He sat me down on the couch going to hang my coat then he returned taking a seat beside me. I hugged him climbing on to his lap still not saying anything. During the car ride he took off his suit jacket now leaving him in his blazer, white shirt and suit pants. He wrapped his hand around my waist just holding me. He was giving me the time I needed.
"My mother wants us to end our relationship in two months time" I looked into his eyes to see his reaction. He nods only pulling me closer I didn't need him to say anything. We stayed in each others embrace for awhile before my stomach grumbles. "Let's make dinner together" he whispers into my ears. "Okay" I nodded and stood up letting him stand too. He placed his hands on both my cheeks and I closed my eyes leaning into his touch. "We will be fine," and I believed him, if anyone could pull through it was us, our love was that strong. We worked in harmony in the kitchen. Once the food was on the stove William led me back to the couch. I sat on his lap leaning into his chest. The silence around us was comforting but I didn't like hearing my thoughts.
"Will how is Diana?" I instigated a conversation but I was also mildly curious about his sister. "She's fine. I think she's going out with someone mom called to inform she has being sleeping out alot". "How old is she?" He ran his hand through my hair before replying. "She turned 23 last year". Their last born was older than me with four years. "She's old enough to live on her own". "She is but mom likes to see her as her baby girl" he chuckles and I nod. "Why does Charles still live with your parents?" "His afraid to leave their safety net but I spoke to him his not getting any younger". "You're so mature Will," "I had to grow up too fast but you....you make me feel so young again Belle. Even if this ends I want you to know no one can ever take your place in my heart". I nod, "I'll go check the food," he lets me go watching me until I was out of sight. I sink to the floor bringing my leg to my chest. My mind was a mess and I felt alone even when surrounded by people. William will be fine but will I? Can I live without him to keep my head afloat? Is this what depression felt like? Like I'm drowning and the oxygen left in me can't keep my eyes open. I cried. I cried for falling in love, some parts of me blamed my father for letting me take that job. I hated myself for falling in love with William but most importantly I hated the world for trying to take him away from me.
"Belle!" William turns the stove off before squatting down to my eye level. I didn't look at him feeling ashamed. I'm Elizabeth Morgan for Christ sake! This isn't me. I'm a happy girl with loyal friends and a loving family! I yelled in my head trying to get my emotions under control. William sighs before picking me up bridal style and I wrapped my hands around his neck burying my face in his chest. He placed me down on his soft bed before covering me up with the blanket I don't say anything just letting him take care of me. I pretended to be asleep until I heard William's soft snores behind me. Untangling from his arms I slipped out of the bed.
Pushing the main cabin door open I walyk out in only my socks feeling it wet up from the small snow flakes. My cream sweater gave me some form of warmth as I sat down on a nearby log. The air was chilly and silent only the sound of nature could be heard. No cars or people just nature. I'm not a big fan of peace but for today I wanted to appreciate it. Pushing all my thoughts aside I smiled at the sky. I could see the stars glittering in the sky. Thousands of stars lit up the sky and my grandma was one of them staring down at me. She always knew the answers when I was younger ' be yourself Elizabeth' she would say. Being a nurse was both my dream and hers. I knew I couldn't turn back at it now. Being a nurse gives me the avenue to care for people, to be able to nuture people back to health.
My eyelids began to feel heavy so I walked back into the cabin shutting the door before going to join William in the bed. He was still asleep unaware of my gaze. His green eyes were kept from me but I admired his pointed nose and his pink lips. Placing a kiss on his nose I moved down to his cheeks then both his eyebrows before laying beside him with my head on his chest. I fell asleep to the sound of his soft heart beats.
"Belle" William shakes me awake and I opened my eyes to stare at him. "I have to get to work and I don't have clothes for work here so...."he strails off. Sitting up I smiled at him before throwing my legs to the side and jumping down. "I can call a cab or Uber William get going". "No I can't do that I brought you here..." "William" I kissed him "it's fine really, go I want to sleep in". "Are you sure?" He searched my face for any sign of falsify. I nodded kissing him again. He sighs before pecking my lips once more. I watched him go before climbing back into the bed replenishing in his scent.
Once I woke up again I took a shower before calling up an Uber. It was to arrive in twenty minutes so I made a quick breakfast tidying up alittle. Slipping on my canvas and wearing my coat I walked away from the cabin through the cleared path onto the roads. The Uber arrived and I climbed in sending a quick text to the group chat. An hour later it stops me at our gate since I already paid the app I just walked off.
"Good morning" mom smiles, "morning" I murmured before walking off to my room.
