Detective Constable Krisztina Verebes was one of the latest recruits to the squad and
in DI Cutler’s, opinion had quickly made herself one of the most valuable. At
twenty-eight years old she had only been on the team six months and had already
broken every heart, male and female, in the building.
A stunningly attractive slim brunette it amazed
almost everyone how she was still single, but she was a single woman, which
everyone put down to her ambition to succeed when in fact she was just fussy.
She had never disclosed it to anyone, because she
jealously guarded her private life, but had decided at an early age what she
was looking for in a partner, but she was yet to find them, the result on the
onlooker was to give her an air of the mysterious.
Her role in Steve Cutlers squad was as the
squad’s computer expert even though she couldn’t have looked less like a
computer nerd if she tried.
Krisztina liked Oliver, he made her laugh and feel
sexy all at the same time, and he was kind and thoughtful.
He was tall and muscular and was good looking man
with auburn hair and intense eyes, and he ticked a lot of boxes for her.
She was stunningly attractive slim brunette, so
she was more than a match for him, they were both still single, both
professionals, but she was fussy, and she wasn’t sure if
someone like him had her in his plans for the future.
However, she didn’t think of him as just a man and
she hadn’t felt that way about a man since she was at Police College.
However, that had all ended very badly indeed and
left her totally devastated and she did not want to repeat that mistake and
feel worthless again.
She thought about nipping it in the bud and not
taking a chance with him, but then she thought, “why should she?” why wouldn’t
it succeed?
Aoife certainly thought she should give it a
chance, and she knew him, she said he was a really good person and was sure
there could be a bright future for her and Oliver.
The only fly in the
ointment as far as she was concerned was that she wasn’t really sure how he
felt about her, Aoife hadn’t been any help in that regard, he hadn’t even tried
to kiss her, apart from a peck on the cheek when they parted at the hospital.
She asked herself if
she had wanted him too, and the answer was yes, so she concluded that perhaps
it was time for her to take the initiative.
The Golf event was on
the Sunday of the Halloween weekend and it was an annual event at the Tipton
Park Golf Club and she and her usual golfing partner DC Greg Owens, who was a very good golfer even
though his unathletic posture and gait would indicate otherwise, neither of
them had played Tipton before as it was an exclusive club so they were both
looking forward to it.
It was a beautiful
crisp Autumnal day, no wind and not a cloud in the sky, and she and Greg were
standing by his car when Oliver pulled up.
“Good morning” he said
and shook Greg’s hand and kissed her cheek.
“Well, that’s
encouraging” she thought “but just on the cheek again”
But aloud she just
repeated his greeting as the passenger door opened and a willowy redhead got
out.
“This is Arabella, my
baby sister” Oli said
“Call me Bella” she
said and shook their hands, and Greg was immediately smitten.
All the way to the
club house Oli was giving her Golf tips, her grip, her stance, her swing.
“I wish you’d just
shut up and kiss me” she screamed in her head
“The most important
thing is to relax, don’t tense up” he said
“No, the most
important thing is that you take me in your arms and kiss me” she replied
silently
Even if she’d said it
out loud there wouldn’t have been time to act on it as they were soon at their
destination.
Oli and Krisztina were
the last to tee off in a four ball.
“Don’t worry if you’re
only a novice” he said as they approached the 1st tee “I can help you as we go
around”
“Ok” she said
Kriszsie was the first
to tee off, it was a short dog leg par four, just under 200 yards to the turn
so she selected her 3 wood and took up her position.
“That might be a
little ambitious” Bella said
“Remember to relax
those shoulders” Oli said encouragingly, agreeing with his sister about her
club selection
Krisztina took a
couple of practice swings and then addressed the ball before hitting a crisp
clean drive which sailed straight down the middle of the fairway.
“Whoa” Bella said “I
thought you were a novice”
“I never said that”
Krisztina retorted
“You did say you
played “a little”” Oliver said
“I have only played “a
little” this year because it’s been so busy at work” she said
“You’re a bandit” Oli
said and laughed
By the end of the 17th
Greg and Oli were 4 shots off the pace and Krisztina and Bella were all square.
After 3 shots Bella
was on the green with a 20ft putt remaining and Krisztina was on the apron more
than a hundred feet from the pin.
Bella was supremely
confident as she watched Krisztina chip to within 12 feet of the hole.
Arabella however 3
putted and Krisztina holed her putt to win.
Oliver was delighted,
partly because it gave him ammunition to rib Bella but mainly because he really
liked Krisztina.
When all the scores
were in Krisztina was the highest placed woman and she won the nearest the pin
on the par 3 7th.
There was a great
huddle of bodies at the bar, but she was stood in a quiet corner of the lounge
admiring her little trophy when Oli joined her.
“So, I wasn’t able to
teach you anything today after all” he said
“I was trying to
impress you, and you ended up impressing me”
“That was my
intention” she said
“To impress me?” he
asked
“To get you to notice
me” she replied and he looked puzzled
“You wanted me to
notice you?”
“You have a lot to learn about women” she said
taking a step towards him.
“Maybe you can teach me then” he told her looking into her eyes.
“There’s no maybe about it” She said and leaned her face towards him and
touched her full lips gently to his.
He responded in kind and they were both lost in the
magic of the moment.
As their lips parted they both opened their eyes.
“Would you like me to teach you some more?” she asked smiling.
“That’s a silly question” he replied and wrapped his arms around her waist
pulling her close and their lips met again, but this time there was no
restraint.
Theirs was not the only romance that began at
Tipton Park Golf Club on that Halloween weekend because Greg and Bella also
ended the day kissing.
