************************************************************************************

The following two weeks in Australia proved to be a bonding experience between Josh and Louisa and her family. Louisa took him all around Melbourne and up to Queensland and Sydney for weekend trips to the theme parks and all the typical tourist areas. Josh was like a little kid in a lolly shop and went mad buying all his sons giant stuffed toys and treat bags from every destination they went to and as a result by the time they returned to Melbourne to celebrate Louisa’s birthday he had to buy another two suitcases and FedEx’ed both of them home to New York.

‘Guess who I saw in town today?’ Jennifer said as she drove Josh and Louisa home from the airport upon their return from the Gold Coast.

‘Barrack Obama’ Louisa said with a grin as she rummaged through her bag of goodies.

Josh snorted.

‘Yeah him too’ Jennifer said dryly rolling her eyes ‘No your Friend Charlotte and her bloke Josh’

‘They’re still in town?’ Louisa said in surprise ‘I thought they’d be in New Zealand ahead of Josh’s shows there’

‘Nah Charlotte said she and Josh decided to stay in Oz a little longer and fly to Auckland the day before the first show because they don’t need to be there til then at the latest Jennifer said ‘they’re in Melbourne for another two days so I invited them for your birthday dinner Friday night I hope you don’t mind’

‘Hell no the more the merrier!’ Louisa said happily ‘I didn’t think I’d have a chance to catch up with either of them til Josh starts the U.S tour at the beginning of May. Char got me V.I.P tickets and a backstage pass for the last Radio City Music Hall show so I’m going to wait til then’

‘Fancy’

‘Ah yeah it’s a bonus of having your best friend dating the hottest thing in the music business at the moment’ Louisa said with a grin.

‘Thing?’ Josh said from the backseat ‘Not sure if Groban would appreciate being described as a ‘thing’’

‘Oh he wouldn’t care Josh is the most easy going bloke I’ve ever met’ Louisa said as they turned into Sanford Drive.

‘And I’m not?’

‘Yeah you are too’ Louisa said with a grin winking at him in the mirror of her sun visor.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

The following afternoon while Josh was relaxing on the back porch reading a True Crime biography Louisa approached him and jingled the keys to her Mum’s Mercedes.

‘Grab the Strad we’re going out’ she said with a wide grin.

‘You’re up to something’ Josh said dryly dog earing the page he was reading and looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

‘I may or may not be I choose not to comment on that on the grounds I may incriminate myself’ Louisa said with a grin leaning down and kissing the top of his head ‘trust me you’ll like where we’re going’

‘And where’s that?’

‘Melbourne University’ Louisa said ‘I’m going to introduce you to Professor McAllister my University violin tutor. He’s expecting me but not you I thought I might spring a surprise on him and we could all get together and jam. You haven’t picked up the Strad since before we went away to the Gold Coast so I thought you might like this trip to work your fingers on the fingerboard again’

Josh gave her a lascivious grin.
‘My fingers have been getting quite a bit of a work out these last few days even without the Strad’ he said cheekily getting to his feet and patting Louisa on the bum ‘don’t you agree?’

‘I meant in the musical sense you deviant’ Louisa said dryly playfully smacking his hand away from her cleavage ‘there’s plenty of time for us to make love when we get to bed tonight. Though after our enthusiastic round this morning I’m surprised you have the energy left’

‘I always have the energy for you sweetheart’ Josh said ‘even if I’m exhausted I have the energy for you. It’s like always having a bit of room for dessert’

‘And you always ‘have room for desert’ don’t you?’ Louisa said dryly hooking her fingers in the air as they made their way inside.

‘That is totally rhetorical’

Josh collected the Strad and soon he and Louisa were on their way to Melbourne University.

‘So this guy we’re going to visit was a big influence on you then?’ he asked in interest.

‘Oh yeah Mr Mac was an influence on a lot of people’ Louisa said resting a hand over his which rested on her thigh ‘his theory is music played from whatever instrument lifts the soul and makes one happier, a natural anti-depressant if you will. He always told me he was never unhappy when playing his violin and you know neither am I though I’ve always felt happy when I pick up a violin long before I met Mr Mac. He was the one who encouraged me and Charlie to take up a recording career. Neither of us did. The closest either of us has come to recording anything is when Charlie composed the strings score for Hidden Away’

‘Well apart from seeing her play with Josh at the Grammys I don’t know much about her skill but with you I think you should definitely record something’ Josh said ‘especially anything by Paganini you’re amazing you are’

‘Ah you’re just saying that because I’m your girlfriend’ Louisa said going pink.

‘No I am not’ Josh said emphatically ‘if I hated your guts I would still say you ought to record an album. I know people at Sony Classical I could get them to listen to you play’

‘No’ Louisa said ‘if I decide to record anything I’ll do it under my own steam and scout record labels myself. I don’t want people to give me an opportunity just because you’re my boyfriend’

‘The people I know aren’t like that Louie really they’re not’ Josh said ‘they’ll tell you straight up if you’re good enough to lay an album down. At the very least lay down the twenty fourth Caprice for me on my next album’

‘I dunno if I’m that good J’

Josh slapped his forehead in exasperation.
‘Jesus Christ woman you frustrate the living shit out me sometime you know that?’ he said affectionately ‘I’ve been playing the violin for thirty eight years don’t you think I ought to know what constitutes someone good enough to record an album? I don’t want to sound up my self but who else is going to tell you you’re good enough? Menhuin?’

