You did not go? "
Clare shakes her head in response. Dominic sighed softly. Clare has been in the open window of the Living Room since 2 hours ago. He paid no attention to anything. Also do not wait for anyone. More foolish he did not do anything.
"I'll shop a bit. Are you alright at home alone? "Dominic scolded again.
Clare nodded her head.
"You want something? I'll bring it to you. "
This time the girl shook her head.
"Do you want me to have Wyath stay with you here?"
Clare shakes her head again.
"What if the Skyler I asked for came?"
"Mr. Wincles, I'm fine here. "Clare said without turning around. The first reply Dominic heard since 2 hours ago.
"Nice. Now I'm sure you're all right. Do I still have to worry about you for anything else? "
Clare glanced straight at Dominic. The highlight of his eyes was impressed saying "you want to ask what else?". Or maybe want to say "do I look that bad?".
Dominic grabbed a smile at Clare looking at her closely. It was as if the blonde were watching an ant route that accidentally wandered around Dominic's clothes.
"All right, all right. You're all right. Should I lock the doors and all the windows before leaving? "
Clare took a deep breath and then rested her chin on the lip of the window.
"Except for that window, I think I should shut it all down," Dominic said to himself. "I will not be long. If you need something, say it now or never. "Dominic said as he put on his coat.
"I want Derrick." Clare said quietly.
"Yes I know. You've said it hundreds of times since this morning. "Dominic replied quickly. "Any other?"
Clare did not answer. He already knew that what he wanted was impossible to fulfill. Derrick is not coming back. The man had said it before coming out of the British mainland late last season. England was a disaster for Derrick. It should be for Clare also but Clare chose to survive.
"Why do not you go back to your room and study for your exams? You will not have much time studying in winter. "Dominic's persuasion softened slightly.
Clare paused. His eyes are not directed anywhere. In front of his eyes there was only the dividing wall of the Spencer house. To be honest there is nothing to be noticed. Or at least interesting to observe. Clare lowered her head to hide her watery eyes.
"I miss Derrick." Clare complained heavily.
"No. You lost Derrick. "Dominic replied.
"I miss her!"
"Clare, you ..."
"Mr. Wincles, do not you have to shop for winter preparations? You can not walk with hazy eyes because of the dark. "Cut Clare.
Dominic did not answer. She looked at the back of the girl behind her. She pityed Clare but could not blame her either. Clare has been very calm and quiet since Derrick went to Russia. Derrick's departure was not Clare's sole excuse. He was hurt because his relationship with the Russian-blooded man had to end in an unpleasant way. It was not Clare's fault, nor Derrick's fault. Dominic knew their separation was one of the two, not one of the two.
Dominic grabbed the mantle that hung on the wall. If Dominic had not come out, Clare had never dared to shed a single teardrop. He does not want to be considered weak by crying. Clare is the most confusing girl for Dominic. His cold attitude was cooler than the late autumn weather. He was rigid, in front of Dominic, but also fragile as wood, especially when he did not realize Dominic peeked at him from the crack of the door.
"Cry or join me." Dominic said throwing a coat over Clare's head.
"May I do both?"
"No."
Clare chose to cry. With a sad cry as if his life had to end a few seconds ahead.
I hate my mother. "cetus Clare accompany Dominic checkout." because Derrick go? "" because you also, Mr. wincles. "said Clare quickly." I was working as a teaching English for newcomers foreign. but you don't need to be calling me so. Moreover you're not one of my student. "Clare not reply. there is still a man age Mathew, father Clare, standing in front of the checkout. without feels Clare shed tears were removed immediately quickly. Dominic embracing the shoulder her tried to channel little power." I hope you don't mind a while we went to Leicester square. "said Dominic while stepped forward counter. wind breezy. dusk fall down the cold capable of freeze the blood. weather forecast for this morning it looks like the wrong again. said temperature will not much of 56 degrees Fahrenheit. but the nose stiff Clare prove that the temperature is very well below it. Dominic pair the hat in the head of Clare, making the girl realized from reverie. hint smile soothing curved in the face Dominic but Clare don't want to be affected. him back turned his face in the direction of the statue of William Shakespeare increasingly didekatinya. Leicester square dusk it's not more interesting than the spring. maybe because autumn almost ends and will soon change with winter to most people prefer curled in front of fireplace all day. However, London Hippodrome always crowded with visitors. restaurant it is the most famous in Leicester. see the building, Clare bow looked at her that constantly stepped interchangeably. first Clare often been to the place with Derrick. very often." Mr. wincles, you never hurt your mother? "asked Clare suddenly break the silence of them." Yes. when he melahirkanku. "responsible Dominic. Clare stunned to hear it. both each other paused to Clare back to vote." Derrick blind. if you don't throw from home, the accident not going to happen. if the father said 'Yes' when Derrick proposed to, we will be happy at this time. and if father not snapped Derrick with a wide range of allegations of the mind Derrick will not be disturbed which makes it ... "Clare not continue his words. eyes back aqueous. as hard as any he tried to keep her tears, Dominic already see it. cold air in the end of this fall not too perceived by Clare. sense rindunya to people who loved make her warm, heating, no need to furnace fire in the lounge." I should have married to Derrick today. the promise of Derrick. he liked atmosphere at the end of the fall. "" old are you still 18, Clare. "remember Dominic slowly." what the problem? I was ready for it. "" that's why your