Love beyond the whiteboard- Chapter 4
What if...
Nancy POV It was the worst morning for the 'perfect' honeymoon. I hoped the cold sweet air would've soothed my feverish skin but all it did was make matters worse. It chilled me. Eliciting, deep, jarring shivers that shot down my spine as if a bullet had been fired. A cough constantly constricted my chest, a hot buring sensation. My cold, dead, callused hands started to tremble. I could feel my cheeks turning to a crimson as they felt ice cold. Iheaved my suitcase down the stairs as i dragged my makeup case. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and lifted my case steadily into the boot of the car. A little help would be nice i thought to myself as i lifted my bags. 'Oi Nancy your going through with it?'Robbie shouted running up to me. 'After everything that happened between us your playing happy families with Darren?' I jumped startled knocking my case onto the floor my clothes flying all over the pavement. I felt an anger rush through me, my blood boiling as i spun around frowning.
'You really have to ruin everything don't you! Look what you've made me do!' I growled and got on my knees chucking my things back in my case. I could feel tears glowing in my ears ready to spill onto my cheeks. I felt them streaming down my cheeks as i quickly wiped them. I looked up at Robbie as he knelt down helping me put my things away. I felt his soft delicate warm hand brush past mine as he looked into my eyes.
'I'm sorry Nance i wasn't thinking straight, i just can't see you go,' he muttered. I stared as his eyes widened, his lips puckered. He took my hand and squeezed it tightly.
'Why can't you stay with me, why do you have to leave,' he asked.
'Because.. because i love him, alright?' I quickly stammered as i heaved my case into the boot.
'What about me? Don't you love me?' he murmeded under his breath.
'Don't be stupid! I'm married, to your brother!' i snapped rolling my eyes.
'So yesterday meant nothing? How do you think i felt being locked in a closet for 2 and a half hours just so i could hide your dirty little secret, i went along with it all and still it means nothing? Why hide me away if your not ashamed,' he pointed out smarmily.
I could feel the freezing cold sear through my body, my vision started to ebbed and swam, my legs threatening to give away.
He took my hand as the cold attracted to his.
'Your ice cold! You look ill Nancy! No way can you go!' He placed his jacket around me to warm me up. 'I don't want your stupid jacket Robbie! I want nothing off you other than to leave me alone!' I shouted slamming the boot shut.
'Nancy wait, let me help you,' he offered grabbing my arm.
'Get off me! Just don't come near me again!,' I shouted. Without thinking, i slapped him harsly round the face leaving a dark red mark. Within a spilt second i realised what i had done and gasped in shock.
Uncharacteristic tears welled in my tired eyes. 'Robbie i am so sorry! I wasn't thinking straight,' i stammered quietly.
'It's.. it's ok i guess, look Nancy I'm sorry for ever talking to you,' he whispered. 'I love you.'
He pressed his forehead against mine as we both exchanged our tears that fell down our cheeks.
'Robbie I have to go now,' i said quietly as i broke away from him opening the taxi door.
'Don't leave me,' he whispered. 'What if you love me too? What if the honeymoon turns out to be a disaster?'
I got in car staring at him. 'I really have to go.'
I slammed the door as the taxi drove away. I stared wonderously out the window to see robbie waving. I slightly waved back wiping my tears.
What if? What if i don't love darren? What if it turns out to be a mistake? What if i love robbie? What if...
