After the midnight wedding, everyone was very tried. They all decided to leave the the celebrations until they had all got some rest.
As the sun rose higher in the cloudless sky it began to seep into the rooms of the guests. Max still had his sleeping wife in his arms. He stretched his neck just enough to be able to kiss her on the cheek.
Zoe moved her head and rolled over to face Max. He put his arms back around her.
"Morning beautiful wife."
"Morning. I've still got to get used to the fact that I am now your wife it seems so surreal."
"In a good way?"
"Of course."
"Good." Max placed his hands behind Zoe's head and kissed her. She put her arms around his body and pulled herself closer. They lay in each other's embrace and drifted back into the land where dreams are made.
Sometime later there was a knock at the door.
Robyn shouted. "Come on lazies, we have a party to get to."
Max's eyes came to life.
"Zoe Zoe come on they are outside the door."
"Go answer it then"
Max got out of bed and quickly pulled on some clothes. He opened the door.
"Morning and to what do we owe this pleasure."
Robyn looked at him and then spoke.
"We have organised a party to celebrate your marriage so meet us at the beach at 2pm you have 1&1/2 hours to get ready so I suggest you get Zoe up now or she'll never be ready on time."
"Okay then and yeah that true."
Zoe heard the door close and then suddenly felt the covers being teared off her.
"Max!"
"Zoe. We only have and hour and a half you need to get up now."
"Fine, I'm going for a shower."
"Okay I'll tidy up a bit then."
Once Zoe had vacated the shower Max got in and Zoe set about doing her hair and makeup. Max came back into the room and walked over to his wife who was sat looking into the mirror just wrapped in a towel. He stood behind her and placed kissed from her jawline all the way down her neck and across her shoulder.
"Max behave, I need to get ready we haven't got long. Go and get dressed."
"You don't need all that stuff on your face your naturally beautiful. Come on let's have some fun."
"Max!."
"Fine."
Max gave up and proceeded to find some clothes. Zoe had now finally finished her face and hair and was now searching for a dress to wear. She picked out a purple sundress with black and white butterflies on. She slipped it over her swim wear and turned round to face Max.
"What do you think."
"Wow." He walked over to her and picked her up. "You look perfect." He kissed her and then placed her down.
It was a quarter to two. Zoe took Max's hand and the left the room. Once they were outside of the hotel. The suns rays fell upon them. They took the short walk to the beach.
When they got there they saw a banner saying 'Congratulations Mr & Mrs Walker' the music was playing and there were tables set up on the sand. The rest of the staff jumped up from behind a small bush.
"Congratulations."
Max and Zoe stood hand in hand smiling.
"Thank you so much. Shall we get this party started."
Dylan had made himself useful and was cooking on the barbecue. Everyone else had now taken off their first layer of clothing and was now venturing into the depths of the ocean.
Lofty and Max pushed the water and it covered the others. That was it a water fight was under way. It was one for all and all for one, no one was taking sides.
Sometime later Dylan announced that it was time to eat. They all took their places around the tables and tucked in. The food all seem to disappear rather quickly. It was time for speeches.
Lofty lent over to Max.
"Quick question, how long have you and Zoe been together?"
"Just over a year."
"A year and no one knew."
"That's the way it seems."
Lofty stood up.
"So I got dropped into the role of being best man right at the end so I'm going to have to improvise. Not many know put these two have been sneaking about behind our backs for over a year and no one knew. In the short time I've known Max I can tell that he truly loves Zoe and what do anything for her. I wish you a long and happy marriage but then again I'm sure you expect nothing less. Let's raise a glass to the the happy couple. To Zoe and Max."
Once drinks had been finished the sun was setting in the sky. A blanket of red, orange and purple light wrapped round the Earth.
"Time for our first dance don't you think." Max said taking Zoe's hand and leading her to a piece of clear sand. He placed his hands on her waist and she put hers around his neck. They danced as the sunset over the beach.
Once Max and Zoe's dance was over everyone else got up and joined in. Tess danced with Charlie, Robyn danced with lofty and to everyone's surprise Connie asked Rita to dance. Dylan sat and watched he loved seeing everyone so happy. It was bliss, they were caught up in the moment and no one had mentioned that tomorrow they had to return to reality and head back to Holby.
