First, I want to thank Jennifer for beta reading my 4 fist chapters and now Ainsling for this one, and I hope the next ones! Hope you'll like it! Don't forget to review, please!
Elizabeth felt her daughter's little hands on her cheek. She opened her eyes and saw her. They kissed hello and Ella asked to go down to see Gretel. Elizabeth let the little girl go out of the bed and got closer to her lover. She turned around to face him and came back to sleep, in his arms, in a warm and comfortable bed.
Two hours later, when she woke up the bed was empty, Robert's side was cold. She sat down on a pillow and called her daughter's name. She entered the bedroom, dressed, washed, with a red rose in her hands. She sat near her mother. Robert was just steps behind her, a tray in his hands. He put it on her legs and sat between the two girls, giving the big one a red rose. She first kissed the kid's forehead then her boyfriend. They ate in a comfortable silence.
They passed a sweet morning, watching cartoons with Ella, not talking about anything in particular, reading the news paper. They just enjoyed their afternoon together.
After lunch and a quick nap for Ella, they went to the cinema. Ella was getting very excited. Robert tried to put her in her car-seat but she was moving so much that she hurt his wrong arm badly. He let out a whisper and let her mother finish. When Elizabeth sat in her side, she saw Robert grabbing his arm, making a bad face. "-You're ok? -I hope. It's just hurt like the son of -shut up, Ella had big ears! -Well, just saying that it hurts! -You want to take something? -No, it'll pass." With that, they left.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived. Ella couldn't stay in place any more. Lizzie relieved her from her seat and she started to run toward the cinema. Robert was faster and grabbed her. He left the little girl and carried her to the place. There were a big queue and Ella was getting bored waiting so Robert decided to bring her finding some popcorn while Elizabeth waited for the tickets. Near the machine were Carter and Abby. He let out a swearword, fortunately Ella didn't mind. His colleagues saw him and moved toward him. They were both shocked to see him with such a beautiful little girl and relieved to see that he had a life out of county.
"-Hi Dr Romano. Taking your child out? Asked Carter. -We can say that like that, Carter, responded Robert, at the same time Lizzie came with the tickets and placed a sweet kiss on her daughter's forehead. -Carter, Abby. She just said, too amused by their face, a mix of shock and horror. -You, you're together?? Managed to say the young woman -Yes, like you can see. Answered Robert, too pleased to let it go, he moved closer to Elizabeth and kissed her fully, keeping a laughing Ella in his arm. -That's quite a surprise. Said Carter. I'm very happy for you two. You make a good match. Are you together a long time? -No, we're just together a few days. I didn't think it possible I would kind of enjoy Robert's company! She said blushing -I'm very very happy for both of you. What are you going to watch? Asked Abby -The wild thumberfields! What about you? -Don't know yet. Perhaps that too. Answered the doctor -Mommy, mommy, want to watch 'lisa! -Yes honey. See you on Monday."
After the movie, Robert took his two favourites human girls to a
restaurant. They were happy because of his gentleness and enjoyed a romantic dinner in a Chinese restaurant. Well, romantic is perhaps not the right word.
They were near the end of their supper when they saw approaching Kerry and Sandy. Robert murmured "so sweeeet! After Carter and Abby, her. god is love.." Elizabeth laughed but stopped as soon as Kerry arrived. She saluted them, and started chatting about how nice they were together. Robert, wishing to be spending his evening with his girls, and only them, had, for their own good, to be rude to her: he asked her to go to the parade with lovely Barbie and to let them in peace. Kerry, red with rage left them without saying more. The rest of the dinner was calm and quiet, just some talk between them, the giggles of Ella.
Ella sleeping peacefully in her bedroom, they had the entire house just for them. Elizabeth offered some tea and he accepted. First they sat in silence in the dark living room, neither of them knowing what to say. Lizzie's giggle broke the atmosphere and they started chatting. "-You know Robert, I've never feel that tense with anyone in my life. -and I suppose there were plenty of men.. he said smiling -not that much in fact, she added blushing a bit, you think I'm a coyote girl? Deeply I'm not, my behaviour with Peter isn't one of my favourite, and that's not really what I do usually. -Are you sentimental Lizzie? I've always known that! -Don't make fun of me Robert, I meant it! Well, she said in a low tone, like she was saying a confidence, when I was in Britain, I had only one lover. He was the love of my life, I thought. We started going out together when I was 12 and he left me after 15 years together. He broke my heart. I had never loved a man before him and I thought I could never love anyone else. My true motivation to go to America was running away from him. I couldn't see his face without thinking of him, of all my feelings for him. So I chose to just leave my feelings home and start a new life. -I didn't know, honey, I'm really sorry. He told her with all the sweetness and gentleness he could show. -that's not your fault, you didn't know. I acted in a totally different way than I felt when I arrived. I didn't want to get hurt anymore so I chose the strong face of my personality. Perhaps it was a mistake but I was the only thing I found to protect myself. -Are you afraid of our relationship? Do you think I would hurt you? Lizzie, I promise you that if one day I'll do, I could never forgive me 'coz' I love you so hard, he told her looking straight in her reddish eyes.
-I don't think you'll hurt me as much as he did. I don't know in fact. When he left me, I though my life was finished but with time, I know that nothing can take off my life except me. I don't know if you can understand what I mean. -I think I understand. It's was harder because it was the first time, wasn't it? -Yeah, you understood? The first time was the hardest. I'm not very used to be left just yet, and I don't think I'll get used once but I will never let anyone in my life like he did. -Lizzie, can I ask you why he left you? If you don't want to answer me, I'll totally understand. -No, that's alright. He left me, she started feeling tears forming in her eyes and her throat contract, he left me for another woman. She let tears roll freely on her cheeks and cried aloud. -shh, that's ok, that's ok! I'll never hurt you, I love you too much. -He used to say that. -I'm not like him, at least I hope, he said smiling, hoping comforting her. -No you're not like him, not at all! She said with a huge smile! You're very different to the boys I used to date. In fact you have some similarities with Peter, but that's all. -with Peter, Peter Benton you mean? 7 -Yes, with Peter Benton. My friend in England was called Edward. -what do I have in common with Peteah? He asked intrigued -hum, something very special. -what? he was getting impatient! -hum, the. -What, I'm boring to death waiting for you to tell the rest! He said a bit furiously -well.. you have in common with Peter.. -what?! he nearly screamed -the sex!" She said turning red with that, he took her on his shoulder and kept her in her bedroom..
