158 Valentine’s Date

Aisling wakes and feels a warm arm around her. Smiling she turns and looks at her extremely handsome husband sleeping. Kissing him softly on the lips she goes to get up. He tightened his arm around her not letting her go. 

"where do you think you are going? We are not at home there is nothing urgent except maybe this." He pulls her fully against him. His mouth meeting hers. She melts in his arms. Sinking into the don't bed, relishing in the heat of the moment. As he places kisses softly along her neck making his way down her body. I stop him saying. 

"i am dirty I haven't showered since yesterday morning. As much as I want your lips on me. I want to be clean for you."  he smiled into my eyes and sits up pulling me with him. 

"then let's shower together, you can wash my back." they head to the large tiled shower that has a large ledge in the corner. I get the water ready and step inside. Astila follows me into the shower.  He goes to unclip my hair when I stop him. 

"No don't it's too cold. I won't be able to get it dry. " Astila kisses the base of her neck sending shivers down her back. 

" I have always wanted to wash your hair. There is a salon next to check-in. We can go and have them dry it for you. "kissing her shoulder he undoes to hair. It cascades down nearly to her ankles. He wraps her in his arms and gently moves her under the water. Soaking her hair and body. Aisling closes her 

Eyes as his fingers work the shampoo into her hair. No one has ever washed her hair before. Arching her head back slightly so he can get the soap rinsed out. Astila sees the arch of her neck and leans down to place a kiss on her pulse point. Moaning at the sensation of his lips on her neck she tilts just enough to give him better access to it. As his mouth moves up her neck he is slowly moving her to the ledge in the corner. Bending her over slightly his fingers enter her to tease as he bites her ear. A wave of heat flows to her woman's center and she is instantly wet . Chuckling into her ear he sends spirals of shivers through her hieghting her desire. This day is all about pleasing his woman but it's been so long since they have had any alone time that Astila can't wait he enters her and sighs with feeling complete. 

Awhile later they head down to the salon for the stylist to dry Aisling's hair. Once there the girl took her hair down and was shocked at how long it was. With her sitting in the chair it hit the floor. She looked at her and asked. 

Aisling has never played on a slot machine before and the one she first saw was a Wizard of Oz. She felt drawn to it so sitting there she begins to play. A large pink bubble comes across the screen and a bunch of wilds begin to fill it. The next thing that happens is the lights and a bell starts to flash. Aisling keeps hitting the bet button but nothing is happening. She starts to get up when a gentlemen stops her. 

"miss you can't leave yet. You hit a big win they need to bring you money . " she stares at him then a large smile crosses her face. She just realized that she won big. She grabs her phone and snaps a picture sending it to Astila. By the time he gets back there is a large crowd around Aisling. The casino employee is explaining to her that she hit a fifteen thousand dollar grand jackpot and they would have to give her a check . The security comes over and clears those not playing aside. They ask her if she would like an escort to her room . She looks at them puzzled. They point to a gentlemen watching her too closely for their liking. She laughs at them explaining. 

"there is no need that is my husband he is just waiting for me. I promise you that I will be fine. " They call the security office and ask them to watch the couple closely since so many had been around when she won. Not wanting anyone to bother her. After the check is safely in the safe they finally get to walk outside. Walking along the beach holding hands. Aisling doesn't feel the cold at all. She is so happy to be walking with her husband. It's so tranquil and beautiful here. She looks down and there is a flash in the sand. Bending down she picks up a pendant. It's very beautiful with a rose inside a heart. She turns and shows Astila. Looking around to see if they can find anything else. A cold breeze picks up and Aisling hears a crying . Turning towards the crying she begins to walk towards the sound. There in the dunes is a bag buried with just a piece of the strap sticking up. She sees a child sitting next to it. The child is dressed in a flower girl style dress and has a gash across her forehead. Aisling knows she is dead, she kneels next to the child. Closing her eyes she places her hands on the ground. Whispering. 

