The next morning they woke early. Condensation had formed on the windows all over the hotel and rain still poured on the other side. Looking up Sheelagh saw Des was still asleep. Snuggling into him Sheelagh noticed that she was no longer green and had returned to her natural colour. Looking at Des softly sleeping she kissed him on the cheek to wake him up.
"Morning" Whispered Sheelagh as Des opened his eyes
"Morning" Replied Des smiling.
"How you sleep"
"Like a baby" Laughed Sheelagh cuddling into his chest again.
"That's cause you are a baby, my baby" Smiled Des hugging her back.
"Three more days and I'm completely yours." Said Sheelagh thinking about telling Patrick.
"Yeah, me and you, alone, together, just us two" Said Des imagining the happy scene in his head.
"Des…?" Said Sheelagh sounding a bit guilty.
"What?" Said Des hoping she hadn't changed her mind
"You know when I tell Patrick and the kids, well their gonna have to decide who they wanna live with, and well…" Sheelagh said quietly.
"Yes, its fine, we'll all live together like a proper family" Interrupted Des prodding her nose playfully.
"I love you" Said Sheelagh
"Me too, but first we eat, I'm starving" Said Des getting up and putting his clothes on.
"So am I" Agreed Sheelagh. They got dressed then went down to breakfast. When they got down most of the people were already there.
"Morning all" Said Des happily as he walked in. He sat down in between Reg and Smithy on the table, Sheelagh sitting opposite between Jo and Eva.
"What's happening today then?" Asked Des grabbing a piece of toast from the pile in the middle of the table.
"Well, we gotta do the team tasks inside" Informed Jo.
"How?" Asked Phil
"Well, I over heard Adam asking if he could have a route through the board games" Said Jo pouring her and Sheelagh some orange juice.
"Your having a giggle!" Groaned Phil
"Its not that bad, I mean it might be fun." Said Eva optimistically
"How can board games be fun!" Protested Phil
"Hey they are, don't knock them till you've tried them, I play them with the kids all the time" Said Sheelagh smiling, she hadn't took her gaze off Des since they sat down.
"We could be playing twister!" Laughed Eva
"Yeah, see that's definitely not boring" Agreed Jo.
"Yeah your right" Gave in Phil "seeing Gina and Adam playing twister is quite amusing"
They laughed. They continued Breakfast happily chatting. Afterward they all went and sat in the library in their teams. Whilst Adam explained the days tasks.
"As you see, the rain hasn't stopped, so the days plans have been stopped and new ones have been arranged" Explained Adam. "Four games will be happening, a member from your team will take part in each, separate heats, so on till there is a winner from each, the winners will then get points"
"Sounds simple enough" Said Gina a fag hanging out of her mouth.
"Lets start then, the four games are chess, frustration, snakes and ladders and kaplunk, the matches have been arranged off you go" Began Adam. Everyone separated into their separate games. Playing their matched against each other took them all through the day. By six o'clock all games were complete and the winners were being pinned up on the board.
"Ha ha ha, over all we got 26 points" Cheered Sheelagh
"Yeah only cause you cheated" Laughed Sam
"No we didn't, the table was wonky to start with" Laughed Sheelagh sipping some more of her vodka and coke.
"Listen up people, the four winners will now complete in the final game for 15 points." said Adam
"Woooow" They all said taking on the act of a guest audience at a quiz show. Being coped up inside was really starting to show. They had all picked up little amusing habbit's each.
"The four contender's are Des, Gina, Ken and Jack" Laughed Adam
"And they will be…Wait for it…they will be competing in twister"
"What?" Said Gina her face dropped. "I'm gonna need another drink first" Gina sat and necked down four drinks that were on the table.
"This is gonna be good" Laughed Sam. Helping Sheelagh set up the map.
"Good look Dessie" Whispered Sheelagh followed by a wink as she went and sat back down.
Gina, Des, Ken and Jack all took there places.
"Its gonna be me sandwiched between three men, its not that bad" Laughed Sheelagh slapping Jack's arse. Everyone laughed and Jack slapped Gina's back.
"Calm down, we don't wanna do to much damage" Laughed Adam.
"OK, lets go" Began Phil who was in control of the spinner. After ten minutes of pure intense playing. Even though most of it was laughing Ken and Jack had dropped and only Gina and Des remained. Their legs and arms twisted together and sprawled across each other to reach the other circles.
"Your not gonna win Des, give up now!" Said Gina confidently.
"Nope, I'm going no where" Des argued moving his leg from red to green with a stretch.
"Yes"
"No"
"yes"
"no"
"yes"
"no"
"Yes!" Gina shouted this loudly as Des fell to the floor unable to stand up no longer.
"Wooooo-hooooooooo!" Gina stood up and ran round the room cheering. "Easy! Easy! Easy!" She repeated clapping her hands together above Des. Everybody Laughed.
