Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands-Chapter 97
97 Say It In a Love Song
“Are you here to deliver something?” I asked after opening the door a crack.
“Yes. This package is for you, and it would be great if you could sign here,” the man said as he shoved a small package the size of my smartphone in my hand before pointing to where I had to sign.
I took the pen from him and signed the papers. He thanked me in a hurry before heading off to his next destination. I watched him go until he disappeared from sight with a confused look on my face. My hand held the small package that had just been delivered and I stared down at it in wonder. The package was small and light and for the life of me, I couldn’t guess what was inside. Honestly, I didn’t order anything online.
After closing the door and locking it, I sat down on the floor at my little table before starting to open the package. There’s only one way to find out what is inside and that was to simply open it. The package was so properly sealed that I had a hand time opening it with my hands and fingers. I reached over for a scissor and that did the trick.
There was a silver metal case inside the package and nothing else. Curious to find out more, I opened the metal case immediately. My eye blinked rapidly for a moment in a mix of surprise and confusion. There were only two things inside the metal case. One was a USB drive, and the other was a small handwritten note. I held the standard looking USB drive in my hand as I wondered why this thing was sent to me.
My attention shifted to the small handwritten note. I don’t recognize this handwriting at all. Well, it wasn’t like I memorized people’s handwriting. I didn’t even remember George’s handwriting and perhaps the only handwriting that I could remember was Brandon’s. Although, I wasn’t sure if his handwriting has changed over the years or not.
The message on the handwritten note was short and simple:
‘Is this good enough for you, “My Naomi”?’
That was it. The note was left unsigned.
.....
Naomi...
Is it that Naomi?!
It can’t be...
I got up from where I was seated and quickly grabbed my laptop. Placing it down in front of me on the small coffee table, I turned the laptop on and quickly inserted the USB drive. My fingers tapped against the table impatiently as I waited for the content on the drive to load. What is on the drive?
There was only one file on the drive and from the looks of it, it was an audio file.
This isn’t what I think it is, is it?
A strange feeling that I couldn’t quite place filled my stomach as my hovered the mouse over the icon of the file. I hesitated to open it. Precisely because I knew what the file was, I was even more hesitant to open it.
I closed my eyes tightly as my palm got sweaty form my nervousness. Here goes nothing...
After opening my eyes, I double clicked on the file to open it before I would change my mind.
The sound of sweet yet sorrowful music filled my small apartment. A rich melody of a piano filled the room as the track continued to play. The music felt so fresh and clean. Simple without any complications yet it felt very honest. After the introduction, the sound of EROS’s voice started singing. It’s EROS’s voice without a doubt so this must be ERO’s new song.
Why did he send this to me?
I closed my eyes as I listened to his new song, the sorrowful melody of the piano and his beautiful voice as he sang the song’s lyrics. It was such a beautiful yet extremely sad song. The song had all elements of a sorrowful love. Misunderstandings, the inability to communicate your thoughts and feelings to the one that you love, hurting each other in ways that couldn’t be reversed or taken back. The chorus was the sweetest apology that I have ever heard in my life. It was honest with a smart play on words. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
I didn’t know how to describe the feelings that I felt when the song ended. The song touched me in a way that I couldn’t quite understand and the proof of that was the wet and warm tears flowing from my eyes. I brushed my tears away from my cheeks with the pad of my fingers before I sniffed a little.
Up until the moment that the song ended, I never knew that a love song could sound so beautiful while also sounding so hurt and broken. I also never knew that an apology could take on such a beautiful and inspirational form like this.
‘I said it all in that song. If she’s too dumb to understand it, then that’s her problem,’
His words came back to me, and my eyes widened in sudden realization.
Is this what EROS wanted to tell me?
More tears welled up in my eyes until my vision was all blurry and I couldn’t see the screen of my laptop clearly anymore. I shook my head before reaching my fingers up to wipe the oncoming tears away from my eyes. In that moment, many things were not clear to me, but I was certain about one thing: I didn’t want to be a dumb girl.
I think EROS said something about finding out if this song was good enough in his press conference. If I remembered correct, he said something along the lines of...
‘I’ll find out soon if the song is good enough or not...if the song doesn’t quite cut it then, I’ll completely scrap it and I’ll consider cancelling the plans for releasing this single entirely...’
He’ll find out soon...
Don’t tell me. I glanced over at the small handwritten note as I started to understand why he sent me the file of his newest single.
‘Is this good enough for you, “My Naomi”?’
My eyes read that short question on the small white piece of paper over and over again.
