Chapter 53 Keeping it a secre (2/2)
”It's late for you to cook for dinner. How about we call for a takeout?” he suggested after he helped bringing the things inside.
”You did say it's already late. I think it's better for you to leave.”
”Ryn~” Jeremy looked at her sadly.
”Thank you for the gym, the meal and the grocery. I don't want to be the reason Superstar Jeremy in the tabloid.”
”I don't mind so why should you?” he stepped forward, closing the distance between the two of them.
Ryn took a step backward to distance them back.
And he kept stepping forward.
They kept moving until she had no more space to move, being blocked by the wall at him.
She gulped nervously.
”I know we are still not official but just let me kiss you just once… please…”
With that he lowered his head until their lips touched.
It felt like their first time. He was clumsy but tried not to show it too much. She on the other hand stood still, nervously with her heart pounding so hard.
”I love you, Catherine. I love you so much.”
She did not say a word even though her heart bled to hear his words. She closed her eyes to still her heart. She did not want the wall around her heart crack even more. She did not want to get hurt again.
He finally left the house after another kiss. She leaned against the gate and watched the car driven away.
What had they done?
She sighed heavily. How on earth could she escape from the problem?
She did not want to face the heartbreak ever again.

Harry pressed the bell for a few times but still no answer from inside. He frowned.

”Aunty, open the door.” He called but still no answer.
Mumbling to himself, he took out a set of keys from his backpack and unlocked the door. Luckily he refused to hand the keys to his aunt when she demanded it back. If not how else could he come in and check on her?
”Aunty?” he called but it was quiet except for a familiar grunt.
He sighed heavily. He was right. His aunty was so into painting she forgot she needed to eat again.
He quickly arranged everything he brought into the kitchen. Then he prepared a simple peanut and butter sandwich and a mug of hot cocoa. He brought them into the studio where his aunt was painting a portrait of a woman lying on a bench, naked.
At first he ignored the painting, too used with the nudes his aunt always painted. However, later, just few seconds later, his eyes popped open.
Her face looked familiar.
”Aunt?” he choked out after few times gulping his saliva to control his shock.
”Hmm…?”
”What… what are you drawing?”
Angel mumbled something. Her eyes narrowed as she focussed on fining the background. At first she wanted to make it whimsical, like in a dreamland but later on, she decided to make it gothic.
”Aunty!”
”What?” Angel snarled at the person disturbing her work.