‘He’s dead’ Louisa said with a snort of laughter.

‘Oh you know full well what I mean’ Josh said rolling his eyes ‘I showed Perlman the video of you playing the Caprice at the Conservatorium recital and he’s just as impressed with you as I am. And he’s the greatest violinist alive today and in my opinion second only to Menuhin. If you don’t believe me believe Itzhak Perlman he’s a legend even you’ve got to admit that, you’ve said so before’

‘Itzhak Perlman reckons I should record?’ Louisa asked in surprise momentarily taking her eyes off the road.

‘No he didn’t say so because I didn’t ask him if he thought you should and he's not that sort of person he doesn’t blow smoke up the ass of anyone who’s material he hears’

‘So you’re blowing smoke up my arse?’

‘No! If your old professor and I think you should record an album don’t you think you ought to at least consider it?’ Josh said with a raised eyebrow ‘get together with Charlotte and form a dues two violins, two violas or a violin and viola. You could make the viola mainstream. You could be the female equivalent of David Garrett, because I know your preferred style is pops music like he records do that and you could end up a millionaire. And independent one’

‘Making money from the violin is not my main priority in life J’ Louisa said ‘I’m comfortable financially, personally and professionally. I want to get married and have a family one day and if I recorded an album and got as popular as you reckon I would be would mean tours and time away from those I love. My passion just isn’t that big for the music business. Don’t get me wrong I love playing the violin and viola nothing makes me happier but I’d rather do it for fun and not for my supper’

‘Well you know I’d never force you into anything but please give it some consideration’ Josh said rubbing her thigh ‘I’ve got a recital tour later in the year be my guest’

‘Oh fucking hell J the crowds you get at your gigs are bigger than they were at the Conservatorium’ Louisa said turning right at a busy intersection ‘I would shit my pants at a crowd that size’

‘Oh of course you would’ Josh said dryly ‘no you wouldn’t’

‘Well I’ll consider it’ Louisa said after a long silence ‘you’re a total and utter arsehole Joshua Bell you know that? Before I met you I jammed on the violin for fun now you’re getting me to seriously a recording career gaaaaaah! If I didn’t love you so much I would bust your balls’

Josh laughed heartily
‘I’m a crafty bastard aren’t I?’ he said gleefully rubbing his hands together.

‘You’re more cunning than a fox in a damn hen house’ Louisa said dryly as the main campus of Melbourne University came into view.

‘You know Mom always used to tell me that’ Josh said with a grin.

‘You mean she still doesn’t?’ Louisa said in sarcastic surprise.

‘I’m not home often enough’

Five minutes later Louisa drove into the main car park of Melbourne University and parked underneath the huge canopy of an old plane tree. She cut the engine then got out retrieving her violin and violin from the boot.

‘The acoustics of Professor Mac’s practice room are divine’ she said as Josh slung the Strad over his shoulder ‘I used to play in there all the time outside lessons just for a bit of fun. This room will make the Strad sound like Paganini himself is playing it’

Josh raised an eyebrow

‘I’m serious’ Louisa said as they walked into the nearest building labelled ‘Music and Performing Arts Faculty’ ‘Makes a banjo sound mellow’

‘You’ve rocked out on a banjo then have you?’

‘Ha ha’

Louisa took Josh deep into the Music faculty and up three floors past the auditorium and voice, procession, keyboard, woodwind and Bass departments til they ended up in front of an office door from which behind emanated the high trill of a violin.

‘That’s Mr Mac’ Louisa said lifting a fist and knocking on the glass ‘I’d recognize the sound of his violin anywhere’

The sound of the violin stopped and a shuffling stride could be heard then the door opened. A middle aged short muscular man dressed in smart trousers and a pale blue shirt undone slightly at the collar stood there with a dark brown almost black violin in his hands.

‘Louie Riminton darling fantastic to see you!’ he exclaimed getting up on his toes to hug Louisa ‘you’re looking radiant darling come in come in!’

‘Oh it’s so good to see you!’ Louisa said returning the hug ‘how’s Mrs Mac?’

‘Oh she’s brilliant love she’s downstairs in the woodwind department today...who’s’ thi....’

Mr Mac’s face mouth fell open and he stared at Josh incredulously his face awash with recognition.

‘Mr Mac I’d like to introduce to you my very special friend and partner Joshua Bell’ Louisa said ‘he’s visiting Australia with me til we go home Sunday night. J this is in my opinion the greatest violin tutor in Australia Peter McAllister’

Mr Mac shook Josh’s hand enthusiastically.
‘Wonderful to meet you Joshua you need no introduction of course’ he said brightly.

‘Please call me Josh’ Josh said ‘only my Mom calls me Joshua these days’

‘Of course and please call me Peter’

‘Josh and I brought our instruments with us Mr Mac how about we go to the practice room and have a bit of a jam?’ Louisa suggested ‘Josh brought the Strad with him’

‘You brought the Strad with you?’ Professor McAllister asked incredulously ‘the Huberman Strad?’

‘It’s the only one I own Sir’ Josh said with a chuckle.

‘Come through come through we’ll go to the practice room!’ Peter said enthusiastically tucking his violin under his arm and chivvying them out the door ‘come!’

