Chapter Nine
Arriving down on the beach Smithy glanced round his friends as they layed a giant blanket out. He rested down next to where Stevie had sat and lent into her ear "You cant be serious about flirting with Ben... he will get the wrong idea". She nodded "Good... maybe I want him too". He sighed "I swear if you take this too far Stevie we will be finished.. Im not gunna let you make a fool of me". She just nodded before raising to her feet and walking to where Mickey and Ben sat. She pulled at her top off watching as Bens eyes lit up "So who is coming for a swim?". Mickey shook his head before diverting his eyes to where Smithy sat glaring at the three. Ben smiled "Go on then... I will keep you company". Stevie rose to her feet and slipped her shorts down her brown legs to reveal her bikini bellow before the two made there way down the beach.
Mel rested down next to the CD player and began flicking through some songs, she smiled to Smithy as he sat alone. "Are you ok Gov?" she asked. He tore his eyes from where Stevie and Ben splashed in the water "Yeah Im fine..". Mickey moved closer to Smithy and gestured down to Stevie "What is going on with you two?". Smithy shook his head "She is trying to teach me a lesson". Smithy watched as Stevie slipped in the water and Ben grabbed her bare hips to steady her. He stood up "Im going back..". Callum grabbed his friends arm as he passed him "Just ignore her... you know Stevie she will soon get bored if she thinks its not bothering you". Smithy shook his head "So it wouldnt bother you?" he gestured to the two as they now walked up the beach. "Corse.. but you need to just act like its nothing" he smiled as Smithy sat back down "Well thats easier said than done".
"Listen.. I am getting some vibes from you here Stevie.. whats going on?". She laughed glancing at Ben "Im just trying to annoy Smithy... dont read to much into it Ben.. my heart still belongs to him". Ben smirked slightly "So you are using me to wind Smithy up..". She nodded "Yeah.. is that a problem..". He smiled "Well whats in it for me?". She grinned "Well you get to spend the day flirting with me and Smithy wont say a word..". Ben smirked slightly "I like that but come on Stevie... the bloke adores you dont be so cruel". She smiled "Its not cruel Ben.. its a taste of his own medicine". He sighed "If I say no you are gunna flirt with me anyway, arent you?". She nodded and he sighed "Ok just dont go to far Stevie.. he is my Inspector I dont want him to make my life hell". She grinned leaning up and placing a slight kiss to his cheek "Thanks Ben".
Mel, Vicky and Mickey had all walked the short walk back to the bungalow, to get some food. "Mel.." Mickey grinned grabbing the young PCs arm, she turned back to him. "Is Vicky single?" he asked his face glowing with curiosity "Cause I feel like sometimes she likes me and others she doesnt..". Mel smiled as Vicky pushed the food into the basket "She is a difficult person Mickey.. just be carefull around her.. she has a habbit of causing a lot of hurt". Vicky appeared with the basket from the kitchen and grinned "We ready". Mel nodded as Vicky handed the food to Mickey "Come on then... I do want to get back to the beach before the sun goes down" she walked off infront "Just watch her Mickey... she will break your heart without giving it a second thought... she only cares about herself". Nate arrived back and rested down between Smithy and Callum. "Did she get off ok?" Smithy asked. Nate nodded "Yeah.. I feel so alone now though". Smithy smiled "You will see her in a few days". Nate nodded "Im thinking maybe I might propose when I get home". Smithy grinned "Thats great mate". Callum glanced between the two "You could have a double wedding". Smithy nodded his head towards Stevie as she sat with Ben "If she carries this on I wont be getting married". Nate stared at the two before back to Smithy "Whats going on?". Smithy just shook his head to dismiss the question. Callum stood up "I have had enough of this... Im gunna go and put her in her place".
