As the weeks passed, Vern started getting more and more impatient. He couldn't understand it, he knew very well what happened the night of the ball. What he didn't know was that his daughter was kissing VonTrapp in the linen closet a few weeks prior. He decided on a plan that was even a little too wicked for him, but he was speculating whether to tell Robert just yet.
He decided that he would try and talk to Maria again.
There was a hardy knock on Maria's bedroom door and before she could have said anything Vern walked in.
"Good evening Maria, I trust everything is in order."
Not quite knowing what he meant, Maria simply said "Yes father."
"Maria I am deeply sorry for having to say this but I'm very disappointed in you."
Knowing exactly what he was talking about Maria jumped up and said what she needed to." Father I don't care that your disappointed, and you know why? Because I love Georg VonTrapp, and neither you or anyone else can make me change my mind." Maria took a long breath and waited for her fathers reply.
"You, young lady will not raise your voice at me like that ever again! I am your father, you shall do as I say as long as your under my roof."
"Fine." Was all Maria said as she hurried past him, running down the stairs, through the front door and into the rain. "What are you doing?" Vern shouted down the stairs, with a loud gruff voice.
"I'm not under your roof anymore." Maria nearly tripped as she ran, she'd never ran so fast in her whole life, all she could think of was getting to the VonTrapp manor.
Vern was upset and of course blamed it on Georg. Vern called Robert and told him where he thought Maria was going and that he wanted information.
Georg was enjoying a meal when he heard a frantic knock on the door. He was about to get up when he heard Franz's footsteps.
As soon as the door opened, Maria flew past Franz and into the dining room. When Georg saw her state he immediately got up and went to her.
"Maria what happened? Did someone hurt you? Was it Robert?" He got boiling mad at the thought.
"Oh it was awful, my father and I had a big argument, all I could think about was getting to you." Was Maria's sobbing reply.
"And here you are, soaking wet with tears and rain. Come my love, let's get you warmed up, you can stay for as long as you like."
Georg called Frau Gerta to go get Maria's room ready, in the meantime Georg watched as Maria drank some tea and ate his strudel that he had left on the table.
After a while Maria excused herself to go shower. She turned on the water and slowly stepped in. Little did she know that Robert was standing outside the window enjoying the view, that was until he heard Maria scream, fearing she saw him he got down.
Maria screamed as she came across the biggest spider she had ever seen, when the spider jumped so did Maria making her scream even louder.
Georg was down stairs when he heard her scream, scared that someone might be in the house he ran to her rescue, bursting through the bathroom door.
Maria tried to cover herself but it was no use Georg was standing there looking at her in complete shock. He quickly ran out and got her towel, as he went back and handed her the towel, he saw the spider and he started laughing.
Maria felt even more sad, why was he laughing at her?
"Maria I promise you the poor spider had more of a...Why are you crying?" Asked Georg in concern.
"Am I really that unpleasant to see that your almost crying with laughter?"
Georg rushed to her side holding her, much to her discomfort.
"My love, I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at the situation."
"You were? I thought you were disappointed in what you saw." He lightly kissed her neck and then whispered in her ear, "Oh Maria how wrong you are, your body is beautiful, beautiful to touch...to taste."
Maria got chills all over.
Georg giggled as they shared a kiss, they walked out the bathroom and Georg left her to get dressed.
But what Robert saw would make a completely different story.
Robert rushed into Vern's office soaking wet.
"You won't believe what happened... Maria was having a shower when Georg came into the bathroom, kissed her neck and then they walked out together, I'll let you finish the rest." Robert said out of breath from his rambling.
Vern slammed his face hard onto his desk. He had enough of this.
"Tomorrow I will inform Vontrapp about a 'harmless' training trip that he needs to go on, but what he doesn't know is that he won't be returning and I'll make sure of that."
