Forever It Could Be (Book 2, Being Edited)

Chapter 10

When we finally got into the taxi from Heathrow airport, I was happy just to sink back into the warmth of Rheese's embrace. Looking at my mom sitting next to me, she looked tired from the long flight just like me.
I couldn't wait to get to Rheese's house and just relax.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"I'll be fine. I just need a warm cup of tea."
My mom always solved every problem with a cup of tea.
"It won't be long Lillian. Then you can put your feet up and I'll make you that cuppa tea."
Rheese was good at putting my mom at ease and I loved him for that.

I must have fallen asleep when I heard Rheese whisper in my ear.
"Babe, we home." He kissed me on my nose as I moaned softly at him for interrupting my slumber.

As I got out with my mom and Rheese already next to me, my breath was taken away at how beautiful his house was. I was expecting an old British style house but instead a luxurious house that looked like it was build recently stood infront of me.
"Rheese...it...it's beautiful," I gasped at the sight of the masterpiece.
Pulling me into his arms, he kissed me again.
"I'm glad you like it."

Seeing the expression on Liz's face was priceless. I was glad that I could still surprise her cause I was planning on doing it for the rest of our lives.
Her innocence still intrigued me. She stood with big brown eyes looking what was before her.
"Ladies, come. Lets get inside." I took the house keys out of my pocket and opened the front door, beckoning them to step through the entrance.
As Liz walked in I could see her taking in her new surroundings. Her head going from left to right. Eyes all over the place.
"Next time you'll be in my arms when we step over this threshold," I said, coming from behind her as I spoke into her ear. I was hoping Lillian didn't hear that but she did and gave me a look of, ' first marry my daughter.'

It wasn't night time yet and the weather wasn't that bad outside. There was still an hour or so of daytime left.
The last I was home it was snowing, now the sky had some clouds and the sun made a slight appearance.

I showed Lillian to her bedroom on the ground floor, so she didn't have to climb the stairs because of her hip, but I also had other motives for having her down here.
I wanted my baby next to me in bed.
"Make yourself comfortable Lillian. I'm just gonna show Liz her room. I'll call when the tea is ready," I said, smiling at her.
"Thank you Rheese. You have a lovely home."
I was glad Lillian was feeling at home.
When I got to the kitchen Liz was standing staring out onto the river. I came from behind and snaked my hands around her waist, kissing the nape of her neck.
"Hi baby. Come let me take you to our bedroom." I moved my hands to her breasts and cupped it, giving it a gentle massage.
""Rheese!" she cried out, trying to protest but I turned her around to face me and found her lips, quieting her protest.
Liz tasted good and I went hard just by kissing her. If her mom wasn't near I would've taken her right here and now.
"Hey, blue eyes. Take it easy. Let's take our bags upstairs and did you forget you suppose to make some tea for my mom."

We walked up the stairs and he opened the door for me to walk through. His bedroom took my breath away. There was a king size bed standing on a dais, surrounded by glass, overlooking the river Thames and the beautiful landscape.
I stood in silence just for awhile admiring the view.
Looking at the bed I suddenly felt tired and went to sit down on it, feeling the soft fabric of the throw under my hands.
As I sat down, Rheese was at my side.
"Liz, are you okay? You look a little pale." giving her a weary look.
"Why don't you lay down and I'll see to your mom," giving Liz a kiss and at that moment my cell started ringing but he didn't attempt to answer it.
"I'm fine, Rheese. Take the call."
"Okay, but lay down. That's an order," I said, kissing her once more before I left the room and answering the call.

"Rheese? Why haven't you call yet," my mom's said.
"We just got in from the airport mom. I was just settling Liz and her mom in. How's dad?"
My mom went in to tell me about what's been happening at home and gave me some news on Gerry. She invited Liz and her mom for lunch the next day and promise her that I'll bring them over. By the time I was finish with the call, the tea was done.
Lillian was resting when I took her her tea.
"Aahh, thank you Rheese." She took a sip of her tea and then enquired where Liz was.
"Liz is laying down. I think it could be jetlag."
I excused myself and went back upstairs, switching on the lights as I went along, taking a cup of tea with me for Liz.
