Chapter 99 - Together (1/2)
”Alright, I will tell you what it was, but let's go and clean up first. Wait for me here and I will prepare the bathtub for us,” Cedric commented as he stood up.
Brione sat down on the bed and her eyes trailed off to Cedric's back. Her eyes widened and her face paled as soon as her eyes fell on them.
Birthmarks. He had it. He… He was Gavin.
She immediately stood up from the bed and ran to him. She caught up to him just before he opened the door of the bathroom. She hugged him tightly as tears started to flow out from her eyes, they streamed down like a waterfall.
”I knew it… It's you,” she whispered, sobbing uncontrollably. There were too many emotions that she was going through at that moment. She was crying unbearably and that was making her gasp for air. She knew she couldn't be wrong.
Cedric turned around and asked, ”you saw the birthmarks, right?”
”Yes, they're there. Both of them, like a map. You're Gavin and I'm sure of it. Don't you dare deny this now because I won't buy it!” Brione answered him as she wiped her tears. They kept on rolling down her cheeks.
He smiled and said, ”that was what I wanted to talk to you about, Bri. Let's do it once we have our clothes on okay? So come with me and let's clean up first.”
Brione nodded, still sobbing as she let him pull her inside the bathroom. Instead of going into the bathtub, both of them cleaned themselves up under the shower. She stared at him in silence while he started cleaning her up. She was still sobbing, so he turned off the shower and pulled her into his arms for a tight embrace.
”I guess you do know me really well,” he whispered as he kissed Brione's head.
”Did your memories also come back to you already? Do you remember everything now, that you are Gavin? I missed calling your name, I missed having you around, I missed you so much. Oh God, you are alive, Gavin. I have a lot of questions but it can wait. What matters now is that you are Gavin. Can I call you Gav now?” Brione asked.
She raised her head to look at him and Gavin nodded as he added, ”You can call me Gavin whenever we are alone together. But with other people, you must still address me as Cedric. However, it's much safer if you just call me Darling, always.”
”Okay then, Darling it is” Brione muttered.
”You will get cold. Let's finish cleaning ourselves up…” Gavin commented with a smile.
Brione nodded and both of them stepped out of the shower quickly. Brione dried his hair and Gavin too, did the same for her. None of them said anything and Brione could not help but stare at him with those lovely eyes of hers.
”I know I'm handsome but I feel like I will melt down if you don't stop staring at me like that. Can't you see how difficult it is for me to control myself not to take you right here, again?”
Brione chuckled because she had noticed how hard he was while they were taking their quick shower. Even though she was sore and uncomfortable after all the lovemaking, she felt much more absorbed with finding out that her hunch was right and the man with her now was her Gavin.
