Chapter 3

"I spy with my little eye, a frown that needs to be turned upside down!" Mrs. Jefferson said, as she noticed the look on Maureen's face. Maureen sat silently looking out the window, unaware that Joanne's mom was talking to her. For the past hour, they had been playing eye spy, and Maureen was getting annoyed with the game, she couldn't believe how much Joanne's family was such a…family.

"Maureen?" Joanne called out nudging her girlfriend in the ribs, to get her attention.

"What?" Maureen said as she turned her head to face Joanne.

"You have the frown that needs to be turned upside down." Joanne teased.

Maureen rolled her eyes. "I don't want to play."

"We can always play another game." Mrs. Jefferson said with a smile.

Maureen plastered a smile on her face. "That's okay I think I'm all gamed out."

"Oh come on, it will help make the car ride go by faster." Mrs. Jefferson said.

Mr. Jefferson then chuckled, while keeping his eyes on the road. "She is going to keep on bugging you, until you give in you know."

Maureen slowly turned her head to face Joanne, who just smirked and nodded. Maureen then let out a sigh, and slightly smiled so Mrs. Jefferson wouldn't see that she was annoyed. "Okay what game?"

Mrs. Jefferson grinned with delight. "Okay let me think…um I know! The copycat game?"

"What's that?" Maureen asked.

"You never played the copycat game before?" Joanne asked in surprise.

Maureen shook her head. "No…how do you play?"

"I repeat everything you say, until you give up." Mrs. Jefferson said.

"Why would you do that?" Maureen asked.

"It's how the game is played." Joanne stated.

"Well show me how to play." Maureen replied.

"Well show me how to play." Mrs. Jefferson said.

"I'm serious." Maureen spoke.

"I'm serious." Mrs. Jefferson repeated.

"Is this the game or something?" Maureen asked.

"Is this the game or something?" Mrs. Jefferson fired back.

"I don't get it…its annoying." Maureen said.

Mrs. Jefferson smirked. "Sweetie that's how you play."

Maureen returned the smirk. "Well you gave up easily."

Mrs. Jefferson sat there staring at Maureen in shock. "Wow…"

"You beat her at her own game, congratulations." Mr. Jefferson said, while smiling at Maureen in the review mirror."

Joanne giggled. "I never seen that game end so quickly…"

Maureen shrugged, with a smile. "I'm talented I guess."

Mrs. Jefferson just returned Maureen's smile, and turned back around in her seat. "What's another game we can play?"

"You can save that game for on the way home, because we are finally here." Mr. Jefferson said, as he turned onto a dirt road.

Maureen excitedly looked out her window, as the car drove past a bunch of trees. "Wow…there is a lot of…trees…"

"That's why they call it a forest." Joanne replied with a playful tone.

Maureen playfully hit Joanne on the arm, but kept her eyes out the window, taking in the view, that was much different from New York City. After a five-minute drive, Mr. Jefferson pulled in front of a cabin, putting the car in park.

"We're here!" Mr. Jefferson called out, as he climbed out of the car, along with everyone else.

Maureen closed her door, and took in her surroundings. Her first sight was of the cabin, she couldn't believe they called it a cabin, because it looked more like a small log house, placed in the middle of nowhere. It had a small deck built off the front, with two double doors leading inside, and two huge windows on either side of the doors.

Joanne came up next to her. "Beautiful isn't it?"

Maureen nodded. "But I thought this was a cabin…"

"It is." Joanne answered.

Maureen turned towards her. "It looks like a house…I thought we were camping…"

Joanne let out a small laugh. "We are still camping…its just in a more comfortable place.'

"Oh…" Maureen said as she walked to the back of the car to grab her stuff. 'Maybe this wont be so bad after all…'

Inside Maureen stood at the entrance taking in her new home for the week; to her left there was a seating area also known as the living room, which consisted of three big couches, surrounding a coffee table, the floors were all hard wood, except the occasional area rug placed in a significant spot, in this case there was a fluffy carpet under the coffee table, and a small non-fluffy carpet at the doorway. Just off the living room, was a dinning area that had a huge table set up, which could seat ten people. Behind the table was a huge window, with sliding doors, another deck build off it. To Maureen's right, there were a case of stairs, which led to a small balcony over looking the interior of the cabin; there was also a door up there. Her eyes fell back down to the main floor, and behind the staircase, she noticed three other doors, she assumed were bedrooms. Straight ahead, there was a mirror, that was also a door, and she watched as Joanne opened it, to reveal a closet.

