Chapter One
Sitting round a table in the pub the seven ocupants where in excited chatter. Callum was first to rise from his seat at half nine. "Right come on you lot... we got a flight to catch in the morning and anyone who is not ready will be left behind". The others all groaned finishing their drinks. "You need to all be at mine by seven tomorrow morning... the taxi is booked for half past" Smithy cut in. Mel and Kirsty rose from there seats making there way to the door with Callum close behind them chatting about sharing a taxi home. Nate and Leon both stood about ten minutes later saying goodbye to Smithy and Stevie then leaving. Smithy and Stevie left soon after them.
When Smithys door bell rang he began down the stairs to answer it. "Hello" he groaned to a half asleep Nate before glancing at the time on his phone 6.30. Nate smiled "Sorry Im early... I couldnt sleep". Smithy laughed lightly "You big kid". He gestured to the living room "Make yourself at home mate... Im just gunna have a shower". Smithy made his way back up the stairs. Nate went into the large room, it was the first time he had been in Smithys, he glanced at the many photos hanging on the walls, most of them of their work colleagues. Hearing the footsteps coming down the stairs, Nate called into the hall way "Shall I put the kettle on Smithy?". He wandered out into the hall and smiled to the small woman digging into a suitcase, "Well your not Smithy?". Stevie gestured to her body "Really? what gave me away?". Nate grinned "You stay the night?". Stevie smirked at him "Is that really any of your buisness PC Roberts?". As Smithy jogged down the stairs he glanced between the pair before resting his eyes on where Stevie lent on the stair banister in her nighty "Are you gunna get dressed Moss or you wont be coming?". Stevie nodded "Yes.. I have been waiting for you to finish in the bathroom, your worse than a woman". She skipped up the stairs as the door bell rang once again. Smithy pulled the door open to reveal Callum, Mel and kirsty the other side. "You alright guys, come in". He had just shut the door and entered the living room when the door bell sounded through the house again. He returned to the living room with Leon in tow, who promptly took a seat next to Kirsty. "So we are just waiting for Stevie?" Callum sighed. Smithy shook his head "No.. she is upstairs. Nate cut in "Yeah DS Moss stayed the night." Smithy glared at him "Its not like that", before heading to the bottom of the stairs and calling up "Moss.. shift your arse or we will leave you behind". Nate lent into Callums ear "Tenner says them to are at it before the end of the holiday". Callum smiled, holding his hand out to shake Nates "Deal... but I bet they aint the only ones" he gestured to Leon and Kirsty deep in huddled conversation.
A few hours later they arrived at their hotel in Spain, Smithy approached the checkin as the others all sat down in the large seats in the waiting area. "We have two rooms booked..." Smithy smiled to the woman behind the counter. "One under the name of Dale Smith, the other Kirsty Knight". The lady smiled "Ok..." she checked the conformation that he held in his hand before passing him the keys. As he returned to his friends he grinned "Right ladies your in room 306, its on the second floor... we are in 549 on the third floor guys". Stevie took the key from him and smirked "And whats the betting you four got the better room". He grinned as the girls walked in the direction of the lift.
Glanicing around the small apartment Stevie sighed "I bet there room is nicer". Mel nodded "This is like a box". Kirsty came up behind them and sighed "Right... well there is only two beds... and that" she gestured to the small pull out sofa. Stevie glanced between the two, "Rock, paper, scissors?". Mel smiled "Guess that will decide for us". The three played the game, Kirsty winning the first round and walked off in direction of the small double bedroom. Mel won the second round and cheered as she dragged her large suitcase towards the single bedroom. Stevie was horrified to find herself on the sofa bed, she glared at it making her way into the small kitchen and glancing out of the window. Kirsty and Mel returned a few minutes later and smiled to Stevie. "Its not that bad.. its probably more comfatable than it looks". The three rested onto the small sofa glaring round their tiny home for the next week "Or not" Mel sighed. Stevie stood up "Im gunna go and see what the guys room is like" before making her way to the door.
