The day went slowly as did the next, as Des and Sheelagh decided to try and keep some distance between them. This was decided as they knew that Gina, knew about them and they had suspicions that Jim and June also knew something about them. On the 5th day of the holiday, both Des and Sheelagh couldn't stand the distance between them so they decided to go off for the day. They made there way down to breakfast early as they wanted to miss the others, as they were leaving the room Kerry and Honey were coming down to breakfast. Des pulled Sheelagh around the corner out of sight, but Kerry thought that she saw them. "Did you see that?" Kerry asked Honey "See what?" she replied. "Des pull Sheelagh around the corner" kerry said "No, didn't see anyone" she replied "Oh right" but Kerry thought she would leave it for now, she would find out later if it was true. Around the corner, Des had Sheelagh pinned against the wall and they were both in a fit of giggles. He leaned in and kissed her gently, but it soon became passionate. A young couple walked past the pair and made a comment on the pair. "Hope we are like that when we are older!" He pulled away from her and led her out, as he didn't want to get caught again. He had planned a day out for them which she had no idea about. Des had a hired a black convertible for the day so that they would be able to get around the island on there own. "Des where are we going?" Sheelagh asked him. "Now that is a surprise! But I know you will love it, Shee" he told her. He pulled up at the safari park, as he loved this kind of thing and wanted Sheelagh to be with him on this one. Sheelagh knew that he liked these things and was happy that he had brought her with him. They walked in hand in hand, the guide showed them to the vehicle they would be taking and told them a few rules which they had to follow. Sheelagh had never been on this type of thing so it was new to her and she was very excited about it! After a few hours and lots of pictures later they were leaving the park. Before they left Sheelagh wanted to thank Des for a wonderful afternoon so she pulled him into a slow lingering kiss, this made him feel so alive inside and made him confident that what he had planned for the evening would go down very well with her. After an hours drive, he pulled up at the marina, as he had hired a private yacht for the night. Sheelagh was becoming nervous again as she had never seen this side of Des before, but she had to admit that she liked this side of him every much! He led her to a little boat which was to take them out to the yacht. The butterflies in the pit of her stomach began to move around as she was getting more nervous, the closer they got to the yacht. "Des" She began. "Yes my sweet" he asked. When he said that a very big smile appeared on sheelaghs face as she liked being called his sweet. She couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted to say so she thought she would keep it until later. "Nothing. I am just really happy to be here with you." she told him as she snuggled in closer and he wrapped his arms tighter around her. Later that night after they had finished there meal they were sat on the top of the yacht, in each others arms. "I love you Shee" Des whispered quietly. Sheelagh untangled herself from his arms and got up. "Shee, what's wrong?" he asked her. "This, me.......I don't know Des. I just feel wrong. I feel like I shouldn't be here with you Des, I have a husband who loves me, and three grown up children. And here I am with you. Why did this happen? Why have I fallen for someone else? I don't understand Des" Sheelagh said as tears began to stain her cheeks. He walked up to her and put his arms around her, she snuggled in close to him. "I don't understand it either Shee. I mean I can understand the fact that I have fallen for you as you are beautiful, you are caring, you have a lovely smile and you are just an amazing lady. What I don't understand is why on earth you would fall for me! I mean I have a history of being a womaniser and I am not that well liked around the station, especially not by your mate Gina." He told her. "Yes well she will just have to live with it, wont she!" she said to him, with a smile. "You feeling a bit better now?" he asked. "Yeah" she replied. The sun was setting on the horizon, the sight was just amazing, 'just like Sheelagh' Des thought to himself. 'I wish this could last forever' he thought, but he knew it couldn't and this saddened him, the fact that he couldn't have the woman that he loved in his arms when ever he wanted. Des knew that it would have to be like this as Sheelagh would not leave her husband and kids for him, but he needed to know if she wanted to carry on their affair. After an hour Sheelagh stood up and began to walk off. "Where are you going?" Des asked her. "I am going inside, hopefully to find a bed, there is one isn't there?!" She asked. Des got up and walked up behind her. "What do you think?" he whispered in her ear, a big grin appeared on her face. Des picked her up and carried her to the bed, he put her down gently and looked her up and down. Redness crept into her cheeks as she was embarrassed by Des' glaze. Des noticed this so he got on the bed with her and kissed her gently, the kiss soon turned very passionate. For the next few hours Des and Sheelagh began to find out about each other in the way that only soul mates can do. A few hours later Sheelagh was lay in Des' arms, he couldn't hold his question in any longer. "Sheelagh" he began "Yeah" she answered quietly. "I don't know how to say this, but ermmmmm...do you want this to continue or is this just a holiday romance?" he asked her.
