• Heaven & Hell   First Day Problems

  Nick pulled Gabriel back into the hall, “what the hell was all that about?” His voice was low, not wanting Millie to hear.Gabriel shook his head, “I’ve no idea, other than someone wants to meet us, someone that Amelia doesn’t want us to meet.”Nick pushed both his hands through his hair. He wasn’t expecting any kind of trouble from Amelia. It was frustrating when all he wanted to do was get to know her and enjoy her company and more if he could.“What the fuck! What do we do now?”“I’ll talk to her, you’ll just scare her to death.”Gabriel could see the frustration etched on Nick’s face and he smiled. He knew Nick expected everything to go his way, their way, and if it didn’t, he would just batter the opposition down until he got his way.Nick shrugged, “Gets results though.”

• Heaven & Hell   An Unfamiliar World

  Waving her hands in front of her, and blowing her breath upwards to dispel the blushing heat from her face, Millie went back to the kitchen feeling relieved that she was alone in the house. She needed time to recover from her late start, and the news of the forefeit jar. She blushed scarlet again as she remembered what Nick had said‘specifically interact with others’.Bloody hell that could mean anything! These two would have her doing many indescribable and very naughty things, and she’d waffled on about making cakes and such.OMG! She was such an idiot! No wonder they were laughing at her! She ran back into her room and changed to clothes she could clean in, she had wanted to give a wonderful impression this morning by at least looking efficient but she&

  Amelia Ashton was havingone of those days.She was dragging her wheeled suitcase up the pea gravelled drive of her new employer, which was rather more difficult than she ever imagined.Then she had to fight with her umbrella in the gale force wind and then the teeming rain, which had poureddown as if God was pouring a bucket of water directly over her which had ruined her long glossy hairfrizzing it up and turning it into a rats nest within five seconds of getting out of the cab.The last straw had been the stupid pea gravel that got stuck in the wheels of her case and stopped dead almost dragging her arm out of the socket. Her hand slipped off the handle and she only just saved herself from face planting on the drive. That was all she needed, to be picking gravel from her chin in front of her new employer.Taking a took a deep calming breath “Keep c

  Kensington LondonGabriel awoke, yawning and stretching. He untangled his legs from his partner’s trying not to wake him. Gabriel liked this early morning time on his own. He stretched his legs to the colder part of the bed and turned his head to look at the clock on the bedside table. Not even six o’clock yet. was it too early to make a cup of tea? He’d bring it back to bed and read the papers on his iPad until Nick dragged himself from his dreams.Slipping from the warmth of the bed, reached for the dark blue robe laying on the grey velvet chaise, slipped it on and crept out of the room. It was still dark, and he flipped the kitchen light switch on and then wished that he hadn’t.Fuck, when did it get this bad? it seemed like every single piece o

• Heaven & Hell   The Girl

  Gabriel Swann walked down the stairs from the studios of Cawlin FM with a grin on his face. It had been good to see Jake Nankivill again. He’d known Jake even longer than he’d known Nick. They had been to nursery school together, and his abiding memory of that was fighting over the coloured toy record player. It appeared Jake had known what he wanted to do for a career even then.“How was that Dim?” he asked of his drum tech and escort for the day“Yeah that was good, you said everything you were supposed to about the film and the music, and Jake is good at interviewing, at least he knows not to ask personal questions unlike that other dimwit at SoGood FM, Nick looked like he wanted to strangle that idiot when he asked about you and his home life.”Gabriel shrugged “Always one.”“You ready to sign your

Now don’t forget the sandcastle competition this afternoon, yours truly and one or two extra special guests will be out and about judging them at around two this afternoon. We have some amazing prizes for the winners. Now I can see from the studio window that the surf is up, so all you surfer dudes take care out there. This is Jake Nankivil giving you fun in the sun from Radio Cawlin FM.” The local radio station blared out from the back of the postcard and gift shack on the front of Cawlin Cove’s South Beach, and after two weeks of mugginess, torrential rain and thunderstorms the weather now returned to blistering heat with cloudless skies.Millie studied the postcards, edging under the awning to get out
