I have had a few reviews on this, so I took it down to try it again, as normal some good and some bad, but hay not taking offence, each person just making their own point, I understand.
Well hopefully, I can get this sounding a bit better.
"Roses are red",
"Violets are blue",
"Robbie has got Laura",
"And I have you".
She smiled at such a romantic gesture.
"James, if I did not know any better, I would swear you are fishing for some good results in your appraisal?" he raised his eyebrows looking at her.
"Well, one can only try, can't we?" he said as he stood to leave her office.
He walked out the door. She looked out after him, wondering why he had such an effect on her. She could not let this interfere with work.
James returned to their office just in time to catch Laura handing Robbie a small box that contained cufflinks.
"Oh my sir, a very nice gesture on such a romantic day, oh do tell, what did you buy for the lovely lady in return?" looking from Laura to Robbie. Laura was blushing at his remark.
"Why?" he asked James.
"Curious is all", as he stood with his hands in his pockets looking at Robbie.
"A scarf, ok. I got her a scarf, happy?", as he took Laura's hand walking out of the office.
James stood there, a smirk on his face as if to say "bleeding cheapskate", "very happy sir".
Outside the station Robbie turned to Laura, "I'm sorry about that", pointing back towards the building, indicating James.
"He knows where to put his feet", he felt really guilty looking at her.
"Robbie, it's ok, I really like it", as she moved closer to him.
"No, it's not, he has ruined the surprise, cheeky sod", as he put his arms around her waist.
"Now the cat is out of the bag, do spill what was your surprise?" leaning in to kiss him.
He took her by the hand, "let's go".
"Where are we going?" she asked as he led her away towards the car park.
They drove back to their place, he brought her upstairs and handed her a suit cover, "put these on", she looked at him confused. He kissed her trying to stay calm.
"Get dressed pet", as he left her in the bedroom, he backed out to go into the other room to get dressed.
When she appeared from the bedroom, dressed in a blue floor length dress that hung off her shoulders. She had her hair fixed up. A pair of silver shoes and a bag to match.
He stood on the landing waiting for her to come out of the room. He was dressed in a tuxedo. As she appeared from the bedroom, he was in awe, "wow, you look amazing", she done a twirl for him, a sparkle in her eye as she smiled at him.
"You don't look so bad yourself", smiling back at him.
"Where did you manage to get the dress? Oh Robbie", moving closer to him kissing his cheek.
His phone rang, "any dead bodies can wait, they are not going anywhere, I have a date with a beautiful woman", as he took his phone out to answer it, she was smiling at him hearing his comment. He finished his call, putting his arm out for her to take, "your carriage awaits my lady", bringing her downstairs, out of the house.
As they left the house, there was James stood by Morse's jag.
She was truly gobsmacked by the dress, the car, where could they possibly be going?
"Oh Robbie, this is just so wonderful", just as James opened the door for her to get in. Robbie got in beside her, they held hands, looking at one another.
James drove them to the destination just outside Oxford.
They were on the outskirts of Oxford. There was a small theatre holding an opera which they both wanted to see.
To her this was truly amazing, that they finally got to the opera.
As they got out of the car Robbie took her hand as they headed inside, she felt like a princess.
After the opera, they went into the adjoining restaurant for a meal.
Sitting across the table from each other she had to ask before curiosity got the better of her.
"Robbie, how did you manage all this?" indicating from the dress to the opera, to the meal. "It is wonderful", as she took a hold of his hand across the table, he saw a tear rolling down her cheek.
"A little help", is all he said reaching up to wipe the lone tear away.
After their meal, they took a walk in the garden, she felt a slight chill on her arms, from his jacket he produced a light shawl, and he was hoping to give it to her earlier had James not disrupted him.
They sat at a table set for two, he motioned for her to sit. There was a bottle of champagne with two glasses on the table.
He poured her some champagne passing her the glass, he poured one for himself.
In the near distance they could see fireworks. Other people in the garden stopped to see the fireworks. As they were drinking and watching the fireworks, Laura put down her glass on the table, reaching for Robbie's hand, she looked he was not sitting there.
She looked around for him, there he was in front of her on one knee, and he was holding open a box containing a ring. The other people in the garden were looking towards them now. James had approached with guitar in hand and jean in tow. As he played, jean sang. On lookers were in awe.
As she looked at him, he took her hand.
"Laura, a good heart is good to find, so please be gentle with this heart of mine, you are an amazing woman, would you do me the honour of being my wonderful wife?" she put her hand to her mouth, she looked around.
She pulled Robbie to stand.
"Wow, this is such a surprise, I would never have expected that", she was still in shock.
"Is that a yes or no Laura?", as he looked down at her.
She put her arms around his waist,
"you have gone to all this effort, how could a girl refuse an offer like that, Yes Robbie, Yes I will marry you", they kissed as the crowd cheered.
