Thank you so much for all the reviews and messages I got about finishing this story. You have all encouraged me to write more and finish this story how it was meant to be finished - I really do thank you all for it! So I have decided that there will be at least another 3 chapters to finish, if not more:)
And..cricket season has now started and I'm playing for 4 teams and I'm also coaching football, so updates will be really slow I imagine:(
Also I have 4 final exams coming up so I'm extremely busy revising and I also coach football on Saturday's so, updates are even slower:/
A few weeks later...
"Charles?"
"Yeah?" Charles walked over to Molly after making a mug of tea for her and a mug of Rosabaya for himself.
"What was on the laptop that you and your parents didn't want to show me?" Molly laid back on the sofa and rested her feet on Charles' lap.
"You'll find out in about 5 hours."
"What's happening? You know I hate surprises as much as I hate horror films!"
"You're going to love it, I promise!"
"Charles! Tell me, please!" Molly put her mug of tea on the coffee table, strolled over to Charles and sat on his lap facing him, "please?" She said quieter.
Charles thought about it for a moment and said, "no."
Molly sighed. She then rolled back over to the side of the sofa she was sitting on. By this time, Charles had finished his Rosabaya and went upstairs telling Molly not to follow. This left Molly really curious downstairs, but she used his laptop's search history to try and find something. Whilst this was happening, Charles was trying to decide what other clothes he should pack for Molly. He did have time to pack Molly's suitcase before, but didn't want to get caught out so started off with his suitcase. He also realised that Molly would be clever enough to search through his laptop history, but that was where he was one step ahead of her - he deleted it from his laptop.
3 hours later...
Charles came back in through the front door after putting the suitcases secretly in the boot of his car, "Come on Molls, we're going now."
Molly jumped up from her seat on the sofa and ran to hug Charles like a big kid, "where are we going?"
Charles hugged Molly back, "We are going away for a couple of weeks."
Molly took a step back, "oh shit! Wish you would've told me sooner, I ain't packed any of my stuff." She went to run upstairs but Charles grabbed hold of her wrist, "we can't play games Charles!"
"Relax. It's all packed." Charles pulled Molly closer to him, "all you have to do is go and sit in the car and try and figure out where we are going." He kissed the top of Molly's head and let go of her so she could wait in the car.
Charles ran up to his room to grab a box from his side of the bed and he put it in the rucksack he was going to take on the plane. He then ran back downstairs and into the black Mercedes E-Class Saloon, "figured it out yet Molls?" Charles turned the engine on.
"No. These clues are crap. It says that 'it is in Africa' and 'it's home to the Atlas Mountains' How exactly am I meant to get something from these clues? I barely went to school!"
"Alright. There is one more clue, but that is for when we arrive at the airport. So how about you sit back, put on your thinking cap and see if you can figure out where we are going."
"Can't you just tell me?" Charles turned out of the drive and headed towards Bristol Airport.
"Nope." Molly sighed, "you'll love it Molls, I promise." Charles picked up Molly's hand and kissed her knuckles.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
They eventually arrived after Molly kept falling in and out of sleep, and a volley of abuse to Charles for not telling her where they were going. They entered the airport, holding hands while behind them they were wheeling two suitcases. Because it was a warm summers afternoon at the destination, they were both wearing shorts, short sleeved tshirts and sunglasses, while Charles was wearing a NY black flat-peak backwards. Charles told Molly to go sit in Costa while he loaded the bags onto the baggage area where they were weighed and checked, because there was a long line.
He then met her in Costa and he ordered himself a coffee while Molly was drinking her tea. Charles then led Molly to the main part of the airport where they managed to have time for a Frankie & Benny's then they arrived at their gate as the few last ones to go through. Molly still hadn't figured out where they were going yet but when Charles was handing in the tickets, Molly was distracted by a poster about travelling to Morocco during the summer. They then walked down the couple of ramps to get to the airport bus. When they were on there, Molly turned round to Charles, "you know what Charlie."
"What?" Charles looked down at Molly whilst holding onto the handrail and her waist as there weren't any handrails left.
"There was a poster in the airport thingy and it was advertising Morocco. I've always wanted to go there, you'll promise to take me someday right?" Molly put her hands on Charles' chest.
"Of course I will Molls. It'll be great!" Charles kissed Molly's forehead while she turned back round to face the front of the bus. Charles knew that the secret could've nearly been ruined if she carried on talking about Morocco. The airport bus eventually stopped and they were only minutes away from boarding the plane. Charles shown the two tickets to the flight steward and instead of her taking them to the economy, they were heading towards first class. Molly slapped Charles back from behind, Charles turned around and winked at her. They were then led to a seat designed for couples in first class, which included a TV, a 2 seater sofa which could be turned into a sofa bed, a bottle of champagne and a couple of glasses. Charles also ordered the space next to the window as the only time Molly had been on a plane was to Afghanistan, and there were hardly any windows in the plane. Whereas for Charles, he had been on lots of planes during his four tours of Afghanistan and during summer holidays when he was home from boarding school.
They thanked the stewardess and were told that her name was Sophie and if they needed anything, to press the service button above their heads. Molly sat down of the sofa first and Charles sat down next to her. He wrapped an arm around her, "I could kill you Charles!" Molly leant her head on his shoulder.
"Why?"
"Well, is it not understandable? First you don't tell me where we're going, now you've booking us first class seats! Now can you tell me where we are going? Please?" Molly pulled 'puppy dog' eyes on Charles.
Charles went through his bag that was down by his feet and pulled out a wrapped present. He then handed it to Molly. She looked suspiciously at him, but unwrapped then looked at the title of the book, 'Arabic for dummies'. Molly looked up at Charles with a questionable look, "I still don't know where we are going Charles."
