Chapter 21 - Returning home
It had been a long day for Logan and Beth as they pulled the PSV into the school's driveway, they had decided to drive the last four hundred or so miles in one hit, only changing drivers if the other was too tired to continue.
"Home at last," Logan commented dryly. He looked over to Beth and gave her one of his bright smiles.
She responded with a smile herself, groaning, "I think I could sleep for a week."
"I don't think were gonna get much of that in the next few hours." He responded as he fixed his gaze back in front.
"Don't tell me, everyone is waiting for us on the front step." She could have wept.
Taking her hand in his, he kissed it. "Only those that matter, love."
"Come on then," she said as she moved to get out of the vehicle, "the sooner we get this done the sooner we can go to bed."
"Is that an invitation?" He teased.
"Not on this occasion, but it would be good to have you back in my room."
"Your room, why not mine. I happen to like the fact that it is at the far end of the landing up by the orchard, and with all those excited sounds you make when we're . well, you know!" He laughed at his own embarrassment.
"My sounds! What about yours?"
"Okay, so we both get a bit heated, but wouldn't it be better knowing that half the school couldn't hear us?"
"I suppose you're right . your room it is then. Lets get this over with."
No sooner had Beth closed the door behind her than Marie was putting her arms around Beth and hugging her. Beth, at first shocked, took this as a very good sign and hugged back.
"Ah'm so glad your home, both of you," quickly glancing across to Logan as he made his way to the mansion with their bags. "So, Beth, you don't mind if ah still call you Beth do you?" Beth shook her head; she didn't mind at all, she knew things could get weird if they tried to change things too quickly. "Did you both have a good time?"
"Yes, it was great. A good rest is always a good idea. How have things been here whilst we've been away."
"Well, they've been quiet. Ah've been able to concentrate on manipulating my ability better than ah could before, and hopefully now I won't get anyone's images if ah touch them. Uncle Charles and Jean have been great."
Did she just say Uncle? Perhaps things were looking up. "And what about Remy?"
"That's something ah wanted to talk about with you? Ah think ah'm finally ready to try?"
"What, try as in sleep with him?" She was perplexed, with the look on both their faces anyone would have thought they already had tried.
"Well, ah wouldn't have put it quite like that but yeah, sleep with him. We've been pretty close but ah've shied away from it for so long now ah don't know if he is interested in me anymore."
"Did you two have a fight about it?"
"Yes," Marie's face suddenly dropping. "He thinks ah'm a tease, we've kissed and we've touched and we've both . you know!"
"You've both had orgasms?" Beth whispered.
"Yes, exactly that." Marie's eyes wide at the honesty of Beth's question, she certainly wouldn't have been able to talk to her adoptive mum like this.
"May I make a suggestion," Marie nodded her head in agreement. "Take him out to dinner, or make him a meal, something to get the mood going. Find a quiet secluded room away from the main school; go to a motel if you have to, just don't stay here. You're going to need to be able to relax. Make sure you have all you bases covered. Get some wine, lighten the mood further with some romantic music and lighting and make sure you've got condoms handy. Take everything at your pace, Marie, don't let him take the upper hand and if he loves you like I think he does, he will go as slowly or as quickly as you want. Above all though, make sure you have fun."
"Thanks, Beth." Marie smiled.
"My pleasure." She said. She took hold of Beth's arm and steered her towards her waiting uncle. "Marie tells me that her uncle Charles has been looking after her!"
"You know me, Beth, I always treat members of my family with the utmost care and attention . and love."
"Well, you would have had Logan to contend with if you hadn't," she smiled wickedly and noticed Logan turn to meet her eye.
"Exactly," Charles exclaimed. "I do hope you are going to fill me in at some stage. Tell me the truth about you and Logan, from the beginning."
"Of course, but now isn't the time. I really need to catch up on my sleep."
"Then I think you will like my little surprise, walk with me?" Charles asked. 'You too, Logan.'
Beth let go of Marie's arm only to have it taken by Logan as the two stepped out across the lawn, closely following Charles and his chair. Once they were at the middle of the lawn Charles stopped and motioned for Beth to take his hand. "You remember as a child, Beth, that I would not allow you to go near this part of the garden."
"Yes, there was an old gamekeeper's cottage that was practically derelict, right?"
"Right. Well, I had it renovated a number of years ago but was never really sure what to do with it. If I had taken a bride then maybe I would have used it myself, but as it is . I want you to have it, consider it a late wedding present to you both."
"What," tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. "You can't mean that."
"Of course I do. Yours and Logan's stuff is already in there. I'm not sure that everything will be in the places that you want them but I'm sure that in time you will have things just so."
"Thank you, Charles. We were kind of wondering if we would get any privacy being in the main house."
"Well, now you know you have and I couldn't think of any two people that were more worthy of it."
Beth, struggling with her emotions, put her hands to her head and wept. She was so happy. Logan reached for her and pulled her into his arms. He rubbed her back, consoling her and whispering to her. "You know, for someone so pleased you seem to be crying a lot." That comment received a snigger as she looked up at him.
"I can't believe that beautiful cottage is ours."
"No, nor can I." Logan turned to Charles, "thanks, Charles. It is a lovely gift and we gladly accept it." Feeling Beth begin to cry again he pulled her back into his comforting arms.
Charles was impressed. "Not Chuck, or Chas or even Wheels, Logan. You must be slipping in your old age!"
"Nah! Just thought you deserved a bit of respect today. Tomorrow I'll be back on form." His broad feral grin appearing as he winked at Beth. She laughed heartily, she had missed her family terribly over the years, agonised over the fact that she may never her family together but she now knew she was back where she belonged, back with the people she loved the most. Safe and secure.
Charles began to move away from the couple towards the house and stopped again. "Oh, Beth, Logan, nearly forgot to tell you. The ball I was meant to be holding some time ago for Beth's return, well I am holding it this coming Saturday and I would like it to be held in honour of you both, if that is okay."
"Yeah, fine," Beth motioned, "that means I've got four days of sleep ahead of me, thank god." She began to walk towards her new home. "Logan, you coming?"
Logan glanced at Charles and shrugged. "I best go and tuck her in!" Smiling, he turned and ran to catch up with his wife.
Charles could only look on in amazement, shake his head and smile. Who would have known that Logan would have been the perfect man for his Beth? But Charles knew Beth was content with Logan and loved him more than she could ever express, and Charles knew that Logan did too, in return. Turning back towards the mansion he put his chair into forward motion and went on his way.
