Chapter Seventeen
"Right I have gotta go to Çankaya... its where the British Embassy is..." Smithy smiled as he walked from the police station. Stevie nodded "So what happens?". He smiled between her and the two men "Well... they will sort out a replacement passport for me.. because I have my cards and driving licence as identification it should only take three or four days". Stevie smiled "But you will miss the flight home". He nodded "Yeah.. I will have to book on the next one to the UK once I have my passport" Nate smiled slightly "What about us?". Smithy shook his head "I dont expect you to stay... any of you.. but if I can borrow any money you have left until I get home... this is gunna cost me a fortune". Ben nodded "Corse.. where are you gunna stay?". Smithy shook his head "I dont really know.. there is a hotel just up the road... I will see if they have a room for a few days". Smithy smiled placing his hand under Stevies chin "You ok Moss?". She shook her head "Not really.. I dont want to go home without you". He pulled her into his arms and smiled slightly as the two men took there cue to give the couple some privacy "Stevie its a few days". She nodded "I know.. its not the time.. I will worry about you". He grinned kissing her lips gently "You just make sure them two get you home safe". She smiled slightly "Cant I stay with you?". He ran his hand through her hair "Stevie... I wish you could.. but we have no clothes.. hardly any money and the money I do have I need for my new passport.. and I have no where to stay.. I dont want you here sleeping on the street with me". She shook her head "You said you were going to a hotel". He shook his head "I just said that Stevie... I cant afford it". She glanced down "Im not leaving you". He nodded "Yes.. you are.. you need to get home and start setting the wheels in motion for the wedding". She smiled as she glanced to the floor "Our flight leaves in four hours Smithy... I will have to leave soon if I go". He nodded "I know.. so lets make the most of the time we have left shall we?".
They walked for about five minutes before arriving at the beach, he watched as Nate and Ben made there way down to the beach as he rested down on the sand. He smiled as she knelt infront of him inching her body inbetween his legs. She placed her lips gently to his, feeling his hand ruffle in her soft blonde hair and his smile that was growing under the kiss she pulled away and wiped at her eyes "Dont Stevie... please dont get upset". She shook her head "Im sorry... Im sorry Smithy I just.. I dont want to leave you here.. not really knowing when I am going to see you again". He smiled "I will be home as soon as I can Moss... I dont want to spend a minute away from you that I dont have too". She glanced down as he layed onto the sand "Just think at least I can keep my tan topped up". She lent over his body laying down on top of him she placed her lips to his chest "Oi.." he smiled as he pushed her lips from his body "You cant go getting me all turned on when you have to go in an minute... I will have no time to play". She smiled weakly "Im not a toy Smithy". He glanced down at her bikini and shorts "Well DS Moss that is a matter of opinion". She pushed her lips gently back onto his "Can I ask you something?". He nodded "Corse.. whats wrong?". She glanced down "I erm... do you blame me for the tent catching light?". He shook his head "Corse not Stevie it was no ones fault... its just one of those things". He pulled her lips back down to his.
