Chapter 5 - Fleeing Captain Arrogant
Edward tasted the sweet taste of your lips and the drunkenness of his
presence without that came to his mind some logical thinking. He
wrapped his arms around her, narrowing her tightly, enjoying the unexpected
warmth of his response. His body screamed to continue. The
little lady was very tempting. His lips were very hot, your
wonderful body, move away from it was becoming a very difficult task. Devils! Finally
he made an effort and managed to separate.
– If you kiss me like that it will be
very hard to leave - muttered hoarsely.
Bella
blushed. The kiss had also been a surprise to her because he had not been
so unpleasant after all.
– And now I fear that my departure will
linger a bit - he added - because these pants are too tight.
The innocent eyes of Bella posed in his pants. Immediately
he regretted having done so. He turned, flushed, and groaned,
mortified.
Edward
laughed. He sighed to dress up and muttered gloomily:
– If I had time, miss ... if I may, is even more beautiful when you blush...
She began to stack dirty dishes on the table
angrily, hating the man behind her. He decided it was more than
obnoxious.
Edward was giving the
last touch to the collar when Bella turned to him. I could not deny that he
was very tidy, despite all the hatred she felt for him. Its pristine and
well-chosen clothes were up to the dictates of fashion, and sat to perfection,
setting splendidly his height and burly physique. The pants were so well
made that clung to the skin, concealing very little outstanding virility.
It is so attractive that surely women fight for
him, he thought bitterly.
Edward quietly approached her and kissed her.
– I'll be back soon, dear - he said with a smile. Bella wanted
to scream, but bit his tongue. I saw him from sure of himself, and
as soon as he heard the sound of the door closing, grabbed the dishes that had
piled moments before on the table and threw them on the floor with rage.
Bella knew that Edward returned before she had
fled, their opportunities to do so would diminish greatly. He tried
to think of the best way to bribe George and asked if he could get it with
money. But I could use instead of this good so scarce for her? The
beige dress was the only thing of value he owned, and thought it would be
enough to convince created. Then he thought of the man who had used
his body and the idea faded. The waiter was very loyal to this
blatant smug or have much afraid of him to risk his life for a bribe. No,
that would not work. I had to think of something better.
He began to look for something that would serve to
persuade the man to deliver the cabin keys. He opened all the desk
drawers, searching desperately through the papers and books. The
only thing he found was a bag of coins. Exhausted, he sat in the
chair behind the desk, and watched with his eyes every corner, every cache box.
There has to be a weapon, he decided biting his
lips contradicted because the weather was not in their favor. He
looked at the cupboard, got up from the chair to his feet and crossed the room
to open the doors. He tried desperately between the hanging
clothes, but once again found nothing. Extracted the cabinet
contents crying disconsolate, until he discovered on the floor of the tiny
compartment a box wrapped in a cloth.
Will be her jewelry, she thought annoyed while
grabbing.
He opened the box. She was not
interested in jewelry, if that was what it contained, but the container itself
attracted their attention, Bella gasped and thanked God his luck, there, on a
red velvet couch, rested two beautifully crafted French design guns. I
knew very little of firearms, but his father had had a collection of these. Examined
the pistols unable to understand its operation. His father had
taught him. He knew he should pull back the bolt to ride it, but
bears it was for her a complete mystery. He cursed his ignorance
quietly and closed the lid, trying to think of another way to face George. She
opened the box, took a heavy pistols and examined. George would not
know that she had no idea how to use it, she could try to deceive him and scare
him enough to give him the key to the door.
Gathered the necessary courage and went to the
table with a smile. He sat in his chair, took paper and pencil and
began to scribble a note addressed to the captain. Need money, but
would not allow the accused to sell your body to get it. Take a
cash grant from the pound that he had found a moment before and leave her beige
dress in return. It was a deal more than acceptable.
He folded the note and placed on the dress. After
carefully hid one of the pistols in maps and papers.
When George returned with the tea, which had asked
as she picked up the broken dishes from the ground, you could use it easily. The
set proved eager to please her, despite the great disorder that had caused the
cabin, and had said it would take a few minutes to bring tea for should ask a
man to do it.
It had worked perfectly, because during his absence
could scour the cabin. Put everything in order so that the created
not suspected had discovered.Then he sat down and began to read a book he had
found on his desk. It was the least I could do; He had
promised that. Demonstrate the Birmingham captain who was not the
kind of person that could hold against their will. He began to
laugh to imagine the wrath that would fall on George, for whom she no longer
felt that hatred. After all, he was responsible for that had fallen
out of favor. The reward was more than fair, he thought.
