Chapter 8

Oscar was facing a man she despised; he was the one in the force, who had informed the thieves about their movements. He was the mole of the worst kind…

"Because of your actions Sean is now lying on hospital bed!" she was furious. She was so furious, that she couldn´t control herself, but instead she hit him hard. After he fell on to the ground, Oscar´s men came and took him away. He was going to be sentenced in prison for a long time.

"Take him away from my sight!" she yelled angrily.

"Commander…"

She turned away towards the window. She tried to calm down.

Alan came to her…"Congratulations, commander. You have caught the thieves."

"Then why don´t I feel good?" she wondered.

"Because now you can go back to England…"

"What?...oh, yes…"

England? Yes, of course, to England…Now that her mission was over, she was supposed to return to England, but…A lot of things had happened since she arrived in France. Too much even…She still wanted to talk with Bernard and hear his side of the story. Even though he had been part of the gang, he still had saved her live. She just wanted to know everything.

And then was something else; this thing with Sean. Why did he act the way he did? And why her father was so against him? Surely it wasn´t just because Sean wasn´t wealthy. As if he was hiding something…

And then there was herself…Somehow she was changed…She didn´t want to go back to England anymore…

Oscar turned towards Alan…"Do you like it here in Paris?"

"Why…of course I do!" he was thinking about a certain young woman he had just met, Dianne. His eyes were shining, when he thought about her.

"Would you like to stay?"

Alan was excited "Yes, commander!"

Oscar laughed "Good! Because I am staying, and it would have been too bad if I had to lose a talented man like you."

"So you are staying…Is it because of Sean?"

Oscar blushed…"Speaking of him…I´m going to the hospital to see him." she avoided answering his question.

Alan watched, while Oscar hurried to the street…he laughed…"That´s the way, Sean. I think you caught her!"

At the hospital…

Sean was sitting on his bed, when Oscar came to see him.

"Sean!" she smiled, peeking behind the door.

"Oscar!" he smiled back to her. "Come in!"

She sat on his bed staring at him…Gosh, he was handsome. His eyes were like two blue jewels that shined so brightly, when their gaze met. And his lips…oh, how much she wanted to ki…"No! Oscar! What are you doing!" she thought to herself.

"Is something wrong?"

Oscar smiled and shook her head:"Nothing!" then she gave him the back she had brought with her. "I bought you some apples…and chocolate" she said.

Sean took the back and thanked her. Then he looked at her, somehow she had changed…He was worried about her.

"Oscar, is something bothering you?"

Oscar got up and walked to the window…she tried to hide her nervousness…She was thinking the time when Sean had kissed her. His lips had felt so passioned against hers...Now that she thought about it, no one had ever kissed her like that...She smiled.

"I´ve decided to stay in Paris." she said suddenly.

Sean was very happy "Oscar! That´s great news!"

Oscar smiled "It is. I…" she was troubled…There was something on her mind, but it was difficult for her to say it. This was her first time ever to…

"Then I can bring you my sister´s bakings and fresh chocolate every morning! I will work together with you, and I will help you to find apartment somewh…"

Oscar interrupted him:"I want you to look into something…"

Sean stopped "look into what?" he was confused.

Oscar explained how her father never told her anything about France, although they had been living there for centuries. She was sure that he was hiding something, but what?

Sean smiled "Of course. I´ll help you any way I can" his voice was very gentle…"I meant every word…I ´ll be by your side, always"

Oscar turned towards the window again and just listened. Her heart beat fast as she listened to his sweet words…

"I have loved you all my life, sometimes wondering if you really exist… But I never gave up hope. I travelled through the world to find you, and yet I found you here in Paris…in my hometown. I´ve dreamed about you being together with me…I…" he was going to continue, when…

"Thank you…Sean" she looked at him, smiling shyly.

Sean smiled back to her.

"My answer is…yes…" she was all red…."I will let you help me" she said quietly

Sean was so surprised and happy…Was this really true? Did Oscar really answer ´yes`? He had never expected this…

"Oscar!" he yelled happily.

"I need to go now" she interrupted his happy thought.

"Alright" he answered.

Right that moment she felt her heart jumping madly. She remembered the time when he had taken her into his arms and kissed her. His lips had been so pliant and his arms were so warm…tears started to fall down on her cheeks, she just couldn´t help it. The moment was so sensitive and so…beautiful. She knew now, that this man was the one for her…he was her destiny, and she would spend the rest of her life with him. She didn´t care if her father disapproved. Even though he wasn´t rich, she could think of spending time with him…It wasn´t about the money, but about being able to life together with someone dear to you…

But when did she start to have these feeling? It must have been that moment, when Sean had been shot…At that moment she knew, that she loved him. Even the thought of losing him made her feel pain…It was then she decided to take her destiny into her own hands…
