Chapter 9
Few days had passed since Oscar had visited Sean. Ever since then she had been busy; she had started to arrange her new life in France. And the first thing she did was to apply for a job. And before she even knew it, they invited her to an interview…
"Congratulations!" said the man in front of Oscar after the interview was over.
"You´ve got the job!" and shook her hand.
Oscar was happy to hear that, she had applied for a job …and got it. And it was her dream job, too.
"You really have a remarkable resume. …I´ve never seen anything like this…" he complemented her.
"Thank you…"
After leaving the building, Oscar headed back to the hospital to visit Sean and tell him the good news. And that wasn´t all, ...she had decided to finally introduce Sean to her mother and sisters.
Oscar sat down next to Sean, put her laptop on the bed and started a videocall to her mother...
And after changing greetings, she introduced Sean as her boyfriend. All her sisters were there too...
"Mother...sisters..." she blushed "This is Sean Dumon...my…boyfriend."
They were all amazed by the news. They couldn´t believe, that Oscar-who had always said that love was just nonsense and that she would always stay single-had found herself a guy and was madly in love...
"It´s an honor to finally meet you, Madam de Jarjayes, Hortensia, Rose, Violet, Camelia and Chrysanteum..."he said all their names. They were surprised that he could remember them all..."Oscar has told so much about you. " he explained. Then he took Oscar into his arms and continued "I am happy to have met your daughter -and sister- Oscar. I fell in love with her right away and the time we have spent together have just made the feeling stronger...I am the happiest man on Earth ..."
"Oh my God! He is so romantic!" Hortensia yelled.
Madame de Jarjayes "Likewise, Sean. It´s nice to meet you. I´m so happy to know that my daughter has found a man, with whom she wants to share everything."
"Mother..." she was happy to hear those words.
Madame de Jarjeyes "Sean, will you promise to take care of my daughter?"
"I promise. I will protect her and love her with all my being."
"Where did you meet?"
"At Versailles..."
"Why do you love our sister so much? Isn´t she a bit of...stubborn?"
Sean laughed "That she is alright! But that´s what I love about her. And her constant desire to help others"
"Why are you in hospital?"
"Stop teasing him!" Oscar interrupted.
"It´s alright, Oscar. We were at Versailles to stop jewel thieves one night, and one of them shot..."
"How terrible!"
"I´m feeling fine now. And soon I´ll be able to get out of here."
"Anyway," Oscar interrupted, again " I have some other news to tell yous as well... I aplied for a new job here in Paris and..." she smiled..."I got it! I´m going to stay here with Sean..."
"Congratulations, Oscar!" they yelled. They were so happy for her.
"We wish you luck"
But Madame de Jarjeyes quickly added "Oscar, I will try to talk to your father about this, but I´m afraid he might not accept this..."
"But we´ll support you two!" yelled the sisters.
"Thank you!" both Oscar and Sean said.
After finishing the video call to her family, Oscar spent a few moments with Sean before leaving. "I still have things to do" she explained.
"Alright" he smiled "but aren´t you forgetting something?"
"What?"
"A kiss?"
She got all red, but went towards him and…
Gosh, how wonderful it was. His lips…how could she ever get enough…
And when their lips departed, he smiled to her with his blue shining eyes. The eyes of a man in love.
"Bye" she managed to say and then ran outside. She didn´t stop, but just ran. And ran. But as soon as she was out, she stopped to breath.
She smiled.
And after that, she continued. She needed to return to her hotel.
But on her way back to her hotel she saw a very distressful young woman…
Dianne was walking near the baluster of the bridge. She was nervous, but she was going to do it anyway; there was no point in her life anymore…So, she took her shoes off…
"I can do this…" she thought and climb onto the baluster. While she was standing there, she looked down. It was quite the fall.
"Oh my. That´s quite the distance…" Dianne heard someone saying. She turned her head to look: it was a beautiful blond man leaning towards the baluster. He looked like a Greek god…
"You are a very pretty young woman, but when you jump…Ooh!" she said and looked down…"All your insides will come out…your brains will be smashed and spread all over…"
Dianne started to cry…The words were so awful…How could he say something like that?!
"I would use poison…It is cleaner…"
For awhile they both stayed silent. They were just staring at each other.
That strange young man had certainly killed her desire to jump. His words were just so…disgusting. Now, she could never think of jumping off like that…
Dianne game down crying, and Oscar took her into her arms…"Now now…What made you decide to do something so horrible?" she asked her.
"He…he left me!" he cried.
"That´s terrible…but it´s not the end of the world." she tried to comfort her…"I too had experienced that, but I never considered suicide. He cheated on me, and it took me years to get over him, but now…I am very happy…"
"He wasn´t the one for me, I realize it now"
Dianne was surprised "You…are a woman?"
"Yes…" she looked right into Dianne´ eyes and smiled gently.
"Of course you are. You´re too beautiful to be a man."
"What´s your name? Do you have anywhere to go to?"
Dianne wiped her tears away "My name is Dianne…" she replied…"No, I can´t face my mother right now…"
"Then it´s settled; my boyfriend´s sister owns a bakery café and she need an assistant."
"You´re dating?"
"Yes, with a most wonderful man. Much better than the last one."
"Really?"
"Hmm" she smiled. "There are many bad men in this world, but luckily; also good ones, too."
Then they started to walk towards the bakery café…
"I told you, that eventually everything will turn to be just fine." Oscar said to Dianne as they walked together…
But Oscar had no idea of what her father would do, when he would find out about her new boyfriend…
Meanwhile…
The general got a phone call from Gerodero, who said that Oscar has found a man for herself.
"What are you talking about?!"
"That Sean…who we tried to imprison, has now enchanted your daughter…"
"What?!"
Not only that Sean was a commoner and poor, but there was also something else…Something else that really made the general hate him…
"I will do everything I can to stop their plans!"
