Chapter 9 (part 4)
They left the living room and Chris and Jamie were left alone.
Chris:I'm sorry that Sadie was so cruel to her sister
Jamie:she's just jealous, she didn't liked the compliments you gave to Jude
Chris:I was shocked I always so her dressed as a nun and I didn't noticed that she's so beautiful
Jamie:too beautiful you have to say
Chris's thoughts 'yes too beautiful...her skin is like porcelain, her eyes so blue and
innocent, her lips they look so soft and that innocent and in the same time not
innocent at all, the look in her eyes make you crazy. You feel yourself falling and
boiling, you feel desire the need to touch her, kiss her and feel her. No, I have to
stop these thoughts she's going to be my sister in law and I have to respect her as
one, after all it was all my fault that I broke off our engagement but how could I
know that she's so desirable, beautiful, sensual and innocent at the same
time?..How could I know if I never saw her this way before?'
Jamie's thoughts 'yes too beautiful, her skin looks so soft, so innocent and I'm sure she's still a virgin and never been touched before. And that's the thing that makes it more intrigued to touch her, feel her everywhere and kiss her skin from head to toe. Oh, I think I'm getting hard even by imagining her like this naked on a bed just for me.'
Anna was showing them there rooms.
Anna:this room is more colder and I think you will find it comfortable. If you need something you can call the servants.
Sadie/Jude:thanks aunty
Anna: good now I leave you to have a nap
Sadie and Jude were left alone
Sadie: which bed do you prefer?
Jude: it doesn't matter
Sadie: are you in bad mood?
Jude: are you surprised?
Sadie: I think the convent made you colder
Jude:listen to me carefully... this is the last time that you're going to make me feel embarrassed in front of other people
Sadie:other people or Chris?
Jude:in front of anybody you have no right to critic what I dress
Sadie:I only said the truth...you have to admit that there is no much difference between the nun's dress and what you're wearing
Jude:I feel comfortable like this
Sadie:ok, whatever don't be so angry...I promise you from now on I will not say anything about your clothes
Jude:I'm going for a walk
Chris was outside talking to a servant when he saw Jude coming out from the
house trough the garden. She looked so pretty and the sun on her face and her
hair made her more beautiful if it was possible and the temptation for Chris was
there.
Back in Jude's and Sadie's room there was a knock at the door.
Sadie:come in
Luana:have you called Miss?
Sadie:to say it right I called half an hour ago...where is Carmen?
Luana:I think she's with Mrs Victoria
Sadie:I want that this dress will be ironed for me
Luana:I tell Carmen when she's ready
Sadie:but I need it now
Luana:I try to make it ironed by someone
Sadie:why you don't know how to iron?
Luana:I'm the personal servant of Mrs Anna
Sadie:and I'm the future wife of Mr Chris Dutois so sweetie or you iron the dress immediately or you're going to find yourself in a street
Luana:ok Miss (and left)
Sadie:what an arrogant
Back in the garden Jude was sitting under a tree when she heard steps behind
her. Scared she turned around to fin Chris. He bends down next to her.
Chris:I'm sorry if I scared you
Jude:no, you haven't scared me
Chris:I saw you come out of the house a minute ago
Jude:i like gardens
Chris:yes, me too...maybe you ask yourself why I was away so long from here...I loved this land when I came back perhaps it's because in the family blood. Have you always lived at the beach?
Jude:yes
Chris:and you like it?
Jude:it's a wonderful town but very poor
Chris:you know many people there?
Jude:no, not that much
Chris:me too I don't have that much friends you know and to tell you the truth in this moment Jamie is my only friend. How I see it a friendship is something important and you can't find it everywhere
In the time Chris was talking Jude was looking at his lips. She felt desire to touch
and kiss those lips and she didn't know why, she didn't liked Chris but those lips
seemed so familiar.
Chris:do you think it my way?
Jude:yes, excuse me but my mother will be looking for me
So she left. Chris's thoughts (while looking at her walking back in side) 'why did
she walked away? I know it was an excuse the thing of her mother. She was calm
a minute ago and then when I was talking about friendship she seemed nervous
as if she was thinking about something inappropriate. Maybe I made her nervous
but I was nervous too, she's so beautiful and when I talked to her she was
listening and looking at me not like Sadie. Sadie always looks in other directions
and I'm not so sure if she even listens to what I say but maybe because she's
afraid to loosen up with me. No, it can't be she was always loosen to me, flirty
and seductive why should she be afraid now? Ah, I think I'm getting crazy, since I
saw Jude hours ago I feel confused.'
