Ben And Meg In The Wild West
Chapter 12
The rain was poring down on the empty street. She opened the window and
breathed in the smell of fresh rain. She loved the smell, it gave a promise
about changes and freshness. She was in love and she felt freer than she
ever had in her short time on this earth. Meg wanted to stop the time and
freeze the moment.. Forever. Because she knew that the minute her father
found out about his daughter's choice in man he would come to Springfield to
collect her and bring her home. Back to Boston.
Ben stirred and turned on his back. He soon discovered that she was not in
bed with him. It was still early morning. He defeated sleep and sat up. He
spotted her by the window. She looked like an angel where she was standing.
He found his pants on the floor and pulled them on.
She felt an arm slide round her slim waist and the other around her
shoulders. She leaned her back against his hard chest and he tightened his
hold on her. She smiled and turned her head to look at him. He kissed her
softly before speaking.
" God morning beloved"
Meg smiled widened. " I think the more proper word would be God
dawn.beloved"
He kissed her again before he moved and sat down in front of her on the
shelf under the window. He pulled her between his legs and reached up and
stroked her face tenderly.
" What is wrong?" he asked.
She shook her head. " Nothing. Nothings wrong" she said.
He gave her a do you think I'm stupid? Look.
" You are right. There is something wrong" she said and left her spot. She
walked over to the fireplace and looked into the flames. For a long time she
just stood there.
When she turned back to him, she was crying. " I'm happy right now. My heart
is running wild." she stooped.
She turned to the fire again. ".but we are both fools if we think for one
moment that it´s going to last"
" It´s going to last, Meg. I promise!" he said and walked up to her.
" NO!" she raised her voice and stepped away from Ben.
" You don´t seam to understand? If my father." she started.
He took her by the shoulders and turned her to look at him.
" Your father can't touch us, Meg" he said.
Meg stared at him " If there is something my father is good at it´s ruining
things. He is the reason why I'm here and not in Boston where I belong. It´s
my home with my family and friends, but he did´t want me around. Because I'm
one big disappointment!!!"
" Meg you can't mean that." Ben started.
" It´s true!!" Meg was crying harder. " I embarrassed my father. That is not
forgivable, not were I come from. I dragged my fathers name in the dirt.he
will never call me his daughter again"
Ben walked slowly up to her and pulled her into his embraced. He couldn't
believe what he was hearing. That a father could hurt his child this mutch,
and all because of a good name. But why was he supriced? He had learned it
first hand. His father, an English baron, had been discipline and respect
him self. He had a good reputation in England and he would do anything to
keep it, even drive away his own sons from his land.
He held her away from her to look at her. " He can't hurt you anymore,
sweetheart"
" He would never accept us, Ben. It would bee over his dead body. Maybe it´s
for the best." She started.
" For the best? What, to let him win?" Ben said.
" He already has. I'm here, remember? Lucky me that mother still cared and
got me here. Father would most likely have sent me too Antarctica " she said
with anger in her voice.
" Your mother! She can help you, she can talk to your father!" he said
" She will never go against him " Meg said. " So let's just enjoy our time
together, and when." she trailed of. She took a deep breath and looked at
him.
He was hurt and confused, she could tell. Slowly she steeped into his
embrace. She kissed him, like she tried to claim him, and he her.
"We belonged together, Meg. If there is only one man and wife on this
earth.it´s us" he said and held her gaze.
Never in her whole life had she seen more love in one pair of eyes. God
knows she loved him. They held each other close, both wishing that the
moment would never end. He kissed her again and they where swept away by
their emotions. He moved one of his hands up to her hair and let the other
one find the opening in her robe. He sipped his warm hand into it and meet
her skin. He draw the robe off her shoulders and revealed her naked form.
It did not take long for the robe to find it´s way down to the floor.
A.J walked up to Meg´s bedroom door. It was still early morning but he could
have sworn he heard voices from inside. He thought at first that it was
Bette but she was still sleeping soundly in their bedroom. He put his hand
on the doorknob. He debated with him self if he should open the door. He
could embarrass the poor child, but there could also bee someone in the room
that did not belong there.
Ben pulled Meg´s naked body to him and let his hand roam her body. She moan
when he moved his kisses down her neck. She felt like all her problems had
disappeared.
A.J took a deep breath and pushed the door opened.
" Meg, child is everything." he stooped abruptly.
The couple disengaged quickly and Meg grabbed her robe from the floor to
cover her self. It was dark inside, except from the light of the fire, but
A.J could very easy see who the man was! He starred at them for a long time
before he lost it.
" Ben?!.How?..I mean..What in gods name is going on here!!!!" he screamed.
