Saturday was again a beautiful day, Nann realised that Mike was still sound asleep, so gently removing his hand from her waist she climbed out of bed, put on her dressing gown and headed for the kitchen to make two cups of tea. In the lounge Grace was sat at the table eating a slice of toast. "Hello darling, how's it going." Nann gave her mother a sort of smile. "It's ok, I think," she said. Grace patted the table. "Come here my darling, let's have a motherly chat." Nann sat next to her mother and told her what the two of them had talked about the night before. She also told her mother that Mike was too tired to make love to her, even though they had been apart for such a long time. Grace didn't interrupt her daughter, just let her say her piece. Once Nann had finished her mother spoke. "Maureen darling I think you are being a little selfish over this, this man who loves you so very much, spends two days in the same sweaty clothes, flys out here, takes you into town, makes plans for your future together, and all you are worried about is the fact he didn't make love to you because he was too tired. I'm sorry my sweet, if that's all you have to worry about, then you should really be over the moon." "But mummy, its been six months," Nann said. "!Maureen love." Grace said, showing a little annoyance in her voice. " You have the best there is, he even beats your dad sometimes, but don't tell your father I said that. so believe me when I say you are a lucky woman. So if I was your age and found someone who loved me as much as Michael loves you, I would be only too happy to let him sleep, regain his strength, charge his batteries and see how the land lies. Now go, take you, man, a cup of tea, he needs it."

Nann got up from the table and went into the kitchen to finish off making the tea. Then with two mugs in her hands, she headed for the bedroom to rejoin Mike. as she left the lounge, Grace said. "Darling, I have to go out in a few minutes, your dad will be home at 1." In the bedroom, Mike was awake, as Nann walked in with the tea he looked at her. "Where have you been, come here, I need a cuddle." Nann loosened the cord to her dressing gown and it slid to the floor, Nann slid under the sheet and Mike grabbed for her, gently pulling her into him they kissed, then Mike turned Nann onto her back and getting her into the position her wanted her in, he joined his body to hers. "Michael love are you..." Mike kissed her before she could finish, then looking down at her beautiful body he said, "all taken care of." As Nann felt Mike, she put her arms around his neck a huge smile on her face, her mother had been right, all Mike needed was to recharge his batteries, and what he was doing to her at this precise moment also told her that her mother was right, Mike did love her and loved her deeply.

Grace didn't knock there door when she left the flat, she did call out goodbye from the front doot, but Mike and Nann never heard a thing, they were too engrossed in each other, trying to make up for lost time.

It was mid morning, and both Mike and Nann were together in the shower removing soap from each other's bodies, climbing out of the shower, they helped dry each other. As Nann stood drying her toes, she had her foot on the small footstool, Mike walked up behind her and ran his fingers over the cheeks of her bottom, Nann stood up and looked at him. "Your never satisfied." she said, then giggling said." how many more times do you want this body." as she spoke she let the towel fall to the floor so that Mike could see what was now his, Mike looked at her with a glint in his eye. "Every day, and twice on Sunday's," he said. "I'll have to think about that," she said. "Well," Mike said. "I suppose I could always smack your bum." "No way," Nann said, the last time you put me over your knee, I had to change my pants, tell you what, give me until tonight to think about it.

Back in the bedroom, they both got dressed, Mike put on a new shirt, new shorts and his new sandals, he looked quite presentable, Nann was watching, she was still standing wrapped in her towel. Dropping the towel to the floor Nann went to the top draw of her dresser and took out bra and pants, as Mike watcher her dress, he realised how exotic it was, and felt that to some extent they did it on purpose. Nann was now turned to Mike in her bra and panties, then it suddenly struck him, he recognised what she was wearing, it was the underwear he had bought for her on Portland. Mike's eyes widened, Nann came into his arms and said to him. "You have good taste, I love this set, but between you and me, this is only the second time I have worn them, I wore them when I first got them and showed Mummy, in fact, it was her that took the photo I sent you, in fact, it was mummy who took all those special photos for me, she knew what I wanted and as she always said, if you want to keep your man happy, give him something that will remind him of what he has waiting for him at home. My mother seems to understand a lot of thing about Sailors and there needs, and is passing her knowledge on to me." Still standing in front of Mike she said,  "Well give me your honest opinion." Mike made a grab for her, and she didn't hold back, she went into his arms. "You look fantastic." Mike said, " and yes I do have good taste." Then Mike started to laugh, Nann was wondering what was going on. "Sorry love," Mike said, "It's just, well when I went to buy this outfit, the first thing I was asked was your size, and I didn't have a clue, Anyway this shop assistant Janice came out, and she was, body wise like you, so it was with her help that I went for what you are now wearing. " Nann started to giggle, then kissing Mike, she said,. "When we are married, I will give you the secret of your wife's measurements, but for now, I must thank you for picking out the colour, and for Janice being the same size as me. By the way sweetheart, have you still got the pictures I gave you?" Mike went to his small brown case, using the key he unlocked it and gave Nann the pictures still wrapped in tissue paper, then Nann took the picture and put them into her underwear draw and put them under her panties. Looking at Mike, she said. "They will be safe in there, nobody goes into that draw, not even mother. and if we are ever parted for any length of time, you will have them back, to keep under your pillow on board ship." Nann finished dressing, she put on the little green dress she wore on her birthday, the dress that Mike loved, then putting on a little lipstick, a dab of perfume and running a brush through her hair, she was ready for a nice day out.

