.Then he stands and walks out of the bedroom, but just as he reaches the door, he turns and mouths ‘later’ to me – Bastard!I have to laugh.I shake my head at his teasing ways and lie back down on the bed.I HAVE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL four days of my entire life.I feel so relaxed, so content, I am blissfully happy.This morning after waking up and feeling so good, Tristan agreed that we will go to the function tonight.Our flights are booked, so we are heading over to the airport this afternoon – I’m quite excited, and nervous.I want to make a good impression tonight, I want Tristan to be proud of me.Then I realise that tomorrow is Saturday, and in one week, I’ll be married.Hmm, Mrs Coral Freeman – I like the sound of that, it has a lovely ring to it – I snort with laughter at my own words.Then I remember - Shit! The rings! – We haven’t done that yet! We’d better get that sorted tomorrow!With a contented sigh, I sit up from my horizontal position.Tristan and I are on the beach, soaking up some rays.Baby I Love Your Way by Big Mountain is blasting in my ears, reminding me of Tristan, and how I feel about him.I quietly sing along as I take in my surroundings.The waves are calm today, not many surfers out, but there are so many little kids out with their parents, splashing about in the sea, playing in the rock pools, building sand castles – I’m surprised at myself, I don’t feel angry like I used to when I’d see happy families.Instead, I feel happy for them.I watch a man throw his toddler up in the air, the kids face is a picture as his father catches him, they both look so happy.Then I’m drawn to a woman spraying her kid with sunscreen, she’s wriggling about, I guess she doesn’t like it, but her mother soon finishes and I watch the little girl take an older boys hand, they both dash down the beach and dive into the sea – The only emotion I feel coming to the surface is that well, it’s pretty cute.All these happy families – kind of making me think that it is possible after all.I sigh contentedly, it’s so beautiful here.In fact I think I could quite happily live here, forever! I frown at that thought, I never thought I would want to leave Brighton – Yet here I am, seriously thinking about it? How odd!I look up at the sky.It is yet another blue skied, sunshiny day.How lucky we are to be having such lovely weather.I pick up the bottle of water and take several glugs, then I look down at my watch – nearly lunchtime – no wonder I’m hungry.Honestly!I shake my head at myself.I don't know how doing so little can give a person such an appetite?.Maybe it’s all the sex?I nod in agreement with myself and look across at Tristan, my sexy man! I can tell by his face he is sleeping, I don't want to wake him.He needs his rest as much as I do; but I need food! Which gives me an idea – Pulling my little notepad out of my new beach bag that Tristan bought for me, I scribble a note for him.My sexy husband to be, I am hungry, so I’ve gone to get lunch.I didn’t want to wake you.So please, don't worry, I’ll be back soon.But if you do worry, I have my mobile, call me.Your loving wife to be, Coral xXxThen I stand, throw my bag over my shoulder, place the note on my lounger and put the bottle of sun lotion on top of it – so it doesn’t blow away in the breeze.Then I blow Tristan a kiss and head off to the local shops.I CANNOT WAIT TO TELL TRISTAN MY NEWS.As I reach the beach and I search for him, I can't help panicking – Tristan isn’t on his lounger? I wonder if he’s gone back up to the villa? I’m sure he would have called me if he’d done that.I shake it off and continue walking down the beach, loving the feeling of the sand between my toes – I don't know why, but at that very moment, I look up and instantly freeze.Whoa!Tristan has popped up out of the sea – I guess he went for a swim.As he wades, very gracefully out of the water, I notice several mothers stop what they are doing with their children and stare at Tristan – Can’t blame them, I’m mesmerised too.I’m instantly reminded of an old diet coke advert where all the women stop what they are doing and stare at the sexy guy – Yep! Tristan is doing his own advert right now, and he doesn’t even know it! The song from the advert starts playing in head as I continue to watch him walk up the beach, I Just Want To Make Love To You by Etta James – How fitting!Just as I think that, Tristan runs both his hands through his soaking wet hair, his stomach muscles rippling as he does.Man, he looks so hot – My sexy husband to be.“Oh my God!” I hear a young woman say.I turn and see I have stopped a couple of feet away from two young girls lying on their towels; they look like they are in their twenties.“Cassie!” The one slaps her friends thigh; waking her from her snooze.“What?” She sleepily grumbles.“Look.” The other says, pointing down the beach to Tristan.“Blimey!” Cassie says, sitting up and putting her shades on.“Blood hell! Who is he?”I have to stifle a giggle.Their mouths are gaping open as they watch my perfect specimen of a man walk up the beach.“Come on Lara!” Cassie says, standing to her feet.“Let’s go chat him up!”What? No! They can't do that!Lara has stood up too, and they are both adjusting their bikinis, checking each other over so they look their best – Holy crap! They really are going to walk over to him – You have to say something Coral!“I don't think he’ll talk to you,” I say.They turn in unison and stare at me.“Oh.?” Cassie says.“Why? Do you know him?” she asks in a firm tone.I nod my head and try to hide my coy smile.“Um.yeah I do.”Lara’s face falls.“Is he your boyfriend?” She asks, placing her hands on her hips.“Fiancé,” I smile.“We’re getting married on Saturday,” I add.Cassie makes an exaggerated huff, gives me a funny look then lies back down, but Lara smiles at me.“Lucky you,” she giggles, then says.“Going for a swim Cas, I need cooling down!” She turns and winks at me – I think I know what she means, what she’s referring to – Tristan is enough to make any woman feel hot and bothered – Lara smiles at me, then she heads down the beach.I turn away and see Tristan has reached our loungers, just as he bends down he happens to look up.He stops dead in his tracks as he sees me and the most sexy, lazy smile spreads across his face, his dimples on full wattage – and I swoon, again!In my peripheral vision, I see Cassie shake her head and turn on her side, so she can't see anymore.I want to walk over to Tristan, but yet again, I’m frozen in place staring at him like a friggin’ statue.He cocks his head to the side, still smiling at me [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
