Plot: Both Claudia and Myka have some vacation time. Mrs. Fredric is forcing them to take it saying they need a break. Pete has already used his vacation time and so has Artie. Myka suggests they take a road trip up to a cabin by the lake that she has rented for two weeks. It's supposed to have two beds but whoops they made a mistake and gave them the cabin of love (aka: the Honeymoon Cabin or Lover's Cabin). Oh what fun and games will be had because they aren't together yet? (Yet is a key word)
Oh and this is before H.G comes into the picture.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
At the B&B
"Claudia, are you almost ready to go?" called Myka from the hallway. The older woman was packed and ready to go. They were going to take her car to the cabin she had rented for them during their vacation.
"Just one more minute," called Claudia from upstairs. "I'm almost finished packing."
Artie walked into the hallway closely followed by Pete. "Do you have everything? Sun screen, bug spray…"
Myka cut him off, "Of course I have everything Artie. Shouldn't you be asking Claudia this questions not me?"
"Where is Claudia?" asked Pete.
"She's doing a little last minute packing. Here she comes."
Claudia was lugging a big bag down the stairs. "Ready to go?" asked Claudia.
"Yep, do have everything now?" asked Myka.
"I think so," replied Claudia.
"Well then I guess we'll see you in two weeks Artie. Are you sure you don't need us to stay? I mean…"
Artie cut Myka off. "Just go already and have a good time. I can take care of Pete and the warehouse for two weeks."
"Hey, I don't need to be looked after," protested Pete.
"Pete you can't cook anything. You'd starve if any of us weren't here," said Claudia.
The two women hugged the Artie and Pete goodbye. Pete had to help Claudia load her suitcase into the back of the SUV. After another series of goodbyes the women set off on their vacation. A little while into the trip Myka put in a CD so they could listen to music. Myka had burned the CD especially for their trip. The first song on the CD was Hey, Soul Sister by Train.
"You like Train?" asked Claudia.
"Yeah they have some good songs," replied Myka. After listening to the whole CD in silence Myka finally said. "You know this is nice Claudia. We don't get to spend a lot of time together. Now we get to spend some quality girl time together."
"Yeah we don't spend that much time together. Plus it's nice to get out of the warehouse," Claudia paused looking at the brochure for the lake and the cabin "So you rented the double room cabin?"
"Yeah that's the one I ordered. They said that were the only ones at the lake. We were lucky because they have closed down the other cabins because they're being remodeled; all except that one. The guy said that it would be perfect for two women looking for a nice get away. I assume he meant the two rooms, but I'm not actually sure. There is a map on the brochure telling where the cabins are. Apparently they were numbered at random not by how many cabins they have. Our cabin number is 69."
"Oh there it is," said Claudia pointing to a dot on the map. "Do you know how long till we get there?"
"I was planning on making a few stops on the way. I paid for the deluxe so he'd stock us up. The guy said that he would make sure the cabin would be freshly restocked on everything we could want. I wanted to stop for some Twizzlers though and some of those little small town stores on the way."
"That sounds good to me. Do you think we could get some Sour Patch Kids with those Twizzlers?" asked Claudia.
"That's fine with me," replied Myka. "So Claudia I don't know too much about you. Tell me about yourself."
"Well you know I have a brother that raised me after my parents' death. I really like tech things. I'm not really sure what else to tell you," said Claudia shrugging.
"How about I ask you a question then you ask me one?" offered Myka.
"Sounds good to me, but technically that was a question; which would make it my turn. Do you like Pete as more than a friend?"
"What? No I don't like Pete in that way. He is more like a kid brother to me. What about you do you have any guys that you like?"
"No," Claudia paused for a second. "Actually I prefer women more than men."
"Oh really," was all Myka could manage. She hadn't thought Claudia was gay. She had no problem with her being gay. It just came as a surprise; although it did explain why Claudia had never had boyfriend while working at the warehouse.
"Are you going to be ok sharing a cabin with me?" asked Claudia worried from Myka's lack of response.
This seemed to snap Myka out of her initial shock. "Oh no Claudia it doesn't bother me. I'm actually bi. So no you being gay won't be a problem. I guess we'll just talk about girls instead of guys during our girl's weekend."
Myka is bi? Thought Claudia, She certainly didn't show interest in women, at least not around me. I wonder if she's attracted to me.
Myka seemed lost in her own thought as well. So Claudia's gay? I certainly wouldn't have guessed that. I guess Pete's gut feeling is more accurate than I thought. I wonder if she's attracted to me.
They were lost in there own thoughts until Myka pulled over for gas and bought all the Twizzlers and Sour Patch Kids the guy working there had. The guy had given Myka direction to a small town a couple of miles from where they'd be staying. Claudia had convinced Myka to stop and drop their stuff off at the cabin and go shopping the next the day. They only had an hour drive to get to the cabin. Most the car ride up to where they were staying was spent in silence.
So what do you think? Continue?
