...Continued.
"Oh Joseph... I am so sorry" she whispered stepping closer to him
he put his other hand up "don't" he answered still looking at her "god help me" he whispered
she gasped "what does that mean?" she said watching him as he shook his head "Joe, I am sorry I don't no what came over me?" she said softly as it poured around them
After a second he grabbed hold of her arm and pinned her back against her car, while putting his other hand up onto her neck as she stared at him.
"what are you doing?" she said starting to shake a little
He didn't answer, he just kissed her while still holding her back against her car. While kissing her he started undoing his belt and trousers, feeling his hands mess around with his belt she pushed him back and looked at him
"Joseph" she exclaimed "what are you doing?"
"your sexy when you are angry" came the reply while putting his hands on her sides and kissed her again "just sshhh" he whispered while pulling her skirt up slowly he started kissing her again
she grabbed his wrists "but we are out side and its pouring" she said while feeling him grab her underwear "Joseph" she exclaimed while he started pulling them down
"shh" he whispered while crouching down and made her step out of them then came back up "I want you right here right now" he whispered while pressing her body against the car "see" he whispered against her ear "I have always wanted to do you against a car" he said pulling her skirt back up around her waist "and with it raining, its perfect" he said looking into her eyes while lowering his hands, cupping her ass and lifted her of the floor, making her lock her legs around him, she gasped when her inner thighs brushed against his wet cloths
"someone might see?" she said as he pushed her back against the car making her moan
"I am that aroused it won't take long" he whispered and kissed her while freeing himself from his boxers
Afterwards he stood back and put his hand up to his mouth as she stood dazed and looking at him. Just as he was about to look at her a loud clap of thunder tore above them, he looked at Clarisse while grabbing her hand and pulled her towards the house.
Once inside, she turned to him both dripping wet.
"are you going to tell me what just happened out there?" she said looking at him
"I don't know what came over me" he said looking at her
"Joseph why did you leave?" she said looking at him as the storm raged above the house
"because I needed some space to think and see if I could stay in this marriage" he answered
"what?" she gasped "you don't no if you want to stay in this marriage?" she whispered
"I don't no" he shrugged
"what's changed Joseph, you knew this before you married me?" she snapped
"I don't no" he snapped back "I guess I just got to breaking point" he said looking at her "for weeks I planned this trip only for it to be ruined in seconds"
"I told you that we would of left today" she replied staring at him "and if you hadn't of left we would be there right now, yes we would of lost 24 hours but we would of gained a whole week there, this morning I planned it and made the arrangements" she said as he looked at her "if you don't believe me call Amelia and ask her" she snapped
He just looked at her for a second then poured himself a drink of whiskey.
"Look how many times do I have to say sorry to you" she said watching him down the drink "I tried making it up to you only to find you had left..." she said starting to feel scared "and then I come here, you do me against the car then tell me that you don't no if you can stay in this marriage" she said starting to cry "fine, you don't want to stay in this marriage?" she said shaking her head "then don't" she said wiping her tears away "it's over" she whispered while rushing to the door
"Clarisse" he said rushing towards the door and slammed it shut "I won't let you leave"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY" she screamed trying to push him away then stood back "I traveled for 3 whole god damn hours to come here to see you and try to save our marriage, I did it because I love you" she cried "and all your doing is hurting me"
stepping closer to her "I'm sorry"
She whispered "I'm sorry to" she said and walked towards the door, opening it and rushed down to her car
He stood in the door way watching her as she started the car, realizing she was actually leaving he rushed down as she reversed her car, nearly going into him. Then stood as she sped off out the drive, nearly hitting the posts to the gate.
And as the storm raged he rushed back into the house and grabbed his car keys, rushing after her. Finding her car in the ditch a couple miles up the road, he quickly jumped out and rushed over to her as she climbed up the small bank.
