Mike looked down at her, he smiled, "I understand," he said, " I am a virgin as well, and to be honest I will be happy be happy just to enjoy your company, and I won't ask more than that." Nann looked into Mike's eyes, "You know, I really think I am falling in love with you, your kind, considerate and caring, and you treat me the way I want to be treated." She giggled, "how would you like me to treat you." Mike smiled. "I will leave that up to you." He said. "But just one thing." He said, "can I kiss you there," pointing to her breasts. Nann looked at him and smiled, "I don't know," she said, "If I let you, you will be the first," Mike had a broad grin on his face, then said. "Well, there has to be a first time for everything." Nann lowered her top showing him what he had wanted to see for months, lowering his mouth, he kissed each one in turn, and as he did, Nann held him around the neck and let out a long sigh of contentment. Mike looked down at her beautiful body, then said. "Nann I do believe that I am falling in love with you too."
Mike and Nann swam, splashed water at each other, and played in the water until dinner time. When they eventually got out of the water and dried off, Mike said, "what are your plans for the rest of the day." "I was hoping you would have plans for the two of us," Nann said. "I have," Nike said, "Let's get dressed and head into Valletta."
Taking Nann into the boathouse, and retrieving her bag, he said, "You can get dressed here, by the canoe. Nann put a large bath towel around her, and whilst Mike kept watch, Nann dressed herself, after some ten minutes, she was looking wonderful, pale yellow top and bright yellow skirt, on her feet were a pair of dainty sandals with a sort of daisy type flower on the strap. Nann was really looking beautiful, and Mike felt proud and happy that this girl wanted to be with him, not only be with him but said she loved him.
Nann wouldn't come up to the flat, so whilst Mike got changed into clean shirt and shorts, then putting some money into his pocket, he made his way to the lounge to say he would see her later. "Ok son." she called out, "and take care of that girl." "Ok Mum," Mike said. "I will." As he was talking, his mother came to the lounge door. "Here you are son," she said coming down the passageway towards him, she handed him two pound notes. "Put this in your pocket," she said and smoothed his hair into place. "Thanks, mum," Mike said. "Thanks the lot."
As they waited for the bus, Mike saw his mother on the balcony, he waved, then grabbing N ann's hand they waited. The bus didn't take long, they found a seat and sat down, the bus was only half full, and the run to Valletta only took about 10 minutes. In Valletta, Mike and Nann made their way to the Codina cafe, there they had a nice meal of macaroni and mince, with some sort of cheese mixed in, it was very nice, and they both enjoyed it. To anyone who might be watching them, they would have seen two people who only had eyes for each other. Under the table cloth that shielded there lower bodies, they would have seen Mike's hand stroking Nann's knee, and the smile on her face told all those watching, that she just loved the way Mike was treating her. After there almost romantic meal, the two of them left the cafe and headed into town. They did a lot of window shopping and spent a lot of time looking in jewellers shops for some reason, and Nann kept asking Mike what ring he would choose if he had to buy one. Mike did see one he that he liked, it was a black stone, with diamond chips all around it and three small diamonds on each shoulder, Mike just loved it, and turning to Nann he said, "If we were to get engaged, that would be the ring I would buy you." "Would you," Nann said, she held onto his arm. "If you put that ring on my finger." Nann said, "I would love you forever." The rest of the day was spent having fun. Mike walked Nann to the bus station, it was getting dark, he said to her, "come on, I will take you home." Sitting at the back of the bus with only a few other people on board, they were more or less left to there own devises, so with his arm around Nann's neck in the dimly lit bus, they kissed and hugged. They passed Peita and carried on to Msida, where Nann's flat was. They got off the bus, and hand in hand walked the short distance to Nann's flat, In the small hallway, there were four doors, Mike was shown into the door on the right, as he walked through, he found himself in a lounge, almost as big as the one at his flat. There was a window at one side, and a door that leads onto a balcony. On the other side of the room was a kitchen area with a breakfast bar and four stools. Sat at a large oak six seater table were Mr and Mrs Taylor, Mr Taylor was in black jacket and bow tie, and Mrs Taylor was in a long gown. As Nann and Mike stood by the door, Mike said to Mr Taylor."One daughter safe and sound sir, Grace smiled and said. "Well thank you, Michael, we appreciate that, don't we Roger." Mr Taylor looked at Mike, but there was no smile on his face, just the look that said, what are you doing with my daughter. Grace asked, "Have you had anything to