Chapter Thirty Four
I know me and Gale had already set everything for the wedding, mother Pauline said she would be able to get a beautiful dress for me and am glad I have her.
Maggie and Jennifer offered to cook and prepare the most beautiful party for us, I knew they could manage cause I didn't have that many people to invite.
I had also sent a card to Kenneth, I was really suspicious of him but because we have the same blood in our veins I was so willing to forget all that he did and try to make things right.
In this state of my life I was so willing to move on with the people I love, my new life that is about to start soon I wanted to be free from my past pains.
I knew that would be hard cause not all my enemies have disappeared but how is that going to stop me when my new family is bigger than my enemies and troubles.
I stood up from my bed still in thought and moved towards the balcony doors, for once I just wanted to forget everything and only love my Gale and our unborn baby.
I realised that spending so much time in this room was really starting to get to me and it was so hard to control my thoughts, I know the doctor asked me not to stress but knowing that I can't work yet was making me worry and stress about Rebecca.
Ever since my job was secured she never said anything though I tried to picture her reaction, it can't be easily forgotten that I know her more that anyone.
If Sarah heard about our wedding that means that Rebecca knows and if am not mistaken she will do anything to get what she wants and am sure she's now really planning something but what is it.
Though my purpose for inviting Kenneth was to get close to my brother but I also know that he has information on Rebecca's plans and I have to get closer to him once again so I could find out what she's going to do next.
I may not be wrong to think that Rebecca was behind of my sudden attack, what if I say she can't try doing that to me when she did.
I was friends with Rebecca for long time not knowing she's a frenemy, she may have not liked me from the beginning and here I was thinking of her as the closest person to me.
And for Mr. Rogers, am not sure nor did I dare to ask what he and Sarah talked about when I left the hospital. Had she contacted Gale yet and will she be around on our wedding day if so then she's really materialistic.
When I heard nothing it was really hard for her to agree that I marry her son and now that am Rogers Sarah sees my worth, now that's really weird but I don't mind as long as her relationship with Gale is restored.
The breeze blew my way and I immediately was pulled out of my crazy thoughts, I lifted my eyes back to the amazing city.
The sun was about to set, beautiful colors covering the skies and some how easing my mind, I held on the balcony and kept staring with a smile, there's a way the skyscrapers illuminated this light and it made the city so beautiful.
Out of habit my hand moved to my stomach and I sighed, I hope my child will be happy on earth. Am not going to allow anything to happen and neither will I ever allow he/she to cry.
I hope it's a she, maybe she will have the same eyes as her father and that charming smile that I can never get out of my memory.
I really want a female version of my Gale, she will be calm and beautiful.
I was pulled out of my silly thoughts when two arms wrapped around me from behind, I didn't notice when he had come back in room but now he was here. His cologne tickled my nostrils, he placed his head on my shoulder and his hot breath fanning the skin of my neck making a shiver rush down my spine.
Silence surrounded us as we watched the sun set though I felt like something bad had happened, I know Gale hadn't said that much but my hunch told me so.
"Do you remember the first time we met " suddenly he whispered, I turned around in his arms and now I was facing him completely.
"Yeah, in an alley but come to think of it I never asked what you were doing in that alley at that time " I replied throwing my arms around his neck.
Gale looked down at me then smiled, some how the darkness's looming in the air around us disappeared " you also never told me where you were coming from that night "
I smiled when I remembered the strip club and then he was right there holding me in alley.
"I started loving you from that night, when I went back to the hostels you were the only person on my mind. The next I waited by the university gates for a girl with beautiful green eyes and there she was running in to me " Gale added and I laughed.
"You don't know how angry I was that day, what if that car had ran me over ?"
His smile bloomed and I smiled back at him, his grip around my waist tightened and he pulled me so close.
"Every time you looked at me with those magnetic eyes of yours and whenever you pink lips parted I felt like it was hard to stand, my heart would drum in my chest wildly but I couldn't speak up.
Every time I tried you would look at me with anger in your eyes " The butterflies in my stomach had grown bigger because of Gale's words.
" I also don't understand why I used to act like that, but that day at the hospital when you asked if you could kiss me I knew that it's hard to let you go" I whispered softly, Gale lowered his forehead to mine.
My eyes fell shut and I bit on my bottom lip " Am in love with you Amelia Rose, am crazy about you baby " he whispered softly, his words tugging strings at my heart.
I was also crazy for him and am desperate for him to know, my lips parted and the words at the tip of my tongue but before I could say them his lips landed on mine in a soft feathery kiss.
"If am to die now I would be happy that at least God gave me a chance to love you, to know you Mel. You're my greatest achievement in life, your love is my lifetime treasure "
Hearing his words I felt so special, my eyes flew open and locked with his brown orbs that were looking at me like am the best world for him.
I don't regret being with a man like him neither will I ever give my heart to someone else in all this life time.
I stepped on my tip toes and kissed him softly on the lips, his sweet taste taking over my senses. I slowly pulled away then looked up at him.
" I can't believe that am getting married to you " I giggled softly, my arms around his neck tightening.
Looking at those smiling brown eyes that were smiling down at me I didn't know what to say next, I wish I had a talent to make up a few more words just for him.
"You're so beautiful " he spoke again after a while and I blushed, well today has more compliments than I had expected.
"Thank you " I whispered softly, warmth filling my heart making me feel so loved. The first day I told Gale how much I loved him in that parking lot I was so scared, though I acted strong while trying to give it my whole I thought it would end soon.
I wondered what would happen if we don't last, how would I be able to cope with the pain but in all this Gale didn't disappoint me. He fought for us since day one making me realise not every will be as it is.
He made realise that I had judged him too soon and now am contented, just like he had said If am to ever die I would be happy that at least I had a chance to meet such a wonderful man and get married to him.
This life didn't start well for me but maybe what mother Pauline always said is true, God never fails nor forget.
I snorted, of course God never forgets and that's why am suffering so much. Am calling him and he is not answering me right now.
My screams are hitting walls and coming back to me, my pain is driving me mad.
I want Gale, at least let me see him once again. Let me see my light in this darkness, allow me to hear his voice again and hold him.
I care less about the endless darkness around me, emotions whirled around me like an endless pit. With my knees to my chest I could never bother with anything around me, except him.
I don't even understand what this darkness means, was I here because am dead but if that's the case then what's the meaning of Gale disappearing and appearing if we're both dead souls.
