Molly was sat in the living room of her parents pokey maisonette helping her young siblings write their letters to Santa. It was only the 30th of October but they begged to get it done early so he had time to get all that they desired. Molly knew that they wouldn't get half the things that they wanted but she wasn't going to spoil things for them.

Her phone buzzed and she saw a text flash up from Charles.

"fancy coming to bath for the weekend? My parents have gone on a cruse. We can take Sam Trick or treating lots of love bossman xx"

Molly smiled she loved the way that Charles always texted in full and never used text language. Her mum walked in and could see something had got to her daughter. Molly's face has lit up like a Christmas tree.

"who's made your day then" her mum asked folding the mountains of washing that never ended.

"oh no one really just a joke on Facebook. Listen I am going down south for a few days meeting some friends"

"well who's going to take the kids out tomorrow then" her dad said as he swanned in

"err dad you have two feet you bloody do it"

"just ignore him molls you go and have a nice time. Who is it that your meeting love"

"oh no one really just some of my mates from the army"

Molly hadn't told her parents about her relationship with Charles as it was still early days and she knew her dad would ether object to the relationship as he would consider Charles too upper class or would be constantly on the scrounge for financial handouts. Molly packed a overnight bag and texted Charles to tell him she should arrive at the coach station at around 7:30

Molly arrived in bath slightly later than she had said as her train in to Victoria was late but thankfully the coach was delayed so she didn't miss it. There had also been heavy traffic on the M4 so that didn't help matters.

Charles was waiting for molly with Sam who was all in Halloween fancy dress but molly couldn't quite work out what he was suppose to be he had about 4 different costumes on or bits of costume.

"hello trouble" she smiled down at Sam. Even though this was only the fourth or fifth time of meeting they got on like a house on fire. " and what have you dressed up as then?" she asked

" a mummified zombie vampire werewolf" Sam stated as if it was the most obvious thing ever.

Molly laughed and sighed the logic of a six year old baffled her. She walked over to where Charles was standing and he planted a kiss on her cheek. He picked up her bag and lead her to his car.

Molly was stood in Charles living room waiting for him and Sam to come down stairs, they were going to a Halloween party and trick or treating. She looked at her watch, they needed to get going soon. When Sam came bounding down the stairs.

"so what are you going as then?" molly asked

"a solider" Sam smiled proudly

Charles walked in and snuck up on molly, grabbing her from behind he kissed her neck and pretended to bite it. She let out a shriek slightly in fear.

"bloody hell Charles you almost scared me to death then" she cried hitting him hard on the arm..

"sorry dawsey. You ready to go? "

" Charles I have been ready for the last half an hour. It is you two I was waiting for. And there was me thinking it was girls that were suppose to be in the bathroom for hours on end"

The three of them went out to the trick or treat walk and then to the disco that followed in the local social club.

They headed home at around 10 pm with Sam who could barely walk he was that tired. They tucked Sam Up in bed as soon as they got home and hid the goodies he had collected in a cupboard high in the kitchen so he couldn't eat them all at once.
