I looked back over at Blake, he was reading quietly in the corner. Surely if he was boyfriend shouldn't I feel something for him? What I felt in my dream for this red hair bloke was real and powerful. He kept using the words “Fix” and “Crave”. I was craving for that man in my dream. Now.... I was pregnant by him? Blake? Why couldn't I remember anything apart from my dreams?
“What's wrong?” Blake asked, looking up from his magazine.
“Are you sure you’re my boyfriend?” I asked my eyes moving side to side, waiting for that light to be switched on in my head.
He gave a little laugh. “Yes. Don't you remember? We met while you were working in the grand café. I came in with my friends and you split coffee all down me. Wait, I did remember that. We lived in a studio flat near the river Thames in Oxford City Centre. I tried to remember more... But nothing. Why did I still feel uneasy? Why did I have that consent feeling something was wrong? My head was beginning to hurt again. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
I made my way to my bedroom. Why was my Dad so persistent about me going to my room? I was no longer a child. I opened the door and slowly my eyes fell on to him. He was sitting on my bed and looking straight at me. My heart began to race, his perfect red hair roughed up, his blue eyes burning into me and that mouth. All the wonderful things he could do to my body with that mouth. I closed the door and stepped towards him. He stood up and made his way over to meet me.
“You’re here?” I hushed and I reached out to touch his face. It was real, he was here and I wasn't dreaming.
“Do you want me here?” He asked leaning into my touch.
“Yes” I smiled and he pulled me into him. I rested my head against his chest. He smelled intoxicating and just being in his strong arms made me safe. Then the recent events filled my mind. “I know what you did...” I began. “But I just kept hoping that after everything you still wanted and loved me.”
He pulled away and gently lifted my chin up with his finger tip. “Let me confess...” I gave a little nod. “Mrs Waterman did offer me money to hire you...” He looked away, was this going to be difficult for him?
He coughed. “I accepted her offer after the interview... I was worried I would never see you again and plus I did change the terms of the deal. At the time my business was going under and I was a very desperate man. I was foolish... I really am sorry.” He took a deep breath and looked down at me. I was taking it all in and all my attention focused on him. “I think I loved you from the first time I saw you waiting on that sofa.”
I raised an eyebrow and could feel myself blushing a little. “You think?”
He rolled his eyes and gave an amused look. “Busted!” He laughed. “I knew!”
“Where is this money now?”
“I gave it back. That's why I went to see her.” He grabbed hold of me pulling me into him. “Will you forgive, Miss Dawson?”
“I don't know” I shrugged my shoulders and my hand swept round to the back of his neck. “I think you should give me a reason...” His head lowered and our lips met. I kissed with such passionate and such force my lips began to go numb. Immediately like any other time when I was next to him that low sensual burning desire began to enlighten.
I pulled away biting down on my lip. “You’re lucky my room has a lock.......” I walked over to the door and turned the key. I spun round and his eyes were full of burning desire. I slowly pulled down each strap of my dress and allowed it to float down to the floor. Gracefully I removed my thong. I began to walk towards him and my heart was in my mouth. Once close he pulled me over and pushed me on to the bed.
He undid his trousers and allowed them to fall down to his ankles. I was naked and my body needed him to take me to the wonderful places only he could. He climbed on top of me and gazed down at me. His fingers traced along my cheek and his lips placed on to mine.
I grabbed hold of his arse and he knew exactly what I wanted. He sank his solid manhood inside me and I gave a little groan in pleasure. My fingertips began to move up and down his back, while he began to massage my sweet spot. My legs wrapped round his waist and he started slamming into me.
His quiet groans took me to that special place I only ever wanted to share with him.
“I love you Georgina” he said through gritted teeth. My mouth formed a perfect O and I began to tremble. I was in my orgasmic state.
“I love you too.”
He slammed in harder grabbing my waist finding his own sweet realise. He had to rest his head on my chest and tried to regain his breath. My fingertips began to play with his hair. I didn't want to move. There was no way this man was going to leave my side again. I was never going to let my Mr Golden Rule walk away from me.... Ever... I loved him too much.
CHAPTER 18
Maxwell
All I had fucking done for hours was wait and wait!! Debbie had finally left with Olivia. I was glad I knew exactly where she was staying. As soon as the police arrived I was sending them straight there. Maybe even with a hit man behind them. I hadn't let on about the call from Mrs Waterman and I had deleted it from the call list. I didn't want her getting away with this. I wanted her to be punished and Olivia away from her. If she could go around with guns, then she wasn't fit to bring up my daughter.
What was taking everyone so long? Surely I could stand up by now! I swung my legs over the side of the bed, placed them to the ground and slowly stood. Yes!
“What are you doing, Mr Thomas?” Snapped the nurse. I was really beginning to take a dislike to her. “You were told to rest! You haven't eaten in a while and the pain killers can make you drowsy.”
“I don't give a fuck” I yelled, climbing back on to the bed with one arm. “Have you found Georgina?” I asked.
“I can confirm she is here!”
I glared at her... What was that suppose to mean? “Well..... Is she okay?”
The nurse looked down at her feet. “Because of patient confidentiality I can't give out any information regarding your friend’s health.”
