Esmeralda's POV
The next morning, Andrew wanted us to go somewhere with him. He says it's my surprise and won't tell me what it is. He makes me so mad.
My first plan didn't work. Now I have to create a new plan to get away, before the wedding. Even if I have to get Andrew drunk as a skunk then make a run for it again. I wonder if Andrew would stop drinking, when we are married. Come to think of it, I can't seen Andrew take a sip of alcohol since the night I came back from running away, he hasn't left my side. I wonder if he thinks I'm going to run away again. Hell even if I have to run away on our wedding day, I will. Just to get away from him. I can't stand even being near him. I can even see my family. I want to see them, especially now since my brother is getting worse and worse. God help me I will get away from him. Sooner or later, I will.
He's sitting next to me in the jaunting car, and he's all smiles. Every time he looks at me I roll my eyes at him. All I want to do is smack his smile right off his face. I don't want to marry him. I just want to see my family.
Andrew's POV
I know Esmeralda is in a grumpy mood. I know she would be after everything that has happened. It was to be expected. I know Esmeralda will change her attitude, when she realizes where we are going. So she can be all grumpy she wants with me.
***
Two hour later just before we got to the campsite, I told Esmeralda to close her eyes. She rolled her eyes again and closed her eyes. The driver stopped the jaunting car, then I stepped helped Esmeralda out of the jaunting car.
"Keep them closed."
"Whatever okay."I covered Esmeralda's eyes with my hands. I can't want to see her face light up. She's beautiful when she smiles. I want to see her smile. I know she's have been wanting to see her family.
"Open them."
The expression on her face changed in a matter of a few minutes seconds. She ran straight to her friends and family. She hugged everyone in the community. I guess she got a little over excited. Everyone stared at Esmeralda and myself. I've never seen anything like this before. Anything like her gypsy community. It does make me uncomfortable that everyone is staring at us. I adjusted my overcoat, stand up tall, and smiled.
I walked over to Esmeralda's friends and family. Esmeralda pulled me over to her and started to introduced me to everyone in the community. Many names and faces, trying to shake everyone's hands. One older woman with a few golden bracelets, asked me if I wanted my palms read. A few older gentlemen asked me if I wanted to see who's the strongest. I laughed it off and told them I need to meet Esmeralda's parents. Concan, Riley and Caitriona came to hug Esmeralda and to shake my hand. I couldn't help but smirk in Riley's face. I have Esmeralda, he can't take her away from me. Riley can't take her away from me because I have the most beautiful women in the world.
"Esmeralda! I missed you, I haven't seen you in forever! I have so much to tell you."
"I miss you too Caitriona, tell me what?"
"Riley and I are getting married next month."Esmeralda's expression on her face went too happy to no emotion at all. She was not expecting to hear that, especially coming from her childhood friend. She just looked at Caitriona, you could feel the tension in the air. You could cut it with a butter knife. Now I definitely know Riley, isn't going to take Esmeralda away from me. Now he has his own woman now.
