Daylight shone through David’s bedroom window to find Tam already dressed and showered and in his kitchen making coffee. It was this smell that aroused him from his slumber. Absent minded he wandered out to the kitchen scratching his head and yawning. Tam had to smile he did look like a big cuddly teddy bear first thing in the morning. “Morning sleepy.”
“You stayed.”
“You asked me to.”
Tam handed him some coffee, there was no need to say anything else.

Much the same was happening in Sebastien’s apartment. Lea had been up before the sun. She to had made coffee for them and again it was this smell that woke Sebastien.
Lea was standing at the window looking out at the world when he came from behind and wrapped his arms around her. She turned around still encircled by his embrace, holding her coffee out so it would not spill, they kissed passionately and Lea almost dropped her mug. Every fibre of her being began to tingle; it seemed she could not get enough of this Frenchman that had stolen her heart.
Sebastien silently took her coffee from her and took a sip then placed the mug on the table and led her back into the bedroom. Lea was going to be taking a second shower that morning.

Felicity had managed to get as far as the shower enjoying the gentle caress of the water as it ran down her body. It was the noise of the shower that had woken Carlos. He smiled and went to the now steamy bathroom. Silently he opened the door to shower and watch as the water ran down the amazing body of his sweet lady. He went in and began to kiss the graze she had on her head from the rock, at the same time pulling her towards him. The gentle beating and the warmth of the water was sensual and only seemed to enflame their passion. As it danced over and around their bodies they made love until it ran cold.

Lea did have another shower as she left Sebastien again asleep in the bed or so she thought. As the water lapped over her, she felt his presence, his gentle touch as he washed her back, gently following his hands with his lips. The water seeming to magnify the sensation of his touch. Although the water was warm Lea had goose pumps. She dropped the soap and turned, holding his head in her hands and almost devouring him with her kiss. Sebastien groaned, his body groaned, his legs went weak. Lea pushed him up against the shower wall and for the second time that morning her body exploded with a forceful delight she hoped would never end.

Without knowing it the morning had brought each of them a little closer together and given them a few hours off from the trauma that had been their lives over the past weeks.

There was a knock at Carlos’ door. As he opened it Rica smiled at him. “Mornin’ Honey. Your lady friend decent yet?”
Carlos was a little taken back by her remarks but then remembered they knew that Felicity was with him. “Yes, please come in Rica. We were just discussing whether we should go to the cafe for breakfast.”
Rica plus one of her men entered the apartment. Flea was in the kitchen making another pot of coffee. She smiled at Rica. “You guys up for a cup of coffee?”
“Dang if that isn’t the best idea I have heard in nearly 12 hours. Thanks Honey.”
Flea handed Rica and her offsider a mug each and smiled as Rica closed her eyes to drink it. “If that ain’t better than sex.”
Carlos and Flea looked at each other and blushed just a little.
“So did you want to talk to me about something Miss Rica?” Carlos wanted so much to be thinking about anything else right now except what he was thinking. (Shower scenes) and he wasn’t thinking about Psycho the movie either.
“No actually Mr Marin. I need to talk to Felicity if you don’t mind.”
“Please call me Carlos.”
“Thanks Hun I will.”
Flea came to sit down on the sofa. “I am not sure how much help I can be. I didn’t see very much.”
Aw honey. People always say that and people always know more than they think. We’ll help ya’ll remember.”
“Ok, then fire away.”
Rica asked Flea questions as her offsider took notes.

While this was going on Tam and David had decided to head to the Bakery for some yummy breakfast supplies. Mama Hilda and Papa Joseph were so happy to see them. Mama Hilda gave David’s cheeks a big squeeze. David had given up trying to get her to stop ages ago and just went with it these days. He actually liked the attention. She was like a surrogate grandmother. As before she slipped some extras into their bag.
What David and Tam did not know was that Vaga had been watching and he was furious. How many boyfriends did that little witch have? What did they do, share her around. What ever it was she was never alone, not once had he seen her by herself. He felt the gun in his pocket and for a split second thought about using it then and there. But he did not have the advantage. He also noticed that the same person that had followed them down the street had followed them back again. What he didn’t notice was the man who had walked up behind him. “You planning on holding up the bakery mister or you just weird?”
Vaga almost jumped out of his skin but his anger took over. “What the hell you talking about. I got a right to stand on the street like everyone else. Who do you think you are buddy!!!!!!” Looking into this mans eyes Vaga knew that had been a mistake.
Danny flexed his muscles under his black t shirt. “I’m the person who is going to put you into a permanent state of rigor mortuus if you don’t bugger off.”
Vaga looked into Danny’s eyes again and knew he meant it. He had not raised his voice nor had the expression on his face changed. To anyone walking passed it would look like two people just talking.
“Okay, Okay I’m going.”
Danny watched Vaga until he was sure he was not going to come back. There was something about him that did not sit well. He called in and Rica told him to grab Eric and make up a composite picture of him just in case.
Rica had finished asking Flea questions when there was a knock at the door. David and Tam came in. Not expecting to find anyone but Carlos.
David knees gave way when he saw Rica and it seemed he had lost the ability to talk.
Rica smiled. “Aww Miller you sweet thing, you brought breakfast for us all, How adorable.”
David just stood there holding the bakery bag, that voice, her voice. Tam nudge him twice to bring him back to earth. “Oh yeah. Mama Hilda put some extras in, there should be enough.”
Rica took the bag off him and had a look for herself. “Dang Miller, how many do you plan on feeding with this? The whole seventh fleet.”
“Well. There’s us and then Urs.’
“What do you mean Honey, There’s us and then there’s us?”
“No all of us here and then OOORs in the hospital.”
Rica had a smile on her face. She was teasing him and it took David a minute to figure it out. “Oh Man. I want my baked goods back.”
Everyone laughed.
Rica riffled through the bag making sure that she took something there was more than one of. It happened to be a bear claw. She saw the look on Carlos’ face. “Aw. Bless your heart Carlos. Here.” She threw the other one at him.
Again everyone laughed.
As Rica gave the bag back to David she winked at him. “Honey bear, you’re such a sweet thing don’t you know”
David felt his face getting warm.
As Rica and her offsider left David saw her give him half the bear claw she had taken.
Closing the door and trying to regain his composure David asked Flea a question. “Been her long Flea?”
The look on her and Carlos’ face said it all. “Oh. So I guess you are ready for breakfast then.”
Flea nodded but Carlos was rather more vocal. “I’m starving.”
It was David’s turn to laugh.

Lea and Sebastien had caught Rica just as she was about to enter the elevator.
“Hendo. You sleep well?”
“I guess.”
Rica looked at Sebastien who had an impish look on his face. “Mmmm I can see that.” Turning her attention back to Lea. “I have a few things to do then we need to talk again. Ya’ll be at the hospital later?”
Again Rica smiled. “Sweet Thing in there has a bag full of goodies if you are interested.” With that she left.
Lea and Sebastien knocked on Carlos’ door and entered.
Lea smiled, she was glad that Flea was with Carlos and had no doubt that she had not just turned up for breakfast. “Rica said there was goodies in here.”
David held up the bakery bag and Lea smiled. “So you must the Sweet thing she was referring to?”
Again David felt his face get warm and again everyone laughed.
