A few days after their surprise wedding and after having not been seen since, Clarisse and Joseph made plans yesterday to fly to Italy today for a 2 week honeymoon, staying at Joseph's private beach house in the town he grew up.
Just after 8am Joseph stirred, opening his eyes a few moments later with a smile when he realized that Clarisse was snuggled up to him, her head resting on his chest, her arm extended around his waist as he gently caressed the back of her shoulder as his arm rested around her back, remembering the very late night they shared the night before.
As he lay smiling he suddenly heard a buzzing sound, lifting his head he wondered if it was a bug that had got into their room, climbing out of bed he made his way slowly around the bed getting closer and closer to the noise when he realized it was his phone vibrating in his trouser pockets.
Grabbing the phone quickly just missing the call, seeing it was Sophia calling, he wondered whether to call her back or not but before he could actually do anything she called again, realizing something must be up, he pressed answer and hurried out of the bedroom, pulling up the door behind him while putting the phone up to his ear.
"Sophia, what's wrong?" He asked, trying to stay calm.
"I'm sorry to call you so early Dad, but this is important." She paused "Can you talk, is it safe?" She asked.
"How safe do you mean?" He wondered.
"I mean is Mom anywhere near you?" She asked, and even though she couldn't see him she knew he was smiling at her calling her Mom, again.
Grinning to himself while shaking his head "No she's sleeping, what's going on?" He asked while moving away from the door and disappeared out onto the balcony over looking his garden.
"Well you know my friend, Paul? Who works at the local paper?" She asked.
"Yeah, what about him?" He asked.
"He called me about half hour ago, someone is trying to sell pictures of Mom," She paused "He sent me the email from his work, that he shouldn't of sent but did, I have just forwarded it to you." She stopped "Dad, these aren't everyday pictures that one would find in a gossip magazine, these are personal photos, BUT before you jump to the wrong idea, they aren't naked pictures, just of Mom having personal time and some private family photos."
"What?" He exclaimed while turning his back to the door "How personal?"
"You need to check the email," She said "You need to see for yourself."
"Ok, hold on." He said walking back through to the suite and grabbed his laptop "Just give me a few moments, ok?"
"Ok," She said "I talked to my lawyer before calling you, he's trying to get a block put on them and wants to get the Police involved, to find the person who has these photos."
"Who else knows about these?"
"Just me, the paper guys and now you." Sophia answered.
"Ok, please keep it that way for now." He said putting in his password and waited for it to load.
"Of course, I am trying to protect Mom best I can, just hoping no one actually buys them or the whole world would see." She sighed.
"I know," He said clicking to open his browser "Nearly there." He whispered.
"Ok," She answered.
A few seconds later, Sophia heard the long sigh that she knew was coming as he flicked through the pictures he had been sent, sure they weren't photo's of her in a revealing way, but they were still personal and private and would be a big pay packet for someone if they managed to sell them to the wrong people.
"You saw them then?" She asked.
"Yes," He said going through them again "I see what you mean, ok." He nodded "I will call my lawyer about this and tell him to get in contact with your lawyer, who is right the Police need to be involved and tell them to look at Peter, only he could of took these." He sighed and rubbed his forehead with his free hand.
"Ok," She said "I'm sorry to call you with this today of all days, but Dad," She whispered "Don't worry about it, I will deal with everything so you and Mom can still go and have a nice honeymoon."
"It needed to be done, but thank you for calling and letting us know and please thank your friend from me." He added and closed his laptop "I will try, but if Clari find's out about this before hand, she won't want to go, you know that right?" He asked.
"I know, that's why I came to you first." She answered "And hopefully she won't need to find out, until you arrive home in two weeks."
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Anyway Dad, I have to go and see what I can do." She said "Love you, goodbye."
"Bye darling." He said and hung up, looking at his phone for a few seconds before calling his lawyer and gave him Sophia's number.
After putting his laptop away he went back to bed, slowly climbing in beside Clarisse as not to wake her, smiling as she rolled over and rested her head on his chest and extended her arm around his waist again.
"Who was on the phone?" She asked.
"Oh Sophia, she wanted to ask me something." He answered and watched her lift her head.
"Your lying, I could hear it in your voice?" She asked.
"Does it matter?" He asked.
She went to say something but ended up gasping when he grabbed hold of her, rolling them over so he was on top and kissed her, then tickled her to make her laugh "That's not fair." She exclaimed and continued laughing as Joseph started laughing.
Resting his body on her's, he kissed her slowly as she snaked her arms around his neck.
