Chapter 24: 23. Their Chemistry
The beat starts as Aaron smiled at Mary. Jayden noticed their mood together and got pissed since this was supposed to be his night and for Wendy to look up to him yet Aaron and Mary is stealing the spotlight.
Song Title: Way back into Love
I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
The crowd went wild as Mary's voice is so good that most of the students melt in amusement.
'Can Aaron even sing?' Mary thought to herself as Aaron lean next to her since she's holding the microphone and their faces are closer together.
The stadium was filled with moi and cheer as they really looked like a couple in love.
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
Aaron wink at Mary as Mary cannot believe that Aaron was a good singer.
"I didn't know Aaron can sing Babe." Wendy said as Zade smiled.
"Well I was planning for him to teach Jayden yet you insisted on making Mary as Jayden's voice instructor." Zade said. "Ehhh! You should have said sooner so we can buy some time to be alone toegther Babe!" Wendy said as Zade laugh.
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh
By hearing their harmony Jayden knew that they already lost to Aaron and Mary. He looked at Wendy and Wendy seems enjoying their performance as he smiled sadly.
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere
'Right, Winning or losing doesn't matter anymore as long as we have fuun together.' Jayden said to himself.
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
Aaron taps Mary's nose as Mary blushed and the crowd went wild.
"Ohhh Aaron was a bit clingy to Mary..." Wendy said as Zade smiled. "Of course because just like how the host announces the scoring of this musical event depends on the crowd on who will be the winner." Zade said.
"and catching the people's heart is what Aaron is good at." Zade added as the crowd went wild on their little lovey dovey show.
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
'Everyone is having fun...' Mary thought as she smiled beautifully on Aaron and he was left off guard.
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
Mary sings as she looked at Aaron who was looking at her passionately.
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
The crowd clapped and cheered for them to get married.
"Ehhhhh!!! Why are they cheering for us to get married?!" Mary asked as Aaron was silent after the song.
'My heart is beating fast... I need to make sure if I...' Aaron didn't think anymore as he grabbed Mary's waist and kissed her in front of the crowd.
"KYAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!"
Wendy grabbed Zade's shirt as she was stunned seeing Aaron kissing her cousin.
Zade stared at how Aaron kissed Mary differently from all the the girls he's been with...
In the end just as how Zade predicted it, Mary and Aaron won.
As they arrive home Steel died after hearing that Aaron kissed Mary on the lips to win the people's heart. "Why would you fvcking take advantage of my poor baby!" Steel said as he hugged Mary while crying his heart out.
"Don't make such a big fuz about it, It's not like Aaron did it because he likes me right?" Mary said as she looked at Aaron spacing out.
"Aaron?" Mary asked as Wendy interfere. "Let's all call it a night." Wendy said as Mary looked worried at Aaron before going upstairs leaving Aaron with Zade behind.
When everyone went to bed except for Zade and Aaron, Wendy tried her very best not to fall asleep so she can eavesdrop on what Zade and Aaron are talking about.
Zade opened the door as Wendy looked guilty eavesdropping.
"Hi..." Wendy said as Zade sigh and let her in.
"What's the problem?" Wendy asked as Aaron had been silent all the way home and it was unusual for him to shut up.
"Whatever happens here you are not allowed to interfere." Zade said as Wendy nodded as he walks towards Aaron and slapped him hard causing him to fall on the couch.
Wendy was stunned by how violent Zade is to Aaron as Zade step on Aaron's chest.
"You kissed her because you like her right?" Zade asked as Aaron couldn't answer that simple question. Zade stepped harder on him as Aaron starts coughing.
"Z-Za..." Wendy cannot bring herself to interfere since she promise Zade that she won't do anything.
"THAT IS JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION YOU SH*T!!!" Zade shouted and this is the first time that Wendy saw this side of Zade.
"I don't know Boss, My hearts just suddenly starts beating fast after she...." Aaron didn't continue as Zade starts stepping on him harder than he could until he start coughing blood.
"You just realized that now you sh*t?!" Zade asked as he kicked on Aaron's face.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! STOP THAT ALREADY ZADE!" Wendy said as she hugged Zade from behind.
"What's the matter if she liked Mary?!" Wendy asked as she was so confuse about it.
"You may leave this empire and never return." Zade said as Aaron looked at Zade.
'Was I really ready to leave him?' Aaron asked putting a thought on it.
"What?! No Zade! Let's sort this things out!" Wendy pleaded as Zade stared at Aaron as he bow down to his knees in front of Zade.
'I need to know this feelings ...'
"I was happy serving you Boss." Aaron said as he took out the Katana's gun and put it on the floor as a sign that he'll leave the empire just like what Zade says.
Aaron excuse himself as Zade didn't say a word. Mary on the other side heard the conversation as Aaron opened the door Mary looked at his buirsed face.
"Are you okay?" Mary asked as Aaron stares at her. "Don't look at me like that..." Aaron whispered as Mary looked concerned about what they did wrong causing Zade to be mad at him.
"We can explain to him properly that it was just for show!" Mary said as Aaron smiled. "It wasn't..." He said as he hugged Mary.
"Give me three months and I will make you fall for me. If you won't then let's just forget about each other and that this never happened at all." Aaron said leaving Mary dumbfounded.
"Mary...I think I love you." Aaron said causing Mary to tear up.
"I loved your voice." Aaron added as he remembered how he stays at the veranda next to the music room listening to Mary singing her heart out as it reached to him.
"I loved the way you step on my ego so that I would step out of my comfort zone." Aaron add as he touched Mary's face.
"I love seeing you being though even if your not.... It makes me want you to depend on me just a little bit." Aaron said almost whispering as his voice begin to crack.
He remembered how Mary act though hearing that her father will die and on how she smiled at Jayden when Jayden didn't choose her to be his partner.
"Then why are you leaving?! You can stay here and win my heart!" Mary shouted as Aaron teared up.
Zade starts crying as Wendy console him, They can hear everything in the library since the door is slightly opened.
"I don't understand babe..." Wendy said confused as Zade tries his best not to make a sound while crying.
"This will be the greatest thing that Zade will give to me." Aaron said as Zade clenched his fist.
"To let me go so that I can live and understand a normal life and love you better." Aaron added as Wendy finally understand.
Aaron left the mansion as Zade cried his heart out that night in Wendy's Arm
Their Chemistry was on top yet it was poisonous for Zade.
