I know that you love me

JULIA'S POV

It was about nine in the morning when I decided it was time to get up. Ken was still fast asleep, so I decided to quietly get up and prepare us both breakfast.

I got out of the bed and put on the robe that was laid on the ground and then went to the bathroom and completed my morning routine.

I then went to the kitchen to start doing breakfast. After looking around in the cupboards and the fridge, I decided to make some pancakes with a side dish of fruits, to keep it healthy.

I got out the ingredients and mixed and cooked everything according to the recipe that I googled.

I placed the food on the table after I finished. I then stood back and looked over everything I've done, feeling accomplished and in a very good mood.

I nodded to nobody and went to the living room to prepare my my bag for school, the next day.

"Ok, so, I start off with English course with the eighth grade and then with the ninth, I only have till twelve o'clock tomorrow!", I thought loudly and happily.

Suddenly I felt colder, it was probably because of the cold weather and the fact that my radiators weren't warming up well.

I decided to sneak into the bedroom to get a sweater. I entered the room and went to my side of the bed to where my dresser was, I opened slowly, not wanting to wake Ken up, and took out the sweater.

I then suddenly felt someone's hands on my waist, "God, Ken! You scared me! I thought you were asleep!", I screamed and turned to look at him.

"Oh, sorry, didn't mean to surprise you. Good morning, honey", he said with a smile on his face and then kissed me on my lips.

"I made breakfast for you", I said after pulling back from the kiss and Ken quickly got up and went to the kitchen and I followed him.

When I got there, Ken was already at the table eating a pancake, I giggled then sat down beside him and we ate breakfast together.

"It was delicious!", Ken said, and at the same moment I heard my phone ringing, "I'll be back", I told Ken as I went to the bedroom to check my phone.

I had received an E-Mail. I opened the E-Mail and the first thing that I noticed were some photos, photos of Ken and I kissing!

Shit, how could've anyone had them! We've always been hiding!

There was also a message sent with the photos, 'If you tell anyone about these messages, not only would the school see these pictures but I'll make sure that it's going to affect your friends and their children, so you better stay low, bitch.'

And underneath this message, there was an attachment sent. I opened it and there was a photo with Melissa and Carl playing with Emma!

Fuck, who the hell is sending me threats and why?!

I can't tell anyone about this, I can't let anyone be hurt because of this. I'll just ignore it and hopefully the person gets bored and leaves me alone.

"Who was that, babe?", Ken asked, entering the bedroom.

I quickly shut off my phone and put it inside my pocket as I told him, "Mama! She was asking how we are after yesterday"

He looked at me weirdly before nodding and I quickly changed the subject, "You cleaned up the kitchen, right?"

"Y-es, Julia, is everything alright? You are shaking", Ken pointed that out and I quickly clenched my fists and shook my head, saying, "Ah, no, I am fine, I just have a lot of tests tomorrow", I lied to him again.

"Oh, well, you can do it, sweetie!", Ken hugged me, "Would you like to go for a walk? To calm down your nerves?"

"Hmm, I think that's a great idea", I said pulling away from him and went to get ready.

I put on a warm sweatshirt and jeans and I straightened my hair and applied a bit of mascara and a nude colored lipstick.

Ken was soon done and we soon headed out.

---------------------------

After walking around for a while, we found ourselves in a park and that's when I started to talk to Ken about various topics.

"Ken, what do you think would happen if the school found out about... you know... us?", I asked curiously.

"What do you mean? I mean, I don't think they'll know any time soon because we are very cautious, you know? But if it got out that we are together then it would be probably be not bad and I think Brittney is the only one who is going to react to it", he said, "Why are you asking?"

"Yes, I know what you mean but you must remember that at the end, they will know about it, we can't hide it for years, Ken", I told him.

"Let's not worry about that now, Juls. They'll find out soon but let's enjoy ourselves meanwhile", he said and squeezed my hand in his.

"Ok"

"Oh, I just remembered, I have recently talked to Vincent, you remember him right?", I nodded, "Yeah, so, he invited us to his club, what do you think? It'll be a closed event and the club is out of town", he said.

"Well, it's a good idea, but when is the event because Melissa asked us if we could babysit Emma while she and Carl go on a date next Sunday", I told him.

"Oh, we can! The event is on Friday, at twenty o'clock and it'll probably last till the morning", he said, "Oh, and how's Melissa? I haven't heard from her in a while. And Emma is her six year old daughter, right?"

"Yes, she is. Melissa is great. Very excited for her new baby!", I giggled, remembering how she was telling me about the last scan that she did.

"Actually, Julia, I wanted to ask you something", he stopped and looked at me straight in my eyes, "Would you like to have kids with me later in life?", he asked.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Please, let this conversation end quickly.

I tried not to look into his eyes, "Yes, probably in the future"

I noticed his face become a bit sour but then that look disappeared quickly. I wanted to tell him the truth but I couldn't.

What if he left me?

"Melissa is not riding with us tomorrow to school. Oh, and I finish early tomorrow. With whom do you have in the last period?", I quickly asked to change the subject.

"Oh, I have with the eighth grade", he replied.

"Oh", I said.

"Julia,", he sighed, "I can see that something is wrong. You know you can tell me anything, right?", he said as he placed his hands on my face.

I sighed and nodded, "I know, Ken, but nothing's wrong"

"Promise?"

"Promise!", I said with a weak smile on my face.

"Now, how about we go grab something to eat?", he asked.

"Are you asking me on a date, Ken Roberts?", I asked him with one raised eyebrow.

He laughed and said, "Of course!"

"Then let's go!", I said excitedly, happy that we got to change the topic and focus on another thing.

---------------------------

When we got home, we started packing and getting ready for work, the next day and it was about nineteen o'clock when I got an E-Mail again.

Please, let it be something from school, I am begging, please, god.

I sighed as picked up my phone and opened the damned E-Mail.

'Let's start playing, bitch. Your first mission is to get rid of your friend, Melissa Persch. Unfriend her, make her believe that you don't need her. If you don't, haha, you already know who I am going to punish. You only have five days for it. I am also going to make them suffer if you aren't done in the given time'