He towered over Stevie and Ben and smiled "You two finished?". She shook her head "It has fuck all to do with you". Callum glared at Ben "Give us a minute...". Ben smiled slightly "I.." Callum interupted "Now Ben". He rested down on the sand next to Stevie and watched as Ben walked over and sat next to Nate. "Are you trying to start a fight?" he stressed. Stevie shook her head "Dont be so dramatic... Smithy knows it doesnt mean anything..". Callum laughed "Does he... cause he is talking about finishing with you.. calling the wedding off". She shook her head "No he loves me.. I love him". He laughed "You got a funny way of showing it?". Stevie glared at him, even sitting next to her, his tall frame towered over hers "This is all your fault... its down to you we are arguing". He stared at her for a second "What did I do?". She laughed "If you could keep it in your trousers Smithy wouldnt be sorting your problems out". Callum glanced at Smithy before back down to the small blonde "He told you about Vicky". She nodded "Yeah he did... how dare you come over here and have a go at me when you have cheated on your girlfriend, you are a hypocrite". Callum glared at her "FINE.. you think what you like.. I made one silly little mistake and if Mel finds out I will lose her... you are doing this to him on purpose.. and to top it off you are making him fucking watch". As he stood up and turned round his face dropped "If I find out what?". He grabbed her hand "Mel..". She shook her head "Whats going on... if I find out what Callum?". Stevie stood up making her way over to the group sitting on the blanket deciding the two needed some privacy.
She rested down next to Ben and smirked at Smithy, she could see the hurt in his eyes as he instantly diverted his gaze, as much as she hated to admit it maybe Callum was right, maybe she was going to end up losing Smithy over something so stupid. She watched as he rose to his feet and glanced between the five all sitting on the huge blanket "Im gunna go for a walk... I dont think I can stomack much more of this". Stevie watched as Vicky rose to her feet and followed him, she instantly felt jelous, maybe this was how Smithy had felt. she smiled as Nate and Mickey both glared at her "What are you doing?" Nate barked. She shook her head "Its nothing.. he is just over reacting". Mickey laughed "You can be a right bitch when you want to be". Nate nodded "Yeah you can... do you have any idea what he would do for you... it cost him hundreds to fly Bella out here.. for you, and that necklace cost him a small fortune and that is without the amount he has spent on your engagement ring... and you have chucked it all back in his face". She shook her head "Its not all about money.. he cant just chuck money at our relationship to sort the problems". Mickey shook his head "No.. you are right.. its not about the money.. who sat up all night with you when you were drugged.. held your hair back as you chucked your guts up..." Nate interupted "And who spent the night comforting you when we got lost on that mountain in Spain..". Ben smiled finaly deciding to do the right thing "He adores you Serge.. is it worth losing him?". She glanced to him as he walked along the beach, Vicky slightly behind him, if she carried on she would lose him and they would be over.
"Callum... tell me what is going on.. has something happened between you and Stevie?" she asked. He shook his head "No.. I..
Mel.. we dont need to do this". She nodded "I want to know Callum.. 'if I find out' what?". He glanced down to the sand "I.. I erm slept with someone else". She stared at him, her expression was emotionless as she eventually spoke "Stevie?". He shook his head "Who isnt important... Mel I love you". She shook her head "Tell me who Callum". He stared along the long beach at the tall blonde as she tried in vain to keep up with Smithy before returning his eyes to Mel "I dont no.. just someone I met I dont remember her name" he sighed deciding it would be to hard for Mel to hear the truth. "I need to be on my own.." she stressed before begining towards the small path leading back to the bungalow "Mel please.." he sighed grabbing her arm. "No Callum.. I cant look at you right now". He watched as she vertually ran up the beach.
"You could do so much better" she smiled grabbing on his arm. He smiled "Like you I supose?". She nodded slightly "I wouldnt do what she has done". He smiled "Maybe not... but I love Stevie.. I am in love with her nothing you say or she does is gunna change that". Vicky shook her head "She doesnt deserve you". He glared at her before staring down the beach at the small blonde as she rose to her feet "I dont care... she has me.. without her Im nothing... I could catch her in bed with Ben and I would still worship the ground she walks on.. your wrong, she deserves me.. I dont deserve her".
