Chapter 12: Day 3
The next morning I woke up on the couch alone. A soft fleece blanket was covering me though. The morning sunlight was streaming through the open living room curtains. Still half asleep I turned over to face the back of the couch so the light wasn't in my face. Suddenly, the smell of bacon and eggs cooking, along with the distinct smell of toast burning made me more aware and awake.
I sat up just enough to peer over the edge of the couch. I smiled at the site before my eyes. Vaughn stood in front of the stove only in his boxers, trying to scramble the eggs with one spatchula and flip the bacon with the other, not to mention pop up the toaster with the burning toast in it. Plates of pancakes and French toast sat on the counter already cooked and set to eat. There were even hash browns defrosting in the microwave.
I let out a chuckle and Vaughn hears me. For the first time he noticed my awake presence. As he looses his concentration to look at me the pan with the bacon suddenly catches fire. The fire alarm gets drift of the smoke and starts to go off. I quickly jump up and jog over to help him.
He shut the stove and put the cover over the pan to put out the fire. I popped up the toast and stopped the microwave. We both start to wave the smoke away from the alarm with our hands. Eventually the alarm does stop and the room is quiet.
Vaughn turns back to me and runs his fingers through his hair before sliding down the cabinets to sit on the floor. I laughed, "So you not exactly an expert cook?" he just rolled his eyes at me.
"I guess you could say that culinary skills aren't my strong point."
"Yeah!" I say extra enthusiastically.
"I was just trying to cook a nice breakfast for the two of us. I had to cook a little bit of everything too since you seem to like a mix of foods." He explains his madness and references my previous night's madness. I playfully slapped him for his dig.
Talk about a guilt trip. Now I felt real bad for my shots at him. "Well thanks for the thought. It was real sweet." I say leaning over and giving him a sweet kiss to show him I meant it. I rested up against him after with my head on his shoulder.
"No I'm sorry. This isn't exactly how I wanted to wake you up, with the fire alarm and all."
"Well it was original!" I point out happily.
He still had a down face like all his plans were ruined. I sat up and spun my leg around to his other side, to stratall him. I wrapped my arms around his neck affectionately. "Listen it's done and over. It was no big deal so now is the time to just relax and laugh at it. Okay baby." I start to plant kisses all over his chest and neck, moving up to his face and finally onto his lips.
"So where do you want to go to breakfast then?" Vaughn asked finally with a smile. I returned his grin.
"Here." I surprised him.
"What? Um, I don't think this." he reaches up and grabs a piece of the burnt toast and started hitting the hard rock, "is eatable."
"Well then I guess we'll have to start over and make breakfast together."
::::::::::::::::::::
I had eventually gotten off of Vaughn and we began to cook. First thing I did was throw all the burnt food in the trash barrel. I gave Vaughn the task of cooking toast, hoping that wouldn't be too difficult. I cooked some eggs and bacon. Vaughn also set the table and poured orange juice in glasses for us each.
When we finally sat down at the table to eat our eatable breakfast it was already eleven. It had become more of a brunch rather than a breakfast.
"I'm stuffed." Vaughn sat back and let out a sigh.
"Me too." I chimed in. "I think I need a run now to burn off all these calories."
"Sounds good to me." Vaughn nodded in agreement.
"We can change and then take a jog around this quaint town. Maybe check out the souvenir shops too." So that's exactly what we did.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Me in my tank top and running shorts, and Vaughn shirtless (yeay!) in shorts, jogged past the pier since we'd already seen all that was around there. We jogged along the walkways in the town. It was so peaceful and nice to just see everyday, normal people walking together. Some families; mothers with their baby's, fathers with their children, and kids walking their pet dogs.
We'd been jogging for about 30 minutes when we reached these streets. There were shops all around so we decided to slow down and start to look around in the shops.
The first shop was actually not even a shop it was rather a tourist souvenir cart on the sidewalk. Vaughn ran across the street to the coffee shop to get us both a mocha latte while I looked around the cart. I purchased a few post cards to send to my family and friends and a disposable camera so I can take pictures to for always remember this trip together.
Vaughn came back with our mocha lattes and we were back on our way. We walked hand in hand down the side walks. We didn't walk in to many shops, mainly just window-shopped. Some shops had bathing suits, some hats and scarves and others just simple clothing outlets. We did stop in at the hat outlet.
There were some nice hats but others were just plane goofy. I grabbed a jesters hat and put that on even topping it off with a little jig. Vaughn just laughed and game over giving me a sweet kiss. "keep looking." He whispered to my ear.
"haha!" We tried a few more caps and hats on only to end up walking out empty handed. We had got a few laughs at least and a picture or two. We walked further into town. Next thing we came across was a fair ground.
