Hey I know it's been a longtime and this may be the only chapter for a while. School is starting so I won't have as much time as I wish I did.
Ch 6
Felicity held her breath as the carriage came to a halt. General Madison got off his horse and helped her out of the carriage.
" You look beautiful, now let's get you and the general acquainted," General Madison smiled.
Felicity placed a fake smile on her face and followed her father inside. He had barely gotten her inside when they just happened to bump into the Lord General and O'Hara.
" Oh My Lord! I'm sure you remember my daughter, Felicity." General Madison said.
" Of course how could I forget such a lovely face, and this is my second in command, General O'Hara." Cornwallis said.
O'Hara smiled down at her and offered his arm as they went back inside.
" So Miss Madison is this the first time you've been to Fort Carolina?" He asked.
" Well actually no." she lied.
" Really I'm sure I haven't seen you here before." He replied.
" I don't come here often," she said.
He had a creepy smile but other than that he wasn't too bad.
" Miss Madison I must say that I think that color looks wonderful on you." He said.
" Thank you." She said.
" Pardon me but I think I need some fresh air." And with that she excused herself and headed to the gardens.
" Plan A is working perfectly." She smirked.
She snuck around form the gardens and then over to the Officers tents. She remembered him telling her that his tent was at the end of the row. She looked up and down cautiously avoiding strangers and camp followers until she came to the last tent.
She lifted the flap and looked to see him sleeping. She didn't really want to bother him but she had avoided this for to long. She tapped him lightly on the shoulder and waited.
" Mph. Go away Bordon." He mumbled.
Felicity frowned and kneeled next to the cot and kissed him softly. His eyes flashed open and he looked over at her.
" Good Morning." She smiled.
He looked at he in shock. He hadn't seen her in over two months.
" Lissie, what are you doing here?" He asked.
He stood up and went over to her.
" I missed you." She said.
" Is that all?" He gave a small smile.
" I love you?" She offered.
" I'll take that." He said kissing her softly.
" You don't know how much I've missed that." She said.
" How did you get here?" He asked.
" Easy, I convinced my father I was here to meet O'Hara, I needed a breath of fresh air and I snuck over here." She said.
" You can't stay here." He said.
" I've come all this way to see you I'm not about to leave," she replied.
" Do you realize what could happen if you were discovered here?" He asked her slipping his arm around her waist.
" I'm not about to find out. I won't let them take you away from me again."
" Felicity, It-I-I love you, but I can't let you live your life in danger." He said.
" William you're sounding like my father!" She snapped.
" After I left I realized he was right. I couldn't keep you safe." William said.
Felicity looked up at him.
" Don't say that." She said softly.
" Someone needs to say it, Felicity."
" Has it really all come down to this? Am I to live alone wondering when I should have made my own choices? William don't turn me away, not now." She pleaded.
" I'm not going to turn you away, if this is truly what you want then stay." He said. He wrapped her in his arms and kissed her again.
" Just promise me one thing."
" What?" She asked.
" If you change your mind stay away from O'Hara."
" I'm not going anywhere." She said as he pulled her to the cot.
He didn't say anything as he pulled her to him.
" Just relax." He whispered in her ear.
And as she lay there in his arms she did just that.
So what do you think? let me know.