I thought my head was going to explode! Georgina wasn't just some random patient. She was my wife to be. Surely I had more right than anyone to know what was wrong with her. To think I was in the same place as my Miss Dawson and not allowed to know anything about her.
TWATS!!
Amy came running into room, panting. “I came here as soon as I could.” She tried to get her breath back. “How is she?”
I looked at the nurse. “She won't tell me anything. Even though I'm her BOYFRIEND.” I yelled at the top of my voice.
The nurse looked confused. “You’re her boyfriend?” I nodded and gave her my special smile. The nurse blanked me and looked at Amy. “It's just...” She raised an eyebrow. “There is a man with her claiming to be her boyfriend. In fact, he's been there with her the whole time.”
I and Amy looked at each other shocked. It could only be one person!
“Fucking Waterman” I exclaimed.
“What ward is she on?” Amy asked with panic in her voice. She was distressed at the thought of her boyfriend pretending to be someone else. Fucking sick cunt! Somehow I knew he was involved in this. When I had confronted him, he had blatantly lied to my face. I bet it was Debbie who took the photo! She must of sneaked back in after our little talk.
BITCH!
As for Mrs Waterman, I wouldn't have expected anything less from the twisted old hag bag!!!
“I have it written down” the nurse said. “Follow me.”
“Make sure you break his fucking legs!” I called out after them. “And call the police!” Even from a hospital bed I could still give out my orders!
CHAPTER 19
Blake
Georgina was fast asleep. I could sit and watch her all day. Maybe when she learned that it was me who had rescued her maybe she should give a second chance. Maybe even love me again? I couldn't let her go back to Maxwell. There was no way he would be able to take care of her and a baby. I didn't even care that it wasn't my baby she w
as carrying. I just knew I could to do a better job than HIM!
A pang of sadness hit me. A few months ago we had been sat around a table celebrating and I was telling everyone I couldn't wait to have kids with her. I knew it freaked her out but I didn't mind. I just never thought she would be marrying another man and having his child. Funny how things can change in a blink of an eye!
He didn't care about her. Not one person had bothered to see where she was. Once again the only person Georgina had was me. Looking back I had always been there for her. I guess you couldn't change a habit of a lifetime. No matter what, at the end of the day something always brought us back together.
“Blake!” The door swung open and Amy marched in. She folded her arms and scowled at me. Then she looked over at Georgina and shock filled her face. “Oh my god” she screamed running over to her. “Who did this to her?”
I shrugged, knowing full well the answer to that question. The guilt was beginning to eat me up. I couldn't tell anyone otherwise they would find out about my involvement. What sort of father would I be in prison?
Amy looked at me again and narrowed her eyes. I didn't want her here. I preferred me and Georgina alone. “Why have you told the staff you’re her boyfriend? Maxwell is going ballistic. They won't tell him a thing!” She shook her head. “More importantly why didn't you say she was here?”
I just stared at her. I didn't owe her an explanation. She had all night and most of the day to ring the hospital. They all did and none of them bothered. I was the one that had been holding Georgina's hand the whole way through this. She had the nerve to come in here and have a go at me.
I didn't want to share Georgina with anyone now. I wanted to be the only one she spoke to and looked at. The only one she needed, just like before. Now Amy had found us it would not be long before they took Georgina away from me. I couldn't hand her back to Maxwell now! Not again was he going to take what was rightfully mine. I had put years of hard work into my relationship with Georgina. I deserved her more than Maxwell.
“I'm sorry” I lied. “I was really worried about her. She had scans and was put in a coma. I just didn't want to leave her alone. I just thought someone would let you all know.”
I saw Amy's eyes light up and she strolled over to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. I froze, I didn't like the way she felt next to me and I didn't like her smell.
“Why did you say you were her boyfriend?” She asked pulling away.
“I didn't.... They just assumed.”
“I forgive you” she kissed my cheek but I didn't have time to move. “Does Georgina need anything?”
I thought about her question. I knew Maxwell would be here soon. I had to get Georgina out of this place, away from these people!
“Yes” I quickly replied. “She needs toiletries.”
Amy gave a big smile. “Okay, I'll go and grab them. When I get back you should go home. You need a shower, food and sleep” she gave me a concerned look and left the room.
I waited a few seconds to make sure she had gone. I ran over to Georgina, she still had the IV in her hand. I closed my eyes and after three I pulled it out. Blood spurted everywhere. I would sort it out when we were safe.
I wrapped the blanket around her and scooped her up in my arms. All I had to do was get to the lift, get to the ground floor and get to the car. It was simple! Then I, Georgina and the baby could go anywhere we wanted. Start a new life and be happy.
With Georgina in my arms I checked out the hallway. It was clear. Quickly I made my way to the life and hit the call button. It felt like I was waiting forever.
“Blake!” Screamed a voice. I looked over my shoulder and Amy was stood at the reception desk.
Had she tricked me?
The lift doors finally opened and I jumped in. I hit the ground button and prayed the doors would close. I watched Amy dash over with a nurse. My heart was beating fast. I urged the doors to close. Oh my god! This wasn't going to work...
