Our Love Is Covered In Dust
Chapter 3
In my sophomore year, my mom was busy with work. Fearing that she couldn't take care of me, she temporarily arranged for me to stay at Jack Lawson's house. Jack Lawson was her long-time friend.
Henry and I went from being unfamiliar classmates to being in a relationship, where we would see each other at home even if we didn't see each other at school.
Such sudden change made us confront each other at home and ignore each other at school.
But there is not much reason to talk about teenagers living under the same roof. We are irresistibly attracted to each other.
One night after the high school graduation, we kissed each other in the empty house under the moonlight. The unfamiliar and burning desire ran rampant in the young bodies.
I stared at his burning and moist eyes. I couldn't tell where the intense heartbeat had come from. I trembled and took off my skirt...
"I have never been stingy in expressing my love. Nor am I afraid of regretting it in the future."
"I never expected that the person I loved would address me as a slut after enjoying my passionate love for ten years."
I looked at the wedding invitation letters piled up on the coffee table and laughed silently. Tears streamed down my face.
After my mother became seriously ill, Henry's father, Jack, finally couldn't bear it. He changed his mind and agreed to us being together.
The first thing Henry and I did was to customize wedding invitation letters. We wanted everyone to know about our relationship.
Facing countless difficulties, we had been sticking together for ten years.
Not long after that year, our families discovered our relationship.
We thought our parents would be happy for us, so we didn't think about hiding it.
As a result, Jack was furious. my mom advised us to break up with red eyes.
I didn't want to make my mom sad. I couldn't bear to see her caught between Jack and us and put herself in a dilemma anyway. Then I suggested breaking up with Henry.
At that time, Jack confined him to his room. Kneeling with his back straight as a punishment, he wasn't eating or drinking.
I turned my body to the side and dared not look him in the eyes. Out of the corner of my eyes, he suddenly bent his straight back after I proposed to break up with him. He was like a withered flower.
Henry lowered his head. With a blush at the corner of his eyes, he choked up and said, "Lucy, except you, I haven't thought about being with anyone else. Please don't give up on me, okay?"
Later, we continued to date each other secretly against our families' wishes. My tense relationship with my family made my mom unhappy. Only after she got sick did things ease up.
"Now everything is moving towards the long-awaited happy ending. We are about to embrace a happy ending."
"Perhaps everyone is as a song line says. No one will be an exception in this mundane world."
"Good times don't last forever."
"One can't always climb upwards."
"Is there no one in love, who lasts forever?"
