Chapter 1.
Emma worked as a physiotherapist in a coastal town in England. She loved her Job, but her private life was a different matter. It was two weeks before she was due to marry an orthopaedic Surgeon at the same hospital. She had gone home early to find him in bed with his sectary. The wedding was called off and cancelled. Emma was sat at home eating breakfast when she received a phone call from the travel agents, about the honeymoon they were due to go on in a weeks time. They were due to stay in the honeymoon suite in a 5* hotel in Sydney, Emma had always wanted to go to Australia. She told them she would need to speak to Edward but would contact them as soon as possible.
She entered the hospital early for shift knowing Edward would be in his office, a week had gone by and they were still the subject of all the gossip. She made her way to his office and knocked on the door before entering. She found him sat at his desk with his sectary sat on his knee. "Sorry to interrupt." Emma said. "I need to talk to you in private." Edward got up straight away embarrassed Emma had seen what she had. "Yes of cause, Lisa do you mind leaving us." He said slightly pushing her towards the door. "What can I do for you?" "I have just had the travel agents on the phone, you forgot too cancel the honeymoon." Emma replied. "Oh right ok, why don't you still go? I know your finding the gossip hard, and I feel really bad about what happened. Maybe it would do you good." He replied. "Get me away and let the gossip die down, meaning, it would be better for your conscience if you didn't have to face me." Emma said bitterly. "No not at all, I just feel really bad and you always wanted to go to Australia, you have the leave booked, why not go." He replied. "I do have the leave booked, and I am sick of people gossiping and feeling sorry for me. If I decide to go, you pay to change the name on the booking, I will take a friend." "Yes of cause any expenses to do with altering the trip I will pay. It's the least I can do." He said he felt awful about how he had treated Emma.
Emma went to her department thinking about Edwards's suggestion. She went into the staff room knowing she had fifteen minutes before she was due to start. "Hey Lindsey" she said as her best friend answered her phone. "I have an offer you can't refuse." She explained about Edward's offer. "It sounds great Emma but I can't get the time off work. Oh come on all you will need is spending money." Emma pleaded. "I will see what I can do." She replied.
After her shift ended Emma went to Lindsey's house. "Well" she asked as soon as she was in the house. "I have the time off work, I explained the situation and my boss said no problem." "That's brilliant, lets go to the travel agents and alter the booking now." Emma said dragging her friend out the door. Once they arrived at the travel agents Emma and Lindsey began to talk about the trip deciding they didn't really want to stay three weeks in the honeymoon suite, "I would prefer to travel" said Lindsey "That is great lets keep the flights but hire a car, travel where we want stopping where we want." Emma said excitedly. So the trip was booked, the money they saved from the hotel they kept for accommodation over there.
It was a week later and the two girls were excitedly on their way to Australia. They were sat on the plane heading for Sydney, and looking at a map, "where do you fancy trying first" Emma asked. "I'm not sure." Lindsey replied "why don't we head south and find some where near a nice beach to stay for a couple of nights." And that was what they did. They packed their belongings into the hired car, and headed south following the signs for coastal route. Emma was driving, as Lindsey didn't have a licence. They had driven for over two hours, "I need to stop for a break." Emma said. "Where is the nearest town?" Lindsey picked up the map, after a few minutes and no response Emma glanced at Lindsey, she noticed the map was the wrong way round and got irritable. "Lindsey for gods sake you're not even looking at it properly, you're the map reader I'm the driver," "alright I'm sorry," she shouted "But I don't know where we are." Just then Emma heard sirens and when she looked in her mirror she found flashing lights. "That's just great," She replied before pulling over and getting out of the car.
"Can I help you officer?" Emma asked as the policewoman stepped forward. "Do you know what speed you were doing?" She asked. "60" Emma replied. "Exactly. You ere driving 10k over the limit." The officer replied. "But the sign said 60." Emma replied. "You obviously weren't paying attention as you passed two signs with the new speed on them. You also didn't see me flash you to pull over." "I'm sorry officer Buckton, I was distracted by my friend reading the map. I promise it wont happen again." She said nervously. "Well seen as you are new to our country I will let you off with a warning, but if I catch you speeding again you will be done. And it's Sergeant Buckton. She replied. "You can carry on with your Journey but I meant what I said." She said before heading back to her car and driving away.
"What happened?" Lindsey asked when she returned to the car. "Apparently I was speeding, I didn't see the signs telling me the speed had changed because you distracted me with the bloody map." Emma said annoyed. "Did she charge you?" Lindsey asked. "No she just gave me a warning and a lecture." Emma replied. "Look lets just find the nearest town along this road so that we can get something to eat and drink, hopefully we can also get somewhere to stay as well, because I need to sleep." Emma said starting to calm down. As they continued on their Journey Lindsey said, "You have to admit she was hot. Is she yore type?" "Lindsey." Emma said embarrassed.
She had told Lindsey she had recently got drunk after a hard day at work with the gossip, and had a one-night stand with a female. She explained although she didn't want a relationship with the female, she realised that for the first time in her life she actually enjoyed sex. She stated she though she may be gay because even with Edward she wasn't in love or enjoyed sex. She admitted she had sort of fallen into the idea of marrying him as he proposed in front of family and friends at her birthday party and she felt obliged. She also said she would of gone through with the marriage. She would of made the best of it and tried to make Edward happy even though she didn't love him. She admitted part of her was glad when she found him in bed with Lisa; it was the way out of the marriage. Lindsey although shocked at Emma's revelation with regards to being gay, was not shocked about hearing her say she didn't love Edward. She had known Emma wasn't happy, she had even tried to talk to her about it but Emma just kept insisting everything was fine. She told Emma her sexual preference did not change their friendship. In fact it made it better because she didn't have to compete for the good-looking guy's.
