The Ultimate Salvation

CHAPTER- 26 (Over the Top Mushy)

Spending time with Alden was good but it was also becoming unbearable because suddenly he had turned into this mushy sickly-sweet lover boy that I couldn't even recognize. He was picking me from my dorm room, accompanying me to all of my classes, setting up lunch for me and not to mention tried feeding me with his own hands, and then dropping me off to the dorm in the evening.

So, it didn't come as a surprise that today he wanted to celebrate a one-week anniversary of us being together. But it was a wrong time of the month and thus, when he took me to a candle light dinner and tried to feed me with his own hands...I broke.

"you love, should eat something"

"I'm not hungry, Alden"

"But, why love? And come on you should start calling me honey" Really?

"Why are we here?"

"Why?... we're here to celebrate our first week anniversary being together"

"Do people really do that?"

"I don't know love but we're doing it...now open your mouth"

"I can eat, Alden"

"Yes, but I want to feed you" At this point, I was so done with this conversation. My cramps were getting more and more painful and my head was hurting and this...this was getting out of hand.

"Come on love, open your mouth"

"Ok! You know what? I'm done" I stood up so abruptly that the table made a sound.

"What are you doing love? Everyone is watching. Let's sit down and talk" I stomped out of the restaurant with Alden on me toes.

"Stop, Love"

"Love, stop behaving like a toddler" I wanted to scream at him but the cramps in my stomach were making me dizzy.

"Love?" When he didn't get any response from me. He stopped speaking and walked behind me silently.

I came to halt when we reached his car and I stood silently beside the car with him at my back.

"Angel?" finally a word familiar to me. I felt such a relief.

"what?" I turned so suddenly that he took a step back.

"what's wrong?" I'm sure he just realized the look on my face.

"what's wrong? What's wrong? You tell me what's wrong?"

"I'm not following, baby"

"what's wrong is that you lied"

"what? When did I lie" he seemed surprised by my words. yes, when did he lie? The voice in my head suddenly asked me.

"you lied, you never told me if we become a thing, you'll start behaving like this" I ignored the voice in my head.

"behave like what?"

"Like this over the top super mushy guy"

My words somehow make him smile which only angers me.

"why the hell are you smiling?"

"over the top mushy...eh?"

"yes"

"I guess you don't like it, then?"

"Like it? OMG! I abhor it"

"Abhor it?"

"Yes" At my words, his expression suddenly changes.

"then, I guess I have to kill someone"

"What?" he's kidding? He has to be but the look in his eyes said something else.

"Yes, I have to kill Caden"

"Why Caden?" Isn't he and Rae a thing?

"Because he's the one who suggested it"

I cannot help but laugh at his expressions, he looks so cute. Like he detested the idea of doing it but somehow Caden managed to make a fool out of him.

"Oh, it's funny to you now, Isn't it?"

"Well, when you put it like that...Yes, it is"

"I'll show you how funny it is", He starts tickling me which only ends up with me in his arms and our faces inches away.

"Don't ever do that" I see understanding dawning on him.

"Never...but I'll always do this" with that he kisses me.
