Chapter 60: Two guys
Leopold comes in the bedroom, his cold presence weights on my heart and body, I can’t stand this situation.
“There is someone here to see you,” he says stiffly.
I sit up in bed and look at him with narrowed eyes. Someone here to see me? An unsettling thought makes my blood run cold. Did Zack followed us from the park? Leopold studies me with his blue eyes, he is surely noticing my strong reaction, I must be pale as a ghost.
“It’s your grandmother, but if you are feeling indispose I can ask her to come some other time,” he says.
It takes me a second to get up the bed. Grandma is here.
“No, I’m feeling just fine,” I say as I run down the st

I drag my tired feet to the front door. Just thinking about getting up so early tomorrow for Bearer’s Day is exhausting. I feel zero enthusiasm about the event, I wish I could opt out but of course, that is not an option.“Don’t drag your feet, Aubrey! It is inappropriate and it makes you look scruffy,” Matron Mary Ann exclaims behind me.“Sorry, Matron,” I mutter as I straighten my back.I’m already home, who cares how I walk? I do my best not to roll my eyes, I don’t want her to get mad at me.“You better improve your attitude for tomorrow, it’s a big day for all of the Bearers, you need to smile and look your best,” Matron Mary Ann comments.
Forever His Chapter 62: His past
The doorbell rings one more time. Panic washes over me. Leopold is home, I didn’t have time to destroy the letter. I can’t burn it now because if I do it the smell of burned paper is going to alert him. My hands are shaking as I try to think of what to do with the letter. The doorbell rings a third time. I hide the letter inside the fridge. The cold hits my face as I open and close the door hastily, the chill sensation makes me realize that whoever is at the door is not Leopold. He has keys to his own house, he wouldn’t be ringing the doorbell, he would just come in. As I walk to the main door I wonder who could be outside, I dread it might be Zack who got impatient from waiting for me to go meet him, it would be reckless for him to visit a commander’s Bearer and it could get us into a lot of trouble. I know he is silly enough to do something like this in spite of the risks, although I have to admit that part of me still longs to see him face to fa
Forever His Chapter 63: Blueberries
By dawn we are already coming and going frenetically to get everything ready for the event. Everyone seems stressed, even the Matrons. It is not just our group, all the Bearers are in a hurry to be ready: the group in charge of the beverages, the one in charge of the food, the one in charge of decorations… all of them are stressed so everything goes perfect during the event. As I mix the dough I think how absurd it is to celebrate Bearers by forcing them to get up at daybreak and work like crazy, it should be the other way around, they should celebrate us by giving us a break from our daily responsibilities, not give us more.“The oven they assigned to us is not working!” Alice cries out clearly distressed.“What?! Why?” Paula asks.“It Wendy’s fault! She was messing with the knobs and now the oven doesn’t work,” she
Forever His Chapter 64: Meet Wendy
Alice turns pale as a ghost while Wendy keeps calling her slut out loud. Although she is not technically calling her that, Wendy is merely repeating what Alice said a few hours earlier when referring to Melody; unfortunately, no one besides Paula and me knows it, so from everyone else’s point of view, Wendy is calling Alice a slut. The whole group and a few bystanders look at Wendy astonished. Alice’s son starts to cry hidden behind his father’s legs. I guess Matron Mary Ann was within earshot because she arrives almost immediately and clasps Wendy by the arm to drag her away from us while she scolds her for using that kind of language.“Wendy, I told you to be in your best behavior…” she reminds her as she drags Wendy out of the Forum.Once the Andersons get over the surprise, their eyes glint with malice. They are the kind of people that enjoy others
Forever His Chapter 65: I’m not a man you can lie to
(Leopold’s P.O.V.) I storm into the main building fo the Ministry of Females, enraged. I look around me until I spot Mother Addison a few yards from where I’m standing. She is rehearsing the speech she is about to give in front of a Matron that smiles kindly at her while she listens. “Do you think you can mock me?!” I ask infuriated as I walk toward Mother Addison. Both women look at me perplexed, they are probably taken aback by my rude tone of voice. After all, she is the head of the Ministry of Females and I am just a commander. All of a sudden, Mother Addison lifts her chin proudly, letting me know she is not going to be intimidated by my Shark attitude. “Commander Mortensen, I urge you to reconsider how you speak to Mother
Forever His Chapter 66: A brief encounter
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)The show is starting, a thin and tall man appears on the stage. Along with the man, music starts to play and behind him, eight ballerinas come out from the back red curtain twirling graciously. The audience starts clapping as they watch attentively. Alice’s boy gasps, amazed by the slender ballerinas.The show consists of various types of dances one after the other. I’m so focused on watching them dance that I don’t notice Leopold until he sits beside me. He puts his arm around me and leans toward me.“Aubrey, we have to talk,” he whispers to my ear.I turn my eyes to see him. He holds my gaze and a smile tugs at the corners of his mouth. I must seem surprised because I am. Why

Matron Mary Ann takes me back to Leopold’s house. I spent the whole way here thinking about Zack’s kiss. I have to admit it was not as unpleasant as the first time he kissed me, I dare to say it was even somewhat enjoyable. Regardless, I know it can never happen again, and I don’t want it to, Zack was a big part of my past, I had a huge crush on him for a very long time but that was before. Now my feelings have changed, the things I felt for Zack are gone, I can no longer find them within me, although I can still recall the way I felt which helps me realize that whatever I felt for Zack pales in comparison to what Leopold makes me feel. Right now, I am disappointed in Leopold because he denied me the chance to explain the situation to him, but deep down my heart longs for him to reconsider, I’m certain I will forgive him in the blink of an eye if he apologizes to me. I don’t know if he ever will apologize but what I am sure of is that there i
Forever His Chapter 68: White lies
I take a seat on the waiting lounge, my head is spinning. The idea of Leopold dying is unbearable. I can’t lose him, I would rather live with his sullen ways than being without him. He is ill-tempered and intimidating but deep down he is not so terrible. The truth is that I love him, maybe I shouldn't, but I do. Even I have a hard time understanding the way I’m attracted to him, but I am, I like to make love to him, to wake up next to him, to kiss him. There is still so much I want to experience next to him, to feel with him and to say to him. If he dies we will never have the chance to make things up. He can’t go like this, it will crush me.After today Mortensen won’t be a problem anymore. The sentence crosses my mind like lightning. After today Mortensen won’t be a problem anymore. That’s what Zack said… why would he say that? I asked him and
