Chapter 11: Day 2
I felt cool hands rest on my side and start to shake me. My eyes fluttered open to be greeted with the red numbers on the alarm clock flashing 5:00 in my face. I let out a sigh, it was way to early to get up. I finally turn over to look at who was violently shaking me at such an early hour.
"Morning." Vaughn smiled down from the side of the bed and kissed my forehead sweetly.
"Vaughn it's not morning it's not even light out. Let me go back to sleep." I pleaded with him as I pulled the covers over my head. He quickly reached down and pulled them off of me and onto the floor. Offering me his hands, "Come on Syd, I promise this will be worth it."
After giving him a pouty face didn't waver him I grabbed his hands and he pulled me from my comfortable position in the bed. Vaughn gave me a robe to put on and then he supported me with his arm around my waist as I heavily leaned on him. "Where are we going?" I mumble as he starts to lead me somewhere.
We stop and Vaughn opens a door to the porch. The cool air rushes past my face and I immediately start to shutter. Vaughn pulls me closer to him as we walk over to the comfortable wicker porch love seat. He helped me to sit down and then he ran back inside for a moment. I let out a yawn before I wiped my eyes and started to try to focus.
Vaughn came back out a minute later with a blanket in hand. He took a seat beside me and placed the blanket over our laps. Resting his arm over my shoulders I cuddled close to him.
"So now can you please tell me why you woke me up at this ungodly hour and taken me outside in this cold weather just to sit in the dark." as I rambled Vaughn just turned his attention from me towards the sky in front of us and pointed yonder.
"That's why." He spoke barely above a whisper as he gazed off towards the ocean in astonishment. Confused, I turned to look as well at the scene. I found the most beautiful view ahead.
The rising sun on the horizon was enlightening the clear blue ocean. The water's surface sparkled from the sun's rays and it looked as if an angel was looking over it. The sky above was a beautiful shade of purples and oranges with not a cloud to cover its beauty.
"It's amazing. It looks like the heavens are shining down on it." I say baffled at the site.
I feel Vaughn nod his head on top of my own. We enjoyed just sitting there in the silence for a while just watching the sunrise. When the sun had risen and the sky began to turn to it's normal blue I sat up. "Thank you for waking me up to see this, even with my slight resistance."
"Slight? I don't call pulling the covers over your head and whining slight." he says mockingly with a grin.
"okay, maybe a little more than slight." I admit sheepishly.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We had gone inside soon after to shower and change. I went back to sleep for a little while, while Vaughn showered. Once he was out and dressed he offered to start some breakfast for both of us. I happily agreed once I heard my stomach grumble audibly.
I soon enough rose from bed and took a warm shower myself. I would have stayed in there longer if it weren't for the wonderfully welcoming smell of bacon on the stove. I climbed out of the shower, combed my hair down nicely and then threw on my comfortable white tank top with a pair of denim shorts with my string bikini beneath.
Coming out I saw the table filled with scrumptious delights Vaughn had made. Two table settings were set across from each other. Vaughn walked over to my seat and pulled it out for me. I delightedly smiled and obliged by taking the offered seat. Vaughn took the seat across from me and we both dug in to the plates of bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns and orange juice.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We strolled down to the beach with a blanket and a small picnic basket later that day. Setting our things up on the sandy beach we lay in the hot sun together. We conversed shortly as we lay there baking in the sun, about nothing important really just about our plans for our vacation together.
After our tanning I was too hot to lay there any longer. "I'm hot." I bickered as I stood up and brushed the sand that had stuck to me, off of me.
"Oh yeah you are." Vaughn says with a whistle. He reached up and grabbed my arm, pulling me down onto his lap. We both giggled until we were silenced by a sweet kiss. After a minute I pushed him away and stood up. I slid off my denim shorts leaving me in just my bikini. "I'm going to cool off in the water. Coming?"
Vaughn thinks and then he too gets up. Suddenly, though he grabs me up in his arms and runs to the edge of the beach where the tide washes over your feet, twirling us around. I leaned my head back over his arm, to feel the wind in my flowing hair. Just as I was getting comfortable though he suddenly throws me away into the water. I quickly recover though and pull him in the cold, ocean water as well.
I start to laugh at his shocked expression. His eyes lock with mine and I quickly scramble out of his reach and swim away. We chased each other for a little while until he caught up with me, enveloping me in his arms. "I got'cha!" he exclaimed gleefully.
"I let you catch me." I say not willing to give up.
"Sure you did!?!" he says with a grin. He starts to finger with the ties of my bikini top. I start to pull away, "Woaw, not here buddy."
"Not into skinny dipping?" I raise an eyebrow, "What are we? 17?"
"Depends..."
I shake my head. I kiss him sweetly on the lips. "Okay, you first. Take your trunks off." I say to him suggestively as I twiddle with my own suit. He smiles and reaches down, taking his shorts off. He held them up after and I took them.
"Okay, your turn." He says watching me intently. "Do you want any help?" he offers. I smile, leaning in to whisper. "well don't you look sexy." as I reach down and give him a membrane message. He stiffens a little and I pull back laughing and quickly swim away with his suit in hand.
