It All Started With Hatred-Chapter 124: I won’t leave. I promise

Sitting back in her seat. Petal looked away Blushing. Ethan wasn’t satisfied with just a kiss on the cheek. He will make sure to get his full ones, they reach the countryside house.

"Tell me. Who was that man?" Ethan asked her. Reaching to tug the hair strands that front her face behind her ear.

At the mention of that man. Petal smiled. She didn’t know why but she felt her life would have been easier If he was her father. He had that kind look that her father never looked at her with."He said that he’s my uncle." She replied, signaling.

Ethan’s body froze. His fingers that were running through her hair paused before it continued. "This must have made you happy. To see a family member." He said seeing the smile on her face.

"Yes. He seemed kind. Unlike my father." She replied, signaling and looking down at her lap hiding the sadness in her eyes.

The way her father treated her over the years is something that she didn’t think that she could ever get through. He viewed her as a monster that he brought to the world. There was a point in her life that Petal hated herself but as she grew up. She learned to accept herself.

Ethan noticed it. Everything that was going on in her head. The feelings that she was feeling right now. "Don’t think about the past, PetaI. Let’s just enjoy the time we have now. " She heard him say.

Petal looked up at him. His words moved something inside her. He’s right. She thought to herself. Nodding her head. Ethan started the car and drove towards the countryside house.

Ethan rubbed his chin as he drove the car with his other hand. A new obstacle had appeared in his way. Petal’s uncle appearing now will only complicate everything. Ethan had only heard about this man but never saw him. Ben Santos had left the family after he was forced to give his position in the mafia to his younger brother. Since that time no one has heard anything about him.

Petal noticed that Ethan was in a bad mood today. And she wondered why. She also noticed his reaction when she told him about her uncle. She didn’t show him that she noticed it. It seems that there are too many things that she isn’t aware of. The only person who could give her this information is Jacob. He has been involved in all of this more than her. He might know a secret or two about Ethan that she didn’t know. It’s not like she doesn’t trust him. But it’s better to be cautious.

When they reached the house. The first thing they did was to prepare their lunch. Petal was too hungry. She ate the salad while she was making the main dish. Ethan couldn’t help but laugh. She moved around the kitchen with a carrot in her hand while she prepared the food. She was too damn cute in the pink apron that he bought especially for her.

Petal noticed that Ethan had a thing with the pink color. Everything he buys it for has to have a pink color in it or a completely pink one. Does he like seeing her pink? She wondered.

As she was stirring the soup. Petal glanced at Ethan who was preparing the strawberry juice that asked him to make. His white shirt sleeves were folded up showing his arms. His hands and arms were thick and strong. Veins on his arms were visible to see. Every time he used his hands, The Veins would pop out more. He takes good care of his body. She noted. The perverted side of her loved how his body is bigger than her. When he holds her. She could barely be seen in his arms.

Shaking her head to get rid of these naughty thoughts. She turned to look at the soup that was ready now. With everything else being prepared. Petal placed the food on the table and the both of them started to eat.

As they were eating. Petal received a message from her teacher telling her to be early for school tomorrow. Next week’s schedule will be full. She will need to stay longer hours in school. She still hadn’t told Ethan about this. She figured it would be best to tell him tomorrow morning.

"School?" Ethan asked, seeing her texting someone on the phone and stop eating.

Petal nodded her head as she put her phone down on the table."It’s about the festival." She signaled to him.

Ethan thought about something. He had never heard her play the violin before. He wanted to see her but he needed to wait for the festival."Do you enjoy going to this school and playing the violin?" He asked as he scooped more food on her plate.

Petal smiled at his question. No one had ever asked her this question."Yes. At first, I thought I was going to fail but after three weeks, I discovered that I’m good at it and passionate about it. When I started playing the violin, Everything around me shut down and I forgot about everything around me. It’s a beautiful feeling that I can’t describe in words." She replied, signaling. Hoping that he understood everything she said.

Ethan’s gaze softened. His hand reached for hers giving it a firm squeeze. He never thought it meant that much for her. But if it’s something she loves then he will support her."I would like to see you playing the violin one day." He said running his thumb over the tender skin of her hand.

The small action made her breath hitch in her throat and she reached for the glass of water taking a sip from it soothing her dry throat. She felt nervous by his words. Alice told her that Ethan likes to hear instrumental music and that he has a good taste in it. Having him come to the show will make her nervous and worried that he will judge her. But she can’t just tell to not come.

After dinner. Petal and Ethan cleaned the kitchen and washed the dishes. After that, Petal went to change into the pajamas that she bought this morning while Ethan spoke on the phone. The night was chilly. So she got under the blankets first and waited for him.

Realizing that this was the second night they spent together. To Petal. It felt good having him sleeping next to her. She also liked this house. But she wondered why Ethan told her that no one knows about this house except for his brother. She couldn’t help but ask herself if he trusts her so much to tell her something like this.

Ethan entered the room and saw Petal already in the bed. She was leaning against the window staring outside at the cold night. She seemed to be thinking about something that she didn’t notice him entering the room. Taking off his t-shirt. He walked towards the bed.

Seeing his reflection in the glass. Petal turned to look at him. Her eyes fell on his necked chest and she tried not to blush. She had seen him many times like this now but it was hard not to drool seeing his perfect body. Even the houses in the club that Alice took her to weren’t as good as his.

"Am I that handsome in your eyes?" Ethan asked, teasing her.

Petal didn’t reply and lowered her eyes. Sometimes he says things that make her seal that mouth of his. Her hands touched the tattoo on his shoulder tracing the drawing with the tips of her finger loving the beautiful art. She took a mantel note to ask him about the meaning of the drawing.

Ethan adjusted their position and pulled her to sit in his lap. In his arms and with how big his body compared to his. She looked so small and liked it this way. He could hug her body to his and shield her from any harm. He was scared of losing her now that she opened up to him finally.

Ethan was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt her hand cup the side of his face before she removed her hand to ask him."You look sad, Why?" She asked.

Her question made him unseasonably happy. She could read his emotions. Good. He thought to himself."I am sad. Whenever I think about you leaving me. It hurts here so much." Ethan said as he brought her hand to the place where his beating heart was.

Petal looked at him frowning. It Pained her hearing him say this."I won’t leave. I promise." She said, signaling. Hoping her words will comfort him.

Petal changed their position and now she’s straddling him. Warping her arms around his head while she soothingly ran her fingers through his thick hair. She wasn’t able to tell her feelings in words but she was able to express her feelings in actions.

Ethan’s body relaxed, His arms sneak around her waist. His head buried in her chest taking in her sweet calming scent. That night, Ethan didn’t let go of Petal even after she fell asleep. He held her close, staring at her sleeping face. Her black hair was spread on the white pillows as she slept on her side facing him.

Ethan was tempted to caress her small ear but he didn’t want to wake her up. "You’re the colors in my life." He whispered against her lips, kissing them lightly before he pulled away, Continuing to watch her as she slept.
