I don't want to say goodbye to you, I thought you would want to stay here with me but I guess I was wrong " she cried.
"Your not wrong Joy " she turned to see him inside her room.
"Gerald " she called.
He moved to her side kneeling in front of her, "I want to stay by your side but am afraid that after you find out who I am. Then you won't stay "
"Gerald, if I was afraid of you I would not have allowed anything to happen between us. I allowed you to get close to me, care for me caused I trust you and no matter what you say, I will still choose to stay by your side " she said.
Her hand held his face, "I know you feel you're not worthy of me and I understand. Even if we are not like Liana and Xavier, we can still find a way for us to together cause unlike you, I can't hide my feelings for you "
"But...." she stopped him pulling him closer.
"Gerald stop holding back and fully embrace those feelings. I want to know how much you love me " she bent down close to his face.
His eyes stared into hers, and a smile broke on his face before he pulled her in for a kiss.
He could feel her soft lips against his, the taste made him go even crazy for her. His arms held her waist while the other grabbed her neck. Joy's hands slid to his neck fully closing the gap between them.
His tongue slid into her mouth parting her lips causing her to rise from her stomach. Joy moaned as their kiss got deeper.
Leaning in she pushed them down to the floor, and not minding they continued with Joy on top of him.
They pulled away, breathing, looking at each other. His figure smoothly pushed her hair behind her ears so he could see her face and claimed her lips again.
Deeper and more intense their kissing got, Joy felt him move to hold her up they got back to the bed.
He sat down holding her in his lap, Joy clinging onto him, her fingers pulled off his shirt but he stopped her, ending their kiss.
