Chapter Fifteen
Authoress note: This chapter is a flashback about Bush and Penelope. And I apologize for the lack of action, but this is more romance then anything. As I was watching Horatio Hornblower: Retrobution. I noticed towards the end, Bush was skimming a book in the cell like thing he was in. I decided he was reading something naughty. And who did he get it from? Hm. This will answer your question.
Chapter Fifteen:
Flashback...
Penelope smiled. Enjoying the beauty that Kingston Jamaica had to offer. She sighed and held her closed book tightly against her her lower abdoman." Ms. Pellew." Came a familiar male voice behind her.
She turned around and faced William Bush. Who was watched closely by a couple Marines." Mr. Bush. Nice to see you up and about." She said with a smile.
" Just a bit of fresh air thats all. " He said.
" And you happen to find me out of chance." She mused with a smile.
He lowered his head with a smile and shrugged," Maybe I followed you...a little." He said. Bringing a smile out of Penelope." Whats that you're reading?" He asked. Noticing her book.
Her eyes widened. She quickly held it behind her back." nothing...what book, sir?" She asked.
" The one behind your back." He pointed out. Moving his arm and hand to get it. Quickly Penelope lifted her hand up, he again tried to get it." I just want to see..." He trailed off laughing. As Penelope struggled to keep it away from his eyes. She however tripped on her skirts and slipped. Nearly falling over. But William caught her in his arms. Were she was nearly dipped at his side.
They were quiet for a second. And stared at eachother. Through the afternoon, after he'd first met her he had nearly forgotten how pretty she was. He stared down into her eyes. Penelope felt her legs shake slightly. She had never thought that a man could be so...so...handsomely intimadating. A second passed and she was too stricken as he was by her. Neither of them noticed that her book slipped from her slender fingertips.
Until it hit the ground of course. Gently he let her stand," Here. Let me get that." William offered. And of course in her new state. She just stared as he bent down and picked up her up.
He turned it over to the cover page and dusted it off. He glanced at the title.:Karmasutra. He chuckled." You read this sort of stuff?" He asked.
Quickly Penelope shook her fantasy off and looked at him. Then her book." It's not mine. I swear it." She said quickly. Yanking it from his hands.
" Does your father know you read about the art of love making?" He asked with an amused smile.
" No. I mean it's not mine!" She stomped her feet and clentched her fists.
" You know I could take this to him. And tell him who is reading it. But I won't." He started.She smiled." Unless"
" Oh crap.Unless what? What do you want to see me naked or something?" She asked.
"Now thats moving a little fast don't you think?"He asked. Adding a slightly laugh. He liked her. She was funny,nice, beautiful, and seemed liberated. But then again she was the daughter of a powerful man.
" Well..." She started then sighed," What can I do for you Mr.Bush?" She asked in disdain. Though she hoped it was something in the affect of a kiss. She did find him undeniably handsome and charming.
He did not answer at first. Then he took her hand in his and handed her book back." If anything I want from you now is your company for a walk. Until I have to return to my cell." He said with a slight smile.
Brushing back a strand of her short hair. She smiled and spoke," Mr. Bush. I would indeed have much pleasure in walking with you this afternoon." She answered as he offered her his arm. She accepted and they began to walk together near the beach.
It was nearing evening. By the time. They reached outside the courthouse again. The setting sun was never so beautiful to William as it was when he was with Penelope.She finshed laughing at a story he was telling her. " Ms. Pellew. I was wondering if I might beable to borrow the Karmasutra?" He asked. Somewhat nervously.
Penelope paused in walking. Glanced at the courthouse then at him. Then at her book. She smiled.Slid her han along his warm cheek. And leaned up and gave him a peck. While at the same time putting the book in his hand.
"PENELOPE MARIE PELLEW!!!" Came an angered shout from the steps of the courthouse.
Penelope turned around and smiled." Father..." She said nervously. Edward Pellew decended the stairs. His eyes angerly upon Bush.
But he spoke to his daughter. While looking at Bush." I told you to be back before..."
" Forgive me, sir it was my fault." William said." I was suppose to be keeping track of the time..."
Pellew paused walking and looked at Penelope, who smiled and shrugged." I...was...making...a friend." She said and chuckled nervously.
End Flashback...
Bush smiled and looked at Penelope. A blanket had been wrapped around her after some of the crew hoisted her up onto the ship. God he loved her. Relieved she was alright.
