Chapter Eleven
The night slowly drifted past and the friends were barely talking to each other. As they all began to rise the following morning Stevie walked out the tent and smiled to Mickey and Ben. "You alright Serge?" Mickey asked. Stevie nodded "yeah fine, you two are up early". Ben gestured down towards the beach "Not as early as some". Stevie glanced to where Smithy sat on the sand. "He is in a right foul mood... whats up with him". Stevie shook her head "Dunno...". She watched as he began making his way back towards the tent, she knew he had to be coming to appolygise to her. He glared as he walked past her and into the tent, she smiled at the two men sat on the floor before following him. "Dont I even get a hello this morning" she asked. He shook his head turning to face her "No.. I dont want to talk to you". She laughed "What so thats it.. we just forget about the last eighteen months". Smithy just grunted at her, she shook her head as she pulled her engagement ring from her finger "You might as well have this back then". They both turned as Callum rose from where he had been laying and made his way to the doorway "Dont mind me" he smiled as he walked through. Smithy snatched the ring from her fingers "Should get half my money back if I flog it... and Im sure Stone will buy you a ring if you ask him really nicely" he barked before walking into his bedroom compartment.
Callum walked out the tent and smiled slightly to Mickey and Ben, "Morning". Mickey shook his head "Did you hear something?".
Callum sighed "Dont be so childish Mickey... I know I did wrong but right now I need your help". Ben shook his head "And why would we want to help you?". Callum smiled "Beacause if we don..." he paused as Stevie came out and stormed down towards the beach "You ok Stevie?" Mickey called, when he got no reply he shook his head glancing at Ben "Whats that all about?". Callum glared between the two "If you give me a chance Im trying to tell you..." the two looked back up at him. "Smithy has just dumped her... and I want your help to get them together". Mickey nodded "Ok.. we are listening". Callum lent down and pulled his hand from his pocket. "Whats that for?" Ben asked. Callum smiled "Its the padlock from my suitcase... We get them alone together in one of the bedrooms.. put this through the zips and leave them there until they make up..". Mickey interupted "Or kill each other... they have both got tempers this could be a dangerous situation". Callum shook his head "I know Smithy.. he might hate me at the moment but I know he adores Stevie.. they just need a chance". Ben nodded "We have to do something... otherwise this holiday has been a disaster from start to finish". Mickey smiled "Ok so whats the plan". Callum grinned "Ben you get Nate out the bedroom... we dont want him getting caught up in the middle of it.. Mickey get Stevie.. tell her Smithy wants to talk to her or something and I will wait armed with this" he grinned holding up the padlock.
"Smithy are you alright?" Nate smiled as Smithy chucked the ring down onto his sleeping bag. "Fucking terrific... Im finaly going to get my life back without her controlling everything I do". Nate shook his head "You dont mean that". Smithy laughed "She does my bloody head in... Stone is bloody welcome to her". Nate smirked "And I know you definatly dont mean that". They both turned as Ben appeared in the door way "Can I have a word Nate?" he smiled. Nate nodded "Go for it...". Ben shook his head "In private". Smithy glared at him "You got something to say Ben". He shook his head as Nate rose to his feet "Its fine come on" he walked from the compartment and followed Ben from the tent. "Whats up then?" he asked. Ben glanced down the beach to Mickey and nodded. "I will tell you in a minute.. just stay here".
Callum slipped into the compartment oppisite Smithys and smiled slightly at Mel. "What do you want?" she asked. He shook his head "Nothing... please just be quiet". She glared at him "Well get out of my room". He smiled "Do you care about Stevie?".
Mel nodded "Of corse". Callum nodded "Well we are trying to get her and Smithy back together so please just sit down and shut up for a minute". She glared at him before resting down onto the floor.
"Stevie... quick" Mickey called. Stevie shook her head "Leave me alone Mickey". He shook his head as he lent down beside her "Smithy and Callum are having a row... quick you need to stop Smithy from killing him". Stevie thought about it for a second before pushing herself to her feet and following Mickey up the beach. As they walked into the main compartment of the tent, she shook her head "I dont hear anything". Mickey smiled "Well maybe they have killed each other... they are in Smithys room" Stevie walked in and glanced round before her eyes fell to where Smithy sat on his sleeping bag, he looked up at her and stuffed something into his pocket "What do you want?" he barked. She shook her head "To stop you and Stone rowing...". Smithy laughed "Well as you can see he is not here... Im sure you will find him though". Stevie glared at him "For fu..." she paused as the zip to the small compartment shot down. She turned round and pulled at it "Its stuck.. Smithy.. it wont come up". He pulled her out the way "Move". He lent down and when it wouldnt move he turned to her "What the fuck of you done to it?". Stevie went to answer when she heard Callums voice shout "Right you two can stay in there until you make up". Smithy turned back to the zip "Stone let us out now... I swear I will fucking kill you". Callum turned to Mickey "Did you hear something?".
