“What was it you wanted Ava?”
“Oh gross Dad, I can’t talk to you like this, get up, you said we could get the Jet Ski’s out today.”
I hear the bed room door slam and Gabe throws the doona off of me and rolls over on top of me, I wrap my legs around him. Just as the bedroom door swings open and Zac comes in. I scream.
Gabe shouts, “What the fuck Zac, ever heard of knocking?”
“Dude, nice tat. Morning Lauren, nice legs.”
I smile and wave over Gabe’s shoulder, expecting him to leave, instead he comes all the way into the bedroom and smacks Gabe’s arse.
“So, are you two shagtastic lovebirds getting out of this sex pit today or do the rest of us have to spend the weekend pretending not to hear all the moans and groans coming from in here and seriously, you need to open a window, it smell just like fresh fuck in here and it’s so fucking sweet it’s making me jealous…and hard”
“Zac, I swear to god, if you don’t get out of here.”
Sam appears in the door way, “Whoa, seriously you two, open a window, smells of fresh fuck in here.”
I’m actually now dead; I’ve died of embarrassment and am now listening to these comments from the afterlife!
“Get. The. Fuck. Out!!!”
Gabe roars and the pair of them walk off laughing as Zac calls back to us, “Chill man, just pulling your pissa… But seriously, open a window and shower, both of you, you smell of pheromones and hormones and sexmones and all that shit.”
Bastards!
CHAPTER 11
We give up on our morning quickie and shower and join the rest of the family for brekkie, Gabe points at all of them and says, “One word, one fucking word about what you think you heard last night and we will pack up and leave.”
I hide behind him and blush from the roots of my hair to the tips of my toes, Charlie laughs, “Stop taking it so serious Gabe, they are just jealous, make as much noise as you like mate.”
We sit down at the table and every single one of the grownups makes a point of giving out a little moan, Gabe looks seriously pissed off, I feign indifference and shrug my shoulders as I lean across to Gabe and stroke his face.
“They’re just jealous baby, coz you are soooo good.”
He laughs, they cheer and we all get on with breakfast.
The boys have promised to take the boat and the Jet Ski’s out with the kids today and I can’t wait. Jason and I have had a couple of Jet ski’s for years and I love getting out on the bay, going as far out as is safe and looking back at the beautiful coastline of the Mornington Peninsula. The house here has its own boat ramp so we don’t even have to leave the back garden. By the time the boys have got the boat and Jet Ski’s on the water it’s around noon and because of the beautiful weather the lake is getting busy. Charlie is really strict on safety around the water, all the kids and adults have to wear Safety vests and all of the kids over twelve hold a PWC license, as do the adults. Luckily mine is still in place and not up for renewal until March.
Gabe, Zac and Cooper take all of the older kids out on the Jet Ski’s while Charlie offers to take some of the younger ones out on the boat. Jackie looks at me with disdain when I volunteer to go out with him, “Wouldn’t you rather stay here and lounge around the pool Lauren, you really are looking quite pale, your tan could do with some work.”
Before I get a chance to speak, Stella harks up, “I’ll come with you Loz, I don’t want to lie around here getting baked and wrinkly from the sun, taking the kids out on the boat will be a blast…Dad you ready?”
I shrug at Jackie and can’t help but smile; we round up the kids and enjoy an hour out on the water before the boys find us, just as Charlie’s mobile rings.
“Gabe would you go and pick Jackie up, she’s bored and wants to come out on the water.”
Gabe doesn’t get chance to answer before Cooper jumps in…
“I’ll go; Gabe wants to take Lauren out.”
