Jane

Chapter Twelve

   I was now back home in England. My Aunt Bea was thrilled I was back. Soon I would be back to teaching my kids art. All I could do for comfort was to draw my Tarzan. I broke things off with Clayton. But he was still wanting to marry me.

He said he was not going to give up on me. But I did not want him. I was trying to be friends with him. There was only one man for me. Tarzan was it. I would rather be alone in my world.

We had Tarzan's grandfather come over. I was so thrilled to meet him. He brought over photos of Tarzan's family. This grandfather was Tarzan's father's father! He told me so many interesting stories. I could not get enough of them. I told him all about meeting Tarzan.

"I still cannot get over John's name being Tarzan. He was named after me" chuckles his grandfather. He had Tarzan's handsome eyes. I could see Tarzan in him. It made me miss Tarzan so very much.

"I am sorry I could not get Tarzan to leave his home. It has been the only one he has ever known" I explain as I pour his grandfather a cup of tea.

"I see. I can understand why. Maybe I should go see him" remarks his grandfather with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Maybe" I giggle.

"Thank you all for having me over. I am so thrilled you found, John....I mean Tarzan" replies his grandfather.

"Jane? Miss? There is a strange man at the front door. He will not tell me his name" our maid calls out suddenly.

"A man? Is it Clayton?" I groan.

"No it is not Clayton...I know who he is" she grumbles. "This man is asking to speak to you"

"I will be right there" I reply. She nods before leaving the room.

"Please excuse me. Father will keep you company until I return" I tell his grandfather. He nods.

I head out to see who was here to see us. I go make my way to the front door. I gasp. There he stood. Not like an ape. Like a human. He was dressed from head to toe in human clothing. He looked so dashing to.

"Jane" he whispers softly.

"Tarzan?" I squeak out at last.

Happy tears come to me. He nods. He makes his way over to me. I run to his arms. I hold him close. "When? How? How did you get here?"

"Come see Jane"

"Oh this is wonderful!" I gasp.

"Jane letter?" he questions as he pulls out the letter from his pocket. The one I wrote to him.

"Did you read it?" I whisper. He nods. He kisses me. I return each kiss.

"I love Jane" he mentions between kisses. My heart soars with joy.

"You did read it!" I laugh. He was so smart. He twirls me around in his arms.

"First love Jane" he replies.

"Oh Tarzan..." I sigh happily.

"John?" he asks me.

"That is your name here" I tell him.

"I love you" I reply.

He holds me so close I feel my ribs crushing. I laugh as I hug him.

"I love you Tarzan" I promise.

He kisses me again.

"Jane dear? Who is here?" father wonders as he joins us.

"Father look..."

"Tarzan?" laughs my father. Tarzan hugs my father hello. "You clean up real nice here lad"

"Doesn't he though?" I gush with joy.

Tarzan came all here for me. To see me.

Joy surges inside of me.

"Tarzan your grandfather is here. Would you like to meet him?" I ask Tarzan.

He nods. I take him by the arm and lead him to where his grandfather was sitting at. His grandfather looks over to us. Tarzan and he lock eyes. His grandfather had tears come in his eyes. He stands up. Then makes his way over to us.

"I know those eyes anywhere. He looks like my boy. My boy I lost so long ago. John? I am sorry Tarzan?" his grandfather asks softly. Tarzan nods. Tears come to me for them both.

Tarzan hugs his grandfather welcoming him warmly.

"What a happy day this is!" hoots my father with joy. Tarzan hugs us all in a group hug.

"He made his way to us" I say happily as Tarzan smiles at me.

"This calls for a celebration" my father announces.

"It does?" I giggle as we pull away. Tarzan comes to my side. He hugs me.

"Yes Jane dear it does. We will have a feast in honor of Tarzan's return" says my father.

"I like the sound of that" I say.

"Father please excuse us, let me show Tarzan around" I offer. Father nods as he and Tarzan's grandfather go to prepare a party for that night.

"Tarzan...there is something I have to tell you" I say.

"Jane?" he asks.

"I broke things off with Clayton. If I could not be with you, as promised in the letter I did not want to be with anyone else. You are the only one I will ever love" I vow.

"Jane love you!" he vows huskily. He kisses me. Cupping my face between his hands. His lips devour my own.

"Love you" he repeats. Tears come to me. "Jane no cry"

"Jane happy. Jane love Tarzan" I laugh joyfully. "I still can't believe you came for me"

He hugs me as he laughs. He kisses me.

He read my letter.

He actually read it. He loved me in return!
