Lucas woke up a few minutes from the house. He sat up and again rubbed his eyes. Kristin looked back at him and smiled and said, "Lucas I want you to meet a friend of mine and the lady responsible for our being here, this is Doctor Joann Henderson."
Lucas smiled and said, "It's nice to meet you Doctor Henderson."
Joann smiled and then laughed and said, "Lucas it's a pleasure to meet you but the only people that call me Doctor Henderson are patients. You're not my patient so Joann will work just fine okay?"
The teen nodded as the three-some arrived at the house that Joann
called home. As they climbed out of the car Kristin and Lucas just stood in amazement at what stood before them. Joann's house was beautiful and a 3- story brick house with both a beautiful porch that wrapped around both front and back and a full sized in ground swimming pool. Joann came up beside them and said, "Come on in. I'll give you the ten cent tour before I have to get back to the hospital."
They picked up their bags and followed her into the lush house and were greeted at the door by a man in his 40's with greying hair and a medium build. "Hello ma'am. May I help you with the bags?"
Joann smiled at him and said, "No thank you James. This is Doctor
Kristin Westphalen and Mister Lucas Wolenczak."
"How do you do ma'am, sir? My name is James and I'm the butler here. If you need anything please just call me."
Kristin smiled and spoke first, "It's nice to meet you James and thank you."
He nodded and headed off down a long hallway. After he was out of earshot Kristin looked questioningly over at her friend who just smiled and said, "They pay me well at the hospital."
Joann picked up a couple of the bags and led the way up to the second
floor. The house had everything that Lucas could imagine including 8 bedrooms, a very lavish kitchen, music appreciation room, library, servant's quarters and a pool house. The teen was sure there was more but that was all Joann had said. The group stopped in front a lavishly carved oak door and Joann smiled at him and lightly turned the handle, "This is your room Lucas. I hope you'll like it."
Lucas stepped through the door and felt like he was in OZ. There was a huge King sized bed in the middle of the room. A nice roll top desk in one corner, another desk that had a computer system set up, and on the last corner were two doors. A huge picture window had a gorgeous view of the Honolulu sunset and a covered porch adored the outside part of the room. Joanna stepped over to the door on the left and opened it revealing a very nice bathroom. She turned to her two guests and said, "The next door over leads to Kristin's room. I thought you two might like adjoining rooms. We can always move one of you if you like."
Before Kristin could say anything Lucas jumped in and said, "Thanks
Joann. If the doc doesn't mind I don't mind."
Kristin nodded her head and followed Lucas and Joann into her room. It was equally impressive, with things just in slightly different places. Placing her bags on the luggage rack she stepped over to her friend and hugged her, "Joann I can't thank you enough for this."
Joann smiled and hugged her friend back and then pulled away. "Don't think anything of it Kristin, I'm glad I could do it. I'm afraid I'm going to have to be going before we finish our tour though. If you need anything just call James and he'll be glad to help you out. I'm not going to be back until late so we'll talk over breakfast in the morning. It was nice meeting you Lucas and I'll see you two later."
Lucas nodded and he and Kristin watched as she quickly exited the room and closed the door behind her. The two stood quietly for several minutes when Lucas said, "I'm going to unpack and then grab a nap doc. Despite all the sleeping I'm still tired."
"Sounds like a good idea Lucas. I'm going to do the same thing. Do you need anything before you turn in?"
The teen shook his head and moved into his room and closed the door. Kristin nodded to herself and moved over to begin her own unpacking; she had barely gotten started when she began to realize how tired she was. 'I'll nap now and unpack after' she told herself lying out on the bed. Before long her eyes were closed and she drifted off to sleep.
Several hours later Lucas began to stir and slowly stretched his tired and tight muscles from sleeping too much he guessed. He lay in the dark for several more minutes when he finally got up. It was 8pm according to the clock next to the bed. As he sat up he realized he was hungry and headed for the door. Suddenly he stopped wondering if the doc was up. He headed over to her door but then thought she might still be sleeping, so he went over to the roll top desk instead. He wrote a quick note to his companion and went and slid it under the door. After making sure it was in there he quickly headed down the stairs and toward the kitchen, with any luck Joann had some leftovers in the fridge that he could make quick history out of.
