Chapter 4 – The Wedding
Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> had never
been happier in the three weeks since Caitlin proposed.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Tomorrow they were off on their well deserved
two week vacation to Byron style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Baystyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> and how style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> was looking
forward to being alone with her fiancé. lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Fiancé.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I like that word.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I never thought I could be so happy.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> To meet the woman of my dreams, have her fall
in love with me and now at some stage marry her.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> It’s like a dream come true.”style='mso-spacerun:yes'> said style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> to herself.
Looking at the woman lying next to her, with the dark strands of hair
covering the pillow, Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> was never
more proud of her lover than at this moment.
She gently began to trace her lover’s body with her fingers, arousing
the same feelings in her body she had experienced the day Caitlin had proposed
to her. Slowly she moved her hand down
towards Caitlin’s breasts and began to massage her nipples.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Caitlin began to groan with pleasure and move
her body to the rhythm of Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>’s
caressing. Slowly style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> moved her
hand down Caitlin’s stomach and moving her head towards Caitlin began to kiss
her slowly. Caitlin grabbed style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> with both
hands and began to kiss her passionately all the while style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> was moving
her hand further and further towards Caitlin’s womanhood.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> After gentle strokes, she moved her hand and
with expert fingers was inside the woman she loved.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She moved in and out of
Caitlin to a steady rhythm whose breathing had become ragged and the groans of
pleasure became louder and louder, until she could feel Caitlin’s body give
itself up and produce an orgasm that even lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Charlottelang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
hadn’t realized was possible! style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>It was at
this precise moment that Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> felt her
own body give in and she joined Caitlin in orgasm heaven.
“Wow, Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>, where did
that come from?” asked a very happy but exhausted Caitlin.
“I was just looking at you lying here beside me and an overwhelming
sense of pride came over me. I wanted
you at that minute and besides, wasn’t it nice to be woken like that?”
responded Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>.
“You can say that again, I feel fantastic and believe me I will repay
the compliment one of these days when you least expect it!”
Charlotte and Caitlin lay in each others arms and drifted back to
sleep. Two hours later they were both
awake and decided they had better get up and start their packing.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> By the middle of the afternoon, both Caitlin
and Charlotte had finished, with Caitlin telling style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> to bring
the cream suit with her because style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> looked like
a million dollars in this outfit and without giving away the secret, she just
said that she wanted to show off her girlfriend to everyone.
While Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> was in the
shower, Caitlin made a quick call to Terri to check that everything was in
place for the following Saturday. The
guys were coming down to style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Byron style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Baystyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> on Saturday
morning and staying until Sunday. They
had been told to avoid Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> at all
costs if they couldn’t keep the secret and at one point Sterlo nearly gave the
game away by saying he would see her next weekend.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> wasn’t sure
what he was talking about and said she would be on vacation which the guys
managed to convince her that Sterlo had completely lost the plot, as style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> didn’t even
work weekends anymore. It seemed to work
and Charlotte was enjoying the last few days stuck in her office doing
paperwork before heading off on her much deserved two week break.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> How she was looking forward to it and it
would take another surprise to show style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> just how
much Caitlin meant to her and that nobody was going to put any obstacles in
their path in future, or so she thought!
The day had finally arrived when Caitlin and Charlotte could set off on
their two week break away from the hustle and bustle of city life.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> No matter what happened style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> was
determined that this was going to the best holiday she had had. Three hours
after leaving their apartment, Caitlin and Charlotte arrived at the Conrad and
booked into their room. There was
champagne, chocolates and a basket of fruit waiting for them and no doubt
before they went to bed the corner would be turned down and a chocolate left on
the pillow. This was going to cost them
a fortune but under the circumstances they didn’t care about money – it was going
to be the most romantic time they had spent with each other in the four years
they had been together.
Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> couldn’t
believe how quickly the week was going.
It was already Thursday and they still had so much to do.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Caitlin, will we ever see all that we want
before we have to go home?” asked style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> in a ratherlang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
sombre mood.
“Of course we will, sweetheart, we still have a week and a half before
heading back” replied Caitlin. What she
hadn’t told Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> was that it
had been agreed that they would take three weeks and the rest of the staff
would cover Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>’s patients
at the hospital. “Next time, we can go
to Europe and see all the romantic cities,
like Parisstyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>, style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Romestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>, and style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Venicestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Wouldn’t that be great style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>?” asked
Caitlin hoping she was going to get the answer she wanted.
