Isla was awake and watching Dani sleep. Molly and Daniel were snoozing together at the bottom of the kingsize bed.
I'm so lucky, I've got an amazing partner. Who loves me. They are amazing, I'm blessed.It was Saturday which means long walk with the dogs, somewhere for a bite of lunch. Then Bill and Cait's to drop Mol back in, Billy always takes her out on Sundays. Then home, sometimes a film on tv with a wee glass of something good. I think I'll make pancakes for breakfast, Dan deserves a treat after the trip.
Isla had spent from answering the door to Andrea until getting back in the car at Greenock pretty much feigning back pain. Although, Dani was almost certainly right when she said the kids would never believe it was a massage she was getting.
Then there was the trouble with the boys in the room. Bryony throwing a strop and refusing to take part in the second day. Meaning they were a member down for the team debate. At least Mira had fucked off by day two, another plus was that Jamal had won the individual competition and Andrea had got a distinction for research. All before Jamie broke his fingers play fighting with Dean.
Isla got out of bed as quietly and as gently as she could. She walked to the kitchen. Both dogs joined her, while she made a start on breakfast. She put the radio on low and started singing along quietly, with her own version of the lyrics.
Dani stood at the kitchen door watching Isla singing and swaying away to herself. She was smiling. I wonder how long it will take for her to notice me. I really love this woman.
Isla twirls round on her foot, during the dance. "Oh fuck!" She jumped. "You gave me a fright"
Dani laughed.
"How long you been standing there?"
"Long enough." Dani imitated the dancing and moved over and took Isla by the waist. "Morning beautiful" they kissed her lips and took her hand to allow the teacher to do a twirl while danced for a bit in the kitchen together. Molly and Daniel, eyed up the bacon on the table."You made pancakes" Dani smiled.
"Yeah" Isla said bringing a tray out of the oven where she had been keeping them warm.
"I think I'll need to keep you."
"And that better not just be about Pancakes."
"Well pancakes and amazing sex" she smiled, "but mainly because I love you"
Isla smiled. "So Romeo, I wasn't sure if you wanted bacon or syrup or fruit?" Isla explained the multitude of food on the table.
"Well do we have ice cream?"
"Yeah, there is Neapolitan in the freezer"
"You actually still buy that?" Dani grins.
"Well sometimes I like a wee bit of everything"
"Oh I know you do" Dani raises her eyebrows.
"Behave, breakfast?"
"Pancakes bacon, syrup and a scoop of vanilla"
"Okay" Isla looks confused. "Bacon and ice cream"
"Oh yeah- the salt of the bacon with the sweetness of the ice cream you have got to try it. Also salted crisps and Ice cream, is amazing."
"That's disgusting." She brings ice cream out the freezer."Here try this" Dani spoons up a mix of syrup soaked pancake, crispy bacon and a small touch of ice cream" she feeds it to Isla.
"That is actually really good"
"See told you." Dani smiles. "I had it for the first time in New York maybe about 4years ago"
"I've never been"
"Yeah it was okay. I went with Sandra, we fought our way around most of the city. I had done an itinerary and a plan. I mean it's not cheap so I thought if we plan, then we get to see the most we can in five days. She didn't want to stick to the plan. So I did quite a bit of the city on my own"
"That's a shame. I've not really gone many places. Hannah and I went to Paris when we first got together for valentines. I did the Eiffel Tower on my own. She was scared of heights. So I queued for the lifts and then did the last of the steps, think it took about an hour and then took a few selfies. It was weird. Like I was meant to be there with someone but was on my own"
"Yeah Empire State was like that for me. I did it at night on my own. She wasn't scared of heights though. We had an argument in the queue and she fucked off so"
"So you just left her in the Street at night"
"It was busy and touristy and safe. She went to a bar and did what she liked best, drank"
