5th July
Bill woke in the morning to the sun filtering through the curtains. He groaned softly and then grinned when the events of the previous night came back to him. Looking down he found Laura with her head resting on his shoulder, red hair fanned out over the pillow behind her and one leg thrown over his hips. She looked absolutely gorgeous, he could watch her for hours.
Bill was lightly stroking his hand down Laura's spine when his stomach rumbled and he realized he should probably get up and make a start on breakfast. Not having the heart to wake Laura though, he carefully extracted himself from her embrace, put on his boxers and headed towards the kitchen.
He was cutting up some fresh fruit when she walked out of his bedroom, dressed in one of his white dress shirts. "Morning" she said resting against the counter behind where he was cooking.
"Morning" he replied walking over to her and wrapping his arms around her waist. He brought his lips to hers in a heated kiss and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
When they broke apart she looked down at herself and said "I hope you don't mind...I didn't really want to put the dress back on".
"Not at all" he replied running his hands down her back and resting them on her ass, "it looks way better on you anyway".
She grinned and kissed him again. The couple embraced each other, enjoying being in the others company, only braking apart at the sound of toast popping up from the toaster.
"Breakfast is nearly ready, sit down and I'll bring it over" he said indicating towards the dining room table and handing her a cup of coffee.
She sat down and looked around Bill's house, not really having time, in the rush of everything last night to notice anything. The unit was a reasonable size, with two bedrooms, an ensuite and a full bathroom, as well as a small kitchen which was connected to a large living room filled with the boy's toys, a model ship and a large bookcase.
Bill put a hand over Laura's shoulders rubbing softly, as he placed a plate of fresh fruit, a bowl of yoghurt, and a plate of poached eggs and toast on the table.
"This looks great, thank you" she replied leaning over to give Bill a kiss, once he had seated himself next to her.
"Your welcome, dig in" he told her grabbing a piece of toast.
With breakfast over, Laura and Bill moved to the couch in the living room and nestled together as they finished their coffee.
"I have to pick the boys up from my parents in an hour, and I'm going to take them to that new interactive museum, would you come with us?" Bill asked.
"I'm not sure Bill, it's your time with the boys" she replied setting her coffee cup down on the coffee table.
"Well we talked last night about how our relationship is progressing and I'd like my boys to get to know you more" he said, "plus all I've heard on the phone from Zak the past month is when does he gets to see you again, even Lee asked me when we'd be seeing you again".
"Even Lee?" she asked grinning.
"Yes, even Lee is slowly starting to warm up to you" he replied wrapping his arm around her shoulders and pulling her into him.
"Okay, I'll come" she said smiling.
"Thank you" he replied kissing her forehead.
Sighing Laura moved out of his embrace and said "I guess we'd better get up now then, if you are going to make it to your parents in time to collect the boys".
"Yeah….you could take a shower with me, we'd both save time and conserve water" he told her grinning.
"Although the idea is very appealing, I think we'd end up late, and you need to drop me off before you collect the boys".
"Fine, I'll have a quick shower and then we'll get going".
"Do you have anything I could wear until I get home? Because although you approve of my outfit, I'm not so sure my neighbors will".
"I think I have a small regulation fleet tank and shorts I can give you" he replied as he got up and headed towards his room.
Bill opened his front door at 11am finding Laura dressed casually in a flowing sundress, which although modest showed off her stunning legs and curves.
"Hi" he said smiling, giving her a kiss and pulling her into a hug.
"Hey, where are the boys?" she asked looking up at him.
Bill didn't have time to answer before Zak came running down the hallway excitedly saying "Miss Laura!"
"Hi Zak" she replied kneeling down to hug him.
"Are you coming to the museum with us?" he asked hopefully.
"Yes I am" she told him.
"Yay" Zak said jumping up and down.
Laura laughed, giving him another hug, before turning around when she heard "hello Miss Laura" from Lee, as he shyly stepped into the living room.
"Hi Lee" she said smiling softly "how are you?"
"Good" he replied before adding "I won my first pyramid game last week".
"You did" Laura exclaimed happily for the boy "that's great".
Lee beamed at the praise and walked over to give Laura a hug as well.
"Okay everybody, let's get going" Bill said as he grabbed a backpack.
Lee buckled himself in, as Laura strapped Zak into his booster seat and Bill locked up the house.
Bill's task complete, he walked around to the driver's side door and hopped in the car, resting one of his hand on the center console. Laura smiled at him and laced her fingers with his.
"Woah" the boys said in unison upon stepping into the museum for the first time.
"Okay boys, now remember you have to hold onto either Laura or my hand at all times" Bill told the boys, looking at them to make sure they were listening.
"Yes Dad" they replied, each grabbing hold of one of Laura's hands.
"What am I? Chopped liver?" Bill whispered to Laura.
Laura just looked over at him and smirked, before leading the boys towards one of the first exhibits.
Bill walked beside Zak, trying to stop him from excitedly running from one exhibit to another. As although Zak was happy to touch everything he could reach, he didn't want to wait around and listen to the explanations Laura was giving Lee about the exhibits.
After an hour and a half of exploring the museum the group, which was starting to get hungry, headed towards the food court for lunch.
Bill grabbed them a table, helping Zak into the chair next to Lee's and pulling out the boys water bottles from the bag he'd brought, while Laura went to grab them something to eat.
Laura purchased a cheese and ham sandwich for Lee and Zak, and chicken salad sandwiches for herself and Bill.
"Here we go, a cheese and ham sandwich for Lee and Zak, cut into four triangles and chicken salad sandwiches for us" Laura said upon returning to the table.
"Thanks" Lee and Zak said gratefully taking the sandwiches and biting into them.
The boys didn't last long though after finishing their meals, as Bill could see his youngest sons eyes starting to drop.
"Come on buddy, you're looking tired, let's get you home" Bill said moving around the table to pick Zak up.
"No" Zak said pushing his Dad's hands away "want Miss Laura".
Laura chuckled but obliged the young boy, picking him up while Lee grabbed onto his father's hand.
Pulling into the driveway, Bill turned around to check on the boys, finding them both fast asleep. "Been a big day" he chuckled to Laura as she picked Zak up and he ushered a sleepy Lee out of the car.
The pair put the boys in their beds and closed the curtains in their room, before closing the door softly and walking out to the living room.
"You seemed to have charmed all the Adama men" Bill told Laura wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug.
"Well it took some time…they're good kids, it was nice to spend some more time with them" she replied leaning up to kiss him. The kiss intensified, Bill moving a hand to cup her jaw while he nibbled on her bottom lip.
"I'd better go" Laura whispered against his lips "we can't continue this with two little boys in the other room".
"Yeah you're right, I'll call you later tonight" he said and gave her one last kiss.
