"Cos..time to wake up, we're landing." Her voice pulled me out of my dream and her touch had me opening my eyes, making a face as I let out a soft yawn.

"I was having a good dream.." I mumbled as I sat upright slowly, running a hand through my hair, it away away from my face, before straightening my glasses. "Looks nice." I nodded out the window, smirking at her.

She rolled her eyes and shrugged glancing out the window again, watching as everything seemed to grow bigger and bigger until we landed with a thud. Welcome to Eureka, and as always, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying with us, enjoy your time in lovely northern California.

I smiled to myself as I pulled my carry on out from under the seat in front of me. Standing up slowly, letting my muscles stretch out. It was great finally being here, even as I looked out at the tarmac, it all looked so familiar, though it had been like a million years since I had been here.

Once we were off the plane, we headed to grab our luggage. Everyone looked so relaxed, a smile on their faces, so different than the people from back home. "This is so fucking weird, yeah? Everyone's all smiley and shit." Sarah mumbled, slipping her fingers into mine.

I squeezed them gently, offering her a shrug and a warm smile. "Yeah, it's weird, but I mean, it's kind of nice, don't you think? Everyone looks so grumpy all the time at home." I nudged her shoulder as she rolled her eyes, but there was a smile on her face.

Once we grabbed our bag, we headed over to the car rental, where Sarah had already set up something, so it didn't take nearly as long as it would for people who hadn't thought ahead. "Thank you, we'll see you in a week." She said, as she sighed the papers.

They handed over the keys and let us know where it was parked. It was a cute, blue Ford Focus, something that got good gas mileage and was still stylish as Sarah had put it. I was just stoked she picked something eco friendly. She loaded up our bags, insisting that this was for me and she would be doing all of the gentleman stuff.

"Mm, so you're being a lentleman?" I asked, smirking at my own stupid joke.

"What the fuck is a lentilman? Is that a person made out of lentils?" She asked, quirking a brow at me as she opened the car door for me, as I face palmed gently.

"No, like a lady gentleman..ah forget it." I shook my head, grinning at her as she closed the door. I buckled up as she went around to the driver's side and got in. She flashed me a smile and started the engine.

"It's just about a half hour from here, straight shot up 101." She smiled as we made our way out of the airport. I was pretty impressed that she did enough research to know that.

"I was just about to say that, but it looks like you totally know where we're going." I chuckled, leaning back in the seat. She smiled at me, looking all proud of herself as she turned the radio on.

Much to my surprise, she picked a dupstep station off of Sirius, turning the volume up to a decent level, so we could talk, but not yell, and still hear the music. "I didn't think you liked this kind of thing." I mentioned, watching as she nodded her head with the beat.

"Honestly, it's not really my thing, but a lot of it has a pretty good beat, and I mean, you like it so might as well, don't get me wrong, I won't go putting any of this on my iPod or anything, but it's nice to listen to sometimes." She shrugged, zooming down the highway with ease.

I nodded my head, as I turned the AC off, opening my window, letting my arm hangout, moving my hand through the air currents along to the beat. I smiled over at her when she opened her window, shouldering her jacket off with ease, before hanging her arm out the window.

It was hard not to watch her instead of the scenery, but every once in a while, I would glance over, just to admire the warm smile on her lips, or the way she let her upper body move along to a song, or just the way her V-neck clinged to her in all the right places.

Once we entered the Trinidad city limits, I got excited, grinning at the small coastal town. It was about four in the afternoon and I was starting to get hungry as we entered the center of the town. Sarah either read my mind, or was hungry as well, because she pulled into a nice looking pub.

"Some fish and chips sounds good, don't they." She smiled as she glanced up from her menu. We were sat in a nice little corner booth, sitting across from each other. The place smelled of fried food and sea, and most of it's occupants seemed rather polite.

"Mm, they do, but I think I'm going to get the grilled salmon, I haven't had good salmon in a long time." I chuckled softly, nudging her leg gently, with my foot.

She rolled her eyes, nudging me back, before our waiter came back with our drinks. It was surprising to see Sarah get anything other than tea or alcohol, but he set down a glass of strawberry lemonade in front of her and she smiled her thanks. I had gotten a root beer, and was surprised when he set down an iced glass and a frosty bottle.

"Ooh, I bet it tastes amazing." I grinned before giving him my order. He smiled at me and then turned his attention to Sarah, seemingly unaffected by our similar appearances.

"I'll have the fish and chips, but could you make sure the chips are nice and crisp?" She asked, looking up at him. He nodded his head, jotting down the note, before collecting out menus, assuring us it would be right out.

"I think your accent surprises him." I said as I poured the root beer into the glass slowly, trying to avoid creating more foam than necessary. I managed to get about half the bottle into the glass, before taking a sip. Humming my delight.

"Well, I bet he doesn't see many Brits around here, we tend to stay in Canada or the northern states, I dunno why, I think it has something with the weather being somewhat the same." She shrugged her shoulders, taking a sip of her lemonade.

It must have been too sour, because the face she made was priceless, as she stirred in a few packets of sugar, before trying it again, nodding to herself. "You are so adorkable." I grinned, taking another sip of my drink.