" it's alright , I can help you what happened here?" Astila kneels beside her looking at the child. She points to the pendent and to the bag. Touching Astila's hand the child shows him what happened. 

She is on a boat surrounded by many people. There is a wedding taking place. Her mother is getting married. The little girl is running across the deck when the wind blows her hat to close to the edge of the deck. She goes to try to reach it when she falls into the water. Her face hits something sharp and she sinks into the darkness. Her body is washed up during a bad storm that floods the area and is trapped . Astila takes out his phone and calls the police. Not exactly sure how to explain it but he tells them they found something while walking. Aisling begins to dig in the sand trying to find exactly where she is at. Pulling on the strap and moving the sand she finds a hand. When the police arrive they call for the beach to be cleared and begin to clear the area stoping anyone from approaching the scene. The officers question them and Aisling gives them the pendent. She asks them if they would let her know when they find out anything. They walk towards the hotel when she notices that the girl is smiling at her. She knows they have unburied her completely now. Nodding to her they go inside. It's times like this that she really doesn't mind her gift. To be able to bring peace to a lost spirit. To help a mother have closure over a missing child. A few hours later they see the news about the child body and that they located the parents They are getting ready to go to the concert to see one of Aisling's favorite singers. When there is a knock at the door. Opening it they see the officer from earlier with a couple. The woman is clearly the child's mother. She wrapped her arms around Aisling and begins to cry. 

"I understand you are the ones who found my baby. We lost her a few weeks ago on our wedding day. We could not find her after the ceremony. We search everywhere on the yacht and the coast guard looked for signs of her for days. Then a big storm hit and they had to stop looking for her. Thank you for finding her. Though we don't know how she got here or exactly what happened. We are grateful to have found her. " Aisling hugs the woman back. Not knowing how to explain how she would know she just tells her. 

" I'm sure she was to close to the edge of the deck and fell. Possibly she hit something when she fell so she was unable to call out. The storm may have brought her here. She is now found and can be laid to Rest In Peace . There are no words anyone can give that can describe how it must feel to lose a child. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope that by finding her brings you some peace. " the woman nods her head and hugs Aisling again. Aisling debates with herself if she should tell her that she saw her daughter. She has always been seen as a freak because of her gift. Astila takes her hand and nods because the child is standing next to her mommy. Aisling takes a deep breath and asks her.

"if there is one thing you could say to Eliza what would it be?" The woman looks at her puzzled and asks.

"How did you know her name was Eliza? We never said her name."

Aisling takes her hand and tells her .

" When I was on the beach I saw a little girl crying she was dressed in a yellow flower girl dress and had a gash across her face. She was sitting beside the mound of sand where I found her hand. She showed us how she died . The wind blew her hat off and when she went to get it she feel into the water. She hit her head and sank into the ocean. She was never able to call out. I know this must sound crazy to you but she was a very happy little girl. She was excited and happy that you were going to be her Dad. That you along of your son were going to be a family. " 

the woman looks at them and sees that they are sincere. She tells Aisling what she would say 

"first I would thank her for choosing me to be her mom. That she is my greatest joy and my lifesaver. I loved her so much and that I'm sorry that I was not able to protect her that day. I was so preoccupied by the festivities to keep a close watch on her. I miss her so much that I can't sleep or eat for it. " Aisling looks at the little girl and she watches as she wrapped her arms around her mommy. She turns and smiles telling Aisling that mommy is going to have a new baby. Aisling watches them the woman begins to cry harder as she sinks to the ground. Aisling puts her arms around her. She feels Eliza beside them . Eliza kisses her mommy's face and she is gone. 

"Eliza says don't be sad that you are going to have a new baby. She is gone now she has crossed, she crossed happy and felt loved so she will be an angel to watch over you. I'm sorry that you lost such an amazing little girl. " 

the couple thank them again and they leave . Astila pulls his amazing wife into his arms to just hold her till she is calm and ready to continue their evening.