I watched Amy get closer and finally the doors closed. I let out a breath of relief and rested up against the wall. I looked down at the beautiful woman in my arms. Thankfully, she was still fast asleep. I wondered if she was dreaming of me. I looked over at her hand, it was still pouring with blood. I had to get her to the car quickly and clean it up.
The lift pinged and the doors opened. We were finally on the ground floor. Thank god no one had joined us in the lift otherwise there wouldn't have been anyway this would have worked.
I was really close now. A few more minutes and we would be off to where ever we desired. Together like it should always be. I stepped out of the lift and no one was about. All I had to do now was get out of reception and get out into the car park. I began to run with Georgina in my arms.
“Blake!” Screamed a voice. I turned around and Amy was behind me. She was out of breath. She must have run down the stairs. I looked in front of me; a security guard and a policeman were heading directly towards me.
Fuck!
I was trapped.
Georgina slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me. “Maxwell?” My heart broke in two at the sound of her saying his name. I fell to my knees, still holding tight to my girl. I couldn't let her go, not this time. We belonged together and always would. Why didn't anyone else see it that way?
Amy knelled down next to me. “What are you doing, Blake? She is ill and needs to be here.”
“Amy?” Georgina said. She looked dazed and confused. “What is going on?”
“Nothing” Amy replied. “Everything is fine.” Her eyes looked back onto me. “Give her to the nurse. She needs her hand sorting out.”
“No!” I cried, tightening my grip of Georgina. “We are together. She belonged with me. She's not meant to be with Maxwell. He doesn't deserve her or the baby.”
“Baby?” Amy asked in shock.
I ignored her and carried on. “I love her and I am the only one who can look after her.” I looked back down at Georgina. Her sparkling blue eyes, blonde hair, rose bud lips. She looked like a tiny angel.
Georgina pulled herself up and was now sitting in my lap. It had felt like lifetime since we had been this close to each other. I took in her perfect scent. She wiped away a tear from my cheek and I fell into her soft touch. Why had everything changed? Why couldn't we just go back to way things were? I felt that pain in my chest again. I had it for weeks after Georgina had left me and my stomach was churning. I was back exactly where I was weeks ago.
“Blake” she spoke softly. “I know I did this to you.” I closed my eyes and just took in the sound of her voice. “I'm sorry I hurt you, I really never intended on doing so. I love Maxwell.”
My eyes opened wide at the mention of his name. She had regained her memory. It was game over!
“What has he got that I haven't?” I cried.
“Nothing” she replied breathlessly. “You’re a wonderful, handsome kind man.” She ran a hand through my hair. “You made me extremely happy for two whole years. I thank you for everything you did for me.”
“But....” I cut her off.
“But... I fell in love with Maxwell. You did nothing wrong and I want you to live your life and move on.”
“I blame him!” I snapped.
“You shouldn't” she gave a little chuckle. “I'm the one who cheated and I broke your heart. Everything is my fault.”
I tilted my head to the side and took in her face. She was right and I knew she was. I felt stupid! I would have never seriously got away with kidnapping her. Why had I lost my mind like that?
“I know someone who loves you very much” she looked over at Amy still sat beside me. “You would make her very happy, Blake. You deserve each other. Don't mess in up because of what I did.”
My eyes slowly moved to Amy this time. Even after my mental episode she was still by my side. I let go of Georgina and wrapped my arms around Amy. She embraced me tightly and lovingly.
“I'm sorry” I cried.
“S
SH” she whispered in my ear as my tears fell uncontrollably. “I told you I would be here no matter what.”
“Thank you” I said as I tightened my hug.
One of the security guards scooped Georgina up off the floor and sat her in a wheelchair. I never watched them take her away. Instead I stayed clung onto Amy on the hospital floor. I couldn't let go of Amy. My Amy. My girl.
Before I could move on and start living my life with her there was something I had to do. I had to and I had to do it now.
“Are you sure you should be doing this?” Amy asked as we stopped outside Maxwell’s door. I nodded; I didn’t have much choice now. This had to be done. I had to talk to him face to face. How could I move on if I hadn’t dealt with the past? I knocked on the door and didn’t wait for a reply. I looked over at him laid on the bed. One of his arms in a sling. The guilt hit me right in the chest.
He looked awful, dark circles around his eyes, his hair a mess and looked like he hadn’t shaved in days. The man before wasn’t the Maxwell Thomas I had ever seen before.
His head jolted up and he narrowed his eyes at me. “What do you want, Waterman?” he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up. “Finished playing your little game?”
“I wasn’t playing any games, Maxwell” I say weakly as he comes towards me. For a split second I think about dashing out of the room and not bothering to tell him at all. I need to do this. I step back away from him and avoid looking at him...
“Spit out, waterman. I am dying to hear your excuse.”
“Fine! Okay, yes, I planned everything. I didn’t think for one second my mother would go that far.” I suck in a deep breath, my whole body is shaking and my eyes well up. “I just wanted you out of the picture.”
“And why would that be?”
“You destroyed my life” I sigh. “Georgina was my everything and you just showed up and ripped it all apart.” I finally find the strength to make eye contact with him. “You ever had someone take away someone you love?”
