Just after 4 this morning Clarisse and Joseph arrived home from their second honeymoon. Clarisse left a note for Sofia down on the table in the hall, letting them know that they were home then headed up to bed to try and get some sleep.
Both waking up at lunch time, after getting ready they headed downstairs to an empty house. Or so they thought, when they went into the kitchen they found everyone was out by the pool. They let them know they were down then headed back into the kitchen and as Joseph made the tea Clarisse made them something to eat, after everyone else had already eaten.
Joseph put their tea down on the table and looked over at her, even though she was wearing a long skirt he could see from the way she was standing that she stood the way he loved. He grinned to himself and headed over, placing his hands on her side while kissing her ear, forcing her to tilt her head a little.
"Joseph," she smiled adding some more stuff to their plates.
"What?" he smiled wrapping his arms around her, holding her back against him "I couldn't help myself." he said and nuzzled her neck making her laugh.
"Stop it," she laughed putting her hands on his arms around her "We are home now, we need to behave."
"Since when have you ever behaved at home?" he smirked trying to turn her around in his grasp, but she refused and started laughing "Clari.." he whispered.
"No, I'm not turning." she smiled then laughed as he started tickling her.
"And why not?" he whispered in her ear then tickled her again.
She managed to push his hands down and composed herself "You know why," she answered grabbing their plates and moved away and walked over to the table.
"Oh that's no fun," he exclaimed while moving and sat next to her as she smiled at him.
After they ate, Joseph watched as Clarisse sipped her tea and put the cup down, going into a day dream.
"Are we having a family dinner tonight, I can't remember?" Joseph asked while looking at Clarisse "Hello?" he smirked waving his hand in front of her as she came too and looked at him "I asked you something but you you were in your own world," he chuckled "Anything exciting going on?" he laughed while standing up and put their plates and cups in the dishwasher.
"Oh just day dreaming about our holiday," she smiled "Wishing I was back there." she grinned tipping her head back as he stood behind her with a cheeky smile "What did you ask me?" she smiled while sitting up.
"I just asked you if we were still having the family dinner tonight, I can't remember." Joseph smiled while leaning on the back of her chair.
"Um.." she sat thinking a moment "Yes I think we are," she said turning "We are I just remembered I arranged it before we left." she smiled.
"Ok," he smiled with a nod "Come on, we best go out there before they come in here." he said holding out his hand for her as she nodded and stood up.
"You best go and get changed, you know James is gonna want you in that pool." Clarisse smiled pushing her chair under the table.
"And what about you?" he asked with a small smile.
"Oh I am already ready for the pool." she giggled and walked over to the door, looking back at him.
"How so?" he asked.
"I have what I need on, under here, now go and get changed." she smiled and headed over to everyone else.
"Hey Mom." Sofia smiled watching her sit down on the sun lounger "That's a nice Kaftan, is it new?" she asked as Olivia passed Ella to Clarisse.
"Yep, I got it on holiday." she smiled as Ella gave her a hug "Thank you darling." Clarisse smiled and gave her forehead a kiss.
"Fancy going swimming with Ella today?" Sofia asked.
"Of course," Clarisse nodded and looked at Ella "Ready for some swimming?" she asked as Olivia and Sofia looked at each other then back at her "Take her Olivia."
"Ok." she said reaching over and took Ella and watched as Clarisse stood up and lifted her Kaftan over her head, putting it over the back of the lounger "Ahh." she smirked at Ella.
"You cheated, Poor Dad." Sofia laughed and watched her step out of her skirt then reached over checking something "Is that a Tankini?" she asked.
"Yep." Clarisse nodded "Are you going to pass her to me once I'm in the water?"
"Sure." Olivia smiled and watched her walk over to the pool and climb in the shallow end.
As Olivia passed Ella to Clarisse, she turned her around so Ella's back was against her front and watched Joseph came back out with Pierre and Charlotte.
"That's not fair, you cheated." Joseph smirked while walking down the stairs into the pool as Clarisse laughed and watched him swim over to them.
"Look it's Grampy." Clarisse smiled at Ella as she reached out for him as he stayed in the water up to his neck.
