Part 37
It was starting to get cold sitting on top of the hill and despite the fact that Davina still had Tom's strong, loving arms around her; the cold was still getting to her causing her to involuntary shiver. I love the fact that it is just the two of us but it is really cold up here now.
Tom noticed the extreme shivering of his fiancée; I think I had better get her back home, I just hope that they have had enough time to set it all up as I'm surprised…and worried that I haven't received a text yet.
"Shall we go, because it's freezing up here" Tom suggested as he removed his arms from around Davina's waist and the pair of them got to their feet. Tom packed everything away in the picnic basket and then carried it with his left hand enabling him to hold his right hand out for Davina to take. I don't think that I had better complain on the way down as I guess that I was rather annoying on the way up the hill.
Therefore Davina was happy to walk through the mud as she was looking forward to the future as she was marrying a man who she loved like no other and he felt the exact same way about her. I don't think I could wish for much more.
Eddie looked at the clock and noticed that there was only 3 minutes until the end of the school day as had been a regular occurrence throughout the time that Rachel had been sleeping Eddie's eyes flickered towards her; pleased that she was sleeping as it was giving her body some hard earned rest. I just wish that I had noticed it as I would have been able to help her before it got this bad. I can't help but blame myself as if anything had happened to her I would never be able to forgive myself, I'm suppose to love her but I didn't notice that she was struggling.
Just looking above Rachel's head he gazed out the window and saw a familiar car pull into the car park; this must be for the meeting that he is suppose to have with Rachel, but what can we do if she isn't awake, because I'm not waking her up therefore he will have to come back another day. I know it won't please him but Rachel is too special to have her health at risk.
However Eddie didn't need to worry as the bell sounded which caused Rachel to stir on the sofa, she really is beautiful I just wish that I was able to call her mine. The pupils who had rushed out of the school looked at Ralph Mellor and viewed him with distain with a large majority of the school tutting and shaking their heads at him. Paul looked at Bolton, "is that the person who was trying to get Miss Mason to leave earlier this school year?" he asked as he wanted confirmation until he acted on his hatred for the man in front of the two boys.
"Yeh, I think so, let's tell him what we think of him" Bolton replied as they were both perfectly aware that he had come to the school in response to the shooting of Maxine before the school holidays. If he thinks that he is getting rid of Mason, he will have to get through Paul and me first. As I don't want Mason to go because of all the help and support that she has given me, let's call it, me returning the favour.
The pair of them had reached the car and Davina was waiting for Tom to get back into the car after placing the picnic basket in the boot. While Davina was waiting for him, she reflected upon recent events partly because she still couldn't believe how lucky she was to be marrying Tom. I know that now I have him, I'm never going to let him go.
She was broken from her thoughts by the sound of the boot slamming and the driver door opening shortly after. Tom sat in the driver's seat rubbing his hands together trying to regain some of the warmth that had been lost ever since he had released Davina's hand to enable him to place the picnic basket in the boot. I wish they would hurry up and text me because I don't know how much longer I'm able to delay going home as at the moment Davina isn't suspicious but she soon will be.
Davina saw Tom rubbing his hands together trying to generate some heat; and judging by the blue colour of them, they would require quite a bit of warming up. I wonder if I would be able to help him.
Rachel was soon aware of the time and started to panic due to the way that she knew what the meeting was about and as she had fallen asleep she had taken time to prepare for the meeting. I know I wanted to leave before but now I want to stay as I believe that I can make a difference to the people that come here and that's what teaching is all about isn't it?
Davina leaned towards Tom and captured his lips with her own as the pair of them deepened the kiss, there was an urge from both of them to get home as it would have given them more room than the car was currently providing. Davina was running her hand through Tom's hair when Tom's phone vibrated in his pocket. Davina pulled away as it enabled him to read the message that had just been sent to him and she jokingly asked, "Who is it, the other woman?" Tom smiled back at her and despite knowing that it was asked as a joke Tom replied, "Why would I want another woman when I have the woman of my dreams in front of me". The pair of them smiled at one another and leant towards one another resulting in another kiss. This time it was Tom who backed away, "come on, let's go home" Tom said as he started the engine and reversed the car from the parking space.
