Chapter 67 The decision
Appareath, what I said shocked Lucas, but somehess, Gideon looked satished while he shook hand with him.
"Aker, I'm going to wait for you as the car." Gideon said, and even if I didn't want him to leave me here as I did want to expl like I expected, as soon as Gideon was far away, he poured his questions ons ine it to explain anything to Lucas, I nodded. Just
"Alive, where have you been? Why did you never pretact me
"Lucas, I couldn't, but it's a long story."
"You changed so much, you look so different, Alice, You said you go there to study, then you come back with a husband, with a family that looks like the mata itsell. What the hell is wrong with you."* "Trough" neatly shouted. He looked at me and frowned.
"I don't think Lowe you an explanation. After I moved to Los Angeles, I met Gideon, and I got married to him. I'm happy."
He looked at the ground after sighing
"And what about skating? Or you prefer to give birth to his chilen? Becoming a young mum, doing nothing in a laxurious envionment?"
He looked at me with pain in his eyes. That showed me he still wasn't over me.
*Lucas." I sighed, and I bugged him. He hugged me back, maybe stronger than he should have.

il I want it to stay this way." I whispered to him. He nodded, and after a few seconds, he let me
"I think I'll contine skating." I said and smiled.
He nodded again
"Then, maybe I'll see you in a competition. The way he said that hurt me, but I couldn't do anything about it. I liked him, but he needed to get over me. "Yes." I nodded, stilling
He looked at me once more, putting his hands in his pocket.
"Well, then good luck, Alice."
Then he turned around and walked away. His pain was visible, and I thought I would never forget his face when he said that, I watched him for a few seconds, then I turned around too. Gideon was in the cat, but I knew he watched the scene. I was concerned about having to explain everything, but in the car, he simply asked if I was okay, hugged me, and kissed my forehead.
"I love you, Gideon." I whispered,
He lowered his head.
*I love you too, Alice" He whispered to me.
The next morning, when I opened my eyes, I saw Gideon's handsome face. He was sleeping soundly next to me in our bed at home. I was still in a daze after yesterday, We travelled back straight after the funeral. Gideon asked me if I wanted to stay longer, but I had enough of Montreal. The loss still hurt me very much. 1 only remembered the letter when we were sitting on the plane on the way back to Los Angeles. It was with me all the time, but I never dared to open it. I watched Gideon. He fell asleep next to me. I decided to read
it. "Dear Alice.
When you get this letter, probably, I'm not existing anymore. I apologise for everything that I put you through. You'd have deserved a happy childhood, a loving family that I couldn't give you. I'm sorry I never was strong enough to leave with you. Pas sorry I was always: scared of his anger and the consequences. Even if you think the opposite, I always wanted the best for you, and I'd never forgive myself for my failure as a mother.
Please Alice, never give up your dreams. You are so talented and beautiful. You have the strength, persevering and toughness to have a different and happy life that I couldn't give you. He famous, be successful, and happiness will find you, I promise.
I love you always and forever,"

Probably she had a clear moment when she wrote this letter. I knew it wasn't easy for her, as the paper was snaked in a few places. She cried while the wasn't the best mother on Earth, I knew she loved me.
I couldn't stop thinking about her words. When I was a kid, I didnt understand why she encouraged me to be a surfall skater for a better life. But as I realized she wanted me to find happiness and escape our miserable life. I kept thinking about her face, herted, teary eyes when the bid farewell to me at the airport. That was the last time I saw her.
I needed to stop thinking about it, as I felt I was about to cry. When I got back the memories before, in and after the funeral, I wanted to conti thought that if she could see me from aboer, she'd be ponad of me for not pving up.

I had Gideon, and I couldn't be more grateful for having him, and I know next to him I wouldn't have any problem, but that was something that I finally felt I must do
I checked the clock; it was five am. I slipped out of bed, not to wake Gideon up, and I went to the bathrooms. After freshening myself up and got dressed, I tiptoed out of the room. The gym was waiting for me. I started training, but not like recently, I needed to get used to training about thirty seven hours a week, and I needed bo get used to the pain as well.
I felt the missed time. It was harder than usual, but when I felt like giving up, 1

Maybe the word, surprise, couldn't describe the feeling of what I felt, when I could smell thing delicious in the kitchen i way.
I stopped at the door, then I just watched him, appalled. He had his phone on the kitchen desk, and it played a video off how to cook breakfest while he cooked it himself. I had to smile. Probably, he felt I've been there as he turned around. He looked at me with a smile. "Breakfast is arly ready"
ser." I laughed. He laughed too.
"You can't laugh at me. If you think it's funny, then I'll give you what you deserve
"Do you mean a penishment?"
"Exactly
That made me laugh harder. First, I found that funny, second; If he meant the punishment I received last time, I didn't mind at all. He finished soon, and I helped him to set the table up. I had to admit that even though he probably made this breakfast as his first attempt in the kitchen; it tasted delicious, I only ate a little, as I needed something that gives me more energy, but as he put that kind of food on the table too, I knew he counted with that. Could he be more perfect? No, I thought.
After breakfast, I didn't let him clean up. When I finished in the kitchen, I went up to have a shower. He said he was waiting for me at the pool. I didn't want t down after I trained, so I thought I could swim. I took a bikini that I thought he'd like. It was a white one, but it looked nice on my skin. It looked browner after I spent a lot of time outside in the sun. I put my hair in a bun, and I walked down.
He watched me move

"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to swim."
He said nothing, he just watched me.
I jumped into the water, then I swam simsly, After swimming for a while, he jumped in too, and so I felt hus hands around me. I hugged ham, too.
"Don't you take a break?"

"Why?"

"Bet Gideon, if you want me to compete again, unfortunately I have to train a lot."
He smiled.
He kissed me tightly.
I really decided, but I also know when I competed, I was single. I never needed to find the time for someone else, too. I had Lucns, but he loved the ice just as much us I did.
He wanted to let me go, but I hold him tighter, and 1 moved my legs around his waist while I held him closer to kiss me. That surprised him, but he was in.
As I pushed my lower abdomen to his, I felt he was hard already. That made me want him more.
