I want to be with you tonight

The days moved quickly but for Gerard, it was the slowest few days he had to wait for. He had been waiting for the day when Ayla would be ready to consummate their marriage and now that she finally told him soon, he couldn't wait any longer.

It was a Friday and as soon as Ayla got home from school, she dashed to the kitchen where Grace was. "Good day ma'am," she greeted and grace answered her with a smile.

Since Gerard had lost his parents, she figured that she could relate to Grace as though she was Gerard's mom.

"You came home quite early today, what's the occasion?" she asked Ayla casually and Ayla responded with a smile.

"The exams are starting soon and I'd like to focus more. It's a shame that I was unable to go for the scholarship exams but I'm sure I'll do great in these exams, I just know it," she spoke with determination in her tone.
