This would be a touch story with um... touchy scenes. Well I don't own any Candy Candy characters, blah blah blah. Hope you all enjoy. ^_^
Chapter Two We Meet Again
"It is Terry Grandchester, mistress, and he asks for you." The maid explained.
"Terry Grandchester..." Candy repeated again and again as if it was an ancient and forgotten name.
"Should I tell him to come in, mistress?"
"No... I'll go down. Tell him to wait."
"Yes." Then the maid left the room.
Candy whipped her tears away. And made her way to the tea room. She accidentally tripped over the carpet. Patty ran over to help her up.
"What's wrong Candy? I heard that there is a visitor, who is it?"
Candy's eyes darkened into a shadow. She remained silent and tears oozed out of her eyes. She continued weeping without one word.
"Candy! Tell us." Archie urged worried about the sudden mood.
"Is it because of what we told you? About Terry? But..." Annie stopped.
The heart of all four skipped.
"Is he..." Patty hesitated to ask. Candy made her way onto the couch. And nodded.
"Oh God, why does he have to be reminded of again. I tried my hardest to let go of him, thinking it was for the best. But he has to come back. Why? Why?" Candy buried her face into her hands.
"Do you want me to call him up?" Patty suggested. "It would be impolite."
Candy ran towards the stairs. "Do what you like Patty." Then Candy stumped up the stairs and threw herself again into a dark corner cushion.
Below she could here the door opening and foot steps and greetings been said from all of them.
I wish Albert was here, if he was everything would be fine. He would comfort me. Oh Albert, where are you? I need you so bad... I haven't loved you so much until now. When you're gone.
Candy whipped away her tears with her skirt and peeked down. Terry looked more like the drunkard he used to be at St. Paul's then the actor Candy last remembered him to be.
"Terry..." Candy whispered softly. "Why? Why have you become like this?"
"It's nice to see all of you again." Terry said.
"You too Terry." Annie replied.
"You're married I say, Annie?" Terry smiled.
"Yes Terry to Archie." Annie looked at Archie with a warm smile.
"And Stear... I'm very sorry Patty." Terry bowed.
"You don't have to be. I tried my best to get over it, and I almost did though not entirely. What brings you here?" Patty asked.
Everyone knew the answer but kept it silent as if no one had a clue. Finally Terry broke the silence.
"Where is Candy?" His face darkened to a painful twist.
Annie and Patty started at each other searching for a suitable answer.
"I'm right here." Candy felt her saying. She couldn't hold it back anymore. She wanted to talk to Terry again. To be close to him.
Terry turned around now facing her and looking into her eyes, searching for the compassion and love she felt for him before. But he found nothing except emptiness and sorrowful memories of him. He also found a new love, for someone else, someone else then him.
"Candy..." He whispered through the breeze that swept again into the room. "How are you?"
Candy walked down the stairs blindly. The light shone through the window and made her face very bight.
"I'm fine Terry." Candy said toneless at seeing her lover once more. She stood still like a stone at the end of the stairs.
The room was quiet. It was too silent. It was silence for like a 10 minutes. Memories that had only existed in Candy's heart became to overtake her. Candy did not know how she made her way to the couch. She sat down on the soft cushion. She wanted to hide the truth, to hide her love, hide her feelings. She didn't want to think about love anymore. She didn't want to be heart ever, ever again in her life. And she wanted peace.
Candy held back her tears. She walked out of the room. "I'll be back before dinner."
She made her way out of the mansion, hoping that Terry would be gone then. She didn't want to eat, she couldn't cry. Her tears were already dry from the sobbing and weeping for Terry.
Why didn't you come sooner? Why did you confess earlier when I was still long for you. Now when I just want peace and happiness for the first time in my life. You come in and meddle with it again. I don't understand you, Terry. I can't stand you. You and your smile, your eyes, your heart and fierce in passion. I am scared. I have to tell myself the truth, I didn't want you to come back. After all the things, you can't just come back and walk into my life, and expect everything to be okay again. You can't, not after what Susana had done for you, and your decision to stay with her.
Candy sat into Archie's boat and sunk into a vivid dream.
Dream:
"... if there is not anyone who object that these two should be together, then I will announce you..."
"Stop!"
Candy opened her eyes, she saw Albert wearing a dark suit. And herself a bride's gown. She looked towards first speaker, a priest. And then at the owner of the sudden halt. All happiness drained from her face as she saw who it was. Terry stood and stared jealously and evilly at Albert.
"Terry!" Everyone shouted towards him.
"Yes that's me, and I object of you two being married."
Terry walked up to Candy who was unable to move, frozen in time. He told her face and forced a long kiss. Candy felt the pain coming to her heart again, unbearable, and unable to release it.
"Why? Why terry?" Candy whispered after the terrifying and fierce touch.
"Because I still love you. I care for you more than anything else then the world. Candy, don't you love me?" Candy was captured by Terry's longing eyes. She was surprised that he questioned her love. The love that remained strong and true until, until Terry's decision which broke the string that bonded them together. The agony of the jerk was unbearable for both.
"How can you say that Terry?" Candy answered back finding her heart speaking the words. "I always loved you and always will."
"Then why..."
"I also love Albert. I want you to be happy, go back to Susana and claim her love once more."
"She's just playing me."
"She had condemned suicide for you."
"I will be with no other woman, if fate decides to take you away from me, I shall die here in front of you."
"Oh Terry." Candy's eyes sparkled with tears. "Don't say such a thing." She closed her eyelids trying to shut everything out. "These days have been too tough, only Albert was there for me." Candy turned to Albert who stood there without moving a muscle.
Candy slowly kneeled down and covered her face. "I don't know what to do. I can't stand this confusion..." Then she gave up and fainted on the floor, she felt the cool marble touching her cheeks, and the whole world was swirling away and away, further and further towards the distant sky. It was dark red with a crystal clear sadness added to it. Candy stared at the image, the past oozed into her mind, she could make no sense out of it. She did not know what to say, what to think, what to do. Except to lay there forever till eternity.
"Good bye my friends." Candy whispered through the wind and heavily closed her eyes.
