His Precious Pearl

Chapter 17

"Emmett and the boys are comming back !" Alice screamed from the hallway. What did i just hear ? Jack is comming back ?! Amelia thought excitedly. 3 weeks without Jack was a pretty long time of lonliness ! She felt as if she waited for 3 years !

She quickly got dressed and ran downstairs. She saw a few of the boys.  Great ! They are here !! Amelia went outside. She was seaching for Jack. Hmmm strange, he was not there. Some put a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Emmett. "Amelia !! soo great to see you again !" he hugged her. "Great to see you too Emmett. Where is Jack ?" she asked.

"Jack ? i thought he was here already !" Emmett Answered with a puzzeled expression. Amelia looked at him with a questioning look. Goodness where is he ? She searched for him but he was not there. She went upstairs to see whether he was in his room but in vain. She went back to her room. This was odd. Very odd. Someone Knocked the door.

Is it Jack ? Goodness if it was him she would be very relieved. She opened the door to see Jack. A bruised Jack. He had a cut near his eyebrow and a black eye. But it was there. "Jack ! It is soo good to see you but, What in the name of Earth Happened to you ???" She asked. "I just slipped and fell. No Biggy." Jack smiled. Hmmmmmm is he telling the truth ?

Amelia Hugged him and kissed his cut. "Pray that it willl be gone soon." She whispered. Jack was delighted to have Amelia in his hands. 3 weeks of no Amelia was dreadfull. She gently kissed him, as if she didnt see him for a decade. Jack closed his eyes feeling the same way, wishing this momment will never end.

Amelia finally pulled back to catch  a breath. "Jack, you dont know how much i missed you." She whispered breathless. "But please tell me the truth. Did you really Fall ? because the jack i know isnt that clumsy." She asked. If you fall you wouldnt get soooo bruised.  "Well he just got clumsy." Jack snickered.

"Really ?" She asked him with eyes that said ' you cant hide a lie from me'. "Look i fell down and hit my self on the edge of a table. Can we leave it at that?" Jack replied nearly yelling at her. What's wrong with him ? He just flipped out on her ! "Jack iam sorry if it made you uppset." Amelia replied

At that momment Jack wanted to slap himself. He just yelled at the girl he loved for no reason.  He knew she was sensitive. He simply must apologize to her. She was about to turn but he caught her hand "Amelia iam so sorry." he said. "If it helps i met someone who made this very hard. I just didnt want to talk about it. Nowadays iam getiing ill tempered sadly." He continued.

Amelia looked at his apologetic blue eyes. "What did he do to you."  She said sadly touching his blackeye. "Am i forgiven ?" He asked. "Yes" she smiled hugging him he covered her with his muscular hands. He let go of what happened and held her gently but firmly. As if he never wanted to let her go.
