Chapter Twenty-Two
The next day Cameron and Willy got into the elevator to head to wherever they were going for their honeymoon. Willy pressed one of the many buttons and it took off.
"Willy, that's not the button to go out of the factory." Cameron looked up at him suspiciously.
"I know. We're not going out of the factory."
"Then how will we get to where were going?" Cameron looked confused.
Willy gave her a big smile but said nothing. Soon after the elevator came to a holt. They walked out into a short white hallway with a huge round volt looking door in front of them.
"Julie told me how much you loved the beach. So I put my creative mind to a new challenge. She, Jodie, and Angie helped me out with the idea. The oompa-loompas have been working on it night and day almost none stop. Of course, they are all having a nice rest because they were pretty beat after they finished." Willy made a nervous laugh as he opened the door allowing Cameron to walk in first. She looked at him skeptically. "Go on inside. You'll love it." Willy urged her on. He followed her as she cautiously stepped inside the short tunnel before she immerged in a huge open room.
This wasn't just any room; this was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her entire life. She gasped, frozen in place as she looked around the room. There was a huge island in the middle with palm trees and a small walkway in front her that led to the island. It was surrounded by crystal blue water and she could see colorful fish swimming under the water. Cameron covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh my god! It's beautiful." She looked up above her to see cotton candy clouds flouting in the air along with a huge yellow round candy with light coming out of it as the sun. She looked at the palm trees and noticed that the trunks were made of a swirl of white and dark chocolate and coconuts were actual coconuts and the leaves were green laffy taffy. On the island was a white one room house with a small porch that sat two white lawn chairs and small table. She slowly stepped onto the sand and could feel it shift under her feet. Willy closed the door behind them as he walked to her side.
"The sand...it's made of brown sugar and the water tastes like tropical fruit."
Cameron looked over at him a huge grin on her face. "And the fish are gummy fish, aren't they?"
"Yeah!" Willy said excitedly.
"Willy this is the most amazing thing that anyone has ever done for me." Cameron quickly hugged him, gave him quick kiss on the lips before running across the walk way of sand to reach the small island; Willy quickly followed.
"You like it!"
"I love it! You never sease to amaze me Willy Wonka." Cameron laughed. "I was wondering why you asked me to dress in flip flops, shorts, and t-shirt." She said taking her flip flops off to sink her toes into the brown sugar sand. Willy walked up to her and kissed her passionately on the lips.
"This my sweet chocolate bunny is our honeymoon hideout." He said when they parted.
"Well
if this is our hideout, I forbid you to leave this room the whole
time were here." Cameron dared him.
"Then I guess
you'll just have to keep me occupied, wont you?" Willy grinned
evilly down at her as he made his way up the steps of the porch and
into the small house. Cameron followed as she watched him lean his
cane up against the wall and hang his dress coat and hat on the small
peg by the door.
There was a huge canopy bed in the middle of the room and a dresser drawers to her right. A white night stand sat on each side of the bed and on the left was a doorway that must have been a bathroom. The whole room was in white. On her left there was a small desk with a chair; a couple of books and nick nakes sat on it's smooth surface. The wall to her left and right had small windows covered by white curtains as well as the door.
"You have really out done yourself on this one." She smiled over at Willy.
"I call it dessert island." Willy made a high pitched laugh. She sighed as she collapsed on the huge soft bed.
"This is heaven." She mumbled to herself.
"Not quiet yet." Willy said climbing on top of her to kiss her passionately. "Now it's heaven." He said as he hovered above her lips. She giggled before pulling him down to kiss her again.
Willy rolled over on his back as he and Cameron caught their breath. He could never ever feel as content as he was right now as he looked over at Cameron when she sighed.
"I couldn't ever get tired of you Willy." Cameron laughed as she sat her chin on his chest to look up at him.
"Good! Because your stuck with me." He laughed.
"I'm not complaining." Cameron sat up to kiss him on the lips. Cameron frowned when she heard her stomach growl.
Willy smiled. "It sounds as if someone is hungry." He tickled her stomach under the sheets. Cameron yelped when she felt his fingers tickle her.
"Stop!" She laughed. "Why don't you call for some food? I'm starving." Cameron slowly got up out of the bed and into the bathroom. When she came out dressed in a tank tip and baggy sweatpants an oompa-loompa was sitting a tray of food on the desk. "Thank you! I'm starving." Cameron said as she walked over to the desk.
The oompa-loompa nodded to her with a smile before pointing towards the door.
"Willy's out there?"
The oompa-loompa nodded before walking out and disappearing through the door. Cameron had followed him out but walked over to Willy instead. He was sitting in one of the lawn chairs reading Cameron's book.
"I told myself I was ganna finish this book." Willy said without looking up.
"But I thought you read already." Cameron sat in the chair next to him.
"Well I have to finish it." Willy said matter of factly.
"You gotta eat too." She laughed dragging him out of the chair and into the house so they could eat something. As they ate Cameron looked up at him.
