I really have spoiled you today. Three updates in a day, I know how to treat my readers. But do you know how to treat your writers? Reviews as always
"Is the little bed bound baby ready to get out of here?" teased Sophie as she burst in to Sian's room, her good hand behind her back as she beamed at her girlfriend.
"God yes, never been more ready to leave somewhere in my life." groaned Sian, lifting herself up out of the bed. Sophie removed her hand from behind her back, presenting the blonde with a bunch of flowers who lit up instantly. "Aww babe they're gorgeous." Sian leant forward, wrapping an arm around the back of her neck and pulling her close for a kiss.
"Rosie's on her way, she's going to drive us to the flat." stated Sophie, picking up Sian's bag and making her way out of the room.
"That's nice of her. Soph, you don't have to carry that, you only have one arm as it is." protested Sian, trying to grab for her bag but it was quickly lifted out of her reach by Sophie. "Is your arm bothering you at all?"
Sophie lead the way out through the hospital and towards the exit and shrugged, "It doesn't hurt or anything, I've been taking pain killers if it gets a bit much. Mostly it's just annoying not being able to do stuff. Can't really dress myself properly and some housework is a bit hard but oth-"
"Hang on. House work? Since when did you do housework?" teased Sian earning her a nudge from the brunette.
"I do plenty of housework I'll have you know. I'm just glad it wasn't my right arm. Or a leg, that would probably have been worse."
"Ever the optimist aren't you?" chuckled Sian as they exited the hospital, looking around the car park for Rosie and quickly spotted her waving frantically from her car and winding down the window.
"Hurry up lezzas, I'm parked on double yellows here!" she shouted as the girls shook their heads, laughing as they got in to the car.
"Rosie, it's your fault if you're parked on double yellows, there's like a million spaces here." Sophie looked at her sister in disbelief of how ridiculous she could be at times.
"Yes but this space was right here." argued Rosie, pulling out of the hospital car park and starting to drive painfully slow. Sophie looked back from the passenger seat to Sian who was sat in the back and they both shook their heads, grinning.
"You know sis, you can go faster than five miles an hour, we're not scared you're going to crash." joked Sophie.
"Well better safe than sorry is my motto."
"When have you ever used that motto, that is the opposite of your motto." Sophie raised an eyebrow at Rosie who merely shrugged in response.
"Never too late to get a new motto."
The rest of the drive was filled with comfortable silences and idle chit chat until they finally arrived outside of Sophie and Sian's flat.
"God am I glad to see this place." sighed Sian, looking up at the building as she stepped out of the car. "It's good to be home."
"Not quite a hotel in Majorca though is it?" added Rosie, handing Sian her bag out the back of the car as Sophie fumbled for her keys.
"I'm sure we'll get to go one of these days. This is obviously all part of fate's plan." Sian smiled at Rosie, trying not to show her disappointment at the mention of the holiday. With everything that had been happening over the past few days, she'd completely forgotten where her and Sophie should be right now.
"Jesus what have you two done to piss fate off?" joked Rosie as she leant against her car.
"You going to continue making us feel worse or are you coming in for a brew?" Sophie raised her eyebrows at her sister, waiting for her answer.
"I've got to get back actually, told Jase I wouldn't be long, he really needs to catch up on work since he's been looking after Matty this full time."
"How is Matty?" asked Sian.
"Never shuts up and never sits still. I can't believe he's over a year old already. He doesn't really know any words yet, he can say mammy and daddy and hello and bye but that's about it. Doesn't stop him from trying though I tell you that. Constant gibberish falling out of that kids mouth" chuckled Rosie.
"You'll have to come round with Jason and him for a visit soon, I miss the little guy, can't believe I haven't even heard him speak yet." Sian smiled as Rosie nodded in response.
"Yeah that'd be great, we'll pop round soon. To be honest, all our money was on his first word being Sian." laughed Rosie as she made her way back to the car. "Anyway, look after each other, I'll call you soon and we'll arrange something. Be gentle when you're 'getting reacquainted' girlies, you're both still fragile!"
"Bye sis, thanks for the lift and the inappropriate comments, was a pleasure as usual." Sophie shook her head, putting her key in the door as her and Sian made their way up to the flat, Sian instantly flopping down in to the sofa and closing her eyes as they entered.
"Even our sofa is more comfortable than that hospital bed." Sian let out a long sigh, stretching herself out on the couch as Sophie went to put the kettle on before hovering in the living room near her girlfriend.
"What's up Soph?" Sian sat up, turning to face the brunette, seeing the torn expression on her face as she paced a little in the room.
"Nothing I'm fine." Sophie gave Sian a weak smile who just raised her eyebrow unconvinced. "It's just … I dunno if you're going to appreciate this after the week we've had, it might seem too soon."
"Tell me." Sian patted the spot next to her on the sofa as Sophie sat down, inhaling deeply before reaching in to her pocket and handing an envelope to Sian. "I went to the travel agents. I explained everything that happened."
Sian opened the envelope and saw two new plane tickets and the dates of their hotel booking had been changed to next week. "This was the only time they would change it for. I wasn't sure if you'd want to cause it's so soon after the crash and I didn't know if you'd be feeling up to it but I thought I may as well try. It's totally okay if you don't want to go, I understand but it didn't hurt to go and talk to the travel agent and just see what they could do an-"
Sian silenced the brunette with a kiss before pulling back and smiling. "This is one of those times when I would tell you to stop rambling."