I hear him yelling my way for me to come back but I don't even look back. I get out of the water first and watch him squirming from the beach. He was now closer to the shore but still far enough that the water was up to his abdomen. I waved his short in front of him teasingly and we both were laughing. I just laid back down on my beach towel and basked in the sun as Vaughn begged.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Later we were resting in the house before we planed to leave for dinner. Vaughn at first tried to act mad at me for the day's earlier events but that didn't last long. Now we were playing cards on the patio table. Just a friendly game of 'Go Fish' but it was intense. We both wore our poker faces to give nothing away; staring each other down.
When I was loosing and would need some help I'd play footsies with him under the table. He'd then kind of flash me his cards so I'd know what to ask for. From a spectators view it must have looked really cute and it was.
After I won 'Go Fish' (of course) we both went inside and changed for dinner. We agreed though when we got home we'd play a game of strip poker before going to bed. At least there was something to look forward too! I even based my outfit on our later activities. I put on a simple, pale yellow sundress zipping up in the back finished off with a necklace and pair of sandals.
Vaughn decided on a sharp pair of kakis and a green sweater that brought out his brilliant, green eyes.
We decided to just take a walk down the boardwalk and see what types of places were there before we picked one out. We walked arm in arm under the streamed lights that lit the sidewalk through the night's darkness. The pier was filled with couples, families, and friends all enjoying themselves; talking, eating, and even dancing. A place near by, "Delightful Delicacies" looked nice so we chose to eat there.
We were seated outside on the pier. The sounds of soft dancing music could be heard from the dancing floor along with the sounds of laughter from the ones dancing. The table was white with a clear glass top covered by a dark red tablecloth. Two candles were lit beside the flower centerpiece on the table.
Vaughn was such a gentleman, seating me before himself. The waitress brought two wine glasses out along with the finest wine they had to start off the evening.
Skimming through the menus I couldn't decide from the many delicacies.
"So do you see something you like?" Vaughn asks putting down his menu.
I glance over mine, at him. "It's not a problem of deciding what looks good, it's picking only one." I explain my dilemma but he treats it as no big deal.
"Just get it all then." Vaughn explains with a smile at my shocked face.
"What?"
"You said it looked good but you couldn't choose just one, so get them all. Which ones look good to you?" Vaughn asks.
I still am skeptical but I play along, looking back down at the menu. "Shru's shrimp, the spaghetti and meat balls, chicken Caesar salad, and even the steak and potatoes sound great!" Vaughn starts to laugh, "What?"
He starts to shake his head, "No, no, this is good." He assures me. "Wow though, you do have a wide range of likings." I just smile sheepishly because I know it's true, when I'm hungry I'll eat almost anything. "Okay so we'll get all this..."
"No Vaughn, really, that's sweet of you and all but I can't eat all of that."
Our eyes lock and he smiles, "I'll help." That simple statement makes me blush, he's the greatest guy ever. "So anyway what about to drink?" I pause and he takes the opportunity to lighten the mood, "Do you have a few favorites there too?"
"Ha,Ha." I mock and kick him under the table playfully. "No I think I'll just have a water."
He nods, "Okay." The waitress came back shortly after and Vaughn sure did order all that food, my water, and a water for himself. I couldn't believe it but I guess I shouldn't be shocked he'd do anything for me, and I the same for him.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
After about 20 more minutes of small talk and enjoyment our food arrived, that's right, each and every plate of the food we'd ordered. I didn't know where to start so I decided to start with the pasta. I tried it first and it was great.
"Uummmm, try this." I tell Vaughn as I offer him a bite of twirled pasta on my fork. He leans forward and places his mouth over the fork. He swallows it and then grabs his own fork to get some more. We both keep picking at the sweet, angel hair pasta. Eventually though our forks come across the same string of pasta and as we slurp it in we notice we've got the same piece. Instead of biting it though we let our mouths come together. And smiling like fools we share a short, sweet kiss.
It was a picture perfect moment from the movies. After that though we were finished with the pasta. It was time to try the next plate. Each time it was the same; neither of us used our individual plates. We rather ate right off the serving platter sometimes he'd even feed me and other times I'd feed him. We laughed and enjoyed each moment.
All that was left to finish off the night out was to dance. Sure enough when our plates were cleared and the bill paid Vaughn stood up and asked if I'd dance. I placed my hand in his outreached one. The pace of the music was steady and slow just how I wanted it. His gentle hands rested on the small of my back and mine entangled around his neck, with my fingers in his sandy, blond hair.
The song playing didn't matter, nor did the people around us. All that seemed to be heard and seen around us were each other, we were oblivious to all else. He'd whisper in my ear sweet thoughts and I'd just smile into his chest, where my head rested. Our body's seemed to fit perfectly together, and our feet moved side by side, but never collided. It was a match made in heaven.
After we were tired out from dancing and the air began to cool down below comfort level we retired inside.
We had barely stepped into the house before my hands and lips were all over Vaughn. All the lights around were dimmed. I pulled Vaughn's sweater over his head as he raised his arms in the air to help me out. He slipped off his shoes and socks as I kicked my sandals to the side.
I pushed Vaughn down on to the couch. Leaning down I kissed him while fumbling with his shirt buttons to unbutton them. He rested his arms on the back of my thighs, teasing me. I stood up laughing, pulling him up with me. Kissing on and off he managed to find the zipper down the back of my dress and unzip it. It fell to a crumple on the ground and I stepped out of it. We spun around and he pushed me to sit down on the couch. Vaughn pushed his shirt off his shoulders and then climbed on top of me moving us both to lay on the length of the couch. Our lips met and it felt amazing and safe.