"Tell your Grammy she's a cheat, Ella." Joseph smirked while standing up in front of them and took Ella's hand, kissing her fingers while moving to the side a little putting his hand on Clarisse's back "Your not really." he smirked and kissed her while lowering his hand onto her ass.
"Ella," Clarisse whispered while lowering her head "Tell Grampy to remove his hand from Grammy's bum." she smirked then laughed as Joseph patted it once then fell backwards into the water, making Ella laugh.
After a moment he came back and took Ella from her, giving her a small swimming lesson as Clarisse moved and sat on the stairs watching them.
"Look Grammy," Lilly exclaimed "I can swim now," she smiled as she swam over to her.
"That's great darling," Clarisse smiled watching her go to grab her leg but missed and went down in the water a little making her panic "It's alright Lilly," she said grabbing her and helped her stand up "It's ok, I got you." she wrapped her arms around her as Lilly wrapped hers around her neck, after a moment she looked at her "Are you ok?"
"Yeah." Lilly nodded and let go of her neck.
"Good girl." Clarisse smiled and watched her move sitting on her lap as Joseph passed Ella back to Olivia and swam off with James.
Clarisse watched Lilly as she watched them messing around, with a smile she put her hand up and brushed her hair back out of her face, making Lilly look at her then rested back against her front with a smile.
"Love you Grammy." Lilly smiled as Clarisse wrapped her arms around her shoulders.
"Love you too, beautiful." She smiled and kissed the side of her head before looking back out at Joseph and James.
Not long after he swam over to them and rested his arms on the stairs beside Clarisse as she looked down at him.
"What's wrong?" she asked as he moved closer and kissed her side while moving his arm along, placing his hand on her lower back.
"Nothing, I just wanted to be close to you." he smiled up at her as she lifted her arm, putting it over his back giving it a little rub.
"Aww your to cute." she smiled and lent back, resting her elbow on one of the steps behind her while leaving her other arm around Lilly, sitting on her lap.
"Wish we was still on holiday." Joseph sighed.
"Me too," Clarisse smiled.
"Would have you all to myself then," he grinned at her.
"Indeed." she smiled and watched him move closer, raising himself up a little and kissed her.
"Oh yeah Mom," Sofia called out as Joseph moved back and Clarisse turned a little to look at her "I forgot to ask, did you have a nice holiday?"
"Yes, it was amazing." Clarisse smiled over at them.
"What did you do?" she asked while watching her turn back to face the other way.
"We did lots, took a horse back ride along the beach, took a few walks, went on a sunset cruise, but mainly we stayed in our apartment." Joseph smiled over them with a wink as Clarisse laughed and playfully slapped his arm "What?" he asked "It's the truth." he laughed as Clarisse pushed him away from her.
"Oh Mom come on, we knew that was gonna happen." Sofia smirked as Clarisse turned back to her "It's not you otherwise." she smirked.
After a few minutes, everyone else came over to the pool. Not long after Clarisse left them to it and walked over to have some of her drink, being joined by Joseph who stood really close to her while taking her drink then watched as she sat down on the lounger.
"Are you ok?" he asked and sipped her drink, before leaning over and put it back on the table and sat down on the edge of her lounger.
"Yep." she nodded with a smile "Think the jet lag is catching up with me a little." she nodded.
"Ahh I see." he smiled putting his hand on her thigh "Want some company?" he asked and watched her nod, with a smile he moved sitting on the lounger between her legs and gently rested back against her front as she locked her arms around his shoulders and kissed his neck.
"That looks odd you sitting like that?" Olivia smiled as Sasha came up behind her.
"Yeah, with Josephs huge frame you can't even see your body Aunt Clarisse." Sasha giggled.
"That's the plan," she smirked "I can hide then." she giggled.
"Ahh," Sasha smiled and grabbed her drink before sitting down next to them as Sofia came over.
"Oh that's to cute, let me get a photo of this?" she smiled grabbing her camera and took a couple photos "Thank you." she smiled and sat back down.
"She gets that from you, you know?" Clarisse whispered in his ear as Joseph nodded.
"Right," Joseph smiled sitting up and turned a little "I'm going to go and get a beer, want one?" he asked looking at Clarisse.
