As Caroline drove along the deserted bare roads all she could think about was Kate. Her mind was racing. Reliving that kiss on the dance floor. She remembered what Kate had whispered in her ear…

"I think everyone's watching us…" Kate whispered.

"I couldn't give a damn, ire ally couldn't" said Caroline, eyes closed and her head rested on Kate's.

Caroline smiled to herself as she drove along the long winding road and stared out into the open fields. She was still in amazement of what happened that night. She pulled up in the massive drive and parked her Jeep right next to Gillian's Landrover. She gazed into the mirror, checked her lippy then sat back and sighed. She couldn't help but think that the last time she parked her car here she was unhappy, lonely and depressed. She opened the door and her heels hit the rocky ground. She pulled herself out of the car, grabbed her bag and strutted up to the front door. Gillian was standing outside the door. She smiled at Caroline and took her hand out of her back pocket and waved.

Suddenly Ellie, Raff, Robbie and the baby came flooding out of the door. Caroline wondered were Cheryl was. She hadn't heard that she and Robbie had broken up. Suddenly out of the door came the larger than life character. Caroline exchanged pleasantries with them all and went to say hello to Gillian.

"Where are they all off to?" Caroline questioned.

"To Robbie and Cheryl's for the day" She said this in the most sarcastic way possible.

"Ah right, so he hasn't ditched her yet then?"

"No – clearly not." Gillian said smiling and waving at the car.

"She still annoying." Caroline exclaimed still waving at the car, smiling.

"Oh yes!" Gillian laughed along with Caroline.

Gillian turned and glared at Caroline. She was once again dressed to impress. She had a pale blue blouse on with a cream blazer and black jeans. Oh and of course the killer heels. Gillian didn't like to express it but she was always secretly jealous of Caroline's life… and wardrobe, even though she was more than happy with her life… but not so much her own wardrobe.

"How is it you always look so stunning?" Gillian exclaimed. Caroline burst out laughing. She replied with;

"Because I'm a snotty bitch…" They both suddenly burst out laughing and Gillian gestured Caroline inside.

Caroline placed her bag on the chair and looked at Gillian hoping she would say something that could start a conversation. Nothing happened.

"I haven't seen you since the Wedding. We must have loads to catch up on!"

Gillian smiled and stayed silent.

"What!" Caroline said laughing at the same time.

"Well you've been all smitten with Kate and I've been trying to dodge your husband and fix my relationship with Robbie?" Gillian sounded straight but humorous. Caroline still felt at ease with her.

"Right urm first, ex-husband and second isn't Robbie with Cheryl?" Caroline stated.

"Oh, I'll tell you over lunch, it's a long story!" Gillian exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, were do you want to go?"

"Oh I kind of meant I'd cook? Money's a bit thin on the ground this month." Gillian sounded low about her financial situation.

"Oh shut up, what did we say last time? I've just got divorced and frankly… I'm loaded! Go get spruced up then were going somewhere really fancy and getting pissed and spending all my money…" Caroline smiled at Gillian and pointed upstairs. Gillian turned and ran with a spring in her step, happy that she and Caroline were such good friends.

"So, so, so you shagged Robbie at the wedding?"

Caroline and Gillian were sat in a very expensive restaurant with two big glasses of red wine in front of them, all at Caroline's expense.

Gillian held her head in her hands and nodded very slowly.

"Oh my god, what were you thinking!" Caroline gasped but laughing at the same time.

Suddenly Caroline remembered what she said to Gillian about staying away from Robbie. But then she forgot about it. Her life was so happy at the moment; she didn't have the energy to discipline Gillian like a head teacher.

"Oh hang on let me guess?" Caroline guessed.

Suddenly they both said at the same time

"You were pissed" said Caroline and "I was pissed" said Gillian.

They both burst out laughing;

"I'm guessing Cheryl never found out as they are still together and she hasn't said anything to me." Gillian placed her head back in her hands shaking it vigorously.

The waiter came over to take there order.

"Hello, I had just got divorced and I would like a bottle of the most expensive champagne you own." Caroline gleamed when she said this. It felt like that 'jerk' was finally off her back after 3 years of him running of the sleep with other women behind her back.

"Madame, with all due respect, our highest prices champagne is £178.45?" The waiter said this is the most respective way possible.

"Oh in that case, have another one held back for when we've finished the first?" Caroline laughed at him.

"Of course madam!" The waiter shuffled away.

"Caroline, what are you doing, you can't spend that much on me!" Gillian sounded worried.

"Oh I don't give a damn, Kate wouldn't!" She beamed at the thought of Kate.

"How is Kate, what happened at the wedding?" Gillian had an inquisitive ring to her voice.

"What didn't happen at the wedding? She just turned up! I was so happy, I still am!..." Caroline shined radiantly whenever she thought about Kate.

"I'm so glad you happy Caroline" Gillian said truthfully.

"So am I!" Both women smiled at each other radiantly.

Caroline pulled up into her drive. She gazed at her house that she had successfully saved and she knew her darling Kate was inside. She got out and walked up to the door. She slid her key into the lock and glided into the house. She walked through into the kitchen. A heavily pregnant Kate lay on the sofa fast asleep. Caroline placed her bag on the floor and looked at Kate lovingly, appreciating what she once again has and never intends to let go. She glided over to her beautiful girlfriend and knelt down. She leant over and kissed her pregnant belly. Kate stirred from her gentle slumber and she smiled as she saw her girlfriends face.

"Hello beautiful" Caroline said while shifting over the kiss her on the lips.

"Did you have fun with Gillian?" Kate said still stirring from her sleep.

"Oh yes, we got very pissed and had a good laugh and spent all me money! Where's Lawrence" Caroline said reminding herself of her home life.

"He's at Angus's for the night, I said it was okay" Kate was happy that Lawrence had finally accepted her and his mother's relationship.

Caroline stroked Kate's face and moved a piece of hair that with displaced across her beautiful face. She helped Kate sit up and the two sat in there loving embrace, enjoying each other's company.

Caroline's heels banged against the laminate flooring as she walked around the kitchen, obsessively cleaning the sides as the morning light beamed through the large kitchen windows. Kate appeared from around the door and watched Caroline. As soon as Caroline clocked Kate presence, she stopped and allowed all her weight to fall onto one hip. She was wearing a slim black dress and a yellow cardigan.

"Are you okay my darling?" Caroline was concerned about Kate as she got closer and closer to her due date.

"I'm just tired of lugging a nine pound baby around!" She looked down.

"Oh, come here..." Caroline walked over to Kate. Kate admired her stunning figure as she came towards her. She opened her arms and embraced her lover and fell her. She feel completely dependent on her. They both loved each other to the ends of the earth, and they both knew that.
