Adventure Time

"I can't believe we both have the whole weekend off! We should do something!" Olivia exclaimed excitedly.

"What would you like to do?" Fitz asked. It was Thursday night and the happy couple were cuddling on the couch as the evening news droned on in the background.

"I don't know. Let's...get away! Go somewhere we've never been to before. Go on an adventure!" Olivia said with a big smile.

She sounded like a little kid and her enthusiasm was contagious. "Well, how do we know what we haven't done if we've never done it before?" Fitz pointed out.

"You want to play the game never have I ever, adventure edition? Because things could get real enlightening real fast!" She wondered what his answer would be.

"Bring it on, smartass. You can even ask the first question."

"A bold move. I like your confidence." Olivia teased. Suddenly, her eyes popped wide open and she yelled, "wait!" The cat jumped off the couch as if it were on fire and went to hide in the spare bedroom. "We need shots to play this game."

"Real enlightening real fast." Fitz replied with a crooked smile. He pat her ass as she quickly got up and brought back a bottle and two shot glasses to the couch.

She plopped down beside him and filled the tiny glasses with whiskey. "Okay, here goes. Never have I ever been camping."

Fitz looked at Olivia and Olivia looked at Fitz.

"What do we do if we've never done that?" he asked. "I don't remember how to play this game."

"If you've been camping then you take a shot." Olivia instructed.

"Okay" Fitz said and didn't move. "And if you have then you take a drink, right?"

"Yea."

"So, why aren't you drinking?" he asked, looking at her full glass.

"Why aren't you drinking?" Olivia asked, eyeing his full glass.

"Because you just said I only drink if I've gone camping."

Olivia stared at him. "I'm not drinking because the person who makes the statement is supposed to say something that they've never done."

"You've never been camping?" Fitz accused.

Olivia shook her head back and forth. "You've never been camping either?"

"No." he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I was always more focused on getting good grades so I could go to college."

"What does that have to do with going camping?" Olivia asked with a confused look.

"Why have you never been camping, if you're such hot shit?"

"Because there's nowhere to go camping in New York without it costing an arm and a leg." she replied. "Did we really just discover something neither one of us have done before without having to drink at all? We suck at this game."

She looked more than a little disappointed, so Fitz clinked their glasses together and said, "it looks like we're camping this weekend."

When their glasses were empty, Olivia said, "We need to buy sleeping bags and stuff."

He squinted at her. "What kind of stuff?"

"A tent would be good. Other than that, I have no idea. We'll have to google it."

Fitz put his arm around her shoulder. "We are going to do something neither one of us has ever done before. And we are going to do it together."

"Doctor Daring in the wild is something I can't wait to see."

"Would you like to see some of my skills right now?" he asked with a boyish grin.

Olivia giggled. "Save it for the tent tomorrow night. It'll be so romantic."

"Fine, buzzkill. When do you want to go shopping for our camping shit?"

"Now."

"As in right now? But I'm all comfy with you right now." He nuzzled in her neck.

"Don't be a baby. If we go get everything tonight then tomorrow night we can leave after we get home from work."

"But that means I have to get up now." he whined.

"Get up!" Olivia jumped to her feet. She wasn't that excited to go out tonight either, but she knew when they were on their way to the campsite tomorrow, they would be happy that they got everything taken care of tonight. "You got your wallet?"

"Of course. I don't leave home without it."

The next afternoon the happy couple arrived home within fifteen minutes of each other. Fitz had packed up everything the night before and was actually feeling excited to go camping with Olivia for his first time. He had already changed into jeans and a long sleeved shirt with tennis shoes. He felt rugged and manly, shedding his doctor persona and leaving it in the city. "Go get your cute ass changed and then let's get going."

"We are going to have sex in a tent for the first time together tonight. I can't wait." She sang the last three words as she began taking her clothing off and making her way into their room.

They and their stuff were dropped off in front of a large wooden cabin. They walked inside and proceeded to the long counter where two people with smiling faces waited to serve them. "Hello. How can I help you this afternoon?" a woman asked. She was petite with brown eyes and brown hair that was pulled up high in a ponytail.

