Love Returns

  Chapter Eleven

  “Good morning, beautiful,” Ali whispered into Flick’s ear.

  “Good morning yourself, gorgeous,” she reached over and kissed Ali.

  “Would you like a cup of coffee?”

  “That would be lovely, let me get dressed and we can go down.”

  Ali kissed Flick and eased her back onto the bed, “I’ll bring us some up. The girls haven’t got to get up for another hour so we’ve got time.”

  “Thanks, babe. That would be nice.”

  Ali went downstairs in her shorts and t-shirt. She was just putting coffee into the cafetiere, when Steph entered the Kitchen.

  “Morning, Ali.”

  “Morning, Steph. I was hoping to catch a moment with you before we left. I need you to do a favour for me.”

  “What would that be, and will I end up getting in trouble with Flick because of it?”

  “It’s for her last present for valentines. It’s being delivered to my house on Monday, and I’d like you and the girls to be there, for when we get back.”

  “That sounds like a good idea. What have you got her?” Ali whispered into her ear and Steph’s eyes went wide, “she is going to kill you.”

  “Yeah I know, but I couldn’t resist. Chelsea knows the way to my house, and I’ll leave you a set of keys. Just help yourself to anything while you’re there. The pool cleaner should be going in tomorrow. So if you fancy a dip, go right ahead.”

  Steph laughed. Flick had really lucked out with Ali. It was obvious that Ali was nuts about her, and vice versa.

  “Grab a mug and come up, we’re having coffee in bed before the girls get up.”

  “That sounds like a great idea. If you don’t mind that is?”

  “Of course I don’t mind.”

  They climbed the stairs and walked back into the bedroom, where Flick was looking at the travel reports on the TV. She quickly flicked the reports off so, Ali wouldn’t know where they were going.

  “Good Morning, Steph. Hope you slept well.”

  “I certainly did.”

  They each poured a coffee. They all settled back against the headboard and watched the news as they drank coffee. Then the sound of Chelsea’s alarm was heard. Flick tossed the covers off, and told Steph to hide in her bathroom.

  She got the girls ready for school, and sent them downstairs for their breakfast.

  Steph had tiptoed past the bathroom, while the girls were cleaning their teeth. She used the shower in the bathroom in the loft, and then got dressed. She met a freshly showered Ali on the landing.

  “Here are the keys to my house. You can tell the girls about the present, but they are to keep it a major secret.”

  “No worries, Ali.”

  Suddenly Flick appeared in the en suite doorway, freshly showered. “Give me ten minutes to get dressed, and then we can go down.”

  She dressed quickly, and after applying a light covering of makeup, was ready to go downstairs. She and Ali picked their bags up, and started down the stairs. They put the bags in the living room, and then motioned for Steph to go into the kitchen. Steph pushed the door open and shouted out.

  “Stand by your beds, Auntie Steph is here to torment you for the weekend.”

  The girls jumped from the table and ran to her, “what are you doing here!” they said in unison.

  Flick cleared her throat to save Steph from answering. The girls noticed Ali and both went to her and gave her a kiss and a cuddle.

  “Morning, guys, have you had enough toast and cereal?” Ali asked them.

  The girls sat down, and started tucking in again. All the adults joined them and Flick looked at the girls.

  “Auntie Steph is here, to look after you until Monday.”

  “Why, where are you going?” Chelsea asked.

  “Your Mum has booked us a weekend away, and won’t tell me where we’re going. So I can’t help you on that front,” Ali replied.

  “So, you two are going away for a little break, and we’re going to stay here with Auntie Steph?”

  “Yep.”

  “COOL!” they both shouted

  Ali was pleased to see that the girls weren’t going to cause a scene, about them going away.

  Straight after breakfast Ali and Flick loaded the car up and then got the girls in. They were going to drop them off at school, before they set off.

  Ali threw her keys to Flick who, caught them and got in.

  “Oh my God, you’re letting Mum drive your car?” asked Chelsea

  “Yes. Why, what’s wrong with that?”

  “Nothing,” but she shot a glance at Annabelle, that cause Ali to laugh. Flick was a little bit of a speed demon when she got on a motorway.

