Memory Of Love
The Part 37

Because of the many things she thought about, Casey found it difficult to concentrate on her work today.

All the company data he read, nothing can be understood by him, until several times he had to repeat his reading from the beginning.

And Steve, who was accompanying her in her study, seemed to notice Casey's movements.

Until finally, Steve approached Casey who was sitting in his chair.

"I'm sorry ... But is there anything I can help you with?" steve said, slowly, while still keeping his distance standing, because Casey was checking confidential data.

"Huuffft...!" Casey snorted violently, then closed the file sheet on the table. "Close to here! ... It's okay."

Hearing Casey's invitation, without lingering any longer, Steve immediately approached Casey.

Casey stood up from his chair, directed Steve to take his place, and Casey sat down on Steve's lap.

Steve hugged Casey, rubbing his back slowly, and said,

"Since last night, you've looked lethargic. Are you sick?"

"No ... There were only a few things that bothered my mind" Casey replied, leaning against Steve's chest.

"Do you want to talk about it?" steve asked, who seemed to be trying to make Casey feel better.

"I don't know where to start" Casey replied. "But you don't have to worry. Just hug me tightly! I like it."

"Pffit...!" Steve laughed restrainedly. "You just like my hug?"

"I love everything you've got" Casey said, then kissed Steve, for a while.

"Am I too greedy, if I want you?" casey asked, staring at Steve.

"Then we're both greedy. Because I have the same desire, too" replied Steve, smiling.

"Casey...! I still can't believe that I can hug and kiss you like this. If it's just a dream, then I don't want to wake up from my sleep forever" continued Steve, who stroked Casey's cheek gently, with one hand.

"Pffit...!" This time, Casey laughed, then leaned his face around Steve's neck, so that he could sniff, the smell of the man's body.

"Is it possible that you will leave me?" ask Casey.

Steve remained silent.

"Why didn't you answer my question?" ask Casey, again.

"Casey! I'm sorry ... But I'm really curious. If judging from some time I spent with her, your Grandpa seems to love you very much....

... Then why did he set you up with Aaron? Is your Grandpa more concerned with business than your happiness?" steve said, which sounds cautious.

"Hm ... I'm the one who should apologize to you, because I haven't told you everything" Casey said.

"According to Grandpa, and also justified by Lionel, before I lost my memory, I loved Aaron. That's why, until Grandpa approved the proposal from Aaron's family," Casey continued, telling the truth.

Steve was silent for a while.

And when Casey lifted his head and saw Steve's face, the man looked disappointed, and as if he was just forcing himself to smile at Casey.

"Steve...?" casey said, staring at Steve.

"I appreciate your honesty. And I was actually expecting it. But.... When I heard that firsthand, it hurt a lot to me" said Steve, who seemed to have trouble keeping a smile.

"Oh, gosh! ... I'm sorry" Casey said, holding both sides of Steve's face, with both hands.

"No need to apologize. But, Casey...! I'm worried that in case your memory returns, so will your love for Aaron, and then you'll leave me....

... Then everything that happens to me with you is just going to be a dream," continued Steve, who was seen linking his eyebrows together, and lowered his gaze.

Casey fell silent.

It felt like Casey didn't dare to promise Steve anything, and right then and there, Casey felt very guilty about Steve.

Casey realized that she had never considered it before, and was just acting as she pleased, because she remembered her love for Steve in the past, and enjoying Steve's outpouring of love for him in this moment.

But what if Steve's words really happened?

Coupled with his engagement to Aaron, who still has no way Casey can find, to cancel it.

Of course Casey would only hurt Steve, and Casey did not want to hurt the man, who seemed to really love Casey.

"Casey...?" said Steve, who seemed to have raised his gaze back, and stared fixedly at Casey.

"I'm sorry for being too selfish, and constantly hurting you. I never thought about it before. Because all I know is that I love you and want to be with you" Casey said, full of regret.

"Nrt! ... Looks like I'm just burdening you. No need to think about that anymore. Whatever the odds are, I will never regret it....