Hamlet resulted not be very reassuring to their already
twitching nerves. Restless by late George, the book away and was
walking up and down the cabin. After a few minutes, he forced
himself to resume play until finally, George did turn the key in the lock and
knocked. Bella dropped the book and was very nervous feet, then
returned to his seat and asked to enter. The servant came in with
the tea and turned to close the door.
– I brought the tea, Miss - announced. - It's good and it's
hot. - He smiled and headed for her.
This was his opportunity. Bella raised
the pistol.
– Do not move or I'll have George to shoot him - threatened him. Her
voice sounded very strange.
George looked up the tray and met the imposing gun
pointing at you. I did not believe that a gun in the hands of a
woman were something to be taken as a joke. They were unable to
understand the real danger was a weapon. George paled.
– Leave the keys on the table, please, George, and carefully - ordered the
young. She watched him while he obeyed, supporting her trembling
legs against the table to keep from falling. - Now, very carefully,
goes to the window seat - he said without taking his eyes from above.
George crossed the cabin slowly. I
knew to be cautious if circumstances demand it. When he reached the front
window, Bella let out a long sigh.
– Sit down, please - indicated feeling recovered a little confidence. He
approached the table, grabbed the keys and, without taking his eyes off the
set, kicked to the door. He sought the lock without turning,
introduced the key and turned it. Immediately after this, the
feeling of being in prison disappeared. - Please closet, George -
ordered. - And do not try anything because I'm very nervous and the
gun can shoot.
George gave up the idea of jumping on it. It
was true, was very nervous; It costs him keep her pistol and
constantly bit his lip. He was sure that if he tried to stop her
shoot. He wondered what would be worse: the wrath of his master or
a pistol shot. Did you know that the wrath of man could reach
unsuspected limits if provoked. I was with him long ago. I
had great affection and admired but also sometimes feared. He
doubted that his captain would kill him, and the gun could easily send him to
his grave if he tried to snatch her from frightened young. Finally,
he walked to the closet, entered the small space and closed the door behind
him.
Bella walked over to the closet door to ensure that
it was well done. This had no lock on the inside, so it would have
enough time to escape before George could give the alarm voice. He
went to the desk and opened the drawer where he had found the bag with money. He
grabbed a pound and laid the gun discharged on the table.
It was not long in coming to the door. He
opened it without haste. There was no one on the stairs leading to
the cabin, so he went to the door that was in the background. I had
not thought the way out to the deck and at the entreabri it, he realized that
his escape was impossible. There were many people on board and knew
not pass unnoticed. Several very well-dressed men went to and fro,
busy. Bella surmised that they were traders who inspected the load.
What would happen if he tried to leave the ship ?,
he wondered. Only the captain and a couple of men knew that she was
on board. Those men did not know her. Why not be brave
for once? Simply walk outside to mingle with them, she told
herself.
The thought harbored a new hope. He
opened the door, this time without doubting for a moment. Her heart
was beating so hard it threatened to crack his chest. He moved
through the crowd with the very air of a queen, forcing a smile. With
head held high, he responded to men who stared open-mouthed.These gave back the
smile and warned others to look to turn into it. Suddenly, silence
reigned on the vessel. All men watched in awe without either did
nothing to hold it. When the wind slightly lifted her skirts, all
admired her pretty ankles and her delicate and small feet. A
middle-aged man, tall, dark complexion, white hair and goatee offered his hand. She
accepted it with a sweet smile. To get away from him to get off the
runway, he felt that devoured her with his eyes.Before reaching the end of the
ramp, turned to dedicate her one last smile. This politely returned
with a bow, hat chest.
Bella knew she was flirting with him, but he knew
the captain would know the details and wanted infuriates him. I had
been smarter than him! Coming down the ramp, there were many
gentlemen who were waiting to see it. They swarmed around her with
the intention of extending his hand.
Bella chose the most attractive and laid her hand
on his and asked him politely that it was seeking a carriage; at
his amazement, the man immediately followed leaving everything on the floor. After
a few minutes, he returned offering to escort her. She declined the
offer politely and very reluctantly, the man held out his hand to help her into
the carriage that awaited. She thanked her politely kindness. He
asked her where she lived, but she remained silent in the face of that man
heaved a sigh, he released her hand and closed the door. Once on
the road, Bella smiled at him again, but when he saw that he had interpreted
the smile as an invitation to follow him, and was already about to put to run
after her, shook her head no signal.
As the carriage turned the corner, Bella shifted in
his seat and smiled. He felt desires to return to laugh, partly
hysterical, but also relief. Relaxed, he closed his eyes and then
opened them to reach the garages on the outskirts of London. Ali
rushed to book a seat in the car that would take her back to Victoria aunt's
house, where he thought would never return and where forget that Captain owner
of beautiful green eyes...