“I think it will take us some time to recover from this vacation, but
yes strolling hand in hand with you along the Champs Elysée, St Peter’s Square
and the Piazza San Marco are some of the most romantic venues that I would love
to be seen with you, but I think it will have to wait a while.” replied
Charlotte.
For the next day or so, Caitlin began to liaise secretly with the hotel
manager about all the arrangements for the reception.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She wanted everything to be perfect so that
on Saturday Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> would get
the second biggest surprise of her life.
Saturday morning dawned and with the weather looking set, Caitlin could
hardly control her nerves. “How am I
going to get her into the suit on a day like this?”
“What are you talking about sweetheart, I not wearing a suit until this
evening when I can show you off at the fancy dinner you were talking about.” responded
Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>.
Suddenly Caitlin had an idea, “I’m sorry, babe, but unfortunately we
have to attend a posh do at the marina at style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>3.00 pmstyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> before we
even contemplate going to that restaurant.
I promised my friend I would be there and I don’t want to let him down.”
came Caitlin’s reply.
“Honey, can’t you go by yourself?” replied style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>.
“No Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>, you are
coming with me so that I can show the world my beautiful girlfriend”
“All right” Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> replied in
a rather nonchalant way.
“I’m just going down to reception for a minute, don’t move!” was
Caitlin’s reply.
“I’m not going anywhere without you” said style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>.
“Damn right you’re not!” said Caitlin.
Down at reception Caitlin was talking to the manager as they were just
getting the sign up in the foyer for the guests to follow.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Beaumont/Rainey Wedding – Function Room 2”.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> All seemed to be perfect and a few of the
guys from the hospital had been spotted by Caitlin hanging around the bar, so
she decided to go over and speak to them.
“Hey guys, thanks for coming but don’t get too drunk before the
ceremony!” pleaded Caitlin.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on them” said Von who was by far the most
sensible of the lot in the bar at that moment.
“Well, I’d better go up and get style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> ready,
without explaining what we are actually doing” said Caitlin.
Back up in the hotel room Charlotte was beginning to get anxious.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She thought she spotted Sterlo ambling up the
driveway but surely she had to be mistaken?
At that moment Caitlin appeared in the room and was greeted by questions
from Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> :
“Caitlin, was that Sterlo I saw coming up the drive?style='mso-spacerun:yes'> What’s going on?style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Something gives”style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
“Ok, Ok, look I didn’t want to tell you, but the lads organized a bit of
a do up here the same weekend we were on vacation.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> They thought it would be a good laugh to play
“gooseberry” to us! I didn’t tell you
because I didn’t want to spoil the occasion.
Look, we are having such a wonderful time, let’s just get dressed and go
the party. It’s almost Hour="14" Minute="30">2.30 pm!” said Caitlin.
Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
begrudgingly put on her cream suit and by the time she was finished with makeup
she looked to Caitlin like the most beautiful woman in the world.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Now it was time to take style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> down to the
Marinastyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> and pray
she wouldn’t get cold feet and walk out.
“Let’s go out the back way so if any of the boys are around they won’t
spot us” said Caitlin, hoping this would be a good enough explanation.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She didn’t want style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> to see the
board in reception as she wanted it to be a complete surprise for her lover.
After a short walk down to the marina, Caitlin heard lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Charlottelang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
let out a scream, as she saw in front of her a sign :style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>

“Caitlin, what’s going on?” pleaded style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
“It’s another surprise from me to you” replied Caitlin, “Everyone’s here
and at 3.45 pm this afternoon, you will be my wife and I yours and tomorrow
afternoon we are getting on a plane and heading to Europe for a two week
honeymoon.”
“Caitlin, I have only booked another week off, we can’t, how can we?”
rambled Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>.
“Easy, breathe slowly. The guys
have agreed to cover your patients and Terri cleared it with HR.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> So you see style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>, there is
nothing to stop this happening unless you have changed your mind?” replied
Caitlin.
“No, I haven’t, well you certainly thought of everything.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I can’t believe I found you.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Nothing is going to stop me.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I love you.” said style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Charlottestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>.
“Well then, we better get going” said Caitlin, smiling like a Cheshire
Cat, as they heard the applause as they walked hand in hand along the path.
