Chapter One

"Well its ment to be a boys only weekend..." Callum Stone stressed as the five men sat round the table in the pub. Smithy sighed slightly "Oh come on mate.. she has had a rough time of it.. she needs cheering up.." Callum interupted him "No.. the only reason you have asked her is cause you wanna get into her nickers". Smithy shook his head "Do me a favour.. I care about Stevie and I wanna see her have a good time.." he paused and noticed Nate and Ben exhange looks before turning back to Callum "Look... you and Leon are sharing a tent.. Ben and Nate are in together.. Stevie can come in with me and during the day she can do her own thing... we can still go fishing and things and then in the evening she can come to the pubs with us..." Nate smiled "It is a bit like having a ball and chain Gov.. I mean how much luck are we gunna have with women with her there.." he turned towards the young PC "Well you never have any trouble finding yourself a woman.. I will look after Stevie and you lot can do what you want... alright?". The four men nodded "If she ruins this trip..." Leon began before Smithy interupted "She wont.. Stevie is a laugh.. just chill yeah.. it will be a good few days". Callum nodded "Well if anything goes wrong we will be holding you responsible Smithy". Smithy nodded "I expected nothing less.. lets just get work tomorrow out the way and then we will be on our way to Devon yeah...". Leon interupted "Yeah cause camping in November is such a great idea". The men all let out a slight laugh and finished their drinks, chatting about their plans to fish, play football and have a messy five days away from the stress of their lives in London.

He had been locked away in his office most of the morning. The previous night had taken its toll on him and his head was killing him, all he wanted was to go and lay in a dark room and sleep but here he was on a Sunday with only the local drunks from the previous night in custody to deal with. He glanced to the door as a loud bang sounded the room. "Come in" he called and he glanced to the small blonde detective "What are you doing here?" he asked, knowing she very rarely worked on a Sunday "I have come to see my favourite Inspector.." she pushed the door closed and headed over to the seat oppisite him "Have you managed to clear things with Callum... cause I can stay at home if..." he interupted "Dont be daft.. they were fine and I for one am really glad you are coming.. I cant wait..". She smiled "Ok great.. thanks again.. I know it was ment to be a lads holiday and I really do appriciate you all letting me come.. I just need to get away..". He nodded "Its ok.. the job can be stressfull and you have had a tough few weeks since your Dad..." she glanced down and he smiled "Im sorry". She shook her head "Listen.. why dont I come round tonight... I can help you pack and we can crack open a bottle of something?". He nodded "Sounds great... we can order a pizza.. we are setting off early in the morning so why dont you bring your stuff and we can get off from mine?". She nodded "Ok.. see you tonight Smithy.. have fun.." she moved towards the door and turned back to him a cheeky grin outlinning her face "Oh and here..." she rummaged in her pocket and chucked a packet of paracetomol at him "Try and not look to hungover".

She began to pack her things into her bag, the last few months had been tough, her father had passed away so suddenley a few months ago and she was sure without Smithy there to hold her hand at the funeral she wouldnt of gotten through it. He was the best friend she could ask for and he stood by her through everything. She packed nearly all her clothes into her four bags and every pair of heels she owned. She wanted to be prepaired for every occasion. She wanted it to be a great five days with Smithy and the other Sunhill uniformed men, she got on well with all of them and she was really looking foward to getting to know them better. She loved Smithy to pieces and she wanted some more friends like him so maybe this was the perfect chance to make them. She chucked her bags into the back of her waiting taxi and smiled "Sixty two Clayton Road please" she spoke to the driver before sliding into the back of the car. She was looking foward to an evening with her best friend. The drive took normally about ten minutes but she had been sat in the back of the taxi twenty five minutes in the traffic jam when her phone rang. "Hello.." she smiled "Hi Stevie... I just wondered where you were at?". She sighed "Stuck in traffic.. its a nightmare Smithy.. I dont think Im ever gunna make it to yours..". He sighed "Ok.. I was gunna order the pizza". She smiled leaning in towards the driver "How long roughly?" she asked. "Hard to say love.. we are five minutes away..." Smithy spoke and she drowned out the older man in the front of the car "Where are you?". She glanced out the window "Turpin road... there are road works". He sounded rushed "Ok.. I will walk and meet you.. stay there" he hung up. With in five minutes she saw him heading down the road, she opened the window and shouted to him, he crossed the road to her and climbed into the back of the taxi "Im sorry..." she smiled as he gently kissed her cheek "Dont be daft Moss... come on.. we can walk" he passed the driver twenty pounds and climbed back out the taxi, the driver had pulled the boot open and he glanced at her bags "We are going for five days Moss... is this all really necessary?". She nodded "You never know what you might need" he gestured to the bag of shoes as he pulled them from the car "You will sink in these heels if you try and walk in the mud in them". They headed back down the road towards his flat and she watched as he struggled with her bags "You want me to take one?". He shook his head "No.. your ok.. I enjoy being a camel" he smirked slightly.

