Chapter 19 Enjoy the Silence.
Cassandra waited for Orlando to come and help her out of his vehicle as he had asked her to. She’d tried to get out, but had been snapped at when he saw what she was trying to do. She let out a loud sigh of annoyance, but she knew that he was right. She couldn’t walk to well without her crutches. When they finally did get into the house, she was settled on the couch and a pillow was put under her leg. Orlando hadn’t really spoken much during the ride home and was just as silent at the moment. She didn’t know why he was so quiet, of course she knew he was upset, but why the silent treatment. She decided to break the silence.
“ Orlando, are you okay? Why are you so quiet?” She asked tentatively. She heard him sigh and then saw him run his hand through his already disheveled hair.
“ No, damn it. I’m not okay,” He replied tightly as he turned to face her. “You were hurt today. The little ones could’ve been hurt…I’ve come to a decision. I’m taking you out of the country…to England. We can stay with my mother, you’ll be safe there.”
“Uhhh, so you just came up with this, did you? It sounds more like something that you’ve been thinking about for awhile,” She responded as she crossed her arms across her chest. “ Orlando, I will not allow someone to run me out of my home…I won’t have it. Do you understand me? I don’t want anything to happen to the babies any more then you do, but there has to be something else we can do.” Tears began to emerge from her eyes; they ran unchecked down her cheeks and onto her arms.
“Honey, I’m sorry. Please…don’t cry,” He moved to her side and kneeled down on the floor. “I didn’t mean to make you upset…I just can’t help the way I feel. I want to protect you. I want you to be safe, you and the babies. I’d die if something happened to you. I found you and I don’t want to lose you.” He gripped her hands in his and then brought them up to his lips, kissing them gently. “ I love you so much, please understand.” He pleaded, his eyes filled with tears.
Cassandra nodded,” Yes, I understand, I’m sorry, but I can’t stand this. I feel so helpless. I can barely move now, I’ve been so fucking terrified and now this. I was hoping that all of this would just stop.” Her voice rose in agitation. “I can’t handle this, this is too much. I know it was that crazy bitch. Marilyn. It had to be her. No one else cares enough…”She pulled herself free from Orlando and struggled to her feet. She winced with pain and he tried to stop her. “No, Let me go. I need to be alone.”
“Cassy, please don’t…”
Cassy ignored him and left the living room and limped painfully out the backdoor. She made it halfway down the street before her knee collapsed. She fell forward onto her already injured hands and cried out. It was a good thing, she thought, that the townhouses on this side of the street were empty. She would be too embarrassed, her hands were bleeding again and she was crying from frustration and anger. Of course she was also in a lot of pain, her knee felt like it was ripping apart, but she managed to roll over to her backside. Damn, she was so stupid, she thought, how could a man like Orlando love her? Why? There she was, in the middle of the street behind the townhouses, with an injured knee, hands and several months pregnant. And it was cold. She felt like such a moron. Cassy knew that she couldn’t get back on her own, so she sat there and cried tears of frustration and pain, but after a few more minutes of self deprecation, she decided that the tears weren’t helping her situation. She finally decided that she had to get up and started to move.
“ Cassy!” Orlando yelled as he ran towards her, “Oh love, I’m so sorry, please don’t leave me.” He fell to his knees when he reached her side. He grabbed her into his arms, sobbing. “We can do anything you want, if I have to I’ll hire a body guard. Anything, please.” He buried his face in her neck.
“ Orlando…Orlando, my love. I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have left like that.”
“ No, you have no reason to apologize. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made a decision like that without talking to you.” He muttered into her shoulder, and then pulled away to look at her face. He took her hands in his and began to rub them. “ You’re cold, we have to get you inside, and we will continue this after we get you warm, okay?” At her nod, he helped her up and told her to not put any weight on her knee and to lean on him.
“ Orlando, honey. You are strong, but I outweigh you by a lot. I can’t put all my weight on you.” She commented dryly. He responded by saying, that he could bloody well carry her if he had too and to hush up about her weight. She hushed.
They made it to the house with no mishaps and up to their bedroom. He helped her undress and into bed. “ Love, do you want anything, need anything? Do you want something to eat or drink, maybe some tea…”
Cassy interrupted, “ Honey, I’m fine. I don’t need anything other then a couple of Tylenol and a huge glass of orange juice. And then I want you to come to bed and we can cuddle.”
He grinned, “Of course, I’ll be right back.” He rushed off to get the asked for objects and came back a few minutes later with a huge glass of juice and a bottle of Tylenol. He opened the bottle of pain medicine and poured out a couple. “ If you want I can get an ice pack for your knee, I’ll be right back.” He handed her the pills and the glass, then rushed off again. He came back a couple of minutes later with a bag of ice and a towel, and after a minute he had her leg elevated and her knee covered with the cold rubber bottle. He then stripped out of his clothes and climbed in bed carefully. She finished her juice and put the glass on the bedside table, then sighed.
