As Piper sat drinking tea, she listened as Will brought her up to speed on his life after she'd left.
It turned out he'd trained to be a PE Teacher at the local Primary school. Looking at his body, this didn't surprise her. She could see from the jeans and the t-shirt he was wearing that there wasn't an ounce of fat on him. No doubt he had the ladies swooning over him. Especially as he had always been outgoing, flirtatious, carefree, and now, downright sexy!
The feeling left Piper feeling confused - this was Will her childhood friend. The boy she'd spent running about naked with as children. And now, she was looking at him in a completely different way. And how sweet that he'd made the effort to come to her parents to greet her.
"It's so good to see you, Piper. When your parents told me you were coming home I knew I had to be here. So what are your plans now you're back?". Will asked.
Talk about being put on the spot " Erm, I haven't thought that far ahead. I made the decision to come home so fast that I never thought about it".
"Well maid, I for one am glad you came to your senses and left that awful city. Me and Mum hated you living there with all that crime!. You're a cornish lass through and through and this is your home. Mum will be so glad to see you once she's back from work". Piper's dad chimed in.
"Dad, London isn't as bad as you think it is. it's just like any other city only bigger and a lot busier. I moved there because it was easier to practice, you know that. As beautiful as Cornwall is, it was limited as to what I could do".
"Well, I for one am so glad you're home. It hasn't been the same without you. The dream team finally back together". Will winked at Piper, referring to himself, Piper and Seb.
The dream team thought Piper - somehow she knew that things would never be the same - they were all grown up!
Entering her old bedroom Piper stepped back in time. Her room was exactly the same as the day she'd left. Even the posters of Bruno Mars and Katy Perry still adorned her walls. Piper made a mental note to ensure she took them down. It was incredibly embarrassing for a woman of her age to still have her bedroom littered with her teenage self!Piper stood looking in the mirror - her hair was still a deep auburn that fell past her shoulders. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue and her skin was still as pale as the day she was born. In her eyes, she had always looked unremarkable, but people always commented on how beautiful she was. At a size 16 and 5ft, 9 Piper was what you would politely call curvaceous - at least that's what she had been told by her lovers in the past. Well if you could count only 2 men as lovers. She had even been likened to a younger Christina Hendricks on more than one occasion. If only!She hadn't always looked like this. As a teenager, she was too
Will couldn't stop thinking about Piper. His boyish friend had turned into a beautiful woman. He closed his eyes as he imagined Piper underneath him. Her auburn hair spread across his bed, her large breasts bouncing up and down as he thrust into her.If only it wasn't a dream! Although he was torn as Piper was his childhood friend and he had never even thought about her in a sexual way. That was until he opened the door and embraced her, feeling her curves mold into his body. Was it wrong to think of her this way? Did she feel the same? Never in a million years did he think he would be aroused by the sight of Piper.But how should he approach it? Just asking her out felt too awkward, especially as it would come out of the blue to her. Maybe he could talk to Seb about the best way to approach it?So far Will had only managed to mark 2 of his pupil's papers. His concentration level was completely shot and he was being counterproductive.After al
Merryn Fawkner eyed her daughter across the breakfast table. Their reunion had been emotional when she saw her daughter for the first time in 9 years this morning. Some would think it strange that it had been so long, and it was. Piper had never wanted to come back and visit and Merryn and George had never left Cornwall.Piper's return was so sudden that her suspicions had been peaked. But as usual, her daughter pretended that everything was fine. But she knew better - Piper was hiding something. All she could do was hope that when Piper was ready she would open up. A problem shared and all that."Have you made any plans today?". Merryn asked."I thought about going for a walk and maybe to the beach. That's the one thing I missed most about living in London. There was nowhere to escape to and it was always loud and busy." Piper replied."That's why dad and I would never come and visit. The thought of being exposed to the hustle and bustle of a big city le
