It had been about a week since clarisse and Joe finally said "I do" and the queen sat in her suite gazing out her window out onto the mountain top which held a beautiful water fall beside it.
"Oh how id love to go to the waterfall." she said sadly to herself.
At that moment a know came at her door.
"Come in."
"Your Majesty,Joe would like a word with you." it was charlotte.
charlotte looked into her majesty eyes and saw the heaviness in them.
" tell him to come in,and charlotte..."she hesitated a moment
" Thank you."
"for what you majesty?"
" For being a good, and dear friend"
" Your welcome,and thank you for allowing me to get close to you."
The queen gave a grateful nod and turned back to her window. Joe appeared at the door, the queen did not notice,so he crept in slowly and quietly so not to get her attention. He came over to her and rested his hand on her shoulder. It startled her making her jump a little, but when she saw that it was Joe, she relaxed again allowing him to rub her neck.
"My dear, what are you gazing at?"
"Oh nothing just that mountain,you know,I have wished to go there someday but never found the time." she admitted closing her eyes to the tingling sensation of Joe's hands against her bare neck.
"Well my dear, if you would like, you and I could take a picnic there,just the two of us."
"Oh Joseph really? when?"
"today,Right now in fact. Ill ask Mia to arrange a basket,blanket and towles.im sure she would not mind tending to the castle for an hour or so."
"Towels?"
"Of Course my dear. You are aware of the waterfall are you not?"he asked moving his hands from her neck to her lower back.
"well yes I'm aware,ok I suppose I should tell charlotte to clear her sched..."Joe interrupted her before she could finish
" No my dear just you and I. No guards,no security. The only protecting you will need is from me." he smiled giving her a sinister grin.
She giggled and took his hand from her back using it as a post to help her up.
" Ok then its settled well leave in about 30 minutes, just let me freshen up."
" As you wish"
"Oh and Joe" she said turning from her doorway
" Thank you!"
"anything for my queen."

Chapter 2
As clarisse laid out the red and white picnic blanket and laid out the food, Joe watched and admired the way she delicately placed everything. He gave a silent little chuckle.
"what are you snickering at?"
" Oh nothing, it's just, your so cute the way you do things."he said walking over to her wrapping his arms around her waist and letting their lips meet.
" Um mm, you know" she asked. " It feels so nice to be able to kiss you and not have to worry about getting in trouble.
" and It feels so nice to be here , on a beautiful mountain,kissing the most beautiful woman alive."
The mist from the water fall was now covering on clarisse and Joe like a blanket.
"hey you know what my queen, I really would like to jump in that water."
" I can't I'm scared"
" Don't be" He said while taking off his shirt and jeans, leaving on his boxers. And in moments, he was in the water 15 feet below his bride
" Your crazy!" she called below her
" maybe, but it sure is fun." He called back up. Come on in the waters fine!"
"It's to far down!"
" Awww don't be suck a baby...baby!"
" baby? Well see about that!" and she took off her dress, leaving on her under gown. Then In a rush of fear, she took a step forward peering down at the water.Then she jumped right down in the water.
In a hurry to hold her, Joe grabbed her and said" Now that wasn't so bad was it?"
" No actually, it was quit fun." Joe wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck very gently, and spun her around and around and just took in the excitement of having her as his bride.
" You know how much I love you?"
" How much?"
" I love you as many stars as there are in the sky"
" Dido"
And with that, they kissed spinning and spinning under the waterfall without a care in the world.
