Love in the Pyramid
by
Abigail Sommers
 ...When they reached the camp, Doctor Garrison woke
Matthew . "Get up son, we're home."
Matthew smiled at his father. "Oh? Thanks, dad."
Melissa almost fell out of the jeep. She was stunned. No one had told her
that this courier was Doctor Garrison's son. Her mind started to leap in
ten directions at once. One second she thought: maybe it was his son in
the pyramid. Then she decided: no, it's just a coincidence. Still, it could
have been. No, he's probably here on a visit.
John came up to the jeep. "It is good to see you back, Mr. Matthew."
Melissa did fall out of the jeep then. She had been stepping down when John
spoke, and now she was lying in the sand at their feet.
Marche was first to respond. "Melissa, are you all right, dear?"
Melissa nodded silently. Her face was ashen, but her eyes were glued to
Matthew's face. If his name was Matthew too, and he had a tent, then it
could have been him. Her mind was confused, and her heart was beating wildly.
Suddenly Matthew leaned down to help her up. He smiled, "Cat got your
tongue?"
It was him! She remembered the day, months ago, in the dark Pyramid passageway.
Suddenly he was next to her. “Okay, here’s what we’re
going to do. When I pass you, hold onto my jacket and follow me out.”
“All right.”
She was a little embarrassed. The corridor was very small and even with
her back to the wall, she almost filled the whole space.
Matthew figured he’d get her back now for her earlier comments. He
started to push past her, and as he pressed tight against her, he heard
a sound. Stopping with his body pressing against the length of hers, he
whispered in her ear, “Don’t make a sound. I think I hear your
guide coming back. I’ll explain later.”
Melissa was confused. She was shivering all over, but she didn’t know
if it was the cold wall pressing against her back, the excitement of his
maleness pressing into her stomach and thighs, or the fear of what he might
be planning to do to her.
As she remembered, a blush spread over her neck and face and she felt completely
tongue tied. She couldn't move her eyes. He was young, young, young! That
was all that she could think of at the moment.
Marche and Doctor Garrison were puzzled watching the action and reaction
taking place between Matthew and Melissa. Suddenly Doctor Garrison thought
he understood. He looked at Marche with an expression that suggested he
at last realized what was going on. He finally stopped laughing long enough
to speak to Melissa. "Melissa, didn't you know this was my son?"
Melissa, brushing off the sand, still couldn't speak, so she just shook
her head no.
The light had begun to dawn in Matthew's mind, too. "You thought my
father was the man inside the pyramid, didn't you...?"  |
