Chapter 4: Lost then Found
"You okay?" Robert asked, glancing at Georges.
"I'm alright" He said, giving the taller man a small smile.
'After everything we've been through, why this? Why now?'
Robert watched as the car started to round into the school.
"Excuse me, but could you take us to the market instead?" Robert suddenly asked.
"Uh..yes sir" The chauffer spoke, turning the other direction and speeding towards their new destination. Georges gave him a quick look, only he looked away when their eyes met.
When they got there, Robert let the driver off and together they walked to the beach right below it. "Where are we going?" Georges asked.
"For a swim"
Robert rolled up his pants, instantly regretting stepping foot in the water, as the water was freezing, seeing as it was winter.
"Robert you'll catch a cold!" Georges complained.
"I have to find something" Robert replied, Georges heart leapt-, he was taken back to that day, when Robert's ring had been thrown into the water.
"The ring?" Georges asked.
"The ring" Came the reply.
Georges gave a quick smile,
"But it's useless now…" Georges couldn't help but say.
"You don't need me- you have her" Tears welled in his eyes.
Robert walked towards that blonde and embraced him.
Georges gasped, and wrapped his arms around Robert's waist. Robert pulled him closer, lightly kissing the top of his head. Together they sat atop the sand, both thankful today was a fairly mild day.
"Robert..I" Georges began.
"Don't- don't worry about anything" Robert said, turning Georges face towards him.
"Robert- I love you" Georges whispered, tears rolling down his face.
Robert then kissed Georges lips, smiling as he said "I love you to"
They then searched for the ring until they were both shivering, -they were ready to leave when something suddenly glinted in the sunlight.
"What is that?" Georges whispered, picking it up.
There in his hands now sat the very ring they had been searching for.
Georges looked into Robert's eyes, -gently took Robert's hand,
Then slid the ring into place.
