Lucky you were born that far away So we could both make fun of distance Lucky that i love all foreign land For the lucky fact of your existance Baby i would climb the andes solely To count the freckles on your body Never could imagine there were only 10 million ways to love somebody (From the Shakira's song "Whenever, Wherever")
As the sun set the three heroes made their way back to civilization. They were all tired and restless from the journey, but happy enough because each returned with their lives. Finally with the sun down the travellers' skin began to cool. For this too they became thankful. They had had too much of the desert sun for the past week. Yes, they lived in Egypt in which it was very hot, but the cairo sun was very different than the one in the desert, where everything seemed a thousand times worse. They decided that for today it was enough and therefore they began to set up camp. This seemed like a good decision to all since they were only 1/2 days ride from the nearest town. For now all they wanted was to relax and get something which they had not had for a week, sleep. Enough of it would offer them strength for the continuation of the journey. As camp was set up Rick and Evy decided to separate because Evenlyn thought that it was not proper to sleep so close to a man that she was not married to. It had not even been proper the way that they had ridden from Hamunaptra, but seeing the situation that they had been in all about being proper had been forgotten. Right before they began to settle in thier spots, Rick walked over to Evelyn to say good-night. He always became so awkward when it came to her and he didn't know why. He felt like a school boy and first crush.
"uhm, i just wanted to say goodnight."
With these words he planted a quick kiss to her lips. There was so much more that he wanted to say, but he just wasnt able to do so, especially since they hardly knew one another. For Evelyn this was such in his personality. After all he was the take command legionnaire. Now he just reminded her of a couple of days earlier when he had awkwardly given her the tool kit. Eventhough, she hardly knew him, she was sure there was something on his mind which was bothering him. But, neverless she didnt want to push to something he didnt want. She began to get embedded in her thoughts,
"maybe he doesnt love me, but how can he love me if we hardly know one another. But i feel like i already do love him. What if he loves someone else, maybe what happened between us was due to our having been in danger. Maybe its like he said when i asked him why he had kissed me, 'it seemed like the thing to do'. oh, Evelyn stop this. Just stop. Why do you always have to overanalyze." she was soon taken from her thoughts byt Jonathan who began screaming.
"I...I...I..." he could not get a single word out of his mouth except for I. Evelyn and Rick soon went to Jonathan and both became speechless from what they saw.
Finally Rick broke the silence.... "Now, look what we have here. My guess is that our little friend Beni put the treasure in order for him to escape with."
"Only a scoundrel would do that," Evelyn gives jonathan a sly look.
"Stop looking at me like that old mum, it wasn't me. i was with O'Connell the whole time."
"Oh, please Jonathan i didn't mean you. i told him nasty little fellows always get their come-upsings." said evelyn.
"Right, now the best thing we could do with these is to hide them until we get to the fort, so that we can get a better look at them, because who knows what kind of eyes could be watching." said rick eyeing the treasure carefully.
After hiding the gold, they decided to finally get some shut-eye. Johnathan was the first to fall victom to his exhaustion. Evelyn took to her side, while rick countinued to wonder about his earlier predicament. he decided he had to do it. he crept up to Evelyn's side and without knowing wether she was awake or asleep, began to talk.
"I know we haven't known each other for long, and this is probably very cowardice of me to say this to u while your sleeping, but i have to get this out......." said Rick as nervous as a 14 year old school boy a wating his date.
At this he was interrupted by evelyn, who was still up.
"What is it, what's wrong? what do u have to tell me?" asked Evelyn very worried.
"oh, i thought you were... asleep" said Rick looking down at his hands.
" No, i couldn't sleep, i was thinking about... about....um...well, what has happened these last couple of days."
"Yeah, they've been rough on us all," said Rick looking up into the sky.
Thoughts rushed in both of their minds about what they really wanted to say, but each was too scared of the other to so so.
"Jonathan is the only one who doesn't seem to think too much about it," included Rick.
" Yes, well that's my brother. He can sleep through anything, well of course except a party."
They both laughed awkwardly.
"Its so beautiful out here, especially because you're here. Do you wanna marry me? yeah, so look at the stars. I love the desert nights."
Evelyn is taken aback, she is not sure if she had just gotten proposed to.
"What did you just ssay? I'm sorry i thought you just...Did you just ask me if i wanted to marry you?"
"So do you? I mean yes, I want us to get married. What i meant to say is will you marry me? I know that we havent known each other long, but i know i dont want to lose you and that i want to marry you."
Rick continued to ramble for what seemed to be an hour. After having let his feelings or rather his intentions be known, he felt the only way to pass off a rejection was to ramble. His cheeks began to reddened as no answer came from Evelyn. She still could not believe what was happening. She loved this man, but was that enough?
"Rick, wait...i dont know what to say, i know, i mean we dont even..," she was cut off my Rick.
" I know what you'll say about us not knowing one another, but that doesnt matter. That's what marriage is all about, its about getting to know for one another. Right?"