"In that way, even if you go back to Aaron, I won't blame anyone. Especially blaming....

... That's not possible. Because it feels more than enough, the luck I get, if I can feel your love, even if maybe just for a moment," continued Steve, slowly.

"No, Steve...! Please don't say that...!" casey said, frustrated, lowering her head.

"Casey! ... Look at me!" steve said, raising Casey's face, holding Casey's chin.

"I will remain by your side, and give all my love to you. I'll enjoy my time as long as there's a chance, while you still love me....

...Casey! Hear me! I already know the risks. Even if you don't choose me in the end, you don't have to feel guilty....

... Because to stay here with you, it's my own choice" Steve said, apparently trying to convince Casey.

"Oh, gosh...!" Casey couldn't believe what Steve said.

"I've made up my mind that I'm going to stay in this country. Either I'll accept your offer to work for this company, or maybe I'll find a job somewhere else" Steve said.

"Ugh? ... Did you really mean it?" ask Casey, make sure.

"Yes ... I love you so much, my baby! ... I don't want to be a coward constantly, who foolishly runs away without trying, and wastes the opportunity....

... Because I feel, even if it's just a small possibility, but the opportunity is still there for me, to be able to get your love completely," said Steve, smiling.

Steve then brought his face closer, until his lips and Casey, then adrift with a soft and affectionate kiss, for some time.

"I just hope that you understand, if I'm jealous, when I see Aaron near you. Because I don't know if I can control my feelings anymore right now" Steve said.

"Hm ... If you are not jealous, it will feel strange and suspicious. Because it's possible that you've fallen in love with someone else" Casey said.

"Don't tease me!" steve said, then kissed Casey's lips, at a glance. "I love you, my baby!"

"Geez! ... Aren't you tired of saying it over and over again?" casey asked, mocking Steve.

"Of course not ... I will always say that I love you, so that you will never forget it" replied Steve, smiling broadly.

"I love you too!" sahut Casey, then back to lean his face around Steve's neck.

Although there is still a little worry left, Casey is more focused on the comfort he feels, when he is with Steve.

Moreover, after talking to Steve, while getting a warm hug and many times given a sweet kiss, Casey can feel much better, and continue to work.

So, before lunch break, Casey was able to finish his job.

And as always, Lionel must have come to pick up Casey in his room, during lunch break.

"Don't tell me you're still working!" said Lionel, glaring at Casey, who was still sitting in his chair.

"I'm done" said Casey, who was still tidying up his desk. "We're going to lunch now?"

"Yes ... Steve must be tired of waiting for you to work, too" said Lionel, glancing at Steve.

Steve, who had been reading a book while sitting on the couch, said nothing, and just stood up, then went to save the book, returned to his place.

"Where's Aaron?" ask Lionel.

"Ugh? ... Why are you asking me?" sahut Casey, shaking his head.

Lionel nodded his head.

"Yesterday, he was like a puppy that his master wanted to take a walk with him" Lionel chirped. "Then, today he didn't see you at all?"

"No ... I've only been with Steve, since this morning" Casey replied.

"Nrt! ... Why should we talk about Aaron? Do I have to think about what he's doing?" continue Casey, ketus.

Lionel finally fell silent, and just walked with Casey and Steve, out of Casey's study.

Because Lionel brought it up, in silence, Casey thought about Aaron, who didn't bother Casey today.

But according to Casey, Aaron's way of thinking is unexpected, because the man, it seems like he likes to behave as he wants.

Upon their arrival at the cafeteria, Aaron was nowhere to be seen.

Casey only sees Julie, who is sitting at the same table, with several other members of the board of directors.

On the sidelines of his conversations with Steve, Lionel, and Oscar, Casey occasionally remembered Aaron, who had not been seen anywhere.

But Casey did not want to linger to think about it, and preferred to focus his attention, on the conversation that took place there.

"If I didn't hear wrong, Miss Julie was crying in her study" Oscar said.