Josh and Louisa followed Mr Mac Down the hallway and into a spacious sun drenched practice room floored with wooden floorboards and decorated with various Violin and Viola pictures and memorabilia. A jet black Yamaha baby grand piano stood near the front of the room between the front of a whiteboard a dozen chairs and tables.

‘Okay tune up I’ll just open the windows up it’s a bit stuffy in here’ Mr Mac said striding over to the nearest window.

Louisa took her violin out of its case and began tuning it. Josh did the same with the Strad and began playing around with Flight of the Bumblebee as Mr Mac went around the spacious room opening the doors.

‘Ah Flight of the Bumblebee’ he said to Josh upon returning to the piano upon which he had laid his own violin ‘one of your favourite pieces?’

‘Not in particular my fondness at the moment lies in Dvorak’ Josh said ‘specifically Song to the Moon, Louie and I played it together in a violin viola duet at the Conservatorium recital back in February’

‘Ah yes I remember getting the video email from young Charlie Preston’ Mr Mac said reminiscently as Louisa tried Flight of the Bumblebee at a faster pace ‘quite an impressive job you two did. I haven’t seen Louie perform like that since her leaving examinations’

‘What did you play then?’ Josh asked her.

‘Uhm I think My Heart Will Go On, for the modern arrangement, Paganini’s thirteenth Caprice for the tradition arrangement and this piece of crap that a composing student submitted for the original arrangement. It was such a load of shit I can’t even remember what the title was’

‘Razzle Dazzle’ Mr Mac said in amusement ‘that student didn’t get high marks for title naming but Louie did perform it admirably enough to get a distinction in her exam’

‘I would rather have done a bluegrass arrangement of Wheels on the Bus’ Louisa said dryly adjusting the G string fine tuner and plucking it ‘alright what should we play? Something familiar?’

‘Why don’t we try Song to the Moon together?’ Peter suggested ‘I know you two must be sick of it by now but it’s a good quick easy song to start off with’

‘We’re not sick of it’ Josh said adjusting the Strad on his shoulder ‘it’s a rather special song and I haven’t gotten sick of it yet’

Louisa went pink as Josh winked at her.

‘Alright Louie you lead off and Josh and I will join in alright?’

Louisa lifted up her bow.
‘Right away Mr Mac!’

**********************************************************************************************************************************

For two hours Josh joined Louisa and her old professor in an enthusiastic and lively jam and discussion session which only ended when Professor McAllister stared incredulously at his watch.

‘Hells bells you two it’s quarter to six!’ he exclaimed ‘we better get going or we’ll be locked inside the faculty ‘Mrs Mac will ring me soon wondering where I am!’

‘Actually we’ll probably get the same from Mum and Dad too’ Louisa said tucking her viola under her arm ‘thanks so much for the visit Mr Mac I’ve had the best fun’

‘Me too darling you drop by anytime you’re in town won’t you?’

‘Of course’

‘And thank you Josh for letting me play the Strad I can go to my grave happy I played a Strad now’ Peter said shaking Josh’s hand enthusiastically ‘I bet you don’t often let people play it’

‘No sir after my sister and Louie you’re the only other one’

‘Well it was certainly a memorable experience. Though it’s an instrument much more suited to the hands of you and Louie violins match themselves to people and we didn’t quite click lovely sound but it’s only going to have to be a musical fling I’m afraid’

Louisa snorted as she put away her viola.
‘That’s what Rachel his sister says every time she plays it too’ she said knotting the silk bag she kept her viola in ‘though I suspect that has more to do with the fact she’s a violist not a violinist’

‘Possibly dear’

‘Yeah Rachel was much more comfortable when picking up my instruments than the Strad’ Louisa said zipping up her viola case as Josh packed away the Strad ‘she said they had a different vibe to the Stad’

‘To her they probably felt that way dear you know I taught you right form the beginning every instrument has a soul it’s just got to be put into the hands of the right artist to bring out the best. That is Josh is at home with the Strad and you’re at home with your Guarneri. Some people feel at home with a cheap kindling student piece others are more suited to a Stradivarius or a Guarneri different horses for different courses’

‘Well it was great to meet you Peter, I plan on coming back to Australia again so maybe next time I’m here we can jam again’ Josh said holding out his hand.

Professor McAllister shook Josh’s hand enthusiastically.
‘I look forward to it’ he said brightly ‘good meeting you’

Louisa zipped up her viola case and slung it over her shoulder.
‘I’ll be on touch Mr Mac the Conservatorium want me to come back to perform at their recitals in the future so I’ll email you the vision’ she said slipping her hand into Josh’s ‘you take care alright?’

‘You too darling’

Moments later Josh and Louisa left the practice room and began making their way downstairs to the car park.
‘So did you have fun?’ Louisa asked slipping an arm around his waist as they waited for the lift.

Josh pressed a kiss to her temple.
‘I did’ he said ‘very much. He never stops teaching does he? Even though you left his tutelage seven years ago. He was picking you up on your posture and bow grasp every five minutes’

Louisa rolled her eyes.
‘I know’ she said dryly ‘posture and bow grasp has always been by problem. All throughout Uni and even when I first started learning my teachers would always tell me to stand up straight project the sound of the instrument lah di friggin’ dah. Even Mark does it. At least once every lesson we have he tells me to stand up straight and square my shoulders’

‘Well isn’t that telling you something?’ Josh said as the lift arrived ‘maybe you should stand up square your shoulders and project your instrument’

Louisa rolled her eyes.
‘Shut up’ she said striding into the lift ‘you’ll be lucky to get even a snog if you keep up that crap’

‘I never notice a problem with your posture when we jam’ Josh said with a grin as the lift began going down.