"are you ok?" he shouted while running up to her as a couple other cars started to stop
"yes" she snapped as he stood close to her "I am just fine" she cried
Carol, their next door neighbor there climbed out of her car and rushed over to them "is everything alright?" she asked as Joe ran over to the car
"yes I'm fine Carol, thank you" she answered while bending over
"are you sure" she asked rubbing her back "that was quite a flip"
Joe spun around and looked at them "what?" he asked rushing back over to them
Carol looked up "yeah, the car spun a bit then flipped over a couple times before going into the ditch" she said looking down at Clarisse "I am surprised she managed to get out of that ok" she said while looking up at Joe as he stood with his hands on his hips looking at Clarisse
"what was you thinking?" he asked in anger
"oh Joseph don't, not now" she said standing up straight as Police and an ambulance turned up
"that was fast" Carol said while looking at them as they rushed over
"is everyone ok, anyone hurt?" a paramedic asked
"no I don't think so" Clarisse said while rubbing her wrist
"you was in the car?" he asked
"yes she was driving" Carol nodded
He looked over at the car then back at Clarisse "you walked away from that?" he asked as both Carol and Clarisse nodded "wow you are lucky, you must have a guardian angel" he nodded and noticed her rubbing her wrist "lets get you in the back of the ambulance out of the rain so I can check your wrist"
"ok" she answered while looking at Joe then followed the paramedic
"Ok, I'll try not to hurt you" he said extending his arms and took hold of her hand gently making her gasp
Joe looked over "what are you doing?" he said rushing next to them
"I'm just checking her wrist, she was rubbing it" he said looking at him then back at Clarisse "my name is Mark by the way" he said trying to make her feel relaxed
"mine is..." she thought a second as both Carol and Joe looked at her "it's Harriet" she nodded
"Ok, Harriet" he said looking at her "I am just going to have a feel of your wrist to see if you've done any damage, you may have to go to hospital if you have"
"ok" Clarisse said with a nod
They all looked up as a Police lady climbed in the back "was there anyone else in the car with you?" she asked
"no, just me" she said closing her eyes as Mark checked her wrist "I simply lost control of the car" she shook her head "I don't really no what happened"
"ok" the police lady said looking at her "have you been drinking today?"
"no" she shook her head while looking at her "I haven't had a drop"
"ok" she nodded making a note
"have you broke your wrist before?" Mark asked as Clarisse shook her head
"yes you have" Joe said as everyone looked at him "when you fell of your horse, about 16 years ago"
"oh yea, of course" she said looking at Mark "I have then"
"ok" he answered then looked up at her "I think we are going to have to take you in"
"is it broken?" she asked as he nodded "oh great" she said looking down
"plus you will need a check over to make sure you are 100% fine" he answered
"it's alright, I will come with you if you like" Carol offered
"and me" Joe whispered
"Carol will be just fine" Clarisse said looking up
"I am coming and thats, that" he answered
At the hospital, her wrist was put into a sling while she was being checked over, then she was taken to a private room to try and relax a bit with her wrist resting on a pillow to try and get the swelling down before they plaster it. After a while Joe came in with two cups of coffee.
"I thought you might want some coffee?" he said walking over to the bed "I see you changed?" he said passing her, her coffee
"yes, they didn't want me in wet stuff so they gave me what some of the nurses wear" she said "and thanks" she said and took a sip of her coffee
"by the way" he said sitting down "why did you tell the paramedic that your name was Harriet"
"because I didn't want them to know my real name, why do you think?" she said looking at him
"you don't think he's not going to know? you are a Queen, His Queen for that matter Clarisse" he said watching her
"please whats with all the damn questions Joseph?" she snapped "why do you even care what I do?"
"I do" he said standing up and walked over to her "because I love you"
"ha sure" she said looking at him while shaking her head
"Clarisse" he whispered "I am so sorry about all the stuff that happened at the house, I said something I shouldn't of" he said as she looked at him "I must be crazy to even say it, let alone think it" he made eye contact "of course I want to stay married to you, you are the best thing that ever happened to me and I never want to lose you" he whispered
"I think you need to go" she whispered
"Clarisse please, I can't lose you" he whispered back as the nurse came in
"you can go now" Clarisse said looking at him
"I want to stay" he said
"and I want you to go" she snapped as the nurse stood back
"fine" he said and walked out
After a couple hours someone knocked on her room door, lifting her head she looked towards it as they knocked again.