A short time later Joseph was down in the kitchen trying to sort out some breakfast for Clarisse to have in bed, hoping to get it done before she awoke, only as he stood drinking his coffee he heard her whistling to herself as she made her way to the kitchen, turning round he saw her walking through the door in her dressing gown.
"Good morning," She smiled while standing in front of him.
"You aren't meant to be up yet," He said putting his hand on her arm and lowered his head, kissing her a couple times "I wanted to bring you breakfast in bed." He whispered with a smile.
"Well how about we have it out on the terrace instead?" She asked, taking his coffee and held it in both hands while taking a sip.
"That sounds good too," He smiled and watched her put the cup down, then stood really close to him "Did you sleep well?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"I did, but you woke me when you climbed out, I think it's cause it's a different bed." She smiled while putting her hands on the counter behind him as she rested against his front "Will take a little while to get used to." She smiled up at him.
He nodded and looked down in her eyes "You look so beautiful in the mornings," He smiled and kissed her nose.
"So do you." She smiled "Are you going to tell me yet, why Sophia called you so early?" She asked.
"Nope," He laughed a little while moving his arms down, wrapping them around her waist.
"Why not?" She asked while putting her hands up onto the top of his arms.
"Because I'm not." He whispered and kissed her a couple times as the timer went off.
"Ahh breakfast?" She asked with a smile.
"Yep," He nodded and watched her step back "I will get the food, how about you get the drinks?" He asked.
"Ok," She smiled at him.
After having breakfast out on the terrace, they remained out there for a little while longer, planning their honeymoon, sitting close and holding hands.
"Are you going to join me for a swim in the sea while we are there?" Joseph smiled as Clarisse looked back at him.
"I may do," She smiled and sipped some more of her juice.
"Great, I get to see you in that sexy swimsuit you bought yesterday," He smirked as she looked at him "What kind is it? A Bikini?" He asked with a cheeky smile as she started laughing.
"In your dreams," She smiled as he brought her hand up and kissed her palm "I haven't worn one of them since, well since ever actually." She said looking out at the flowers.
"Oh come on," He smirked as she looked back at him "I think you'd look very sexy in one." He smirked as she shook her head "Oh come on Clari, it is our private beach no one will see." He said and sipped his coffee as Clarisse looked at him, when he looked at her he smiled "What?"
"You said Our private beach house?" She questioned.
"Yeah, ours, because that's what it is now." He grinned while playing with her fingers "What's mine is yours now remember?" He smiled.
"That's so sweet, thank you." She smiled while leaning closer and kissed him a couple times "The same goes for you of course," She grinned while sitting back and sipped her juice before putting the glass back on the table.
Smiling to himself as she looked at him "Actually, I was just thinking?" He grinned at her.
"Oh dear what were you thinking?" She asked with a small smile.
"Well because it's our own private beach, why do we need to wear anything at all?" He smirked "We could swim naked." He chuckled as she laughed out loud.
"In your dreams Mr Elizondo." She chuckled.
"Yea that's what it is, a dream." He smirked "Come on, be daring?" He laughed while leaning closer to her "No one will see, I promise." He smiled and kissed her neck.
"Nope," She smiled while putting her hand up onto his neck as he lifted his head and looked into her eyes "I don't exactly have the body of a young woman anymore you know?" She said while shaking her head.
"Oh but you do to me." He smiled while putting his arm around her back while turning a little "You have a very sexy body," He whispered between kisses while placing his other hand on her thigh.
"You would say that," She said while looking into his eyes "But for now I'm afraid you will just have to swim with me naked in the bathtub." She laughed as he moved forward and nuzzled her neck.
"Let's go," He exclaimed after a few seconds and grabbed her hand, pulling her gently back into the house as she laughed.
Walking through the main entrance of the Palace a couple hours later both Clarisse and Joseph smiled when they saw Amelia stood talking with her assistant, noticing them a few seconds later she smiled while rushing over and hugged them.
"You're alive." Amelia exclaimed and hugged Clarisse again as they both laughed "Wait," She said said standing back and checked the time "Aren't you meant to be heading on your honeymoon by now?"
"Our flight leaves at 3, we just popped over to get my stuff." Clarisse smiled while taking hold of her silk scarf as it hanged down her front "Remember, my stuff is still here." She smiled while putting her arm around Amelia's waist.
"I remember," Mia smiled as Sophia appeared.
"Hey sweetheart," Clarisse smiled as Sophia walked over and kissed her cheek.
"I thought you would of left by now." Sophia smiled and looked at Joe "Hey Daddy." She smiled leaning closer and kissed his cheek "Can I have a word with you, please?" She whispered.
