Stay With Me

Chapter - 32

[ 15 days later]

We meet almost everyday. But today I heard sad news. Not a sad news actually but his university will start next week. It means we will not meet daily. And meeting him everyday has become a habit for me. So I am feeling a bit sad. Next week means only 3 days left. Today is Thursday. Friday and Saturday are weekly holidays so I can't meet then. And his class will start from Sunday. So today's our last date before his university opens. I text him.
Me : Babe, missing you.
Jeremy : Aw, you too.
Me : I will miss you a lot.
Jeremy : Don't be sad, babe. I am not going anywhere. Whenever I get holidays, I will come to meet you.
Me : Sure?
Jeremy : Of course, love. Besides, I have a gift for you.
Me : What? What?
Jeremy : Come. I will give you.

I am so excited. He is so sweet. Such a dear. I should take something for him too. He will be happy.

[ At our date]

I am super excited to see what he has brought for me. He carried a bag.
Me : Why did you bring your bag today?
Jeremy: Because it has something for my lovely babe.
Me : What? Give me, please.
Jeremy : No, I will not.
Me : Why?
Jeremy : Kiss me first.
I kissed his lips.
Me : Now give me.
Jeremy : No, I will not.
Me : Why? I have kissed you.
Jeremy : Give me a hug.
I hugged him.
Me : Give me now.
Jeremy : No, I will not.
Me : Now what?
Jeremy : Marry me.
Me : How can I marry you now?
Jeremy : Haha. Wait, I am giving.

He opens his bag and takes out a red rose. Wow! I love red roses.
Me : It's so beautiful.
Jeremy : Just like you.
I smile.
Me : I also have something for you.
Jeremy : WHAT?
I bought a Kitkat for him.
Me : Here's your gift.
Jeremy : Aw, my adorable Bella.
He kisses me.
Me : Cutie.
Jeremy : What does Bella mean?
Me : Bella means beautiful.
Jeremy : You're the most beautiful girl in my eyes, Bella.
Me : Aw. Love you.
Jeremy : Love you too.
...........

Jeremy : Bella, you haven't told me about what really happened that night.
Me : I did.
Jeremy : I want to hear from you again, Bella. Please.
Me : Why? That isn't something good to tell.
Jeremy : But still I want to know. Bella, tell me please. I beg.

I start to tell him everything. When I started to tell about the torture my dad had done to me, I cried. I am crying a lot. He hugs me tightly. So tightly. I wrap my arms around him. He buries my face in his chest. He kisses the side of my head continuously. I am still crying. I free myself from him and I am sad. Tears also fell from his eyes. I hug him again and kiss his cheek.
Me : Don't cry, Jeremy. I am here.
Jeremy : I am sorry, Bella. I couldn't save you.
Me : Don't say this. You will always save me.
Jeremy : As if I will never be there to save you, what will you do? As if your parents never want you to marry me then what will you do?
Me : I will still keep loving you, Jeremy.
Me : You waited for me Jeremy. I never expected it. Thank you. What if I never returned to you?
Jeremy : I would wait forever for you.

He kisses me again. I wipe off the tears from his eyes. I put my head on his chest. He wraps a hand around my waist. We both close our eyes. A feeling we really need now.
