Elle's secret boyfriend .

the decision

Allan gazed at me with concern washing over his fine features. " are you alright ?"he asked .
"absolutely"I said trying to get up but to fail pathetically, shit I didn't eat anything for past two days. I caught on him for support.
"That looks like someone who is absolutely strong"he remarked.
I gave him a weak grin, he peered into my eyes earnestly "Come with me".
"not yet"I said realising for the first time my parents are watching me.
I shrugged away. The surroundings seems to disappear when I am around Allan.
"I don't want anyone to hit my girl again, did I make it clear?"he said the second sentence stern.
He was infuriated, I can sense it. I pressed his hand "Allan, look at me I am absolutely okay, they are my mom and dad they obviously have the right to hit me. The did it out of concern, out of love. "I said.
"if you believe so, then I will take the leave. But the next time I don't think I would be this patient".
He kissed on my forehead and stormed out of my house.
Mom sat next to me feeding me cereal. I looked at her smiling,"mommy, I am sorry"I said. "forgive me please" I said hugging her. "I was so mad at you that you refused to believe me".
Mom straightened the hem of her dress, tears silently raced down her cheeks " I was too bash too, I must have listened to you, you know what Elle. I don't want to do a mistake in your life".
"mom, Allan cares for me. This is the best deal of life I could ever get. Mom look at me,"I said taking my moms worry stricken face in my hands" this is the best life a girl like me, who has nothing to offer can ever get.A good education care and a loving husband ".

Mom asked"what if he gets obsessed with you? "

"let us hope not" I said.

"What if he turns out to be a bad person? "mom asked.

"I believe not" I said. "Allan is our only hope mom, I don't think we have an other option. Above all I love him"

"I noticed that he do care for you, but what if it is all an act"mom said.
"mom, if Allan Hawthorne wants a million girls will line up in front of him. He is just trying to make our lives better". I assured.