  “I’ll call you tonight when we get there, Steph, and thanks again,” Flick said kissing her cheek.

  “No worries. I’ll pick you up later girls,” she called back.

  After dropping the girls off. Flick looked at Ali and asked, “ready?”

  “Of course.”

  They exited the city and headed east.

  ###

  After a quick stop on the M11, and another two-hour journey, they had reached the East Anglian coast. Flick knew where she was going. She pulled up to a house, and ran to the door, where she was greeted by a young lady who handed Flick a key. Flick then got back in the car, and headed down a little road that led to the back of the house. Ali’s eyes opened wider, when she realised that there was a little holiday village, down the road. There were about fifteen cabins on the village, each looked beautiful. She looked at Flick. She couldn’t hide her excitement.

  They pulled up to cabin five and Flick handed Ali the key. “Happy Valentine’s Day, baby.”

  Ali took the key, “I’ll kiss you when we get inside.”

  They both grabbed their bags and headed inside. Flick’s eyes widened when she saw, how modern the cabin was.

  “Flick! Come and have a look at this.”

  Flick found Ali on the back deck she, was staring at a hot tub, “oh yes, I’m going to love it here.”

  Ali pulled Flick to her, and kissed her thoroughly, “thank you for this, darling. We both need the break. Seeing as we’ve got this brilliant hot tub, and the back deck is not over looked by anything, am I going to get to see you naked in it?”

  “Your wish is my desire, darling.”

  “Really?” Ali pulled Flick to her and kissed her again. She let her hands wander over the front of Flick’s shirt. She finally inched her hand higher, and caressed Flick’s breast through her shirt. Flick was moaning, so Ali deepened the kiss. Suddenly Flick pulled back.

  “Sorry, darling, it’s not that I wasn’t enjoying myself, but we need to go back out and get food in for breakfast.”

  Ali looked flabbergasted, she wanted to touch Flick again. Flick’s breasts were as beautiful as she, thought they would be. She couldn’t wait to take one in her mouth.

  “We’ve got a dinner reservation tonight at a local restaurant. But I want to make you a special breakfast tomorrow. After dinner we’re going dancing at a local gay bar. Then when we get back, I’ve got a surprise for you.” She said with a hint of mischief.

  They walked out of the cabin, and Flick gave Ali her car keys.

  ###

  They spent the day in Kings Lynn town centre, shopping. They were looking in a shop window, which had a gorgeous red dress in.

  “What do you have planned for tomorrow night, sweetheart?” Ali asked.

  “I thought we could decided that together.”

  “Would you trust me to make all the arrangements?”

  “I trust you with my life.”

  “Okay. Let’s go and get a drink, then I’ll shoot off and take care of tomorrow night. I’ll only be about half an hour.”

  They found a wine bar, and ordered a glass of Zinfandel for Flick and a mineral water for Ali. Ali finished her drink and got up. She kissed Flick’s cheek and walked off.

  Flick had to laugh. They were still learning t
hings about each other. She remembered Ali’s face, when she discovered Flick’s like of Classical music. They’d been skipping through the disc changer, hidden in the boot of Ali’s car, when she came to a Catherine Jenkins CD. Ali was about to press the button for the next CD when Flick stopped her.

  After forty minutes, Flick was getting concerned. She then spotted Ali coming towards her. Ali took a chair next to Flick and held her hand.

  “We need to go and get some things for tomorrow.”

  “Okay, lead on, baby,” Flick stood gathering her things.

  They reached the shop that held the red evening gown in the window. Flick hesitated and Ali pushed her through the door with a small laugh.

  A sales assistant approached them, “good day, ladies. How can I help?”

  “I’d like the dress in the window please,” Ali stated.

  Flick laughed out loud, “darling, I really can’t picture you in that.”

  “It’s not for me, sweetheart, you’re going to need it for tomorrow night.”

  Flick’s jaw dropped. “What exactly do you have planned?”

  “Now that would be telling. Just trust me, you’re going to love it.”

  “What size?” the sales assistant asked.