The men arrived at their room and couldnt help the excitment that filled them. Smithy was first to claim a room, the double bed room with a kingsized bed ensuite and balcony. Nate claimed the second, a large double room. Leon moved his bag into the small twin bedroom and glanced at the two single beds. "Looks like we are sharing serge" he called to callum. Callum sighed "There goes my chance of a holiday fling". Stevie banged on the door, as Nate opened it she marched in "This place is dis..." she stopped mid sentence staring round the mens apartment. She glared at Nate "Our room isnt even half the size of this... Im sleeping on a sofa" she moaned. she stared at Nate "Have you got a spare bed in this room". He shook his head "No... Callum and Leon are already sharing a room". She groaned "Fine.. I will sleep on a poxy sofa". As Mel and Kirsty entered the room Stevie gestured to them "How unfair is this... Our apartment is tiny compared to this". Mel nodded "Yeah I bet Smithy set it up when he checked us in... made sure they got the nicer room" Nate smiled "We had to have the bigger room.. there is more of us". Stevie glared at Nate and he pointed in the direction of Smithys bedroom, already knowing she was after the Inspector "He is in there" he sighed turning back to the two women "Rather him than me". Kirsty smiled "Where is Leon?" he gestured to the twin bedroom and she walked off.
Mel and Nate rested down onto the large sofas and were soon joined by Callum. "What is the plan for tonight then?" he asked.
Mel smiled "Dinner then walk along the beach". The two men sighed "Yeah alright but we pick what we do tomorrow". Mel nodded "Whatever you pick it cant be that bad". Kirsty smiled sitting down onto Leons bed "So you are sharing with the skipper... bad luck". Leon smiled chucking a pillow at her "So what is you room like?". She smiled "A box... but I have got a double bed all to myself". He smiled running his eyes up and down her "Perfect chance for a holiday romance". She nodded watching as he pulled his things into a drawer "Exactly what I was thinking". Stevie slumped down onto his bed and sighed "I am sleeping on a sofa Smithy" he couldnt help but laugh. "Oh... Im glad you find it funny... your room is bigger than our apartment Smithy". He sighed "If it is that bad complain". Stevie shook her head "Whats the point". Smithy gestured to his king sized bed "If it gets that bad.. you can share with me". Stevie smirked "That is the worst pick up line I have ever heard". Smithy laughed as he opened the door to his balcony "Enjoy your sofa Moss". She got up following him outside "Swap with me". He stared at her for a second "Your actually serious arent you?". Stevie nodded "No chance Moss... Im not giving my room up for no one". She sighed glancing at the view of the beach. "You even have a great view", he smiled "What is your view of?" he asked. She glared up at him "The carpark". Smithy couldnt help but laugh, his laugh came to an end as her hand smacked the back of his head and she marched towards the door. "Oi Moss..." he called, she turned back to him "Its a criminal offence to assult a police officer... athough a cell might be better than your room". She mocked a laugh before stalking from the room.
The officers all enjoyed a nice dinner before making there way to the beach, all except Nate. They all slumped down staring out at the dark night. "It really is beautiful" Mel smiled leaning back into Callums body slightly. Kirsty grinned "What are we doing tomorrow?" she asked. Callum chuckled "We thought we could come and play a game of footy on the beach". Stevie glared at him "Oh yeah... that sounds like fun". Smithy grinned at her "You dont have to play... you can just sunbave". She glared at him "No we will play.. but why dont we make it a bit more interesting". The men all watched as she stood up "If we win... we swap apartments". Smithy smiled "And if we win?". She grinned at Mel before resting her eyes on Smithy "We can all go swimming tomorrow night". Callum shook his head "How is that a good thing for us?". Stevie laughed "Cause the girls will go skinnydipping" Kirsty sent her an awkward look "Stevie Im not sure". Stevie smiled at her "Ok.. I will.." she turned to Mel and she nodded "And Mel will. Smithy smiled between Leon and Callum before raising his hand to Stevie "Your on". Nate came jogging over sliding down next to Leon "Her name is Bella and Im meeting her tomorrow morning" he grinned gesturing back to the resturant they had just left. Leon grinned "You have pulled already and we havent even been her a day... do you never stop?".
