Pieces Of Perfection

Chapter 6

After meeting Bonnie, I was feeling less suffocated, and I was glad that I could talk to her about everything without the fear of being judged. I had no motivation to leave my bed for the entire week because I was still scared. Because of my condition, she asked Beau to give me space until I would call him. One day, I knew I would call him and talk to him, but the entire week was difficult for me to forget. As it is not a normal sight. The entire week, Bonnie stayed with me, and I asked my helper to help her get settled in the guest room. She was guiding me as my personal psychologist. I was glad and she took my mind off from other things. I often cried during the shower and woke up with nightmares. Because I was able to talk to someone who knew everything about Beau, it was easy for me to move on. I was guilty about the death, but I gradually understood that what happened to me was not right either, and Beau was trying to keep me safe. He was just protective of me.

On the tenth night after Mr. Liu's death, Bonnie went back to her house because her daughter was sick and her daughter was only four years old. I was feeling lonely at night, and I had no work since I handed over the work to Trever for a month. He was keeping Beau updated about it as my condition was not great.

At night, I was laying down on my bed. I was thinking about a lot of things. I was thinking about going to the church and praying. I was also thinking about Beau. I wanted to hear his voice so I called him.

He picked up the call and asked, "What's up?"

"Can we just keep the call this way and stay silent? Let's just listen to each other breathe but not talk until we fall asleep?" I asked.

"Sure! Let me put your phone on speaker and lay on bed, " He replied.

We were quiet for hours, it was silent and we could hear each other breathe. Until I dozed off.

I woke up the next day with a long message from Beau. The message said, "I remember when I saw you for the first time, you were happy and filled with ambition in your eyes. There is not a single mountain that I would not move to keep you happy and safe, and if my doings to keep you safe ever hurt you, well then, I am sorry. Know that I never meant to scare you or hurt you. You put your life and career at risk when you knew you have everything to lose just so you could be with me, and I will willingly put myself before you. If one of us ever dies, I hope I die before you because the thought of living life without you is unbearable. I just cannot imagine. I will love you through your lows, and I hope you love me through my lows. When you can not sleep, I will be there by your side. I will drive you to your work, mall and many other places. I will be at your service. When you said that you were mine, you were right. You are mine. But when you said that I am not yours, you were wrong. I am yours. I always was, even before I met you. I am not someone who will accept my feelings or show love verbally, but I hope you understand it through my actions. And maybe I thought you were already my girlfriend, and I was already your boyfriend starting from the day you lost your virginity to me. I avoided meeting new people and introducing you as my girlfriend to my clients and partners because I want you to be safe and nothing in the world matters to me more than that. You are the only family I have right now. And I hope one day, before we know it, we become parents."

I was moved by the message, and I feel like I am a simp for him as well. I give in easily when it comes to him, and I know I will never forget him. I replied to his message, saying, "Come home, I will be waiting for you."

It took exactly ten minutes for him to come to me. He rang the doorbell thrice without waiting, and my helper opened it. Shawn came along with him. Shawn handed me the key, and I asked him, "What is this?"

"My house key, in case you want to move in with me," Beau replied and looked at Shawn.

Shawn said, "Can you give me your house keys so I can make a spare key for Mr. Beau. He does not like waiting for someone to open the door for him."