  “Twelve,” Ali said without hesitation.

  “Perfect this is the right size. If you’d like to come with me, then we can try it on.”

  Flick followed the sales assistant, and turned back when Ali called to her, “don’t come out with it on, I want to be surprised tomorrow. Just assess what else you need, like shoes, a handbag and underwear.”

  Flick tried the dress on. She had tears in her eyes, at the sight of herself. If she were this pleased with the look, Ali would love it. She knew she would have to go and buy some other underwear, and everything else that Ali suggested, but god this dress was amazing.

  After half an hour in the shop, they left with Ali carrying the dress she had just bought Flick. They walked hand in hand around the shops, so they could get the rest of Flick’s things. Ali wasn’t allowed to go into the shop, where Flick was buying underwear. Flick wanted to pick out something sexy and enticing. As the dress was red, she decided that a red lace set was appropriate. They then made their way to another shop to find something for Ali to wear.

  The sales assistant in this shop was a lot different to the last one. He looked at Ali and said, “madam, this is a gentlemen’s clothing store, unless you are buying for a male acquaintance, then I won’t be able to help you.”

  Ali was annoyed by his approach, and knew just the way to sway his snotty attitude. She pulled her wallet out, and showed him her Gold card.

  “What can I do for you today, Madam?”

  “That’s better. I’m looking for something to wear out tomorrow night. We’re going to…” she looked at Flick and whispered the venue to him.

  “But of course, Madam, I will be able to help you. What style are you looking for? Something traditional or elegant.”

  “Elegant, I want to look smart, but still look feminine.”

  “But of course, and you will definitely need a coat.”

  Flick watched as Ali was led into the changing room. An hour later Ali was happy with what she had got. She was wearing a shirt that required cuff-links, and she found the perfect pair that matched her watch and outfit perfectly.

  “Right, we need to move now babe. Reservations for dinner are at 7:00 p.m. and I want to have a shower and relax before we go out.”

  They headed back to the cabin. Ali noticed a hotel nearby that, offered a good restaurant. She had her laptop in the boot, and would check it out while she sent Flick out on a mission to find some beer. There was a little shop next to the main house that should sell it. She needed some privacy to make the arrangements.

  Once the cabin door was shut Ali threw herself down on the sofa, letting out a loud sigh. Flick walked to the sofa and wrapped her arms, around Ali’s shoulders from behind.

  “Are you okay, darling?”

  “Yes, just a bit knackered. How are we getting to the restaurant and bar tonight?”

  “I’ve booked us a cab. So we can both drink.”

  “That sounds wonderful, but we never brought anything back. Why don’t you pop along to that shop, and grab a bottle of wine and some beer.”

  “I can do that. Anything to keep my, gorgeous girlfriend, happy.” She kissed Ali’s cheek and headed for the door.

  Ali watched her walk away then picked up her laptop. Once she found the restaurant, she called them and booked a table for two. Which was an incredible stroke of luck, as it was the last table. She hadn’t sorted transport out, and asked if they ran a limo or vintage car service. She was relieved to hear that they had one vintage car left.

  “I want to book it for the entire evening please.”

  She gave them the address of where to pick up from, and then where they were going to after the meal. They would also need to be brought back. She was glad that she was able, to get everything sorted before Flick got back.

  “I’ve got some Coronas and lime, babe. Now, if you’ll excuse me there is a beer, and hot tub calling my name.”

  “What naked?” Ali asked quickly.

  “Well, I didn’t bring a suit.”

  Ali ran after her into the bedroom. She caught hold of Flick’s wrist and turned her around, pulling her into her arms, “seriously, I’m finally going to get to see you naked?” She asked, while playing with the front of Flick’s hair.

  “Yes, but, you’ve got to be a good girl, otherwise we won’t be leaving the cabin at all, and I want to take you dancing.”

  Flick pulled away, and went to get changed in the bathroom. She wrapped her dressing gown around herself before exiting. Ali had uncovered the hot tub and turned it on. She was in the mini kitchen when Flick slipped past her. Flick quickly stepped into the water and submerged herself up to her shoulders. She sighed and closed her eyes at the warmth that engulfed her. She felt a cold bottle in her hand, and realised Ali was on the deck with her. She opened her eyes, and caught Ali staring at her chest.

