Beach Romancing By Melissa Diss This is just a lovey dovey story I came up with one night, any comments criticism welcome. Maggie walked into the CI Office as soon as she signed in for her afternoon shift to see PJ, the man she was totally in love with. PJ broke into a huge smile as soon as she came into his sight, and pointed to the outlayed paper work scattered all over his desk and then gave her one of his please help me looks, as he was still on the phone. Maggie walked up to where he was sitting and snaked her arm around him and tenatively sat on his knee while he finished his conversation. "Yes that will be fine, I'll see you then. Bye". "Hi beautiful", PJ whispered huskily before leaning in to passionately kiss her, which Maggie responded to with enthusiasm. When they broke apart both were breathing heavily and heart rates had increased. "So who was on the phone?" Maggie questioned. "Mum, she's invited us down for the weekend. So would you like to come?" "If it means I don't have to put on a charade around the people I'm socialising with then of course I will", Maggie replied before leaning in to kiss him again. "Mmm, I know what you mean, I know it's a secret for the best but sometimes I wish I could sweep you up into my arms at the Imperial and kiss you when I feel like it". PJ grinned wickedly at her. "I know, I wish you could come over whenever you wanted to without having to work it around Dash's non home time. I'd love to have you stay over all night just once". "Mmm, now there's a thought". Maggie playfully slapped him and got off his knee. "So what's happened around here today anyway?"Maggie asked inquisitly. "Not much really, just catching up on all that paper work I never get around to doing. I wonder why? I know you've got the weekend off but I'm going to have to work my way into the Boss's favour, so you want to help me with my paper work?" He smiled charmingly at her. "Of course I will", it means I can spend some hassle free time with you. I'll just go tell the Boss what I'm doing and let's make it a condition that the door stays open, they're probably beginning to suspect something already with the amount of time I've spent in here lately". PJ gave her one of his puppy dog looks and then agreed. "Hi Boss", Maggie cheerily called as she knocked and entered his office. "Hi Maggie, what's up?" "PJ's a bit snowed under with paper work at the moment and I was wondering whether you wanted me to help him out?" "Yeah sure, bit quiet around here anyway". Maggie nodded in response and headed back into the CI office and settled down with PJ to quickly finish the paper work. PJ whispered into Maggie's ear, "I'm getting mum to ring back later and pretend she's sick so I can be guaranteed weekend leave to go and see her", PJ then grinned wickedly; obviously very proud of himself for coming up with such a devious scheme. "But then he's going to want me to take your place here over the weekend", Maggie whispered back urgently. "Nah, you just say you've already made plans with your dad and you can't break them because he has already rostered off the time as well". "Your so devious PJ", Maggie whispered back, "But I still love you". "And I love you". PJ leant in to give her a quick kiss but Maggie pulled back urgently and pointed towards the open door. He nodded and returned back to the slightly smaller pile of paper work. By seven o'clock most of the other officers had left the station and Tom was about to leave his desk when the phone rang. "Hello, yes this is Seargent Tom Croyden speaking, Mrs Hasham, what's wrong, oh you need him down there do you, sure I should be able to arrange that, Bye". Tom hung up the phone with a displeased look on his face. "PJ, can you come in here for a moment please". PJ strolled into the office. "What's up Boss?" "I just got a call from your mother....." "Oh my goodness, she is okay isn't she?" PJ replied trying to appear genuinely worried. Maggie hid behind the door trying to withhold a laugh at Pj's attempt at acting. "Ah she's actually feeling a bit off colour and wants you down there. So I'll give you the weekend off. Hope things work out all right PJ". PJ walked out and gave Maggie a thumbs up sign and then broke into a huge grin. "Doyle! Can you come in here for a moment?" Tom bellowed. "Yeah what's up Boss?" "Maggie I hate to do this to you but PJ's mum is crook and he has to go down and see her and I was hoping you could postpone your days owing until further down the track". "I wish I could Boss but dad's made plans, actually taken time off work this time...so", Maggies voice trailed off. "It's okay Maggie, I guess we can handle a weekend without any experienced CI personnel". Maggie smiled and called over her shoulder, "Night Boss, see you on Monday bright and early". "Mmmm", Tom grumbled as he left the station. PJ and Maggie both broke into a fit of giggles when Tom left the vicinity of the station. "I love you PJ Hasham, even though your not that good an actor". "I love you too Maggie Doyle..."PJ's voice trailed off as he leant in to kiss Maggie. After a few moments Maggie whispered, "So what are we going to do tonight?" "Mmmm, now let me see. Is Dash home tonight?" "Yeah, I sussed her out before she left". "And my place is out of the question..." "Yeah, if Mrs Lowe catches me again...I think she suspects something already..but I don't want her to know the truth or she'll spread it all over town, we have the same problem with Dash". "Well then we're just going to have to stay here for a while then, unless you want to go to Melbourne tonight?" PJ asked her hopefully. "I'd better go pack my bags then. I'll meet you back here in an hour. By the way, your car or mine?" "We'd better take yours because if Dash sees it around anywhere then shes going to find out. That girl can sniff things out from a mile away!" Maggie and PJ both left the station and went home and packed there bags. About an hour Later.......... "About time you got here", PJ chorused as Maggie walked into his office. "Well I had to make sure I packed all the necessities now didn't I?" Came Maggies smug reply. "And what does that include may I ask my dear? The only necessity I need is you". "You're so sweet PJ, as for what I've brought...you'll have to wait and see". PJ intertwined his fingers with Maggies as they headed out to the car. The journey to Melbourne passed quickly with the radio blaring out romantic songs with which PJ would sing along too directing the words at Maggie and vice versa. Eventually PJ pulled up in front of a lovely little cottage near the beach and Maggie stared at it with awe. "It's beautiful PJ, did you really grow up here?" "Yeah, how else did you think I became so tanned and muscular? I was in the nippers when I was little, pretty unstoppable too", he grinned at Maggie. Ever so galantly he opened her door and took her hand in his walking her up to the front door. Maggie became suddenly nervous at the prospect of seeing Mrs Hasham, sure she'd met her a few times in Mount Thomas when she visited PJ but she actually hadn't seen her when Pj and her were dating and didn't know the full extent as to what PJ had told her. PJ knocked at the door rapidly and his mother threw open the door and hugged him with delight. "Patrick, it's so good to see you. I've missed you". "I've missed you too mum", PJ replied blushing at all the attention. "And Maggie dear, how are you?"Mrs Hasham questioned as she pulled her into a hug of warmth. "I'm fine thank-you", Maggie replied generally surprised at how warm and loving she was. What exactly had PJ told her about their relationship??? PJ ushered her inside the little cottage before leading her to the lounge room. Maggie glanced around her at all the photos of PJ as a child lining the walls. He was gorgeous even then. PJ quickly placed a hand over her eyes and whispered huskily, "Don't look at those.....some are kind of embarrassing". Maggie pulled his hand off her eyes and automatically her eyes rested on a photo of PJ as a baby getting bathed. "Oohh, who's the cute little one getting a bath. You haven't changed that much really have you". PJ caught onto Maggies meaning and gently patted her backside; "Just you wait till I see yours......" Maggie grinned and attatched herself to PJ's hand once again. In the kitchen they settled down to a cup of coffee and generally chatted about what was going on in their lives. Mrs Hasham dominated the conversation and Maggie just sat back and listened to mother and son. Mrs Hasham then took Maggie to a bedroom and said she could stay there for the weekend. Maggie looked up at PJ with questions in her beautiful brown eyes, because before her only lay a single bed, obviously this was the guestroom. PJ looked at her apologetically and tried to tell her with his eyes that he'd sort it out. Maggie smiled sincerley at Mrs Hasham and thanked her before she left the room. Once she left PJ whispered urgently, my room is bigger, I'll talk to her, she's a bit old fashioned. Maggie smiled and replied, "It's okay with me if I have to stay here". "But it's not okay with me", PJ replied smiling. PJ then led her down to his bedroom to show her around. As soon as she entered the room it felt masculine and PJ like. It was a very basic style room which in the centre contained a king size bed and over the walls hung boyish pictures. PJ gently shut the door behind him as they entered. "You know, when I was about thirteen or was it fourteen....wellwho cares anyway, I always dreamt about what it would be like to have my girlfriend in my bedroom. And do you know what?" "What?" Maggie replied staring into his sparkling blue eyes. "It feels so