"We reserved a campsite and need to check in." Fitz explained.

"Great. What name is it under?" She asked. Fitz gave his name and the woman began furiously typing on the keyboard. "Found you, Mr. Grant. You are staying with us for two nights, correct?"

"That's right." He replied. Olivia squeezed his hand excitedly, making him grin.

"Okay, and how would you like to pay? Cash, credit or debit card?"

Fitz slid a crisp one hundred dollar bill across the counter. "Cash please."

"Perfect." The brunette chirped. She gave him change and a brochure that highlighted the amenities. It showed the hiking trails, the picnic pavilion areas, indoor bathrooms – complete with hot showers and restrooms - the games area where horseshoes or volleyball were available, and of course, the lake where everyone went swimming or canoeing.

"This is gonna be so much fun! We've never been camping before." Olivia gushed as she continued looking over the brochure.

"Neither one of you has been camping before? Really?" the brunette asked. "Then you're in for a great weekend full of adventure in the great outdoors. Can I ask what made you choose us?

Olivia decided to go with honesty instead of ass kissing. "It was the first place to pop up on our Google search."

"Wonderful." the employee said and handed them the rest of their paperwork. "You're on site five oh two. If you need anything at all, feel free to come back here and ask. Otherwise, we will see you when you check out on Sunday at eleven. Enjoy your visit."

"Thank you. I'm sure we will." Fitz led the way outside wearing a backpack and carrying their tent as he held hands with Olivia. "I'm so excited to be camping with you, Liv."

"Me too!" Olivia exclaimed with a big grin.

They found their campsite and Olivia immediately began taking selfies everywhere. On the empty lot, with the grill, sitting at the picnic table, beside their stuff. Fitz made her stop and help him set up the tent while it was still daylight. She made him promise to take her hiking as soon as they were done.

Thirty minutes later, every piece was out of the neatly packed tent bag, but the tent still wasn't put together. "I don't get it." Fitz muttered. "I have done everything I can to put this damned thing together. Why is it still not standing upright?"

Olivia had grown tired of taking selfies and was getting aggravated instead. "I don't know but it's getting late. We need to be figuring it out so we can go for our walk. Maybe we can catch the sunset? If the tent gets put together soon."

"Have you ever put a tent together before?" he asked with impatience.

"No." she replied blandly.

"Neither have I. It's a learning process, Liv."

"It might be easier if you read the directions?" she suggested with a superior look. "Would you like for me to read them to you?"

"Fine. It'll give you something to do besides take three hundred and fourteen selfies all around the campsite."

She mocked the sound of his whiny voice as she made a face. "It'll give you something to do besides take three hundred and fourteen selfies all around the campsite."

He stopped working and looked over at her. "You know how much I hate it when you do that shit."

"Yes, I do." she said with a smile. Looking down at the paper in front of her she read, "step one."

Another half hour later, the tent was standing. But it was crooked. Fitz was feeling accomplished with it not lying in the gravel anymore and took the small crooked victory with pride. "Let's take a picture of the two of us in front of it."

"Ummmm, let's do it later?" Olivia suggested. The tent was in sad shape and she knew her social media account would get sarcastic comments because of it. "We should really get going on our hike right now."

"It'll just take a second. Come on, Liv. It's my first attempt at putting together a tent. I know it doesn't look perfect, but I did my best and that should count for something?"

That was a good point. To hell with the haters! "Let's do it!" Both of them stood in front of the tent and she snapped the picture of their two smiling faces. It just so happened that only a small portion of the tent made it into the photo. She posted the picture with a cute caption and slide her phone into her back pocket. "Let's go for a walk. It'll be dusk soon."

The two of them walked hand in hand up an incline. When the trees parted, they saw a breath taking view of the sun sinking behind the mountains in the distance in front of them. Olivia laid her head on his shoulder while his arm went around her. "That was beautiful. Camping is amazing."

"I'm glad we took the time to learn something new about each other too. That neither one of us has ever done this before. What a great first memory." He felt Olivia shudder and asked, "Are you ready to go back?"

She nodded and they began following the path back to the campsite.

