"Jodie! Jodie! Wake up!" Kate calls. Sleepily Jodie rolls over and says. "Go away squirt its Saturday." Kate grins and says "Alex didn't go home!" Jodie sits bolt upright looks at Kate and says "How do you know that?" Kate grins and says "His car is in the same spot." Jodie says "Maybe he just slept on the couch Kate." Kate urges "You said yourself you thought something was going on." Jodie says "Go and keep watching the cottage and I'll get dressed." Quickly the two are sitting on the porch waiting for any kind of movement from the cottage.
Regan and Dave are out on Drover's veranda enjoying the sunshine and their coffee when Kate runs towards them. "Morning "She calls as she goes to move past them. Regan says "What's the rush Kate." Kate replies "I'm just quickly grabbing some breakfast for Jodie and I." Dave says "why doesn't she come here for her breakfast?'
Kate grins and says "She's watching the cottage." Dave laughs and says "I never knew Jodie was a detective why is she spying on Stevie?" Kate grins and says "Alex's car is still in the same place as last night." Regan smiles broadly and says. "He was probably too drunk to drive Kate."Kate shakes her head and says "Jodie reckons all night he was watching Stevie."
Dave grins and says "He always watches Stevie." Regan replies "No I think Kate's right I noticed him more last night than usual. " Kate disappears inside and quickly brings a tray of toast and tea to the shearer's porch. Dave and Regan have joined them. Patiently they all wait and eventually Kate whispers "They're coming!" The four race inside Jodie's room laughing. Regan says "I feel like a little kid spying like this!" Jodie cracks up and says "Fun isn't it."
Dave whispers "Everything looks the same between them so far!" Jodie replies "You have to wait for when he leaves." "Why's that?"Dave asks. Kate says "Dave don't you know anything? The kiss will tell us everything." Dave chuckles "Sounds like you've watched too many movies Kate." Stevie and Alex stand for ages chatting and over in the shearers quarters the four are beginning to doubt anything's changed.
Alex says "Stevie do you want to go out for dinner in Fisher with me tonight?' Stevie grins at him and says "Would it involve an overnight stay too." He grins and says "I think I could arrange that." She smiles up at him and says "I wish I had some sexy lingerie I could pack." He chuckles and says "What you wore last night was my favourite." She giggles. He moves towards her and slides his arms around her waist.
Jodie says "Here we go folks hang onto your hats."
Stevie reaches up her arms around his neck and he leans into her kiss. He pulls her body into his feeling the softness of her, she slides her hands under his shirt and feels each muscle with her finger tips and then returns them to his neck. His fingers widen as he runs his hands down the curves of her body, sliding them around her bottom, he lifts her up into his embrace as she wraps her legs around his waist, the kiss continues in intensity finally they part. She smiles at him and says "Oh I'd give you a ten for that."
Wolf whistles and cheering breaks out and they both turn towards the noise. The four are out on the shearer's porch clapping, cheering and yelling. Alex chuckles and says "I think they gave us a ten too."