The walk from her parent's cottage down to the beach was a straight road that only took Piper 2 minutes to walk. The sea air assaulted her nostrils and the breeze was comforting against her face. The heat from the sun radiated straight through her body and warmed her from the inside. The sand gently caressed her feet like that of a lover. Nothing could ever compare to this beautiful gem of a town. Piper laid out her towel and sat watching the waves gently stroke the shore. A sense of calm enveloped her that she hadn't felt in such a long time. It was so reassuring to just sit and take in her surroundings. Families were swimming in the sea, making the same memories Piper had as a young girl. The laughter of the children made her smile - this was what life was all about. Piper was disturbed by the loud ringing of her mobile. When she looked it was a private number which she thought was strange. "Hello?". No answer - just breathing."Hello?" again Piper was
Seb finished his second boat trip of the day. His customers seemed happy so he was happy, and getting paid was always a bonus as the boat wasn't cheap to run. He'd been doing fishing trips and coastal cruises since he'd left the Army 3 years ago. When he was medically discharged, he knew immediately what he'd wanted to do. For the 6 years, he was in the Army he'd thought of nothing but home. Being out on the open sea made him feel free and helped him to forget the atrocities he'd seen whilst enlisted. The injury he sustained whilst actively serving was a blessing in disguise as the decision was taken out of his hands as to whether he should continue serving. And now here he was, sitting on his own boat that he'd called Pip, making a living doing what he loved. Sometimes the hours were long, but they kept him busy and out of trouble. Seb kept his honey blonde hair short and unlike his brother Will, he was 4inches shorter and muscular. The Army had made s
The Harbour Inn was full of Cornish character and charm and also provided a bed & breakfast service. It was right on the harbour of Porthleven and was another firm favourite amongst the locals and tourists who flocked there. Seb decided on the cheddar cheese and chutney sandwich with a flat white. He ordered at the bar and then went and found a seat by the pool table where he could watch customers come and go. From his years in the Army, he always made sure he never had his back to the room and knew where all the exits were located. To others, this would be a tad over the top, but to Seb, it had become a way of life. Gone was the naive 18-year-old and in its place a careful and cautious man. Seb's food arrived and he ate in silence, enjoying his own company whilst still listening to the conversations around him. He found the gentle hum of voices comforting when he wasn't having to take part in idle chit-chat. He wasn't rude, he just didn't find speaking n
Piper was suddenly winded at the piercing green eyes staring back at her - Seb Clemens as she lived and breathed. Standing in front of her oozing a quiet sex appeal just like his brother Will.He was so muscular and looked to be hard in all the right places. As she scanned him, he chose that moment to lick his lips. Oh god, she thought, what luscious lips he had. But, she shouldn't be looking at him like that, he was her friend.What should she say to him? Should she hug him? No, best not as he didn't look happy to see her. It was agony as they stood there in silence, so Piper decided to bite the bullet and speak first."Hi Seb, how are you?".It felt like forever until he replied "I'm well, thanks, Piper. When did you get back?".Even his tone was cold, or was she misreading him? Seb had always been hard to read as kids and even more so as a teenager. But she could swear she felt nothing but disdain emanating from him.Seb stood roote
That wasn't how Seb thought his first meeting with Piper would go at all. He'd been so rude! God only knew how Piper was feeling now. Seb considered going back in and setting the record straight, only, he wasn't sure he wanted to. He'd felt so angry at her when they were face to face, but for what he wasn't sure? The anger had just appeared out of nowhere and had dissipated as soon as he'd left the pub. "You're such an idiot!" Seb scolded himself as he headed towards his trusted boat Pip. He knew he could be difficult and moody at times, but generally, he tried to keep a lid on it. Showing any kind of emotion was a weakness in his eyes, at least that's what being in the Army had taught him. His parents were constantly comparing him to Will, and always questioning why he couldn't be more like his brother who was outgoing, gregarious, and flirtatious. Or, in Seb's own words - a male slut! To their parents, Will was the golden goose o