As Mike and Nann walked out of the building, Roger was coming in. "Got to change and pick up your mother." he said. "By the way, it's tombola tonight, do you fancy coming." Nann looked at Mike, he smiled and nodded. "Ok daddy, we will come along," she said. As Mike and Nann walked to the bus stop, they were talking about the last time they played. "Yes," Nann said. "You won £75, by the way, Michael was there anything left of that money when you left Malta." When the bus came along and they got on and sat down, Mike said." Well, there was the ring, the locket and the canoe. By the way, how is the canoe, if it's nice tomorrow, we could take her out for a spin." "Michael," Nann said. "The money." " Oh yes, the money," Mike said. "Well as I said, there was the ring, locket and canoe, that left me with about £40." Nann looked at him. "And what happened to the £40," she asked. "Oh," Mike said. "That's in the bank, I used that to open the bank account." Nann put her arms around Mike's neck and kissed him. "Oh you are a clever old stick, aren't you," she said. "Well." Mike said, "I did do it for us.

In Valletta Mike and Nann went straight to their favourite cafe, it was a beautiful day, but very hot, so they sat inside, in the window seat, Mike ordered iced coffee and egg sandwiches. "So." Nann asked, "What are we doing in Valletta, what do you want to do." "I don't know," Mike said. "But I do know that sat with you like this is nice enough at the moment." They took ages to eat and drink, then after an hour decided to walk. Walking up the back street, they ended up at the Barracca gardens. "I wonder." Mike said, "wonder what," Nann asked. Mike walked her into the gardens and found their special seat, it was unoccupied, so they sat down, and under the arch behind the shrubs and bushes they sat and talked, it was lovely and cool here, the sun seemed to have bypassed this area of Malta, and as they held each other and kissed, they spent time sorting out there future together. Mike looked at his watch, it was just passed 16-45. "I think we had better make tracks," Mike said. They made their way to the bus station and just caught the Sliema bus as it was pulling out, finding a seat they sat down, then with Nann's arm around Mike's shoulder, and Mike's hand on Nann's knee they headed home.

In the flat, they had a quick shower and changed there clothes for the tombola, then going into the lounge Grace asked them if they wanted anything to eat, but they both said they would wait for the interval at the tombola and have a pastie. They had a great evening, Nann won £40 on the house in the second game, and Mike won the same on the last but one game. Then to top it all, Grace won £50 on the last house of the evening. During the interval, they had their Cornish pasties, and as Mike remarked, they still taste the same, just as he remembered them. Roger went to the bar and came back with a bottle of, as he said giggle water, and they all toasted the long lost son, though Mike wondered what that was all about. But Nann, while they lay in bed, tried to explain to Mike, that her mother looked upon Mike as a son and loved him dearly, and she said." Darling, if you ever hurt this young man, I will never forgive you." When I asked why she said. "Mike is very much like your father, he worships the very ground you walk on, and like your father will look after you for the rest of his life, as your father looks after me. She told me that you were kind and gentle and would always treat me right, like your father firm, but fare. I did say you have smacked my bottom, but as she said, not in a vicious way, and I had to agree, Mummy said, darling that is called a love tap, it's their way of showing you, that they wear the trousers but the love never goes away. She told me that mummy and daddy are a team, they work together, and as such try to do the right thing. She then said, that if I can show you the same love as they have, then like them we will end up the perfect couple. Nann then kissed Mike and snuggled into him.

Mike didn't make love to Nann that night, they were both tired and drifted off to sleep still snuggled into each other. It was a very hot night, so with the mosquito net on the bed over them, they both slept in their birthday suits on top of the sheet, they tried to get comfortable, but it was too hot, and in the end, they both turned away from each other and ended up with there bottoms touching, and that's how Grace found them when she came into the room with a cup of tea each. Grace saw the two bodies, and didn't bat an eyelid, she just placed the tea on the bedside cabinet and told them that it was almost breakfast time, then walked out of the room. Mike rolled over and looking ar Nann who was still facing away from him, he wanted to try something new, so getting himself organised, he snuggled right in against her, Nann stirred and realised what Mike was trying to do, she didn't pull away, and as he made the connection she just tried to enjoy this new sensation, and she did, Nann put her hand to her mouth to stifle the scream, then holding onto Mike's waist, she allowed Mike to take his pleasure. She had never felt as good as she felt at that moment, except that day in the canoe when they were tied up to the bastion wall and the tanker had gone past. 

Afterwards,, Nann said." I love that position, and I think you do too, I want us to make love like that often." Mike who was still joined to his beautifully naked future wife leaned in and kissed her shoulder, then as she turned her head to him he kissed her mouth saying. "Your word darling is my command. Nann then handed Mike an almost cold cup of tea and together with smiles on there faces they drank.
