A Forbidden Romance

Chapter Twenty Seven

Billie's POV:

The following morning Billie woke bright and early to the sound of children splashing around in the pool outside. Usually having her beauty sleep disturbed at 7 in the morning (especially on a weekend) would drive the blonde crazy, but she was in too good a mood to care.

Light rays of sunshine streamed in through the window, washing the room in a soft radiance that instantly heightened her mood. Although the thought of having to return to normality later that evening niggled at her, but for the time being she pushed the thought to the back of her mind ready to deal with it when the time came.

A presence stirred beside her, shifting closer, an arm loosely draped over her stomach, lips ghosting across the side of her jaw. You mumbled something incoherent and Billie wrapped an arm around you, gently kissing the top of your head as she coaxed you back to sleep. She would definitely miss waking up next to you.

Billie stayed like that for 30 minutes, her fingers lightly stroking up and down your arm, cheek pressed against the top of your head as she breathed in the heavenly scent of your shampoo. After checking to make sure you were still asleep, she carefully slipped out of bed, brushing her lips softly against your forehead before quietly making her way towards the bathroom.

Her plan was to have a quick shower and get dressed before taking a trip into town whilst you were still sleeping. She wanted to buy a couple of snacks for the journey home, and she also wanted to buy you a little gift. Something that showed how much she loved and cared for you and would remind you of her whenever you were apart; which would be more often than not.

Billie dreaded going back home, wanting to keep you all to herself for as long as possible, but she was also worried about having to face her husband again. He would no doubt ruin her mood when he returned home later that night, he wasn't due back until 10:00pm so Billie had to make sure she was home before him, which if her calculations were correct she would arrive home with a few hours to spare.

After Billie showered and dressed; wearing a casual suit which was one of your requests, she gave you one last kiss to your forehead, taking a moment to admire how perfect you were before grabbing her purse and keys and quietly slipping out of the room, hoping that you didn't wake whilst she was gone.

A couple hours later Billie returned to the hotel donning a few shopping bags on each arm; one containing a gift for you, and in the others were various food items for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the car journey home. Billie thought about taking you out to a fancy restaurant before heading home, but she was greedy and wanted you all to herself, because who knew when she'd have the opportunity to do this again; hopefully soon.

You were still sound asleep, buried deep underneath the covers and snoring softly, just the top of your head visible to the older woman from where she stood in the doorway. She kicked off her heels and discarded the shopping bags before quietly tiptoeing across the room, circling around to your side of the bed. Taking a seat on the edge, she gently pulled back the covers, lightly brushing away the hair that obscured your face. Her fingers lingered on your cheek, the warmth of your skin sending shockwaves up her arm, circulating around the rest of her body. Leaning down, and trying her best not to wake you, she placed a tentative kiss to your forehead, lips stretching out into a smile when in response to her affection, you exhaled a content sigh, a smile present on your lips; but still remained fast asleep.
