Chapter Two- At the Hotel

Abby and Connor booked into the hotel as soon as they had finished writing up their reports and had been debriefed by Matt.

"Wow!" said Connor "What a brilliant room!"

Connor and Abby looked around. This room was so much nicer than the room they had been allowed to use when they had finally returned from the Cretacious. That had been very white and sterile. They had felt like outsiders staying there, and had been so grateful to Jess for taking them in.

This room was lovely, though not as big as the apartment, but still very large, comfortable and welcoming. There was an ensuite bathroom with a large and very clean shower. There was also a small area where they could sit and chill/ relax or watch TV or DVDs if they wanted, but they thought they wouldn't need that- not this stay anyway. The view wasn't particularly exciting, just lots of other buildings but they were high enough to have a view of rooftops stretching into the distance which, although not exciting was quite nice, and they could see grass and trees round and about if they looked down.

The view was pretty at night with all the lights on in the houses and street. They both liked standing at the large window, arms around each other, Abby's head resting on Connor's shoulder, looking out at the peaceful and tranquil scene outside.

"Perfect" whispered Abby

"Maybe if we're not called in too early tomorrow we could go and look at some rings. You can choose anything you want- I want it to be perfect for you"

"Oh Connor- everything has turned out so well. It took a while, but we're getting there…..aren't we?"

"Well, I'll find it hard to stop blaming myself for some things just yet" Connor owned up. Abby was really pleased he was opening up and not keeping things to himself as he had a habit of doing. "I'll never forget what I nearly did- how I didn't trust you- nearly lost you! And Philip! You know, I should have gone back for him. I just left him to die- how could I do that….."

"Sshhh!" Abby said, placing her fingers on Connor's lips "He wanted to do the right

thing. I guess he was just misguided and not bad after all. That Helen! - she ruined so many people's lives!" Abby thought of Stephen who had been manipulated by Helen- and Cutter who had been murdered by her. It was Helen's fault they had been lost in the Cretacious for a whole year. If she hadn't tried to kill all of humanity, they wouldn't have gone through the anomaly and had to endure that time of fear and uncertainty. And Danny was still lost to them even now…and Sarah… Abby shook her head slightly as if to clear away the dark thoughts…

"Let's not think of the bad times. We're here. We're together. We're ENGAGED!" she whooped on the last word.

Connor picked Abby up, and swung her round, planting a kiss full on her lips. They both fell onto the bed, laughing with the sheer joy of being alive and being together.

"Abby…" Connor said

"Mmm?"

"Don't know about you, but I'm starving!"

Abby laughed- "Trust you! - well OK, let's eat!"

"Shall we go down to the restaurant or shall we order room service? I kinda want to be away from other people right now?" said Connor.

"I'm happy just being here with you. Yeah let's order in"

With that, they looked at the menu in the little folder sitting on the table in their room, and Connor finally telephoned room service to order.

"They said the food will be ready in 30-45 minutes- er, what shall we do while we wait…?" said Connor innocently walking around the room, dragging his fingers across the back of the settee, a smile lurking at the corners of his mouth.

"I know a shower would be great!" said Abby, her eyes shining with humour. As she said this, she circled around Connor, hand trailing on his chest and moving around to his back as she walked. Connor groaned.

"See Yah!" she finished cheekily, and left him standing in the middle of the room alone as the bathroom door snapped shut.

"Oh!" exclaimed Connor, both disappointed and surprised. He just stood there in the same spot looking at the closed bathroom door. He heard the water running in the shower and as he stood there, the bathroom door suddenly opened an inch or two….

Connor's face broke out into one of his gorgeous huge grins, the cute dimple in his cheek deepening as his smile got wider. Tentatively, he went to the door.

"Abby?" he said softly. There was no reply.

"Abby?" he tried again- he pushed the door open a little wider and peered inside the room. The shower curtain was closed, and steam was coming from the shower with the sound of the water cascading down inside the cubicle. Connor went into the room and crossed over to the shower, and pulled the curtains aside. It was empty!

Suddenly the door behind him slammed shut. Connor spun around at the sound. Abby was standing in front of the door provocatively. One arm was stretched above her head against the door, and the other down a few inches from her side flat against the door, fingers splayed out-

"Hello, Connor" she said dramatically and sexily

"Er. H…h…hello?" Connor whispered, swallowing hard as his voice seemed to desert him, leaving his throat dry and unwilling to work.

"Come here," Abby suddenly cried, grabbing Connor by the collar of his tight tee shirt and pulling him close into a passionate kiss. Connor groaned as they embraced, pressing his lips against her soft rosebud mouth, pushing her lips apart with his tongue. Their kisses deepened and got more desperate and needy as they began to undress each other, and then stepped into the shower under the stream of warm water, lips still locked together. Connor turned and put shower gel in his hands, and rubbed Abby's back, smoothing the foam all over her. Abby whimpered with passion and desire…

"Connor…." She whispered "I…"

"I know! Me too" Connor whispered back as they joined together in the intimacy only couples in love share together…..

Some time later, as they were sitting in the lounge area of their room, close together, arms wrapped around each other, there was a knock on the door. When Connor answered it there was a trolley with their meal waiting for them. It looked lovely, and there was so much food! Connor wheeled it in, and they both just looked at it for a moment.

"Well, let's dig in!" said Connor, eventually grabbing the bottle of champagne they had ordered as a celebration of their engagement, and uncorking it with a loud 'pop'….