The conversation was easy, flowing from one topic to the next, when we got to the subject of our upcoming birthdays, I rolled my eyes. "Sarah, you are not buying me anything, for my birthday, this trip might as well be my birthday gift and all the other holidays all put together." I insisted as she shook her head.

"This trip wasn't meant as a gift for anything, it was meant for us to spend some uninterrupted time together." She said, leaning her elbows on the table, giving me a good look down her shirt.

I tore my gaze away from her chest, refocusing on her face as she smirked. "But..Sarah." I pouted, watching her roll her eyes. I could tell by the way her features were set that I was getting no where. "Fine.." I sighed obviously defeated.

She grinned triumphantly, taking a drag from her drink as out food came along. Everything looked and smelled so amazing, that I couldn't wait to dig in. Sarah thanked our waiter with a smile, before she pulled a fry out, taking a bite.

"Mm, I haven't had a good chip in a long time, Mrs. S would always make them too soggy." Her nose wrinkled up as she tore her fried fish into smaller pieces, letting the steam roll out of them, sucking the grease from her fingers as I cut into my fish.

It was flaky and looked amazing. "Oh my gosh, this is the best salmon I have had in a long time." I murmured as I chewed, letting out a soft sigh as I scooped up some rice.

We enjoyed our meal in a comfortable silence, only ever pausing when the door to the pub slammed open, a small group of men, clad in leather, strode in, making their way to the way everyone seemed to ignore them, made me think they came in rather often.

"I need to hit the loo, I'll be back." She said as she got up, following the sign to the bathrooms. I nodded and finished my drink off, leaning back in my seat as the bill was laid on the table.

I offered the waiter a smile and picked up the check, looking at the total with a mild frown. Granted it wasn't near as bad as it could have been, but it was still rather pricey. I set it back down and pretended like I never touched it, knowing Sarah would get upset.

"Hey there pretty lady." I heard a voice drawl out as the owner of it, leaned against Sarah's now empty booth.

I raised a brow at him, leaning back in my seat. "Mm, hello, thanks for the compliment, but I'm not interested." I spoke, disgust hanging off every word. I watched as he got closer, his face only about a foot away from mine at this point.

He smelled of sweat and alcohol, why they would let this kind of company into a nice place like this, was beyond me. "I wasn't really asking if you were interested, doll." He said, going to reach for my face.

His fingers never did reach my skin, not before a small tanned hand, snatched them away from me, her grip hard enough to make him cry out. "I don't really appreciate you trying to touch her, without her permission." Sarah growled, pushing his hand away from her, making him move a few steps back.

He let out a laugh, before pushing her away, I could hear the thud his hand made against her chest and it made me internally wince. "What's she to you, bitch." He snapped as Sarah gained her footing once more, a rather red hand print across her chest.

"She's my girlfriend, asshole." She snarled, like a teeth bared, a fire burning in her eyes, honest to God snarl.

The man made a face, before a nasty laugh left his lips. I don't know what he was about to say about us, but Sarah silenced him with a fist to his mouth. The crunch was enough to make me shiver. He fell backwards, thankfully not hitting anything on the way down.

Sarah laid down more than enough for the bill, before snatching up her jacket, giving an apologetic look to the staff, before we exited. She didn't speak for the entire drive up to the rental house, even when I asked her about her hand, which was now bruised and swollen, she just kept quiet.

I could understand why, she felt like I was upset over the scene, but in all honesty, I was pretty proud of her, that guy was at least twice her size and she took him down with one hit, and still managed to not break anything.

"Sarah..sweetie, just let me look at your hand, please." I murmured as we got out of the car. She paused after she opened the trunk, letting out a soft sigh, before she offered me her hand. I ran my thumbs over her knuckles, feeling for any breakage, but there was only swelling, nothing too serious. Next, I moved my fingers to her chest, brushing them against the purple blotch that decorated it.

"I swear, if I see his face again, I may shove a fork in it." I muttered, as I looked into her eyes, biting my lip gently. "You really didn't have to do that, but I know why you did and you have no idea how proud of you I am, you protected me and still managed not to break anything, except for the guy's jaw, perhaps." I smiled at her, bringing a hand to cup her cheek.

She leaned into my palm, closing her eyes, a smile ghosting onto her lips. "He just pissed me off, it wasn't like I was protective of you, as like an object, it's because you own my heart, I mean, that primal part of me just flared up and all I could think of was, that guy is trying to touch my mate and as fucked as that sounds, it's what happened." She shrugged as I let out a soft chuckle.

"I know what you're getting out, I felt the same thing when he pushed you, the sound his hand made against your chest, it pissed me off to no end." I shook my head, placing a soft kiss to her forehead, before we pulled away.

She grabbed the big back while I grabbed the small and we headed up the steps. It took her a moment, to find the right key, before she unlocked the door, letting us into the small cottage.

"Wow..this place is so beautiful." I murmured as I looked around, leaving the bag by the door. It was small and homey and yet it still had that expensive feel to it, but I ignored it as I explored, a grin on my face the entire time.

Thanks for read, please lemme know what you think!