Suddenly the pilot came through on the speaker, "Welcome to British Airways. My name is Bob Mack and I am your pilot for today. Currently in Morocco today, it is 31 Degrees Celsius and by the time we get there, it will be about 24 Degrees Celsius. So pretty hot compared to England!"
As the pilot handed over to the stewardesses for their safety routine, Molly faced Charles and whispered, "you cheeky little shit!" Charles covered his mouth trying not to laugh, "why the fuck didn't you tell me?"
Charles took his hand away from his mouth and signalled to Molly to tell her to wait until the safety routine was over, "I wanted it to be a surprise Molls, I thought you'd like it."
"Of course I like it you muppet! I'm just shocked, no one has ever done anything like this for me before, or treated me like this. I'm so lucky!" Molly quickly gave Charles a peck on the lips, but Charles held the back of her head and deepened it. They finally let go after they were being told that they were about to take off, "I don't like this bit Charles. Never did like it when we went to Afghan."
"Come here." Charles squeezed Molly closer towards himself and she out his hands in his chest. She then buried her head in the crook of his neck, while still being sat down on her side of the sofa.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After about 4 hours of flying and Molly falling asleep on Charles while he fell asleep himself, they arrived at the Marrakech Menara Airport. Charles collect their suitcases of the baggage escalator and they made their way to a bus that was taken them, and others to their hotel resort. Their hotel was called Clubhotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie, which was family-friendly, but also relaxing for adults. During the bus journey there, Charles and Molly were listening to music sharing a pair of headphones, Molly was sat next to the window as was looking at vehicles that travelled past them at 6pm.
They arrived at their resort and Molly stood there with her mouth open, Charles went to the side of the bus and grabbed their suitcases that were being unloaded off the bus. He was wheeling them both, but Molly took one off him and they went to reception. They were told that their room number was 453 so they took their bags with them towards their room. As soon as Molly opened their door, she just stood there, not showing any signs that she was moving, "er hello? Molly?"
Molly then snapped out of her trance, "oh sorry." She walked forward and sat on the bed while Charles put the suitcases in the corner and unzipped them. He picked out some grey chino shorts and a short sleeve denim shirt, along with superdry flip flops, melon sunglasses and his NY flat peak. Molly wore some dip-dyed blue shorts, a white vest, superdry flip flops and sunglasses. They got dressed without speaking to each other because Molly was too busy looking around their hotel site while getting dressed.
After, Molly walked out on to their balcony and Charles came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and started to kiss her neck, "you ready?" Charles deductively whispered to her.
"If you keep going on like that, then we will never be able to leave this room." Molly turned around and pecked Charles' lips, then walked towards the door, "I'm bloody starving."
"Ditto." Charles was soon following behind her after putting their keys into his back pocket.
They walked out to the dining hall and were shown to a table for two. They were told that they could go up as many times as they want because it was all inclusive, so Molly and Charles went up to get their food, then came back down. They both ahead chips and a burger, which was delicious in their opinions. After they finished their main, they went up for a desert and they both chose the chocolate mousse and some biscuits. They then finished off their drinks and entered the entertainment hall, which was karaoke.
"Go get us a seat and I'll be with you in a second, I'm just getting drinks." Molly did as Charles ordered and found a couple of seats spare. He then came back with a glass of white wine, and a beer. Charles took a sip of his beer and smirked without realising.
"What'ya smirking at?" Molly turned to face Charles.
"Oh me? Nothing, nothing don't worry." Charles took another sip of his drink and placed it down.
After the woman finished her song, the presenter came back on stage and everyone clapped the woman who just sung, "so next up is...Molly and Charles."
Charles stood up and held out his hand for Molly to take. Molly sat there with her head in her hands, turning red. Charles whispered into Molly's ear "do it for me. It's only two songs."
Molly sighed but took Charles' hand and he led up her up to the stage. There were lots of cheering from the crowd because they were admiring Molly's bravery, "so Molly and Charles. Tell me a little bit about yourselves."
Charles was given another mic by the dj, "so I'm Charles James. I am a Captain in the army and I'm from Bath."
Molly was also given a mic by the dj, "I'm Molly. I'm a soldier in the British Army but unfortunately was injured during my tour so I haven't done anything to do with it yet. I am also a Military Cross holder and I'm from East London."
There were lots of cheers from the crowd this time because they both were serving in the British Army, "okay Molly and Charles, very interesting! What songs are you going to sing?"
Charles spoke first, "we are going to sing Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John and Last Party by Mika."
"Great!" The presenter then walked back stage and the dj started playing Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
They eventually finished the song, singing the same parts they did on tour. After the dj started playing the music for Last Party - which Charles knew was one of Molly's favourite songs currently.
After finishing both their duets, Charles took Molly's hand and led her off stage where they were congratulated by cheers and a few pat on the backs by people watching congratulating them on being in the army and singing their beautiful duets.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
After the entertainment and a few drinks, they were off to bed as it was a long day for them. Molly brushed her teeth first and Charles went in after as it was a fairly small bathroom. Molly got into bed first and Charles wrapped his arm around her waist. Molly whispered into Charles' ear, "I know I'm going to enjoy these couple of weeks. Thank you so much and I love you."
"I love you to princess." Charles kissed Molly's cheek and they were soon off in a deep sleep.
Yeah so I'm really sorry for the slow update, and hope this has fixed it all for you? There are a couple of more chapters, and I'm not saying anymore otherwise it would spoil it! And I actually went on holiday here last year in July/August for 2 weeks, so I thought it was best to write about it(: also, Last Party by Mika is one of my favourite songs and Mika is also one of the hottest and best artists I've heard off(; for those who possibly don't know, I like virtually all genres of music apart from rock, rap and county. But yeah(: hope you enjoyed this and I'll start the next one as soon as I figure it how to write it(: x
