Chapter 4
Joanne interlaced her hand with Maureen's as the two slipped on their shoes, and headed out the front door of the cabin.
"Wow." Maureen whispered as soon as they walked to the edge of the balcony, which was attached to the cabin. "This is a great view."
Joanne nodded, "I know, you'll love it here."
Maureen didn't say anything as she took in the sight before her; straight ahead there was the view of the lake. It wasn't a huge lake, because in the distance you could see another cabin, but it was big enough to keep the privacy. The front of the cabin was an open concept, there was a fire pit placed in one section, and then they had a lot of space to do whatever they wanted, while the trees surrounding the place made it a cozy, cubby-hole for a nice get away.
"Come on." Joanne said breaking Maureen's thoughts. "There is still more to see."
Maureen simply nodded, as she followed Joanne down the stairs, Joanne now guiding them to the left of the cabin.
"That's where we drove in." Joanne said pointing to the dirt road path that led to the highway. "And back here, is were my dad keeps all the fun stuff…and his tools."
Maureen followed with out saying anything as she let Joanne take her hand, where she was now leading her to the back of the house, were there was a big shed hiding behind some trees. Joanne came to a stop in front of the shed.
"We don't have to go inside, it's dusty. But this is were, the volleyball net is, or if you wanted to play horse shoes, or pool toys for the lake." Joanne just shrugged and began walking away. "So if we ever get bored, you know were to go for fun."
As they kept walking Maureen noticed they were now behind the cabin. She took in the cabin from behind, the double doors from the dinning room led out to a deck with a barbecue on it. There was also a patio set, set up. She then turned around to see the outside view; it wasn't as good as the front view, because it was just a big wall of trees surrounding the backyard of the cabin.
"You guys like trees eh?" Maureen asked as she followed the green wall, that wrapped around the cabin like a blanket.
Joanne giggled. "It's nature…"
Maureen smirked as Joanne walked her to the other side of the cabin, stopping when she came to a small path. "This is a path. We go on hikes and stuff through here. There are different paths you can take when you get further in. One leads to a small town, that takes about twenty minutes by foot, that's how we get to the store, another leads to a beach, and then there are a whole bunch more. I'm sure we'll have time to walk some of them before the trip is over.
Maureen scrunched up her face at the sound of walking; she would rather just drive then walk through a forest that was probably filled with a whole bunch of bugs. But she quickly shrugged it off as they walked back to the cabin, noticing they made a full circle around it.
"So that's pretty much it." Joanne said. "Oh we also have a boat, we store in town. My dad will probably go get it later today. There is a dock down there." Joanne said pointing in the direction of where the lake was. "Its fun we go tubing and all of that."
"You guys own this whole property?" Maureen asked, a little shocked.
"Yeah since I was eight. It was nothing like this before. My dad and uncles really fixed it up a lot." Joanne answered. "Anyways want to go check out the rest of the cabin?"
"There's more?" Maureen asked in a stunned tone.
"Only two more rooms." Joanne laughed as they headed up the stairs, and back into the cabin.
Once they entered, Joanne pulled Maureen to the left where the living room was. They walked past the couches, and down another hall until they reached a room with a fireplace. In front of the stone fireplace there was a small comfy looking carpet, with two chairs resting on top. There wasn't much else to the room, besides a couple tables, pictures, and two small windows.
"This looks comfy." Maureen stated.
Joanne let a smile play on her lips, as a memory flashed through her mind. "Yeah, when we were little, we all used to sit in here by the fire. My parents would be on the chairs, while my sister and I would lie on the ground in front of them, until we fell asleep."
Maureen smirked at the memory, staying silent so Joanne could remember. Maureen didn't really understand why it meant so much to Joanne, maybe it was because her family never did these kinds of things when she was growing up, but she just watched as Joanne stared into space, her face beaming with delight, as though she were a kid in a candy store.
"Okay." Joanne said as she shook her head clear. "One more room, and then we can start vacationing."
This time Maureen wrapped an arm around Joanne's waist, as the two walked back out into the living room, across the entrance way, and over to the stairs that led to the master bedroom. Once they climbed the stairs Joanne stopped in front of the door, and opened it up.
"My parents room." Joanne said, as she let Maureen walk in first.
Maureen gasped at how big it was. To her right there was a huge king sized bed, the headboard pushed up against the wall. Straight in front of her, were two French doors that looked as if they led out onto a balcony, right next to the door they came in, was a desk, and then to the left was another door.
"There is more to the room?" Maureen asked in an astonished voice, when she saw the other door.
Joanne laughed as they headed for it. "It's their bathroom."
Maureen looked inside. "Joanne…this is bigger then our bathroom at home!"
"I know." Joanne said as she walked inside.
"Holy shit, that isn't a bathtub!" Maureen said as she looked to her right, where there was a huge Jacuzzi sized tube, waiting for her to play in. "That's a pool…and I hate to break it to your parents, I'm going to be playing in it one night this week."
"I'll let you talk to my parents about that." Joanne laughed.
Maureen smirked with a twinkle in her eye as she took in the rest of the bathroom. There was a marble sink, with two sinks in it, next to the sinks was the toilet, and then across from the toilet was a place where you could take a shower.
"They have a bathtub, and a shower?" Maureen asked.
"Yeah, a shower is faster then taking a bath, and my dad likes to wake up early in the morning and start his day." Joanne answered. "Come here I want to show you the view from here."
Maureen nodded as she followed; before she left she eyed the Jacuzzi tub. "I'll be seeing you later."
Joanne laughed at her girlfriend, as they made it to the French doors, and walked outside. Maureen walked across the balcony and to the railing, taking in yet another view of the woods, and the path where they drove in on.
"I'm going to say it again…wow there are a lot of trees." Maureen stated.
Joanne smirked as she walked up behind Maureen, her arms encircling her waist. "Yes there are, but its beautiful isn't it?"
Maureen leaned into the embrace, resting her head on Joanne's shoulder. "It definitely is."
"Hi girls!" They heard a voice shout from below them.
Maureen's ear perked up, as she leaned against the railing. "Hi Mr. Jefferson!"
"Hi dad!" Joanne shouted back.
"Kitten I'm going to go get the boat." Mr. Jefferson yelled. "Make sure your mom has dinner ready for me, when I get back."
Joanne laughed. "I'll see what I can do."
After they watched Mr. Jefferson drive off in the SUV, Maureen turned around and wrapped her arms around Joanne's neck.
"So how do you like it so far?" Joanne asked, her hands moving slowly below Maureen's lower back, until they were finally resting on her ass.
Maureen leaned in, resting forehead on Joanne's. "So far so good. But I just have one question."
Joanne smirked, as she squeezed the butt resting in her palms. "What's that?"
"Where's the TV?" Maureen asked, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion. "I mean you own this whole property, and there is no entertainment?"
Joanne giggled at the question. "Maureen you don't need a TV while camping."
"You don't get bored?" Maureen asked.
"No" Joanne answered. "Trust me, there is so much to do around here, you don't even have time for TV."
"Oh." Maureen said, her face lighting up again. "Okay…do you at least have a radio?"
"Yes." Joanne said pulling Maureen closer.
"Good." Maureen smirked, now leaning in so she could place a kiss on Joanne's lips.
They both lingered their kiss for a few minutes, until Maureen excitedly pulled away. "Come on! Lets go talk your mom into letting us use the Jacuzzi."
Joanne watched as her energized girl friend bounced away. "This is definitely going to be an interesting vacation."
