smiled back
“Wes, It made me sleep soundly. Thank you.”
“You welcome, Alice. And next time, if you are having problems, tell me,”
She looked satisfied. I did not even open the box of tea, but I knew she would be happy if I made her believe she was the one who solved my problem.
I just finished practising my program when I noticed Gideon leaning on the low ice rink board. It between us, but I hugged and kissed him.
“What are you doing here?” I asked hint,
“I just wanted to see if you are okay,”
I rolled my eyes, but it felt extremely good he cared about me so much,
t him, and I skated to him. The bound was
“I just had a breakdown yesterday. I’m fine.” I whispered, as Beth was close megli. Uhually, I took no hecals, therefore I thinught I could have a few. minutes. I checked the clock on the wall, then I looked at Beth. Apparently, she knew what I wanteil, and she nuded. She did not seem too happy, though.
I let Gideon go, then I skated to the gate. I grabbed my water after I left the ice, and I held Cadeon’s hand. We walked to the coffee shop, and be undered coffee for himself.
“I just came to see that you are fine. I’ll kill that woman if you come home again like yesterday.” He told me seriously, but it made me chuckle.
“No need. I told you. And I’m not promising it won’t happen again, but we can’t blame Beth for that. She is just doing her job.”
He looked at me in a weirdly, then he had a sip of his coffee.
“I don’t care what her job is, Alice.”
I just looked away as I understood what he meant. I completely forgot that he had that side as well, fast because I got the nice and caring that did not mean he was a good person to others.
He drank his coffee, then he walked back to the ice rink with me. He kissed me beker he left.
I just got back on the ice when I met Beth’s angry gaze. Iated to her.
“Alice, I really don’t like this.”
“He only came once, and I’m here on time.”
“Your mind must be here. You must think about your program, your elements, your skating. You have to focus if you want the gold medal. Understand?“. She scolded me.
“I do, Beth. He is back to work from today, so don’t worry, he won’t come often.”
She nodded, and apparently she did not calm down at all. I felt like she wanted to punish me from then on. I felt exhausted again after I finished my training, but this tiene I was tired physically only
When I arrived, the only thing that I wanted was a luath, to allow my uncles to relax, but when I stepped into the house, an unfamiliar snice made me jump.
Welcome home, Alice. I’m just about to finish lunch. What time would you like to eat?” —
Fcompletely forgot I asked Gideon yesterday I call her. I held my forehead
“Biora, I’m mary. I just completely forgot that you would be here today. I’m not hungry yet. Do not rush. I want to have a both firs

I could see her facial expression changed, but she kept her smile.
problem. Just let me know when you are ready.”
She was
about to burn around, but I had a question.
“Where is Gideon!”
She turned back, and her honest smille came back, which I did not like at all..
“He is outside at the pool, chilling”
I nodded, and I frowned when she left. Her smile when I mentioned Gideon made my

car on my mind.
“Stop it. Alice.” I told myself quietly, and I headed to the pool. He laid on a deck chair comfortably. He only wore a swimming short.
“Aren’t you afraid you are going to get a sunburn?”
He smiled without opening his eyes.
“I have perfect skin. It never gets a sunburn, it
gets brown instead.
I sat down next to him.
“Seriously, how long do you lay in here?”
He turned his head to look at me.
“Not long
He sat up and looked at me. He stared at me for a little while before he asked me.
“What made my beloved Alice angry?”
I indeed could not control my emotions, I thought. I looked at the ground.
“It’s just….…….. never mind.”
I felt embarrassed. Once, I argued with him out of jealousy and I remembered well what happened after that. I stood up.
“Te going to have a bath. I feel like my legs can’t keep me any longer.”
He nodded, but he looked at me like he tried to read my face.
I just stepped into the house when he made me jump. I felt his strong arms under my knees and on my back. He lifted me up
“What are you doing?” I asked him, looking around quickly to make sure Nor would not see us.
“You said that you
feel like your legs can’t keep you, so I take you upstairs.” He stated.
“Gideon, I’m not paralysed
* know. But I love you. And if I can make something easier for you, I will do it” And he kissed my face.
“Gideon, we aren’t alone in the house.”
“So this bothers you that much?” He laughed.
I lowered my head while he walked to the bedroom with me.
“Alice, we are at home. We pay her to do the cooking and the cleaning. She has nothing to do with us and what we are doing. Get used to it,”
Icked my eyes and leaned my head on his chest. Breathing his scent made me calms a little.

When we arrived, he put me down on the bed.
“Would you prefer cold or hot water?”
“Colder, please.”
“Yes ma’am.” The way he said that made me laugh. When he put me into the water and took his shorts off to join me, I forgot every dark thought of mine. I just enjoyed his closeness. We spent about an hour in the bath, and just like always, when we were close to each other naked, we could not hold ourselves back.