‘You have a dirty smile on your face Joshua Bell and I know full well what you mean by jamming’ Louisa said dryly.

Josh chuckled.
‘Well there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your posture in bed’ he said ‘I agree with Peter and Mark thought you could do with standing a little straighter when you play but overall it’s not a huge issue’

Louisa squeezed his hand.
‘You’re not just kissing my butt?’ she said with a giggle.

Josh wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pressed a kiss to her lips.
‘Nope I don’t kiss your butt’ he said softly ‘you know that’

**********************************************************************************************************************************

On Saturday night the night before Josh and Louisa were to return to New York was Louisa’s thirty first birthday. Louisa and Freidrich came down from Sydney again to celebrate and Leisl took her sister into the city for a day at the spa and a shopping spree while the men kept themselves amused by travelling to Royal Melbourne golf course for a round of golf.

‘So tell me’ Leisl said as they lay down for a Chinese massage ‘how’s it been since Easter?’

‘How what has been since Easter?’ Louisa asked knowing full well what her sister meant.

Leisl groaned.
‘Oh don’t play dumb Louie you know full well what I mean’ she said dryly ‘the sex honey have you been getting it?’

Louisa giggled.
‘None of your damn business’ she said with a snort.

‘Oh come on Louie you’re my girl and you go home tomorrow until Christmas eight months away I need to know this sort of information!’ Leisl pleaded ‘at least let me know you’re having the best time of your life out here!’

‘That much I can tell you’ Louisa said wincing as the masseuse kneaded a particularly achy spot on her lower back ‘and if you must know yes I am getting it. Every morning and usually every night’

Leisl giggled.
‘So he woke you up this morning with a good shag?’ she said.

‘Oh yeah we took time too’ Louisa said ‘it was wonderful Leisl it really was I came so many times I lost count. And J and I were late to breakfast and you could tell Mum and Dad knew what we were up to

Leisl let out a great snort of laughter.
‘I bet they did’ she said ‘so he held off huh?’

‘Yeah he was more concerned with getting me off than getting off himself’ Louisa said ‘he really is considerate Leis. Every time we make love it’s like I’m the only person in the world that matters. I feel truly loved now really it’s wonderful’

‘I’m glad you’ve found him Louie he’s healed you’ Leisl said in a thick voice ‘he’s the one for you I’m sure of it’

‘I think he is too Leis just got to wait and see how we continue on. But I tell you one thing I can definitely see him being in my life long term’

‘Good so what’s he up to today while I’ve stolen you away?’

‘He’s at Royal Melbourne with Dad, Kurt and Fred playing a round of golf’ Louisa said as the masseuse kneaded the tension out of her muscles ‘he really likes getting out on the fairways and hasn’t had much opportunity to do it this year with his performing and teaching schedule so I made him take up Dad’s invitation so we could have a girlie day out’

‘I think it’s romantic he was reluctant to go’ Leisl said with a grin ‘he’s so in love with you it makes me swoon’

‘Mum told me the same thing last night’ Louisa said with a sigh ‘even Dad’s noticed now much Josh is into me’

‘You’d have to be a pure unadulterated idiot not to see how bad Josh has it for you’ Leisl said ‘he’s always stroking your hair, massaging your neck, holding your hand or kissing you. I think it’s sweet. I only wish you had met him ten years ago’

Louisa sighed.
‘Yeah I wish I had met him back then too’ she said ‘but as J says to me all the time it’s better late than never and the best things come to those who wait’

‘Hmm to on top of being a hot sexy violinist with the loving skills of a porn star he’s also a philosopher’ Leisl said with a giggle ‘sounds like the perfect man’

‘He is Leis he is’

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Right on quarter to six Louisa and Leisl arrived back at Collier House their hair and nails done all their body hair waxed, their hair cut and styled and their arms bulging with bags of their new purchases. Josh cast an appraising eye over her and wolf whistled when Louisa walked inside her waist length hair bouncing with newly styled sausage curls and blonde highlights.

‘Looking good’ he said dropping a kiss on her forehead ‘how was your day?’

‘Really girly Leis and I had a great time’ Louisa said going to the fridge and retrieving a can of coke ‘how did Golf go did you win?’

‘He didn’t just win he did us up the Khyber pass’ Kurt said dryly coming into the kitchen ‘ten shots clear four birdies and two eagles, lucky bastard’

‘Hey I was lucky’ Josh said in amusement ‘so sue me’

‘Nah I’m not going to sue you Bell I’m just not going to play Golf with you ever again, not in a hundred million years’ Kurt said.

‘You are a sore loser Kurt Riminton’ Louisa said hugging her brother ‘I’d play again. Do you forever want J to have one over on you or do you want to try and regain some of your manly pride?’

Leisl let out a great snort of laughter.
‘You’ve just challenged him Louie’ she said with a grin as she rummaged through her purchases.

‘Hey I’m always up for another round if I have a free spot in my schedule’ Josh said with a chuckle ‘count me in when you wish to challenge me again’

‘You’re on Bell’ Kurt said ‘you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into’

‘Oh I reckon he might’ Leisl said dryly ‘come on Louie time to go upstairs we have to get ready to go out. You want to look smoking don’t you?’

