Chapter 131: I promise I won't eat you tonight
The aroma of the pasta swept the house and soon Maijune opened her door slightly and closed her eyes, mustering up courage to go down.
When she got down she saw two plates of pasta and side dishes on the table while Aaron Saint's back was facing her. He was wearing an apron and looked handsome. She walked towards the table and he turned and spoke looking at her ''I thought you were avoiding me? Come and sit down, food is almost ready''.
Maijune went and sat down at the table without a word. Aaron Saint finished and brought two glasses of juice and set them on the table sitting across her. Maijune lowered her face and picked the cutlery and started eating. She was avoiding any form of eye contact with Aaron Saint. It was because she still couldn't forget what happened that morning and anytime she thought about it, her face will turn beet red and her body will turn hot.
This morning when Aaron Saint left after touching her, she ran back and took another shower, not because she felt tired but because she was feeling so hot inside out and thought she was going to burn out. She was so wet and aroused and had the urge to touch herself where Aaron Saint touched her before.
Aaron Saint ate his food not taking his eyes off Maijune for once. She could feel the burning gaze on her but didn't have the courage to look back. She quickly ate her food and drunk the juice before standing up to run inside when Aaron caught and held her hand. She froze the moment she felt his touch and didn't look at him. Aaron turned and face her saying ''are you going to continue behaving this way? Maijune, the more you shy away the more I want to do naughty things with you''.
Maijune turned at once and looked at him. ''Who was the one who bragged about wanting to sleep with me?'' Aaron asked surprising her.
''Youyou heard me? That's not fair''. Maijune said angrily.
''What is not fair? You were talking about me and I heard you''. He pulled her unto his laps and held her tight. ''You said I didn't find you attractive enough? Maijune, do you have any idea what it took for me to not do anything to you that night? I told you right? Not to speak nonsense or I will punish you'' That was your punishment this moment.
''My punishment?'' Maijune asked.
''Yes. But, seeing how you are avoiding me like the last time, I think I should teach you a lesson again'' Aaron said and leaned his face closer to her.
''No, don't. I promise to not avoid you''. Maijune intercepted and blocked his face with her hands.
''That won't do. In order to help you cure your shyness, I came up with a plan''. Aaron Saint said.
''A plan?'' Maijune asked sceptically. She suddenly felt the plan wasn't going to be a simple one.
''Yes. From now onwards, we will bath together''. Aaron Said with a smile.
''Huh? Bathing together? Why?'' Maijune asked.
''Because you are my girlfriend. Don't think too much into it, I won't eat you just yet. But, when I decide to do that, I assure you, you won't have any regrets. You will be happy about it''.
Maijune flushed red and looked away. Aaron Saint held her chin and turned her towards himself. He leaned towards her saying ''do you have any idea how much I missed you?''
''I missed you too'' Maijune said shyly.
''Really? Show me then, how much you missed me, August Maijune''. Aaron said teasing her face with kisses. Maijune cupped his face and kissed him and he took over and started kissing her deeply while roaming his hands all over her body.
EARLY DAWN.
Maijune stirred in the bed having a nightmare. Her silent sobs reached Aaron's ears and he woke up and saw her wet with sweat. She was perspiring. Aaron shook her up calling her name ''Maijune, wake up''. Maijune opened her eyes and hugged Aaron while crying.
''Hey, is okay. I'm here''. Aaron Saint said and patted her back comforting her.
Aaron Saint brought a glass of water to Maijune after she had calmed down and she took it and drunk. Aaron Saint took the glass and placed it on the table and sat behind her giving her a back hug. Maijune leaned into his embrace and started talking.
''When I was in high school. Around my second year time. I had a friend. She was my best friend. Her name was Julieta. Two days before my uncle captured me, she disappeared. I searched for her but there was nothing I could find on her. Later on, my uncle told me that she was dead and that she died because of me.
3 days before she disappeared, I was at home with my parents and this boy my mother wanted to adopt. She called me and told me to meet her up because she had something important to tell me. but I never got to meet her. I went to the place where she asked me to meet with her but she wasn't there and then that was it. I never heard from her. It was almost like she just disappeared from the face of the earth. Sometimes I feel that I am the reason why died. So many people died because of me. My parents died because of me, that boy who protected me, his name was Ali. He too died because of me.
Sometimes, I feel that I wasn't supposed to be born at all. Nothing about me is normal. Do you know something? When I went to my uncle's place and killed those people, after looking at their bodies, I didn't even flick. Instead of feeling guilty, I was happy and thrilled''.
Aaron Saint played with her hair as he listened to her.
''When I first found out that I had DID, I was scared. I locked myself up in my room and didn't want to see anybody. My first thought was that I was a monster. A monster who could harm the people I love at any point in time. It was so scary; seeing myself turn into something else. It was like, I was August Maijune yet I wasn't really August Maijune.
My parents fought at the beginning but they seemed to have accepted it and wanted to home school me instead.
I don't even know when it started. Was it when I first killed a person? I don't really remember but, it must have been then. My parents' first requested that I home-schooled so that people will not find out about my condition. My father thought he could research and come out with a drug to help me but it was too late because before he could even do it, my uncle had kidnapped them.
Aaron Saint, thank you for saving me from me that night. I could have died. I don't even remember how I came to you? I know you are hiding something from me though''.
Maijune turned and looked at him.
''That night, it wasn't a real accident, right? You didn't run into me with your car. Do you know how I found out? My legs. My legs are too fine after such a serious accident. If you had really hit me with your car, my guess is I wouldn't have been able to use my legs again or even worse I would have died. I know you are keeping the truth from me because you don't want me to blame myself, but, later. Later on, when everything is over. Whether I am August, Mai or Maijune, can you tell me the truth?''
Aaron Saint sighed and pulled her into his embrace slipping into the bed with her.
''Sometimes, keeping the truth from the people you love is actually the best way to protect them. August Maijune, don't try to think too much into the accident or how we met'' Aaron turned her to face him and kissed her forehead.
''There is only one thing I am afraid to find out. I'm afraid to find out the truth about our encounter. It didn't seem like a peaceful one. I just hope that it isn't exactly what I am thinking it is'' Maijune said and traced her fingers on his chest.
''What are you thinking? Tell me'' Aaron asked her as he looked at her solemn expression.
''I'm thinking that I probably tried to kill you. To be precise, Mai tried to kill you. I can't remember anything about that day because of the stressed I received just thinking about my parents. Aaron Saint, please, if I indeed tried to kill you. why did you save me instead?''
''Don't think too much into it. I promise to tell you everything later on, August Maijune. Sleep, is still early. You need to get enough rest before the wedding tomorrow''. Aaron Saint said.
''Right. Tomorrow is the wedding. I am so happy for big sis''. Maijune said and closed her eyes.