parents ban you in touch with Derrick. asides age of you in contrast, he has not been officially divorce with his wife. and again his son ... "" he promised that he will soon divorce his wife! "cut Clare firm. Dominic interesting a deep breath and right away by mouth." so you are already doing the right thing to miss him now? "asked Dominic weight. Clare not reply. steps stalled near the statue of Charlie Chaplin. Dominic also participate stopped, suspect that girl offended by words." mother cry when I chose still here while mom back to the West Wickham. West Wickham not too far, isn't it? and again Derrick gone. what mother afraid of the actual? "said Clare like bitch." your mother alone. "said Dominic. soft. calm." I also alone. "Dominic thrilling lips to sound like singer of rap with ballot vibra to shrill tone." all right. i'm with you right now. but you also only to visit every weekend. "said Clare rectify words." since I couldn't stay at the bottom of the roof of your House. "" you can! "said Clare." you told me? "asked Dominic little wonder." No. but should so. "" you think it easy for me to survive not to do something you? Moreover, if I had to be in the roof of the same with you for so long time. "" you sucks, Mr. wincles. "snort Clare. he went to one of lawn chairs that happen to empty after a married couple leave it." you said miss on Derrick every time I came. you call Mr. wincles even if you're not one of the students asingku. you keep silent for at home. you mengacuhkanku if I don't force you to go. you made is in the position is hard to do something that should I can do. you cry men will not be shown a piece of hair on you again. even you do it in front of me all day. who should have said, 'you bitch'? "Clare not reply. he lifted his head to the Sky the dark. weather forecast stupid. according to forecast, day will bright but why black cloud clinging above there? or eyes Clare problematic because there is only Derrick are pictured in cover his eyes?
"Your place in West Wickham. Oxford only promises bad memories for you. "
Dominic's voice only sounded like the wind in Clare's ears. Clare's mind was bustling with Derrick's voice as far back as he'd remembered since their meeting two years ago. He has done many things with the 38-year-old man. Unfortunately Clare's parents who have divorced never approved of the relationship between the two beings. Even Mathew took time to come from Indonesia only to blasphe lover Clare.
Clare felt something cold touch her cheek. The snow has fallen that marker of autumn this year is really over. Clare just cried to find her favorite fall was over. He would never have had the chance to be with Derrick. There will never be a marriage with the Russian man at the end of autumn. It's useless to wait for the next fall because Derrick will never come. Clare already knew that and her cries grew more and more. He wanted to meet Derrick. Just meet. I wish I could.
"I do not want to spend my time just to miss a man who will never again fill the shadows in my eye retinas. It's your fault, Mr. Wincles. "Isaac Clare as Dominic kneels in front of her and hugs her warm.
"Forgive me."
"I do not need a word of apology from you. Derrick said sorry millions of times but he's still gone. "Clare grunted
"Just miss me from now on. I will not leave you as Derrick left you. You also do not have to wait for the fall and winter shifts. I'll keep you company for the rest of the season. "
"Are you sure?" Clare asked, wiping her tears away.
Dominic took off his embrace and stared closely at Clare's face.
"We're engaged. What are you afraid of? "
"I took off the ring."
"I'm still wearing it. That means it's been 6 months I always hold my heart every week because far apart from you. If you live in West Wickham with your mother, I'm sure I will not be too upset to endure the weekend. "
"Are you seducing me?" Clare asked though she was beginning to melt.
"No. I always miss you even if you miss another man. I know you accepted our engagement because your mother asked. But I'm engaged to you because I do. "
"You're a bitch."
"You can not escape from the house away from me. I still have legs to chase you. "Said Dominic again.
"Mr. Wincles, I say you're a bitch. "Clare cursed again.
"You have to wear our engagement ring. Make your heart just miss me by staring at the ring. That's what you want, is not it? "
Clare paused as if thinking. He glanced at Dominic's green eyes that poked softly at her. The man always tried to calm his heart. Whenever nervous, Clare wanted the eye. The shadow of his face was harmonious in Dominic's green eyes and it melted him. Only, Clare more often deny it. She is embarrassed if she is easily melted by the dimpled man.
"I'll wear it." Clare said to Dominic, smiling broadly and satisfiedly. She turned her face back to look at him.
"You will be preoccupied with longing for me from today."
"You're a bitch, Mr. Wincles. "Clare's comeback tried to hide his blushing face.
"Up to you. It's just that I feel very cold right now. I want to borrow a fireplace in your house for a while before returning to West Wickham. "
"See? You just said you will not go but now you ... "
"I'll always be back." Dominic interrupted while kissing Clare's forehead suddenly, the most polite way to keep her mouth shut.
Clare dodged her eyes in Dominic's eyes. His face flushed with embarrassment, enough to warm his almost frozen nose with the weather. Dominic confirms the cold cap on Clare's head and leads him to his feet. There was no denial as Dominic grabbed Clare's shoulder and carried her fast in the snow. They still had to walk for 10 minutes to arrive at Maddox Street, leaving Leicester Square with their first snow.
"May Skyler come soon to break my nightmare. I would not mind him waking me with a bucket of cold water. "Clare sighed as she leaned her head against Dominic's shoulder.
Dominic smiled. His arms were tight and warm, trying to make her feel calm. But on the other hand, Clare feels more than just calm and comfortable. His longing had paid off perfectly. Longing for someone who calms him when his heart is restless.