They had finished their pizza and had started packing his things, they had been at it about half an hour when he disapeared, when he returned a few moments later he had two bottles of beer and a black bin bag "Whats that for?" she asked as she sent him a shy smile "I thought I could stick some stuff in here for the charity shop why we are at it". She nodded slightly "Ok what you planning on getting rid of?". He gestured to a pile of shirts he had placed on the end of the bed "Some old shirts.. I dont wear any of them any more". She grabbed for one "Smithy.. this is designer.." he nodded "Yeah I know..." he took the blue top from her fingers "Most of them are.. but I dont wear them.." she interupted "But I could.." she took it back from him "Oh yeah?" he asked looking amused "And where are you gunna wear it?". She smiled "In bed... there is nothing more comfy than wearing a mans top in bed.." he interupted "Or sexy... your not having it" he pulled it back from her fingers and pushed it into the binlinner. "They are going to the charity shop..". She sighed as he pulled the rest from the bed into the bag. "I want my nike jumper out that cupboard to take away.. can you grab it..". She moved from the bed and took the hoody from the coat hanger and passed it to him before moving to the binlinner and taking the blue shirt back out "Put it back" he spoke and she turned to him, wondering how he managed to read her so easily. "Its just one Smithy.. I will give you a couple of quid for the charity shop". He watched as she stood infront of the mirror holding the shirt against her. "It will look pretty sexy eh Smithy?". He sighed as she moved towards the bed and rested down "Stevie.. I dont.." she interupted "Maybe I could even wear it while we are away". She smirked to him as he grabbed for it "Dont be so God damn selfish Inspector Smith". He lent for it again and she shoved it behind her back "No.. share Smithy". He grabbed for her hands and smiled as he pinned her onto the bed. "Give me my shirt back DS Moss..." she interupted as she layed on it "I want it Smithy... dont be so nasty.." he grinned "No.. you aint having it..". She grinned "Why cause it will turn you on.. me naked in your clothes.." she noticed him glance over her body and she laughed "Thats it.. you dont want to see me wearing it?". He smiled "No.. its not.." he noticed her chuckle slightly and he frowned "Dont laugh at me Moss". She smiled as she lent up placing her lips to his, he allowed her to kiss him for a few seconds before she pulled away, he stared into her eyes for a few seconds before he pressed his soft lips back to hers, he kissed her so gently, his hands moved from pinning her to the bed to her hands, holding her so gently as his tounge begged for entrance which after a few more seconds she granted him. His lips moved slowly over hers, his tounge massaging hers. She pulled from him and shock covered his face "Im sorry.. I shouldnt of done that.." he moved from her body and smiled slightly at her "You can erm.. you can keep the shirt". She nodded slightly, licking her lips "I erm I better go to bed". He smiled as she rose to her feet, grabbing the shirt and heading for the door "Is the spare bed made up?" she asked and he nodded "Stevie.. Im so..." she interupted "Dont Smithy.. its fine.. I will see you in the morning" she walked out the room and rushed towards his spare bedroom, once inside she pushed the door shut. "Wow" she whispeared to herself as she hugged the shirt into her chest. Smithy had just made a pass at her, or had she made a pass at him? it was all a bit of a blur but all she did know was it had been the most amazing kiss of her life and she couldnt of been happier it had happened.

"Na.. Stevie is here..." he sighed down the phone as he sat on his bed, Callum had rung to invite him to the pub, which to be completly honest even if she wasnt there he wasnt keen on another drunken night. "Oh really?" Callums voice sounded amused and Smithy smiled to himself "She came here to help me pack". He could hear Callums smirk "Sounds like something a girlfriend would do if you ask me" Smithy sighed "Well I didnt ask you.. so shut your mouth" Callum laughed down the phone "Are you shaging her?" Smithy was quite taken aback by his bluntness "No.. Im not.. me and Stevie are friends.." Callum interupted "Corse mate.. see you tomorrow at nine". Smithy smiled to himself "Yes boss... see you tomorrow". He hung up and smiled to himself, he really liked Stevie and his heart had skipped a million beats when she had kissed him. She kissed him, did this mean she liked him too? Was they finally gunna get their friendship to the next level. Because however Callum dressed it up, he did want her, all the crude coments he made were true, he really really wanted her and now he had a slight sign she wanted him too, maybe this trip was going to work out better than he had ever imagined.
