1 Year Ago (Birthday Night):
I think that this night may very well have been better than the day it followed. No sooner did the stars show their blueish-white, twinkling eyes did Jak show up at my door. He came wearing a white tunic, blue pants and a brown belt, all of which clung to his body and very nicely showed off each and every muscle in his gorgeous body.
After having invited him in after staring at him for a moment, I showed him to the living room and asked him to wait a moment prior to our hike into the forest. By the way, obviously, we both enjoy the night to no extent.
I ran up to my room and grabbed a heavier tunic, which I very quickly donned, and my lantern. You never know when you might actually need to see where you are about to step at night.
I carefully walked down the3 stairs and back into the living room where Jak was waiting patiently and said, "Ready when you are, Babe." Jak stood up and grabbed my hand and we both set off across the village and toward the farm on the other stretch of the beach. Pas the farm is where the forest finally starts.
As we passed the farm, we passed through a kind of natural gateway which signified the beginning of the forest. The natural gateway of which I speak is shaped like an arch made of rock.
As we pass through the arch, I realized for the first time that night that Jak was carrying a little basket. I looked at him and asked, "What's in the basket, Babe?" He told me, "You must wait, for it's a surprise. I will show you once we get to where I wish to take you. We're almost there, Dax."
I closed my mouth and followed Jak patiently while I contained the excitement inside me. After about five more minutes, we reached the edge of a river which started under an outcropping of rocks and ran into the ocean. Jak jumped over the river, while I walked through it, and he led me under the outcropping and up to the most awesome waterfall that I had ever seen.
As we neared the waterfall, Jak finally opened the little basked that he had brought with us and pulled out a green and white checked blanket which he laid out on the sand next to the waterfall. As he reached back into the basket, Jak asked me in jest, "You said you wanted a party for two, right, Guy?" I nodded happily and began to help him unpack the basket.
After a few minutes we had unpacked the basket completely and I lit my lantern. On the blanket, we had ourselves and various food items. As we indulged in the food, we began to discuss things that we wanted to do in our lives. Jak wanted to visit Lurker Island and I wanted to explore the forest.
As we discusses what we wanted to do in our lives, we wound up getting mildly intoxicated off of a flower near us. Once we were fully intoxicated by the flower, we disrobed and started to swim in the river. After about an hour, one thing led to another and we wound up back at my place where Jak spent the night with me.
The next morning I woke up to a new sound and alone. I thought that he had awoken prior to me and gone back to his parent's house when I heard his voice from the kitchen downstairs, "Yo, Dax, you want some breakfast? I fried some fish and eggs for you." The new sound that I woke to wasn't really a new sound after all, but instead, and old sound from a new perspective.
