Red was the first to wake up. He was always an early riser. He saw that Kitty was still asleep. He noticed the storm finally stopped. He knew Kitty would appreciate that.
He was beginning to think that storm was a bad omen. It was day 3 of their vacation and other than the nightmares it was going really well.
He carefully untangled himself from Kitty and went to the bathroom. He came out and called room service and they brought breakfast and coffee up.
He went over to the bed and kissed Kitty awake. He felt her respond to the kiss and saw her eyes flutter open. She looked at him and smiled. She said "I love it when you wake me up like that".
He smiled and said "how did you sleep"? She said "great I was so relaxed after you gave me that massage…you have magic hands". He laughed "only for you babe". She smiled and said "they better be".
She said "what time is it"? He said "about 7:40, I thought we could get an early start"? She said "of course we can".
She put on his shirt and once again only buttoned a few buttons. Before Red could say anything she said "you like"? He was speech less so he just nodded. She laughed, sat down and ate. They saved time and showered together. They made love in the shower. They stepped out and the bathroom was covered in steam but she felt wonderful and didn't have a bad thought in her head.
Red finished getting ready before Kitty so he watched her put her make up on and fix her hair. Once she finished she turned around and saw Red watching her. She smiled and kissed him.
She said "are you ready"? He said "yes; what would you like to do today"? She said "I'd like to take a stroll in the organic garden and maybe go fishing or go on a horse-drawn sleigh ride"? He smiled and said "whatever you want".
They took a stroll in the garden first. Kitty loved all of the colors. She thought it was gorgeous. Red could tell she loved it the moment they got here. He knew one of her weaknesses was flowers. In the past when he made her angry he would always bring flowers home and she'd let him off the hook the moment she saw the flowers.
She sighed and said "oh Red it's beautiful; I wish I had a garden like this". He said "well maybe if you don't go back to work that can be your new hobby". She stopped walking and looked at him and said excitedly "you really mean it"? He said "yes".
She threw her arms around him and said "I love you so much". He said "I love you too; and I know you haven't made your decision yet but I do hope you will think about going back to work".
She sighed and sternly said "Red". Before she could get to upset he said "okay, I'll drop it for now but we do need to eventually talk about it" She looked at him sadly and said "I know we but can we wait until I have to go back"? He said "alright".
They continued to walk and he could see her shutting down after he brought up the work situation. He took her hand and intertwined their fingers she looked down at their hands and then looked into his eyes and gave him a soft smile. She moved closer to him and he smiled.
They finished their walk through the garden and he noticed she was feeling better. He said "you want to go on that sleigh ride now"? She smiled and said "I'd love to". They walked over to the sleigh and got in. The driver gave them a blanket and she immediately snuggled close to Red. They were quiet during the entire ride just enjoying each other's presence.
One hour later the ride was over. They thanked the driver and they headed back to the room for lunch. They got to the room and she sat down on the bed and laid on her back. She sighed "oh Red that was wonderful".
He walked over to her and squatted down in front of her. He let his hands slide up her legs and said "yes it was". She pushed herself up on her elbows and looked at her husband. She looked at him with a sly smile and said "aren't you going to join me"? He said "well, I could but why don't we eat lunch first and then I'm all yours".
She thought about it and said "alright; if you insist". He said "I do; while we wait why don't you call the kids I know your dying to see if their alright". She smirked "am I that obvious"? He said "only to me". Red called room service quickly so Kitty could call the house.
Kitty dialed their home number and Eric answered "hello"? Kitty said "hi sweetheart how is everything going"? He smiled at the sound of her voice and said "everything is fine and you can let dad know the house is still standing and there have been no parties besides Midge has been watching us like a hawk; she has changed…in a good way but I'm not sure I like it". She gave the famous Kitty laugh and said "well I like it". He muttered "I'm sure you do". She said "what was that"? He quickly said "nothing". She smiled "that's what I thought". She said "have you kids been eating alright"? He said "yes mom". She smiled and said "good". Eric said "how is your vacation going"? She smiled brightly "oh its going great your father and I are having a wonderful time". Eric was pleased and said "good I'm glad to hear it". The food arrived and Kitty said "Eric honey our food arrived so I need to get off but we will call later tonight". Eric said "alright I love you mom". She said "I love you too and tell Steven I love him". He said "alright" and hung up.
She looked at Red and saw that he had the food ready. She sat down at the table and started eating. He said "how is everything at home"? She smiled and said "good Eric said they can't do anything bad because Midge is watching them like a hawk and they don't like it". Red almost choked when he heard Midge was being responsible. Kitty said "are you alright"? He said "I'm fine Midge being responsible surprised me that's all". She laughed.
They finished eating and the energy they had earlier was gone all they wanted to do was take a nap. Red stripped down to his boxers and Kitty stripped down to her underwear and grabbed Red's shirt and slipped it over her shoulders but she did not button it up. Red smiled at the sight and wrapped his arms around her. He could feel her breast brush up against his chest and sighed. They kissed and fell asleep.
