Red woke up bright and early for the day and headed to Liz's room to wake her up. She was hugging her pillow tightly and he can see some minor evidence that she probably cried in her sleep. They've been staying at the house for four days now, and given what she's been through, she's been coping nicely. She still gets nightmares at night and Red has to come to her aid but apart from that she has been perfectly fine.
"Lizzie." Red gently pats her on the shoulder trying to wake her from her slumber.
"Lizzie, you need to wake up if you want us to go fishing."
"Red, it's still five in the morning. Wake me up in two hours." She said after glancing at the clock.
"I told you we have to start early. There's nothing like witnessing the sun rise in the middle of the ocean."
She released a small groan.
"Come on, get ready. You can sleep on the yacht, while I search for a place for us to fish." He said excitedly while nudging her.
"Alright, alright, I'll get ready."She said while yawning.
"Great! I'll make us some coffee."
She couldn't decide on what to wear so she just goes for a tan colored pants and a light yellow top.
She heads down to the dining area and sees him reading the newspaper with his glasses hanging at the edge of his nose.
"I could get used to seeing him like this." She thought to herself.
She must have been staring for a while because before she knows it he was addressing her already.
"There you are, I thought you have fallen back to sleep."
She walked to take a sit at the table as he got her coffee.
"I couldn't decide on what to wear." She replied.
It was then that she noticed his attire. He was wearing grey cargo pants and a brown plaid shirt with the top half unbuttoned revealing his grey undershirt. She found him devilishly attractive.
He hands him her coffee and says, "Which reminds me, we need to go do some shopping for your clothes. I'm sorry if the wardrobe prepared here is quite limited."
"That would be lovely." She said as she took a sip of her coffee and he goes back to reading the newspaper.
Minutes later they were riding the car going to the marina where his yacht was parked.
She was wandering about at the marina while Red gave instructions to Raul. She was surprised when Raul left and drove away.
"What? He's not coming with us?"She asked.
"No, why do you ask?"
"Do you even know how to operate a yacht Red? I mean, I've never even seen you drive a car."
"I think you're forgetting that I was once in the Navy, Lizzie. And just because you've never seen me drive doesn't mean I don't know how to." He said defensively.
"Okay, no need to get all defensive on me Red." She said while chuckling.
He just grinned at her, took her arm and led her to his yacht.
It was just a small yacht. There is a couch, a mini bar, a table where you could eat and a small bedroom. It looked very luxurious.
"This looks amazing Red, and very luxurious. What's the name of this yacht?"
"Well, I don't know. I haven't thought of a name just yet. Maybe you could name it." He said while going walking to the cockpit.
He took a seat and clasped his hands.
"Alright, how do we do this." He said more to himself in a low voice.
"You've got to be kidding me." She said quite nervously.
"I'm only kidding." He said as he stifles a laugh.
She watched him carefully as he operated the yacht.
"Alright, this seems to be a good place to stop. Why don't you head out to the deck while I get our equipments." He said after minutes of looking for the perfect spot.
"Okay." She said excitedly.
She walked out to the deck and was amazed at the view. The sun was already starting to rise. Red was right, there's really nothing quite like it.
A few moments later he walked out to the deck and found her gape at the view.
"Are you enjoying yourself?"
His statement pulled her out of her reverie.
She turned to his direction and smiled.
"I am. Thank you for dragging me out of bed to bring me here." She said with a little chuckle.`
She then approached him and gave him a warm hug, burying her head on his chest.
"Anytime, my dear." He said, hugging her back and kissing the top of her head.