"come in" she called out
"its just me" Mark said as he pushed the door "I just came to see how you was getting on"
"oh thank you, I am fine" she nodded while sitting up "we are just waiting for the swelling to go down a bit before they plaster it" she said looking at her wrist then looked at him
"yeah, may take a while" he chuckled a little as she smiled at him
"I bet you don't do this to everyone" Clarisse said looking at him
"no, actually I don't" he smirked while looking down then looked at her "but your a special case after all"
"I beg your pardon" she exclaimed
"you walked away from a car wreck, that doesn't happen very often" he smiled at her
"oh" she said "yea I guess your right" she looked at him as he nodded "well thank you for taking time to come and check on me"
"you are welcome" he smiled "everyone is talking about it around here, you are being called the Special Lady"
"wow, ok" she said in surprise then sipped her coffee
"you no I don't normally do this, but I wondered if you wanted to go for a drink sometime" he said as Clarisse's eyes grew wide and looked at him
"um..." she started in surprise "I am probably old enough to be your mother, you no" she answered
he smirked "I don't care about that, age is after all, just a number" he smirked looking at her
She looked at him still in shock and with a smile "you don't really watch much news do you?" she asked as he shook his head "wow ok" she thought a second "all I am going to say is don't brag about this to much to your pals, ok?" she laughed a little
"I don't follow" he said raising his eyebrow
"um..." they both looked towards the door as the nurse came back
"I just come to get you, to take you up for plaster" she smiled helping her sit up on the bed
"thank you" Clarisse smiled looking at her as she stepped of the bed "actually can you give me just a minute?"
"of course" the nurse nodded "I will be outside"
"thank you" they watched her walk out then she turned back to Mark as he stood in front of her "as tempting as a date sounds with such a handsome young man, I am going to have to pass on it" she nodded "I am sorry"
"oh thats alright, I just thought I would try my luck" he smirked
"nothing wrong with that" she smiled "one day though you will ask someone and they will say yes" she smiled at him while stepping closer and placed a kiss on his lips for a second then stepped back "good luck when that day comes" she smiled and walked over to the door, opened it and looked back at him "thank you for all your help today" she nodded once and left
He stood in a daze as she went with the nurse.
After having her wrist put in plaster, she had to wait for a bit. The nurse left her when Joe appeared.
"need a ride home?" he asked while walking over to the bed
"I guess" she nodded looking at him "sorry about earlier"
"it's alright, I guess we was both mad and just ticked each other of" he said looking at her while putting his hands in his pockets "I phoned home to let them know what happened, just in case it came on the news"
"thank you" she nodded "and yes you are right" she said looking down
"so are you going to tell me what was so important you had to put the trip on hold?" he asked while sitting on the edge of the bed and took her good hand
"I can't" she whispered "not here"
"it's alright, I know" she tilted her head a little while looking at him "Pierre told me that you nearly lost the crown"
she nodded "I am sorry I didn't tell you, I just wanted to deal with it then tell you as I knew if I stopped to talk about it I would break" she whispered
"it's alright, Amelia told me that too" he kissed her fingers "I love you Clari and I am so sorry for being such a twat"
"and I am sorry for being a bitch" she said
"your not a bitch" he answered
"I feel like it" she whispered looking at him
"well your not" he lent forward and kissed her letting it linger for a second, not knowing the nurse came back
"Oh" she said looking the other way as they parted
"sorry" Clarisse looked over
"no" the nurse said coming over "I didn't knock, so I am sorry"
"don't be, it's fine" she smiled "can I go home now?"
"yes you can, do I need to arrange a car to take you home?" the nurse asked as Joe helped her of the bed
"no you don't" she answered looking at her
"then how are you getting home?" the nurse looked puzzled
"my husband" she said still holding onto Joe's hand "is going to take me"
"ahh ok" the nurse smiled
"thank you for everything" Clarisse smiled as they walked past her
"no worries, just doing my job" she smiled and watched them walk of
As they headed down stairs, Joe still holding onto her hand as they walked past the nurses work station, one of the other nurses saw them leaving.
"Bye Your Majesty" she smiled as Clarisse turned to her
"Bye Sarah" she waved and left
As she walked through the doors, Mark appeared around the corner and walked over to Sarah not taking his eyes from the doors.
"Hi Mark" she said looking at him "whats the matter?"
he looked at her "did I just hear you say Your Majesty?"
"yes" she watched him look towards the door "why?"
"we had someone Royal in?" he asked
"yes, Queen Clarisse" she answered
"who?" he said looking at her
"The Queen of Genovia?" she answered grabbing the paper and put it on the desk in front of him "you didn't know"
he looked down at the paper and gasped "no" he exclaimed grabbing the paper "her name is Harriet" he said looking at Sarah
"um no... it's Clarisse, her sister is Harriet" she pointed to the picture of Clarisse in the paper "thats Queen Clarisse, Queen of Genovia" she laughed "where have you been Mark" she shook her head and answered the phone
Mark stood looking at the doors for a moment while putting his hand up to his lips "wow" he whispered and wondered of
Sarah watched him walk off and shook her head with a chuckle while hanging up the phone.
