Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Grayson visits Cady at home. The girlfriend was the first person he thought to talk to after discovering something from Chester.

Cady was surprised by her boyfriend's sudden visit because they had no conversation that they would meet. He noticed that her face was very serious and seemed to have something very important to say. Even though they hadn't been together in the living room for long, he could feel the tension coming.

Grayson first drank the juice prepared by the maid. Then it drew a very deep sigh and looked seriously at the girlfriend. "Cady, who is Kendall in my life?"

Cady's hands suddenly grew cold at the unexpected question. Gradually his face turned pale. But even before the man could notice how he felt, he forced himself to smile and act normally. "B-your new bodyguard. P-did you come here just to ask that thing? I guess you want me to be jealous of Kendall ah," he replied with a smirk.

Grayson didn't take his eyes off his girlfriend's face. He studied its reaction so that its pallor could not escape him after hearing his question. "Are you hiding something from me?"

"W-Why would I do that? What's the big deal with your bodyguard now?" Cady seemed annoyed.

"I know now that Kendall isn't really a new bodyguard. She'd been around for a longer time, that's why I always feel that I'm connected to her. Who is she Cady?" Grayson asked more sharply.

Cady was uncomfortable with the course of their conversation. He immediately grabbed Grayson's hand and pulled it toward the nearest guest room. He locked the door and faced the man with a serious face.

"Why are you asking me about that thing Grayson?"

"Because I'm wondering why you're even riding on keeping it a secret from me."

"Did you talk to Kendall about this matter?"

"Not yet ... I want to talk to you first. You're the person I trust the most Cady and I'm eager to hear the truth from you."

Cady turned her back on the speaker. He looked out the window and looked out with his arms folded. It has been silent for a long time.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Grayson's impatient language. "Say something!" Squeezing he approached the girlfriend and presented it to her. "Why can't you talk? Is my question difficult? Why are you keeping Kendall a secret from me? WHO IS SHE ?!"

"Because this is what she wants! She wants to hide the truth from you Grayson!"

Grayson was temporarily stunned as his eyes widened and confused. "And what is that truth that she's trying to hide? And why do you agree to it?"

The woman did not speak again. It just kept staring at the speaker.

"SPEAK UP Cady!" Grayson sighed as he gripped his girlfriend's arm tightly.

Cady's tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. "Because this is a favor for me ..."

Grayson was even more confused by what he heard. "And why is that a favor for you? CONTINUE TALKING Cady!"

"YOU CHEATED ON ME BECAUSE OF HER Grayson!" Cady suddenly moaned.

Grayson let go of the woman and she backed away with menacing eyes. "W-What are you talking about? I can't do that to you," he said smiling in disbelief at what he heard.

"YES YOU DID Grayson! You almost left me because of that woman. THAT WOMAN SEDUCED YOU! That's why I'm desperately hoping that you won't remember her forever!" Cady replied crying.

"Tell me you're lying Cady," Grayson said shakily.

"I'm not lying Grayson ... You hurt me because of that woman ...."

Grayson sat up weakly on the bed and shook his head. He tries to remember but not a single image pops into his mind. He did not want to believe what he heard. He faced his girlfriend again and seemed to be squeezing her chest as he saw her crying.

"I love you Cady ... and hurting you is the last thing I can do." He hugged his girlfriend to appease her. It gently punches him in the chest while crying.

"But you did Grayson ... you did. And I'm so desperate now to win you back. Tell me you'll choose me over her. Please tell me Grayson."

Grayson touched his girlfriend's teary face. He lifted it and stared. "What are you talking about? Of course I'll choose you."

"B-but you were in love to that woman."

Grayson was stunned again. He didn't want to believe what he heard anymore. "Stop joking Cady. What I told you is that I can feel some connection with her. I didn't say I love that woman. O-Or maybe I had a slight feeling for her for me to be tempted but it can't I feel the same way for you, "he explained while hugging the woman tightly. "I'm sorry if I hurt you ... I promise that it's not gonna happen again."

Sobbing Cady lifted her face. "But you liked that woman a lot Grayson ... I'm afraid he might take you away from me again."

"Ssshh ... stop with that nonsense Cady. What matters most is my feeling for you now. And my heart says that I belong to you," the man caressed and kissed her hair at the same time.

------

After the emotional conversation with Cady, nothing seems to have happened to Grayson back in the car. Then he looked at the patiently waiting bodyguard for a moment.

"Okay? Are we going home yet?" smiling its question.

"Yes."

"Do you have nowhere else to go?"

"Gone..."

He has no plans to confront Kendall about what he found out. He first feels himself and even the maiden’s demeanor. What he wanted was for himself to spontaneously discover its intention why it chose to keep the truth a secret.

He thought about what the girlfriend had said. Did he really love the bodyguard? He secretly stared at it and simply rubbed his chest. She doesn’t feel much weird. His heartbeat did not speed up either. But he could not deny that he felt relieved and he was happy when it was next to him especially when he saw its clear face. But still, it's not enough to say that he loves Kendall.

