Charles got to take Molly on her first proper holiday...

It was 3am when the alarm blared to awake Molly and Charles from their sleep. Molly groaned and was about to go back to sleep when she realised what day it was. Her eyes shot open and she sat up in bed and began to shake Charles awake.

"Wake up bossman! It's holiday day!" Molly said excitedly "Get me on that plane! I can't wait for cocktails on the beach."

Charles reluctantly opened his eyes and sat up yawning.

"You're worse than Sam on Christmas morning." He mumbled sleepily. "Is everything ready to go?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

Molly nodded eagerly.

"Yep! Your mum helped me organise everything before going to bed last night, our bags are ready to go, passports are in my handbag and the the taxi should be here in about an hour so we can grab a quick breakfast before we go." She replied.

Charles nodded in agreement before pulling Molly into his arms and attacking her with kisses. Molly giggled and half heartedly attempted to push him away.

"Traditional pre flight ritual here for you Dawsey." Charles said placing two pints of beer in front of Molly "You might gonna want to take pictures for Facebook."

Molly rolled her eyes and laughed at him but took a picture regardless. They were in the departure lounge of Bristol airport, waiting for the departure of their plane to Alicante.

"I genuinely can't tell you how excited I am!" Molly said, taking a drink of her beer. "the only time I've been on a plane was to Afgan so this is my first proper time on an aeroplane!"

Charles grinned at her.

"I'm honoured to be the one to take you on your first holiday. Now drink up Dawsey! Our flight will be on the board soon!"

"You will hold my hand during take off?" Molly asked with an edge of uncertainty to her voice.

"What, you feeling a bit nervous Lance Corporal Dawes?" Charles asked with a teasing edge to his voice but then he caught sight of Molly's look "I will hold your hand the whole way if you need me to." He added softly.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on... Molly. Arrived safely in Alicante, hope the weather stays good for us!

Molly pressed the post button on her Facebook status update. When they arrived in Spain it had been raining and Molly had been a bit disappointed to say the least, they were supposed to be going to Spain for the nice weather, not rain like the experienced in England! However once they'd arrived safely at their hotel the rain had disappeared and the sun had come out.

"Ready to go out and explore?" Charles asked her as he finished unpacking his belongings. "The rain has pissed off now. We can go and find a cocktail on the beach if you like?"

"I thought you would never ask." Molly replied grinning and stuffing her mobile phone in her handbag. "Lead the way bossman!"

Charles held his hand out to Molly and lead her out of their hotel room, out of their hotel and onto the street. Molly grinned, absorbing all the Spanish atmosphere.

"It's literally only a five minute walk to the beach from here. I thought we could wander down and then maybe plan what we're going to do for the rest of our time here. I've heard that the castle is a pretty good experience, and there's a boat trip out to one of the islands if you fancied it?" Charles asked Molly as they walked towards the beach.

Molly shook her head in response.

"I genuinely don't care what we do." She told him "As long as I'm with you, this is going to be the most amazing holiday." She replied.

Charles stopped and took Molly's face in his hands.

"I'm here with you, that's all that matters." He said kissing her.

Molly grinned and kissed him back.

"As nice as kissing you is, I was promised cocktails on the beach, so come on! I can see the sea!!" She said, almost running in the direction of the beach.

Charles laughed and followed his girlfriend.

"I know I've not been on a proper holiday before," Molly said, sipping on her margarita and she watched the waves crash onto the shore in front of her "but this is always going to be my favourite. I have sun and sand and alcohol," she indicated towards her drink "but most importantly I have you and for me, that's the best thing in the whole world."

Charles took her hand in his and kissed her knuckle gently.

"Anyone would think you were going soft of me Dawes." He laughed. "For the record I feel the same. I love you." He whispered.

"Ditto." Replied Molly with a grin.
