A Greek Odyssey - Jason Fic

CHAPTER 132

Jason woke at around 6am in the morning to find Lexi inching her way down his body in the semi-darkness. 'Lex, what's got into you?' he murmered sleepily, as he felt her mouth licking a tantalising trail downwards.

'Hopefully you in a minute,' she giggled, coming back up for air from under the covers and kissing him soundly on the mouth. He'd been only too happy to oblige, much to Lexi's delight.

They both had a lie-in afterwards until 11am, exhausted from their long day the day before and from Lexi's early morning wake up call.

'Morning beautiful,' Jason said, awakening to find Lexi lying next to him, a contemplative look on her face.

'Mmm morning,' Lexi replied, leaning over to kiss him.

'What are you looking so thoughtful about, Mrs Orange?' he asked.

'I'm wondering where you're whisking me off to for our honeymoon tomorrow?'

'It's a surprise,' he teased. 'And you'll find out soon enough.'

'Not even a little clue?'she wheedled. 'I'll make it worth your while, she lifted the covers as if she was going to slide her hand under them.

'I'm sure you'll try, but I don't think that's capable of any more action at the moment. So you're onto a lost cause, luv,' he lifted the bed-clothes, nodding his head down to his nether regions.

'Spoilsport,'  Lexi winked at him and flounced out of bed, pretending to be angry as she turned her back on him and sauntered into the bathroom.

Jason lay in bed and admired her pert bottom as it disappeared into the bathroom and shook his head at her curiosity. He idly thought to himself if only she knew how much of a headache their honeymoon had caused him, she'd be horrified. Not only had the airline cancelled the flight, citing lack of bookings as the reason, but he'd had to hire a private plane to get them there instead as there was no airline he could use instead, so remote was the island he had booked. It was easy enough to get from the island itself to the nearest big island, but to get there  from England was near-on impossible.

Once they were showered and changed, Jason took both sets of wedding attire down to Anna and Joe's car where Joe was putting Anna's suitcase into the boot. They had suggested looking after their wedding clothes and anything which wouldn't be needed whilst on their honeymoon, so they didn't have to return back to their house in London, before setting off for Gatwick later that day.

'You all set?' Joe asked Jason, taking the plastic suit and dress carriers off him and laying them carefully in the boot on top of Anna's case.

'Yes, I think so,' Jason replied, handing him a holdall filled with Lexi's and his wedding shoes and various bits and pieces they wouldn't be needing. He then unlocked Lexi's car and loaded their two suitcases into it for their honeymoon, along with their hand luggage, before slamming it shut and locking it.

'So, has the little minx tried to find out where you're taking her for your honeymoon yet?' Joe asked, winking at Jason. He and Anna knew where they were going and had even placed bets that Lexi would wheedle it out of him before he got her there.

'Oh, she's tried,' Jason grinned at Joe, knowing that he understood what he was getting at. 'She's employed some dirty tricks, but I still haven't told her.'

'Hmm.... She never could stand having secrets kept from her, that one.' Joe referred to Lexi, shaking his head as he thought about her. 'Do you know she never had any surprises at Christmas?' When Jason shook his head that he hadn't heard about that, he continued. 'She used to find them all, no matter where we hid them. One year she noticed one was missing on Christmas Day and told us we'd forgotten one of her presents - a Girls World make up doll I think it was. That's how we caught on that she was looking for her presents, how would she have known one was missing if she hadn't found them already, eh?' He chuckled as he thought back to that day when Lexi fixed them both with a confused stare as she sat amongst the remnants of wrapping paper and asked where her Girls World was. When we asked her how she knew she was getting one, she'd cheekily replied that she knew where we kept hers and James's presents. 'Nothing bloomin escapes that one,' he said, a smile crossing his face.
