xxxxx chapter one: holiday
"Red! I can't wear this! I look like a slut in this dress!" Liz was standing in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection. Red approached her and circled her waist from behind.
"Lizzie, this is going to be a beach holiday on the Seychelles. There aren't any other people except us, it's going to be hot, you look absolutely stunning in this and most importantly: whatever you wear, it is simply not possible that you would look like a slut."
"You're sure about this? I mean...look at it!"
"What? I like those transparent beach dresses on you. I get a better look at your bikini then." he grinned and placed a soft kiss behind her ear.
"Yeah. The bikini. We haven't spoken about that yet. Do you know how short that thing is?!"
"Of course I know, I bought it for you. With you, in case you don't remember. You liked it at the shop and you're going to like it at the beach, too. So get changed, stop doubting how you look and pack your bag, sweetheart. We have a whole week without Blacklist business, without Harold and without Ressler, who could slip on banana peels. There are absolutely no other people. This is your island."
"What do you mean with 'your island' ?"
He pulled her close to him. "It's too early too share this information with you, Lizzie."
She punched his chest playfully. "Please, Red! Tomorrow is my birthday, I don't want you to let me wait-" Suddenly she got it.
"Red? Don't tell me you bought me an island for my birthday?!"
"I did. Don't look at me like this! I have money, I like money and I like to spend it. Especially for you. But if you keep looking at me like this I'll fly alone." he teased her.
Liz hugged him and drew him into a passionate kiss, not wanting to let go.
"Oh my God, Thank you, Red!"
"Don't thank me yet. Your birthday is tomorrow!" he smiled, glad that the love of his life was happy. He knew that this present was a little over the top, but what else should a criminal do with so much money if not make his girlfriend happy?
Liz couldn't believe it, she would actually have a peaceful week without work with Red on an island. HER island, by the way. She knew nobody else whom she knew would give their girlfriends an island for their birthdays. A week without distractions, without security, without bodyguards, without criminals to catch. Well, except of her own, personal criminal...she would even leave her phone at home, which was something she would normally never do. Never. There was only one problem: she had to think of something she would tell Ressler and Aram when they asked her what she had done in her week off. But she didn't care about that right now, there was enough time to think about it on the flight back. Now, she had to pack her bag and get ready.
xxxxx the next day:
"Happy birthday, Lizzie. Slept well?" Liz heard when she woke up from cold, wet hands on her stomach. She was wide awake immediately. Apparently, Red had been in the ocean already.
"I slept great. And thanks again! Let's hit the beach, I wanna go swimming."
"In case you don't remember, we are already at the beach in our cute little beach cabin., sweetheart."
She had forgotten that she wasn't in a hotel but just in a small cabin right under a couple of palm trees. This was her best birthday ever. She got up, brushed her teeth in record time with salty water and then went into the water after they had put sun blocker on each other. Red followed her, and just when she wondered what he was doing, he had removed her bikini top.
"You know, Lizzie? I felt like we don't need this when we're all alone here." he grinned at her.
Without a word, she slid her bikini pants down her legs, carried it to the beach and lay it on the sand, then walked back into the ocean where Red was waiting for her.
"You, too."
"What?!"
"I said you, too. You don't need your swim trunks."
"Whatever you say, sweetheart." Red replied and did as he was told.
After an eternity of swimming, jumping in the waves and making love in the water, they went back to the beach and lay down to bath in the sun.
"Red? You do realize that I'm a little under pressure for your birthday gift, don't you?"
"I don't need anything. I have you. That's all that matters to me."
She drew him into a slow, sensual kiss, then placed soft kisses along his jaw down to his neck. "Yes, you have me. And I have you."
After a long time of just lying next to each other, they felt it was time for lunch, because it became way too hot in the sun.
xxxxx
Seven days of happiness and not having to worry about anything were almost almost over. Both of them had a light sunburn and Red was covered in new freckles, Liz already thought about an excuse how she should explain that she and Red both had sunburns and looked more relaxed than ever. It was really obvious that they had been at the beach, but she definitely couldn't say 'Red bought me an island for my birthday and we were there together for a week.' If she said 'I was on the Seychelles', everyone would say that it was too expensive and ask how she could afford it...Then they would see how Red looked and they would ask questions she didn't want to answer.
"What are we telling the others? We obviously can't tell the truth."
"I'm sorry to tell you this so late, but I will be away for business for two weeks in Europe, so when I come back, the sunburn will be gone."
"And you're telling me about this now? You should have said something earlier!"
"I didn't want to ruin your vacation. I'm sorry, Lizzie. Just tell them you were in California or somewhere else where it's warm and sunny."
She thought about what he said for a few minutes. "Don't be sorry. You're right, it's better that way. But promise me that you will give me the name of the next Blacklister."
"I will track someone down who's connected to him and then call you, I promise."
"Thanks, I love you, you know?"
"I love you, too, Lizzie. I'll go and prepare dinner now, stay here for a few minutes."
"Wait, I'll just get my MP3-player to listen to some music while you're cooking."
xxxxx
Lizzie looked adorable, Red thought while he stood behind her and watched her from the distance. She lay on the beach with her legs in the water and quietly sang along a song, thinking he wouldn't watch her. Actually, he had been standing behind her for almost ten minutes now without being noticed, enjoying the fact that she thought she was alone. He liked the look on her face when he caught her doing something she wanted to hide or didn't want him to see or know. He liked the way she blushed and looked aside, not being able to hold his gaze.
He bent down and pulled the headphones out of her her ears. As expected, she looked like she was having a heart attack and blushed crimson immediately.
"How long have you been standing there?" she asked without looking at him, instead staring at a palm tree behind him.
"Exactly ten minutes now. Come on, dinner is ready. And I have to tell you, you have a wonderful voice when you're singing. Has nobody ever told you that? When you're ready to meet my eyes again, we could take a shower after dinner and then we have to pack our bags."
She finally looked at Red, grinned and bit her lips, still embarrassed that he caught her singing and watched her for ten minutes without saying anything.
Before they flew back, they had sex in the shower one last time and already looked forward to their next beach holiday.
