It was so nice outside Maria decided to take a seat outside enjoying the sun. She closed her eyes enjoying the silence for a bit. Maria knew that Georg eventually wouldn't be as "fit" as she would be due to their age difference, but she didn't really expected this to happen. Even though they had thirty wonderful years together and raised 10 beautiful children together, she still didn't think it was time for him to leave just jet. But every day she came here it felt as if he had left already. His body still here but his soul already went. She sighed deeply as she looked behind her seeing her husband's wheelchair being pushed to a spot next to the bench. Oh how the sisters would put up with her coming to visit Georg every time. By now it just seemed like she almost lived there. she looked up as she saw the nurse walking up linked her arm with Georg's.
"Hello," She smiled up at him "i hope you slept well" She said to him. He sat himself down in the chair opposite her. "Well yes i did" He smiled back at her. "continue you story, well that's if you want to of course" "I'd like to hear the rest of it, and eh, you're rather nice company ma'am" He gave her that half smile she loved so much. she also felt sad when she heard him call her ma'am. She opened the book and continued reading.
Maria smiled as she saw the captain play with his children. over these couple of weeks he really bonded with his children. They were playing tag and the children seemed to be having great fun. she smiled at the memory of him asking her how one would play 'tag'. His parents must be very strict. she often wondered what his parents would be like having noticed his children never really talking about their grandparents. but oh well what did she know, they probably just lived far away. Maria was pulled out of her thoughts by one of the children.
"Fräulein come join us! It's great fun!" Brigitta called out to her governess. Maria, even though she sat nice and comfortable, decided to get up and join in. Walking up she didn't hear the person coming from behind "Tag! Your it!" Georg said as he tapped her shoulder "Ooh you!" She squealed as he quickly ran away. She turned around and quickly ran after him. Running faster he tripped and fell. He rolled onto his back. "Tired already captain?" Maria teased. She leaned in to tag him but just as she did, Georg took her arm and pulled her down causing her to land on top of him. "Was that really necessary?" She asked him raising her eyebrow. She felt his hot breath on her face as he inched closer "Yes, and" counting the time he grabbed her arm as her tagging him he added "Tag, Your it!" He said lightly tapping her nose. He rolled her on to her back as he got up and ran back to his his children "Watch out! I think she's really gone mad!" He teased at his children. Still taken aback by the situation that had took place only a few seconds before she pulled herself together as she made a run for the children. When she reached the children they had already sat themselves down onto the grass. "You aren't going to tell me that your tired already too?" She said as she put her hands on her hips raising her eyebrow. "Well alright then" She said as she sat herself down into the grass. "we'll rest for a little"
She laid down on the grass closing her eyes against the sun. "But," she quickly added "You do have some studying to do, so you deserve a little rest before you start" She laughed "oh father really?" The children whined "Why of course! your studies can't be neglected" He told his children.
Max Detweiler had been watching them for a while. His Friend looked truly happy again. the scene in front of him made him think about how things were with Agathe. Maria really was a saint helping the family the way she did. She had so much joy and happiness to give. And she and Georg definitely seemed to have some sort of spark between them. And Max being Max liking a bit of love and drama, of course hoped that there would happen something between them. But he told himself not to do anything this time. They just had to figure it out on their own. Max did wish his friend some happiness again so Georg did have to come with something soon. He laughed at his own thoughts making his way back inside probably going to look for another piece of cake of a drink from Georg's 'holy' liquor cabinet.
The children, their father, and their governess al enjoyed the sun before the children started on their studies and the captain went to his study.
Maria stood in front of the door to the captain's study. She was really nervous asking him this. Normally she wouldn't ask for anything but this was really important. She slowly knocked on the door. "Come in" She heard him say. She slowly opened the door entering his study. She has never been to his study before. It had a big wooden desk on the left were the captain sat. And then on the other side of the room was a fire place. And then opposite her it had a large window with a sofa right under it. On the two remaining walls were two large bookcases reaching all the way up to the ceiling filled with all types of books. "Was there something You wanted fräulein?" He asked her "Well I eh, I actually had kind of a request..." She answered him "Oh well have a seat" He motioned for her to sit on the chair in front of him. "Well What is you request?" he smiled up at her. Oh her smile. She loved his smile. Frankly she noticed she seemed to like almost everything about him lately. His eyes, his smile, his... "Fräulein?" He asked when she still hadn't answered "Oh i'm sorry! eh, yes my request, well you see, I wanted to ask if i could get tomorrow afternoon off?" She looked up at him she continued when she didn't see any signs of him approving of disapproving. "Well I wanted to visit my Grandfather, I eh, I haven't seen him since i came here and eh, Well he lives in Mondsee so it will probably be just an hour by bus-" "Nonsense!" The captain cut her off "I beg your pardon?" She couldn't help but feel a knot rise in her throat. she wished he would be more understanding. But everything explained itself when he continued "I'm not going to let you go there by bus all alone, I'll drive you there" "What? I'm, I'm sorry but I, I can just take the bus I take that bus all the time" She explained to him "Well you'll probably stay for dinner, who knows how late it's going to get!" He argued with her "But Capt-" She was cut off by the captain speaking again "No Maria i'll just drive you there" Oh how cute she looked slightly worried expression on her face. desperately trying not to be a burden. giving him a half smile of agreement that she shouldn't go there all by herself.
"Well then it's settled then isn't it? Just tell me what time you want to leave tomorrow and i'll come with you" he smiled up at her. Maria nodded as she got up and left his study.
After closing the door she leaned against it. her cheeks turning red. Did he just call her by only her front name? And yes, She was really happy to see her grandfather again but, oh help! Now She had to sit in a car with the captain, Alone! For almost 40 minutes! How was she going to get through this!
So this was the 3rd chapter!
So i hope the next chapters a going to really clear up my story line! In the next chapter or the one after that i'm going to bring Georg and Mario together! so yeah... Please review!