Since I was a little girl I luved going to the fair. When I was little too, my mom would bring me and we'd spend whole days walking around, petting the animals, going on the rides, eating cotton candy, and just talking. Vaughn and I stopped by the fair entrance looking in at all the people. Vaughn must have seen my face light up, "You want to go?"
I looked at him and then at the fair. Finally looking back at Vaughn I smiled and nodded, "Yeah." As we walked through I told Vaughn about me going to fairs as a child, and he said he'd try to make this visit just as fun. I assured him no matter what we did I'd have fun but he still was persistent.
We started by buying cotton candy. I hadn't had it in forever it seemed. Just the taste of the soft fluff melting in my mouth and only the sugar pellets left was delicious. Clown's walked the fair grounds with bundles of colorful balloons. Vaughn bought me a big blue balloon; tying it around my wrist so I wouldn't let it adrift either.
Next was the petting zoo. Little children mostly occupied the straw stalls filled with small animals like ducks, chickens, pigs, geese, and lambs. We both put some feed in our hands and sat down on crates. Two lambs slowly approached us and they even started to eat out of our hands. As the lamb ate from my right hand I pet him with my left. It looked like a cloud, and its fur was soft and fluffy as it appeared. Chickens were next to cluck up to us. (hehe!) They didn't eat from our hands but rather just clucked at us. The geese approached too. They looked nice enough so Vaughn dropped his hand down with food in it for the goose. It quickly snapped at him though.
I let out a laugh, and he gave me a look. "Come on Vaughn you've been kicked, punched, and even shot by the world's most dangerous villains and you're whining over a goose bite?"
He paused, embarrassed. "Well when you put it like that..." I laughed even more and kissed him sweetly.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Since we'd gotten the idea that the petting zoo animals didn't really like us we decided to go over to the pony stables. It was funny, most of the people in line for the pony's were little children and then Vaughn and I just stepped in line. Vaughn attempted to shrink to look shorter and fit in but gave up when even flat on his claves he was taller than the children.
After getting kicked out of line because we didn't fit the height guidelines we went over to the Farris wheel. This was the whole reason I like to come to the fair; so I can ride the Farris wheel.
We climbed in the swaying yellow seat. The wheel shifted for people to load in the next seat. Eventually we were stopped at the top and you could see everything. A gust of wind blew by us and the seat swayed, I out of instinct grabbed on to the side rail and wrapped my other arm around Vaughn's. He smiled at me and I just gave him a look not to even start.
When all the seats were filled the wheel started to turn slowly while circus music played softly. We started to chat while we looked around all the fair seeing the mass of people walking, laughing, and just having a great time playing games, winning prizes, buying balloons, and eating carnival food.
"So you didn't seem to like when the seat rattled up at the top. Don't tell me you can parachute off the tops of buildings and race through flaming buildings but you're afraid of a carnival ride?" Vaughn said shortly after the incident.
"No!!" I say defensively. "For your information I'm not scared, I luv this ride. The only reason I grabbed the rail was because I wasn't expecting the ride to shake so much and it was natural instinct, it commonly is you know when you're in this profession." I defended.
He just laughed and wrapped his arm around my shoulders pulling me close, "Don't worry I'll keep you safe."
"Thank you." I say relieved. So I don't really like rides like this with machines. I'd rather be climbing or something, where I'm in control of my destiny, but who needs to know that. Vaughn's sweet though and doesn't need to know why just that he can help. I snuggle closer and he kisses the top of my head.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
After the ride and a few more laps around playing games and winning cute stuffed animals we went back to the beach house. We both cuddled up in bed with comfy blankets and the giraffe stuffed animal Vaughn won me. We put on the TV and flipped to a comedy show.
"I feel nauseous." I mumbled. "I think I had too much cotton candy."
He let out a chuckle. "Poor baby. Here, turn over." I did as he asked and shifted from lying on his chest to lying on my back beside him. He reached down and pulled up the bottom of my shirt over my stomach. I reached down and grabbed his hand, "Not now Vaughn!"
He smiled, "As much as I'd love to, that's not what I was thinking, so just lay back and relax." After a skeptical glare I did as he asked. Vaughn went back to what he was doing. He pushed my shirt above my stomach and then put his soft hand on my bare stomach and started to rub it softly.
I turned my head to look at his face. I smiled lightly. "Thanks." I whispered. I soon shut my eyes and just concentrated on Vaughn's gentle, comforting touch to relax and settle my stomach. Soon enough his sweet motion worked and settled not only my stomach but myself. I dosed off quickly and forgot about not feeling well. Vaughn made me forget it all and his mere presence comforted me.

***sorry I know it's been awhile. Plz stay with me I'm back in school full force so it'll take me longer for new chapters.