"I guess, but," once again Evy is cut off by Rick.
"You dont love me, is that it?" said Rick with a hurt look on his eyes.
"No, that's not it, I love you, its just that..."
"Well, what else can it be?"
"I'm scared."
At this point Evelyn began to consider the situation, now she knew what had been bugging him. He loved her, and why was she putting a front between them.
"Yes," continued Evelyn.
"What? Yes you're scared?" said Rick.
"No, i mean yes I'll marry you," said Evy with a huge smile on her face.
"Really!!!When?"
"Is tomorrow ok for you," she said jockingly.
Rick jumped up in excitement bringing Evy with him. She had to shush him and calm him down and even herself because of her sleeping brother. They embraced and had the most passionate kiss each had ever known. That night neither were able to sleep. The excitement of the future that awaited them was too much to waste on sleep. They conversed the whole night, about their pasts, present and future. Eventhough, Evelyn was a level headed individual, when it came to Rick she lost sense of everything and let herself be lost in all that he had to offer.
As dawn approached, the camels were mounted and they made on thier way to the near city of Hambul. Once at the city, they lodged in the cheapest and possibly only hotel in town. They would have chosen to leave that same day, but the boat would not make its way back to that port till the next morning. With the little money that they had from selling the camels, they managed to get some clean clothes, a room and passages back to the fort in Cairo.
Rick had left Jonathan and Evelyn to take care of some "business". Jonathan being the impatient personage that he is decided that he would not wait for O'Connell and went his way to the local Casbah to take care of some "business" of his own.
While the two men went their separate ways, Evelyn began cataloging the treasure. Suddenly, Rick crept back into her mind. His voice made goosebumps on her skin. The thought of being his wife for the rest of their lives made her heart jump out of her chest. She could not wait, she loved him so much. She began to think about the wedding plans. Who would she invite? What would she wear? The only family she had was Jonathan and an uncle, from her mother's side, and his family. She planned to pay him a visit soon, maybe he could come to the wedding. Suddenly breaking her train of thought Rick came in.
"Hello, little lady," he said with a sly grin.
"Hello there," said Evelyn with a grin herself.
They shared a deep kiss and parted.
" I have new," announced Rick excitedly.
"About?"
"The wedding, i mean our wedding. Today i went to a chapel and made arrangements for a priest and everything," said he with a proud look on his face.
"Rick, i hope you know i was joking about us getting married so soon."
"So you dont wanna marry me?" The happy and proud look were changed by wonder in his features.
"That's not what i meant. I just think we need some more time. Rick...I had never done anything spontaneus in my before this week. I do want us to be married but i think we should be a little bit more prepared to get married. I also wanted us to be surround by our loved ones," said she seriously.
"I know, but we can do this again later, right now all i want is for us to be together. i never thought that i would be the kind to want to get married but now look at me. I cant stop making plans with you, cause i dont want to lose you."
"I love you, and dont want to lose you either," says she while losing a grip of her seriousness and letting herself be seduced by his words and the idea of elopment. "what about Jonathan?," questioned she.
" Isnt he here?"
"No, he left around the same time as you and still has not returned. My guess is the Cashbah."
"yeahn i would guess that too," added Rick who had not know Jonathan too long but had already gotten to know his habbits. "Well, do you wanna do this, Evie? Its you decision."
"I have never done anything like this my whole life...I dont think this will be so bad."
"Really?" questioned he with a smile.
"Yes, lets do it," said Evelyn feeling confident about the move that she was about to make.
They shared another deep kiss and off they went to the chapel. They by looking for Jonathan in the local Cashbah. He wasn't there or in any place for that matter.
"He's not here, what do we do?"
"Well, Evie we have to go, we have the chapel booked for another 30minutes"
"Alright lets go"
They walked to the chapel and as they were making their way inside Evie stopped at the front of the door.
"What is it, Evie, are you having second thoughts?"
"I dont...I dont know if i can do this. I'm so scared."
"To tell you the truth", said Rick" i'm scared too. My hands are sweaty. I've never done anything like this either. BUt i jsut want you to know that i love you and if you want to back out of this its ok with me. We can always do this some other time."
"No, Rick i want to marry you now. i guess its just jitters,"said Evie trying to smile through her nervousness.
They walked in and were greeted by the priest who wondered why it had taken them so long. The services were rushed since there was a ceremony right after the marriage.
At the cashbah Jonathan drank the little money in his pockets. He began to play cards and conned some strangers out of their money, leading to more intoxication on his part. Eventhough, most of the people at the cashbah were the town's natives, they were not all dumb when it came to being cheated, as jonathan quickly realized. One of Jonathan's opponent had noticed his ways causing a fight to break out in which Jonathan came out as the poor loser.
In the meantime, the newlyweds entered the hotel room in a giddy mood, smiling and hugging. But this was soon cut short as they saw Jonathan's condition. He was completely drunk and had a couple of bruises on his face........ End Of Chapter 1