‘She already does’ Josh said with a grin.

‘Bell if Louie dressed in a garbage bag you’d think she looks smoking hot’ Kurt said dryly rolling his eyes.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Leisl immediately pulled Louisa upstairs and the two women began getting ready for the night out at Luigi’s an upmarket Italian restaurant in the centre of Melbourne.

‘Josh is going to go harder than concrete when he sees you in that doll’ Leisl said as Louisa hung up her brand new floor length dark purple one shouldered dress on the back of the spare bedroom door ‘that dress looked gorgeous on you in the shop and once you’re all done up you’ll look even better’

‘Oh don’t be so crass’ Louisa said going bright pink.

‘I’m serious that dress is the dress you should wear whenever you and Josh go somewhere fancy’ Leisl said earnestly ‘it accentuates all your curves without making you look slutty and is feminine without being sickeningly girly. It’s THE perfect piece for you’

‘Ya think so?’

‘Hell yes and with those silver strappy sandals you picked out you’ll complete the picture and Josh will nail you like a carpenter when you two get back behind closed doors’

Louisa giggled.
‘I think that will happen anyway’ she said with a grin ‘he’s definitely got a nail gun in his pants’

Leisl made vomiting noises.
‘Oh gross too much information honey too much information!’ she said dryly as Louisa fell about laughing ‘c’mon let’s get ready I want to see Josh’s reaction when he sees you all done up

**********************************************************************************************************************************

An hour later Leisl led Louisa downstairs where everyone instantly admired Louisa’s dress and image.

‘Wow baby sis you’re looking hot’ Fred said touching Louisa’s arm ‘ow that hurt’

Louisa rolled her eyes.
‘Oh ha ha’ she said dryly turning to Josh ‘well what do you think?’

Josh flashed her a smile that lit up his whole face.
‘Beautiful’ was all he said holding out his arm ‘shall we go?’

‘Okay Louie you and Josh go in my car I’ll ride with Mum and Dad’ Kurt said giving his sisters the keys to his Lexus ‘we’ll see you at the restaurant alright?’

‘Sure’

‘And don’t go heavy on the gas last time you drove my car I got a speeding fine’

Josh snorted as Louisa rolled her eyes.
‘Really?’ he said in amusement.

‘Yes but I paid it’ Louisa said dryly ‘not my fault that out of all the cars in the family every car you’ve had has had the best acceleration. I want to take it this one the Dukes Highway and really let it rip one day’

‘Never in a million years will let you do that’ Kurt said dryly hugging his sister ‘I love you Louie but that car is my baby you’re lucky to drive it now’

‘Yeah yeah whatever’

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Soon Louisa and Josh were making their way to nearby South Yarra. Josh spent the entire time in the car absentmindedly stroking Louisa’s leg and watching her drive.

‘You’re staring at me’ Louisa said in amusement as the entered the outskirts of South Yarra and paused at a red light.

‘No I’m looking at you’ Josh corrected her tucking a stray bang of hair behind her ear ‘you’re worthy of being constantly looked at’

Louisa smiled.
‘You know just how to make me feel good about myself don’t you?’ she said softly ‘careful or I might get a big head’

‘Oh I’m sure I could find a way to deflate it’ Josh said with a chuckle as he squeezed her thigh ‘I got you squirming and muttering unintelligible crap when we woke up this morning’

‘That’s because you had your head between my legs and were going down on me!’ Louisa exclaimed ‘you’re a bloody legend when it comes to oral sex Joshua Bell’

‘Just oral sex?’ Josh said with a great snort of laughter.

‘Oh you’re an arrogant arse Joshua Bell’ Louisa said with a giggle patting his knee ‘you know you’re good in bed. That’s one thing you should be arrogantly proud of’

‘I am sweetheart I am’

Shortly before seven PM Louisa pulled into a multi storied car park in a side street of South Yarra not far from the restaurant she and Josh were to dine at and collected a ticket. She quickly found a park on the second floor and cut the engine.

‘Shell we go and dine m’lady?’ Josh joked holding out an arm as they exited the car.

Louisa giggled.
‘You’re a goof off’ she said with a grin taking his arm you don’t know where we’re going’

Josh stopped in his tracks and gently pressed his lips to Louisa’s. She opened her mouth and responded enthusiastically.
‘I love you’ he whispered nibbling on her bottom lip ‘you’re going to have a great night tonight I promise’

‘Oh and why’s that?’ Louisa asked with a giggle ‘do you have a surprise?’

‘If I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise would it?’ Josh said with a grin ‘c’mon let’s meet the others’

The couple left the car park and made their way into the middle of South Yarra. They arrived at Luigi’s at ten past seven and were immediately shown to their table. Happily Louisa saw that Josh and Charlotte had already arrived.

‘Happy birthday bestie!’ Charlotte exclaimed hugging Louisa fiercely ‘looking brilliant where’d you get the dress?’

‘David Jones’ Louisa said sitting down ‘Leis took me on a shopping spree today bought my shoes, dress and paid for a whole day at a spa while J was out playing golf with Dad, Fred and Kurt. It was the last one on the shelf’

‘You ought to wear that to the next conservatorium recital at the end of the month’

‘Nah it’s too good for that’ Louisa said ‘anyway the next recital is a pops one and there’s no need to dress up its casual all the way. Even the orchestra are dressing down according to Mark. Will you and George be able to come?’

