Like a Greek Tragedy
Part 12 by Mallory Quinn
Candy woke up suddenly, heartbroken, it was only a dream!!!! Oh… it seemed so real! It was a dream, because Terry doesn't live in her building!!! She had seen his apartment when she came 4 years ago…it wasn't in the Dakota. She had to wake up to go to Columbia. The dream she had was very fresh in her mind. She could taste Terry's lips and his tongue looking for hers…she felt a shiver and she blushed.
"Oh my God! That dream is making me sin!!! He's engaged to another woman, there's no way I can think of him in that way!! But the dream seem so real!!!!"
She made breakfast fast and she was out the door, on her way to Columbia, hoping not to think too much about the dream.
When was Albert coming to see Alistair? With the evening train. She was eager to see him and her friends.
Terry was kissing the woman he loved. He didn't want to let go of her. He regretted not to have kiss her 4 years ago, now he was going to take advantage to the fullest. It was so good. He was caressing her….
Terry was awaken by Susanna's scream. He ran to her room to what was going on. He found her sobbing.
- Susanna? He asked, what's wrong?
She looked up and she saw Terry, her Terry, the man she loved and she was going to marry! He came and sat on her bedside, and she jumped to his neck.
- Oh Terry! Hold me! Hold me hard!!!! She said
- Alright… said Terry a little worried…
Susanna was shaking terribly. Whatever it was, it had shaken her up a lot. She kept sobbing and sobbing. Terry called the doctor, because, Susanna was incapable of telling him what was wrong.
The doctor stayed with Susanna, while Terry was waiting in the living room. The doctor finally came out of the room. Terry stood up to meet him
- So doctor, what's wrong with her? Is she in any pain?
- No, she's just very emotional, because of the wedding. I gave her mild sedative. It should calm her down, she's going to be fine. And she told me to tell you not to call her mother…
- Ok, said Terry, thank you doctor.
- You're very welcome Mr. Grandchester, have a nice day
- You too, doctor
The doctor left and Terry went to see Susanna. She was asleep, but he could still see the traces of her tears on her cheeks. She had interrupted one of the most beautiful dreams he had had in a long time….
Candy was with Michael, Flammy and Alistair. Michael had decided to tell Alistair the truth before his whole family comes and overwhelms him.
- It's time, said Michael, we have to tell him to prepare him
- All right, said Candy, you're the boss…, Flammy you wan to help me tell him?
- Sure, said Flammy…
The two nurses went to talk to Alistair, about who he was and who was going to come and see him.
- My family? He said surprised, you know my family?
- Yes, said Candy, and I'm part of your family…
- You?
- Yes, I'm your cousin…
- My cousin? You're not making this up? Asked Stear
- No, said Candy, you come from a very rich and influential family in Chicago…
- Chicago?
- Your name is Alistair Cornwell…
- Alistair Cornwell? I don't feel like an "Alistair"…
- You're memory will come back you'll see
- But my face is scared…
- We don't care about that, we're just so happy to see you alive!
- Really?
- Yes… and now can I ask you something?
- Sure…
- Well since I found you and I knew you had amnesia, I didn't want to shock you by my enthusiasms…
- Ok…
- Can I hug you now? Said Candy, I've been dying to do it ever since Flammy brought you…
- Ok, said Stear smiling…
Candy jumped to his neck! She was so happy to finally hug him. She had missed him so much.
- Oh Alistair, welcome back from the dead!!! Don't ever do this to us again!!! She said
- Alright, I'm going to try…apparently, rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated…
They all burst out laughing.