As they drove Lindsey continued to embarrass Emma about the sexy policewoman. They passed a sign, which said, "Welcome to summer bay." This sounds like a nice place to stop lets find a café or something. They drove down toward the beach car park. They got out of the car and stretched. Walking down towards the beach. They noticed a small group of people sat on the beach near surfboards and decided to go over to them. "Hello, I wonder if you can help us." Lindsey asked the group. "What with?" one of the boys asked. We are new around here and we were wondering if there's anywhere we can get a bite to eat and a drink?" Lindsey asked looking between the group and smiling. "There's the diner just along there." One of the girls replied smiling. "We are just about to go ourselves if you want to join us." She replied friendly. "That would be great." Emma replied smiling at the young girl. "I'm Ruby, this is my boyfriend Casey. That's Xavier and his girlfriend April, then that's Romeo and Indi." "Nice to meet you all." I'm Emma and this is my friend Lindsey." Emma replied as they all shook and made their way to the diner. "Where a bout's in England are you from?" April the dark haired girl asked. "A little coastal town called Sunderland, it's in the north east. Lindsey replied. What's it like?" Xavier asked.
Once they were at the diner they had invited Emma and Lindsey to sit with them. They seemed really nice and they wanted to know a lot about England. An hour passed when in walked the police sergeant, which stopped them earlier. "Look." Said Lindsey it must be fate theirs that policewoman again. Emma gave her a warning look before turning to face the counter she stopped and saw it was indeed the sergeant but this time she was with another officer who she noticed was good looking. She didn't like to admit but Lindsey was right earlier the sergeant was hot. "Oh you have met my mother then." Ruby said. "Your Mother? She doesn't look old enough." Emma said before she could stop herself. "It's a long story, but yes, she is my Mother. I hope she wasn't giving you a hard time about something " Ruby replied smiling. "No actually she was very nice." Emma replied, not going into any details. "Well it was lovely to meet you all but we need to find somewhere to stay and I need to get my head down for a bit. Thanks again for showing us the diner and your company." They both said, standing up ready to leave. "Have you tried the caravan park?" Romeo asked, "I live there with miles the owner." "Where is the caravan park? Lindsey asked. You carry on straight along this road and you will see the signs on the left." Romeo replied. "Great thanks we will head that way now." Emma said.
As they were leaving the diner Lindsey walked over to the police officers. "Hello again sergeant. Nice to see you again. Hello we haven't met I'm Lindsey and this is Emma." She spoke keeping her eyes firmly on the male police officer. "Hi I'm Angelo." He replied. "Are you staying in the bay or just passing through?" He asked smiling back at Lindsey. They began to flirt, Emma Tapped Lindsey on the shoulder. "Come on we need to find the caravan park." She said before walking out. Lindsey said good-bye then followed her friend out. "Wow he's hot." Lindsey said I think I'm going to like summer bay." She said laughing. "You will never change." Emma said laughing at her friend. They made their way to the car.
At the car they looked at each other, "I gave you the key's." Emma said to Lindsey. "You never gave them to me, I got out before you." Lindsey replied. They both turned to the car and noticed the keys sat on the shelf between the seats. "Great now what?" They said together, just as they heard voices. "Excuse me officers, I wonder if you can help," Lindsey said going over to the police officer she knew to be Angelo. "What seems to be the problem?" Angelo asked smiling at Lindsey. "We appear to have locked ourselves out of the car" Lindsey said flirtatiously. "I'm pretty sure I can sort that for you." Angelo replied.
Meanwhile Charlie looked at the driver. She seemed distracted some how. She was really pretty, but very quiet, nothing like her friend. Charlie decided to walk over to her. "Not having a great start to your holiday are you?" Charlie said. "Sorry to be a problem." Emma replied a little short with Charlie. "Hey I didn't mean anything by it, I was just saying, you know making polite conversation." Charlie said rather annoyed. God how ignorant is she Charlie thought. "I'm sorry, I'm just really tired, and this trip was supposed to be hassle free, time to forget the crap I left behind." Emma replied smiling. "I'm not usually this rude." She said "I'm Emma, by the way, and that's my best friend Lindsey." "Nice to meet you Emma, although I do remember your name from earlier. I'm Charlie, and I guess you already know he's Angelo." Charlie replied.
"There you go ladies, I told you it wasn't a problem. So where are you off to now?" Angelo said smugly, never taking his eyes off Lindsey. "We are looking for the caravan park, we have decided to stick around here for a couple of days. Is there much to do?" Lindsey was blatantly flirting with Angelo. "Well you already know we have the diner, we also have the surf, club and a restaurant above it. As well as the beach etc. It's well worth sticking around for." Angelo said also flirting. "In fact I would recommend visiting the restaurant tonight, there's a live band on." "Well if we ever get settled in the caravan park we will have to see how we feel." Lindsey replied smiling at Angelo.
"Thank you so much for your help," Emma said getting in the drivers seat. "Come on Lindsey lets find a bed for the night." She practically had to drag her friend away. "Wow, He is seriously hot." Lindsey said as they drove away. "The serge seemed nice as well didn't she?" Lindsey said cheekily. "This holiday will be good for both of us."
Next time.
Lindsey gets close to Angelo leaving Emma stuck with Charlie.
Will they stick around the bay awhile or will Emma talk Lindsey into leaving?
