So if you read my story The Ghost and Teresa you would know I have a thing for angst , fantasy and possibilities .. this won't be long just two or three more chapters .
He hadn't expected to be back in Austin this soon , he would have preferred not to actually it hadn't been a year since he came back for a follow up on an operation .
If it hadn't been for his old friend Tom who was getting married and invited him to the big wedding , his flight was delayed do he hadn't had the few hours of rest he had expected and barely had the time to have a shower and change his clothes at the hotel .
The place was huge .. he heard the bride's family were quite rich that he was sure they were the one that insisted on the big wedding because no way an agent like his friend would be able to afford such a huge wedding .
He went inside the huge garden and it was a beautiful afternoon , he saw his friend and after greetings he started wondering catching up with old friends and colleagues from the Austin department .. until his eyes landed on her .
She had her back to him but he still recognized her small figure in that short Basil colored short dress and chocolate hair .. he still dreamt of it's cinnamon smell actually .. it had been months but if he was honest she was never out of his system .. he hadn't known if she would be invited but deep inside he hoped she would be .. maybe he could talk to her .. maybe she would be missing him .. maybe unhappy and regretful for leaving him .
Not that he had been living in celibacy all those months ago , he had certainly had a few women since he arrived to DC but none of them still filled the void she left .. she was special beautiful and strong .. a combination that he hadn't found since they broke up .
He almost chuckled .. more accurately when she dumped him for the charlatan called Patrick Jane .
Speak of the devil .. he saw the man walk towards her from behind and wrap his arms around her from the back and he heard her squeal in surprise .. god . he had missed her voice so much .
That was when she turned around and he couldn't believe what he was seeing , she was different .. she had her stomach about two feet in front of her ..she was heavily pregnant .
He felt like the air was knocked out of his lungs , he hadn't heard about it .. the last he had heard was their marriage .
He looked back to them and Jane was whispering something in her ears and she was gigging and blushing like a school girl their arms still wrapped around each other .
He needed to go , he pushed his way through the people to the free bar ..he was grateful to be in a fancy wedding for once .
He gulped the first three shots quickly .. then stated to relax a bit but were still as miserable a while later he was drunk ..he hadn't been counting how much did he have actually and wouldn't have left the bar if the need to go to the restroom hadn't got to him .
He was relieved after and washed his face .. tried not to look so drunk though he was and just when he stepped out of the restroom that he saw her just in front of him .. obviously on her way to the ladies restroom which was just next to the men's .
She gasped at the sight of him and froze , he was mimicking her position but after a moment she smiled ' Hi , Marcus '.
He smiled ' hey ' he leant on the wall felt unsteady from the liquor ..he didn't want to pass out in front of her .
' you look gorgeous ' he said eyeing her body and she blushed under his appreciative little lustful gaze .
'Thank you ' she said cheeks burning looking around as if looking for some body .. probably Jane to save her .
' How far ?' he asked pointing to her belly and she smiled ' seven months ' .
He sniffed his eyes getting a little glassy ' Teresa …' he started and she looked alarmed ' I am sorry .. need to use the restroom or my small bladder is going to explode '.
She ran past him and rushed to the restroom while he stood there feeling even more crabby , he shook his head and walked out of the whole wedding .
Outside the place was calm and the night breeze smelt good sobering him a little .
He felt angry , how dare she leave him like that and for Who ? the man that gave her hell for years that treated her like null if the stories he heard were true .. and how dare they look so damn happy together ..married and have a baby .
He could feel blood boiling inside his head .. he had never been treated like that by a woman and the truth was that he never got what he wanted from Teresa Lisbon .. he wanted her to be his for life ..he wanted her to look like him the way she looked at Jane .. that child inside her should have been his not Jane's .. if only the bastard hadn't stopped her from leaving probably feeding her more lies and crab to get her to stay .
' You're so right ' he heard a voice say and turned around to find a tall man in his early fifties dressed all in black with white short hair and cold blue eyes .
' What the hell .. who are you ?' asked Pike his mind still fuzzy from the drink .
' It doesn't really matter .. the important thing is that I completely agree with you .. you deserved much better 'said the man calmly and pike frowned .. he didn't really understand .
' How do you know …' started Pike and the man rolled his eyes ' I know a lot of things believe me .. he did take her away from you ..the life you could have had .. the happiness '.
Pike nodded in melancholy ' yeah .. it would have been perfect '.
' Don't you wish he just vanished .. that she went with you ..' said the man and Pike interrupted ' yeah .. but how do you know any of this ? .. know what .. you're right if he hadn't stopped that plane she would have been with me now .. god , I wish he hadn't stopped that plane ' said Marcus wistfully .
' You got it ' said the man and Pike frowned looking up but the man wasn't there .. he looked around actually there was no body there ' I need to sleep '.
He walked to the hotel and felt exhausted ..all he wanted was to sleep and forget all about Lisbon .. weddings and Jane .. Patrick Jane .
He opened his eyes and the sun rays hurt his cornea so he closed them again .. the headache of hangover too much for him .. after all he wasn't a college student anymore .
He opened his eyes again and startled .. it wasn't his hotel room .. actually he was in his room in his fancy duplex in DC .. how did he get there .. was the whole past week a nightmare .. was there never any wedding ? so he never flew to Austin .
If it was then it was the most realistic dream he had ever had .
But a sound caught his ears .. and he noticed the bathroom door was closed .. was some one in his shower ? damn had he got drunk and picked up some woman the day before .. he felt embarrassed .. not that he never did this before but he at least could remember their name in the morning .
The door opened and a woman in her bathrobe came out holding the towel drying her hair and his heart stopped as he saw her face .. She stopped in her tracks and gave him a cold look ' What are you staring at ?' she growled at him and he gasped ' Teresa '.
She snorted ' expecting some one else ? ' , she threw the towel at him ' your turn '.. she said then walked out of the room leaving him in bed mouth open .
Sorry for any mistakes .. reviews appreciated .
