A great ray of sunlight awakened Eames.
Damn it...
She had slept so badly.
As soon as she had closed her eyes...
She saw Goren again, who took her lips with passion, putting his tongue in them, and forcing her to spread her thighs.
At first she was very angry...
But as time went by...
Her anger had given way to a great trouble in her.
Turning her upside down.
Eames would never have believed Goren capable of such a thing.
She put her hand to her heart, which was beating violently in her chest at the memory.
Damn it...
She absolutely had to pull herself together.
And forget what she had felt deep inside.
Eames threw back the blanket, and sat down on the couch.
Something caught her eye.
A bouquet of pink tulips on the coffee table, or was a little word.
Eames recognized the writing.
Goren...
Good God...
What did it mean...
He who never went out.
Would he have made the effort to go out to try to make up for what he had done yesterday...
Eames huffed in exasperation.
- You talk...
Eames knew Goren too well.
He wasn't the type to apologize.
He always found a way other than apologizing.
In addition...
That bouquet of pink tulips...
Goren knew it too well.
He knew very well how to make it up to her easily.
It wasn't fair.
He was too smart for her.
In addition...
This time...
She wouldn't forgive him so easily.
She would simmer it for a while...
It would be a lesson to him.
With a trembling hand, Eames nervously grabbed the little note, and opened it.
"I beg your forgiveness for my behavior last night. Bobby"
At her words, Eames' heart raced.
But she pulled herself together.
Like every time...
He knew how to do it.
It was easy.
But this was the first time...
That she read his words...
An apology.
And strangely...
She felt like forgiving him.
Goren had to go out to buy her flowers...
Which were his favorites.
And he had to face people's eyes.
How was it possible...
He who refused the slightest idea to go out.
Nothing by his bedroom...
Or he would shut himself in.
Goren had done this for her...
She couldn't believe it.
And yet...
Tulips...
And pink.
Her favorites.
Maybe she should forgive him.
But just this once.
Eames sensed he was being watched.
She turned her gaze to where she felt that gaze being placed on her.
Eames saw a small piece of white fabric protruding from the wall.
A small mocking smile appeared on her lips.
So Goren was there.
Hiding behind the wall.
At Watching her.
Good God...
Was he really that scared of her.
Good...
It had to be brought out of its hiding place.
- You can come out of hiding Bobby...
At her words, Eames saw the white cloth disappear.
Eames had to bite his lip to keep from laughing.
My God…
What a child.
Goren was afraid of her.
It was strange...
Had she given him reason to be afraid of him.
When it was he who...
I kill you...
Oh...
So that was it...
Goren had taken her words literally.
Eames was mad yesterday...
Especially after he spread her legs.
But that anger was gone.
She wasn't mad at him anymore.
Just by that nice intention of the flower bouquet.
- I'm not mad at you anymore... You idiot.
I'm not mad at you anymore...
Was it true...
Was it possible.
Eames was no longer angry with him.
But still...
He had behaved very badly to her.
It could not be possible.
How could her forgive her for such a thing...
It was impossible.
- Bobby...
At the little voice of Eames near him, Goren came out of his thoughts, to discover, an Eames right in front of him, the face raised towards him, and who was looking at him with a little smile on her lips, her big hazel eyes shining with softness.
Goren blushed violently, his heart pounding in his chest, at the sight of such an adorable Eames.
So it was true...
Eames was no longer angry with him.
But how was that possible.
After what he had done.
Goren had expected everything...
Except this.
In addition...
It was she who had come to him...
He who refused to come out of his hiding place...
For fear of facing her.
Goren had stayed in the corner, hidden by the wall, waiting to see Eames' reaction to her awakening, and to the vision of the bouquet of pink tulips.
He could see all the expressions on her face.
The discontent, the exasperation...
But most of all he had seen this little joy on her face.
Joy that had turned him upside down.
Much more than the other negative expressions on her face.
Eames moved closer to him, causing Goren to back away, and he found himself stopped by the wall.
She put a big smile on her lips, and brought her hands to her collar, stood on her tiptoes, brought her lips close to the scar on Goren's cheek, brushed it.
- Thank you for this bouquet...
At her words, said with softness, and at this kiss, Goren becomes completely scarlet.
No but...
What was Eames thinking of kissing her...
And especially on the cheek.
Had she lost her mind.
In addition...
He didn't expect her to forgive him so easily.
- But don't ever do again what you did last night...
Eames brought his fingers to his chin, dipped his large hazel eyes into her brown one. Or you will have to deal with my service weapon.
At his words, Goren shivered, shook his head in denial.
He had learned the lesson very well.
And he would never do such a thing again.
At Goren's stunned expression, Eames burst out laughing.
- You really think I'd kill you…
Good God...
So Eames was openly laughing at him.
He should have been offended...
Or even pissed off.
But hearing her laugh, made him one of those goods in the heart.
That he forgot all the distress in which he had lived before his arrival.
And for that...
He had to apologize for last night.
A bouquet, and a word, was not enough.
He needed to apologize to her in person.
- Alex... He put his hand on the back of her neck, not daring to look at her, everything embarrassing. I am truly sorry. And... He paused for a moment, and taking his courage in both hands, launched himself. I'll change...
Yes…
Goren was determined to change.
He didn't want to be that taciturn...
And obnoxious.
Especially not with Eames.
He wanted to be that cheerful man again...
And distinguished.
I'll change...
So Goren decided to change.
It was a big step forward.
That obnoxious man...
That he had become...
Was enough to make her mad.
Was he going back to being the kind and thoughtful man he had always been.
Her lifelong partner.
It would be so nice.
Eames didn't want that dark man anymore...
With a bad temper.
She wanted to find the Goren of old.
Eames put a big smile on her lips, nodded.
- I will help you.
At her words, Goren's heart filled with gratitude to Eames.
How could he ever repay her for all that she had done for him.
And to think he had dared to do such a thing to her last night.
As he hated himself.
Eames was an extraordinary woman.
Whose goodness was probably one of her greatest qualities.
And just for her...
He would try to be that man she knew again.
Yes that man...
Before the drama.
And he would do anything for Eames.
