Thank you for the new reviews! I'm so glad people are loving the family history element! And i'm proud to tell it :)
"I tell you what," Rufus stated in a whisper, Alex and Wood were ahead of them and they were pulling the carriage. Wyatt turned his head briefly and then turned back to the course in front of them, "its lucky that were in the 1880's and PDA wasn't a thing...otherwise there would be a lot more than waist and shoulder holding happening"
Wyatt cleared his throat, "Yeah its lucky"
Rufus chuckled beside him, "Like i believe that"
"What?" he questioned, "its for the best. It would over complicate things"
"Things aren't complicated?!" Rufus exclaimed quietly, "dude each night you share a tent is going to get more intense"
Wyatt sighed he knew Rufus was right. Pretending to be man and wife was one thing, but spending the night together more and more was proving difficult. For many reasons.
He breathed in the South African air, almost jungle like surroundings and felt at peace. He enjoyed so many aspects of this trip and he knew spending this time with Lucy was one of them, "How comes you know me so well?" he questioned his friend with a smirk.
Rufus shrugged, "Eh you time travel enough with a guy long enough you kinda bond and get to know each other" he said with a smile.
It was silent for a bit longer until Wyatt spoke again, "When Lucy said she felt proud of me...," he started, "it felt real Rufus. This 'role' felt real. What she said sounded like she meant every word-"
"-dude she did mean it. Haven't you learnt that with Lucy by now? The girl spouts truth for a living. She wouldnt say it if she didnt mean it" he told him with confidence.
Wyatt caught ahead, Alex motion to an area to obviously set up camp for the night. He and Lucy were going to translate for Alex and Emie...although he would just sit and listen of course. Lucy was going to do all the translating.
Maybe Rufus was right. He was getting tired of that being the case. But he had to face reality and maybe not fight it so much. He and Lucy gravitated towards each other and if pretending to be man and wife continued to push them together further, he wasn't going to stop it.
"Everything i've said as 1880's Office Wyatt Logan has been true" he stated like a fact. He trusted Rufus and had no one else to really talk to about this who knew him so well and Lucy. To when he said she was radiant, to feeling lucky everyday and anytime he called her 'sweetheart'. He meant all of it, it was like this role was there as a bumper to say what they both wanted to say, but in different versions of themselves.
Rufus gave a soft smile, "I don't doubt that man. You two just put up barriers with each other, or walls even, one on either side ," he explained, "you just have to take down the wall, brick by brick. At the end of it, your both there facing each other with no wall stopping you"
Wyatt sighed heavily knowing that was true, but not wanting to face it quite yet. Without responding to Rufus he pulled the carriage over to the side. Jumping down from the front and walking to the door of the back of the carriage. Instantly it was the Empress he saw first, he opened the door and placed out his hands for the her to take, she stepped down thanking him and walking towards Wood who was surveying the area. Next was Reine who had been impeccably quiet, she stood not far from the carriage and brushed herself down.
Taking Emie's hand was surreal, he found himself watching her as she stepped down and placed her hand in his. Parts of her reminded him of his Mother, her smile mainly and of course the eyes that he had inherited according to Lucy.
"Merci Monsieur Logan" she spoke sweetly with that smile, he nodded graciously and she walked over to the Empress, obviously asking if she needed anything.
He then turned for the last lady in the carriage. Lucy stood up with grace, and then in true Lucy fashion, tripped on the bottom of her dress and she cursed.
He let out a chuckle, and her eyes instantly went to him with a glare.
"Are you laughing at me?" she questioned as her head appeared out the door.
"Me? No never" he responded, making sure to snap his face back to as straight as possible. He then put out his hand for her to take.
She looked down at it briefly, waiting there outstretched for her, she cleared her throat, "It's ok Wyatt. No one is watching" it hurt for a moment when she said that. He didn't just do it for the role. She lifted her skirt a little to start to walk down the small steps.
"Lucy will you just take my hand," he demanded, frustrated at how stubborn she was, "i don't care if people are watching. You could fall and break your neck in that thing," he told her as her eyes met his, his tone serious.
Complying straight away she nodded. But he didn't want to just take her hand. He had the sudden urge to do something more.
With a quick movement he moved in front of her and by the look of surprise on her face she had no idea what he was doing.
"Wyatt?"
Suddenly he grabbed a hold of her waist, her tiny frame in his grasp and he lifted her off the carriage steps and to the ground. Light as a feather and instantly she had a smile on her face and the continued look of surprise.
"Why did you do that?" she chuckled, her hands resting on the sides of his arms.
He shrugged, looking over her shoulder and noticed Alex and Emie standing together smiling at them, "Because now people are watching" he told her nodding his head over to the other couple.
She turned and noticed them, giving a small wave. He couldn't help but see the disappointment on her face when she turned back round, she tried to mask it with a smile. But it wasn't working, he could see right through it, "Oh" came her soft response.
A pang when through him, a feeling he didn't like, so he leaned closer, surprising her as she stood more alert. His mouth was right by her ear, "You do realise i only saw them, after i put you down right?" he asked and quickly kissed her cheek. Really not caring if anyone was watching or not.