They were about halfway back and discussing what they wanted to do tomorrow. "Let's rent a canoe." Olivia suggested.

"I didn't come all the way out here to paddle you around in a boat. We can do that in the city. We have done that in the city." he reminded her. "Let's go swimming instead."

"You just want to get me in my bathing suit." she said grinning at him and following his steps.

"You're a smart woman, counselor." Fitz stopped walking and turned around to face her. "I've never had sex in a lake before either. Have you?"

"Fitz! There will probably be kids in the water tomorrow. We're not having sex in the lake." She watched his face turn into a frown. It was kinda cute. "But I would enjoy sneaking you into the shower with me if you were up for that after we swim?"

"Mmmmm." He kissed her hungrily and then felt something wet on his face. "What in the hell..."

They both looked up at the sky. It was darker now, but not completely black. "Is it...raining?" Olivia asked.

Another drop hits their faces, followed by a few more. "It's definitely raining. Let's hurry and get back before it becomes a downpour."

"I hope the tent is still standing." Olivia jokes.

"You're welcome to sleep in the tent you put up." Fitz suggests with a chuckle.

"Hey! I helped!"

The rain was coming down a little more than sprinkling now and they were running. Olivia hurriedly unzipped the tent and they dove inside. "I don't want my sleeping bag to get wet." she whined.

"Then take off your wet clothes. Problem solved." Fitz told her with a lopsided smile.

She got up on her knees and pulled off her shoes, throwing them into the corner of the tent. "Good idea. Why don't we both get undressed and get started with the tent sex you promised me?"

"I like the way you think." Fitz zipped the tent closed and pulled his shirt over his head, throwing it in the corner with her shoes.

In a matter of minutes, the wet clothing was all piled up in the corner of the tent and Olivia and Fitz were a mass of wandering hands and tangled bodies. Somehow, they had both gotten into the same sleeping bag and their bodies joined together as one in a flash. "Feels sooo good!" Fitz muttered into her neck.

"Tent sex is the best sex" Olivia agreed. "Told you it'd be romantic."

They were enjoying a slower pace, enjoying each other, with contented sighs and heart melting kisses. "I love you, Liv."

"I love you too. Always and forever."

"I want to ask you a question."

"Right now?" she chuckled.

"Yes, right now." he dipped his head and pecked her lips. "And I want you to be honest with me."

"I wouldn't lie to you."

"What are your thoughts on getting married?"

"What?" She yelled and stopped moving.

"You heard me."

"Why are you asking me that? Especially right now?"

"Because I want to know what you think about it."

"And you want me to be honest about it?"

"Yea."

"I love you. And that's never gonna change."

"That's good to know." he said and pecked her lips. "Now tell me what you think."

Olivia didn't know where to begin with how to explain to him how she felt about this topic. She had so many conflicting thoughts about it. Her heart told her one thing while her mind told her something else. As a lawyer, the rational side of her mind won out and she recalled the words her boss said to her recently. "We are both very busy people who are at the beginning of very demanding careers. You are always getting called into work at random times of the day and night. And I'm spending just as much time at the office as I am at home now. It's always something for one of us and it'll always be something. Something will come up or someone will need something. Something pressing will demand our attention."

"All of that is very true." Fitz agreed.

"Here comes the but..." Olivia muttered.

"But, say it's five years from now. We are both settled into our careers and have a good balance between our home and work lives. What does that future you think about getting married?"

At that moment the bottom fell out of the sky. Rain hammered into the medium sized beige tent and it began to leak. "Fitz! Why is there water inside the tent? It's like a waterfall of it."

It began to plummet down, hitting him between his bare shoulder blades making him yell loudly. "holy fuck! That water is freezing!" Fitz wasted no time removing himself from on top of Olivia's body. "I don't know why the tent is leaking! It's brand new! There shouldn't be holes in it yet!"

Olivia grabbed her cellphone and her fingers began to furiously move across the screen. She eventually stilled and finally said, "let me guess? You didn't seal it?"

Fitz had begun to get dressed but paused for a moment as words to that effect floated through his head. "The guy at the store said something about that to me but I thought he meant after we used it once or something like that."

