CHAPTER 29
Philip was finishing his morning round. I couldn't stop thinking about that woman, I missed Elizabeth so much. Unfortunately I had to see her, because my heart was demanding it of me, they were the worst ten days of my life, ten days without seeing that woman was a great torture, so the best time is now, she would be at school, her boys everyone around, so I couldn't act like a fool or say something I shouldn't, much less try something like hug her or the baby.
Arriving at school, I found all the children outside, eating their lunch and others playing. I asked Cody about the teacher, he pointed inside the school...
Arriving at the door, I took off my hat and heard wailing cries.
"WHAT THERE WAS? IS SHE IN PAIN? DID ANYONE DO SOMETHING TO HER?" I thought to myself and started to get desperate and quickly walked to the first bench, where she was sitting with her back to the door, crying without stopping, I knelt down in front of her and took her hands.
- Elizabeth, are you okay? Do you want me to pick up Carson?
Thick tears flowed from his eyes, Philip choked, it hurt so much to see those blue eyes with so much suffering, removing the glove I took my hand to his face and wiped away a line of tears that were flowing without stopping. She closed her eyes, it seemed like she was trying to find the strength to say something, when I realized she had already pulled her into my arms and was stroking her hair, which fell on her back, making a sea of lavender-scented waterfall, she was crying softly. I didn't know the cause of her pain, but I wanted to take it away from her, if I could I would never let her cry again, it was breaking her heart.
- Bella!
- Bella! Talk with me please...
She looked into his eyes, a light resurfacing... And when Philip noticed, her lips were already on his, brushing lightly. She had her eyes closed, I was so surprised that my eyes were open, it felt like my heart was going to explode. She breathed on my lips, passing her tongue lightly so that I could open it, at that moment my whole being heated up, and making me throw everything up in the air and pulling her into my arms, I felt that soft and fragrant mouth, where she melted into me. my chest, and that kiss was so passionate, I missed it immensely, there was a love in it that made me forget where I was or who I was. It was so perfect, it was as if she had been born to be in my arms, her mouth received me with a tenderness that was transporting me to another world, there was no one in that place, everything was spinning at that moment in a world of just the two of us. The kiss became more and more intense, deeper, my blood boiled in my body, feeling the softness of that woman...
... That's when someone decided to show up.
I felt two kicks on my body. Pulling away, I looked into Elizabeth's eyes, seeing a fire and a wonderful light there, a new life resurfaced in that look and she, smiling, looked at her belly and said:
- I think he liked it too...
I looked down, looking at that beautiful belly, which was now moving with Baby Thorton's kicks everywhere, and smiled, happiness reaching me, in a magnificent way. A sense of accomplishment when looking at that baby in your belly. I took my hand and felt the wonder of the baby's movement, a life that was being generated inside.
- I think he really likes you. When he looked at Elizabeth, he got his answer right then and there, he would love that woman and that baby all his life. They were the most important people in his life and without thinking he lowered his head and kissed her belly saying I love you my baby.
Elizabeth was crying even more now. I realized what I did, I got all embarrassed and taking his hands I started to apologize.
- I'm sorry, please, I'm sorry... I know I crossed the line... I didn't mean to...
But Elizabeth, using her fingers, silenced him and calmly spoke in a voice hoarse from crying.
- God writes correctly with crooked lines, perhaps we cannot now understand why or what for. But he doesn't do anything without a reason. Philip, I trust God, I trust you, and everything will be fine when the time is right. Because the Lord is just and perfect, he knows all things. Furthermore, love always wins, and for love we must always fight. And lightly kissing his lips, she stood up and quickly rang the cowbell. She looked beautiful, she was seven and a half months pregnant, with a perfect, round belly, she was perfect in every way, and she fit him perfectly. At that moment he saw several children and young people running in and laughing, all the girls passed by and kissed his belly, while the boys touched him lightly with their hands. You could see the movement in her belly from afar, that baby was enjoying all the affection from the children and Elizabeth had a huge smile on her face. Those children loved their teacher and their baby, he had never seen a place where children smiled so much when they went to school, or where they were so excited. I got up, smiled and said goodbye, leaving for the city.
I continued riding towards the city, my head kept thinking about Elizabeth, this city really gained a lot from her coming years ago when that tragedy happened, maybe if she hadn't come and fought for these children, today these boys and girls Mostly orphans of miners killed in the coal mine, they could have followed a different path, a world where resentment, hatred, and lack of hope reigned, she brought light to the lives of these children and many families in Hope Valle. And from what I know, it brought Jack something he never imagined he could achieve in life, true love. But she was like that, she also showed me that I didn't know everything, she showed me the love that can exist between a man and a woman, something that goes beyond the physical as I see several friends enjoying, I always imagined a pansy, but I thought that as a mountie I would never have it within my reach, I, like Jack, still use and like the mountie motto that if I were to get married the mountie would give me a wife, but this woman left my jaw dropped with that kiss, and My God, what a kiss that was. I don't remember having had a kiss like that in my life, a kiss with life, a passionate kiss, a kiss of love, there was such a great love expressed in that kiss, and the softness of those lips was something impressive, honestly now I'm sure "ELIZABETH, YOU WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!"