"No thank you, my iced water is just fine." she smiled.
"Well do you want me to bring you another one out, just in case?" he smirked.
"Ok." she smiled and watched him walk off.
While he was gone she had a quick chat with Sasha and Sofia, then they went back over to the pool when Joseph came back, sitting back on the lounger with her. After a while she disappeared inside, returning a while later just as Pierre threw Olivia into the pool followed by Marla as Joseph pushed Amelia in. All coming up laughing as Clarisse sneaked behind Joseph and pushed him in, taking him by surprise as Sofia and Charlotte sat laughing.
She walked back over to the lounger and slipped her kaftan back on as Joseph climbed out the pool and rushed over to her, she turned to see him running towards her. She gasped and ran off, with him following as the rest watched while laughing.
"Ahh No." she exclaimed as he grabbed hold of her, scooping her up in his arms "Joseph, don't you dare?" she exclaimed.
"I'm getting you back Clari," he laughed while rushing back over to the pool and threw her in then jumped in after her as everyone laughed and Sofia filming it on her camera.
When they came up for air, Joseph swam over to Clarisse and wrapped his arms around her waist kissing her jaw, talking to her in Italian.
After a moment he looked at her while tilting his head a little with a smile, seconds later she smiled and kissed him while wrapping her arms around his neck, then Joseph took her hand as they moved towards the steps.
He sat down on the steps as she stood next to him, while looking over at everyone else then looked down to see Joseph move one of his legs so she was stood between his legs and put his hands on the back of her knees making her step closer to him.
"Sorry about throwing you in the pool," he smiled up at her as she put her hands on his shoulders "The inner child escaped." he chuckled as she smiled down at him.
"That's alright, I have the same excuse." she giggled as he moved his hands up the back of her thighs "Joseph, the whole family are over there." she said looking deep into his eyes while clenching her fist in his hair.
"And?" he smirked "They can't see anything, or what I'm doing." he flashed her a cheeky smile, while cupping her ass under her wet kaftan.
"I don't care," she laughed while turning and sat on the steps between his legs, with her back to him as he rested his arms over her shoulders and took hold of her hands in front of them.
"I was thinking," he said lowering his head and whispered in her ear "Why don't we make arrangements to go back to Bora Bora sometime this summer with the family, while Amelia is still here?" he asked and watched her turn to him.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yea, I know you fell in love with the place and sometimes wished the children were there with us to share in the stuff that could be done." he smirked at her while putting his hand up, cupping her face "So why not?"
"I will think about it a while," she smiled up at him as he lowered his head and kissed her a couple times, then she sat back against his inner thigh "It is a pretty amazing place, do you think they'd love it too?"
"Oh yea, I am sure they will." he smiled at her and started playing with her hair "The kids will love it that's for sure." he nodded as she smiled up at him.
"Yeah, your right." she nodded and looked at his leg "Is that a bruise on your leg?" she asked while reaching over and pushed the bottom of his swim trunks up to look and gasped "When did you get that?" she asked looking at him.
"Oh this morning." he smirked at her "I walked into the corner of the bedside table." he chuckled.
"Joseph." she laughed "It's been there a long time," she smirked and reached up giving him a kiss while rubbing his bruise gently then sat back against his leg again "You know, the only trouble with the kids coming with us is that we would have to behave?" she smiled.
"When have you ever behaved, I mean really?" he smiled and wrapped his arms around her, as she laughed in his grasp.
"Well when I'm with you, I can't help it." she smiled up at him not noticing Sofia was stood the other side of the pool taking photos of them then went back to everyone else before getting caught.
"That's alright, as I can't either." he smirked, looking into her eyes and kissed her slowly as she turned into him a little.
After a few moments, he kissed her a couple times while putting his hand up, cupping her face while looking into her eyes then started kissing her slowly again.
"Mom," Olivia smiled over at them "Mom...Mom, Mom?" she looked back at Sofia "Hmm she's ignoring us now?" she laughed and looked back at them in the pool "Mom?"