After taking her shoes off, Joanne led her to the right, and past the staircase, to the back of the cabin where the kitchen was. It was a huge kitchen, a big island in the middle, stainless steal fridge, microwave, stove, and dishwasher, all the counter tops were made of marble, the color of them tan to match the log wood walls of the cabin. It was an open concept kitchen, and she noticed to her left, it lead into the dinning room, and to her right there was a hallway, that had a door off the end of it.

"That's the laundry room." Joanne said pointing in Maureen's direction. "And a storage room."

Maureen simply nodded. "Joanne this place is pretty big for a cabin…I was picturing a tent when you said camping…or even a trailer, I didn't know we would be living the life, I feel like I'm on MTV cribs!"

Joanne laughed. "It is pretty amazing isn't it, I loved it up here when I was little. Now come on I'll show you the bedrooms."

Joanne took Maureen's hand and led her back the way they came; they walked under the staircase/balcony, where the three other doors were. Joanne came to a stop at the first door and opened it.

"This is my sister's room." Joanne explained.

Maureen nodded and peeked inside. It was small but cozy, there was a bed pushed up against the wall, the headboard just under a window, and to the right of the door there were two chair set up, on a small carpet, making it look like a little reading area. There was nothing much more to the room other then two dressers, and a closet. Joanne then shut the door, and headed for the next door.

But before Joanne could open it, her father came around. "If you have to go to the bathroom, its just right outside."

Maureen nodded. "Like an outhouse?"

Mr. Jefferson laughed. "No like the woods is your bathroom, just make sure you bring some toilet paper with you, and we bathe in the lake."

Maureen just sat there shocked until Joanne, and her father started laughing.

"I'm kidding!" Mr. Jefferson said.

Joanne then opened the door she was standing in front of. "This is the bathroom."

Maureen sighed with relief, as she peaked inside. "Don't do that to me!"

It was a small bathroom, everything you pretty much needed, a shower/bathtub, a sink, and a toilet

"Cute." Maureen said as she followed Joanne to the last door.

"This is our room." Joanne said as she walked inside. "It's pretty much the same as my sisters."

Maureen walked in with Joanne, and nodded when it was the same set up as the other bedroom.

"Where do your parents sleep?" Maureen asked.

"The balcony above us, that door you saw leads to the master bedroom. I'll show you it later." Joanne answered.

Maureen nodded, as she went to go grab her suitcase. When she came back into the room, she frowned when she saw that Joanne had her laptop set up on a small table.

"Joanne." Maureen said irritated. "I thought this was a vacation."

"I just brought it to check my e-mail." Joanne said as she turned it on.

Maureen shook her head. "No, this is a vacation you can't bring your work with you. It will just stress you out."

"No it won't." Joanne said as she scrolled around on the mouse.

"Fine, you made me do." Maureen said as she set her stuff down, and headed towards Joanne. Before Joanne knew what was going on, Maureen wrapped her arms around her, and pulled her on the bed.

"Please pack the laptop away." Maureen said as she pinned Joanne to the bed.

Joanne laughed. "Make me."

Maureen smirked. "I will."

Maureen then pinned Joanne hands over top of her, as she straddled the lawyer, and then began tickling her with her free hand. Joanne laughed, and cried out for Maureen to stop, and it wasn't long until their lips were locked with each other's. Maureen soon let go of Joanne's hands, and let Joanne roam her body, but their fun was soon over, when there was a knock on the open door, which caused Maureen to jump off of Joanne, and off of the bed.

"Sorry." Maureen said as she wiped her mouth.

Joanne smiled at her jumpy girlfriend and sat up, and then turned her attention to her mother, who was standing at the door, with a smirk on her face.

"Sorry for interrupting, I just wanted to see if you two needed anything." Mrs. Jefferson said.

Joanne shook her head. "Nope we're good, thanks mom."

Mrs. Jefferson nodded, before smiling at the two, and leaving. She then came back in and shut the door, while adding. "There is a reason why we make doors." She said with a wink, and then shut the door and left.

Maureen sighed. "Oh god I can't believe she saw us making out."

Joanne laughed as she climbed off the bed. "It's okay Maureen, she doesn't care."

"I hope not." Maureen said, as she slapped Joanne's ass. "Because I do remember you telling me, you'd be my slave."

Joanne playfully rolled her eyes, as she shut down her laptop, and began putting it away.

"You're putting it away for the rest of the week?" Maureen asked with hopeful eyes.

Joanne nodded. "Yup you're right, this is vacation time, I don't need to worry about work."

Maureen smiled with delight, as she pulled Joanne into a hug. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Joanne said as she gave Maureen a gentle kiss. "Now come on I'll show you around outside."

Maureen nodded as she took Joanne's hand, and followed her out the door.
