Chapter twelve
When Oscar woke up, the first thing she saw were André green eyes, tenderly staring at her. She showed him her most beautiful smile and kissed him.
O: "Good morning, love!"
A: "Good morning, chérie!"
O: "Did you sleep well?"
A: "Yes."
O: "Were you already awake for a long time?"
A: "Almost an hour I think. I was watching you sleep."
Oscar blushed.
A: "This seems all so unreal to me."
O: "What's unreal about this?"
A: "To finally be able to be with you, in the same bed, and to have the chance to see you naked…It all seems like a beautiful dream to me."
O: "Chance?... And now you've seen me, what do you think?" she asked him with a naughty twinkling in her eyes.
A: "I'm not completely sure yet. Let me watch you again."
André lifted the blankets and began to observe all curves of her beloved body again very intently.
A: "Long, slender legs, a flat stomach, beautiful breasts, an angelic face and golden blonde hair… Hm, everything I like in a woman. And somewhere in my memory, I seem to recall some lovely buttocks as well. You seem perfect to me. Simply as adorably irresistible as a woman can be."
He kissed her again.
O: "Hm… I love you."
A: "I love you too."
Oscar snuggled against his chest and put his arms around her. André hugged her close.
O: "If somebody would have told me that one day, you would become my lover, I would never have believed them."
A: "I'm nothing more than a lover to you?"
O: "No! You are my reason for existence now. I could never live without you anymore."
A: "Oscar… What are we going to do now?"
O: "… I don't know. How do you imagine our future?"
A: "With children."
O: "What?" Oscar asked surprised, suddenly sitting up.
A: "I love you, Oscar. And I want to be with you for the rest of my life… Do you accept becoming my wife?"
O: "…I do."
And they kissed passionately, to seal their promise.
A: "I promise to make you happy. Just wait and see!"
O: "But my father will never allow this." Oscar's expression suddenly turned worried.
A: "I know."
O: "The best solution would be…"
A: "No Oscar! Don't ask me to stop all of this, right after we finally found each other. I would never be able to let go of you go!"
O: "Me neither, my love! Where did you get such an horrible idea? I was thinking it would be best if we first discussed this with my mother."
A: "Are you sure?"
O: "Yes, she can help us maybe."
A: "Alright then."
O: "Well, I better get going then."
A: "No, stay a little longer. Stay here, with me. I want to enjoy your presence a little longer."
O: "Be reasonable! It will only be for a couple of minutes! I'll come back soon, my dear husband."
A: "Say that one more time."
O: "What? I'll come back soon?" Oscar asked, a little amused.
A: "No! Don't play innocent, Oscar, you know what I want to hear."
O: "My dear husband?"
A: "One more time!"
O: "My dear, handsome, beloved husband."
A: "Oh, I love it when you say that."
Oscar kissed him one last time, and then got up, washed herself and put on some clothes. When she went downstairs, she asked her mother if she could speak in private with her, which Mrs. De Jarjayes accepted immediately. Of course, all five of her sisters went to eavesdrop at the door.
MrsJ: "What did you want to talk about, my dear?"
O: "Well…First of all, I wanted to thank you for playing along in this game I set up for Amber."
MrsJ: "No problem, child. Are those quarrels between you two finished now?"
O: "Yes. She proved to be a wonderful sister after all."
MrsJ: "Amber is a lot like you, she had a strong character and she's very brave. That's probably the reason why you two got angry at each other so often. It's not always the case that similar people are a good match. Did you wanted to tell me something else?"
O: "Yes… André and I would like to get married. He proposed to me this morning, and I've accepted."
MrsJ: "…This day was bound to happen, I suppose! Be it with André or someone else, the most important thing is he will make you happy. You have my blessing for your union."
O: "Thank you so much, mother! But I also would have wanted you to help me to receive the blessing of father as well."
MrsJ: "You want me to oppose his decision, if he were to refuse your marriage?"
O: "I know it's difficult, but I cannot do this alone. I beg you, please accept. André is the one that matters most for me, and I would like to become his wife in front of the world and God."
Mrsj: "… You're talking as a woman deeply in love… I can't guarantee anything, but I'll do everything in my might to help you."
O: "Thank you."
At that moment, her five sisters decided it was time for them to enter too.
An: "I'll help you as well, Oscar."
Mo: "You can count on my support, little sister."
Ma: "On mine too!"
H: "Hey! Don't leave me out! I'll help you too."
O: "And what about you, Amber?"
Am: "… Father better accepts, or else he'll have to deal with me!" Amber smiled.
H: "BIG SISTER HUG!"
The five sister formed a circle around the youngest sister of the family, and gave her a bone-crushing, warm hug all at once. Strangely, Oscar let them do as they pleased. She was extremely moved, to the point tears had gathered in the corners of her eyes when she had seen her sisters were all so willing to help her. When it came to their mother, she was content to see that, even though they were so different from each other, the 6 Jarjayes daughters were still united by a strong bond of sisterly love.
An: "Mother! I think it's best to write a letter to father at once, so he'll come to rejoin us as soon as possible."
Ma: "And when he has arrived, André will go asking him for Oscar's hand in marriage, and if there is a problem…"
Am: "We'll take care of it."
O: "Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart, all of you!"
H: "One for all and all for one!"
Ma: "Oh no, Hortense, that sounds so cliché!" Marianne immediately joked.
Mo: "But, sisters, don't you all think Oscar looks almost…radiant today?" Morgane suddenly asked, amused.
Am: "Yes, I would even say she's lost something." Amber grinned, watching Oscar's head turning beet-red.
Ma: "Maybe it's because she has become a complete woman last night. I have the impression you've woken up completely enchanted."
H: "Oh! André must feel as if he's the luckiest man on earth today, doesn't he? Now how does it feel, to have lost your virginity?"
O: "B-But what are you trying to say?" Oscar tried to defend herself.
An: "Oh! Oscar! Our model of chastity has consummated before marriage!" Angélique chuckled.
O: "Angélique, don't tell me you're going to start doing this too!"
MrsJ: "Now you're saying it, she really seems more feminine this morning…"
O: "Mother!"
Everyone burst into laughter. Mrs. De Jarjayes decided to quickly write a letter to her husband, who immediately hurried to be there the next day. The last obstacle awaited Oscar and André, before being able to finally find their long awaited happiness…