Mickey grinned "Nope... lets go". Callum smiled as they made there way to the door.
Mickey smiled to Nate and Ben sat outside the tent "Breakfast?" he asked. The two men nodded and rose to there feet "I'll get Mel and catch you up" Ben smiled. Callum smiled to the two remaining men "Have a good time". Mickey shook his head "You not coming?". Callum smiled "I didnt think I would be invited". Mickey nodded "I dont like what you did to Stevie... but at least you are trying to put things right.. come on". Ben and Mel smiled as they came from the tent "Smithy is going mental in there you sure he wont hurt her?". Nate shook his head "He wouldnt lay a finger on her... lets go".
"How fucking stupid can you get... they tricked you" he shouted. Stevie glared at him "Well I didnt see you figuring it out.. cant you just force it?". Smithy turned to her "I have already spent a fortune on this fucking holiday.. I cant afford to lose my deposit breaking this bloody thing too". She nodded "So we are stuck.. great". He watched as she sat down on his sleeping bag "Get off.." she shook her head "What?". He pointed to it "Get off... I dont want you sitting on my sleeping bag" She stood up "So where am I ment to sit?". He pointed to the hard ground "Sit on the floor". She laughed "You are fucking pathetic". He nodded "I would rather be pathetic than a slut". She stared at him for a second "Well you are hardly Mr Innocent are you... you shagged your way round half the station". He laughed "Well thats better then half of fucking Canley". She glared at him "Well im surprised you managed to get that many women into bed anyway... you are hardly something to write home about". He laughed as he moved close to her "And you say I am pathetic... lets be honest you cant exactly be brilliant Im the only idiot how has ever come back for seconds". She raised her hand to slap him "How dare you...". He grabbed her wrist and smirked slightly before moving into her lips, he kissed her letting his passion take over as he began pulling at her clothes. She pulled him over to the sleeping bag and pushed him down before climbing on top of him. He grinned as she pulled his top from his body before moving her lips down his chest.
"D'you reckon they will be ok?" Nate asked as they all sat round the large table. Mickey smiled "I hope so". Callum nodded "I know they will... Smithy told me once he had a woman he thought he loved and he lost her and he had promised himself that Stevie would never be the one that got away". Mickey nodded "He was completly broken when Louise died". Nate shook his head "Who was Louise?". Mickey glanced round the officers all staring at him "Louise Larson... she was married to a local gangster and Smithy started an affair with her". Ben smiled "Well that wasnt very smart". Callum glared at Mickey "Im his best mate... how could he not of told me about this". Mickey shook his head "I dont think it is something he likes to talk about... anyway Louises husband Pete... he had her murdered and then framed Smithy for it". Mel smiled slightly "So he has been accused of murder?". Mickey nodded "He went to prison... did three months". Callum stared at him "Are you serious?". Mickey nodded "It completly broke him... he always said he would never move on... until he met Stevie". Ben shook his head "I had heard he had been a bit of a lose cannon in his younger days... but I had no idea he had been to prison". Mickey nodded "There is loads you lot wouldnt know about him". Callum shook his head "Yeah and if he wanted us to know he would of told us". Mickey grinned as he lent foward "He has been accused of rape too... but he didnt do it". He began filling the normally uniformed officers in on there Inspector.
