Lovers in a Dangerous Time
CH 8
As Evelyn walked towards her room she began to cry. Mixed emotions reigned inside her being. She was happy about knowing that Rick loved her, but on the other side she felt that it wasn't right for her to be happily in love while others suffered. She had heard what Rick had said about Elin and found some truths in his words, but she could still feel that the girl did love him. Evelyn could not help but remember a few months back when she felt that she lost Rick forever and she could not help but sympathize with Elin and Christian. Evelyn felt like a thief stealing away other people's happiness, yet in her could not consider giving Rick away. She couldn't. She wouldn't.
That night not far away Rick contemplated the same thoughts as Evelyn. He never wanted to be like with Elin. She had been a good friend, but that was all he could see her as, while Evelyn was his love and his whole life. Without her things had been so bland that now that he had her back he could not bare to be without her anymore.
The next day after having thought things over, Rick went back to Evelyn and Jonathan's place. Upon getting there, he found a completely different Evelyn than the one that had pushed him away the night before. Once, she saw him, she grabbed on to him as if afraid to lose him. Rick returned to embrace and returned the passionate kisses that she was giving him.
"Rick, I don't ever want to be away from you again. I don't know how it was that things got so complicated for us, but all I do know is that whatever I may do or say, I want you to know I will always want you to be with me because having been away from you has been the hardest most…"
At knowing exactly what she felt Rick without letting her finish her words began kissing her and reinstating his love to her.
After the passionate exchanges, the couple sat in silence still in each other's arms.
"I want us to go talk to Elin and Christian. We owe it to them to be honest," said Rick cutting the silence, and Evelyn shook her head in agreement.
They set up to meet with Elin and Christian, with some resistance from them but eventually got them to agree that it was necessary. When they all arrived, Evelyn and Rick sat at one side of the table, while Elin and Christian at the other facing the first two. Silence became the atmosphere as it was too uncomfortable and nobody knew how or where to begin.
"All I want to know is why the hell, I was called to speak to the four of you? Why does she need to two of you here? I thought that everything had been resolved at her place. I don't need this anymore," said Christian angrily and about to leave.
As Christian spoke Evelyn and Rick exchanged worried glances because to them it now seemed more difficult than they initially had anticipated. They had thought that since some days had passed that the tension would have been somewhat broken and that in some strange way they could continue friendships with their exs.
"Wait…" said Rick grabbing a hold of Christian's wrist, at which point Christian pulled it back.
"Don't touch me"
"Whatever you say. I just think it is important that you listen to us. Evelyn and I need to explain ourselves, and that is why we have asked the both of you here…"
"No wait Rick. I should say something. Christian, just sit down. We should resolve this. But let me speak first. I am so sorry for the way that I acted. I knew that you didn't love me," said Elin, "and I tried to rush you into something that you never wanted. I am sorry. And you were right, when you said that I was only acting like that because I was a spoiled brat and because you were the first man to reject me. It's true, I had never been in that sort of situation and I felt that I owed it to myself to change that but it wasn't up to me. Evelyn, Rick does love you, he always has. I feel awful for all that I said before," continued Elin apologetically.
"You had every right to what you said. Rick and I would also like to apologize to you. To both of you, for being so careless and hurting you both," added Evelyn.
"You should not apologize. Hey if love came to me like that I wouldn't think it twice, which I usually don't do when some sexy stranger approaches but that is anther story. I am glad to see that it is working out with you two, because this crazy captain was going crazy without you. And I know. I was there through his sappy tails and his teary eyes, though he always tried to convince me that it was something in his eyes," said Elin with a smile as she was cut off by and outraged and forgotten Christian.
"What the bloody hell is going on? You…you're the man that she is now leaving me for. I cannot believe this. How can you be so stupid? I mean look at him, Evelyn. He is a barbarian. Is this some sort of a joke? Because I don't really understand how it is that you two are together when in my understanding the two of you hated each other. I also don't understand how it is that this broad who was his girl can be so friendly and contented with this whole situation. This is absolutely ridiculous. I will not stand for this, so don't expect me to be like her" said Christian as he left the table angered.
The table remained silent for a few minutes after Christian's heated departure. As the silence prevailed, Evelyn looked down almost wanting to cry. She knew that her dear friend was in pain. Elin was the first to notice, Evelyn's saddened expression, and extended her hand to her, which made Evie look her way.
"Don't worry, he will understand. Just give him time."
"I don't think he will."
"That is his problem. You can't go carrying everyone's problems on your back," responded Elin with a smile.
A few moments later Elin excused herself and left the couple to be on their own. Rick put his arm around Evelyn and kissed her cheek.
"Don't worry baby, things are going to be fine. Everything is going to work out for us, and hopefully for him too. Things are going to be great," said Rick sweetly.
"Yes, they will," said Evelyn losing herself in his eyes and love.
