SECRETS Part 1
Oh it was pissing hard!
Molly looked out the window and heard all the mayhem that was going off downstairs. Breakfast time would never change in this household, just one big faff.
Luckily she had packed what she wanted to pack last night. Her rucksack laid next to her on the carpet. She looked into the mirror, she looked rough, she really needed to make an effort...even though that might be wasted on Charles James if he was in one of his dark moods and didn't seem to notice her.
Hey, nice bin bag I've got on, do you like it?
Blank look
She sighed...should she REALLY be having these thoughts? Was Lee right when he had suggested that she was with him because she felt sorry for him or it had got to the stage where she would look like a right cow if she left him...
Heavy.
She sighed again. At least her decision to leave the Army was made. She was doing it...she loved it, but she wasn't going to make a career out of it...she was still young free and single...
She chuckled to herself at that thought. No she wasn't, but it sure felt that way at times.
The rain was hammering on the window pane as she stood up and pulled on her bathrobe. She needed to get some breakfast down her.

Downstairs, she grabbed the piece of burnt toast and scraped it. Belinda clutched her mug of tea watching her, "Awwwww it's a shame you 'ave to go so soon Moll...you are gonna miss your Nan's birthday and everything..."
"lucky her...", said Dave over his newspaper reading the football results. Nan turned, "So where are you off to Moll?"
Molly looked up, "Bath Nan..."
"Ohhh Moll...it's well posh down there..."
Belinda screwed her face up, "It's not that posh"
Nan begged to differ, "Ohhh I think it is Bel...fat Karen across from me had a son who went down to Bath...", she turned to Molly, "...you remember fat Karen dont you Moll...scraggy hair no teeth...always after a bargain in pound land, her son went to Bath...", she pulled a face as if she was changing her mind, "...or was it Bournmouth"
Molly finished her toast and tea, "look...Nan, happy birthday yeah...", she gave her a cuddle and twenty quid, "...have a drink on me..."

The rain had stopped when she stepped off the train in Bath. She was in a daze, the train was 2 hours late into Bath because of work on the line. She spent it trying to catch up on her sleep, but all she dreamt about was her hot time with Lee in that waterfall in Africa.
Gawd, that didn't bode well.
Maybe she was craving for warmer climes, all this rain was doing her head in.
Jumping in a cab, she was soon pulling up outside the James residence. She paid the driver and was up the path and knocking on the door in an instant. The door was open.
She pushed it and looked about the grand hall, before going left and entered the drawing room.
He was there in his chair had the desk and he gave her a sideways glance.
"I almost started to think that you had changed your mind Dawes. I wouldn't blame you in the slightest of course..."
Molly tilted her and smiled at him, "There woz work on the line...I didn't think I'd ever get here"
Charles turned around in his chair and looked at her up and down, he was wearing his army blazer, "you look beautiful..."
Molly approached him and he let her sit on his lap, "have you missed me then...", she whispered looking down into his eyes.
"Course I did..."
she ran her hand through his hair, "Well...what would you say if I woz to tell ya that...you might not need to miss me anymore"
He looked puzzled.
"I've quit...the Army I mean..."
He swallowed down and looked at her like he didn't understand her, "why would you do that for? Why on gods earth would you even consider that?"
Molly looked back at him her smile fading, "I thought you would be pleased..."
"Pleased? If the boot was on the other foot Dawes...would I give up the Army? No I wouldn't"
Molly stood up and went to the window, "I want to...I want to start putting time in with us"
Charles shook his head, "this is not what I wanted...I don't want you to give up the Army... I want you to have your own life...I do not want you to spent the rest of yours caring for me...pleased you ask? I'm horrified Dawes"
She turned her head, "You knew I was thinking about it..."
"I thought you was just talking...I didn't think you was serious, believe me if I knew that it wasn't just talk I'd done a jolly good job of talking you out of it"
Molly shook her head and looked at him, "You do this all the time...why do I bother...why am I even here in Bath"
Charles looked at the floor, then slowly up to her meeting her gaze, "I've been asking myself that since the first time you came..."
Molly wanted to give him a slap,but instead she hurried into the hallway, she clutched the bannister and looked back towards the drawing room.
If it wasn't for that works on the line that she couldn't face again, she'd be back on that train...
Why WAS she here? In Bath...
Now she was asking herself that same question...
