Kelsie and Craig arrived in Sechelt in their rented jeep. Craig looked out the window, and saw how beautiful the scenery that laid around them, and loved it. In Toronto there wasn't this much nature, or beautiful view's. Now this was like heaven on earth he thought.
"I can see why you loved it here so much," he said still looking out the window while she drove.
"Wait until you see where I use to live in Halfmoon Bay, it's got even more nature around you."
"So where are we staying?" putting his hand on hers that was on the stick shift.
"At the Bay Inn, the nicest place to stay in town."
"Sounds good to me, as long as I'm with you I should be great," he said making her smile.
As they approached the inn, Kelsie felt a little weird, as if something wasn't right. She just couldn't figure out what so she just brushed it off. She didn't want to spoil her time here.
Craig grabbed their suitcase from the back, while Kelsie went to check in.
"Hi, I have a room for two under the name Kelsie Fitzgerald."
"One moment please," the receptionist, said typing it into the computer. "Yes here we are. You're in room 217."
Handing her the key, "Thanks."
Kelsie meets Craig by the elevator, "You need any help?"
"No I'm fine," leaning in for a kiss.
When they got into the room Craig shut the door, and grabbed Kelsie around the waist, and crushed his lips on hers, slowly walking her to the bed. Once at the bed he pushed her gently on the bed, and then crawled on top of her, and began kissing her neck.
When he moved his hand down her body to her inner thigh Kelsie moved from underneath him. "It's time for you to explore this place."
"I was already on my way to explore my girlfriend a little," coming closer to her again.
"Not right now your not," she laughed. "Now grab your camera. I know where you can get some nice shots."
A little disappointed he got up off the bed, "Alright if we do this now then I want to finish where I left off," kissing her neck, "when we get back." He then went over and grabbed his camera out of his bag.
"Maybe," giving him a sweet smile. "If I feel a little generous."
"I don't like it when you tease me," he pouted.
"Oh poor baby," she said as they walked out the door.
When they got outside the inn, "So where is this place?"
"Right in the front of you," pointing at the bay that was before them. "We can walk down the path and see if you get inspired.
Craig pulled Kelsie down the path, "You're going to have to pose you know."
"Okay, just tell me what you want me to do," pulling him down the stairs, down to the beach.
After spending sometime taking pictures Kelsie took Craig to a near by coffee shop. As they approached the shop, Craig had Kelsie on his back.
Someone seen them approaching the shop, and he had sadness in his eyes. The thought of Kelsie been with someone other them him hurt. Why hadn't he told her when he had the chance, before they got too close? Life hasn't been fair to him this past year. He saw how happy she looked in his arms. Well at least she was happy he thought. He left out the other door before Kelsie able to spot him.
Getting off Craig's back, "You're going to have to give me copies of those photos."
"You got it," grabbing a hold of her hand.
"What do you want?"
"Ice Latte."
"Sounds good!" Turns her head to order, "Can we have two ice lattes."
"Where to now?" Craig asked as they walked out of the shop.
"How about I show you where I went to school?"
"Is it in walking distance?"
"The thing you need to know about this place is everywhere is within walking distance."
"I guess you weren't exaggerating when you said it was a small town."
"Nope, trust me it can be nice at times, but other times it can be bad, like for rumors and all."
"So where is this school?"
"Up that hill," she pointed. "It's hidden by all those trees."
Looking at how high the hill was he was kind of dreading having to climb up it. Maybe it wasn't the best idea of his.
They were sitting on the bluff at the school when Kelsie got a phone call. She at first didn't want to answer it because she was loved just sitting there in Craig's arms, and didn't want to be bothered. But then thought what the heck, they would have more time to be alone anyway she got up to answer it, "Hello."
"Hey girl I heard you were in town," Tanya said having heard it from a friend who had saw her, "So when did you get in?"
"This morning, where are you?"
"I'm at Steve's, with a couple of people. He's having BBQ and pool party."
"That's kewl! Did your source tell you that I brought my boyfriend?"
"Yes, and I get to finally meet him, since I've heard so much about him."
"Yeah he wants to meet you guys too," getting a little nervous about what they may think about him.
"Why don't you come over?"
"Okay, how about in half an hour."
"Sounds good!"
"Okay, see you then, bye."
"Bye."
Kelsie came up to Craig while he knelt down taking photos of the beautiful view of the town. He looked so into it, she kind of hated to bother him while he was so into his work.
"Craig."
"Yeah Hun," looking over at her.
"That was Tanya; Steve's having a little get together now, and wants us to come over so they can meet you."
Getting up, grabbing her arm, helping walking her off the bluff through the bushes, "So, let's go."
"Alright, but we have to go get out bathing suits from the Inn and the car. Steve lives in West Sechelt."
Kelsie and Craig head through the side of the house to the backyard, to find about ten other people in the back. They were all laughing having a great time.
Abby came running towards her, "Kelsie!"
"Abby," hugging each other. "How are you?"
"Great, Steve and I are now an item," she said so giddy.
"Really, that's so great!" happy that it finally happened, after everyone knew they were right for each other.
Abby walks up to Craig, "So you must be the infamous Craig?"
"Yes, what did she tell you about me?" curios to what she would have said to get a nickname like that.
"Well that you're very talented, a total sweetheart, and very HOT"
Blushing, "She did, did she. Well I think she is all the above too!" Pulling her into his arms and giving her a kiss.
Steve came and put his arm around Abby's waist, "Well you treat her right then, because she deserves only the best."
The next week she spent hanging out with her friends, catching up with their lives. She didn't think she missed this place that much! What she didn't know was that someone had been watching her and Craig together whenever they came around town. This guy couldn't help it he was just needed to see her, to be able to see her beautiful smile again. He couldn't go up to her because he was afraid what she would say. In addition, he wanted just wanted to see her happy which she really seemed to be, so just to watch her with him was okay.
Craig and Kelsie were at the Lighthouse Bistro eating dinner. Kelsie needed to use the washroom. She slowly got up and walked towards the bathroom, she wasn't paying any attention where she was going, and ended up bumping into someone. It caused her to lose balance, as she started to tip over he caught her in his arms.
Kelsie looked up at his face and screamed right before she fainted.
He caressed her cheek, "Kels, wake up."
Craig heard the scream, and came around the corner to see her in the arms of another. His eyes began to flare, "What's going on here?" That's when Craig recognized who it was, and his eye widened in shock.
