Get It Straight, Or Say Good Night

Tahiti (wings, fins and rolling seas)

"It's a shame, it is" Louise stated as she settled back in the plane seat. Evie clung to John as he tried to untangle her from him so he could lift the carry-on bag into the overhead locker "Why did the four of you decide- two to Tahiti and two to ..... Where are they going again?"

"Lou I've told you a hundred or more times now. Richie and Paul are going to the Virgin Islands" John finally managed to get Evie to go to Lou, he was favourite these days.

Louise was always stop this, stop that with the bub but John let her get into any old thing. Much to Louise's horror Evie had spread lipstick from one end of the kitchen to the other just days ago. All John could do was snigger and reprimand Lou for leaving her bag down on the floor then cuddle Evie while Lou was stomping about trying to clean all the mess.

"Trust Paulie, the Virgin Islands. Won't be many left by the time he's run rampant" Louise grinned at her joke "Oh no he won't, Janes going, right? hmmmmm" Louise didn't see Jane much. What with Janes hectic high-flying life as an actress, staying at far flung locations like Surrey and Yarmouth, note the sarcasm.. Jane was never about.

Louise felt inferior to Jane and that in itself was a recipe for disaster. John tended to tell Paul to clear off on the odd occasion Jane was in town. She was a bit iffy with John too, he felt she thought she was better than his humble self. Lou was trying though, calling Jane and asking her how she was when she was in town or going to the shops and lunch with the girls.

Lou was also trying to gain some sort of hold on her life, everything had gone to pot when she had Evie, no longer working Lou felt like she was a dead weight around Johns neck at times. He never breathed a bad word about her mooching but Lou wanted to get into the photography again as it could be done with the lads and she could sell the images too- bonus!

She snapped a picture of Evie blowing a raspberry at John then took the large camera from around her neck, dropping it carefully to the floor, the leather strap anchored to her leg.

"Paul won't be getting any air to his genitals this trip!" John spoke that revelation rather loudly and laughed at his joke as George turned about in his seat with a deathly stare.

Pattie the new girlfriend sat beside him, tugging at her bottom lip with embarrassment.

John and Lou were so going to scare her to death George had thought to himself as he climbed the steps to board the plane. Lou had already been teasing John in the motor on the way to the airport. Teasing John about going without for the entire duration of the flight because the toilet compartment on the plane wouldn't accommodate their own brand of shenanigans.

George glanced at the ceiling- Lord give me strength .... and a chip butty, well some nuts at least. Could do with some nuts and a soda right about now. George stared at the in-flight newspaper and then glanced over to look at his travel mate. Pattie smiled and George fell a little more in love with the pretty model.

"You sorted a babysitter didn't you, Louise" George played peek-a-boo through the small section of seat as he interrogated Louise "I'll mind her for a bit but Pattie and I are not being your personal babysitting service"

"Oh, I thought Pattie would like that, wouldn't you Pattie? Evie liked your pig tails the other day" Lou teased George, Pattie wouldn't say no, especially since Lou was Georges sister and she wanted to be seen in a pleasant light.

"Louise" George grumbled.

"She's only joking George. We have a sitter sorted.. super skinny sexy sitters in shorties sorted successfully" John laughed as he spluttered out the tongue twister with Lou smacking his arm about the sexy sitter bit.
