Another update for you guys xxx

Caroline pulled Kate into her she felt her hot breath against her neck as she calmed her, stroking Kate's hair gently "it's all going to be ok darling". She hated seeing Kate so vulnerable and feeling so powerless all over again, she looked up to see Lucy the tears flowing down her face. "Oh Lucy it's ok" Caroline spoke softly "it's not Miss you know it's not he's out of control!". "Lucy do you think it's a bout time you told us everything you know" she nodded sitting down on the kitchen stall.

As Caroline and kate listened intently as she spoke, drinking in every detail she knew, Caroline held kate tight all the time reassuring her. Kate's face suddenly becoming ignited as if a spark had been ignited. "Caroline you know he's trying to ruin my reputation and say I'm inappropriate". Caroline looked quizzically at Kate hearing her say like that wasn't making her feel any better "no Caroline, she shook her gently The Photo". Kate watched as her idea was finally unravelling in Caroline's mind, as a small grin appeared across her delicate lips.

Lucy looked confused as Kate explained what had happened on the trip and that's why he had left early. "Did he not mention it, why did he say hed left early?" She shook her head "no he didn't tell me and I don't blame him, no wonder he's not happy with you too! You finally humiliated him like he spends his life doing to others. He didn't tell me he was Leaving the trip I was always told to ignore him at school, he didn't want people to know I was his daughter. Caroline caught a glance of Kate's face understanding her thinking, how could a parent treat a child the way he had it was so wrong.

"would you like to stay tonight Lucy we can take you to school in the morning, if you have had another run in with your dad" Kate said sympathetically. "Actually would you mind driving me to my grandmas? She only lives 40 minutes away, but maybe having a few days away would be good. If it's ok to miss a few days at school?" She turned to see Caroline smile "I don't think it would do you any harm, and yes you'd benefit from some peace, we can take you there shortly if that's what you want".

On the drive back from dropping Lucy off Kate felt Caroline's hand upon her leg "you know how much I love you Kate, you do know how much I love you sweetheart don't you?" Kate pulled her hand up to meet her lips, letting them gently touch across her soft skin. "Yes Caroline I love you so much and I honestly don't know where I'd be without you".

Caroline sighed "I was thinking how do u fancy doing what Lucy's done", "what do you mean?". Caroline smiled as she pulled over outside Kate's house and dialed a number on her mobile. Kate watched curiously without speaking a single word. "oh Hi Beverley I need a favor!" Kate watched a cheeky smile cross her lips and a flirtatious look drifting from her eyes to Kate.

"um yes of course Caroline is everything ok?" "Yes and no.. But I need to go away for a few days and Kate will be coming with me". "Oh anywhere nice...?" Her voice snarky and Caroline heard the innuendo in her question. "Look Beverley your fab at your job but it puts you In a position you know a lot of things, before everyone else and never say a word. I trust you". Kate was listening to this conversation unfold and was surprised at how easily Caroline was being so honest and open with Beverly.

Caroline could hear Beverly smile on the other end of the phone "maybe", "well You will know I'm with Kate and were together". "Um I may have guessed" "well I love her so much but Michael Dobson is not my biggest fan and is about to cause a problem with the governors. And there's a hundred gaps I need to fill in but don't have time to.. " She spoke almost without taking a breathe. Anyway my favor... Could You pre write in a holiday for Kate and then I'm going to have a family emergency and we are going to bugger off for a few days before the bomb goes off". Kate smiled at Caroline she hadn't seen this spontaneous side of Caroline yet, and she had to admit it turned her on just as much as made her fall in love with her even more.

"Done, I'll sort it now, will you be on your mobile?" "yep and Lawrence will be away too obviously, thank you I owe you. Your a very good friend and an even better PA. We will be back Monday. "Enjoy" Beverly laughed and hung up.

Kates lips found Caroline's soft red lips, she felt Kate nibble at her bottom lip as they leant in closer to one another deepening the embrace, she heard Kate moan her hands grasping at Caroline's hips. Caroline pulled apart "what was...that for" she tried to regain her breathe, "god I'm in love with you" Caroline smiled like she was the cat who got the cream.

"Go on then go pack I'm going to ring Gillian" Kate shuffled from the seat "were actually going?" She felt in a daze was this really happening "go on, gorgeous hurry up" She patted her thigh encouragingly. She watched Kate hop out the car and Caroline holding the phone to her ear slowly following her up the path.

"oh hi Gillian"

As Caroline sat with Lawrence "look I'll be honest with you Lawrence, work is bloody awful at the moment and Kate's had a hard time, I know I haven't told you but you've noticed I know you have" he nodded confirming her suspicions were correct. "Anyway were going to miss a few days of school, and say I've had a family emergency, so if you want to go to school you can. Or whilst we are away for a few days you can go hang out with Raff at Gillian's, unless you want to come with me and Kate. Of course you'd be welcome, but I thought you probably wouldn't. What do you think?" He threw his arms around his mum "whatever it is mum, you'll sort it your invincible", he smiled "I seriously can't believe your wagging school, this is just too cool". She giggled "school, with us or Gillian's then? " "Dur, Gillian's, I'll go pack".

Caroline and Kate hugged Gillian "Thank you so much I owe you" she leant in close, "don't tell my mum too much detail, just I'm on holiday" "not to worry".

she walked down the step "bye mum, see you in a few days. I'll be on my mobile". She watched her mother smile at her Celia wasn't entirely sure what was going on with her daughter. But she'd noticed a lot of changes recently and many for the better..

They drove for ten minutes before Kate turned to Caroline "where are we going then?" "where do you fancy?, I thought we would arrive at the airport pick a destination and just get on a plane." Kate's face felt like it might crack with joy "hell yes, but we do need a game plan for when we get back". Caroline's eyes met hers "well were going to have to use the photo we've got no choice, but I warn you once we get on this plane I'm having no mention of the bastard until we get back.. Deal?" Kate laughed "Deal, seriously where have you been all my life", Caroline took her hand "I could ask you the same question".