right with you in here, like you belong as a part of it. You were the one I was searching for all these years". His voice trailed off as he moved forward and scooped Maggie into his arms and ever so gently laid her on his bed and positioned himself on top of her before kissing her tenderly. Maggie passionately kissed him back, aroused at the thought of what could come next. Their kisses ignited as PJ's tongue penetrated into Maggies mouth, searching, exploring. She ran her hands down the length of his muscular body and found an opening between his jeans and t-shirt and she ran her hand up and down his warm tanned skin arousing him even further. PJ laid his hand upon her breast as he continued to explore her mouth. A door handle could be heard and Mrs Hasham called from the door way, "Patrick, Maggie, do you want to go to the beach now", she looked down at what was happening before her in her sons room and quickly turned her head, "Sorry, I see your busy I'll come back later". Maggie quickly pushed PJ off her and sat up straightening herself and sliding off the bed. PJ quickly got up and apologised before commenting that they should get ready for the beach. "I'll just go and get changed then", Maggie spoke out into the penetrating silence. Once Maggie had left the room PJ pulled his mother aside; "Mum you know how I feel about Maggie, and how we're togther now, I love her, I hope you understand", PJ eyes were full of honesty as he tried to explain his feelings to his mother. She looked at him and replied, "Don't explain yourself sweetheart, I know you love her, I can see it in your eyes, in her eyes too as a matter of fact, just don't go hurting her at all". "I won't mum, I love her, I want to marry her, if she'll have me. Now about the sleeping arrangements mum...." "The spare room is no longer needed I assume. You didn't really tell me that you were you know..." "Mum..."PJ was at a loss for words. She just smiled and pulled him into a bare hug. She exited the room so he could get changed for the beach. PJ gently pulled open his wardrobe door and pulled out his fathers old wetsuit, it would probably fit him now. He changed into his speedos and pulled the wetsuit over them. In the meantime Maggie was getting changed in the spare room, she felt really horrible about what had happened before in PJ's room, obviously PJ hadn't told her the full extent of their relationship and the look on her face, told a thousand words. Maggie gently put on her new bathing suit, a blue coloured bikini she had brought not long ago in Melbourne which matched the colour of PJ's eyes. It was one of many surprises in store for PJ that weekend. Over the top she put on a light airy beach dress and packed her carry bag with a towel, sunscreen, hat and sunglasses before stepping out into the lounge room. Mrs Hasham was busy packing things in the kitchen and didn't notice Maggie until she bumped into her. "Oh sorry dear, I didn't see you there". "Mrs Hasham, about before..." Maggie tried her best to explain but came to a loss for words. "Maggie dear, you don't have to explain, I just wasn't aware of how close you two really were". Maggie smiled. "Now that's better", Mrs Hasham spoke up, "I don't want you to feel like your in a prison camp whilst you are staying here, do what you want when you want while you've got the chance. Nobody in Mount Thomas knows yet?" "No, we were keeping it secret". "Fair enough, Patrick are you coming?" She yelled. "Yeah, yeah PJ moaned hating to be rushed. He stepped out into the lounge room and Maggie whistled, "I never thought I'd see you in one of those PJ". "It was dad's, fits me now, why don't you like it?" "I love it PJ, I love it". PJ clasped Maggies hand as they walked out the door together with Mrs Hasham in trail. "This is just so beautiful here, the only time I got to go to places like this was on vacations when mum was alive". PJ looked down into her sparkling eyes and replied, "I was pretty lucky, still am in a lot of ways". They continued along the beach until they reached a quiet section of the beach and set up base. Maggie carefully laid down her towel and spread the contents of her bag nearby whilst PJ sat down next to her. "Now Miss Doyle, would you like me to put some sun lotion on your back for you?" PJ inquired. "SurePJ", Maggie replied as she slipped off her sun dress revealing her blue bikini beneath. She then gingerly laid down on the beach towel. PJ's eyes widened with excitement with what he saw, damn she looked fine in that bikini, I never thought she'd wear something like that in public. PJ retrieved the bottle of sun lotion and gently massaged it into her back and made his way down her thighs. "Mmmm, that feels good don't stop". In the meantime Mrs Hasham ran into an old friend of the families and brought her over to see her