Anna & George

Anna

Our parents, George and I's, went to Scotland on Thursday and decided to bring the kids with them. So, when I got home last night after leaving in the middle of that party, I packed up and decided to stay at my lake house in Sussex. I arrive at dawn and went straight to sleep. When I woke up, I prepared some hot chocolate and went out the veranda to have my breakfast there and think of a lot of stuff.

I know George told me that we'll talk today at my parents house, but I doubt he'll be there because there's no way he can solve the issue in just one night. That engagement is a big thing and there are a lot at stake, I wouldn't be surprise if he can't break away from it that easily.

Thinking back, this situation kinds of like a deja vu and now I know how Margaret feels when she lost him to me. Karma really is a bitch.

When I decided to come back, part of me was really hoping that we could get back together, that George can forgive me and gives me a second chance. What a wishful thinking. Of course what I did was unforgivable, I mean I left him and even hid Georgina from him.

My thoughts were cut when I heard a series of knock on the front door. I put down my cup of chocolate drink and went back inside to open the door. Who could it be? My gardener comes every Monday and the only people who knew I'm here was James and Harry and I doubt they'll come here and I don't have neighbors either.  

My breath hitch when I saw who it was. The very man that was filling my thoughts is standing right before me. He look at me up and down and I wouldn't blame him for judging me since I'm only wearing an oversize shirt that clearly belongs to him and in this cold weather.

"Can I come in?" I blink at him before opening the door even wider and let him in. After he step inside, I close the door and lean against it, still looking at George, afraid he might disappear if I look away.

"How did you know I was here?" I ask a moment later.

"Your brother told me. Didn't I tell you I'll meet you at your parents house after I resolve the problem last night?" He looks at me intently.

"I-I didn't think you would take care of it this fast and after all that happened last night, I needed to have a breather, bu-but I was planning on going back in London tonight." I explained, still refusing to look away from him.

"I'm here, so what does that tell you?" He said and smile. I search his eyes and he's telling the truth. 

"So, the engagement was off?" He nodded. "What about your girlfriend? Did you break up? Is she okay? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, she's fine and we didn't break up." This made me look away. "We weren't in a relationship to begin with." He added, my head snapping back to him.

"What?" I ask dumbfounded.

"She's not my girlfriend." He replied. "How can I think of having one when I have a wife?" He said, taking a step towards me.

"But the divorce papers-"

"I threw it away." Another step closer until he's standing in front of me. I tilt my head a little to look at his face since he's taller than me.

"So, we're still married?" He nodded. "You'll have me back?" I ask, starting to cry.

"I am in love with you Anna, always am, always will. I wish I knew how to quit you, but I don't, I can't and I won't. All I wanted is for you to come back to me." He confess. I sob and hug him, my arms wrap around his shoulder tightly.

"I'm really sorry for everything George and thank you for giving me another chance." I said hugging him even more tightly. He wrapped his arms on my waist and lift me up, he walks us towards the kitchen and he place me on the small counter, still hugging.
