Chapter 73 - Just the Two of Us
Jonah grasped Cesca’s hand as the pair of them waved their guests off as they headed off to Cornwall; Cesca didn’t know whether to laugh or cry it was all so much! Jonah really did have a habit of surprising her; well at least she now knew where Mia got it from. She was just so overwhelmed, she felt so speechless, “You alright Ces?”, Jonah asked slightly worried that maybe this wasn’t one of his brightest ideas, Cesca turned to look at him, her eyes sparkling, glazed with tears, “I love you”, was all she said as a single tear so elegantly rolled down her cheek, Jonah smiled as he lifted his thumb to wipe away her tear before bringing her head into his chest. “I have to admit, I am rather enjoying the silence already”, Cesca said turning her head to look up at her husband who just sniggered. Cesca relaxed back in to his chest, there was something so protective about Jonah’s presence, she just couldn’t bear the thought of not being with him, she loved him, simple as that every little detail, feature or habit she embraced about Jonah, she accepted him for who he was and loved him for who he was. He was her Jonah. Jonah played with her fingers as he rested his chin on Cesca’s head, they just fitted together, there was no need for words, but if something was spoken it was a bonus. They were just loving being in each other’s company and they hadn’t even reached Cornwall yet. “So I was thinking”, Cesca sat up and sorted herself out so she could listen to Jonah, “maybe we unpack, grab a shower and eat the evening picnic I have made for us on the beach”, Cesca was gobsmacked even more surprises, “What exactly have you not planned Mr Kirby”, Jonah laughed, “It’s complete with Champagne, thought we could carry on the celebrations in class”, Cesca laughed. “Sounds lovely babe”, She said with a smile on her face, Jonah really was something special something she could never let go of or afford to lose, he meant to much to her and had so much meaning in her life. “Does this picnic happen to have strawberries?”, Cesca asked looking sexily at Jonah, “It may do”, “It better”, Cesca said seductively as she leaned in for a more passionate kiss. Jonah wasn’t going to say no to a kiss from his beautiful lady, the journey was anything but boring but they were glad to finally reach their cottage. Cesca got out followed by Jonah, they both still in their wedding attire and Cesca was kind of feeling a little out of place and couldn’t wait to change and get ready for Jonah’s evening plans. Jonah’s arms wrapped delicately around Cesca’s waist as his chin fitted into the side on her neck as they stood in awe at how beautiful this tiny cottage was, it looked so homely considering it was so empty. The driver unloaded their bags that Jonah had so secretly packed; Jonah thanked the man before giving him a tip for his troubles. “J, this is beautiful”, “Not half as beautiful as you though”, “Oh shush you”, Cesca said before attempting to grab one of the bags, but Jonah stopped her, “This is my treat, you go on inside”, it was amazing how much stuff Jonah had packed simply for the few days they were down. Jonah passed Cesca the key, even that looked gorgeous with the pretty red ribbon tied through the hole along with a pretty heart; it was made for that moment. Cesca turned the lock and walked into this beautifully modern yet warm and homely cottage. Cesca admired the timber and the luscious sofa before taking a look at the kitchen and their bedroom. Cesca simply sat on the bed as she saw the beautiful dressing table and chair and the view from their bedroom window and their four poster bed, their honeymoon was definitely going to be remembered.
Jonah poked his head into their bedroom to see where Cesca was, “All the bags are in”, Cesca smiled before getting up and giving Jonah a kiss, his arms instantly wrapping around her delicate frame, “Guessing you like it”, “Jonah it’s gorgeous, the view, the cottage, everything. Thank you”, “Wow, it must be good if you’re thanking me when we have only just got here”, Cesca laughed, “It is more than good”. They shared a loving embrace before Cesca came up with a sensible idea, “So how about we grab a shower and start unpacking, really needing to get out of this dress”, “Sounds like a good idea”, Jonah said smiling at his wife, “Okay so which bag did you pack all the toiletries in?”, Cesca asked calling out from down the hall, “Urmm, the stripy one”, Jonah said, Cesca grabbed the bag which she had to admit was slightly heavier than she had estimated and took it through to the bedroom before plonking it on to the bed and unzipping it in search of the toiletries. She pulled out her shampoo, shower gel and her towel, “J can you undo my dress please”, Jonah carefully undid the button on her beautiful dress before sneakily kissing the side of Cesca’s neck, “Oi you, not at the minute”, Cesca turned around to give him a sweet peck on his lips before stepping out of her dress and heading for the bathroom of course Jonah’s gaze was not broken until the bathroom door shut. Jonah had the biggest smile a guy could possess, he hadn’t expected Cesca to like it all as much as she did, he headed to try out the TV, he knew Cesca well and had agreed with himself that she would be a while so thought he could catch up on some Inbetweeners, you missed out on these simple pleasures with 3 young children to take care of. He plonked himself down on the sofa before fully enjoying his favourite TV show. Cesca meanwhile was just relishing everything about the trip, she too was smiling. They hadn’t ever been away together like this before, this was all going to be new to them, they deserved this time together, to be able to just be a couple for a few days instead of a family, they loved their children but sometimes a break was much needed. The Episode Jonah was watching had finished so Jonah went to go and grab his stuff out of the bag too, he laid it all out on the bed before carefully placing Cesca’s beautiful wedding dress on to a hanger just as Cesca came out, it slightly startled her to see Jonah in the room and for him to be hanging up her clothes, “Thanks J”, She walked over and sat herself on his lap, her towel tightly wrapped around her, her hair still dripping, their lips locked in a moment of passion, Jonah’s hand trailed up her thigh before Cesca put a stop to it, “Okay, you better get going otherwise we are never going to reach the beach”, Cesca said, their heads still in contact. Cesca delicately climbed of Jonah’s lap, his arms somehow finding her waist once more, “Jonah”, Cesca said, “Get in that shower now”, She smiled, this was just typical him always trying to be the romantic. Cesca rummaged through the bag on their bed finding the hairdryer and her makeup bag, she sat down at the dressing table she was so fond of and dried her hair before applying her normal subtle amount of makeup. Cesca decided on having her hair down, loose and natural. Jonah got out of the shower just in time to catch her before she turned to get up to find some clothes, he held his towel around his bottom half preparing himself to stop her from going anywhere. “Right, I have a surprise for you”, “Another one”, Cesca said almost instinctively, “wait here”, Jonah opened the bedroom door and headed out to the hall, where he had hung his surprise for Cesca, he took a deep breath before taking it off the top of the lounge door, he so hoped she was going to like this, he knew she could be picky but he so hoped he nailed this one. Cesca was still sat down, fiddling with her hands, slightly nervous and unsure of what to make of all these surprises.
