"He told you all that?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Genevieve replied again.
"I don't trust you. You made that up." I said and rolled my eyes.
"Okay." I said, as I faced my front again, smiling.
Infact, I was blushing.
Does he really love me that much?
I like him too, but not as much as I like J.J
"Excuse me, ladies." Genevieve said to us.
"Where are you going to?" I asked Genevieve.
"I want to go and meet Johnson." She replied to me.
"Why?" Lizzy asked.
"I have missed him a lot." Genevieve replied and pouted.
"Okay." I said to her,
"You can leave." Lizzy added.
"Thanks my Ladies." Genevieve said, smiling and left the car.
I and Lizzy sighed very deeply the moment Genevieve left.
"Are you cool with that?" Lizzy asked.
"Yes. What should I do?" I asked her.
"Should I go after him and kill him?" I asked.
"That will be your choice, not mine." She said and laughed softly.
"Yeah, I will do that if the need arises,but I can't do it. You will help me, right?" I asked her jokingly and we both laughed softly.
She pointed at the side mirror beside her,
"Shhh." She said and quickly pressed her forefinger against her lips.
"Raymond is coming." She added.
Raymond walked up to us and stood beside Lizzy, outside the car.
He knocked on the window.
Lizzy rolled it down and said,
"Hi Raymond. Long time no see, huh?." And forced a fake smile.
It was silly and awkward.
"Hi Elizabeth. How have you been?" He asked and returned a fake smile.
He totally ignored me too, just as J.J did earlier today.
Why are they all ignoring me?
Am I that scary now to talk to or to smile at?
"I am good." She replied
"You?" She asked Raymond.
"I am good too." He replied to her.
What is going on between these two?
"Do you mind if I take your seat?" Raymond asked,
"No. I was about to leave. I am leaving you two alone. Enjoy. Bye." Lizzy said and slid out of the car and left hurriedly to join the others in the other car.
Raymond gently slid into the car the very moment Lizzy was out and replaced her in the passenger's seat.
"Hi darling" Raymond said,with the way he sounded, I was not sure if that was a greeting.
"Darling?" I asked.
"Who?" I asked again.
"Can't you just pretend to be nice to me for once?" He asked sadly.
"You haven't changed even after your resurrection." He added, confronting me.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." I apologized to him.
"I was just wondering who you were calling darling. I wasn't sure if it was me." I added.
"Yes. Of course it was you." He said to me,
"I was very sad, heartbroken and devastated that I might never see you again." He added with teary eyes, as he reached for my hands and held onto them.
I cleared my throat and said,
"Uh…. Uhm…..I…" I was short of words, I didn't know what to say and which words to use.
I was a bit embarrassed and cleared my throat again, to try to say something again,
"It's okay if you don't know what to say. I guess you are still in shock, after everything that happened. You were supposed to go for a medical check up after resurrection." He said to me, as he slightly squeezed my palms.
I can see it in his eyes now, he truly likes or loves me.
He truly cares about me.
"How have you been?" He asked me, concerned.
"As you can see,I have been good and okay." I replied to him.
"Thanks." I quickly added, before he could say something else.
He nodded and spread a big smile on his face.
Oh my gosh, he is as handsome as J.J too.
"I have missed you, a lot. Please permit me." He said to me and brought his face closer to my head and vpressed a kiss on my forehead.
"I have missed you.That night, I didn't know how you left, I was worried because it rained heavily throughout the whole night. I called you that night, but you did not answer my call." I said to him with a sad tone.
"I am sorry I didn't inform you before leaving, I panicked and get worried after I received a call from my baby sister that my dad won't be coming home that night." He explained to me.
"No, it's fine. I understand now." I said to him, smiling.
"I have really missed you." He said, still smiling at me.
"There is something I want to tell you." He said to me.
"What is it?" I asked.
"It's a message." He replied.
"A message?" I asked.
He nodded and replied,
"Yes."
"From your mom and grandma." He added.
"Really?"
"What did they say?" I asked curiously.
"First of all they want you to know that they love you." He replied.
I didn't say anything, I just nodded.
I was just eager to hear the rest.
"Your grandma gave me some of your favorite snack to give to you." He said.
"Biscotti?" I asked.
He nodded and said,
"Yes."
"Where are they?" I asked.
"They are in the police car I and Genevieve came here with." He said.
I don't think I will be eating that anymore, because I don't think I am omnivore anymore, I guess I am now carnivore.
I will share it among everyone of us later.
"I will get that later." I said to him.
