The finale update...
Caroline snuggled into Kate a little tighter as the morning light drifted in through the curtains, honestly they hadn't long gone to bed but as usual she was a creature of habit. Kate stirred as she snuggled in deeper enhaling her scent, the most magnificent flashback of the night before. The hours of pleasure until she begged and pleaded with kate to relinquish her body from her grasp, a wide smile spreading across her face at the memory. Kate shifted she always took a while to wake up, as she lay there she could feel caroline gently moving behind her tucking her leg between hers. A wicked smile becoming fixed to her own face as she turned to see a beautifully sleep eyed Caroline, she couldn't help but find her so sexy like this. No more defenses totally naked vulnerable and without the facade just Caroline, there was nothing more sexy in her mind. Caroline smirked "What?" She asked facing Kate, Kate's smile flickered more firmly across her face. "Nothing I was just thinking how wonderful and beautiful you are. No biggy" kate finished smiling " Arh that again, well I think you maybe slightly bias" Caroline smiled.
"You may be right Caroline but that doesn't necessarily mean my opinion is wrong now does it?" Kate quipped back turning to face her more fully. Kate pulled Caroline closer reveling in the feel as their bodies became closer, their lips millimeters apart eyes flickering from eyes to mouth and back again. Until finally Caroline closed the gap feeling her body melt at Kate's touch a small moan escaping her lips as they sunk into one another.
"kate?" Caroline whispered "I had something to ask you last night but it didn't quite seem the time, with all the" she paused thinking for the right phrase. "Heavy petting" Kate suggested grinning "yes that too but I meant the party" Caroline laughed. "I've been thinking about it for a while and I know it's all moving very fast, but it just seems like finally everything is fitting into place". kate smirked "yes indeed" she shuffled in closer to Caroline "this is big Kate", Carolines brow wrinkled at her struggle to express herself.
"Ok sorry go ahead" Caroline sat up a little "well Im totally in love with you, I can't imagine not waking up like this each morning. I'm head over heels the can't eat can't sleep kind of love like in the great novels Kate. How would you feel, I mean would you ..." She watched Kates intend gaze upon her now flushed cheeks. "Marry me" Caroline finished almost scared Kate would have a sensory overload, she waited eyes locked, then to her great pleasure a broad smile crossed Kate's lips. "Do you mean it Caroline?" She took a breathe taking in Carolines serious but loving expression followed by a nervous nod. "Yes.. I mean I'd love to.. Yes..yes..." Kate squealed.
Kate snuggled deeper into Caroline "I don't remember ever feeling this happy, wher have you been all my life Kate McKenzie" lips gently locking affirming their declaration. Kate drew back "Oh I have one condition though!" She smirked watching Carolines confusion, "which is" Caroline asked seriously.
"That you let me be there when you tell your mum. I know we're besties now but I can still imagine this could possibly be a little bit of a shock". Kate pulled a funny face at the thought, and at Carolines relieved expression both fell into to fits of laughter. Caroline stuck her tounuge out at kate "after last night Kate I'm hoping she will accept you, us and whatever makes me happy. Either way it won't stop me from marrying you and making you my beautiful wife".
Caroline rolled over her sleepy eyes reopening for the second time that morning, after a blissful morning of tender love expressing their pure euphoria. Kate wiggled next to her turning to her watch "Christ it's nearly 1" she chuckled. "Really? I haven't even turned my phone on I hope my mum and the boys are ok", "Caroline" kate spoke softly sweeping a stray hair from her face "they will be fine.
Regretfully its probably time to get up and head home" Caroline nodded pulling kate in closer as she attempted to leave the security of the double duvet,. "Are we going to tell them? Or shall we keep it to ourselves for a bit I understand if you want to..." Carolines finger met her lip. "I want to shout it from the rooftops I love you and I want everyone to know. No holding back for once I'm going to do what makes me happy and that is you, if that's ok with you?".
Caroline proudly took Kate's hand as they made their way down the stair case and to reception. Caroline found herself nibbling at Kate's neck as they waited for the bill for their room. All inhibitions gone she didn't care anymore the people who she loved accepted her and for the first time she felt a sense of freedom, to truly be her self.
No longer Dr Caroline Elliot the professional, a withdraw lonely woman going through life attempting to meet everyone else's needs but her own, and being utterly miserable . She was not her anymore, she was gone she was now soon to be Caroline Elliot- McKenzie. A new woman, confident yet vulnerable, professional but no longer withdrawn, accepting of herself and most importantly HAPPY.