Jonah’s hand grabbed hold of the door handle and he carefully poked his head in, “Okay, if you don’t like it then it’s not the end of the world”, Cesca did love how soppy he could be sometimes, Jonah entered the room properly revealing that he had something on a hanger, Cesca guessing straightaway he had bought her something to wear tonight, he carefully unzipped the black bag the dress was in revealing a beautiful red half strapless dress complete with a flower on the shoulder, admittedly it wasn’t something Cesca would usually go for but it was so pretty. The top half was fitted but the skirt which hit her just above the knee was floaty and loose. Cesca took the dress out of the bag holding the hanger and admired it against her body in the full length mirror before throwing the dress on to the bed and giving Jonah yet another hug, “Thank you”, she couldn’t seem to say it enough, she would never be able to thank him enough for everything he had done for her. Cesca got into her dress and Jonah chucked on his smart skinny jeans and blue checked shirt rolling up his sleeves before placing on his boat shoes, Cesca put on some black patent heels they were going down to the beach but that wasn’t going to stop her. Cesca stood up after putting on her shoes, Jonah’s jaw dropping at the sight of how gorgeous she looked, he took her hand, “You ready?”, he smiled, she nodded, they walked out Jonah grabbing the key and the picnic basket he had packed, before walking his lovely wife down to the beach, it wasn’t far, it was nice to be able to stretch their legs properly and enjoy some of the sights on the way, the main factor was it was just so peaceful there were other couples and families all dressed up the same as them all heading down to the marina area, but it was just so relaxing all that fresh air. They soon reached the beach hand in hand Jonah laying out the picnic blanket (a towel or two, after all it was the beach) before insisting for Cesca to sit down, the breeze was warm and the moment was just right, Jonah opened the bubbly handing Cesca her glass just as the sun began to set down on the pair of them, Jonah placed his arm around Cesca whose head fell into Jonah’s neck so innocently, this moment couldn’t have been more romantic or perfect! Jonah had packed all kinds of things from breaded mushrooms and garlic and herb sauce, spring rolls, chicken skewers and for pudding meringue which came with extra strawberries so Cesca was happy. Cesca rested her head on Jonah’s lap as he pushed back her hair away from her face, “Now I’m stuffed”, Cesca said looking up into Jonah’s gorgeous eyes. “Yeah think I over packed slightly”, Cesca giggled, “No, it was yummy and I was hungry, you always were a good cook”, “It’s getting late fancy finishing up here and heading back” Jonah suggested, “Yeah, I’d like that”, Cesca said with a cheeky smile plastered on her face. She sat up and helped Jonah to clear up before they headed back to the cottage, neither of them could wait, the urge to be with one another was beginning to reach its climax.
Jonah wiggled the key in the door, pushing it open as fast as he could, throwing down the picnic basket and wrapping his arms around Cesca, their lips locking as he kicked the door shut, he pushed her towards the bedroom. Tearing each other’s clothes off as if they were just pieces of paper before pushing one another down on to the bed, after all it was their honeymoon and it was going to be one filled with passion. Cesca giggled as Jonah’s tongue pushed its way into her mouth. The night had definitely exceeded all her expectations, she could feel a lazy day coming on tomorrow, they were leaving in the evening so maybe a walk along the beach, but Cesca knew that it would probably be spent in bed, in the arms of her loved one, a mug of coffee and a bowl of popcorn whilst watching a film, anything as long as they did it together. Cornwall had definitely made up for the fact that they had never had a honeymoon the first time. Cesca nestled her head into Jonah’s bear chest, before slowly dozing off to sleep, smile stuck to her face with superglue; she had a feeling it was going to be staying like that. Jonah’s arm was still wrapped around her, protecting her and loving her at the same time, she couldn’t be more happier than she was at that one moment, everything had been perfect everything was on the right track, there wasn’t anything to bring their moods down they were finally able to live life, but you never know what’s around the corner especially when living in Rochdale, branded as the teacher and student who slept together, things pop up out of the blue and the past resurfaces, when you least expect it!
