We were celebrating the union of Clive and Gwen. Gwen was a sweet woman, she could be bossy and very head strong but she was going to make a great leaders wife. So when I heard it would be Clive she smiled and was thrilled for her new friend. Collin had decided to sail with us and knew that he would be a good ship mate for her brother. She had figured he had forgotten who she was so she did not say much to him. Garet knew everything, and he supported her to the fullest even though she knew he would watch her like a hawk. Seeing Collin walk closer to me and baby Alex I watched as we danced. He frowned a lot and the look in his eyes was one i once knew well. He was contemplating something and my curiosity got the better of me. Walking over so only the two of them could hear each other alone I asked for his thoughts once I heard them I told him the only truth I knew. He looked as if he still loved and though he didn't understand it then I knew eventually he would. I just hoped he would find something to love more than myself. I still loved him to and for me this was hard to be this close to him. I touched his cheek and felt my hand heat up. Knowing this was dangerous waters I quickly turned and left before I allowed either of us to do or say something we didn't need to. Once I got to Garet I didn't leave his side, I knew where I belonged and that is where I wanted to stay. I could love my first from a far, I was relieved he was alive, and knew his mother would have been very happy he was coming back. I could see all he wanted was to be on the ocean his body language spoke volumes though he barely talked at all....
Three weeks later I am standing on the deck fuming. Garet is walking around the ship with our daughter and I'm is glad he is far away from me. We were fighting, and I am ready to make him walk the plank. He knew it and that's why he had our daughter safely in his arms. I glare at him as he smile at her as he walks by. How dare he be and ass, then smile like nothing happened. I heard Alex cry and saw him walk back, it was feeding time. As soon as my daughter is in her arms I turn to Garet and told him to Do what ever the f**k he wanted and stormed down stares. I was not used to having to rest as he told to do In fact I hated. I needed to be doing something not sitting. After Alex was fed and sound asleep, I threw myself into one of the old books that the former captain of the ship had left. I became fully engrossed in the book to where i did not realize Garet was kneeling in front of me. His hands gently took my book before I could say or do anything else other then glare Garet kissed me hard and passionately.