“ I can’t cuddle with you, because of the ice.” She complained with a pout.
“ Yes, you can, just not in the way you usually do.” He took her into his arms and tucked her against him. He managed to do it in such a way that it didn’t dislodge anything. “ There, how is that?”
“ That’s just fine, thank you, Mi amor.” She closed her eyes and sighed contentedly.
“Cassy, we should talk…I really want to take you away. I don’t feel it’s safe for you anymore. Whoever is doing this to us…they aren’t going to stop. If you’re right and it is Marilyn, she’s a lot smarter then we give her credit for.
“No, not tonight. I don’t want to talk about it. Maybe tomorrow…I think I’d rather cuddle.” She replied as she buried her face in his neck.
His arms wrapped tighter around her body and he nuzzled her neck, inhaling her scent, his eyes fell shut as he savored the closeness of her body. He was so thankful that she was okay and their little ones were safe. He couldn’t hold back the tears that pricked behind his eyelids; his body shuddered with the memory of the fear that had run through his body earlier. He held her tightly to his body, “ I love you.”
Cassy smiled sleepily as she heard his words of love, “ I love you too.”She reached up and kissed his lips softly, but he deepened it. His tongue flicked along the outside of her lips, asking for entrance. She smiled against his mouth, “ Honey as much as I would like to continue this, I’m really tired. Can we just cuddle for a bit, then I would like to get some sleep? I’m so tired.”
“Anything you want, sweetheart.” He replied with understanding, he could understand why she was worn-out; she’d had a very draining day. As much as he wanted to continue, he tramped down on his almost out of control libido and enjoyed the feeling of her in his arms.
She cuddled into his embrace and sighed loudly, “So when are we leaving?” She asked quietly.“As soon as you want. Do you want to go visit your family first? If you want we can get married there too. I don’t care where it happens, I just want to be married to you and I know how important your family is to you. My mother will understand; I’ve been keeping her up to date on what’s been happening. She wants to meet you and would love to have you over for a visit. I think you two would get along famously.”
Cassy pulled away slightly so she could look at him, “You really think so? I’m so worried that she won’t like me…. I know what you are going to say…but I can’t help it.” She ducked her face to hide it in his neck. She had spoken to Mrs. Bloom on the phone several times, but that wasn’t the same as meeting someone face to face.
“Honey,” he started, “My mother will love you. I know she will. I’ve told her about you and I think that she’s already half in love with you just from those phone conversation you’ve had with her. And my sister…well, I know she will absolutely adore you. Everything will be fine. I promise.” He took her chin in his hand and tilted her face up and kissed her gently.
“Okay,” She murmured, “Yes, I would like to go visit my family first. I haven’t seen them in awhile. I haven’t even met my new stepmother,” She chuckled “I hope that we can leave all this horrible business behind us. I don’t want our children exposed to it.”
“I know my love, don’t worry, I’ll take a leave of absence from the clinic and you can do whatever you have to...quit if you want…doesn’t matter to me if you work or not. Go down to part time if you want, but if they give you trouble with this…”
“Honey don’t worry about it, I won’t have any problems and if I do I will quit,” She smiled “I’d rather be home with the babies anyway.” She snuggled into his arms again and yawned. Cassy felt her eyes get heavier and heavier. She still couldn’t believe that the events of the day could be real; it was almost like a nightmare. Unfortunately it was real, they did happen, but right now, her body was demanding sleep and she could resist its pull any longer. She closed her eyes and fell right to sleep.
Orlando listened to Cassandra’s even breathing, he turned his body so he could see her face. He ran his hand gently across her brow and down her face. He outlined her lips and her stubborn chin. He smiled as she smiled in her sleep, but stopped his movements; he didn’t want to wake her up. He continued to hold her in his arms until his own body demanded sleep.
Across town in the neat little trailer she called home, Marilyn stood at her bedroom window, the phone in her hand. She had just decided against calling the object of her affection, Orlando. No, it wasn’t just affection, it was an all-encompassing love and desire. She wanted him for herself; she wanted to lock him away from other’s prying eyes. She didn’t want any other woman to look at him, much less touch him, but she knew deep down inside that it was impossible for him not to touch other people; he was a doctor. She turned away from the window and set the cordless phone back on the charger, then got into bed. She leaned against the headboard as she pulled the blankets and sheet up to her hips.