eat," Nann said, " no mummy, only dinner at dinnertime." "Well, I expect your both hungry." Grace said, "Maureen love, why don't you make Mike and yourself some tea." "Ok mummy," Nann said and then to Mike. "What do you fancy." Mike looked at Nann with a glint in his eye, but her face said,I mean food you bad boy. Mike said, "you're the cook, surprise me." Just at that moment, there was a knock at the front door, Roger got up to answer it, and as he walked out of the room, Grace went over to Mike and said, "Don't you worry about Roger, I will have a word with him." While she was standing next to Mike, the door opened again and Mike's mother and father came into the room. They both looked at Mike, and almost together said."Oh, your here son, we were wondering where you had got too." "I brought Maureen home, where are you two off too." "It's ok son," his father said. "We are going to the chiefs mess, we won't be that long, should be home by midnight." Nann was looking a little worried. "What about me." she said Grace looked at Roger, then said."Michael, how do you feel about sitting with Maureen, it will be her first time alone in the flat at night, would stay with her, please." Mike smiled at Grace. "Of course I will, I promise, she will be quite safe with me. And if, " Mike looked at Nann. "Maureen wants to get her head down, would it be ok if I crash on the sofa." Roger did not look happy, but Ken, Mike's dad took him by the shoulder, and said."Buck, you can trust the lad, I think he likes Maureen too much to upset her, or you. Plus the fact," and he turned and looked at his son. "I'd bloody kill him if he did." Roger's face relaxed. "Ok, let's leave it at that." Ken looked at his son. "We will pick you up after the do, ok." "Ok dad," Mike said, "have a good time." Mike's mother came over and kissed his cheek, saying in his ear,"be good," after which they all walked out of the door down to the car and drove away.
Nann had laid two places at the table, and on two plates Mike was looking down at spam fritters, eggs and chips, Nann said, "help yourself to bread and butter." She went back into the kitchen and bought back two cups of coffee. Mike and Nann sat and ate their food, Mike saying."If you cook like this all the time, then you can cook for me always, this is fantastic, I love it." He leaned across the table and kissed her. After the meal, Mike went out onto the balcony, the flat was on the second floor, and looking up the creek, Mike could see H.M.S. Forth, she was all lit up and looked very smart. Looking the other way he could see Msida itself, with the bars and some shops, the bars were still open, and local men were sat at tables drinking tea and beer out of glasses. Nann had washed up the pots and pans and joined Mike, she stood behind him, her arms around his waist. "Would you mind if I took a shower," she said. "Of course not sweetheart." Mike said, " you carry on." As Nann walked away, Mike shouted after her. "If you need me to scrub your back, just call." he giggled to himself, Mike was still smiling when Nann returned, she was wearing a pair of cotton pyjamas, the trousers ending just above the knee, and a button down jacket that was sleeveless, she looked fantastic, she smelled of roses and Mike wanted to take her in his arms and hold her forever. "Michael," Nann asked, "would you like to take a shower, there's loads of hot water." Mike thought for a moment. "Why not." he said. "show me to the shower." Nann lead Mike into the small bathroom, and as he started to strip off Nann sat on the toilet lid. Mike looked at her. "Are you planning to sit there and watch?" Nann suddenly jumped up, her face turning bright red. "Sorry," she said and walked out of the bathroom Mike turned on the water and climbed in, he soaped himself all over and then heard Nann saying, "There's a towel on the chest of draws," Mike turned under the water to remove all the soap from his body, turning the water off he stepped out and dried himself. Once dressed, he returned to the balcony, he stood looking over the stone wall, he was stood behind Nann, his arms around her waist, he could feel her nakedness under the cotton, and Nann was pushing her bottom back into his groin and rubbing herself against him, Mike had to pull away, once again he felt as he did when they were laid inside the cave at Delamara Point. Things were going to fast for him, Nann turned in his arms and faced him, she put her arms around his neck and locked her lips to his, as they kissed she was pushing her body into his so that he could feel every part of her against him. Pulling away from him Nann looked into Mike's eyes, he could see a watery mist in her eyes, not tears like crying, it was a distant sort of look, a look that said, I want to be with you, I want you to be with me, I want us to be together forever, then very softly, she kissed Mike's mouth, not fully, just at the edge. Then looking into his eyes again, she whispered."Michael Palmer, I love you very much, and I want you to try and fall in love with me, I don't want us to be just friends, I want much more than that, so please, think about it, think about us."