Olivia held out a hand and watched as water dripped into it. "Obviously not, Fitz."

"Well excuse me! I've never been camping before, Liv! I didn't know!"

"What are we gonna do now? We can't very well seal it now that it's raining, now can we?" She was cold and wet and hadn't gotten an orgasm and she figured for all those reasons she was allowed to be yelling at him right now.

"Let's just go home. This was a stupid idea."

She started to laugh. She couldn't help it. Touching his cheek, she said, "we should have looked at the weather forecast before we lost our minds first is all. Other than the rain, it's been really fun."

"Are we done being sentimental now? Can we please go home? I don't want to sleep in a wet bed."

She called a cab to come and get them and began throwing their wet clothes into a bag out in the rain while Fitz took the tent down. He was using the most colorful language as he angrily pulled stakes out of the ground and threw skinny metal poles on the ground.

Fucking stupid tent was a piece of shit. Leaking in the rain before they could even sleep in it once. Or have sex in it. Not to mention the fact that he would never get it inside the oblong bag that in came in. It was all a rip off. He really didn't want to go home but he knew he wasn't staying inside a wet tent either. As he threw another tent pole, it bounced off a metal trashcan nearby. That decided everything that happened afterwards.

He threw the tent, poles, stakes, bag and all into the trashcan and helped Olivia gather their stuff together. Staying dry was hopeless and the stopped trying. They got into the taxi and Fitz rattled off an address that wasn't home. Olivia settled against Fitz's side and said, "I hate camping. We are never doing that again."

"Agreed. You are the smartest woman I know. And now we both know why we've never done it before."

"Where are we going?"

He kissed her temple. "It's a surprise."

They pulled up in front of a huge rustic looking log cabin twenty minutes later. "What's this place?"

"It's the great outdoors inside. Let's go check in." he said, kissing her hand.

The inside of their cabin looked like a log cabin. It had a high wooden ceiling, gleaming exposed beams, a rock fireplace, lots of big picture windows, and even a deer head mounted onto the wall. It was very rustic and homey and open. The two of them got settled into their waterproof room and took turns taking showers to get warm. The minute Fitz was out of the shower, he dried off and crawled into the bed beside Olivia. She laid her head on his shoulder and snuggled close to him as they watched the rain continue to fall outside. "This is sooooo much better."

"MmmmHmmm. I'll never take a dry bed for granted again." He rolled them over so that she was underneath him. "I believe that we have some unfinished business to tend to."

She grinned up at him and rubbed his warm clean smelling skin. "Do we? I might need you to freshen my memory."

He didn't get the opportunity to because she guided his hard length to her opening and arched her back, taking all of him in. Fitz held onto her and leaned down closer to her face. He nibbled on her bottom lip before bringing it into his mouth to gently suck on. When he released it, he ravaged her mouth with his, letting his tongue slither into her mouth. Tent sex wasn't shit! Cabin sex was much better!

"Consider my mind refreshed." Olivia panted.

"Nice try, Liv. But that wasn't what I was referring to." Fitz said, smiling down at her. "I know you hope that I had forgotten what we were talking about once the rain hit, but I didn't. I'm a doctor and we are a stickler for details. I asked you what your five years from now future self would say about being married. Remember?"

Damn him for remembering! He was part elephant, Olivia was convinced. And she knew which parts of him definitely reminded her of elephants. She faked the remembering though. "Oh yeaaaa. That's right. Well, five years from now I would very much like to be married. As long as my husband takes me to cabins to take advantage of me in."

Fitz rolled them again so that Liv was on top of him. He pinched her ass until she yelped. "So, in five years you'd be okay with being married to me? How about three?"

"I think we should stick with the original time line of five years. It just has a cleaner sound to it. A nice well rounded number. Five. That's the goal we are shooting for."

"I can live with that. But if you change your mind about hurrying along your time line just keep me posted."

"You'll be the first to know." she promised.

They rolled on the bed once more. "Now, can you please stop talking about our future so that I can bring you across the finish line? It's been way too long since I've heard you scream my name and it turns me on something fierce."

"Let's see what you got." she teased.
