Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

The melodious music played and Alicia's heart was pounding hard. While waiting for the phone to be picked up, her chest felt like being crushed by a mountain and her heart thumped like drum beats every minute and every second.

She felt as if she had waited for a century before she heard a familiar voice from the other end, "Hello, who's there?" Deep and cold, but as seductive as usual.

Alicia held the phone, but she was inexplicably nervous and excited and didn't speak for a long time.

"Hello! I'm Frederick..." When Alicia finally managed to adjust her breathing and speak, a slightly harsh but sweet and tender voice cfrom the other end, "Mr. Clements, who is it? Don't tellit is something important and you have to cancel our appointment. You have already promised to... listen to my lecture!" It was a clear female voice, and it sounded very close.

Without thinking, Alicia hung up the phone with a snap. Was there really a woman beside him? Listen to a lecture? He was going to attend a woman's lecture? When did he becso free and considerate?" Unknowingly, Alicia's eyes got teary. She was still dreaming! Why did she wish for him to miss her and stay single for her? Alicia laughed forcibly and suddenly felt that she was the biggest fool in the world! How could she take Frederick's words seriously? The love of a man may only be applicable on the bed! At least, it should be like this for her! But now, when she thought of those sweet words and lovey-dovey moments from the past, they felt like the biggest joke in the world! Then, the fire scene and the dark alley appeared in her mind...

She had really seen how heartless a man could be! They were both in the srelationship, why could the man be so unrestrained? When she was deeply in love with Jeremy, she couldn't accept another man for three years after they separated, but he soon got together with Lindsay, and they even had a child. She and Frederick had gone through a lot in life. She loved him deeply and thought that they would marry each other. She didn't expect that his love couldn't even stand the trial! She was not unreasonable. She didn't ask him to spend the rest of his life alone for her, but why? Why couldn't he hold on for even such a short time? How cheap her love would be, apart from him? Cheap? Haha, yes! Perhaps, their feelings for each other, from the beginning, were just an unfair romantic encounter! She regarded him as the only one in her life, but he only treated her as one of his women! No matter what had happened, she was still full of hope. She did not believe that he would beclike this, but the reality slapped her hard.

This night, Alicia let go of the burden in her heart, but she couldn't fall asleep, and her pillow was soaked with tears.

On the other side, on the university campus, Valerie was giving a Russian lecture. But Frederick was absent- minded the entire time.

He couldn't understand Russian. But her voice was so similar to Ally's. Every the closed his eyes, he felt like she was beside him. Moreover, she could speak Russian very well. It was exactly the sas when Ally recited Russian at home.

Frederick narrowed his eyes as he listened. He began to drift off unknowingly.

It had been a long tsince he felt sleepy. But at this moment, he was clearly feeling tired, and his mind was filled with moments when Alicia murmured into her headphones. He had asked her several times if she was scolding him in Russian She just giggled every tand reminded him to remind her the next tthey quarreled! His precious Ally always liked to laugh and make jokes. No matter how unhappy she was, she wouldn't show her blues to others! She was noisy and always so insensitive, but very cute! In a daze, he felt as if someone was calling him. Frederick opened his eyes and saw Valerie standing beside him. Most of the seats around him were empty, and those who stayed were mostly women. "Are you done?" Frederick woke up and asked.

Frederick sat up straight and turned his stiff head around. Then he got up and tidied his slightly wrinkled clothes. He sounded calm and he didn't feel shy or flustered at all although he was caught sleeping. "Yes, was it very boring?" Valerie asked. It even made him fall asleep. This was definitely an insult and disrespect to the person who gave a lecture.

However, none of it mattered to Frederick. "No, it's very nice! Your voice is very nice!" He said honestly. Instantly, Valerie giggled, "Mr. Clements, you sure have a way with words!" Cto think about it, he was willing to ceven though he didn't understand Russian. Didn't it mean that he was interested in her? She was in a good mood all of a sudden. "It's still early! The night market around the university is very lively. Let's take a stroll!" "Okay!" Frederick agreed.

He couldn't fall asleep until it was one in the morning anyway. Just when Frederick moved his body, a burst of jasmine fragrance swept over him. He frowned and said, "The smell on your body..." Had she had it at night? Did he not smell it earlier or did she just put it on? "It's jasmine perfume, elegant but unobtrusive. I like it very much!" She heard that he liked jasmine the most, and the place where he used to live was full of jasmine.

Valerie smiled as she lowered her head. She just remembered it. The The fragrance of the perfdidn't last long. She sprayed it before going out, but when they met, it was almost covered by the smell of her makeup and delicious food.

Frederick's face darkened, and the look in his eyes changed instantly. His Ally hated jasmine the most! She was totally different from his Ally! "I suddenly remember that I have something to do! It's getting late, let's go!" Frederick said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Frederick strode away. Valerie looked CO up in confusion What was going on? Why did he suddenly get angry? Did she say something wrong? She didn't have tto think; She ran after him. When he got home, Frederick went to take a shower first. He washed his body thoroughly. His Ally didn't like the smell of jasmines. His Ally liked to be clean! After making sure that his body was clean and there was no smell left, he got on the bed and wrapped her pillow around his arms.

After drinking a glass of red wine at the side of the bed, he flipped through the phone. He read their chat history, looked at the timeline, their saved wedding photos, and all kinds of photos. He listened to the last voice message Alicia left over and over again.

"Ally, I miss you so much! Why did you leave me? Why did you leavealone?"

"Don't you know that without you, I'm living like a walking dead as if I'm in a dream every day? I wish I were dead! Why is Godso cruel? Why did He Επ take my happiness away just when I could enjoy it?" "You will still missin that world, won't you? If you miss me, cinto my dream!"