They broke apart so Robbie could put the ring on her finger.
James continued to play as they danced to the music.
As the song finished, they sat down to have another drink to celebrate. They raised a glass to each other, "Mr Lewis", "Mrs Lewis", they smiled to what they were doing. It was getting late, there was a chill in the air. They made their way back to the car.
Jean was sitting in the front of the car. James opened the door for Laura and Robbie, then he got in the driver's seat beside jean.
As the happy couple sat in the back of the car, arms around one another, leaning in to lay kisses on one another, jean turned around, "congrats you two", there was no response.
She turned back to James, "I think these two need to get a room?" giggling at her comment about the happy couple.
Robbie turned to James, still with an arm around Laura, "home James, I think we need a room before your associate arrests us", nodding towards jean, it made them all laugh.
As they pulled up outside the house, Robbie and Laura got out of the car, as they said "goodnight" to each other, Laura went to open the front door, Robbie and James spoke for a few minutes before he followed Laura inside, he found her stood in the middle of the living room, she was staring at a big bunch of roses, she had the card in her hand which read 'for the soon to be Mrs Lewis', she turned to him, as tears were running down her cheeks.
As he wiped the tears away she asked, "how did you know I would say yes?" he had his hand on her waist pulling her closer, "well if you said no, this would be embarrassing", he indicated towards the flowers.
He took her in his arms, they moved together as if to dance.
He began to unzip her dress, as it fell to the floor, the sight before him was something else. She started to unbutton his shirt, sliding it down his arms, she put her arms around his neck as they kissed, and he reached around to unhook her bra. He could feel skin on skin contact, she could feel him aroused.
She reached down to unzip his trousers, they fell to the ground.
He kicked off his shoes, "this is a better dress code", and he said taking her hand leading her upstairs.
As they entered the bedroom, she noticed flower petals on the bed, which stopped her in her tracks.
"Robbie Lewis are you trying to make me cry again? For all that you have done", he stood behind her resting his hands on her hips and his head on her shoulder.
"No pet, I love you and if I don't always say it, I like to show you", this made her turn, grab his hand and pushed him towards the bed.
She had her hand on the waist band on his boxers pulling them lower, likewise he was removing her knickers.
She was in love with this man, whom she waited for, for so long, she showed him in ways she could. They made love, happy with each other, they fell asleep wrapped around one another.
Next morning Laura woke early, Robbie wrapped around her, she was looking at this man, wonderful man sleeping, she kissed his cheek, and he did not budge.
She turned her hand looking at the ring smiling to herself. He was stirring beside her, he noticed her looking at her hand, "morning", kissing her cheek.
"Are you having second thoughts?" nodding towards her hand.
"Far from it, I am just amazed at it all, last night, the flowers, you", turning on her side to face him, "how could anyone have second thoughts about you", kissing him full blown passionately on the lips.
As they parted for air his phone rang, "oh god does someone always have to disturb us?" she said picking up the phone looking at the ID, it was James. She grabbed his phone answering it.
"Hello", he knew it was not Robbie unless he suddenly sounded like a female.
"Hi Laura, I'm looking for Robbie",
"James, unless you want to be the next body on a slab, pick your timing better", as she passed the phone to Robbie giggling away.
"James, what can I do for you?" laughing at Laura's comment.
"Sorry to disturb your moment of passion, I have a problem with the jag", his voice was sounding really sorry.
This got Robbie's attention, sitting up in the bed.
"What happened James?" sounding worried about the jag and was James and jean alright.
"I brought jean on a drive after we dropped you off last night", Robbie knew there was more to it, "go on", prompting James to continue.
"We stopped at a certain spot", Laura was moving to get out of the bed, he grabbed her arm, "I need the bathroom", letting her arm go.
"The windows steamed up", now he was laughing at James.
"this is not funny Robbie, the tide started to come in, we are stranded out on the lake (a fictitious lake that can be driven to when the tide is out or low) and it's cold", still he could not keep a straight face and laughed.
Laura had got back into the bed wrapping her hands around him, he wrapped an arm around her, and he had ended the call.
"What is wrong with James?" as she was kissing his chest.
"He got stranded out at the lake with jean, he said he is cold", he still could not help laughing.
"Ah I am sure they can keep one another warm", she said as she snuggled into him.
"He could have brought her home, then they would not be cold, now enough about them", kissing her back and running his hands up and down her body.
Meanwhile back at the lake, "what did he say James?" she asked as he stood looking at his phone.
"Said he would check tide times and get back to me", she let out a laugh. He frowned at her.
"Come on, it is a bit funny James", moving closer to him.
"I should have just taken you home", as he rested his arm around her shoulder.
"I will let you take me home, when we get out of here", teasing him with kisses on his cheek.
They did not have to wait long for assistance as a local fisherman passed by in his boat.
