Chapter 16
I took a taxi to Heathrow Airport from my parents' house in Totton on Saturday morning. As I entered the terminal, Alicia was already in the arrival's hall, having caught a train from York earlier. Naomi and Sabrina soon joined us, having caught a tube from central London. We went through to departures together and then met Mai, who had flown down from Edinburgh. After we hugged and kissed each other, we found a coffee stall to have a drink and a cake while we waited to hear which gate we needed to head to. We didn't have any news to catch up on as we had a group chat online every day, but with four girls, there was hardly a break in conversation. Just before we'd all finished our drinks, Mai called out that our flight was now showing which gate we were boarding, so we drank up and headed in that direction.
It was late May, so it wasn't quite the height of the holiday season, but a large group of people were soon seated around our gate, and after another thirty-minute wait, boarding started. When I booked the tickets, I ensured we were in an emergency exit row, so I'd have slightly more legroom. I was seated with Mai and Naomi, with Sabrina and Alicia across the aisle. We stowed our hand luggage and took our seats. The flight was just over two hours long and uneventful, and the touchdown was smooth, in all, just what you want to start your holiday.
After collecting our checked luggage and walking straight through border control, we headed to the taxi ranks. We'd each brought one medium-sized case, plus hand luggage, so we required two taxis to transport all of us. The villa we'd rented wasn't far, so we were soon unpacked and lounging by the pool. The villa was on a complex with thirty villas, with a communal pool, restaurant, and games area. It was also only 500m from a beautiful sandy beach in a sheltered cove.
The complex was reasonably upmarket, and the guests tended to be couples or older families with teenage children. As far as we could tell, we looked like the only villa with just young adults.
We decided to spend the first few days at the complex and use the lovely beach. We 'slept' in on our first morning, or rather, we didn't get out of bed until nearly midday. The girls had all missed the sex (as had I!), so after sleeping and making love to Alicia and Naomi, Mai and Sabrina swapped places with the other two, and I spent the morning making love to each of them and having lots of cuddles.
We dressed, went to the restaurant for a light lunch, and headed to the beach. We laid our towels and gear on the sand, read, and played in the sea, soaking up the warm sunshine. The water was crystal clear, and it was possible to go on a short boat trip and hire snorkel gear, so we booked that for the following morning. The beach, while not huge, wasn't crowded, so we had found an area we could spread out on. Consequently, as long as we were subtle, we could put suncream on each other moderately sensually, as well as kiss and caress each other.
In the afternoon, we played table tennis and table football in the games area. That evening, we ate in the restaurant before going to the bar, dancing to the house DJ, and socialising. There was a good selection of people there, mainly under forty, and once we started dancing, we were joined by a good number of people. The DJ was okay, and it was very convenient being on site, but we decided to go to the main town at least once to sample the many clubs there. One good thing about the onsite DJ was that it wasn't too loud, so we could talk and mix with others there. The girls were extroverts and spoke to anyone who came near.
The next day was a Monday, and we'd booked to go snorkelling in the morning. We headed down to the beach, where the boat was moored. After being kitted out with masks, snorkels and fins, we boarded the boat to wait. It was only a small boat and could take eight people, and soon, a girl around our age, with, I assume, her dad, came down the boat to get kitted out as well.
"That looks like Daisy!" Mai said. "Sabrina and I were talking to her last night in the bar. She's great fun."
Daisy had dark, wavey hair that fell to her upper back. She was slim, looked quite tall and was very pretty. Her dad was about six feet tall, had tattoos on his arm, and had very short hair. He looked like he could handle himself, and how he walked and looked about made me think of him as ex-military.
After they'd boarded the boat, we introduced ourselves, and the girls started chatting.
"I'm David," I said to the man, holding out my hand.
"Doug," he responded in a Scottish accent as we shook hands.
"ex-SAS?" I asked him, indicating the tattoo on his arm.
"Yep, fifteen years in the service," Doug responded.
"My Dad was a Royal Marine Commando, and my Uncle was a Para," I said. "They always had a great deal of respect for you guys."
The boat captain announced our departure and told us where we were heading. It was a 45-minute ride to an area with no speed boats and, usually, lots of fish to see.
As we headed out into the bay, Doug and I continued chatting about military stuff as the girls got to know each other. Soon, the seven of us were chatting as a group, and it transpired that Doug and Daisy weren't related at all. Daisy was an actress taking a week's break from filming, and the studio had insisted she have a minder with her in case she was mobbed. When we asked her what she was filming, she was quiet for a few minutes, obviously in two minds as to whether she should tell us.
"It's called 'The Force Awakens', it's the new Star Wars film due out at the end of the year," she said.
Well, everyone spoke at once on hearing that! We were all fans of the franchise and knew a new film was in production, but to meet one of the stars was thrilling. After we all calmed down and apologised for being so excited, she told us what little she could do, which was next to nothing! The conversation moved on to other subjects, and we explained our unusual domestic arrangements. Doug laughed and gave me a thumbs-up, and Daisy looked surprised and intrigued.
We didn't get to explain how our unusual situation had happened as the skipper dropped anchor and told us what we should see and what would happen next. The back of the boat had a low staging area from which we could easily get into and out of the sea. So, we stripped off our t-shirts, applied more sun lotion and then took our fins and snorkel gear to the rear. Doug stayed on the boat to watch us (or rather Daisy), so the six of us put on our gear and entered the water.
As the skipper had promised, the water was crystal clear and around 4m deep. The girls, including Daisy, were all wearing bikinis. Daisy's was more modest, but she still looked hot in it. My girls had all decided that less is more and were showing lots of skin. After some persuading, I was wearing Speedos that didn't leave much to the imagination. As we gently swam away from the boat, Naomi and Sabrina teamed up with Daisy, and I joined Mai and Alicia. We could see many colourful fish around the rocks, along with various plants. We pointed out pretty fish to each other, our voices sounding alien as we tried to exclaim our excitement through the snorkels! It didn't stop us from communicating that way, but we soon used as few words as possible to be understood.
As it was relatively shallow, we started taking deep breaths, diving to the rocks below, and swimming around them for as long as we could comfortably hold our breaths. Mai initially kept close to me, and I expected her near drowning when we first met was playing on her mind. Gradually, her confidence grew, and she was soon diving with delightful squeals of happiness.
