Wild Raspberries Ch 5
The morning sun warmed Wufei's face as he woke. Out the window the night stars had been replaced by the rising sun. He breathed in the cool air and looked around the room. It looked much different in the daylight. Now he could clearly see the dust that covered everything. There were their foot prints from the night before, and the hand prints on the cabinet doors where Sally was looking around. He shifted his head to view the rest of the room. His eyes immediately landed on the other bed, where Sally was suppose to be. But the bed was neat and tidy. Sleeping bag folded neatly at the bottom.
Wufei wiped the counter top again with the once white cleaning rag. He was almost finished with the kitchen when Sally entered.
"You started without me." she said picking up another rag from the soapy water in the sink.
"Had to do something." he stated, "Have a good walk?"
Sally grabbed the windex and moved to the windows near the beds, "Ya, but everything has grown up so much it's easy to get lost. But its still a beautiful place... Could you hand me that?" she asked waving at the paper-towel.
He grabbed it from the counter top and tossed. Sally caught it with one hand, unwrapped a few squares off the role and tossed it back where Wufei put it back to its original place on the counter top.
"Sally if the onna who lived here died a while ago, who does this place belong to now?"
"Me."
"What?"
Sally laughed and moved to the next window, "She left this place to me in her wile."
Wufei and Sally finished cleaning the little two room cabin of the years of dust buildup, and cobwebs before moving outside. The grass was tall and green, just the way it was going to be staying since neither had a lawnmower handy. Trees were on one side of the building wile the other side faced a field dotted with butter cups and dandy lions.
To the left of the small house in the woods dark bushes and long thorned looking vines wound themselfs together in menacing knots. Partly shadowed by the tall trees they didn't draw attention unless you knew what was really there. What was hidden in the tangle of vines and long grasses.
They finished with the outside windows and put the cleaning supplies away before getting ready to head into town for the day. They had to pick up some supplies for their stay. Food and some camping gear like matches for the fire pit they were going to build that night.
The town was small. A few shops and a grocers store was all that was needed to support the population, which maxed at about five hundred. The people were friendly at every corner, and the shop owners would go out of their way to accommodate anyone new in hopes they buy just a little more. The streets were clean and smelled of the pine forest around it. They finished their business around town and headed back to the cabin.
Sally wrapped her arms around Wufei's waist and rested her head on his back as they drove down the dirt path. At first the sudden contact made him stiff and unsure what to do. But after a moment he relaxed and leaned back against her enjoying the unexpected contact. The trees and plants drifted by as he slowed the bike in a effort to keep her that close a little longer.
'I don't want to ruin my bike.. Ya that's it...' he thought..
TBC....
There you have it people! I know its been a while... ok more then a while, really. But here it is finally. God I'm tired :P good night people!
