Chapter 14: Christina

I looked out of the window. I couldn’t quite believe it. It was Sunday morning and I was waiting for Brett to come and fetch me. He had said he would come by after breakfast. I was thinking of him, still amazed about what had happened and how he felt.

We had such a lovely day together the previous day – he’d left at two o’ clock, and promised to return to see me the next morning. I stared out over the city – for once, the road was quiet, only the odd car moving up the asphalt, the sound of the exhaust lost over the long distance up. Pale white clouds floated over the skyline; the sky touched with yellow. The scene was joyful, like the feeling in my heart.

“He really seems happy to be seeing me.”

I smiled to myself. It was so weird. I would never have thought someone like Brett would like me – actually, I think the point was that I hadn’t thought Brett would like anybody. He seemed so distant, so rude, if I was honest. And he’d not really spoken well to me in the past. I made a note to ask him about that.

I felt another grin wash over me. I was too happy to feel cross with him about how he had acted with me. I was too uplifted to really mind for now. I put away the dishes and went and checked what I looked like. I had chosen jeans and a coal-colored blouse in silk again – not quite black, but near enough to make my hair look brown and shiny. I had left it loose, liking the way it framed my oval face. I heard the doorbell and ran to answer.

“Hi, Christina!” Brett greeted me. I grinned and pressed the button, waiting for him to arrive.

He came upstairs and I grinned as he wrapped his arms around me. It felt safe and good to hold him and feel his strong arms tight around me. He was wearing a casual shirt and jeans and a coat and he smelled like cologne and I held him against me hard.

“Good morning,” I whispered.

He grinned. “It is now. It is a warm day, you’re right,” he added when he stepped back. “A proper summery day. But you know…we can go to the park later.” His eyes twinkled and he rested a hand on my shoulder in a way that left me no doubt as to what he meant.

I chuckled. “I also reckon it can wait. The park’s not going anywhere, and there’s something I want more.” My cheeks went bright red. Was I really saying this?”

“Me, too.”

We went to my room and made love. This time, we were slow and gentle and it felt beautiful but also natural, getting used to each other. I smiled up at him, my eyes focused on him from where I lay beside him. He was leaning on the headboard. He turned to look at me.

“I hope you know that you’re gorgeous.
