Vengeful Summer

Chapter 5

Michelle woke with a start. The Spanish sun was already warm, and she could hear Valerie downstairs. The Villa was truly beautiful. And she felt a tinge of sadness, but also a joy that Charlie had done all this for them. She slipped out of bed, and as she put on the thin robe, she could smell coffee. She shouted down "YES PLEASE!" and smiled to herself. "COME ON!" came the reply. And she grinned more broadly. Despite all that had happened. Her friend never failed to make her smile. She walked into the immaculate kitchen. "Hello sleepyhead," Valerie laughed. "I think it's the first time in six months I have slept all night," Michelle replied. "And it felt good." Valerie nodded. " I hear you," she said. "When I lost Jamie, I think it was about the same time frame for me. But you need it. Without it, you become lazy, slow, and lose your lust for life!" and she threw her head back with laughter. Michelle smiled and stepped into the magnificent garden. The loungers were slightly off white. Perhaps not the most practical, but certainly in keeping with the amazing building and gardens. She took a huge deep breath. It was a good feeling. Valerie joined her by the pool. They sat in silence and just smiled. As Valerie sipped her coffee Michelle spoke softly. "I want to make Tommy pay" Valerie wasn't quite ready for the conversation, and almost choked on the hot liquid in her mouth. Michelle continued, "I need to prove beyond all doubt it was him, and when I do, I want him gone permanently." There was a steely determination in her voice. Valerie smiled. "It's about bloody time," she said. "So how do you intend to do this?" Michelle looked at her friend. "Right now, I don't have that answer," Valerie smiled again. "But I intend to find it" "WELL" Valerie spoke in a determined voice, "if you are sure, then perhaps we need to have a chat with Anesh and Marco." Michelle looked puzzled? "Marco doesn't just have a huge cock" she laughed as the words came out of her mouth and she thought about how big he had felt, "He is also very well connected to just the sort of people that Tommy would LOVE to get to know, she paused, "he has been a VERY bad boy in the past" Michelle put her hands on her hips. "And just HOW do you know all this?" she questioned. "I told you before dahhling," Valerie smiled, "I make sure i get everyone i get close to checked out" And an almost evil smile came across her face. "He may have the restaurant and be the golden boy, but he has a very dark past that I hope we can use to get what we want" she paused. "And it also means I get to have that BEAST of a penis again!" She laughed as she stood up, dropped her robe and slipped quietly into the pool. As she did so she gasped, the water was a little colder than she was expecting!

Michelle smiled, and dropped her robe to join Valerie. Naked swimming in her own pool, in her own villa. She felt the grief pass over her, and wished again Charlie was here. But she at least now knew she had the strength to fight back.

The two women swam for maybe twenty minutes before Valerie's mobile began to ring. As she stepped out of the pool, Michelle looked at her friend and realised how far they had come as friends. She felt a warmth inside, which became the fire of anger as she let her mind go deeper. Valerie put the phone down with "excellent, see you then" and turned to Michelle. "Lets see just how good your BMW is shall we?" Michelle looked puzzled. "We have a date with a huge penis and your gay husband!" and she strutted into the house. As she did so, a young woman appeared. "Who are you?" Michelle snapped, taken by surprise at the stranger in her house. "My name is Ruth" she answered, " I am your maid, and i come to the house every Tuesday and Friday." The accent was undeniably Spanish, but the wording was perfect english. "Oh" Michelle answered a little abruptly, not wishing to appear foolish. "Of course, I had forgotten what day it was, nice to meet you Ruth" Michelle smiled, Ruth returned a sheepish smile, "carry on" Michelle said, before realising she was naked. She thought for a moment that she should feel embarrassed, but decided it was too late for that! Ruth smiled again, and went over to the pool and began clearing the few leaves that had fallen into it. Michelle smiled. Charlie had thought of everything. Valerie watched from the upstairs bedroom window. She could see the confidence. She whispered to herself, "at last"