"Of course." He nodded as she stepped back and looked at Clarisse and Amelia who both stood looking at them "Why don't you go with Amelia, while I go and have a chat with Sophia." He smiled.
"Ok," Clarisse nodded while raising her eyebrow and watched them disappear through to the living room "Do you know what's going on?" She asked looking at Amelia who shook her head "Well something is."
"What makes you say that?" Amelia asked while linking arms with her as they made their way up the stairs.
"Well Sophia called really early this morning and Joseph took the call out of the bedroom," She said looking at Amelia "I don't know, maybe it's nothing and I'm just being silly." She laughed a little "Come on, let's go and pack some stuff for my honeymoon." She smiled as they carried on to her suite.
As Joseph and Sophia remained downstairs, Isabella headed upstairs to help with the packing.
"Hey Mom," She exclaimed while walking through the bedroom door.
"Hey darling," Clarisse smiled as she stood in front of her, giving each other a hug for a few seconds before stepping apart "I wondered if I'd see you before leaving." She smiled.
"Of course, you can't get rid of me that easy." Bella smiled "So are we packing up for your sexy honeymoon?" She smirked at Amelia then both smirked at Clarisse.
"Yes we are," Clarisse nodded while putting a suit case on the bed and opened it up "Are you both going to help?" She asked while turning to them, who already made it into her closet "Girls," She said rushing over to the door "Nothing to out there ok?"
"Oh Mom come on," Bella giggled while grabbing a top from the rails and held it up to her front "What about this?" She asked as Clarisse and Amelia looked over at her.
"Yes, I like that." Clarisse nodded with a smile.
"Good," Isabella smiled.
"Where are you going to be living when you return from honeymoon?" Mia asked while watching Clarisse walk out into the bedroom carrying a pile of stuff.
"In one of the guest houses of course." She said putting the stuff on the bed beside her case "Why?"
"Really?" Mia smiled while standing in the door way watching her fold a top up.
"Yes," Clarisse nodded over at her then turned to her case placing the top neatly inside.
"That's awesome." Mia smiled and headed back inside.
"Where were you and Peter going to live, if you had married him?" Bella asked while leaning against the door frame and noticed Clarisse's head go up a little, looking over at his bedside table.
"I'm not sure," She started while shaking her head and grabbed another top "We never talked about it." She answered softly.
"But you and Grandpa did?" Mia asked while standing next to Bella, looking at each other then back at Clarisse as she slowly nodded.
"Yeah." Clarisse answered and carried on "We did yesterday, so when I get back I will have to pack up my stuff." She sighed while turning to them.
"What about Peters stuff?" Mia asked.
"I don't care what happens to it." She answered and turned back around "After what he done, it could all be burned for all I care." She answered as Mia and Bella looked at each other.
"I'm glad you didn't Marry him, Mom." Bella whispered while walking over to her and wrapped her arms around her waist from behind while resting her head on Clarisse's back "Daddy is much better suited than him." She added.
"I totally agree," Mia smiled while rushing over and put her arms up, hugging them both and trapping Bella between them, as she laughed.
"What is going on?" Clarisse asked, with a laugh.
"Just giving you both hugs." Mia smiled while stepping back and watched Clarisse turn around "Honestly Grandma, I'm glad you married Grandpa too." She smiled.
"Thank you darling," Clarisse nodded while putting her hand up and cupped her cheek.
"Besides," Bella smiled at her "Daddy is a much better lover than Peter." She exclaimed as Mia and Clarisse gasped "And don't deny it," She smiled while wrapping her arms around Clarisse's waist and kissed her cheek.
"And what makes you say that?" Clarisse asked while looking at her.
"Well for one, have you seen the smile on your face?" Bella asked as Mia nodded with a cheeky smile "And second, you would never let Peter leave a love bite on your neck." She laughed as Clarisse gasped and looked at her "Be honest Mom." She smiled.
"Yes, that's true." Clarisse nodded and wrapped her arms around her shoulders "He does make me happy." Clarisse nodded going into a day dream while resting her cheek against Bella's head.
"We are pleased," Bella smiled while looking up at her "You deserve to be happy." She smiled.
"Thank you." Clarisse smiled and kissed her.
A short while later Sophia appeared with a couple bags.
"Need any help?" She asked while watching Clarisse put some stuff into her case then winked at Bella and Mia.
"I think we have it all sorted." Clarisse asked while looking over at her with a smile "But thank you darling." She smiled and carried on.
