Who Can Say Where The Road Goes
Abby tried to sneak a peak at the plane tickets but she wasn't getting very far Carters jacket got in the way or he realised what she was trying to do. In the end she gave up.
'Will you please tell me where we're going'
'No' he replied defiantly
'10 Questions?'
'If you must but it would ruin the whole 'surprise honeymoon' if you guessed where'
'So?'
'If you did guess it then I'll go to the Seychelles and you can catch the next cab home'
Abbys face lit up.
'Did you say the Seychelles. Like the romantic tropical islands with sun, sea and sand'
'I kind of gave it away didn't I?'
'You're taking me to the Seychelles, I don't care. You have no idea how much I love you right now'
She started to plant kisses all over his face, eventually he turned to face her so he could kiss her properly. They were stopped by an over exaggerated cough from the cab driver.
'Your plane awaits' the driver chuckled
Carter shot him a slightly fake smile and paid him. He took Abbys hand and they walked into the airport.
About an hour later they were enjoying a well - deserved cup of coffee.
'Don't you just love airports?' Carter asked rhetorically.
'I suppose' Abby replied in a puzzled tone.
'They're busy, exciting, full of people who are here for different reasons..'
Abby stopped him mid-sentence.
'Oh my God'
'What'
'You just described the ER'
'I did didn't I'
'Look John, I've heard of people who take their work home with them but not of people who take their work on their honeymoon and to be honest I'd prefer it if we weren't the first married couple who spent their entire honeymoon talking about how much they missed their jobs!'
'Sorry it wont happen again'
She smiled.
'Our flights been called. Your carriage awaits Mrs Carter.' His tone changed completely, 'Are you ready?'
'You bet Im ready'
Once they'd boarded the flight it didn't take Abby long to get used to the 5 star treatment she was getting in the first class area. The only other time she'd been in the first class part of a plane was when she was with Richard. But that was a long time ago and Abby didn't want to think about it. She was in a completely different situation now, she was with John now. She loved John and he loved her, Abby had never really loved Richard he was just a safe option. She could never tell him her deepest fears or darkest fantasies let alone do 'it' with him in an aeroplane's bathroom. Now that was an experience that she wasn't going to forget and she hoped that it would reflect what the rest of the honeymoon would be like.
The rest of the journey was pretty uneventful and they were very happy when they reached their villa. It was right on the beach and very romantic. To be honest, when they arrived romance wasn't the highest item on their list of priorities. They were hungry - as expected they planes food wasn't great - and tired.
They briefly unpacked and then went off to search for a nice restaurant. They decided to eat in a small open air restaurant that looked out over the beach. As they ate the local cuisine they watched the sunset over the rippling water. They finished the meal and decided to take a walk along the beach so they could watch the rest of the sunset. It was Abby who decided to make the evening more interesting.
'Ever been skinny dipping?'
'Once or twice'
'Well, do you want to raise that to three times?' she asked seductively.
'Sounds intriguing'
'That's the idea'
Abby took off her shirt and threw it over her shoulder
'Last one in cooks dinner tomorrow'
John watched her run towards the sea he laughed and eagerly followed suit.
An hour later they were back in their villa slightly worse for wear. Abby was in the shower washing her hair.
'Carter', she shouted over the sound of the rushing water
'Yup' he appeared in the bathroom
'Look what I've just found'
She held up a hand sized bottle
'What is it?'
'Massage oil'
'Oh' he smiled, 'Whats that got to do with anything?'
'I could spell it out for you if you really want but that would kind of damper the experience'
'I should just shut up shouldn't I?'
'I would'
'Ok then, that settles it' He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom'
The next morning they woke to here the sound of some native bird.
'Morning sleepyhead'
Abby groaned
'Come on we've got to get up'
'Why'
'There's loads of stuff we've got to do before we leave here so we may as well start today'
'John we've got a whole two weeks yet'
'I'll make you breakfast' he bribed
'That's an offer I cant refuse'
A few minutes later they were sitting on the beach eating something John had concocted.
'So where do you want to go today' he asked
'I'd like to see the town and market'
'Sounds like fun'
When they'd finished their breakfast and were washed and dressed they headed off in to town. Hand in hand as they walked across the beach.