"So do you … want to… go?" Sophie raised her eyebrows, trying to read the expression on Sian's face.
"I would love to go. I think we deserve it after this week don't you?" Sian kissed Sophie again. "Thank you for sorting this out. Are you sure you want to go? You're gonna have a bit of a dodgy tan with your arm like that."
"I don't even care, just getting away from here and being somewhere hot is enough for me." stated Sophie, getting up from her seat and going to sort them both a cup of tea.
"Hopefully we'll be a little more successful with our trip to the airport this time." Sian half joked. She couldn't really remember the crash but the mere thought of it still made her shudder.
"Well fingers cross." Sophie shouted up from the kitchen, busying herself with milk and tea bags.
"Rosie knew we were going didn't she?" Sian stood up from the couch making her way over to the kitchen and leaning on one of the counters.
"She went with me to the travel agents." Sophie turned and handed Sian her cup of tea who took it and sipped at it eagerly.
"Jesus that's good, hospital tea tastes like poops." giggled Sian before heading back in to the living room and collapsing in to the sofa where she was quickly joined by Sophie.
"So what's the plan for tonight boss?" asked Sophie as she placed her tea on the coffee table, wrapping an arm around Sian who leaned in to her.
"Well you can't cook with a limb out of action, you're joking if you think I'm cooking so perhaps … take away, movie and early to bed?" suggested Sian.
"I knew there was a reason we were together." joked Sophie, placing a kiss on the blonde's forehead who giggled in response.
….
"Well we made it further than last time." Sophie dragged her suitcase out of the taxi, thanking the driver and heading in to the airport as Sian followed.
"It wasn't really hard to make it further than last time, we got about two minutes away from our flat." stated Sian as they headed over to check in.
As they reached the check in desk, the woman behind smiled warmly, "Good afternoon, how can I help you?"
"We just wanted to check in for our flight please." Sophie passed their boarding passes over the counter.
"Can I just see your passports please?" asked the woman as Sian opened her bag, taking them out and passing them over as Sophie tried to suppress a laugh.
"If you're thinking about my passport picture again you're going to be sorry." muttered Sian.
"I'm sorry babe but it's hilarious." laughed Sophie as she took the passports back from the woman and handed them to Sian who hastily put them in her bag.
"And how much luggage are you taking with you today?" asked the woman.
"Just the two." Sophie picked up her suitcase, placing it down as the woman busied herself with labels before doing the same to Sian's.
"Okay well flight EY1902 to Tenerife will be boarding from terminal two and is on time, scheduled for arrival at three o clock this afternoon. We hope you have a pleasant journey."
Sophie and Sian thanked the woman before heading off in the direction of the terminals hand in hand.
"Could it be possible that something is actually going to go right for us for once?" joked Sian before Sophie turned to her, wide eyed.
"Touch wood Sian! That's just asking for something bad to happen!"
Sian shook her head and smirked, walking over and tapping one of the information desks before heading back over to Sophie. "Happy?"
"Very!" stated Sophie, taking Sian's hand in her own and leading them off. "Now lets finally get on this holiday!"
…
The girls stood open mouthed in the foyer of the hotel, looking around in awe.
"This is literally the nicest hotel I've ever set foot in." stated Sian, still looking around in shock.
"Let's hope the room is as awesome." Sophie picked up her suitcase and headed over to the main desk before smiling at the man behind it. "Hi, I just wanted to check in please, was a booking for Webster."
Sian came over and joined Sophie at the desk, rubbing a few circles on her back as they watched the man behind the desk type a few details in to his computer.
"Ah yes, we have it right here. For the two of you is it?" Sophie and Sian nodded in response as he looked further down the details. "For four nights in a … double room?"
Sophie rolled her eyes, the awkward moment when you're in a same sex couple and the hotel doesn't quite get it. "Yes, we want a double room." grumbled Sophie.
The man behind the desk cleared his throat before continuing "Okay well your room is ready for you now ladies, you're in room 1023." he handed two room keys over which Sian took and quickly placed in her pocket. The man looked down at Sophie's broken arm and then back up at her face. "Do you need any help with your bags?"
Sophie shook her head, "We'll be fine thank you."
"Well then enjoy your stay, please let me know if there's anything else I can help with."
"Thank you." Sian smiled warmly before picking up her suitcase and following Sophie down the corridor in the direction of their room. Despite the fact that all they had done so far was check in to their hotel room, she couldn't help the excited feeling in the pit of her stomach and it was impossible to wipe the grin off her face.
"Here we are, our home for the next four nights and five days. Room 1023." Sian took one of the keys out of her pocket and pushed it in to the door as it flashed green and she removed it before they both eagerly entered, looking around.
The room was big enough with a king size bed, two bedside tables and a small sofa. There was a wardrobe and a desk along with a mini bar and the bathroom was reasonably sized with a shower and bath combo. The room had a set of double doors that lead out onto a balcony that overlooked the pool area.
"Well this is nice isn't it?" said Sian, placing her bags down and looking around the room.
"Yeah it's not too shabby like is it." agreed Sophie.
"So should we do the sensible thing and unpack first or do we do what we actually want to do and go out and explore?" Sian raised her eyebrows at Sophie, already knowing what the answer was be.
"I think we both know the right thing to do. Let's go out and explore." Sophie grinned, holding her hand out for Sian to take and leading her out of the hotel room.
