Downshire Diary – (74) The Ginger Amazonian Conclusion

(Part 01)

Downshire is a relatively small English county but like a pocket battleship it packs a lot in, a short but beautiful coastline, a channel port, the Ancient forests of Dancingdean and Pepperstock, the craggy ridges and manmade lakes of the Pepperstock Hills National Park, the rolling hills of the Downshire Downs, the beautiful Finchbottom Vale and farm land as far as the eye can see from the Trotwood’s and the Grace’s in the south to the home of the Downshire Light infantry, Nettlefield, and their affluent neighbour’s, Roespring and Tipton but our story begins considerably further south in the Finchbottom Vale although the players in this tale come from every corner of the county.

A group of University friends were camping at the Eastern end of the Finchbottom Vale, on the Maxlins camp site in Sharpinghead that was once a working railway station before it fell afoul of Dr Beeching and his draconian cuts.
The campsite was attached to Maxlin’s Holiday Camp and although the campgrounds were nothing to do with Maxlin’s, all those attending did have day passes to use some of the amenities.

They were just spending a week relaxing before they returned to Abbottsford University for their 3rd year.
One of them was Sean Hallows who had gone to Maxlins with his long term girlfriend Daisy.
He was a rather ordinary looking lad, a bit of a bean pole with scruffy blonde hair and a bad complexion, the only remarkable thing about him was his heart.

He had to return to his tent one morning after breakfast because he had forgotten his phone.
“Get my sunnies while youre there” his girlfriend Daisy said
“Ok” he retorted and set off at pace.
They were about ten minutes walk frrom the food hall but with his great long strides he did it in five and he went to Daisy’s tent first and went inside without hesitation as he knew where she kept her sun glasses.
But as soon as he got inside he stopped dead in his tracks as her best friend Katie Bell was still in the tent, though not still in her sleeping bag, in fact she wasn’t in very much at all really.
She was kneeling down, facing the flaps, pulling a T-shirt over her head, apart from that she was only wearing her underwear.
Sean stood motionless by the opening spellbound by the vision of the girl he had been in love with for almost a year.
She was a big Ginger Amazon of a girl almost as tall as he was, long limbed, busty and beautiful, well he certainly thought so, which was why when he came upon her in a state of near undress he couldn’t take his eyes off her, and there was a lot of her to look at.
Katie hadn’t noticed him at first as her long ginger locks had fallen across her face but when she did she made no attempt to cover herself and chose instead to glare at him.
In utter embarassment and uttering appologies he retreated to his own tent red faced but she pursued him and as it was her spectacular nakedness that had caused his blushing she quizzed him over his peeping when he all but confessed the truth to her about his love of her and then they lay in his tent and shared a kiss that they had both longed for over the previous year.

The following couple of days there was a little awkwardness between them, but not because they felt guilty for what they did, the kiss was electrifying, so the reason for the awkwardness was simply that they wanted to do it again although neither of them actualy knew how the other one felt.
However on the third day while most of the group were on a day trip to Pepperstock Castle they spent the day in Katie’s tent where they spent much of the day in eachothers arms.
“Daisy is so lucky” she sighed as she lay with her head on his chest.
“I don’t think she would agree” he replied as she kissed his chest
“Why?”
“She doesn’t really like kissing and cuddling or sex for that matter” he explained
“What?” she asked incredulously as her lips moved to his neck.
“Daisy doesn’t really like it” he repeated
“You mean she doesn’t like this?” She asked as she kissed from his neck across his cheek to his mouth.
“She’s not as enthuiastic about it as you” he said as she returned her lips to his neck
“What a waste” Katie said

After that afternoon canoodling in her tent they only had one more chance to embrace when they managed half an hour for a kiss in the
disabled toilet.

And following the holiday they went their separate ways for the remainder of the summer break and when they got back to Abbottsford for their final year the awkwardness between Katie and Sean returned.
The problem was, that Katie, Daisy and Sean all lived in the same house along with three other friends.
It was an old Victorian house with the rooms spread over three floors, Katie and Daisy had rooms on the ground floor while Sean’s was on the top floor, so it was very difficult for him to either get to his room or to Daisy’s without bumping into Katie.
Not that he didn’t like seeing her, he did, very much, but being so close and not being able to embrace was torture.
But after there last kiss at Maxlins camp site they both agreed that they should call a halt to the affair before it went too far as it wasn’t fair on Daisy.

However things suddenly changed one day in October when as she walked out of her room towards the bathroom Katie saw Daisy rush past and then heard the front door slam.

At the same moment Sean slipped out of Daisy’s room into the hall and to his surprise he met Katie coming the other way, wrapped in a towel.
He did a double take, thinking “where the hell did she come from”, he thought Daisy and he had the house to themselves.
Katie didn’t speak at first she just looked at him before she said accusingly
“Did you just upset Daisy?”
“Not exactly” he replied
“Then what did you do?” she asked
“I didn’t do anything” he said
“Well something upset her” she pointed out
“Well it wasn’t me” Sean said
“Well if you didn’t upset her then what’s got into the silly cow” Katie snapped
“That’s not a very nice thing to say about your friend” he said reproachfully
“I know” she admitted “I’m just jealous that she’s your girlfriend”
“Ah” he uttered
“If I was really being mean I would point out that I’m prettier than she is and that I like snogging” she reiterated
“Just a bit” he said
“Just a bit, just a bit” she repeated disbelievingly
“In fact I love it” she added and kissed him and afterwards she said.
“I’m sorry, I know we said it had to stop, but I couldn’t resist”

“I’m sorry, I know we said it had to stop, but I couldn’t resist”
“You won’t hear me complain” he remarked
“It’s a shame it’s not the time for Katie to get Daisy’s fellas lips” she said wistfully looking into his eyes
“They’re not hers” he said
“What do you mean?” Katie asked
“They’re not Daisy’s lips” Sean said
“They’re more hers than mine” Katie pointed out
“Not anymore they’re not”
“What do you mean?” she asked
“She’s dumped me” he said
“Why?” she asked with alarm “Was it because of us?”
“No” he replied “it turns out she’s in love with someone else”
“My God who?” she asked
“India”
“India?” she asked “India, who went on holiday with us?”
“Yes”
“The little mousy girl with the wonky eye?” she asked
“Yes that India” he confirmed
“You mean Daisy’s a Les?” Katie asked indelicately
“Yes” he replied “which kind of explains why she didn’t like sex much”
“She’s a Les?” Katie repeated
“Apparently so”
“I wonder why she never tried anything with me” she mused
“Go figure” he retorted
“I know it’s unfathomable” she said with a frown
“Never mind that just ponder the question, if Daisy is a lesbian and she’s dumped me then….” He said and she just looked blankly at him still wearing the frown and then suddenly she exclaimed
“Oh” she exclaimed and the frown faded to be replaced with smile
“So does this mean that you’re mine now?”
“Only if you want me” he replied
“All for me” she said “and no sharing”
“That’s the general idea” Sean said
“Cool” Katie said
“Is that a yes then?” he asked
“I’ll let you know after I’ve had a kiss”
She replied
“Well I don’t think I want to just on a maybe” he said
“There’s no maybe about it” she confessed “You know I want you”
“Good” he said “then I’m all yours”
“And only mine?” she asked
“And only yours” he agreed
“Goody” she said “Now it’s time for Katie Bell to kiss her boyfriend”
