Lover II- ML

320. Put A Plug In It

AN: this is *possibly* my last post for the next week or so because I'm quite busy at work and home. Hopefully I can get something out (possibly a one shot or chapter of Secret Love), but if not I hope you enjoy this chapter😁

The crickets were chirping in the grass that fell from the hill the villa was sat atop, looking down into the Mediterranean Sea while the sun above shone brightly.

Kaia had been sat out in the shade for an hour or so, letting herself relax alone and enjoy the serenity of being in her comfort place.

Sicily felt more like her home than anywhere in England. It was where all of her familiar memories were, where she could be herself, be with family and friends and live the life she always wanted.

She was a water baby for sure. She needed the water near her, she needed to surf, to take a boat out on the weekend, to feel the sun blistering above in the middle of summer and the sea breeze on her skin.

How she was still classed as 'English' to the world amused her. Because the only thing English about her was her accent, poshness and love of tea and biscuits.

"How are you feeling this morning, guapa?" Mapi asks, sitting by Kaia's feet and lifting them to shuffle under.

"Sore, tired." Kaia admits with her eyes still peacefully closed.

"And here?" Mapi gently glides her thumb over the old bruise on Kaia's foot. "Is it still causing you pain when you walk?"

"An ache." Kaia corrects. "I'll go in the pool in a minute, cool it off."

"Do you want me to get the plunge pool out?" Mapi offers. "You might need to do some therapy before we get back to Barcelona."

"That would be nice, yeah." Kaia smiles gratefully, but her eyes still don't open. "Can you get Fabian from my grandparents house?"

"Yes." Mapi agrees in amusement. "I'll go get him, then you and him can have a morning nap together out here."

"Sounds perfect." Kaia mummers, drifting off with the comfort of Mapi's thumb slowly tracing the tender skin on top of her foot.

Mapi stays put for another fifteen minutes or so, herself enjoying the peace and quiet while Kaia slept soundly at her side.

This morning they were all feeling lethargic, and Mapi wasn't surprised the other couple hadn't shown their faces downstairs yet.

She could hear them awake and see their balcony door open, but it was clear they were also taking this morning slowly.

"Bonita." Alexia reenters the bedroom, dressing in her bikini and rubbing suncream into her arms. "Can we talk about last night?"

"We can." Rosa agrees supportively, patting the bed at her side as she stretches her arms above her head. "Any regrets or do you just want to talk about it?" She wonders.

"I don't regret it." Alexia assures, sitting on the bottom of the bed to face Rosa. "But I did want to talk to you about... anal."

Rosa holds her hands up with an amused smile. "I wasn't going to do it to Kaia, I just threatened to so Mapi would race me for it." She chuckles.

"I know, I know." Alexia rolls her eyes with an amused smile of her own. "But whilst it was going on... Kaia said she wanted to do it to me."

"Oh." Rosa realises slowly, furrowing her eyebrows. "But you and I agreed..."

"Exactly." Alexia nods seriously. "Which is why I didn't answer her."
