Ch.25 It Ends Tonight

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Of course I want to know the answer! Who the hell is Cassy? I'm sure she's not my sister" she blurted out before slapping my right shoulder in annoyance. She's starting to lose her patience on me but there's nothing I could do about it. I'm afraid to know her reaction if I told her the truth.

"Cassy don't exist, Luna just wants to piss you off" I said with a blank expression on my face.

"I don't believe you. I know that you're not telling me the whole truth" She said upset. I can't afford to lose her now that I am starting to fall in love with her. I'd rather lie to keep her, than take a risk by telling her the truth.

"Let's not talk about this, it's not healthy for our relationship" I said gently before leaning closer to caress her cheeks.

"Keeping something from each other is not healthy either" she argued.

"Past is past Salt" I said sadly. I don't want to see her in pain, and telling her the truth will surely be painful.

"What you don't know won't hurt you and that's more important" I added.

She retreated her face from my hands because her tears are already starting to form, and it immediately broke my heart when it finally fell down her face.

"Can't you see that I am already hurting? You keep on saying that you don't wanna hurt me, but you're doing the opposite right now" she said between sobbing.

You're wrong Salt, I care for you that's why I can't bring myself to tell the truth.

"Salt I care for you, you are very important to me so please understand that I'm still not ready to talk about my past, and I don't know that Cassy. Luna is just being a bitch" I explained gently.

She didn't respond.

"I am telling the truth, trust me" I pleaded before lifting her chin up to face me.

"Thank you!" I said in relief and kissed her left cheek afterwards when she nodded. I feel that she's really not convinced but I'm still glad that she finally didn't insist.

"I love you, you know that" She reminded me.

"Of course I know" I frowned when she removed my hand on her chin.

"Then please don't waste it" She said before getting out of my car.

"I'm sorry Salt but I can't afford to lose you, I don't know what to do if I lose you" I said while slapping the steering wheel in so much guilt.

"Be sure to deliver it on time" I said to the sales clerk on the other line before hanging up. I bought a gold necklace for Salt as a gift for our second month. It's already late so no one is with me in the auditorium.

I've been practicing the song that I'm going to sing for her. I don't have a very good voice but I can still sing some low pitch songs. I chose the song when God made you by Natalie Grant. It is the first time that I will sing for someone, even Cassy didn't hear me sing before. 

Salt doesn't have any idea about my surprise because I want our second month to be special and private. Eleventh of December is the start of our Christmas break and all of the students will go home to their families for the holiday.

I was too engrossed in practicing that  I didn't realize that it's already two in the morning. I immediately stood up and closed my piano. I need to wake up early because we invited Salt's mom and Cassandra for lunch and the reservation that I booked in the restaurant is at eleven thirty.

The next morning came and our lunch went well and fun. They need to go home early because the snow is getting heavy and it will be hard for the vehicle to pass through it.
