CH 5
The next day when Evelyn woke she realized that it all had been a dream. She laid in bed thinking about it all, the kisses, the longing, the passion and most of all the love. She had often dreamed of Rick but nothing ever like this. As she continued to ponder on it all, she felt someone stirring on the bed and then all of a sudden an arm made its way around her hip. "Did it all really happen?" was all she could think of. For a moment she was unable to face him as a blush made its way to her cheeks. While she was shy to face him, Rick, on the other hand, closed any distance that may have existed between them in the bed. Then he arose his head from the pillow and placed a gentle kiss on that cheek which continued to blush.
"Good morning," said Rick
Evy finally turned to face him and as she was going to respond to his morning greeting he moved himself closer in order make contact with her lips. After they parted Evy gave him as shy smile and quietly finally said "good morning".
For a moment nothing else was said or done as they continued to stare into each other's eyes.
"Wow, you're beautiful"
"And you're gorgeous. Oh, did I just say that out loud," Evelyn blushed ones more as she through his gaze began liberate herself.
Rick chuckled at her words, but then did nothing but caress her.
"Rick what is going to happen now?" the question suddenly arose unrepentantly out of Evelyn's lips.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean this…us…and…"
"And Elin and Christian?"
"Yes, them too. What are we going to do?"
"Do you regret this?"
"No, I love you and everything that has happened has come from that love. But, on the other hand I am scared that we did…you know…without thinking of how our actions may hurt others, them."
"Evelyn, all I know is that without you I've been completely empty and alone. And now that I have you back I am not letting you go. No matter who may stand in the way. I don't regret this in any way. I love what we did because it brought us together. I am sure that things with Christian and Elin, we will have to talk to them and set things straight."
"I'm scared of what their reactions may be. I don't wanna hurt them."
"I don't either, but they are going to have to understand that we love each other and that things just happened."
After this brief conversation the lovers once again share a passionate kiss that this time Evelyn had initiated. While they are engaged in the conversations of love, two others individuals are also conversing.
"You say that you were meeting her at the café that is across the street? Well, old chap it seems to me that you have been stood up for books. She stood you up for her books, you should be used to it by now."
"Why didn't I think of that? Alright, thanks Jonathan. I'll go check the museum. If she comes here tell her that I am looking for her."
"Bye Christian have a nice day at the museum," said Jonathan closing the front door and waving good-bye.
Jonathan was still chuckling at the thought of poor Christian, especially at his always being forgotten by Evelyn and then having to wonder all over town looking for her while never really reminding himself of the one place where she usually was which was her beloved Museum. Then he himself began to wonder about Evelyn. It had been really odd that she never scolded him on that morning for having left the party so early, and even more odd was the fact that she did not wait up to see where he had gone to. After all he had abandoned the party that she had planned for him, not even halfway through the night. "Maybe she got really drunk again last night, like she did back at Hamunaptra and slept in through the whole morning. Nah. I'll check her room maybe she might still be asleep," thought he making his way towards her room.
Inside the room, Evy and Rick we still wrapped up in their passion, kissing and embracing. They only let go of one another to gain some breath, which is what they did at the moment. They stared into each other's eyes saying tender words of love. Evelyn was lying on Rick's chest. He leaned up to once again join their lips what was a short but tender kiss, and while this happened the door to Evelyn's room was suddenly opened.
"Evy!!!!!!! Uh, Rick!!! You two!!! No way!!! What did you two?" after hearing no explanation and seeing the embarrassed expression on their faces Jonathan who also felt very uncomfortable began to laugh frantically. Once he calmed himself, he continued to wait for an explanation. For at that moment he felt like he needed one, but he also stayed because he loved how embarrassed and uncomfortable those two felt and wanting to ease the situation he felt that teasing them would do the trick.
"I'm waiting"
"Jonathan leave," yelled Evelyn now red faced with embarrassment.
But Jonathan continued as amused as ever.
"Jonathan if you don't get out, I will get up and beat you senseless"
"How are you planning on doing that with no clothes on. Because I can with all certainly say that you are not wearing any under those sheets and that goes for you too, sweet baby sister."
"One more smart remark from you and I will be the one to beat you senseless. Now Get OUT!!!!!"
"Ok, fine. But I will see both of you later, hopefully by then you will have clothes on," said he laughing.
At that point Rick picked up a pillow and slammed it towards Jonathan.
"Ouch! That hurt"
" I am glad it did. Now keep it up and that won't be the only thing hurting you Jonnie"
Jonathan finally left the room but his amused laughter was still heard inside the room. Feeling worried and awkward Evelyn quickly got up from the bed began to get dressed.
"I need to speak to him. What must he be thinking?"
Rick also left the bed and began to dress as well.
"Hon, its ok. I am sure that Jonathan understands. Or else he wouldn't have acted like that"
"Rick this…what we did wasn't proper and having Jonathan catch us like that just made it worse"
Seeing how worried she was and wanting to reassure her that things were going to be fine, Rick grabbed Evelyn's waist and hugged her. Repeating the words I love you in her ear.
"I love you too. And though I know that Jonathan understands about us I still need to speak to him."
At having said those words she left his embrace and went after Jonathan, whom she found in the living room reading the paper.
"So I see you have decided to come out of your utopian chamber," said he at having noticed Evelyn silently staring at him.
"Jonathan, what you saw…what happened between Rick and I…well, it just kinda happened. Last night, he walked me home and we started talking and things just you know"
"Happened?"
"Yes, but um…"
"Don't worry Evy. I understand. I always knew that you two were bound to get back together. I just never thought I would catch you two in the act and I hope I never do. Ew gross, please no kisses around me. I think I will be traumatized for the rest of my life," said he in his usual manner of trying to lighten the conversation.
"Oh, shut up"
"Now what are the two of you going to do about you know who?"
