Kate sighed sitting in the back of the class trying to pay attention to the lecture but each time she looked up she was distracted by Mike talking to them and she would lose her focus and her mind would just turn to jelly.
"McGregor, can I have a word please?" Mike called as everyone was leaving.
"Sir" she said walking up to him pulling her bag on to her shoulder
Waiting till everyone had left Mike reached out pulling her in to him sneaking his arm around her waist. allowing her bag to fall to the floor she wrapped her arms around his neck. Leaning in to him she could feel his thumbs pressing in to the base of her spine.
"so..." he smiled
"So.." she grinned
"As there no classes for us next week I was wondering if you wanted to get out of here for a few days, somewhere secluded and just us" he said softly
"Really and where did you have in mind?" she said looking up in to his eyes smiling coyly,
"now that would be telling" he smiled "its a surprise"
Biting her bottom lip, she nodded softly "okay sounds fun" she grinned. At least they could have some time together that wouldn't be interrupted by having to be in class or sneaking around meeting off campus they could just enjoy each other's company.
"so I will pick you up at 6 tomorrow" he said
"okay" she grinned "Sir" she said as she walked out.
Heading home she pulled her case from under her bed. Placing it on her bed she pulled open the wardrobe. It was going to be tough to pack something as she had no idea what he had planned or where they would be going
Pulling out a couple of pairs of shorts and a couple of shirts she sighed rummaging through the clothes on the shelf, also had no idea how long he meant, a couple of days could be anything from 2 days to the whole week. Looking at the clock on the wall she grabbed her bag grateful that there was late night shopping so she could get some extra bits.
It was a short drive across the city to the Westfield shopping centre parking up she was also glad the late-night shopping also came with free parking. She spent a couple of hours walking round she managed to get some patterned leggings and matching tops which she could wear in the car if anything else. She also got some pyjamas and 2 new bikinis so she could at least go swimming.
After getting the last few bits she wanted she headed home to finish packing her case adding the things she had just brought she pulled the zip round having packed for all eventualities she had thought of. Leaving the case in the hall so it was easy to grab in the morning.
she woke early the following morning. The sun was just beginning to creep up through the curtains. Walking in to the kitchen she flicked the switch on the kettle making herself a cup of coffee. She was glad she had done most of her packing last night. She just had to add the few things she couldn't have packed as well as a bag for the front of the car with drinks and snacks as she had no idea how long they would be on the road for.
Taking the coffee back in to the bedroom she finished her last minuet packing and changed in to a pair of leggings and a baggy t-shirt she was going for comfort over style especially as she would be in the car for several hours or more
Hearing a knock at the door she sighed looking at the clock she hadn't realised how fast time had gone. Walking over she pulled the door open, seeing Mike she smiled pulling the door right open.
"morning" he smiled
"morning" she yawned looking at his smiling face.
"You ready" he asked looking at her case and bag that sat in the hall.
"almost" she said stuffing her feet in to a pair of plimsoles, before walking in to the kitchen filling a travel cup with the last of the coffee she had made earlier. Screwing the lid on she turned smiling "are you going to tell me where we are going?" she said
"Philip island" he smiled
"Hense the early start" she smiled she had spent enough time in the car as a kid to know how vast Australia actually was.
"Yes, it should take around 10 hours. Especially if we avoid Canberra" he said picking up her case carrying it to the door.
Taking one last look around her apartment making sure everything was turned off in case of a power surge and also that she had got everything she would need.
Pulling the door shut she turned the lock walking down the path, placing her bag on the floor in front of her she pulled the belt around her clicking it in to place.
"let's go" she smiled looking over at Mike
It took a little over 12 hours for them to get to their final destination and that included a stop for a few hours for some lunch and a break from the road.
Opening the door to the hotel room Mike had booked looking round she smiled. it was a bright airy room with a large king-sized bed. There was a ice bucket with Champaign and 2 glasses as well as a small box of chocolate truffles from the island's chocolate shop
"This is amazing" she said pulling at one of the drapes at the huge double aspect window to reveal a view of the ocean at Smiths Beach. Turning to face him she smiled still exploring the huge room. Walking over to a wooden door she carefully pulled it open to reveal the bathroom.
The bathroom was equally spectacular, there was a large double shower and a huge roll top bath that was free standing and big enough for 2.
Heading back in to the main room she smiled as Mike handed her one of the glasses.
"thanks" she smiled sipping it
"so, what do you want to do tonight?" he smiled
"to be honest I just want to go to bed, I am knackered" she said
"Really, I thought we could go get some dinner and maybe take in a walk along the beach" he said
"Well, we could always get some room service and spend the evening up here" she said stepping closer to him
"okay" he smiled sneaking his arm around her waist pulling her closer easing the glass from her hand walking her back towards the bed.
She awoke the following morning resting against his bare chest. Smiling softly, she quietly slid from the sheets so as not to disturb him. Picking up the shirt he had been wearing the previous day she pulled it over her head before quietly opening the French door out on to the balcony that they had.
The view they had was amazing over the Bass Straight made even more amazing with the sun showing its head over the horizon.
"There you are" Mike said softly walking up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist kissing down her neck. Pulling back, he looked at her "is that my sweater?" he said
"i was cold" she grinned
" I am not surprised in those pyjamas" he said looking at the shorts that were just sat under the hem of his shirt which was sat at the top of her thighs
"Well, I didn't hear any complaints last night" she said turning to face him, smiling softly trying to read his mind his eyes flickering with a glint in the low light.
"i thought I might grab a shower" he announced smiling "care to try it out for size" he said
Chewing her lip as he ran his hand along her arm she nodded softly as he lead her towards the bathroom...