"Can you actually swim in the water?" She asked.
"I guess you could if you wanted to. I'm sure no ones ganna drink it anyway. At least I never meant for anyone too."
"Good!" She said. "I guess I've found what I'm ganna to do this afternoon." She said excitedly.
"Your...ganna swim?" Willy asked surprised.
"Yeah why not? Your ganna come with, aren't ya?" Cameron asked getting up after wiping her mouth with the napkin.
"You know you shouldn't swim right after you eat." Willy said nervously.
"Oh poppycock!" Cameron laughed. She stopped when she saw Willy look away from her and back to his food. "Do you know how to swim?"
Willy shook his head to her question. "Never found the need to learn."
"Well your ganna learn today."
"No! I couldn't." He frowned getting up from his seat on the bed.
"Come on let me teach you." Cameron whined. Willy still shook his head.
"Party-pooper!" She said as she made her way into the bathroom to change.
Willy laid back on the bed silently mimicking her like a small child before snorting. When the door finally opened he looked over to find Cameron dressed in her two piece. It was dark and light green with the top being a halter and the bottoms were all green. His jaw dropped open.
"Do you where that whenever you go to the beach?" Willy felt jealous of anyone else who could have seen her in so little.
"Yeah, why?" She pulled her hair into a ponytail before making her way to the door.
Willy opened and closed his mouth much like a fish. Cameron shook her head laughing as she made her way out of the house and to the so called beach. She gently stuck her foot in the water finding it surprisingly warm. She made her way further in enjoying the light tingly feeling the water had against her skin. When she was waist deep she took a dive into the pool and was even more surprised to find how deep it was; at least nine feet maybe more. When she came back up to the surface she wiped off her face and looked up to find Willy starring at her from the island.
"Your missing all the fun." She said licking her lips. She smiled when she noticed he was wearing the bathing suite she had bought for him. It was green with white Hawaiian flowers on it.
"I can't believe you convinced me to get into this ridiculous thing." Willy frowned.
"If it makes you feel any better. You look great!" She said enthusiastically.
Cameron spent the whole afternoon trying to teach him to swim with no luck what so ever. She quickly became frustrated by him. "Your hopeless." She mumbled as she dragged him back up on the sand. Willy was too busy catching his breath to understand what she had said.
"I never want to do that again." He frowned over at Cameron. "I told you!" He said in a kiddie voice sticking out his tongue.
"Don't worry, I don't either." She took a seat beside him stretching out her legs and leaning back on her hands. "Too bad I can't get a tan here. I could use one." She said looking down at her pale legs.
Willy frowned. "Why do you need a tan?"
"Because I..." Cameron frowned thinking about this. "I've always had one. I mean I did live in Florida." Cameron explained. "I look odd without one." She frowned down at her legs.
"No you don't!" Willy snorted .
"Yes I do!"
"No you don't!"
"Yes I do!"
"No you don't!" Willy looked over at her, a serious look on his face.
"Oh shut up." Cameron whined looking away from him, but her eyes grew wide when she realized what she had just said. She turned to apologized but found Willy laughing his head off. "What's so funny?" She frowned.
"You looked funny when you said that." He laughed.
"Well you have a funny hair cut." Cameron stuck her tongue out at him.
Willy was about to reply with his usual 'No I don't' but thought of something. "But it gives you something to hold on to, doesn't it?" He whispered in her ear.
Cameron froze looking over at him with her mouth hanging wide open. She hit him lightly on the back of the head. "You most certainly don't talk to a lady like that, bucko." Cameron poked him in the shoulder.
"In the past couple days, I have hardly seen YOU act like a lady. Especially when your with me." Willy smirked at her.
Cameron laughed. "You do have a point there."
They spent a good week and a half locked inside this one room. Of course by then, as much as Cameron loved it, she missed the rest of the factory, her friends, Charlie and the rest of the family. So they decided their honeymoon was over and they quickly got settled back into Willy's room. A few nights after Willy decided to confront her about going to the doctor.
"Your going to the doctor tomorrow morning. I made an appointment." Willy said climbing into bed beside Cameron.
"Willy! I'm fine and I most certainly am not pregnant." Cameron groaned.
"I told Mrs. Bucket about you getting sick all the time. She said it's a sign." Willy explained looking over at her. "And I have a feeling you knew it too." He gave her a suspicious look. "She said that women have this...this instinct about these things and that I should ask you cause you would know."
"So all of a sudden you talk more to Mrs. Bucket then you do me, is that it?" Cameron sat up angrily looking down at him.
"See! See! Mood swings! Mrs. Bucket told me about those too." Willy said pointing a finger at her. "Your pregnant!"
"I am not!" Cameron yelled at him.
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am..." Cameron covered her mouth with her hand her eyes widening. She quickly made a run for the bathroom.
Willy frowned but then smiled to himself. "She's pregnant!" He clapped his hands excitedly.
