Chapter 88

Ella made herself some breakfast and sat outside to eat it. She heard Mike coming back on his bike.
"Where have you been young man?" she asked him a smile on her face.
He came and sat next to her.
"Just wanted to go for a ride." He grinned.
"I was think we take our boards to the beach and hang out today. What do you think?"
Mike nodded.
"Sounds great." He said.
She bit into her toast and offered him her spare slice. He took it and devoured it faster that she ate hers.
"I think Roman might want to hang too." She murmured.
Mike nodded.
"I'll go get changed." He said to her and leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Roman passed him in the lounge and went and sat next to her.
"Morning." He said with a grin.
"Hey sleepy." She smiled at him
He sat next to her and picked up her cup draining the coffee.
"So does our son want to hang with us?" he asked and watched as she nodded.
"He's gone to get changed. I take it you have a wetsuit." She asked him.
Roman nodded.
"I think you might be surprised by the equipment I have."
She grinned at him and he blushed.
"That is not what I meant and you know it." He grumbled at her.
She leaned into him and pressed a kiss to his lips.
"Go get ready Action Man." She teased.
She stood up and took her crockery through to the kitchen before making her way up the stairs to get changed.
Roman made his way to the kitchen and poured out some coffee. He drank it slowly, draining the cup before he went upstairs to get changed. Ella was sitting on the bed looking at her wetsuit.
"Hey." He said to her in greeting. Going over to the dresser he opened a drawer and pulled out his board shorts.
She looked at him.
"Are those Speedo's?" she asked quickly.
He looked in the drawer.
"Yes." He said quickly, pushing the drawer shut.
She grinned.
"You have Speedo's?" she chuckled.
"Yes I do." He told her. "And no you are never going to see me wearing them."
"Really." She stood up and walked over to him.
He took in the hot little red bikini she was wearing.
"Pretty much like no one is ever going to see you in that." He grouched. "Put on a different swimsuit."
She chuckled and reached for the tie at her neck and loosening it so that it came apart. The bra top fell away and she dropped it to the floor. She did likewise with the ties at the side and reached into the dresser drawer and pulled out an alternative. He continued to watch as she pulled on the new swimsuit and then groaned when it was on.
It was a G String with the bra top smaller than the other one and was white.
"Which one would you prefer?" she asked him, doing a small twirl.
He walked over to her and took her in his arms and kissed her.
"I prefer something in black that covers you from head to toe." He grumbled.
She laughed at him and wound her arms around his neck.
"So you don't want everyone to know exactly why you married me." She chuckled some more at the expression on his face.
"Where exactly did you buy this thing and tell me you never wore it outside the house."
She threw back her head and laughed at him.
"Roman Harris, surely you've noticed that I have no tan lines." She told him.
He looked at her in shock.
"Nude sunbathing?" he asked quickly.
She smiled at him and moved away without answering.
She pulled open the dresser drawer and found another swimsuit. This one was black and more conservative. She pulled it on and put the others away in the drawer.
"Ella?" he asked.
She turned and grinned at him.
"Are you going to model the Speedo's for me?" she asked.
He shook his head.
She collected her things and moved away from him without answering the nude sunbathing question. She heard him groaning as she walked down the stairs and chuckled. She went out back and through to the storage area pulling out her board and then getting Mike's for him. He walked up to her and grinned.
"Mum." He said.
"Needs waxing." She muttered running her hand down the board.
He reached for the wax and handed it too her watching the way she almost caressed the board as she rubbed the wax into it. He did his own board and Roman joined them just as she stacked hers into her car. Mike handed her his board after he'd finished and she put that in too.
"Come on Mister we're waiting for you." She grouched to Roman.
He chucked at her and handed over his wetsuit to her.
She placed that in the back of the jeep and then went inside to collect extra towels. Roman had put his board into the jeep by the time she came back downstairs.
"Ready?" she asked them.
Mike and Roman nodded.
"Ok." she pulled the door shut and they set off.
She drove them a little way up the coast and Roman grinned at her as she sighed when they got to the beach.
"Better surf than Summer Bay?" He asked her and saw her nod.
"Wicked undertow though." Mike told him.
He watched as Ella pulled on the wetsuit. Mike followed suit. They picked up their boards and went through the surf and started paddling out to the bigger waves. He sat on the beach a while letting them spend some time together.