son. "Patrick, do you remember Mrs Jones from when you were little?" "Yeah, I do mum. You taught me first grade didn't you?" "I sure did, I didn't think you'd remember me though". "It's amazing what you remeber when you get older. Now I'd like you to meet my girlfriend Margaret Doyle". "Pleased to meet you dear", Mrs Jones spoke up. "It's nice to meet you too, now tell me what PJ was like as a youngster, give me all the gossip of what he got up to". PJ frowned and whispered, "Mags you don't want to know that stuff". "Yes I do". Maggie looked up at Mrs Jones expectantly, PJ seeing he was in a no win situation quickly scooped Maggie up into his strong arms and ran towards the water. He yelled over his shoulder, "It'll have to be another time as someone needs cooling off". Maggie struggled trying to break clear of PJ's firm embrace with no luck. Maggie felt the cool water hit her all of a sudden and PJ fell over with her just as a wave broke. Both got up with a fit of the giggles and began to kiss passionately whilst the water broke around them. "See I told you, you needed cooling off", PJ joked. From the shore line Mrs Hasham and Mrs Jones watched the two love birds. "They look so happy to be together", Mrs Jones motioned. "I'm so glad he's found someone at last; and she's such a lovely girl. Patrick told me before that he's planning on proposing whilst their down here". "That's lovely, maybe you'll have grandchildren after all". "I hope so, they'll be beautiful children considering what their parents look like". "Mmmm". Both sat down and talked about old times. "Mags, have you ever surfed before?" PJ inquired. "No, I've only perved on surfers before, generally they are all so hot you can't help it". "Oh really, and do I fit into that category???" "What category would that be?" Maggie asked nonchantly. PJ laughed, "You know....perve worthy". "Yes of course you do PJ", Maggie whispered before leaning in to kiss him passionately. Eventually they went back to shore to find PJ's mother had already gone home. "Guess it's nearly teatime then", PJ piped up. "Mmmm, what are we having?" "Mum's cooking Lebanese Lasagne, one of her specialities". "Sounds good to me". They both walked back to the cottage hand in hand in silence. "Good to see you two could find the way home", Mrs Hasham joked. Maggie blushed and PJ laughed heartily. "Mags you can have first shower if you want. I'll show you where it is". PJ led her to the small bathroom and handed her a towel. You going to join me?" Maggie innocently asked. "As much as I want to I don't think it's really appropriate with mum around, I better spend some time with her". "PJ, just one question before you leave". "Mmm". "Are you wearing anything underneath that wetsuit?" "Why?"PJ asked startled. "Ohh, I just wondered whether good looking guys wore anything under their wetsuits". PJ gently closed the bathroom door and grinned at Maggie, "To answer that question Miss Doyle...." PJ slipped out of his wetsuit and stood before her in his speedos. She smiled at him before leaning in to kiss him; "I love you PJ". "I love you too Mags". PJ then grabbed a towel and went into the living room to talk to his mother. Later on that night.... "That was lovely Mrs Hasham, I wish I could cook half as good as you". "It comes with practice Maggie dear". PJ then piped up "Mags how would you feel like taking a walk along the beach with me?" "Sounds good to me". PJ reached out his hand and pulled Maggie out of her chair. "Mum, don't wait up". She nodded in reply and set to work on the cleaning up. PJ and Maggie strolled along the beach in silence until PJ spoke. "Mags, we make a good team don't we?" "Mmm", Maggie replied snuggling closer to PJ. "I was kind of wondering whether you'd like to well....you know.....be my wife...i love you Maggie Doyle". PJ turned Maggie around to face him and saw the shock in her eyes and the silent questions. She then smiled up at him and replied, "I'd be honoured to". PJ leant down and their mouths met in a heated kiss. Then they ever so slowly made their way home, "Let's go shopping tomorrow Mags, you can choose a ring you like then". Maggie snuggled closer to PJ never wanting to let go of him. When they arrived at the cottage door PJ swept Maggie up into his arms and carried her to his bedroom where he laid her tenderly onto his childhood bed. Ever so gracefully he laid down beside her and continued to kiss her. Maggie responded and soon they were locked in a passionate embrace exploring one another. Maggie pulled at PJ's shirt revealing tanned muscular skin beneath which she covered with hot wet kisses. PJ's hand rested upon Maggie's breast and he then gently removed her shirt and bra. They stopped momentarily as PJ pulled back the sheets and then placed it over their bodies as they began to mould together as one. THE END!!!
