So I could't post it and i appologise. I made it longer than the other chapters to try to make it up to you. Well sorry for rambling, on to the story!
Chapter 3
Kate woke up to the smell of something good coming from downstairs. She glanced at the clock and saw it was 9:28. She usually only slept till 8:00 at the latest. She found her way downstairs and into the kitchen to find Tony making breakfast.
"Morning Sleepyhead" Tony said smiling at Kate.
"Morning" Kate said sitting at the kitchen table. "What are you making Tony? It smells good."
"I am making bacon, eggs, and toast." Tony said matter-of-factly.
"Sounds good, I am starving." Kate said.
Tony brought her a plate with bacon, eggs, and a piece of toast. He went and got himself a plate and sat down next to her. From the kitchen table they had a great view of the lake. It was shimmering because of the way the sun reflected off of it. Kate also noticed that not only was there a pier in the water but there was also a boat. It wasn't an old boat either, it looked very new.
They both finished up their breakfast rather quickly. Kate put her plate in the sink and headed up stairs. She was only in her pajamas and decided it would be best if she got dressed.
Kate went to her room and decided to put on her swimming suit. Then she put on a pair of shorts and a tank top. She threw her wavy hair up into a pony tail and headed back downstairs.
She found Tony sitting on the couch watching some show she had never even heard of. "So do you want to go fishing?" Tony asked curiously.
"Uh, sure." Kate answered with a little hesitation.
"Wait; don't tell me you have never been fishing before?" Tony said almost laughing.
"I have never gone fishing before and I don't know how." Kate said almost embarrassed.
"That's alright, it's easy and I'll teach you if you're having a lot of trouble with it. Tony said.
"Ok, let's go." Kate said while heading towards the sliding door. Tony followed her. Kate walked down all the deck stairs and was about to head down the second flight of stairs that lead to the beach when Tony stopped her. "Hang on a second; I got to go grab some fishing poles out of the shed."
Tony walked through the yard on the side of the cabin to a little shed. Kate had failed to notice last night when they got there. It had been really dark and she had been really tired.
Tony came back with two fishing poles and a tackle box, and headed down to the beach, with Kate right behind him. They reached the boat that was docked to the pier and Tony jumped in and set the fishing poles and the tackle box down.
Kate went to step in, the boat rocked and she fell backwards; right into Tony's arms. Lucky thing he was there or she would have been swimming with the fish.
"Watch your step." Tony said while helping Kate back to a standing position.
"Yeah" Kate said trying to find her voice as she sat down on one of the boat seats, while Tony started the motor. Tony unhooked the boat from the pier and started to head across the lake.
Kate hadn't noticed it before but the lake had two different sides that were separated by a little sand bar in the middle of them, and a channel that connected them.
Once Tony reached the spot of the lake he thought was a good fishing spot, he let down the boat's anchor. He stood up, took one of the fishing poles and put a leach on it. Kate just sat there and watched him in disgust.
"Eww, Tony how can you touch those things? Kate asked still in disgust.
"Well, they're actually not that bad." Tony said handing her the fishing pole.
When Tony gave Kate the fishing she pole she stood up. Kate was still confused as to what she was supposed to do exactly. I mean sure, she had seen people fish before but she didn't know the first thing about it. While she was trying to decide what to do first Tony had already put a leach on his fishing pole and had cast it out into the water.
Kate saw him cast his fishing pole so she decided to follow the same procedure. She hit the little cast button, brought her right arm to her left, then brought it out again, and let go off the button. Instead of it flying far out into the water like Tony it didn't even go as far as leaving the boat. It landed right in front of her.
Tony watched her as she did this, and then focused on his fishing assuming she might figure it out on her own. She wasn't the type that liked to have other people help. Kate tried this same thing several times before finally giving up and when she did she let out a sigh.
Tony looked over at her and said "Do you need some help?"
"Yes, please." Kate said with her eyes pleading. Tony loved that look in a woman.
With that being said Tony set down his fishing pole and walked over the Kate.
"Ok, first reel it in" Tony began. So Kate reeled the line in.
Tony, who was behind Kate, put his arms and hands around Kate's arms and hands so he could show her what to do next. Kate trembled at his touch but then relaxed. She liked the feel of his arms around her.
"Now, you push this button, swing the pole over here, and now let it." Tony said. Kate did that with his help and sure enough she got it out in the water this time.
"Good, now try that on your own." Tony said as he put his hands back down to his own sides. So Kate did as Tony told her and to her surprise she actually got it in the water herself this time.
Tony smiled at her accomplishment although he wouldn't have minded putting his arms around her again to help her. He went back to his fishing pole and started fishing again.
Kate was fishing too; but on auto pilot. She was thinking about Tony. He seemed to be different, but in a good way. She also couldn't stop think about his arms around her. And he was being, well sweet. "Oh my God, did I just call Tony sweet? But I didn't mean it like that. Oh, who am I kidding I totally meant it like that. This can't be happening. I think I have a crush on Tony."
Kate would have continued this whole argument with herself in her head but she was interrupted by a tug on her pole. She snapped out of her daze and started reeling the pole. She kept reeling and the fish kept tugging, but the fish was defiantly no match for Kate. She got it up to the boat and lifted it out of the water. She was not sure what to do next so she just stood there until Tony came over and took the fish off the line for her.
"Wow Kate, your first fish. Congratulations!" Tony exclaimed as if Kate was on a game show and had won a prize.
"Thanks Tony." Kate said.
Tony threw the fish back into the water. Kate just stood there staring at the fishing pole just like the first time that she had seen it. Only this time it wasn't because she didn't know what she was doing, but she didn't have any bait.
"Tony, can you put a leach on for me? I don't want to touch them." Kate pleaded.
"Sure" Tony said while grabbing a leach. He put it on her fishing pole and they both continued fishing.
They fished for a couple hours and between the two of them they had caught 11 fish. Tony decided they fished enough for one day and headed into shore. He was getting sort of hungry anyways. When they got into shore they headed up to the cabin for lunch.
I thank you all for the great reviews! I really appriciate them:-) Im not sure when i will be able to post the next chapter because i am going to be really busy for the next couple of days. But i will try my best to squeeze writing the next chapter in, but im not making any promises. I probably will have the next chapter up before the week is over.