"Hay there, you will be stuck there till at least two day's time, water levels don't change regular here", he was pointing towards the jag.
"Let me bring you both to shore for a bite to eat, the name is John Jones, me house you can see over there", pointing to a small white cottage.
"Hi john, I'm James and this is jean, thank you for your help", as they were getting into the boat.
"There have been plenty before you that have got stuck there, you will get your car back, must say it's a nice car", as he rowed back to the shore.
"Thanks, it belongs to a friend, I felt guilty telling him what happened his car", as he looked from john to jean.
At the shore, they got out of the boat, "please come in for a cuppa and a bite to eat, you must be frozen", as he was leading the way to the house.
"Thank you very much", they said in unison.
John's wife put the kettle on, john checked the tides to see when they would get the car back. It would be at least two days.
"What am I going to do, I might not get away from work to get out here on time", thinking of what decision to make.
"I know we only met, if you want, I can get it and you can collect it here", offering his assistance.
"Please don't get me wrong, I am grateful for your assistance, I don't know", he could hear the cogs turning around in his head.
"Ah sure what choice do I have, here are the keys", reaching into his jacket, "here is my number", as he handed john his card.
"Oh my, the local constabulary in a spot of bother, glad to be of assistance", shaking James' hand as he blushed with embarrassment.
"Please allow me to give you a lift home", he said to James, he replied, "thank you john".
They stayed for a cuppa and a bite to eat, john brought them back to jean's place. They thanked john and got his number so James could ring and check about the car.
They say in jean's living room, he turned to her, "do you mind if I take a shower?" she faced him to answer, "yeah, go ahead, I will get you some towels".
She showed him upstairs to the bathroom. Got some towels leaving them on the stool in the bathroom? He was almost out of his clothes, while she stood there looking at his fit body. What a body. He saw her looking, reaching at his boxers, "do you want to see some more?" she blushed and was backing out of the bathroom, he moved towards her, she bumped into the door frame and stopped.
"I don't believe my fearless boss is blushing", as he stepped out of his boxers, he then started to unbutton her blouse, there was no refusal from jean. Passion was rising in her eyes as she looked from his eyes to his lips, she began licking her lips.
He took her blouse off, reaching for the zip on her skirt, it fell to the ground.
She looked into his eyes, their lips met, his hands were busy unhooking her bra, it fell to the floor, he could feel his chest brushing against her breasts, he reached do lower her underwear as she stepped out of them.
She pushed him back as she stepped into the shower first, she turned on the water.
"Thought you wanted a shower? What you standing there for?" looking at him, he was aroused.
He was in beside her like a light.
They started to wash each other, hands caressing each other. He was rubbing her breasts, she was standing with her back to him, her hands were up behind his neck, and he was kissing down her neck.
Moving his hand over her stomach as she arched into him feeling his cock between her legs.
He moved his hand lower to her mound, feeling her clit, she let out a moan of pleasure. He entered her with his fingers, while teasing her nipples with his other hand.
"Mmmmm",
"Yes baby", as he worked harder with his fingers.
He could feel her breathing raised and nearing orgasm, "James, I want you", as she started to lower her arms to reach behind her to feel his body.
"Oh come for me, I want you", he kept up the rhythm, she did let go and came to him, letting out a little scream.
"oh baby, you are so horny", as he kissed her neck, she let him hold her before turning to kiss him, she turned the water off, lowering herself onto her knees.
She took his cock in her hand, licking the tip and taking him in her mouth, she took his balls in her other hand.
He stood with his hands to the wall, "oh jean, oh my", she looked up at him rubbing a hand over his chest.
She worked faster, "oh…..jean, I….I want to be inside you", placing his hand on her head. She did not stop until he came, sucking him until he finished and was beginning to go limp.
She stood up, his knees were like jelly, she held him, and they kissed each other.
"Oh my, you can hide under my desk anytime", as he was wrapping his arms around her waist, smiling at him.
"Likewise, if you need to hide from Robbie", as she started laughing at him, just imagining it all.
"Don't tempt me", raising an eyebrow to her.
She stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel to wrap around herself, passing a towel to James, she picked up another to start drying her hair, and James came up behind her patting her arse.
He lay on the bed, hands behind his head, with a bulge under his towel, he was looking at her to get her attention, and she saw his bulge.
"Was that not enough?" as she nodded towards his erection.
"I don't think he believes it", as he removed the towel to reveal his arousal.
He reached to her pulling at her towel which came souse and fell to the floor.
"Care to join me?" as he rolled to face her, patting the bed for her to lie beside him.
"You are a bad influence", as she lay beside him.
"You don't approve?" as he kissed her.
"oh contraire, I approve it all", as she kissed him back, his hands were moving up and down her body, her hands were resting on his chest, just feeling him.
They explored one another from top to toe, making love again until they fell asleep in one another's arms.