‘Sure I’m only working half time at the office til the end of Josh’s tour so my timetable is a lot freer I can rearrange times easily. What are you performing this time?’

‘A Lady Gaga medley’ Louisa said with a grin ‘Bad Romance, Poker Face and Paparazzi’

Charlotte let out a great snort of laughter.
‘Do you need an accompanying dancer?’ she asked with a giggle lacing her fingers through her Josh’s ‘because I know someone who’s rather adept at busting a move to Gaga’

Josh (Groban) rolled his eyes.
‘Ha ha’ he said dryly ‘I’ve told you before Char that Gaga shit is well and truly over and done with. I have done it three times and that is more than enough’

‘I can bribe you?’ Louisa asked with a giggle taking her Visa card out of her purse and waving it at him.

‘Louie you couldn’t afford it’ Josh said dryly as Charlotte sniggered ‘if you combined your fortune and Bell’s it wouldn’t come close to the amount I’d want to pull on the tights and heels again. Not if J sold the Strad and you sold your Guarneri’

‘Greedy bastard Groban’ Josh said as he poured himself a water from the jug on the table.

‘Nah Bell I’m just smart’

**********************************************************************************************************************************

After a long and leisurely dinner at Luigi’s Louisa and Josh returned to Collier House with Josh and Charlotte to continue on with the night.

‘Okay present time mine and J’s first!’ Charlotte said brightly as everyone gathered in the spacious lounge room ‘happy birthday Louie this is from J and I’

Charlotte handed Louisa a large envelope .
‘Guys you didn’t have to get me anything’ Louisa said ‘you’re so busy’

‘Okay then we’ll take it back’ Josh said with a laugh leaning forward and holding out his hand.

‘Smart aleck’

Louisa opened the envelope to find a gaudy card addressed to her (To Louie upon the occasion of your thirty first birthday celebrate long and hard Love Charlotte and Josh) a note for a hundred dollar iTunes voucher and a pass for two to the salubrious Kensington Mind and Body Day Spa in Los Angeles. A business known for attracting all the stars in Hollywood.

‘Oh my god the Kensington Spa are you kidding me?’ Louisa yelped engulfing Charlotte in a hug ‘my god Charlie thankyou! We have to go together next time I’m in L.A’

‘No problem’ Charlotte said ‘BJ a colleague from work gets her nails done there and she swears by the technician there. Best Nail Art in Los Angeles apparently’

‘The minute I have a weekend free I’m coming down and we’re having a girlie weekend no blokes loads of chocolate the highest quality vodka and a chick flick marathon’ Louisa said with a grin.

‘You’re on I can turf Josh out the house for a weekend’ Charlotte said with a giggle.

‘Oh you will will you?’ Josh said imperiously.

‘Yeah you can take Sweeney and nick back down to the house in Malibu for a few days’ Charlotte said with a grin.

‘Oh okay then!’

Louisa hugged Josh next.
‘Thanks for the iTunes voucher Josh that’ll last five minutes’ she said with a grin ‘iTunes vouchers are always popular with me’

‘No problem doll’

Louisa opened the presents from the rest of her family and received a basket full of Body Shop Makeup and smelly stuff from Leisl an iPad with her name engraved on the back from Kurt and a deep purple Hermes scarf a oyster shell fountain pen and a gold diamond bracelet from her parents. Then came the time for Josh’s present he handed her a medium sized box wrapped in jellybean wrapping paper and decorated with a bow bigger than the box’

‘I got this a while ago when I was in the UK for the Brahms and Vivaldi recital tour’ he said ‘happy birthday’

Louisa dropped a kiss on her lips then opened the card which was clearly homemade in the shape of a violin. On the inside were two messages one from Josef, Sam and Ben (Dear Loo Boo Happy birthday! We love you very much love Josef, Sam and Ben) and one from Josh (Sweetheart I am so very fortunate that you choose to be with me I’m grateful for every day I wake up to you and for every occasion I talk to you, I hope you have the happiest of birthdays love always Josh)

Louisa gave Josh a wink and then proceeded to open Josh’s present. After removing all the wrappings and paper she took out a dark maple wood box with ‘Mazzone Jewellers London’ printed across the front. She opened it to reveal a thin silver chain with a black South Sea Pearl strung around it. Around the pearl was a delicate diamond and silver accent much like a cage. Everyone in the room ‘ooooohed and aahhhhhhed as the lights in the room sparkled off the piece.

‘Oh wow it’s gorgeous J it must’ve coat you a fortune!’ Louisa exclaimed lifting the piece of jewellery out of the box’

‘No not really I won it in a skill tester’ Josh said with a snort of laughter ‘best three pounds I ever spent’

‘Oh ha ha, put it on me?’

‘Wow South Sea Pearl that’s gorgeous girl I’d never take that off’ Charlotte said admiringly as everyone watched Josh put the necklace around Louisa’s neck ‘Mazzone’s are renown for South Sea Pearl pieces’

‘How do you know that?’

‘J bought me a pair of Black South Sea Pearl earrings when we were in London at the beginning of last month’ Charlotte said ‘I picked the pearls and the jeweller made them into a pair of gold studs. I wear them to every concert now’

‘You ought to wear that thing to the conservatorium recital next month Louie I know it’s a more casual affair but I think it would look great on you’ Freidrich said ‘Bell I want pics’

‘You’ve got them’ Josh said with a grin as he lightly massaged Louisa’s neck with the calloused tips of his fingers

‘If you can get the time off come over it’d be great to have you over’ Louisa said.

