And Then There Was You

by Suzy Turner

  Frowning, I looked up at him as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. Expecting him to kiss me, I was surprised when he pulled me to the dance floor, where he carefully lowered me into the single seat which had been placed in the middle. I looked around and noticed a few people grinning. Adam walked away from me and suddenly, music started playing. I looked around, trying to find him in the crowd that had developed at the sides of the dance floor. Suddenly, he appeared, with no shoes on. I covered my mouth with my hand and frowned, and then he ran and skidded on his socks so that he was next to me. In his hands were some large pieces of card.

  He stood in front of me and held out the cards. The music changed to something really upbeat, and soon I could hear the sounds of Justin Timberlake all around me. Adam grinned and held out the first card.

  Ain't Nobody Love You Like I Love You

  He nodded, moving his head to the music like Michael Jackson. I laughed while he threw the card away to reveal the second one that said,

  Wherever You Will Go I will Go

  The music suddenly slowed down so that it was now Wherever You Will Go by The Calling. I laughed again as he swooned, singing all the lyrics, moving his upper body side to side until the music changed again and he dropped that card to reveal another one that said,

  I Love You Like Never Before

  The music slowed right down and I could hear the gentle tones of one of my favourite singers, Eva Cassidy. Adam slowly dropped the card and lifted me off the chair, twirling me around to the sounds of the beautiful song. I smiled, embarrassed as he softly kissed me on the cheek, before he tenderly placed me back on the seat. I went to stand up, thinking that was the end but he shook his head and wagged his finger at me, gently pushing me back down.

  Then all of a sudden, the music stopped. Nobody did a thing, they all just watched me sitting there. I turned to see them all smiling. When I turned back, Adam was gone. I chuckled. 'Where did he go?' I asked quietly.

  Then some background music started up and I grinned. I'd recognise that song anywhere. Suddenly the crowd parted and Adam was standing there with an umbrella in his hand. He started walking around the dance floor before he started singing himself! Himself! I didn't know he was brave enough to sing in public. And then, before I knew what was happening, a couple of our guests were lifting my chair and moving me to the side of the dance floor.

  I giggled as Adam moved towards the centre and started dancing, exactly like Gene Kelly in the movie. I couldn't stop laughing, and I was startled by Amy and Clare, who suddenly appeared, also carrying umbrellas, copying his dance routine. The icing on the cake was when Jack appeared behind them too. Then, about thirty of the guests started joining in, in some kind of rehearsed routine. I clapped my hands together joyfully, laughing and pointing. It was wonderful. As the song came to an end, Adam stopped singing and slowly walked towards me. The music stopped and then another song began and I threw back my head with laughter.

  Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On played loudly. Adam did a shoulder roll and pouted at me before he stood before me and held out his hand.

  'May I have this dance?' he asked. I nodded and jumped up from my seat as he led me to the dance floor. He dipped me before grinding his body against mine. The crowd whooped loudly and clapped, laughing as we danced playfully until the song finally came to an end and the crowd cheered. I clapped and cheered too before my husband took a bow and then kissed me and twirled me around the dance floor. The next song started and he beckoned others to join us to the sounds of Le Freak by Chic, a great 70s disco tune. The party had truly started, and I knew that I would never forget it.

  CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

  'Don't you think it's time you told me where we're going?' I asked my new husband the next morning, enjoying breakfast on the worn out hotel bed.

  'I think you probably guessed ages ago, didn't you?' he replied, putting a strawberry into my mouth.

  'I've had some ideas, yes.'

  'So where do you think I'm taking you for our honeymoon?'

  'Canada.' I grinned.

  He laughed. 'Am I that obvious?'

  'Sometimes.' I laughed as he elbowed me gently in the side.

  'Where in Canada are we heading?' I asked, desperate to know where we were going the following day.

  'Now that would be telling.'

  'Come on, you can't leave me hanging.'

