Yorkshire Lady part 25

Part 25

On the morning of New Years Day  John and Caroline  came to breakfast late.  Both blushing crimson as the  'Masters At Arms'  teased them with  ' Morning you 2. Sleep well did you ?'

After everyone had eaten   Andy announced that he had a little surprise for the newly weds.

He slid an arm around  Rebecca who smiled for the first time that morning.  ( She was still not happy with having to get her own breakfast here).

'This lady  and I are getting married in June'.   He announced bringing Caroline  squealing round the table  for hugs    while John shook hands and kissed Rebecca.

Andy too some photos from his pocket.    'We just  fell in love with this villa in France'.   He told them ' and we bought it for holidays and  we're going to have the wedding there, on it's own private beach.........'

It  really did look   like paradise.    The Villa was  on cliffs overlooking the  Med  with steps down  to the small beach in a cove.

It was just outside the town of  Vias sur Mer in Languedoc.  40 miles from  Montpellier and 60 from  Carcasonne ( the largest walled mediaeval city in Europe).

'You guy's can use it for your honeymoon if you'd like'.   Andy told them.

                                 ********************************************

On the Saturday morning that  began the Easter holidays  Freddy and Charlie  went off in their father's helicopter.   Caroline had tears in her eyes.   This was a price that had to be paid for her freedom from marriage to Andy,   she hated that her Little Men had to pay it too.

' You feel guilty about  going away without them don't you ?'  John asked.    Caroline nodded tearfully,  secure in the warmth of her husband's gaze that she wasn't  going to wound his pride.

  John had the same  trusting confidence as a child.   He knew the depth of her love for him so  the equal depth of her love for her children was never a threat.

'The thing is  I'm as much excited about this being  just you and me'.   She snuggled her head into  his broad chest inhaling his sweet but manly smell.

'Just remember ,'   John stroked her head,  long strong fingers capable of such gentleness.  ' You and I get to spend all the ordinary family life times with the boys.   I love doing that too,  so let's  think of this as a time to recharge our batteries  so we can  enjoy them more.'

To  emphasise the point further he kissed her.  His lips and tongue brushing with luscious warmth against hers.

He pulled back with reluctance,  passion burning in his eyes and in the depth of his voice. 'Best get into the car,  before I drag you back inside and make us miss our plane'.

                             *****************************************

As they settled into their seats on the plane,   John said he had a confession to make.

'I've never been on a plane before'.   He told her,   'And I don't mind admitting I'm scared'.

'What are you feeling nervous about ?'   Caroline asked and when John   told her it was the though of taking off and landing  she smiled warmly.   'No problem.   That I can help you with'.

As the plane 'taxied'  to the run way  she explained about  how sucking can  relieve the pressure in the ears.

'Most people  suck a sweet' she told him   but I can think of something much better'.