Later that day at dinner they were all at the table eating.
Chris:the difference of society had been created by people with their scary minds because in side we are all the same
Anna:ah, Chris you where always a dreamer
Victoria:I think there are kind and kind of people
Jamie:yes, perhaps we are all made the same skin, bones, muscles (laughing) the only thing that makes us different is the intelligence and not talking about the education and blood
Victoria:that is true
Chris:I have to say it's not true; the blood is the same red to everyone the only difference is in fortune. We were born in richness, we had the opportunity to study, we were never hungry and we are healthy instead others have nothing not even when they were born
Jude's thoughts 'Chris is a great guy, he's not rude or arrogant, he's generous and
with a great heart. I like the way he talks about other people and he is even good
looking maybe I was going to be lucky to have him but now he choose Sadie. Why
Sadie from all the women he can have? She doesn't deserve him, she's different.'
That night everyone was sleeping and Jude and Chris were having the same
dream.
They were under the same tree of that evening in the garden, they were not
sitting they were standing. Jude was with her back to the tree and Chris was in
front of her. His hands were one on Jude's waist and the other resting on the tree
behind Jude's head. Jude's hands were one on Chris hand the one on her waist
and the other one was toughing his lips.
While she was touching his lips he was kissing her fingers while she moved them.
She moved her hand from his lips to his neck and he moved his face closer to her
and they were kissing with closed eyes. When they were out of breath they pulled
away and opened their eyes but instead of Jude finding Chris she found Tommy
and vice versa Chris didn't find Jude but Sadie.
They both woke up in that moment and couldn't go back to sleep because of the
thought they had what was the meaning of that dream?
The next morning Chris was in his room shaving and talking to his mother trying
not to think about the dream he had last night.
Chris:for me its fine mother...you know I want to get married
Anna:ok, today I will send a letter to Marise so she can begin the planning for the wedding and the dress for Sadie
Chris:ok
Anna:you haven't changed your mind?
Chris:for what?
Anna:Sadie she seems a little bit too alive maybe Jude was a better wife for you
Chris:I respect Jude and I even care a lot about her...you were right she has a lot of quality in her but I'm...(flashes of the dream came to his head but he didn't wanted to think about them) I'm in love with Sadie (he said it more like if he wanted to believe it then it was true)
Anna:ok than, we will not talk about this anymore...I wish that you made the right decision son
In the garden Jude was walking towards the chapel. She went to pray and think at
the same time.
Jamie and Chris were at the table having breakfast alone.
Chris:I understand why my mother preferred Jude she's more mature, reserved and with soft character
Jamie:I'm not with you in this. In her eyes you can see that she's strong and intense...I think that behind all she's very passion
Chris:this time you exaggerating ...what makes you think that?...I don't doubt that she could have been a good wife without asking anything back, modest but these are not the quality I'm searching in a wife. Sadie on the other hand she's so brilliant, full of life and with a seduction that makes everyone crazy
Jamie:I know you're crazy in love with Sadie but you can't say Jude doesn't have those qualities. In my opinion she's a very interested woman and it has to be very excited to get her
Chris:ah, Jamie you're too crazy. The only thing you're excited about is the fact that she's innocent and that she wants to be a nun. But I have to tell you Jamie that even if we're friends I'm not going to leave you disrespect Jude
And with that he left the table and Jamie alone.
Jamie:I can't believe he's getting jealous...I think I'm going to have some competition to have Jude
Back at the church Jude was ready and was getting out from the church when she
saw a little girl standing by the door way. Jude went near her and bends down to
be at her level so she could talk to her.
Jude:good morning...what are you doing here?
The girl said nothing
Jude:where is your mother?
Nothing again
Jude:you don't have a mother?
The girl moved her head to sign a no
Jude:and your father?
The girl pointed outside
Jude:what is your name?...you don't want to talk?
Again with her head signed no
Jude:maybe you want to go somewhere?
The girl pointed outside
Jude:ok, let's go
The girl took Jude's hand and walked with her to a building.
Jude:here before there was a school for the children around here
Girl:grandpa in there
Jude:there?
Jude went inside to see with the girl and there she found an old man tied up and
with cuts, bruises and blood all over him.
Jude:oh, my god
Teasers:
What do you think the dream meant?
What's going on in Chris's and Jude's head are they falling for each other?
Why was this old man Jude found tied up?
And what is Jude going to do to help him?