‘Love to bub but I have a huge rotation set over the next couple of weeks and I can’t’ Freidrich said ‘I was lucky to get Easter weekend off as it is I have to catch the red eye back to Sydney tomorrow to work tomorrow night I’m all out for holidays for a couple of months at least. And if I’m going to come to the States I’ll want to come for at least a week not a weekend’

‘I’ll come up again and film the whole thing then you can email it off to everyone’ Charlotte volunteered ‘easy fixed’

‘Thanks Charlie’ Louisa said ‘well this has been the best birthday ever thankyou for all being here I’ve had the best time’

‘No worried sis it’s been fun celebrating’ Kurt said ‘you’re well into your dirty thirties now’

‘And August is your turn to enter the decade Kurt you can bet I’ll be making a big deal of it’

‘I look forward to it’

**********************************************************************************************************************************

After much more socialising which involved a half arsed jam session and more after dinner drinks Josh and Louisa went to bed shortly before midnight.

'Oh I've had the best night!' Louisa said as Josh unzipped the back fo her dress and kissed the nape of her neck 'thankyou for making it so wonderful J'

'It wasn't all up to me you know' Josh said with an amused chuckle as Louisa stepped out of the dress and hung it up in the wardrobe 'it was a combined effort'

Louisa rested her hands on his shoulders and kissed him languidly.
'Thankyou' she whispered slowly undoing his tie and pulling it from his collar 'let me thank you?'

'Have you been waiting all day?'

Louisa suckled at Josh's neck before wordlessly dropping to her knees and gently helping him out of his trousers.

'Sweetheart as much as I love you doing that how about we go to bed first?' Josh moaned as she nibbled at his foreskin.

Louisa pouted.
'Aw I just wanted to thank you' she whined.

Josh helped her to her feet.
'I have another gift for you' he whispered unsnapping her bra with an expert flick of his wrist 'if you must thank me do it after I've given you everything'

Louisa's eyes sparkled.
'So I get any clues at all?' she asked as Josh divested himself of all his clothes and pushed her onto the bed.

Josh kissed her hungrily.
'Shut up'

Josh helped Louisa out of all her lingerie then immediately began suckling on her nipples the most sensitive of her body parts. Louisa squirmed under him and moaned breathily.

'Ooooh! she squeaked as he gently caught her left nipple between his teeth and pulled on it 'is this my present?'

'Uh ugh this is just the entree' Josh murmured running the tip of his tongue around the dark skin of her areola 'god I love your breasts'

Louisa ran her fingers through Josh's hair and jumped as his right hand drifted down to her mound and tickled her nub of arousal.

'Just my breasts?'

'All of you'

Josh using all his self control not to pounce on Louisa and ravinsh her into a screaming puddle of goo, he nipped and suckled every inch of Louisa's creamy white skin targeting her erogenous zones. Behind her ears, the nape of her neck the freckled skin of her collarbone, each nipple and perhaps the most sensitive of her her inner thighs and ankles. The air was heavy with the aroma of arousal and Louisa's inner thighs glistened with the evidence of her pulsing libido. Josh made a point of avoiding her clit totally and after half an hour of sensual rubbing, teasing and massaging Louisa was ready to fall apart.

'So would you like your present now sweetheart? Josh whispered in her ear.

Louisa just let out a moan of lust.

Josh rolled over to his side of the bed and opened the top drawer of he bedside table. He reached in and pulled out a small rectangular package wrapped in bright red wrapping paper.

'You're going to have to open your eyes and come to if you want your present sweetheart' Josh whispered in her ear as he lay the package on her abdomen 'c'mon wakey wakey'

Slowly Louisa opened her eyes. He bright blue irises were darkened with lust as first she focused on Josh then the present.
'You literally got me another present?' she said in surpise as he suckled on her neck.

'Uh huh it's something I thought we could take home and use together' he murmured kissing her just behind her ear 'I didn't want to give it to you downstairs. This is not something I want your family to see'

Carefully Louisa broke the tape on the package and pulled the paper away. Inside was a snmall package labelled 'Crystal High Intensity Vibrating bullet On the back Josh had stuck a pair of batteries.

'You bought me a toy?' Louisa asked in surprise.

'Uh huh I don't know if you're ready to venture down that avenue yet but if you are I thought maybe we could test it out tonight' Josh said drawing one of her nipples into his mouth and teasing it with the tip of his tongue 'all the reviews on the website I got it from say it's supposed to make you see stars'

'That was the quote?' Louisa said with a giggle as she began removing the toy from it's packaging 'oh my god this product is like so awesome it so made me gush like a firehose and my boyfriend so like got off on buying it for me it's like so cool! Ahahaha!'

'You know it's very hard to keep a woman turned on when she's giggling' Josh said gently prising the new toy from Louisa's fingers and discarding the wrappers 'may I help you road test this?'

Louisa kissed him hungrily.
'Under one condition' she whispered reaching down and wrapping her fingers around his girth.

'Oh and what's that?'

'You let me ride you' Louisa whispered palming his testicles 'you're deeper when I do and My whole body cums when I'm on top'

Josh felt himself harden even more at Louisa's words.
'Of course it is your birthday and what you want goes' he said with a chuckle as he put the batteries inside the bullet and turned it on.

