"Stephanie.." Jeff whispered opening his eyes. He looked down upon the sleeping beauty in his arms. Cradling her he sighed. He hoped that she'd be alright. He turned his attention to the sun rise. He could barely see it but he knew it was there. A new day.



"Jeff." Stephanie mumbled and felt a warm breeze blow past her neck. She sprung straight up realizing she was alone. Fear settled in as her eyes adjusted to the brightness that was coming with the day. He wouldn't just leave her right?



"Hey!" Jeff called out coming down the ramp. Her eyes showed relief that he was still there.



"Where'd you go?" Stephanie asked sitting up.



"Just for a walk along the board walk. Seeing the sunrise." He responded.



"Oh.was it beautiful." Stephanie asked.



"Not as beautiful as you." Jeff smiled and looked at her. They both broke out into laughter.



"How cheesy was that?" Jeff asked her.



"Hopefully your cheesiest." Stephanie giggled.



"We haven't even hit the top of my cheesyness." He grinned at her.



"Oh god my parent's will be so pissed." Stephanie looked at the watch on Jeff's wrist.



"I have so much damage control to do." Stephanie sighed.



"Well then don't do it." Jeff said.



"What?" Stephanie said looking at him incredulously.



"Spend today with me." Jeff suggested. "You're already in enough trouble."



"Well." Stephanie mulled it over. Her mother's enraged face struck her and she smiled.



"Ok." A small grin covered her face.



"Well then how about breakfast." Jeff held out his hand to her and she grasped it letting him pull her up. Her body briefly touched hers as she stood. He went to let go of her hand but she intertwined her fingers with his and smiled up at him. He grinned down at her and lead her up the ramp to the just opening boardwalk.



"You know I haven't had waffles in the longest time." Stephanie told Jeff as a petite waitress placed their food in front of them.



"Seriously?" Jeff asked pulling out a bottle of ketchup from the basket placed in the middle of the table.



"Yeah.my nanny used to make them all the time until my mother fired her for religious reasons." Stephanie said dousing her 3 waffles in syrup.



"Religious reasons?" Jeff raised an eyebrow before splattering ketchup on his scrambled eggs. Stephanie looked at him like he was insane then laughed a little.



"Well, see, she was wiccan." Stephanie said. "I mean not to say that I wouldn't blame my mother for what she did then but my nanny was an earth child or so they call them. She taught me how to listen to the wind and realize the life around me. She told me I was a water child and that when ever I'd be near water my heart would calm and my life would still like a perfect painting."



"That's amazing." Jeff said after swallowing a bite full of his eggs.



"Well she was with me until I turned 14 my mother though that she was turning me into a witch and told her to leave or she'd have her arrested for trying to start a cult full of children. So she left one day and I never saw her again." Stephanie said soleomly as she began chomping on her waffles.



"So tell me about your brother." Stephanie said after they finished their meal and were preparing to leave.



"There are things about him that I don't even want to know." Jeff laughed a little.



"Well?" Stephanie questioned linking her arm through her own.



"What's there to say he's in prison." Jeff muttered.



"There must be something about him that brings a little bit of happiness." Stephanie said.



"Well.just forget it.it's none of your concern anyway." Jeff stated and was instantly sorry when he saw the expression form upon her face.



"Oh." Stephanie whispered silently.



"Stephanie.I didn't mean." Jeff started but she walked away and looked over the wooden rail. Her blue eyes gleamed as she looked at the blue waves crashing down on the shore and pounding at the rocks.



"It hurts." Jeff said coming up behind her.



"He's always been there for me.protected me and my sister been Captain's first mate." Jeff sighed.



"Then in a single moment before he could really even start his life and live his dreams he threw it away for someone who now doesn't even love him." Jeff bit his lip.



"I miss him. I looked up to him. He was going to be a lawyer you know..he'd done his years at Duke University..he was accepted to Harvard Law.. but then he was just cut off from it." Jeff shook his head and fought back emotions that he'd tried so hard to leave laying dormant.



"Captain?" Stephanie asked looking at him. He was hurting she needed for him to just smile once.



"That's what we call dad.he was in the marines." Jeff laughed at how the name came to be.



"I have an idea." Stephanie said.



"And that is?" Jeff asked.



"How about we quit mopping around about our dreary little lives and have some fun.good honest..silly, weird, outlandish fun." Stephanie suggested.



"That was the whole idea of the day wasn't it?" Jeff smiled.



"Then lets do it." Stephanie raised an eyebrow and he grinned devilishly.



"Last one to the Funnel Cake stand pays." Jeff stuck his tongue out at her as she began removing her expensive shoes and began running after him desperately trying to catch up.



Well???? Any takers?? Likers????? Lurkers?!?!?! * Whistles * oooooook!!!!!!
