THE WIND OF LOVE
CHAPTER 08
Goren held Eames' letter in his hand, tears in his eyes.
He wiped the tears from his sleeve, going to open the door.
He found himself face to face with Eames.
She jumped, blushed violently and smiled when she saw him.
The heart pounding to break before the smile of this little piece of woman, the red cheeks, he wanted to move back, but stumbled back.
Eames stepped forward to try to catch up with him, but found himself dragged down.
Goren wasn't moving, his heart had just stopped, he couldn't breathe.
Eames had his head on his chest, his legs intertwined with his.
And his little body which was stuck to his, what damned a saint.
Eames all blushing from their position, wanted to get up, putting his hands on Bobby's chest.
She raised her head.
Their eyes met.
Both looked at each other breathlessly, without words.
Eames tried to stand up, but her leg didn't respond, causing her to twist in pain.
Bobby reacted immediately, he sat down helping him to do the same.
- You got hurt ?
Alex looked at Bobby in surprise.
Was he worried about her?
She dared not hope ...
Alex smiles inwardly.
He was really cute.
She brought her hand to her cheek, stroking it.
What startled him instantly.
He didn't expect that!
And his hazel eyes that shone with that little flame.
He put his hand on hers, savoring the caress, and interweaving his fingers with hers.
He didn't push back his gesture ...
Alex saw Bobby bring his face closer to hers.
She closed her eyes, feeling his lips brushed hers.
The doorbell rang.
They both jumped, pulling away, blushing.
Bobby stood up, waving his hand to Alex not to move.
Who could ring the bell?
He opened the door, recognizing Ross.
He shifted, hiding Alex's body.
Hell, he had forgotten Ross, who had to come see him.
- You have not forgotten me?
Ross turned his attention to what Goren was trying to hide with his body.
He saw Eames.
What was she doing here, and sitting on the floor?
He returned his attention to Goren, who was uneasy.
What to hide his two there?
- I came for the investigation! At the word of inquiry, Eames had risen to his feet, walking towards them. You're going to have to team up with our post and it will be with Wheeler! At the head Goren made, he realized that he wasn't too happy to team up with Wheeler. But he couldn't help it. You go undercover, have a fake wedding, may a killer seraglio take on the bride every time!
He was not too thrilled with this role, especially with Wheeler! He had always struggled with her.
But if he had to corner a murderer and if his district captain told him to collaborate with the district or worked Eames and well he would.
He had thought he could have avoided Eames, but she had come to see him.
- I want to be the bride!
Goren jumped at his words, blushing fiercely.
Not at all ! You should not have !
Had she forgotten the last time, her amnesia!
But above all, he should not work with her!
He had by all means tried to run away from her and today she was there!
What the hell was happening to him?
Why just the idea of working with her terrifies him!
Ross looked at Goren insistently.
What was wrong with him?
He who was always the first to resolve an investigation, today he felt he was not motivated.
- Do you really feel ready for this kind of Eames blanket?
Considering what had happened the last time, he hesitated!
Also knowing that Eames would team up with Goren could only be good for the investigation!
After all, they had been his best inspectors!
Plus, he had to admit that the idea of Wheeler and Goren working together hadn't really pleased him!
Knowing Goren he knew he would have hesitated, whereas with Eames ...
So why was he hesitating?
- Very good, but at the slightest problem, Eames ...
She nodded, giving him a big smile.
She was going to work with him again, and that was all that mattered.
Even just once.
- Ross…
He didn't have time to finish his sentence.
- We are going there ?
They nodded, following him.
Goren stayed well back and quite a distance from Eames.
If he could, he would have taken her legs around her neck.
But Ross would have found it weird.
- Eames, you know you look really pretty in that wedding dress!
Wheeler had been keen to help Eames get dressed, and walk him to the altar.
Even if it was only for cover, she was one of the agents who were there in civilian clothes or in case it escalated.
Alex was not comfortable in a wedding dress.
And besides, what was Bobby going to think of her in that outfit?
The sight of Alex took Goren's breath away.
God damn it, she looked pretty in that wedding dress.
She was walking unsteadily towards the altar.
Bobby now saw the little girl he had seen during his amnesia.
This prompted him to come forward and help her finish walking to the altar.
In several places the police were stationed, others were in civilian clothes and pretended they were attending a wedding.
But they were watching.
Bobby took Alex's hands in his, stroking them, trying to calm him down.
She must have been afraid to relive what happened the last time.
- Alex?
She raised her head.
What struck him was the sparkle in her eyes.
There was no fear, but excitement.
He was wrong.
She was not afraid, on the contrary, she looked happy.
But his gaze was clouded.
He turned his head away.
Never could he ever bring her such happiness, nor the slightest promise of marriage.
It was lost!
So why was she clinging to him?
Didn't she understand that with him nothing good would happen?
He heard a noise, which brought him out of his dark thoughts.
He turned his face and saw the priest raising his arm and wielding a dagger, rushing towards Alex.
This time around, he wouldn't let things get worse, or he might hurt himself.
He stepped in, grabbing the clergyman's wrist, stopping her gesture.
But the priest held on, trying every way to lower his weapon.
Alex looked at the scene, as if appalled.
There was a bang, the clergyman collapsed to the ground.
Alex slumped down.
Bobby had rushed to her bedside and caught up with her in time before she hit the ground.
- Alex, are you okay? She opened her eyes, gave him a shy smile and put her hand to his cheek, stroking it. I bring her back!
Ross nodded.
But watched the scene carefully before his eyes.
Could it be ...
Goren lifted her in his arms, keeping her tightly against him.
She leaned her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Alex had been scared, very scared.
But not for her, but for him.
What would have happened to her if something had happened to her?
She didn't want to, couldn't lose him!
She buried her head even more against his chest, hiding, and holding back the tears that came to her eyes.
Alex had grown too fragile over time. Too weak !
