At eight o'clock they sat in the pub waiting for Jack to arrive. Sam and Phil sat next to each other, giving each other loving glances every so often.
"Come on then, whats going on with you two?" Asked Des after 10minutes of just watching them. "Anything you would like us to know"
"No, why would there be?" Defended Sam a bit surprised.
"You seem to not be arguing for once and actually liking each others company" explained Reg joining in.
"That doesn't mean there's something going on between us" Helped Phil seeing Sam was lost for words.
"We never said there was" Laughed Des "But seen as you've brought it up, is there?" Sam and Phil looked at each other before holding hands. Sheelagh and Reg watched on in amazement.
"Me and Sam are married" Smiled Phil not taking his eyes off Sam's. Who stared back just as helplessly.
"No way" Reg said shocked. Spilling some of his beer on the table.
"How long?" joined in Sheelagh
"two years on Saturday" Smiled Sam
"Congratulations!" Cheered Sheelagh happy for them, giving Sam a hug.
"Yeah well done mate" Said Des patting Phil on the shoulder.
"You kept that quite?" Laughed Reg
"Well we just wanted some privacy" Explained Sam
"Right, Lets drink to the happy couple, same again everyone?" Said Des getting up and going to the bar. Minutes later Des returned with three pints, a white wine and a lemonade. Placing them on the table he looked up to see Jack entering the bar.
"Hi" Sam said happily "We told them"
"Thank god for that, you wouldn't have coped if not" Jack said taking a seat next to Sheelagh
"Why? We have done before?" Asked Phil confused.
"Yeah, but the situations changed" Informed Jack "I've just been in a meeting with the borough commander and he's told me some interesting news." You could tell how much Jack was thinking of how to say this.
"What news?" Asked Sam taking a sip of her wine
"He feels for the case to work you have to have easy communication" Explained Jack
"We are doing" Smiled Reg pleased they were doing something right.
"I know, that's what I said. But he thinks that it would be better if you were living together" Jack said surveying their reactions.
"And where does he suggest we do that?" Spat Phil chocking on his beer. So was Des at this point.
"In a house" Said Jack
"I know that, but where?" Phil sighed shaking his head.
"Well they've rented one out for you about 15minutes away from the school." Informed Jack standing up "Right, finish your drinks. I'm gonna show you in now"
"What, as in were moving in tonight?" Asked Des shocked.
"Yeah, correct Des" Jack smiled beginning to walk off followed by Sam and Phil.
"Well this should be fun?" Laughed Des downing his pint and walking into the car park with Reg and Sheelagh.
"Des, you don't mind if I get in with you do you? I ain't got a car with me" Asked Sheelagh
"Yeah, I got Reg in, so you might as well join us" Smiled Des unlocking the car.
"Thanks" Smiled Sheelagh. Reg walked round to get in the front passenger seat.
"Be a gentle man Reg and let Sheelagh sit in the front" Ordered Des shutting the door Sheelagh had opened.
"No its fine" Said Sheelagh
"Trust me. Hes safer in the back" Des joked leading Sheelagh round to the front. Des placed his arm round her back. As they walked further round the car, he slipped his hand lower and lower. Sheelagh felt a tingle run through her body. His hand was edging toughing her bum. Des opened the door and watched her sit down smiling at her. Sheelagh smiled back as she sat down. Des shut the door and got in at his side.
"You not gonna fasten my seat belt?" Flirted Sheelagh, trying to let Reg click on.
"If I must" Said Des reaching across her to get the seat belt. Sheelagh could feel him breathing on the side of her neck. If Reg wasn't there she would have kissed him she thought. He stretched the belt across her clipping her in.
"We better follow then" Said Des setting off after Jacks car. After about 20minutes they pulled up outside a large modern looking house. I t had gates that led to a long drive and to a double garage at the side. The house itself had a large oak looking wooden door, with large bay windows on either sides. Positioned in the same place upstairs .
"No wonder they don't want the case to go wrong if there spending out on renting this" Said Phil as they walked in.
"Wow its amazing" Gasped Sheelagh looking round. Everything was spotless and looked practically brand new.
"Its got 5 bedrooms, so don't worry, you won't have to share. They are all en suite as well" Explained Jack throwing each of them a pair of keys.
"You mean, we don't have to pay anything at all?" Asked Des in shock.
"No treat the place as your own" Laughed Jack
"Party!" Shouted Des
"Des!" Laughed Sheelagh
"I'll be by at 7 o'clock tomorrow, hope you settle in alright" Jack left without saying another word. After exploring the downstairs which included a gigantic kitchen, a huge dining room, a conservatory and a huge sitting room. They went upstairs and explored there.
"Bagsey, my room!" Shouted Des jumping on the king size bed. "Seen as it's the biggest"
"There all this big" Laughed Reg peeking in every room. Then going back down stairs with Phil and Sam.
"Good job. Or I'd have to fight you for this one Des" Said Sheelagh jumping on the bed laying down next to Des.
"If they weren't, I'd just like you to know, that I'd share with you" Said Des turning on his side so that he leaned over Sheelagh. He put his hand on her thigh.
"I'll bear that in mind next time I have a bad dream" Flirted Sheelagh putting her hand on his chest.
"As long as you let me see you, when I have a bad dream" Said Des putting her fingers together with his.
"Of course I will" Smiled Sheelagh.
"Do use's want something from the chippy?" Shouted Phil up the stairs. Sheelagh and Des pulled apart.
"Yeah, were coming down now" Replied Des standing up. "What you want?" Asked Des Smiling at the door.
"Nothing, I'm not hungry, I'm gonna have a bath." Said Sheelagh standing up. "Maybe you can come and scrub my back in a bit"
Sheelagh walked into her room before Des could answer. He gave out a little cheer before skipping happily down the stairs.
