I Will Wait – Episode 26

_26_

Cornelius and Yolanta were comfortably sitting opposite each other that they did not notice how people were staring at them, they looked perfect together and if one didn’t know any better they would think they were a happy couple when in actual sense they were far from it.

Cornelius was still trying to process the fact that the woman he had spent years with and had wanted to tie his life to had cheated on him with his brother and none of them were remorseful, as if that wasn’t enough she was pregnant and he was trying so hard to restrain himself from asking her who was responsible afraid that he might be the potential uncle.

Yolanta on the other hand was just glad that she could talk to someone in this trying moment, she was anxious to see her dad well but then again she was still hurt that her family had kept this from her but that wasn’t the time and the place to talk about it. Thoughts of her sister were buried deep at the back of her mind, she didn’t want to think about it because somehow she knew that it was never her fault to fall for her ex. But then again she had questions, she wanted to know how long this had been going on, she wanted to know how much she felt for him. But how was she going to do that if she had managed to push the little girl away? Her

mother on the other hand needed her mother than ever, she was broken and scared of what the outcome would be.

Yolanta was the eldest and her responsibility now was greater than it had ever been, she was at the point of figuring out herself now she felt she had a greater role to play in her siblings’ lives.

Quonnie stood on the other side of the cafeteria starring at the beautiful lady her child had turned into, she was a jewel and she noticed how every man looked at her. She had done some research on her but now she was wondering why she was with the man she was with because from her Facebook profile her boyfriend was someone else. ‘Maybe she took after me,’ she thought to herself. But then again Michael was a great man and that was one of the reasons she had left the little girl behind. Recommend you to read more interesting and erotic stories from www.generalloaded.com.

‘I do hope hubby survives this, it will kill her.’ Michael’s wife said ‘She is a strong girl.’ Quonnie responded

‘You know nothing about Yolanta, if you did you would have never left.’ She told her

‘That is why I am here.’

‘I am a mother and I would never want to take your place, I never actually tried to. Because to my daughter you never existed.’ An emotional wife said leaving the dying woman alone

From the corner of his eye Cornelius noticed what was happening, he saw the two ladies talking and somehow he did not want Yolanta to see them. He remembered how he had cornered her in South Africa, accusing her of being selfish because she never mentioned her biological mother but now he felt he had to protect her.

‘Let us go.’ He told her making sure she didn’t come face to face with the woman ‘We need to go and check up on mum.’ She said softly ‘Let us take a walk then come back.’

They walked hand in hand moving away from the wards, he led her to Chainama blocks where they talked about absolutely nothing. He wanted to use this time to ask her about her biological mother.

‘Yolanta’ he began,

‘Yes.’ She responded hitting the few stones on the pavement with her foot ‘Tell me about your mother, your biological mother.’

She kept quiet not knowing if she was ready to talk about it.

‘She left me when I was a day old.’

They both kept quiet, he was trying to find the right words to use while she was looking back at all the times she celebrated her birthdays and wished she was there.

The lonely nights when her father wasn’t around, the pain she felt when her friends were picked by their mothers.

‘For some reason dad never lied about it, maybe that is what made me more attached to him.’

‘At what point did he tell you the truth?’

‘I was seven, I was upset that he never talked about her. I was furious that he had to be at every parent event when my friend’s brought their mothers. Not that I didn’t appreciate that but I wanted a woman I could talk to.’ She said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes

‘Your mother left me for another man, you are the only woman in my life.’ Cornelius looked at her with shock

‘The exact words he told me.’

‘That was harsh, for your age.’

‘It was, it haunted me for years but it also helped me grow. I used my writing skills as a way to express myself, I remember I wrote dad a letter at ten telling him about all my darkest secrets. Everything that went through my mind, since that time it was us against the world.’

He held her hand, that was the only thing he could do at the time.

‘I am sorry that you had to go through all that.’

‘It’s all good, it helped me grow. Shaped me into the person I am, but how I ended up with your messed up brother is still a mystery.’

They both laughed after that.

‘I am sure you two had your moments.’ He told her

‘We did, it was great while it lasted. We both have our faults.’ He stood in front of her and tilted her head high with her chin. ‘Allow me to love you.’

‘This is not the time Cornelius, You know nothing about me.’

‘We have our lives ahead of us, if we know what we want then we can know each other.’

‘I am scared, the last time I allowed a man close he hurt me.’

‘Not everything is going to work out but how will you know what will last when you don’t open up?’

She tried to look down but he pulled her close, brushing his lips softly against hers. Then deepened it by searching for her tongue with his. The morning breeze hit them, pushing them closer into each other’s arms.

For a moment she forgot the problems she had, for a moment she wanted to be in his muscular arms for forever.

He on the other hand wanted to feel this way, he wanted a woman who showed him that she also wanted him as much as he did her. And he had no doubt she was that woman.
