love letter

Fast forward two years, and Will is getting more and more used to life in the United States.Helena came to see him a few times, and he took advantage of the opportunity to propose to her.According to the plan, next year he will return to London to get married and then settle down.

December 1898, 12 was Will's 1th birthday.He decided to throw a big party for his last birthday in his 29s.He invited many friends in the United States, but unfortunately Helena was absent because she was going to her sister's wedding.He told Alex about the plan in the letter, and the other party replied mysteriously: "Will, I have prepared a birthday present for you and asked someone to bring it to New York. Please arrive at the pier on the afternoon of November 20th." Come get it."

Will sent some servants to pick it up that afternoon, and he was busy preparing for the party.But he never imagined that he would hear Sophia shouting to him excitedly: "Mr. Collins! It's Mr. Lawrence, here he comes!"

He was taken aback for a moment, then looked up and looked outside the house as if he had heard good news that happened once in a hundred years.When his eyes landed on the blond boy behind Sophia, he finally couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, and rushed to hug him tightly: "God, Alex! You know how much I miss you!"

"Me too, Will." Alex smiled from the bottom of his heart, the pear dimples at the corners of his mouth imprinted deeply, "There is no one in London who is as interesting as you."

Will carefully looked at the boy in front of him like a treasure: Compared with three years ago, he has grown a lot taller, reaching to his chin.His facial features became more and more charming, those starry blue eyes and bright red lips almost emptied his sanity.

Alex did bring Will a gift, a beautiful and luxurious Jaeger-LeCoultre watch.After Will put it on, it was as if there was a magnet on it, and he refused to take it off again.

Alex spent the night at Will's house.At the birthday party the next day, he accompanied Will and greeted the guests as if he were the second owner of the house.

That night, Collins' house was even more lively than the ballroom. Dozens of luxuriously dressed New Yorkers gathered together, dancing gracefully to the music played by the symphony band.It was not until late at night that the guests left the venue that the carnival came to an end.

Will was obviously a little drunk. He half-closed his eyes and collapsed on the sofa, muttering something in his mouth.Sophia and several other servants helped Mr. Collins to the bedroom and let him lie on the bed to rest.She was about to cover him with a quilt, but was stopped by Mr. Lawrence standing at the door of the bedroom: "You all go out, I will take care of Will."

Alex sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to stroke Will's cheek lightly.The stubble on the face of this handsome man who is almost 30 years old is like the thorns of roses, which hurt his hands; at the same time, he reveals a strong male hormone.This is a fatal attraction.Alex stared intently at the man on the bed, his thin lips slightly parted, as if eager for his kiss.So he bent down and leaned over, lightly pecking his dry lips.He looked at the face of his loved one affectionately, and even caught a glimpse of a small tent set up under him, and couldn't help laughing.

Will was awakened by the kiss, and he looked at the boy in front of him in horror, as if he was looking at a monster: "Alex... what are you doing?"

"Will, I love you." Alex looked at him with a gentle and serious expression on his face, "I'm 17 years old."

"But, Alex, it's illegal. You're young, you can't..." Will hurriedly stood up and explained.

"Don't run away! You react too, don't you?" Alex pushed him back on the bed and kissed him on the lips again.This kiss was not as short and shy as before, but long and lingering.The two men's saliva mixed together, just like they were about to do.

This time, Will's desire trumps reason.

When he woke up the next day, the first thing he saw was a head of brilliant blond hair.The body of the boy in his arms was soft and firm, full of youthful vitality.His head was pressed tightly against his chest, and his perfect profile could be clearly seen - just like a character in an oil painting.

Will couldn't resist kissing the boy's forehead and playing with a tuft of his blond hair.He's finally got over his moral burden about what happened last night: he now feels like the luckiest man in the world.

This reunion didn't last long, with Alex heading back to London for Christmas in a few days.They agreed to meet again in London next year.

In the days that followed, the content of Alex's letters became more and more explicit, and almost the entire text was a passionate confession.And Will also began to write something like "I miss you almost across the Atlantic, I wish spring came sooner, so I can hand over the work and go home."

However, when the long winter passed and the spring he was longing for came, Will hesitated.

In April 1899, Will was about to embark on a journey back to London.On this day, he received a letter from Helena, saying that her mother's condition was not optimistic, and the doctor said that she might only have one year to live; and Mrs. Swinton's greatest wish was to see her little daughter Helena get married.Therefore, they must get married this year.

Will's nerves tense, and he feels the pressure of a cheater: what to do?If he goes back to marry Helena, will Alex be angry if he finds out? ...his mind was racing, but he chose the most cowardly and stupid way: He decided to sneak back to London without telling Alex, and wait until the wedding was over to tell him.

"You're such a coward, Will!" he said to himself.However, he couldn't think of a better way... He didn't want to give up anyone: he loved Helena, she was beautiful and noble, and could help him step into the upper class; The angel in his heart is also the fire of his desire.

In the past, he read from a book: "A Christian's heart has a limited capacity, and a heart can only accommodate one person in love." He is not a devout Christian!Yeah, God can't forgive him, send him to hell...
