A Strange Romance

My question caught her off guard but I saw it in her eyes before the shutters came down that I was. "Perhaps, we will see this afternoon Miss Lane," she rang a bell and told the housekeeper who appeared, "Ask James to bring the car round Miss Lane and I will be going out for lunch."
Being careful to watch my P and Q's, Mrs Temple took me to lunch, where I ate with proper feminine manners and politely said hello to the people she introduced me to as, "My Scott's girlfriend."

She was clearly pleased with my performance, because just as we were leaving another woman of about Mrs Temple's age called, "Pammy, is that you darling?" She was accompanied by a tall man who I vaguely recognised.

"Hello Sylvia?" Scott's mother said with a smile. "How are you dear, we've not hooked up for ages, and Roland you're looking as dashing as ever."

"Hello Pam." Roland rumbled giving me an appreciative look, "And who is this pretty little filly?"

"Oh this is Scott's fiancé Angela Lane," waving a hand at me she said, "Angie, meet Sylvia and Roland Barns."

"Hello." I said with a demure smile just about managing to hide my surprise, the man was speaker of the House of Commons!

I suddenly felt very out of my depth, and then I was rescued. I almost jumped out of my skin when an arm slipped round my waist and a very familiar voice whispered in my ear. "Hello darling, you missed me?"

I stood there stunned before I whispered, "Scott?" Aware and yet completely oblivious to everyone looking I threw my arms round him and tasted his lips for the very first time.

"Hey, hey!" He snickered extracting himself from my arms, "I've not been gone that long sweetheart."

"You're back early!" Mrs Temple said accusingly. "I was planning on taking Angie shopping."

Master Scott did not bat an eyelid at his mother calling me Angie as he said hugging me to his side possessively.
