Chapter 10: Day 1
Not five minutes later we arrived at a small, white, decked house right on the beach sand. It was so beautiful though I'm sure I didn't capture it's full essence in the dark. Looking over at the water I couldn't see the beach sand but I could see the ocean's waves crashing onto the rocks.
Vaughn parked the car and then we both grabbed our luggage out of the back of the car. Vaughn gave me the key to the front door and he carried my bags in for me. I led the way up the wooden steps. Holding the door open, he passed inside with the luggage.
Once inside I am surrounded by the night's moonlight streaming in through the many open windows along the walls. A light breeze circulated through the house making it very comfortable. I took a moment to just close my eyes and feel the serenity that it gives me. With the touch of two warm arms around my waist I reopen my eyes.
I feel a soft kiss touch the top of my head. I smile and then rest my arms around his. "It's so beautiful." I say taking a deep breath and looking around the spacious beach house. He loosens his grip around me and he walks around in front of me. Holding my hand he leads me through the house. "If you think this is beautiful, come see this view."
We walk out of the house and onto a small balcony over looking the beach. Vaughn takes a seat on one of the lounge chairs placed on the balcony and then opens his arms motioning me to join him. I happily comply and take a seat on his lap. "In the morning, before the sun rises, when the sky is pinkish and the sun comes over the horizon it'll be an even more beautiful view."
I smile, already picturing it in my mind. "Tomorrow we'll watch it." I told him decisively. We both agree and then reside back inside. It wasn't that late so we decided we'd first get some dinner and then maybe watch a movie or something before going to sleep, or at least to bed. Hehe!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We stood by the kitchen counter determining what we were going to eat. There was nothing in the cupboards so we'd have to order in since we were to tired to get fancied up and go out.
We looked through some local brochures lying around on the coffee table. There were many places along the boardwalk to eat but few delivered. There was one local pizzeria that did though so we mutually decided that would due for tonight.
"Tomorrow I promise we'll go somewhere fancy!" Vaughn promised, sorry that tonight we were only doing pizza.
"It doesn't matter to me. Pizza is as good as anything." I reassure him.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
About 20min. later a pizza boy delivered our large Hawaiian pizza. We sat together on the couch with the pizza and plates on the coffee table. Vaughn had dimmed the lights and lit candles around the room to give it a romantic atmosphere. I held two glasses in my hands as Vaughn poured wine in them. I handed Vaughn his glass and we both sat back comfortably.
"Let's make a toast." Vaughn suggested, turning my way and holding his glass up. I nodded in agreement, "but to what?" I ask.
"To this." Vaughn says motioning all around us. "And for me being able to spend four wonderful days with the most gorgeous woman I know." I blush sheepishly at his comment. I do raise my glass though and we cheer to it.
Vaughn opens the steamy pizza box. "So what kind of pizza did we get again?"
"Hawaiian." I see Vaughn make a weird face. "Come on I know you'll love it. Besides it fits our vacation mood so how could we eat anything else. Try it." I push, raising a piece of the steaming pizza, with ham and pineapple topping, to his lips.
Vaughn gives me one last skeptical glance before taking a bite. I watch attentively for his response and am pleased when I see him smile, "Not bad."
"Told you!" I say in a 'I told you so' tone. I hand him that piece and I grab one of my own. As we ate I flipped on a movie for us to cuddle up too. I saw 'Serendipity' on and I immediately loudened the TV and paid close attention. "I love this movie!" I told Vaughn excitedly!
By the end of the night the pizza box was empty, the wine bottle doused, and me tightly secured in Vaughn's arms. It was heaven. At the movie's end my eyes were filled with tears.
"oh don't turn into a girly-girl on me now." Vaughn says noticing me crying as the two in the movie kiss.
"But it's just such a sweet movie!" I say as I try to calm my emotions. The credits for the movie start to roll and I shut the TV. I can see Vaughn roll his eyes at me and I turn in his arms to face him. "What don't you believe in fate?"
His brow furrowed in concentration, a smile appeared on his face after though and he glowed like he had hit the jackpot. He reached his gentle hand up and began to caress my cheek. "Yeah I do. Or at least since you came into my life." He leaned in close and kissed me softly on the lips. "How can I not believe in it? Fate is what brought you into my life and I couldn't be more appreciative." I smiled and kissed him back passionately.
As the kiss deepened we managed to maneuver ourselves from the living room into the master bedroom at the end of the hall. The curtains drawn and the door shut left the room lit only enough for us to see each other. I lay with my back on the soft bed sheets and Vaughn covering me with his own body.
I thought right away that as soon as we were in bed together Vaughn would start to do those playful games he had tried to seduce me to earlier but I couldn't have been more wrong. I have to admit too that I was a little saddened. Instead of making love Vaughn just wrapped his arms around me, keeping me warm and I rested my head onto his chest as my pillow. His heartbeat was a soothing lullaby to fall asleep to.
Vaughn whispered comfortingly into my ear, my favorite words, "I love you." Gentle kisses, he placed on the top of my head. Within seconds I'd fallen into a peaceful slumber.
It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
**okay this was pretty short but I've been real busy with traveling to Rhode Island, Indiana, Kentucky, and not to mention all through out New Hampshire for softball. Schools starting up soon too and I have work to do before then. I'll try to keep updating though. So what do you think of the story???