"Ok," Sophia nodded and walked over sitting on the edge of the bed as Mia and Bella giggled to themselves "I have something for you." She smiled "Well actually, this is from me, Bella and Mia." She said handing her a gift bag "Just a few small things that you or Daddy may make use of while on honeymoon." She smiled as Clarisse raised her eyebrow at her while taking the bag "Just some 'fun' things." She grinned as Mia and Bella moved over to her.
"What have you done?" Clarisse asked.
"Just look in the bag Mom," Bella giggled and watched her lift the bag up a little to peep inside, gasping at it's contents as all three girls couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh my god." Clarisse exclaimed while looking at them "You really expect me to use this stuff?" She asked.
"Yes," Sophia giggled while stepping closer "Not that you need any of it of course, but it's just a little fun to 'spice' things up, in the bedroom." She giggled while jumping back out the way, giggling with Bella and Mia.
"All of you knew about this?" She asked looking at them as they all nodded, still giggling "My god girls, what am I going to do with you?" She asked and looked in the bag again "Thank you for the thought, but honestly these will be staying behind." She said putting the gift bag on her bedside table.
"Oh that's no fun." Bella giggled and watched her walk over to the closet.
"Quick, go and distract her." Sophia giggled and watched Bella and Mia run over to the closet, keeping her busy while Sophia hid the bag in her suitcase and moved, sitting on the end of the bed as they came back out "Alright, so you won't accept the gifts, tell us what you plan on wearing?" She asked as Clarisse looked at her "You know, to tease Daddy?" Sophia added.
"Oh honestly girls," Clarisse said shaking her head and put a couple pair of shoes in her case followed by a few other things.
"I mean do you have any sexy lingerie to wear while you are away?" She asked and stepped of the bed grabbing the other bag "If you didn't, you do now?" Sophia giggled while giving her the bag "And trust me, Men love this stuff." She smiled.
After checking the contents of this bag Clarisse looked up at her "You can't be serious? I'm 64 years old, I can't get away with wearing this stuff." She exclaimed.
"Rubbish." Sophia exclaimed.
"She's right Mom," Bella nodded "Men do love this stuff." She smiled "And I know Daddy would love seeing you in this." She smiled at her.
"What is this pick on Mom day?" Clarisse asked while looking at her two girls as they stood smiling at her "I guess it is."
"I know you and Daddy don't need any help in that department," Sophia smiled while stepping closer and wrapped her arms around her waist "You never did for what I remember," She grinned "Even the way you conceived my beautiful sister was done in the kinkiest way." She giggled as Clarisse gasped.
"What?" Bella asked.
"That's a story for another time." Sophia smiled over at her then looked back at Clarisse "Anyway, as I was saying." She smiled "It doesn't hurt to be a bit spicy, I'm the same with Andrew and well he loves it." She smiled as Clarisse sighed "Just take the stuff, you won't regret it, I promise." She smiled and hugged her as someone knocked on the door.
"Am I disturbing something?" Pierre asked while watching Sophia step back.
"Nope Bro," She smiled over at him and headed over to the door "Anyway I will see you before you go?" She nodded and giggled while walking out with Mia.
"See you in a bit Mom," Bella smiled and walked out.
"Don't all go because I'm here?" Pierre asked while watching them.
"Pierre," Clarisse said and smiled as he turned to her "I'm glad your here, I need you to do something for me."
"Of course Mom," He smiled while walking over and kissed her cheek "What can I do for you?" He asked while stepping back and put his hands in his pockets.
"While I am gone with Joe, can you and only you get rid of Peter's stuff from here?" Clarisse asked while looking around "I don't want to ask the girls, because well it's Peter's stuff and well, you get what I mean." She said looking at him.
"Of course Mom," He nodded while looking at her "What do you want me to do with it?" He asked while watching her put a few last things in her case.
"Burn it, I don't care just get rid of it." She said and zipped up her case.
"I will deal with it for you, don't worry." He nodded and walked around to the other side of the bed, picking up a photo frame of her and Peter snuggled together "What about photos?" He asked as she looked over at him.
"Get rid of them too, I have moved on now." She said looking at him as something clicked in her mind "Oh god know," She whispered and rushed over to her safe, kneeling down in front of it.
"What's wrong Mom?" Pierre asked while putting the photo down and walked over as she opened the safe.
"He has, he's took them." She exclaimed and looked up before looking back down at the safe.
"He's took what?" Pierre asked.
"Some very personal photos," She exclaimed while standing up "And when I say very personal," She said looking at him "I mean real personal and provocative." She whispered as Pierre gasped.
