Chapter 140 - I Love You, Idiot

Ch-139

"Where is brother, Sister-in-law?" he asked with a shocked face. Was it even possible for his brother to leave his sister-in-law for a second?

"What do you mean?" Eleanor asked. 

"I mean… I never saw my brother acting like a sticky gum with anyone apart from Aunt Emerson. You are the first person after Aunt Emerson, he is acting like an annoying sticky gum," he said.

"Hmm… Maybe. I won't be surprised… if he wants to get a surgery where we both can be bound together for the rest of our life without getting separated," Eleanor said. 

"But… despite how crazy he is… he loves me a lot," she said as a smile crept on her face. 

"I am seeing his old self today with you. Don't let him lose it again, Sister-in-law," Raymund said. 

"Means?" she asked. 

"We all know that… Cedric loved someone but never knew who the woman was. One day… he came to us saying that he lost her completely. From then he was never his real self. He became a drinker and a soulless person. He tried to kill himself but it took a lot for us to get him back to his old self. But we couldn't… but he tried to distract himself after a few days. He became cold, heartless and the epitome of all negative emotions. 

"But… again one day he came to us saying he might have a chance. And then he became busy till we saw the news online," Raymund said. 

"He attempted suicide?" Eleanor asked. Her mind was struck only on the line. She never knew this happened to him. Or didn't know he loved her beyond death. Her eyes watered at the thought of Cedric lying in the pool of blood for her. A lone tear escaped from her eye. 

"Sister-in-law, don't cry. If no brother would think I did something," Raymund begged. Eleanor placed her hand on her face to feel the wetness of her tears. She realized she was crying. She wiped her eyes. 

"He attempted suicide? What happened after that?" she asked. 

"After that, Katherine came. She asked him to be for her and their family saying that… one day you will be back with him. And you know… blood is thicker than water. We couldn't compel him to live but Katherine is. 

"She was angry with you for days but later realized it's pointless.  She tried to contact you and let you know about Cedric and his love. But… she couldn't. Not because couldn't it just she can't," he said. 

"Why?" she asked. 

"Cedric asked her to leave you alone," he replied. 

"He did so much for me," she commented, casting her eyes lower. 

There was a thick silence enveloped between them. Many thoughts ran into her mind. Suicide was something she didn't expect from Cedric. Her chest tightened in pain. She wanted to go to him and hug him tight. She wanted to assure him that no matter what… she wouldn't leave him. A sob escaped from her lips. 

Raymund was shocked to hear sobs. But he could understand her pain. Moving closer to her, he hugged her tight. 

"It will be fine. He is fine and you are fine. In the end, you both are together," Raymund said. 

"He is the biggest stupid I have ever seen in my life," she said as she hugged him tighter. 

"He is," Raymund said. 

Eleanor broke the hug. "God, I hope… my mascara didn't wear off," she said. 

"I will get tissues," he said. 

"No, I have it in my bag," she said and took some tissues to clean her face. 

"He is such a fool," she said again. 

"That idiot is your responsibility from now on," he said with a smile. 

"Yeah… just like how I am his responsibility," she added. 

There was silence again. 

"Are you coming tonight?" Eleanor asked Raymund. 

"Yeah," he said with a sigh. 

"What happened?" she asked, seeing his sigh. 

"Nothing, We need to leave," he said. 

"Yeah… We shall wait for Cedric though," she said. 

"Yeah… *sigh*," he said with a sigh again. 

"Don't sigh!" Eleanor said feeling irritated. 

"Okay… *sigh*," he said. 

Eleanor just gave up. He was impossible to compel. Man… he was sighing like there was no tomorrow. She just wants to beat him up to pulp! 

"What is taking him so long?" she commented. 

She got up to take a look for him. Walking towards the backyard, she saw Cedric was talking to someone on the phone. He looked serious, she didn't want to disturb him. She was about to turn around. But Cedric met her eyes. He winked at her and gave them a flying kiss. She flashed a shy smile at him before she turned her heels at him. 

Cedric saw Eleanor come to see him. He hung the call immediately when he saw her shy smile. Walking towards her, he pinned her to the nearest wall. 

"What are you doing here?" he asked huskily. 

"Missed you," she said. 

"Really?" he asked. 

"Hmm," she said, lowering her head. He could see her neck turned red. Oh… god how badly he wanted to bite her and nibble that place. He wondered if that redness just stopped there or crept further. He wanted to kiss every inch of her reddened skin. Gulping hard, he tried to look away. 

"How much you missed me?" he asked. 

Pulling his tie, she slammed her lips on him. Her kiss was desperate and there was no place to fight for dominance. Because Eleanor got the upper hand here. 

Cedric didn't expect this from Eleanor. Because he was the one who always initiates hugs and kisses all the time. But it was a surprise to him now. She kissed him as if she wanted to gobble him up like there was no tomorrow. And she was standing on her toes for a long time, he wondered if she could hold it on longer. He pulled her up, taking that as a cue, she wrapped her legs around his waist. 

She traveled her fingers in his silky locks. Hugging him tighter, she felt peace and felt as if she was at home. 

She bit his lip, making him grunt against her lips. That was a trigger to him, he took the controls into his hands. He dived into her mouth when she opened her mouth. Slowly, Eleanor's dominance was overpowered by Cedric. And he got the upper hand on the kiss. They both kissed until they were out of breath. 

Cedric broke the kiss when he realized she was out of breathing. But he didn't stop there. He started giving her open mouth kisses down her jaw traveling to her neck. He removed her coat and threw it on the ground. He loosened two buttons on her shirt and slid the shirt down exposing her bare shoulders. 

He continued to kiss her and attack her skin. Everywhere he kissed a mark was left on her skin leaving the evidence of their lovemaking. 

"Ohh… Cedric," she moaned. That triggered him further. He banged her back to the wall with a grunt and started nibbling her skin like a hungry beast. 

"Fuck!" they heard a curse from the side, which brought them back into reality. 

They both turned their heads only to see Raymund standing there with his widened eyes. 

"Scram!" Cedric yelled, hugging Eleanor tighter making sure she was covered properly by him. 

Raymund ran inside taking that as a cue. 

Raymund was waiting for Cedric and Eleanor's return. But no matter how long he waited they didn't come. So… he came to check on them personally but was greeted with the sight of their lovemaking. He blushed when he heard Eleanor's moan. He cursed involuntarily making their actions stop. 

"He always ruins the moments," Eleanor said with a sigh. 

"We can still continue," Cedric offered. 

"Nope, not now. But tonight," she said as she placed her forefinger on his cold lips. 

Cedric bit her finger, making her moan. 

"I want you too but i want you in a place where there is no one and where a place would be ours completely," she said. 

"I can arrange it," he said. 

"Do it for tonight," she said as she hugged him. His chin touched the swell of her bosoms which spilled out of her bra. 

"I will," he said as he bent his head down and bit the entrance of her breasts. 

"C-Cedric… please not now," she said as she tried to hold her moans. 

"Fine," he said frustratedly. 

"We have a lifetime to do this," she said, pecking his lips for a quick second. 

"Sure?" he asked. 

"Cedric, it's hard to find a true soulmate… I am lucky to find my true soulmate at the right time," she said. With that their lips met again. This time… it's full of love. It's like they were promising each other about their future self. 

Breaking the kiss, Eleanor rested her forehead on his. 

"I love you, Idiot," these words left her mouth.