After he had finished he stayed on top of her, his arms either side of her face as he gently sroked her hair "I love you" he smiled. She nodded "I love you too". He placed a slight kiss to her lips and grinned as he pulled away "Why is it when ever we have a row... you seem to tell me Im useless in bed?". She laughed "Because..." she placed a slight kiss to his lips "When I tell you that you always take me to bed to prove me wrong". He smiled leaning into her lips again "So did I prove you wrong then?". She shook her head "You dont have to.. we both aleady know that you know your way round the bedroom". He glanced round "Or a tent". He reached for his jeans and pulled her engagement ring from his pocket "So you not gunna marry me?". She grinned "Of corse I am... but Im still angry with you". He nodded as he kissed her lips "Im still angry with you too". She smiled "Smithy... I dont want to start another row... but please try and forgive Callum". He shook his head "How can I... when he did that to you" he gestured to the bruise that stained her normally pale cheek. She shook her head "He has lost his girlfriend smithy... he needs his friends round him". Smithy nodded "Ok.. I will talk to him.. but you will owe me... big time". She nodded "What did you have in mind Inspector Smith?". He grinned "Well.. you can start by using that mouth of yours for something usefull". She nodded pushing him onto his back and placing slight kissess to his chest before gradualy moving down his body.
"I dont think I will ever look at Inspector Smith in the same way again" Mel smiled as she made her way back, she was walking a few steps behind Callum, Mickey and Nate. Ben smiled to her "He didnt do it... we know him Mel.. he is not a murderer and definatly not a rapist". She shook her head "He killed Kieran Wallace". Ben nodded "Because if he didnt.. Wallace would of killed him". Mickey turned back to them as they reached the tent "Come on.. you lot know Smithy.. he is a good bloke". Callum smiled "We gunna let them out". Mel glared at him slightly "Why dont you do it Serge... become the hero... Im gunna go for a walk" she stormed off towards the beach. Callum smiled as Ben glanced round them "I will make sure she is ok". The three men walked into the tent and smiled to the zip still padlocked "Its quiet... do you think they have killed each other?" Nate asked. Callum shook his head "No.. its the other". Mickey shook his head "Whats the other?". Callum smiled as he dug round in his pocket "They are shagging..." he paused as he pulled his hand out "I cant find the key" he stated.
Smithy sat on the sleeping bag watching as she pulled her clothes on, he stood up and grabbed the front of her shorts pulling her close to him "You are amazing Moss". She nodded "I know.." she lent up into his lips "I am sorry about everything that has happened since we have been here... its been a disaster". He grinned running his hand over her bra "I dunno.. there has been a few bits that have been pretty good". She smiled "I dont think I need to ask which bits". He gently kissed her lips and watched as she pulled her top over her head. She gestured to him standing in only his underwear "You gunna get dressed Smithy". He nodded grabbing his jeans "You know I love you... more than I have ever loved anyone". She grinned "I love you too..." she held her arms out "Come here" she pulled him into a tight hug before he walked over and sat on the sleeping bag, he pulled her down onto his lap. He lent into her lips but hearing the voice he pulled away "Smithy.. Stevie.. you two ok in there?". Smithy grinned at her "Yes we are good... you can let us out now Callum". He sighed glancing to Mickey "We will... just as soon as we find the key". Smithy stared at her for a second "Did he just say what I think he did?" she nodded. "I do hope you are joking Callum?". He sighed "No.. we think we lost it at the restaurant... Nate has gone back to check". Stevie stood up "I need to get out...Callum Im claustrophobic ". Callum smirked slightly "Well you are gunna have to wait a bit longer... you have managed the last hour and a half Stevie... I will go and make sure Ben and Mel havent got it". Smithy pulled on her hand "You will be ok Moss.. I will look after you.. and besides I can think of a way to pass the time". She smiled "Smithy.. we are stuck and all you can think about is your bloody dick". He smiled pulling her down on top of him "I ment.. we could start talking about the wedding". She grinned pushing her lips onto his.
"You ok Mel?" he asked sitting down next to her. She nodded "Im fine.. I just cant believe everyone has forgotten what he has done". Ben shook his head "No one has forgotten... but we need to be civil". She shook her head "He slept with my friend... he would of gone mad if it was the other way round". Ben nodded "Yeah I know.. but we need to try and enjoy the rest of the holiday". She stared at him "Why cant Callum be more like you.. your sensitve, caring.. a real man" she lent towards him and placed her lips to his. "Well this all looks very cosy.. and to think I felt guilty". Ben shook his head as he jumped up "Its not what it looks like Serge...". Callum shook his head "Knock yourself out mate... Im done trying to win..." he paused as his eyes fell to where Mel sat on the sand "Have either of you got the key... we cant get Smithy and Stevie out?". They both shook there heads as Callum walked back up the beach. Ben sighed "Shit... did you see his face?". Mel nodded "Yeah.. Im glad its about time he realised the world doesnt revolve around him".