Louisa slowly sat up and straddled Josh's hips his testicles brishing her core and his erection laying flat against his belly. Josh lifted up the bullet and traced it around her nipples. The sensation send a dizzying shot of pleasure down Louisa's spine that settled low in her pelvis. She jumped and squeaked.

'I'm guessing you liked that?' Josh said with a chuckle sitting up and trailing the sharp end of the bullet down between her breasts.

'Uh huh I can't wait to see what it feels like when it goes further south' Louisa whispered reaching down and pumping his length as he traced her other nipple.

‘Have-patience-sweetheart’ Josh breathed between long and languid kisses ‘I don’t want either of us to go off early’

Louisa just moaned as Josh trailed the bullet all over her body. Up and down her abdomen and back the cleft of her backside the outline of her lips and down to her navel. When she was on the brink of falling apart Josh lifted her up and guided her down over his raging erection. She was so aroused he slid easily into her depths but her warmness clung to him a perfectly fitted jigsaw piece. Louisa let her head fall back and moaned softly and began riding him gently. This is when Josh experimented with touching the bullet to Louisa’s clit. She immediately arched her back and squeezed his length inside her almost painfully.

‘If you want me to last longer than ten seconds you’ll keep that away til the absoloute last second’ Louisa moaned pushing Josh back down and kissing him hungrily ‘if I wanted a quickie I would’ve said so’

‘Take a deep breath this is one occasion where you are not flipping the coin on me’ Josh hissed as he rolled his hips up into hers ‘you may be on top but what happens is up to me. Don't think I won't flip you over and fuck you into next week’

‘And before she could open her mouth to respond Josh tickled her clit with the bullet and cupped a hand over her mouth which muffled the squeal of lust she let out.

‘Fuck you Josh I’m about to come!’ she groaned as she started riding him faster and faster.

‘Come then let go I can hold off then we can come together’ Josh moaned as he lazily circled her engorged nub with the bullet relentlessly keeping the constant vibrating sensation up to her.

His technique worked. Within ten seconds of pressing the bullet to Louisa’s clit she came apart around him for the first time that night. He kept going thrusting up into her and pressing the bullet against her not letting her rest til she came again....and again and again.

Eventually though the sensations got too much even for Josh and with a strangled cry he came hard inside her thrusting up into her hard and dropping the bullet in his own moment of muted completion.

‘UGH!’ he groaned trying in vain to silence himself by pressing his face into the swell of her cleavage ‘fucking hell Louie we’re definitely doing that again!’

‘Ngh n’wy' was all Louisa could manage as Josh lightly thrust into her with each exquisite aftershock ‘Mgh, bstrd’

‘Did you just call me a bastard?’ Josh chuckled as he kneaded her backside ‘that’s not very nice is it?’

‘Arse’ole’ was all she could manage to get out.

‘You’re lucky I know you don’t really mean it’ Josh said with a chuckle as he softened inside of her ‘you should’ve seen your face that image is burned into my memory for all eternity’

‘It was several long minutes of her just laying on top of him before Louisa was able to legibly speak.

‘You’re a shit’ was all she could manage with a barely audible whisper.

‘Happy birthday sweetheart I hope you enjoy all your presents’ Josh said with a chuckle

‘Ngh’

Louisa was still so aroused sensible conversation eluded her. Josh just chuckled, then slipped from her and within minutes the exhausted pair was fast asleep.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Eventually Josh and Louisa’s time in Australia came to end and found them waiting in the Qantas first class lounge at Tullamarine airport the following night waiting to catch their flight back to New York.

‘Good evening ladies and gentlemen this is the first boarding call for all passengers flying with Qantas Airways flight twenty thirty from Melbourne Tullamarine direct to J.F.K International. All passengers holding a boarding pass for this flight are requested to immediately make their way to gay twelve in the International departures lounge for the scheduled departure time of ten thirty PM

‘It was wonderful having you home again honey hopefully I’ll see you again before Christmas’ Jennifer said to Louisa embracing her youngest daughter tightly ‘you live entirely too far away for my liking’

‘I know Mum but I’m settled in the States now and you know every day there are more and more reasons for me to stay’ Louisa said with a grin as her father and Josh bade each other farewell.

‘One being a totally gorgeous older violinist?’ Jennifer said under her breath.

Louisa giggled.
‘He’s the main reason Ma’ she said with a grin ‘plus there’s work. The longer I’m in it the more flexible my hours are so I’ll be able to come home more often. And you know I don’t travel much anymore so if you have some time off you’re welcome to come over even if it’s just for a weekend. You’re a Q.C you can work whenever the hell you like’

‘You can bet I’ll come over and visit whenever I can bub I miss you far too much just to wait for Easter and Christmas’ Jennifer said giving her daughter a squeeze ‘you look after yourself darling and have a safe flight home’

‘I will’

Louisa farewelled her father next.
‘I’m gonna miss ya Dad’ she said her voice muffled by his shirt collar ’look after Mum and the cats and dog and kick Kurt's arse at golf won’t you? Don’t tell him I said that or I’ll get a wet tea towel rat tail next time I’m in town’

George laughed heartily.
‘It’ll be out secret hon’ he said ‘have a safe flight home won’t you?’

‘Will do Dad I love you loads’

‘Love you too hon’

Then with a wave Louisa laced her fingers through Josh bid her parents farewell then walked toward the passenger queue ready to return home to the United States.