  'I can…' He grinned. 'Unless you want to try and get it out of me.'

  I moved the tray from the bed and jumped back on him, tickling him.

  He shook his head. 'Sorry, I'm not ticklish enough. It'll take more than that to get it out of me.'

  'Oooh,' I said, dropping the dressing gown from my shoulders and revealing my naked body beneath it. 'How about this?' I asked.

  'Now we're getting somewhere,' he said, placing his finger on my shoulder and stroking it, using it to push the gown further down and then undoing the belt with both hands. He opened it with one finger and looked me up and down.

  My breath caught in my throat just watching his face, looking at me so lustfully. I knelt so I could remove the gown completely, throwing it to the floor. I inched closer to him so his face was level with my chest. Lifting his hands to my side, he pulled me close so he could kiss my breasts. He opened his mouth and tugged at my nipple with his teeth, licking it, making me so wet. I groaned and leaned forward to remove his dressing gown before I straddled him, hovering above him.

  'Am I getting closer yet,' I whispered in his ear.

  'Yes,' he answered breathlessly. 'You're almost there.' He smiled.

  'Yes, I am,' I groaned louder and louder before I pulled backwards and lifted myself up so I could sit back down with him firmly inside me. He groaned really loudly, and I giggled.

  'Sshhhh.'

  Soon, we couldn't care less about the noise as I lay above him, grinding against him, groaning, enjoying every second making love to my husband. We came together, shuddering, both covered in a light film of sweat.

  'Wow,' he sighed. 'You're an amazing, woman, you know that?'

  'You're not so bad yourself. Now, what were we talking about? Canada? I think I might have just, erm... fucked it out of you, right?'

  Adam laughed and rolled over, looking at me. 'Okay, okay. Yes, you couldn't tickle it out of me, but fucking on the other hand... Fucking is good.' He grinned.

  'So where are we going?'

  He laughed and stood beside the bed with his hand outstretched. 'How about I tell you in the shower?'

  'You're not going to tell me just yet though, are you? I have a feeling more fucking is required?'

  'More fucking? Yes please,' he said, licking his lips as I followed him into the bathroom.

  oOo

  He didn't tell me where we were going until we actually got to the airport, using it as the perfect excuse for more sex. Not that an excuse was needed, of course. I'd been so horny, especially since the wedding. It was his dance routine that did it. I hadn't been expecting it, and knowing that he'd been rehearsing it for months, with so many of the guests, made it all the more special.

  'You okay?' he asked as the plane came in to land at Vancouver airport.

  I rested my head against his shoulder and nodded. 'Couldn't be better,' I sighed.

  'Good, because I have a surprise for you,' he said, as I lifted my head.

  'Another one? It's been nothing but surprises the past few days.' I grinned.

  'We're not actually staying in Vancouver. Not yet, anyway.'

  'Oh, we're not?' I asked, intrigued.

  He shook his head. 'We're taking a little trip, first.'

  My eyes widened in anticipation.

  'I wanted our honeymoon to be extra special, and I know that you have a thing for special scenery, so…' he said, pulling out a brochure from the bag he'd kept under the seat, and handing it to me.

  'A cruise?' I asked, confused.

  He pointed to the brochure. 'Look closer,' he said.

  'To Alaska?' I squealed. 'W
e're going to Alaska? Oh my God. I can't believe it.'

  Adam laughed. 'I wanted to take you somewhere unique, and when I enquired at the travel agency they said that from Vancouver, this was the best trip to do. I hope I made the right decision?'

  'The right decision? Oh my God, Adam. I've always wanted to go somewhere like that. I'm so excited I could die.'

  'Oh don't do that,' Adam smiled. 'Whatever you do, don't do that. I want you to stay with me until I'm ready to die too. And I'm not ready. Not today.' He smiled, stroking my face.

  'Oh Adam. I love you so much.'

  'I love you too, and I have a feeling that fate hasn't finished with us just yet.'