  “Enjoying the view?” She asked as she raised the bottle to her lips.

  “Very much so.”

  “Why don’t you join me? The water is lovely.”

  “That’s not a good idea, if you want me to be a good girl. You and me naked in a hot tub, is not going to be me behaving.”

  Flick laughed at Ali’s restraint. Ali leaned over and kissed her, then turned and headed inside. Flick was glad Ali couldn’t see past her waist. She had invested in a full wax three days ago. That was to be Ali’s surprise for later, along with the midnight blue negligee she had packed.

  Flick pulled herself out of the water at 6:00 p.m., she was starving and needed to get showered and ready to go out. She found Ali asleep on the bed.

  She crawled onto the bed and over Ali’s body. Ali suddenly opened her eyes, and looked down. Flick realised that, Ali had a great view down her dressing gown, she kissed her and rolled over. Then headed to the bathroom.

  “We need to get ready, baby. The cab will be here in forty-five minutes,” she called back over her shoulder.

  “I need a shower.”

  “I won’t be long. Get undressed and you can jump in after me.”

  ###

  They were only five minutes late for the cab. Ali held the door for Flick as she got in, and then joined her in the back seat. They held hands and shared some smouldering looks until they reached the restaurant. Ali paid the driver and tipped him generously, as an apology for the wait.

  They walked into the restaurant and approached the front of house desk. “Table for two, under Bromwell,” Flick said.

  A very professional young man led them to their table that looked out onto the sea.

  Alison took her seat and scanned the drinks menu. As the waiter approached, Ali looked at Flick and for the first time took in her appearance. Alison had to pull her eyes away from the open shirt, and order the drinks, she was findin
g it hard to concentrate. She finally selected a bottle of wine for them, then reached for Flick’s hand over the table.

  “You look gorgeous, darling. I’m really looking forward to dancing with you tonight.”

  “Likewise. You’ve got a great arse, and I can’t wait to see you shake it.”

  They ate their meals and chatted about the girls, Ali’s Mum, and their relationship.

  At 9:00 p.m. they left the restaurant and headed for the bar. Ali wrapped her arm around Flick’s waist. She was pleased when Flick put her hand into the back pocket, of her jeans and squeezed her arse. They entered the club, and noticed that it was already packed.

  “What do you want to drink?” Ali shouted over the music.

  “Corona would hit the spot lovely.”

  They ordered their drinks and found two stools at the bar. Ali had brought a fleece with her, and put it over both stools, so nobody would pinch them while they were dancing.

  Ali stood up, and whispered in Flick’s ear, “I’m just popping to the Ladies.”

  Flick watched the crowded room and was startled when a strong deep voice sounded in her ear. “I haven’t seen you in here before. Can I buy you a drink?”

  She turned around to see a heavyset woman, with short spiky hair and a pierced bottom lip.

  “No thanks. I’m just waiting for my girlfriend.”

  “There is no way, that you have a girlfriend. She wouldn’t have left you, just sitting here alone.”

  Flick glanced at Ali approaching and smiled. Ali wrapped her arm around Flick, and kissed her full on the mouth. She smiled at Flick, and then turned to the stranger and extended her hand. “Hi I’m Ali. Thanks for keeping this gorgeous creature company, while I went to the Ladies.”

  “I’m Michelle. I think I’ll leave you two ladies, to enjoy the rest of your evening.”

  Flick laughed as Michelle walked away. Ali was not going to give anyone a chance, to chat her up.

  “Come on, baby, let’s dance.”

  Ali led her onto the dance floor. They did their own version of dirty dancing, and Ali was pleased that people were staring at Flick. She was proud that Flick was on her arm and nobody else’s. She pulled Flick closer and stared at her necklace, it was the one Ali had given to her in Brighton. A slow love song started playing, and Flick pulled her even closer. She wrapped her arms around Flick’s waist, and Flick put hers behind Ali’s neck, while she buried her face into the side of her neck.