She nodded "You are right... how could I be so stupid" she rose to her feet and turned to chase after Smithy. "Are you happy now... not happy with just fucking your own relationship up.. thought you'd ruin mine too" Callum shouted. She shook her head "You did that all by yourself Callum" she went to walk past him, she could see Smithy heading back towards her. "You little bitch... do you not give a fuck about anyone but yourself?" he shouted grabbing her wrist. "Get off me" she shouted back. She caught site of the other three men rise there feet as a sharp pain shoot accross her face and then the soft sand against her skin where she now layed on the ground, it only took her a second to realise that Callum had hit her, but she remained on the floor, she could hear the men shouting at him until the reassuring hand pulled her to her feet. She placed her hand to her burning cheek before registering what was going on. Smithy had hold of Callum by the coller of his top, while Ben and Nate tried in vain to pull him away. Vicky was stood watching the comotion a slight smirk on her face. While Mickey was yelling abuse at Callum. "What the hell do you think you were doing?" Smithy shouted. Callum shook his head "Im sorry..." he tried to walk towards her but Smithy pulled him back "Stevie.. Im sorry.. I didnt me.." Smithy interupted "You lay a fucking finger on her again I swear to god I will kill you Stone". Still in a daze Stevie felt Smithy hands cup her face "You ok Moss?" he asked. She nodded still trying to take in what had just happened. she felt Smithys hands leave her face as he turned back to Callum "I despise men who raise there hands to women... you are just a bully Stone.. look at the size of her, how could you hit her". Callum tried to move towards her but feeling Smithys hands push him back he shouted "Im just trying to appolygise.. Stevie.. Im sor..". Smithy swung his fist and hit his best friend knocking him to the ground. He stared up at his Inspector "You stay away from her... from both of us". Smithy grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the path.
"What the hell was that all about?" Ben shouted as his sergeant found his feet. "Its her fault... because of her me and Mel are finished" he barked round them. Nate shook his head "So what.. you cant just go round hitting people". Callum nodded "I know.. Im sorry.." his eyes fell on Vicky as she smirked to herself. "This is your fucking fault... none of this would have happened if we hadnt slept together". Callum registered the shook covering Ben and Nates faces as they glanced between there Sergeant and Vicky. "You slept with him.." Mickey shouted turning to the pretty blonde. She nodded "It was a stupid mistake". He shook his head "It was never going to be me was it... not enough excitement someone who is actually single". Nate nodded "Is this your plan eh... you split up Callum and Mel and now your going after Smithy and Stevie". She shook her head "Its not like that.. I..". Mickey glared at her "Dont fucking bother" he marched up the beach. Ben and Nate glanced at each other and then to Callum as he began to speak "I cant believe this.. Mel will never forgive me.. and now Smithy hates me too". Ben shook his head "And I cant say I blame them.. its everyones fault except your own eh Stone... Im going to find Mel".
Once in the safty of the bungalow Stevie finally relesed the tears she had been holding back. He led her into the kitchen and pulled a chair out from the table and helped her to rest into it. He moved to the frezzer and pulled out the first frozen bag he found. He placed it gently onto her cheek, placing his other hand to the other side of her face, he rubed circles into her cheek with his thumb and smiled slightly "It will stop it swelling". She returned his smile staring into his eyes "Thank you... I dont deserve you". He smiled pushing his lips to hers, lingering there for a second "I love you... you know you mean the world to me". She glanced down "This is all my fault.. if I hadnt of flirted with Ben none of this would have happened.." Smithy used his lips to silence her as he placed another gentle kiss to her lips "He was out of order... whatever you did he had no right to hit you". She shook her head "Im sorry about Ben.. you know it didnt mean anything.. I just wanted you to remember that you had me". He smiled "Stevie.. I will never forget about you.. you have made me so happy.. Im the luckiest man alive".
Ben jogged up the beach and finaly reaching Mickeys side he smiled to the young detective. "You ok?" he asked. Mickey shook his head "I cant believe this.. that he slept with her and then blammed Stevie for it". Ben nodded "He was out of order.. but he knows that... especially after Smithy hit him" he smiled slightly. Mickey nodded "Well he fucking deserved it... you know what he deserved more.. Im gunna fucking kill him". Ben chased after him as he marched back down the beach.
