Slowly I opened my eyes and found that I was at home in my room at the vineyard. My gray robe hung over my chair at the desk. Someone had drawn the curtains of my window, which lay out the vineyard barn. I sat up in bed. I had been lying on my stomach and felt my neck was a little stiff. My blonde hair hung down over my face. When I moved away, I saw that Derek was lying next to me.
My heart did flips. I lay back down next to him and pulled my finger over his chest. I looked up at his face and I could see how he smiled. His one shoulder was bandaged after Ron shot him. He opened his eyes and I smiled to see his brown eyes made me laugh. I sat up on him and leaned forward and pressed my lips against his.
He responded to the kiss and put his arms around me and pulled me harder on him.
- "Good morning," I said, with a smile.
- "Good morning!" He answered me. I sat up and looked at him. It felt like a dream to see him again. We had not seen for several weeks, and now he was lying in my bed, next to me.
- "How is your shoulder?" I wondered. He twisted a little on the shaft to see if it hurt. I could see how his face drew together.
- "It is almost complete!" He lied. I saw a twinkle in his eye when he said it. I laughed.
- "Liar!" I smiled. He sat up, grabbed me and swung me around so I ended up on my back under him. He leaned forward and his lips touched my carefully.
- "How are you?" He asked. I felt through my body, but I had no pain at all.
- "I feel good. I feel refreshed!" I answered him. He lay down beside me, with his face turned towards me. He looked so serious. - "Chiara's fine., She have begun to recover and the fever have gone down."
- "How did you know I was going to ask about her?" I wondered a bit surprised.
- "You two are best friends. It is normal to worry about each other." He smiled and lay on his back. I followed and were safely next to him and kept pulling my finger out of his chest. I smiled when I did it because I wanted to see if he was ticklish. The effect was equal to zero, I heard no giggling or saw the typical rhythm, which people usually get when you tickle them.
- "Good to know that she's fine. She have good healer with him!" I replied and then turned my face up toward his. He lay with his face turned towards me. - "What?" I wondered, his serious expression did not seem to go away.
- "You have not answered my question yet!" He said finally.
- "What question?" I wondered and sat up. He sat up after me and took my hands.
- "Think properly now., I asked a question before the other day., It was just before we where interrupted." He continued.
I thought for a while and really tried to figure out what the question he asked me. The only thing I remember was how we were fighting for our lives. Blood came from Chiara, which I tried in vain to block from leaving her body. - "I asked a question before Chiara where badly injured!" He said again. I had been quiet many minutes. Then I remembered it. It was at that moment that he and I alone escaped from the platform and I was trying to drag us down to the ground floor.
My cheeks flare up and I put my hands on my cheeks. In an attempt to hide it. I looked then up at Derek, who put a blond lock behind my ear.
- "Do you remember?" I nodded and lost the ability to speak.
- "Yes, I do not know what to say?" I stuttered nervously forward. Derek took my hand in his, and with the other hand he caressed my cheek. He looked sad and tried to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he closed it again and looked down at the bed.
- "I may not have so much to offer you, but,"
- "But you're wrong!" I said out loud, and my voice was confident. Derek was surprised at how powerful my voice became.
- "You have a lot to offer me., You do not see it. You offer a life with you. You offer me real love, that you fought for, and you've got me to trust you, right from the first moment." He opened his mouth to stop me, but I silenced him. - "Derek, you offer me love and trust. No money in the world can buy that for me." I smiled and held his hands in mine. We were still sitting on my bed without even bother to get dressed.
- "My answer has long since been, Yes, I just have not had it in my mind since we were fighting for our lives on the platform!" Derek's face lit up and he threw his arms around me and pressed his lips against mine. I responded to the kiss.
- "So that's a yes?" He asked cheerfully.
- "Yes!" I smiled and laughed. Tears ran over and down my face. Derek leaned forward and his lips massaged mine. I put my arms around him and he pulled me down on the bed.
Later that week:
Chiara was sitting in the kitchen with Elisabeth and drank one of Elisabeth's herbal teas. I sat across from her and Elisabeth beside her. None of us said anything. I had just told them that Derek had proposed.
- "I knew you'd say yes!" Began Chiara. Her face was worn, but she kept the good manners not to have to lie down and rest.
- "How long?" I wondered.
- "Then I heard him ask the question on the platform. It was shortly before Ron stabbed me." She put her hand over her stomach. Elisabeth looked down on the movement and looked worried. - "I feel good!" She muttered to her. Elisabetht looked at me. Although she was worried about Chiara's health, she smiled at me.
- "I think it's wonderful! Clearly you're getting married!" She said with a smile and nervously drank from the cup of hot tea. Chiara snorted!
- "You've never liked Derek since he last betrayed Emma!"
- "But that was long ago., He has matured since then!" Elisabeth defended herself against Chiara. Chiara pushed her herb tea and stood up.
- "Sorry if I'm a bit stubborn, but I'm going to bed. You! Do not help me!" She growled at Elizabeth, who had stood up for her. She sat down again and we looked after Chiara, who started to walk up the stairs to her room.
- "What's with her?" I wondered. Elisabeth sighed.
- "She is disappointed at Avalon." She finally said, looking up at me.
- "Avalon? Why?" I wondered in surprise. - "I thought you two were together!" Elisabeth gulped down the hot tea into the throat and coughed.
- "No, no, no no, I and Avalon are good friends and nothing more, I have never had such feelings for him or anyone!" Defended herself. I smiled.
- "Ah, love trouble for Chiara! Avalon will never visit?"
- "He does, but he always comes at night when Chiara sleeping. Usually after he met Fripp. He's been with him much just this past few days., I do not know what he's doing." She mumbled and took a napkin and wiped away the tea, she spilled on the table.
- "Have Avalon feelings for Chiara?" I wondered. That Fripp did not interest me one bit. If so, why avoided Avalon to visit Chiara during the day?
Elisabeth shrugged. She had no idea herself. Avalon never told these things to her.
- "What is he doing with Fripp?" We did not get anywhere with our conversation, I might as well ask who was Fripp. Again she shrugged her shoulders.
- "Avalon is a very enigmatic person, but what he does with Fripp?, I do not know!"
- "Hm, yeah!" I whispered anxiously. Could not come up with sensible answers than to shrug.
- "When were you going to have the wedding then?" Wondered Elisabeth who ruled off topic. This time it was my turn to shrug.
- "I do not know if I'll be honest., I have not had so many ideas about how I want the wedding. Autumn is almost here, maybe a fine autumn wedding would be nice, but even winter can be lovely. Though I do not like the cold . "I said and drank some of my herb tea. It tasted like drinking pine needles, but I drank it anyways, to show respect.
My heart did flips. I lay back down next to him and pulled my finger over his chest. I looked up at his face and I could see how he smiled. His one shoulder was bandaged after Ron shot him. He opened his eyes and I smiled to see his brown eyes made me laugh. I sat up on him and leaned forward and pressed my lips against his.