"What else did they say to you to tell me?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I promised them that I will keep you safe and be with you till the very end of time." He said to and smirked.
"Thanks in advance." I said to him and smirked back.
"How did you find us?" I asked him out of curiosity.
"Because I sold that house to Hale." He replied me almost immediately.
"You did?" I asked surprisingly.
"Yes." He replied and nodded.
"Actually, I became and have remained the happiest person alive since I learnt about your resurrection." He said to me, looking straight into my eyes.
"I am very glad that you didn't leave me behind. What should I be doing in my life without you. I can finally eat and sleep well now." He said and laughed softly.
I was just looking at him, speechless.
"You have become prettier and thinner." He said to me.
"Was I fat before?" I asked, but before he could reply me, I added,
"Wait!"
"Are you body shaming me?" I asked, a bit annoyed and embarrassed.
"No, that was not what I meant." He said to me, confused.
I didn't want to feel what he wants me to feel.
I don't want to pity him too.
I don't want to fall in love with him too.
"You are so fucking unbelievable." I said,as released one of my hand from his light grip and stretched it to open the door and exit the car, but he was faster and maybe smarter.
He quickly held my arm from preventing me to open the door.
That made me to lost my balance, but once again, he was faster, he quickly caught me and held onto me, he fell down instead with me on the top him, holding my head with one of his hands,as his fingers crossed my head.
My head was on his chest and I could hear his heartbeat, they were beating so fast,as if they were going to burst out of his chest.
While his other hand was on my hip, he was holding me very close to him, as if we
about to kiss.
I stared down at him for about fifteen to twenty seconds, studying his face, especially his lips.
Damn they wre so thin and attractive.
His lips are heart shaped and red.
I pretended as if I didn't enjoy or liked him holding me,by looking at him with my eyes fully wide opened.
I raised my body to sit back, but he still held unto me. His grip was so strong around my waist that I couldn't lift it.
His hand was still on my head, he gently pushed my head back to rest on his chest and said,
"Please remain still. I want to feel and enjoy this very moment."
"What if someone sees us like this?" I asked, but before he could reply to me, I quickly added,
"They might get the wrong idea."
"What wrong idea?" He asked.
"This." I replied.
"Is it because of J.J?" He asked, but I couldn't answer.
He will be very heartbroken, so I just kept quiet.
"Why are you silent?" He asked, as he started playing with my hair, rolling it around his fingers.
"Nothing." I whispered.
"There is something I want to talk to you about, I don't know if you already know about it." He said to me,
I already know what he is about to say, but I will pretend not to know.
"What is it?" I asked anyway, whispering again.
"When you were unconscious, your mother said you will get betrothed to me after you wake up." He said to me,
"Really?" I asked, being a pretender.
"Yes, but I will want us to know each other more before getting married. What do you think?" He asked for a conclusion.
"I don't know what to think or say."I replied to him.
"I want us to date first, I heard you haven't dated before. How about you start now. Don't worry, I haven't dated before either." He said to me,
"Fucking lier." I said and laughed softly.
"I am not lying. I have had eyes on you for ages now. I am your secret admirer. I also have been waiting for this moment for ages." He said to me,
"To do what?" I asked curiously.
"Isn't it obvious?" He asked, but before I could say anything else, he quickly added,
"To confess my feelings for you."
I cleared my throat and tried lifting up my body again, but he was still holding me tightly.
I then shifted my body to lay on him comfortably.
"Eunice?" He called out my name.
"Yes Raymond." I called out his name back.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He proposed to me.
Did he come out all the way here to ask me to be his girlfriend?"
I sighed very deeply and cleared my throat and remained silent.
"Is that a yes?" He asked, but I still didn't say anything.
"It's fine if you are not ready. I will wait for you." He assured me.
Who cares about assurance these days.
Words aren't actions.
"Please say something." He pleaded.
"Yes, I am not ready." That was all I was able to say.
It was harsh, but that was all I had to say to him.
"I promise , I will never give up on you, even if you do. I will be with you until the very end of time. If you will live for a hundred years and a day, then I will live for only a hundred years, because I can't live a day without you." He said and whatever that was.
"Are you sure that you can keep to that promise?" I asked him and laughed softly.
"Yes, I promise." He said.
"Are you really willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" I asked and laughed softly again.
"What if I never die or never grow old?" I asked him and raised my face to see his face.
"What do you mean?" He asked curiously.
"I think the scientists are telling the truth." I said to him,
"It's true that you resurrected, everybody knows that." He said to me,
"That's not what I mean." I said.
"So what do you mean?" He asked curiously.
