RUFUS WANTED TO FEEL CLOSE TO COURTNEY

Pacing back and forth thinking of the dinner they shared together, she was happy and I was happy being with her. But then You my Lord already knew, that I had fallen in love with Courtney.'

Closing his eyes, knowing, 'This feeling of his love for Courtney was real, and if he did changed his mind as she had pleaded with him, today he would have never realized what it was like to taste true love.

So many things could have happen from then to now, if he didn't married Courtney, with his mom constant nagging maybe he might have given up without a fight, and who knows he might have gotten married with Valarie and never experience true love.

Because from what He had observed the few times being near to her, she believe seeing that he is a Prince on this Island, she don't need to do anything.

But a Queen has a lot of responsibility, just as what Courtney did for Carlos wedding.

Yes she may have love doing what she did, but she took control when every thing was chaotic, she thinks quickly she ensures that the entire family was happy putting aside her tiredness and feelings.

And to top it off she ensures that all the guest had eaten and every thing was in order before she left, and she was the most beautiful among the crowd.

Risha was still not arrayed as beautiful as she was. Wanting to feel close to her Rufus closed his eyes going through every little detail on how she was dress for Carlos wedding.

The baby blue dress was exquisite, and the diamond set was perfect covering the entire front of the neck. The earring was long almost touching her shoulders, and the hand band and watch were the complete set.

Making her look so outstanding among the crowd.

Her shoes was a silver shoes, she had wore it when she came to the Church to meet Tamara and that was the only thing I didn't bought for her. She dressed respectable just as any Queen should.'

When the rain began to pour, at that moment Rufus didn't care. He cherish his memories wanting to avoid the many questions on his mind.

When the butler came with an umbrella to tell him to come into the house, all Rufus was thinking at that moment was, 'He would have made the second biggest mistake, because from what Martha told him, Valarie and Tamara are not a praying soul.

But Courtney is a God fearing woman, a woman of faith, she reads her bible and prayer, and is very talented, Tamara in the other hand is completely the opposite to Courtney.

Tamara, goal was getting fast money to facilitate the fleshly desires and she was reckless.

If he had married her, he would have made the biggest mistake in his life, and by now she would have been dead.'

Coming to that realization, Rufus mumbled to himself, "Dear God, then everyone would have learnt of my marriage, and they would have all been so displeased and disappointed with my bad decision.

Lord, I now know it is You that have chosen me a woman that loves You, and I am happy to say my dad likes her a lot and my grandparents like her, so tell me Lord, was this Your plan all along?

If this was Your plan then I thank You very much, and I have no regret that she is my wife, she makes me proud but I cannot tell anyone that.

And Father, You know sometimes I am confuse because I overthink, and tries to solve my problems without burdening my family. You know I love them very much and want to make them happy.

So please if this is really Your plan, I am begging You to open Alf eyes and mind to do the right thing to get the plane in working order, so I can reach home and be there for my wife.

I know I went about this marriage in a very unseemly manner, and it is unforgivable, but I am so very sorry.

I haven't forgiven myself, so I don't expect her to forgive me? Because it was such a despicable act on my path."

Following the butler inside, he was completely drench. Going to his room he took a hot bath knowing he cannot afford to get sick.

When no news came about the plane, Rufus decided Monday morning to check the few clinics they have for physiotherapy, hoping to hear some good news.

****

Driving to the house, Monday morning Courtney thought, 'I only hope Uncle is home? Rufus, said he was going for only a day, and today is already eight days.

All the gas is finish, if only someone had shown me where the gas station was? That day, when Uncle send Rufus to full up I didn't pay much attention to see which direction he went and came.

I didn't speak to him, knowing he didn't want anyone to suspect him so I ignores him.

Now the weather is not looking good, and I need to full up all the containers and the diesel in the van.

Entering the house seeing the dog, "Oh dear, not again," but he looks at her and rests his head down. "Where is your master boy?"

When Oliver came out, "Miss Courtney, how come you are here so early?"

"Mr. Oliver, I need to get gas for the generator, but I don't know where the gas station is located."

"Have you ever driven to the plantation?"

"I only reach until the mill once."

"Okay, all you have to do is continue driving about two miles after the mill, and the service station is on your left."

"I just have one problem, Mr. Oliver, Pappie told me to get the gas, but he didn't give me any money, so can I get some to full up the tank?"

"You just go to the service station and tell them Pappie send you and whatever you need they will just add it to Pappie bill."

"But Mr. Oliver," seeing him raised his hand Courtney stop, wondering, 'What he wanted to say, or did it mean he wanted me to stop asking questions?'
