Gold

Part seven

At the hotel Kidman came knocking on the door, looking for Linzi. Jade opened the door and glared at him.

"Look I want to apologize for earlier," he said, "Is Linzi here?"

"She gone for a walk." said Jade.

Kidman found Linzi in the hotel grounds. She turned with a jump when he touched her arm.

"I'm sorry," he said, "For not listening to you earlier."

"What's changed your mind?" she asked bitterly, "Five hours ago you never wanted to set eyes on me again."

"I got some advice from a friend. He made me realize something."

"What?" asked Linzi.

"He asked me if I wanted to ignore you and regret it or talk to you and sort it out." Kidman smiled at her.

"And which option did you choose?" she asked, moving closer to him.

"Neither," Linzi looked at him confused, "I decided that what I really wanted to do was follow my instinct and kiss you."

Kidman cupped Linzi's chin in his hand, entwining his other hand in her hair and gently bent his lips to hers. Her arms snaked around his neck, pressing her body to his. She moaned as he slid his tongue into her mouth.

A rustle and snigger from nearby bushes made them break off. Investigating they found Mel and David. Mel clouted David.

"He over balanced and fell on top of me. We were just checking that everything is alright." explained Mel.

"Everything's fine." smiled Kidman, hugging Linzi.

"Where's Jade?" asked Linzi.

"She gone looking at Juvi's tattoo collection." said Mel. She and Linzi looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"A happy ending all round." said Linzi.
