Twenty minutes later, the ambulance was here to fetch him. Sophie declared to come with him and Claire asked to be informed about everything. She said that she would come when the guests had left and was disposed to come. The ride took indeed an hour and during that time, Sophie was talking to Charlie all the way although kissing was the favourite activity. At the hospital, Charlie was taken to the experts of bone. Sophie was left to sit in the waiting hall. After one hour or two, a doctor came out to speak with Sophie. The doctor was a long man with long black hair and small eyes.
" Your boyfriend is mine. Luckily nothing is broken, apparently with the help of angels, but he need rest and must stay here some days. I hope it is no problem?
"No I thank you. I expected the very worst and now you say that everything is fine. Thank you". Sophie jumped into the arms of the doctor and gave him a happy hug.
"Well thank you lady. You may go to him. He waits for you" said the doctor with a laugh.
Sophie went in into the room and looked into the room. The walls were painted in a smooth yellow and gave a comfortable impression. It was better though, she thought, because her love one was laying on the big bed that was there, half naked and with this white bandage for the back. She smiled and sighed with relief as she approached the bed.
"Finally! I was starting to think you never come." said Charlie with a tired voice.
" The hours have been like days. The doctor said that you need to stay a few days and then you can leave." Assured Sophie
"Sophie, I am going to love you till the day I die and beyond. I love you so much but we need to call Nana to inform her that I am alive and in love." He smiled and laughed happily.
" I love you too. Let's do it right away. She took her cell phone and sat on the edge of the bed. While she waiting to get through, Charlie was gently caressing her back. He was in love with this woman. He couldn't get enough of her hair, this soft skin and the curve of her shoulders. He reminded himself that he was could to kiss this shoulders soon. He smiled at the idea. He was going to show her that English could be as passionate as Italians. How could know that disdain could turn into love. He realised now he had liked her from the beginning. It was just the fact that this beautiful, American woman could hurt his grandmother. And the liking had beginning to grow. He wanted to take her into bed that night when she coldly bade him "good night". He had to control and to remind himself that she was engaged to another man. And finally, she was his forever. Sophie brought him back to reality with her gentle voice.
"Claire is going to come over later. She and Lorenzo are bringing flowers and wine. She the flowers, he the wine of course.
" I don't want any wine or flowers, I just have some decent "tunning tea around here." Muttered he angrily
"Honey, when you go to London, you can make your provisions with tea. But I'm pretty sure that we had that sort of tea in the US also."
"Well about that, can't you join me when I can go back to London? You can see where I live and we can do some sightseeing before I move to the Americas."
"Me? To London? Oh Charlie, I love to!"Sophie leaned and hugged the lying Charlie. He let out a scream of pain, which caused Sophie to lean back and fell guilty. He excused himself by taking her face with his hands and approaching her face for a kiss. He then moved to her forehead, her nose, her cheeks, her ear and moving down to her throat where the soft skin felt like cherry. Sophie sighed and put a hand on the naked chest. The couple were interrupted by the sound of Claire's voice.
