Get Ready For It - A Gary Barlow FF

Chapter 55

After Sophie and I wore ourselves out completely with our 3rd sex session of the afternoon - I can't help myself when it comes to this girl - we are putting the finishing touches to getting ready to head to dinner and then to meet up with the others for some drinks afterward.

''You almost ready, Soph? The restaurant is about a 10-minute walk and our reservations are for 7.00!'' I call through to the en-suite as I glance once more at the clock in the bedroom;

18:36

''Yeah, just putting on some lippy now and then I'm all set'' she calls back just before the door to the en-suite opens beside me.

''All set. How do I look?''

I spin around to look at her and my jaw hits the floor. How does she look? Words cannot even begin to describe just how good she's looking right now. The only thought that comes to mind, is how some regular lad from Cheshire managed to get to call this girl his, is beyond me?!

''Babe, you look absolutely stunning. You look beautiful''

I can't stop myself from reaching out to grab her hand and pull her close to me so that her lips crash on to mine in a short but passionate kiss. We haven't even left the villa for the restaurant and she's already got me on a semi. This dinner is going to be torture, but at least I'll get to make love to my gorgeous girlfriend when we get home.

''I guess we'll just have to take care of this when we get home, right?'' she says as she softly palms me through my shorts before spinning on her heel and heads for the door.

''You're a cruel woman, Ms. Brooks'' I call after her, as I grab my wallet, phone and keys to the villa and follow her through the house, out the door and towards the strip where the restaurant is, leaving the door to swing shut behind us.

We arrive at the restaurant about 15 minutes later after strolling hand in hand along the waterfront here in Cape Verde. The water is so blue and inviting. We will definitely be spending some time at the beach tomorrow. Need to Sophie in a bikini so that I can show her off as she's absolutely gorgeous. Why wouldn't I want to show her off?

We arrive at Restaurante Pica Pau, a traditional Cape Verde eatery where we can get all sort of cuisine Lobster to Steak and everything in between. We get to the entrance and the lady at the door greets us with a big smile.

''Good evening and welcome to Pica Pau. Do you have a table reserved?''

''Evening. Yes, we do. Under the name Barlow. B-A-R-L-O-W'' I smile at her, spelling it out just like I did on the phone when I booked it last week, and by the sounds of her voice, it must be the same lady.

''Oh, Mr. Barlow. I spoke with you on the phone. How nice to finally meet you. Welcome to Sao Vicente, sir. Please follow me to your table'' she gives her a curt bow of the head and beckons us to follow her through the restaurant and out on to the veranda.

This place is absolutely beautiful. We are sitting out on the veranda and the views are just immaculate. There is an ocean for miles and miles on our left and wonderful green trees to our right which gives us a lovely shade from the sun as it continues to set to our left over the water's horizon.

''Wow, this place is beautiful. It's gorgeous. The water is so blue!'' Sophie breathes out as we take our seats before the waiter places a menu in front of both of us.

''It is indeed, babe. Glad I booked this place now'' I smile at her as I wave to the other 3 who have just arrived and taken their table on the other side of the restaurant.

''The others are here now. We'll see them afterward at the bar for a few drinks. I think this is going to be a fun holiday, baby'' I smile at Sophie as we both give a little wave at Sam, Jessica and Danny as they do are handed the menus and begin deciding what they want to have for dinner.

''Wow, that was delicious. Absolutely beautiful, fresh food'' I breathe out, patting my tummy lightly as I swallow the last bite of my lobster and wash it down with a mouthful of red wine.

''Mmmhh, couldn't agree more. That was yummy'' Sophie smiles back at me as she reaches for the bottle of red and tops up both of our glasses.

''So, what's on the Barlow holiday agenda for the next couple of days? We're not just going to spend days dying in bed, are we?'' Sophie smiles at me, casually tilting her head back towards the table just inside the door where the two youngest are seated.

''Oh, no. Not at all. Well, I wouldn't mind spending all day in bed with you. I would do that every day if I could. Just not so keen on the dying part'' I wink back at her, sticking my tongue out at her slightly to cease the filthy thoughts and sheer naughtiness stemming from my mid-section right about now.

''Believe me, Gary. I would love to have you in between my legs all the time also, but there's so much to see here. Can we see one or two of the other islands before we head back? Would that be okay?''

I shake my head slightly at her question.

'Is that okay?'

Of course, it'd be okay!

''Of course, babe! I was planning on that anyway, which is why tomorrow at 10AM we are taking a boat to 3 of the other islands. We have lunch booked for 1 o'clock on the island of São Nicolau and then we are spending the afternoon visiting both Boa Vista and Sal. I've heard there are some interesting things to see on both of those islands'' I smile at her as the waitress comes and takes our empty plates from our table.

''Then, we will come back here around 6 or so, have a shower and a little rest, then we are heading to the bigger of the islands, Santiago for a very special meal. Don't bother asking me about it, because I won't tell you anything''

Making the gesture of zipping my lips shut and throwing away the key, I sit back proudly into my seat and take another mouthful of wine, as the sun fully sets over the horizon to the right of where we're sitting. Sophie makes a dramatic pout face in my direction before letting a small giggle escape her lips which is followed shortly by my laugh also.

We see the other three guys get up from their table and head over to where we are sitting.

''Evening. How are you? Was your meal as good as ours?'' Sam says, as he approaches our table and stands next to me, while Jessica and Danny line up beside him.

''Well if your meal was half as good as ours was, then yours must have been delicious. It was gorgeous food'' I smile back at him, patting him on the arm as I also stand up from the table to stretch out my legs.

''What're your plans for the evening then?'' Sophie smiles at Jessica as she drains the final drops from her glass of wine.

''We were actually just talking about that. We saw a bar up the road a little earlier and it seems to be a nice place, so we were going to head there for a few drinks if you both would like to join us. It won't be a very late night, as we're sure that the jet lag will kick in in a few hours, so we'll all crash a little later on'' Jessica smiles at us as Sophie also joins us on our feet and steps away from the table.

I notice the waiter approach us and I handed him my card and inform him to take for both meals which earlier drew some fight from the other guys but I insisted. I mean, it's not like I can't afford it, right?

After many thanks from the other three, we all set off out towards the door of the restaurant and after bidding our farewell to the team and having a few photos with the team after they recognized who I was, we set off in search of this bar that Jessica mentioned before.

This should be a nice chilled evening to end a beautiful first day in Cape Verde.