“Damn it,” She screeched as she pounded on the mattress. Her little kidnapping plan hadn’t worked and she was pissed. She still thought that if The Cow, Cassandra, was out of the picture, Orlando would turn to her for comfort. Marilyn knew that the only reason he was still with her was because he was an honorable man. The Cow had become pregnant and most likely did it on purpose, because there was no way in hell that anyone would look at her. What man would want that blob? She couldn’t figure it out. Orlando had just had a momentary lack of control and she could forgive that. Men were that way sometimes, but once she had him, there would be no reason for him to go elsewhere for affection. She would give him all the affection he could ever need. She smiled as she pulled the blankets over her shoulders and laid her head on the fluffy pillow. Yes, they would be happy forever, she thought as she fell asleep.
The next morning, Cassy stirred. She inhaled sharply as she stretched her arms and legs. She felt the twinge of pain in her knee and stopped abruptly.
“Ouch” She squeaked as she sat up gingerly, pushing herself up into an upright position. She saw that Orlando wasn’t in bed and from the cool temperature of the sheets; he’d been up for awhile. She wondered where he was as she attempted to swing her legs out of bed. Now that she was moving, her muscles protested. All the little aches and pains that she hadn’t felt yesterday, made themselves known. Her hands stung, her other knee was sore, and her back hurt like Hades, but Cassy knew that she had to get up and move; she couldn’t stay in bed all day. It would make things much worse. She forced her protesting body up and out of bed. She had to use the furniture as support as she made her way into the bathroom, limping and moaning the entire way.
Orlando made his way up the stairs; his hands were full with a breakfast tray. He entered the their room and saw that Cassy wasn’t in bed. He heard the shower running and put down the tray on a side table. He grinned at the thought of her body wet and soapy, but that thought was quickly replaced as soon as he heard a shriek of pain that emanated from the other room. He rushed through the bathroom door and pulled the shower curtain aside, fully prepared to see Cassy on the shower floor. Instead he saw her bent over at the waist, with a razor in one hand and blood running down her leg.
“Cassy, what the hell…. are you okay?” He shut the water off and grabbed a towel.
“No, damn it I’m not. This is not something that you need to see first of all and I fucking cut myself,” She huffed loudly as she took the towel from him and dabbed gingerly at the cut on her leg. “I’m trying to shave my legs here and it’s really hard to do that. I thought I could do it this way, but I can’t…. Please help me sit down?”
Orlando took the razor from her clenched fist, and then helped her to sit on the edge of the shower/bathtub combo. “Honey, why didn’t you wait for me in the first place? You shouldn’t be bending like that secondly and thirdly, you shouldn’t be bending your knee in such a manner. I can certainly help you with this. I’ve had plenty of practice shaving you know.”
Cassy winced, “Yes, I know, I’m sorry, but it’s just a female thing…I thought I could do it myself. I didn’t want to bother you.” Tears began to form, but she quickly blinked them away. She would not become a blubbering idiot over this.
“Sweetheart…please understand; I’m here for you. I will help in anyway I can and that includes shaving…Now how far did you get in your endeavor?” He asked as he took the towel away and examined the cut on her leg. It was not too deep, but was rather on the long side, right below her knee and certainly wouldn’t require stitches, but it continued to bleed sluggishly.
“ Not very far…Ohh this is so embarrassing.” She cringed
“Well, let’s get this done, your breakfast is waiting for you,” He said briskly. “So do you use shaving cream or some other thing?”
“Uhmm, I use this,” She picked up a can of shave gel and handed it to him. She was a little nervous about letting someone shave her legs, but she trusted Orlando with her very life.
He took the can and looked at it, he then shook it as instructed and squirted a small amount in his hand. Then he proceeded to do the job at hand.
Half an hour later, Cassy’s legs were shaved and she was happily ensconced on their bed eating breakfast. “Thank you, honey. I really appreciate it.”
Orlando smiled brightly, “You have no reason to thank me, really. I should thank you. I got a lot out of it, I had a sexy, naked lady almost at my feet for the past thirty minutes.” He moved closer to her on the bed and nuzzled her ear, then kissed her cheek.
“Yeah right, sexy alright. I look like a beached whale. I’m real sexy, but I’m a whale with shaved legs and that makes me happy.” She giggled. Cassy started to lift the tray off of her lap, then Orlando took it from her and put it on the bedside table.
Orlando turned back to her and took her hand in his, “ I really wish you wouldn’t say that sort of stuff about yourself. You aren’t a whale. You are so very beautiful…to me you are the most beautiful woman alive and you will be the mother of my children. Soon we will be married and God willing, we will be together for the rest of our lives.”
Cassandra didn’t reply to his words verbally, but she did respond by taking his hand in her and pulling him into a kiss.*********