"OI MOM!" Sofia exclaimed "HELLO!?" she exclaimed and looked at Olivia as they both smirked and looked back at them "CLARISSE, JOSEPH!" she exclaimed and noticed they were laughing and Joseph turned to look at them "Hey, what time is the dinner?" she asked.
"Hold on?" he said turning to look at Clarisse.
"It's half 7," she called back as Joseph gripped hold of her chin and started kissing her again.
"God, you've just had two weeks of that surely you would of had enough of it by now." Sofia laughed while picking Ella up, resting her on her hip while looking over at them again then looked back at the gang "Teenagers." she laughed and started walking into the Palace.
After a little while, they stood up and moved back onto the loungers as everyone smirked at them. Not long after Pierre and Charlotte left with the kids, heading back to their house to get ready for dinner as Clarisse sat on the edge of the pool with her feet in the water as Joseph done a couple laps in the pool, then swam over to her.
"What are you thinking about?" Joseph asked while standing in front of her.
"Oh just what you talked about while we was away," she said looking at him step between her legs as he put his hands on her thighs "Could we really do it?" she asked putting her hands on his arms.
"If your ready, then why not?" he asked "I know it will be hard at first, but I am sure we would soon get used to it." he said while looking into her eyes as she started laughing "What?" he asked as she put her hand up to her mouth.
"What you just said?" she laughed again "I'm sorry,"
"What about..." he stopped realizing what he said "Oh Clarisse, whose the naughty one now?" he smirked and kissed her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, it's just the way you said it." she smiled at him as he lifted his head and looked into her eyes "Carry on," she smiled and kissed him.
"Ok," he smiled "It won't be a while yet anyway, so we haven't got to think about it yet."
"True," she nodded as he took her hand, locking his fingers with hers as she looked down at them then looked back up into his eyes while running her other hand up, putting it around his shoulders while moving closer to him "We could get into trouble if we stayed out here any longer." she smiled against his lips.
"I know, but just a few moments more." he grinned while wrapping his arms around her waist, pressing her body against his as he kissed her slowly.
"Ok," she smiled against his lips while opening her eyes and looked at him for a few seconds before kissing him back.
After a little while they headed inside and got ready for the family dinner, coming down a while later and stood talking to Pierre and Charlotte as the others came down. Joseph put his hand on her back as they made their way down the table and took their seats.
After dinner, Clarisse got everyone's attention "Firstly I want to say thank you to you all for attending this dinner, even though our Anniversary was a week ago." she smiled as everyone smiled back at her "Joseph and I talked earlier and we would like to take you all back to Bora Bora sometime this summer, while Amelia is still in town." she smiled down at her "One big family holiday?" she smiled around everyone as they all got excited "I will take that as a yes then?" she asked.
Everyone at the same time exclaimed a Yes, making Clarisse and Joseph laugh.
"All I can say to that is thank god we have our own private plane, or we may be kicked of a normal flight." Joseph said with a laugh, as everyone else laughed then he smiled at Clarisse "That wouldn't be good for the press," he smiled leaning in while placing his hand on her thigh "Would it?" he smirked and kissed her.
"Actually, I have an announcement to make myself." Pierre said standing up as Joseph sat back, and everyone looked at him "We were gonna wait till tomorrow, but I don't see why it can't be tonight." he smiled around everyone and put his hand on Charlotte's shoulder "Char and I, are expecting another baby." he smiled down at Clarisse and Joseph as she gasped.
"So am I?" Sofia smiled down at them as Clarisse put her hands up to her face.
"You both serious?" she asked while standing up.
"Yeah," Sofia nodded "We are about a month apart." she grinned at Charlotte.
"We have both been dying to tell you all day, but managed to wait." Pierre smiled.
"Oh Congratulations to you both," she said hugging Sofia and Charlotte, then hugged Pierre as Joseph hugged Charlotte and Sofia.
"I'm surprised you didn't know, as you knew when I was pregnant with Ella." Sofia smiled at her.
"Oh Sofia, she's been to wrapped up in Dad to realize." Pierre smirked as Clarisse gasped.
"That is true," Sofia laughed while walking off.
They all went into the living room for drinks and to catch up with everything, then Clarisse and Joseph called it a day, quickly disappearing upstairs.
