Hey I know you think I will update every single day, but like I said in my other story, I will update this story every other day.
Ch 17
Anita sulked in a chair across the room from her mother's bed.
" Anita dear, stop being so childish." Lady Sullivan scolded embroidering a pillow for the baby.
" I knew he was brutal mother, but not that brutal." Anita said.
" Anita you know your father and I can't support you any more." Lady Sullivan said.
" Ma'am pardon me for saying so, but hasn't he been a good husband to you, He loves you and the baby. This war is causing people to go against what they normally would do." Ebony said.
" And she's absolutely right." Lady Sullivan agreed.
" Great, now two people are against me," Anita muttered.
Suddenly the door swung open and General Sullivan walked in.
" Elizabeth, we've been invited to dine with the Lord General." He addressed his wife.
" We eat with him every night! I'm saying where I'm needed most." Lady Sullivan said.
" But I need this." He pleaded with her.
" Why? So you can get another promotion? Tell him I was too sick to go." She argued.
" Oh fine." He said walking out again.
Lady Sullivan smiled and turned back to Anita.
" I'll go later." She sighed.
" Oh mother I wonder how father ever manages to put up with you." Anita smiled.
Two days went by and Anita still had no reply from William. Anita sat in her mother's room looking out the window. Christmas was in three days and everyone was busy sending gifts and visiting people. They had already received several cakes and numerous boxes. She was beginning to miss his embraces and having him next
Someone knocked on the door again and she groaned and went to open it.
William stood in the doorway, holding two bouquets of roses.
" I didn't know if you wanted red or white." He winced holding out both.
Anita looked at the bouquets then up at him. Tears began to form in her eyes and she threw her arms around his neck, taking him totally by surprise.
" I 'm sorry." She wept on his shoulder.
He set down the bouquets and held her in his arms.
" Shh." He soothed.
" I'm so stupid." She cursed herself.
" You are the most intelligent woman I have ever known." He said kissing her sweetly.
" I love you don't ever leave me again." He said breaking the embrace and handing her the roses.
" Now red or white?" he asked.
" Red," She replied
" Red it is my Lady."
