Hi guys! Welcome back, so I felt the sudden urge to write something-Hamilton. And it came to me to write something Aaron Burr centric since honestly, he's my favorite character, and even better, Wait For It is one of my favorite songs too. Enjoy.
Aaron Burr watched Alexander catch up to Hercules, John and Lafayette with an unreadable expression.
His question echoed in his mind.
If you love this girl, go get her. What are you waiting for?
Aaron gave a silent chuckle. He just explained it to Hamilton, the man whose brain is supposedly "topnotch" and yet, he didn't get it.
It was like he didn't hear him at all.
Theodosia…
The name he thought about everyday, all thanks to her letters.
From trivialities to illnesses, gossip, his own law studies, her children's educations and even the rights of women.
They did not leave a thing undiscussed.
Thinking about her children now, he remembered why they are in this predicament in the first place.
Her current husband, a British officer going by the name of Jacques-Marc Prévost is away in Georgia.
Theodosia already had five children with him, these children who were separated from their mother.
If Aaron would've been more honest with Hamilton earlier, he probably would've said that he was waiting for his chance to turn the unlawful relationship into a genuine courtship.
The problem was that the chance can only come under one condition.
With him being away, divorce was out of the question.
Aaron can only wait until her husband's time was up.
Maybe that would sound cruel when you put it like that, but he was pretty domineering when it came to his love for her.
She was his.
Mr. Prévost can stay in Georgia. Heck, he can control its entirety.
Aaron wouldn't care.
He sighed as these thoughts came to a halt.
Love is powerful. It can drives us crazy, it can turn us into idiots.
No one was safe from it. Good or bad, young or old, male or female.
Heh, he was just at Hamilton's wedding with the Schuyler family's middle sister, Elizabeth, after all.
And people keep on falling head over heels in spite of that.
The image of Theodosia came back in his mind.
If anyone else was in his shoes, they likely would've gave up and looked else.
But he, he was alright with it.
Aaron can wait.
Hope you guys liked that first chapter. I decided that this will have four chapters at most, since the song talks about four things. Well, I'll see you all later. Bye.
