Chapter 324: Disguised but real
Grey was too shocked. "Aphrodite?" He called as Aphrodite pulled back.
"What?" Aphrodite smiled. "As smart as you are, Grey, there’s something you don’t always understand. That’s the way to a woman's heart," she revealed and pulled back the more until she was out of Grey's arm. 'You just asked me a very difficult question, Grey."
She looked away and left Grey hanging. He was more than shocked.
Maybe it was true that Grey didn't understand the way to a woman's heart but it wasn't entirely his fault. There was no way he would even think so far of something with Aphrodite. Aphrodite was supposed to be his close person. Who would think that Aphrodite was in love with him?
"I've had a boyfriend, one," she started as she stared out through the window. "Just one but I had a lot of lovers, sex man. I just have men for sex, not because I love them. The first guy I dated after you went missing was the only boyfriend I had and we broke up a year later. Since then, I have been clubbing and you know-," she chuckled. "It's not really a nice experience."
"I know," Grey laughed. "I mean I've been in different positions as well."
Aphrodite nodded briefly. "Actually, I was in love with you before you got missing. And I couldn't handle it after you got missing," she looked up at him.
"What!" Grey exclaimed softly. 'You have?"
Aphrodite nodded once. "So, I was not able to date any guys because I had my heart with you."
"But what if I didn’t come back? Does that mean you wouldn't have anyone in your life?" Grey couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Aphrodite smiled. "I sincerely don't care, Grey. I don't! I will rather be a mafia boss than date someone that isn't you."
Grey shook his head briefly. "Novia, don’t do that."
Aphrodite smiled briefly. "That's how much I love you, Grey. I actually thought it would get better after you came back but I discovered you were married already and now-," her voice trailed off.
"I-," Grey was still short of words. "Novia, I'm sorry but I sincerely don’t think this relationship can work. I mean I have a girlfriend already and you-."
"I understand," Aphrodite said suddenly, cutting him off. "I haven't been complaining and I won't. All I want to say is I will always love you forever," the door opened, and she got out.
Grey found himself staring right at Aphrodite. What was she even saying? How could a girl promise to love a guy forever? It doesn't even make any sense.
But Grey knew that Aphrodite wasn't someone like that. She definitely wouldn't lie and she wouldn't unnecessarily be so bitter. She was always so strong and very independent.
When Grey entered the store, Aphrodite moved closer to him and pulled him towards the other side. She was already back to normal as if nothing happened.
"I think they have pretty nice suits here, why don't you buy yourself some of it."
"No, Novia. We are here for you and not me," Grey stressed out.
Three men were behind them already, walking slowly and giving them space but still making sure everything was alright with them.
