Finding My Husband's Heart

Chapter 17: I see her

Keith's POV

The warm water rushed all over me, making me feel calm and alive. I kept thinking about her, will she say 'ok' to meet? What will she say? How will she react when she sees me?

'I have to call her', I thought.

I got out, wrapped the towel around me and wiped the mist that was clouding the mirror.

'You can do this, Keith', I told myself.

I put on a white polo shirt and blue jeans, I ruffled my wet hair. Hmmm...yeah. She liked it when it looked messy. I grabbed my phone from the coffee table, dialled her number and waited until she picked the phone. Please pick up... I'm here... Close to you... and she did.

'Hello', came her sweet voice.

My heart stopped for a second. The last time I heard it, it was sad, desperate. Now she sounded calm.

'Hey', I replied.

'Keith?' 'How are you?'

'I'm fine. I'm here Jessy, in London and I came to see you'

'Oh. Sure. I'll meet you at the Hyde Park gardens at eleven?'

'Great. Bye.'

'Bye, Keith.'

I hung up and swiftly looked at my watch. Shit! It was 10:30 already. I had to be there before her. I left the breakfast on the table, abandoned and rushed downstairs. My car was waiting for me...good. I nodded at the driver and I slid into the back seat. Wait, I had to get her something. Flowers! She loved lilies!

I instructed the driver to stop at any floral shop on the way. We didn't see any... He pulled up right outside the gardens, I spotted a small cart of flowers and a man behind it. I got out and walked straight to him and bought a bouquet of lilies with some lavender in too. I ran inside, afraid that she might be there before me. I looked around for a second... She wasn't there yet. Oh, thank God.

I sat on a bench from where I could see the entrance. I kept glancing at my watch. Five minutes to eleven. Tick tock tick tock tick tock... And there she was... her car stopped right behind mine. She was big...she was pregnant.