He did not speak to the companion while in the vehicle. He resists the urge to confront it. But Cady's words kept playing in his mind so as time went on the temptation to talk about it intensified. When they got to the garage he couldn't stand himself anymore. When he got out of the car he just remained standing by the door. He waited for Kendall to pass in front of him.

"Wait." He held the girl's hand before it passed him. Kendall looked at him in surprise. "I want to confirm something." Without saying a word he pulled it closer and hugged it tightly.

"Grayson w-what are you doing?"

Grayson closed his eyes. He wanted to know how it really felt in those moments. He took several deep breaths and hugged the girl even tighter. He pressed his cheek to his heart. Nothing changed. Nothing is different. He was not affected .... Until he gradually realized that Kendall was also hugging him.

His chest rumbled softly as he felt the woman's hugs. He suddenly woke up. Confused, he looked into the eyes of Kendall who at that moment was already staring at him. The throbbing in his chest increased. He wanted to get out of their embrace but something seemed to be holding him back from inside.

They stared at each other for a moment. Their eyes spoke as it was as if a magnet was pulling him closer to the woman's face. Gently his lips touched hers and he kissed her softly. The girl spontaneously returned the kiss and without hesitation they pressed a kiss to each other's lips. No one wants to stop and freely feel the feeling full of longing. Both do not know where to caress the hands.

Grayson's brain stopped functioning. He had forgotten everything. She doesn't care about the surroundings and all she wants is to kiss Kendall even longer. He lost himself for a while ... but when he regained consciousness, his eyes widened and he lost his grip on the girl. Softly he took a few steps back and held onto her throbbing chest.

"S-So this is how it happens?" can't believe what he said.

"B-Grayson? ..."

"I really did cheat on Cady because of you ..." he laughed in his own language

"A-what are you saying Grayson?"

"Who are you to me Kendall? Stop playing your game now. I know we've known each other for a long time and you're one of those people I don't remember. So now, tell me who you are in my life! A-are you my other woman ?! "

Kendall's whole body went cold. He did not know where he would begin to explain. "Why Grayson m-do you remember anything?"

"Don't answer my question with a question! I won't ask you anything if I remember anything. TELL ME WHO YOU ARE ?! AND WHY AM I LIKE THIS TO YOU!"

Kendall calmly faced the other's shouts and smiled at him. "What your chest is telling you now is that I am in your life," he replied seriously.

"Do you like me? Do you have feelings for me?" "Are we secretly dating behind Cady's back? ..." "Am I about to left my girlfriend because of you?" "Did I become this kind of man because of you? ..."

"ANSWER ME Kendall !!!"

"I don't have to answer Grayson because no matter what I say it doesn't matter right now. Don't force yourself to remember things you've forgotten because you'll just have a hard time. What you follow is how you feel and what will make you happy now, "Kendall's tearful answers rolled away as he averted his eyes from the speaker.

Grayson fell silent. He held it to his forehead and closed his eyes. "Stay away from me Kendall ..."

Kendall was stunned. "Grayson ..."

"I'm sorry but I love Cady ... that's how I feel now. A-And I don't want to hurt her again ..." the man said with his back turned.

Kendall wanted to laugh at what he heard. It was painful to receive such words from the person he loved but he strengthened the chest. She needs to understand the man because it’s not the normal Grayson who loves her.

"I'm sorry but I won't leave you Grayson."

"What do you mean by that? You just said that what matters to you is my feeling now."

Kendall swallowed. He took a deep breath first to avoid speaking in a trembling voice. "Grayson you are free to love Cady. Do what makes you happy. Marry her if she is what your heart cries out for ... but I will still stay by your side as long as I can .... Da-because that was the last promise I made to Grayson who knew me. "

"A-Kendall ..."

"Don't understand me. I'm ready to respect and accept whatever happens. I'm the one who remembers so I'm the one who's ready to understand Grayson ..."

"What are you saying Kendall?" asking for Grayson's explanation. His stubborn face softened when he saw the unmistakable pain felt by the other person. There was a lingering pain in his chest as he looked into the woman's sad eyes.

Kendall smiled hard. "P-I'm tired Grayson I want to rest. Don't worry I don't have all the things you said ... A-And if you want you can also consider it one of the ones you forgot something happened to us today. "

Kendall turned his back on the man. He hurried back out of the room. She worries that she might not be able to hold back the tears before she even gets here.

As soon as he entered the room he leaned against the door. One by one tears trickled down his cheeks. She slowly sat down on the floor and sobbed. She accepts even if Grayson doesn't recognize her ... but what she can't bear the pain is her face-to-face confession of love for another woman.

He wants to give up ... He is slowly losing hope. Does fate already indicate to him that he will not win this gamble?
