"Ahhhhhhh, yes!" Tess rubbed her hands together gleefully. "It's the
perfect crime!"
"Yes, the perfect crime," Josh agreed.
"Let us toast," suggested Jonesy.
"And to what shall we toast Ev?" asked Josh.
"To well kept secrets," Jonesy says.
"To well kept secrets," they say in unison, clinking their champagne
glasses together.
"Hey Jonesy! Check out the tan! Where've you been?" joked Ben. "Yes, do tell," said Jo in a whiny voice.
"Oh, you know. My grandmas house," Jonesy taunts. He strolls into the locker room whistling. Tess enters the office.
" Bula Boss," calls Tess.
"Bula to you too. We'll dispense of the nose rubbing if you don't mind," Tom replies. "Hey, they don't do that in Fiji, she tells him.
"Fiji?" Jo says looking puzzled.
"You went right across the pacific in three days?" Tom aks.
"I had a special reason."
"Well go on spit it out. What was so special you had to go to Fiji for?" Jo asks eagerly.
"I got married." Tess informs them, holding out her hand for inspection.
"What? Well, who to?" Jo asks. "Well to Josh of course! Who else is there?" "What?" says everyone, staring at her. "Why didn't you tell us?" "Just thought I'd surprise you. Well I'm going to put my bag in the locker room," Tess calls as she wanders off. They all look after her in amazement.
"Hey," Tess greets Jonesy. She enters the locker room and closes the door behind her. "I missed you gorgeous," Jonesy says, before kissing her. "How was the ceremony?" "Oh, it was, you know, alright," she tells him. "The usual." "What you've done this before?" Jonesy asks jokingly. "Nah but a wedding is a wedding," Tess says. "Well," Jonesy changes the subject, "Did they buy it?" "Yeh, I think so," she tells him. "That's great. All according to plan," he says, grinning. "Yup," she agrees. "Now, are you the one crying or am I?" Jonesy asks her. "Oh, the distress act suits you much better," Tess says laughing.
Tess and Jonesy both emerge from the locker room looking very unhappy. Tess has tears in her eyes and Jonesy is scowling, looking at the ground. They both glance at each other and walk off in opposite directions leaving the rest of the office staring in sheer disbelief. "Well what do you think." Jo begins. Don't start Parish, don't start," Tom warns her.
"Boss, I have to go out for a while," Tess says, remerging once again. "Where?" asks Jo. "Parish!" Tom warns. "Alright sergeant, be back as soon as you can." "Thanks boss."
"Psssssst, Josh," Josh turns around but can't see anyone. "Josh." The voice comes again. Suddenly a hand reaches out and grabs him by the collar, pulling him backwards. He disappears and the door slams behind him. "Tess," Josh exclaims. "There are better ways to attract my attention. Why are we in here?" he asks her, indicating to the storage cupboard she had dragged him into. "Just wanted to tell you that all is going to plan," she says excitedly. "Excellent," he smiles. "Tess, I can't thank you enough." "No worries," she tells him, "Friends help each other out, right?" "Yes they do. Now does my new wife have time for a stroll around the gardens?" "Sure, why not? We are newlyweds!" Tess laughs. "Lets go then!" Josh smiles.
Back in the office.
"Well?" Jo says, standing over Jonesy with her arms crossed. "Well what?" he mutters, barely glancing up. "What is going on?" she demands. "How should I know? Will you just go, leave me alone!" he snaps. "But Jonesy, you must feel something? Tess just married another guy and we all know you have a thing for her." "Jo, this isn't really any of your business I just wish." Jonesy is cut off as Tess enters the office. "Your back!" Jo says gleefully, with an excited expression on her face like a kid who'd just been given a chocolate bar. "Yes I am," stated Tess, matter of factly. "Great, she's back," Jonesy mutters sarcastically. "If anyone wants me I'll be in my office," Tess says. "So."says Jo to Tess' retreating back, "What have you just been up to?" "Jo.mind your own business" sighs Tess as Jo proceeds to follow her. "But." Jo protests, only to be cut off by Tess shutting the door in her face.
Ahhh, it's been a long day Tess though to herself. She turned the keys in the lock and dumped her bag on the ground the second she stepped in the door. Now to wait, she thought to herself. Putting the kettle on she sat down on the lounge.
"Hey it's only me," called a familiar voice. Jonesy! Tess hurried to greet him. "God, I thought today was going to last forever!" she told him. "It's ok, I'm here now!" he grins. She pulled him onto the lounge and they begin to kiss. Just when they were getting into it they were interrupted by.*knock knock* "I'll get it," Tess says, "Oh, hi Josh." "Hey mate," says Jonesy, appearing behind her. "How are you?" "Great, just great! Errm.I hope you don't mind but.I.err.brought a friend." A man appeared beside Josh. "Mr Frederickson."Tess and Jonesy both gasp.