"This is all we have left... you can keep it Smithy" Nate smiled "There is about five hundred Turkish liras.. so thats what.. about a hundred and eighty quid". Ben smiled "Yeah that was for our duty free vodka Smithy... so spend it wisely". Smithy grinned "Thanks.. I really am greatful". Stevie smiled as the two men rested down next to the couple "Have you kept money for the taxi to the airport". Nate nodded "Yeah we have kept back about thirty quid". Stevie nodded slightly as she turned back to Smithy "I have about a hundred pound but you will have to change it into liras Smithy". He nodded as he took hold of her hand "Thanks darlin'..." he glanced between the two young PCs "You look after her". Nate smiled "Of corse Smithy... even when we get back... you can even come and stay with me and Bella if you want?" he asked turning his attention to Stevie. she shook her head "Thanks Nate but I have lived on my own". He smiled slightly "Corse Serge". Smithy sighed "And uniform is gunna be a Sergeant down as well so make sure everyone pulls there weight". Nate grinned "I have passed my Sergeants exams Gov". Smithy sighed "Yes PC Roberts Im well aware... I will have a word with the super when I get back". Smithy couldnt help but return the young PCs smiled, he looked so excited. "Im not making any promises Nate". He nodded "I know Gov". Ben glanced at his watch "The taxi will be here in a minute.. we should walk up to the road". Nate nodded as the two rose to there feet. "Im not good with goodbyes... so I am gunna stay down here... I will see you back at home". The two men nodded and glanced at Stevie "I will catch you up in a minute". She watched them leave before she smiled to her boyfriend "I am going to miss you so much Smithy". He nodded "I will miss you too.. but its only for a couple of days Stevie". She smiled slightly "What if it doesnt get sorted that quick... it could end up being weeks". He smiled sarcastically "Thanks for that Moss.. as if Im not already worried enough". She glanced down "Sorry". He lent into her lips and placed a gentle kiss "Stevie.. I dont want you to go home upset... especially not at me.. so go home and get in touch with the registry office and start planning our wedding... yeah?". She nodded placing another kiss to his lips "I love you" he smiled as he pulled away, she could see the faint trace of a tear in his eyes. "I love you too" she cried pulling herself into his arms. "Go on Stevie... you will miss the flight" he smiled as he pulled away before placing another slight kiss to her lips.
"Whats going on?" she asked. He smiled slightly "Its not finished yet". Stevie saw the words wrote out in the candles. "Is that gunna say what I think it is?". He nodded "Theres not much point in finishing it now... I was gunna ask you to marry me?" he gestured to the ring set in the middle of the candles "Im sorry I ruined it". He took hold of her hand "I was gunna get down on one knee and everything". She moved into his arms "Are you not going to ask me now then?". He smiled "Im a bit embarressed.. we were ment to be alone so if you said no I wouldnt look like a complete twat". She smiled glancing up at him "I wont say no" She kept playing the memory over and over in her head as she sat on the bench with the two men, Nate had his hand wrapped round hers as the tears silently fell down her soft cheeks. "You know Moss.. you never went skinny dipping". She laughed glancing at the pool "I think you have seen me naked enough times to forget that". He smiled "Chicken..". She turned to him and stood up "I am not a chicken" she pulled her top over her head and dropped her shorts to the ground. She couldnt help the tears in as she thought of Smithy sat all alone on the beach, she knew even though he was normally so strong that deep down he was worried, scared even, she couldnt stop her train of thought jumping back to there first night together in Spain. "You really are a bit of a pervert arent you Inspector Smith?". He finaly made his eyes reach hers. "I have waited a long time to see you naked Moss". She grinned "Well.. if you want to see any more your gunna have to catch me first". She sprinted off accross the beach, glancing back to Smithy as he pushed himself to his feet and chased after her. She couldnt help the smile that etched its way accross her face as the next memory pushed its way into her mind "Will you keep your voice down?" he whispeared she pushed her lips to his "Leave me alone and I will be quiet" she grinned. He ran his hand through her hair "You dont know the meaning of the word Moss". He lifted the covers and glanced down at her body "Besides Im not finished with you yet". she laughed causing him to push his lips down to hers. As he pulled away she grinned "Wow..." he smiled "I have finally found away to shut Stevie Moss up... it must be a miricle" he chuckled. She slapped his arm causing him to push her arms down on the bed "Now that wasnt very nice was it" he grinned, leaning over her body. He licked his lips "I think..." she pulled from his arms and pushed her lips to his. "I think your gunna have to get youself under control Inspector Smith... I need my beauty sleep". He shook his head "You couldnt be more beautiful" he smiled before laying back down onto the bed. She pushed herself up to look down at him. "That is quite possibly the nicest thing you have ever said to me". He laughed "So Im not a complete arsehole then" she pushed her lips down onto his before resting her head onto his chest "Not at all". "Not at all" she smiled to herself. "What?" Nate asked glancing at the small detective. She shook her head "I said not at all... I was thinking out loud". The two men nodded as the taxi pulled up "You ready Serge?".
