Closer to Croft
Chapter 1
Last Day Together
"It's fantastic here isn't it?" said Sophie Simpson.
Her arms were folded and resting affectionately on David's shoulder. Her upper body was leaning into his.
David could feel her nipples nestling against his arm. "Yeah it's great," David agreed. It had been his idea, to take Sophie horse riding on their last day together, for two weeks.
But Sophie much preferred this part. It was just her and David alone in a vast field, in the Australian wilderness, sitting amongst trees that seemed to meet the sky. Two white horses standing in the back, were their only company. "You know, I'm even starting to believe that they're going to let us be together when I get back from Col and Bert's."
"Well they can't stop us can they? Not if we want it bad enough," David queried.
"Yeah, well it will help when I quit school."
"Sorry?"
"Well, in two weeks time when I get back."
"Sophie. No way, okay!"
"Yeah, but if I have a job, people will think I'm not such a kid anymore. They'll take us seriously, especially if we're living together."
"Take us seriously! They're going to think I'm ruining your life!"
"Yeah okay, well maybe it was a dumb idea, something a kid would think of."
"Listen. Don't put yourself down, alright. You're just trying to figure out a way to make it easier for us. The fact is, you're bright, and you're gonna need a good education to, you know, to reach your full potential."
"Oh, and what is that?"
"Well, I'm kinda looking forward to finding out myself, you know. Besides you're too young to move outta home."
"Well, Karen did."
"Oh, yeah; and look how far she got! Look it's not a problem okay. I'll get a job. I'll find somewhere to live, you know, I'll rent something. You can come over- you can stay whenever you want. People are just going to have to get used to the idea that we're a couple...alright?"
"Yeah well I think Pippa is already starting to."
"Well, I don't think it's going to take very long, is it?" David jested, followed by two hasty kisses. She then lifted her top so David could get a good look at the breasts he loved so much. "I can tell you one thing. I'm going to miss these two beauties."
Sophie giggled. "They're going to miss you ravishing them."
"I could stare at the pair of them all day, but you better pull your top back down, in case someone sees you. I don't really want anyone looking at my girlfriend's breasts."
The Summer Bay House
Michael Ross was ranting and raving because Sophie wasn't home yet. "I'll tell you what if he has talked her into running away with him, I'll skin him alive!"
"Hang on. I can hear a car," said Pippa. Her attitude was far more democratic, than her husband's.
"Right!"
"Yeah, it's them," said Pippa.
"I'm gonna have a word with them!"
"Michael. Please, look. They're back by five o'clock, which is when they said they'd be back. So if you can just leave this okay!"
Michael walked up to the door, and looked out. Sophie and David were kissing. But David Croft was giving Sophie a tonsillectomy, as far as he was concerned. He hoped Pippa's grand idea to keep them apart for two weeks was going to work. Yet he was doubtful. He had barely slept a wink.
