Chapter 30:
Tiger
"Okay, give me a map" Bella asked and I pulled one up on my laptop. "Okay, right now we're in Remark. Let's think like Ness and Jake would. They knew we were tracking the so they left Sydney and headed for another city. Yet, the city probably should have some attraction to it, to make them want to go there"
"The Great Barrier Reef! All the cities that extend along it are relatively small. We just have to drive up with our windows down and we should pick up their scent in the city they are since they've probably spent the day in.
"Oh . . . I hear there is good shopping in Brisbane, we can stop there on our way!" Alice chimed and Bella just rolled her eyes as she started up the car and raced back to the main road.
NPOV
"Oh, this is just amazing" I said as I moved closer to Jake.
After the reef, we had grabbed a quickly bite to eat and then had headed to other activities. We went Jet- skiing, kayaking, trail walking, took a dip in the beach, walked in the sand and even built a sandcastle. Then, we ended up here, in the endless pool.
Jake and I were sitting in the endless pool, watching the sunset over the ocean. The sky was turning all types of oranges and pinks. The whole ocean sparkled as the sun began its dip. Slowly pinks began to grow into purples and blues until finally, the sun set and twilight came.
We watched as slowly the sky became an array of purples, dark blues and blacks. Finally, the darkness took over and the stars came out, like diamonds in the sky. The moon was bright and clear, shining over the reef.
"Today was incredible, thank you" I said as I kissed him.
"No problem, the only thing that mattered was that you would enjoy it. That's all I cared about" he said as he began kissing down my neck.
"Jake!" I said as it sent me into a fit of giggles.
"Look, I was planning on heading to Brisbane for a taste of the city but it's a long drive and we won't be able to come back here. So, I was thinking that maybe we could just stay here for the night" he said and I nodded.
"I would love to stay here" I said as we headed up to our floor.
I took a shower first, just a quick one. I put on jeans and a yellow layering shirt. I brushed my hair slowly on the bed as Jake took his shower.
"Hey, don't put on your PJ's!" he called as he got dressed.
"Yea, yeah" I answered as I strapped on my sandals.
He came out, smiling as he saw my outfit.
"Perfect"
He finished getting ready while I went through our pictures. I had already take about 100 today. I transferred them to my laptop, just for safe keeping, before shutting it off and putting it away.
"Ready?" he asked and I nodded, grabbing a small bag and heading out.
Jake led us to a restaurant called the Long Pavilion. It seemed one of those fine, fancy ones.
"Table for 2" Jake asked and she nodded, writing something down quickly and grabbing to menus.
"Table for 2" said a couple behind us.
"I'm sorry, we just filled up our last table. It shall be about a 20 minute wait" the other lady said.
"Wow, for once I had good luck" I said as the waitress sat us down at a small table at the side of the restaurant, giving us an ocean side view.
"You? My good luck was just so big it rubbed off on the both of us" he said and I laughed.
"Here are your menus. Is there anything you would like to drink?"
"Sprite" I answered.
"2"
"Okay, I'll be back soon to take your orders" she said as she scampered off.
"Hey, what time is it?" I asked, suddenly aware that I had already even forgotten the day of the week.
"It's about 7. Sunset here is around 5:50" he explained and I nodded.
"So, what's on the list for tomorrow?" I asked.
"The Red Centre and Uluru-Tjuta National Park
"What?"
He laughed at my confused face.
"It's up in the Northern Territory. It's where Ayers rock is located" he explained.
"Ahhhh . . . weird name though" I commented and he laughed.
The waitress came back with our drinks and asked if we were ready.
"Yes, I'll have the Barossa Valley Chicken" Jake said.
"And I'll have the Crayfish Cannelloni" I added.
"Okay, I'll take your menus"
We didn't talk about much after that except about the Uluru-Tjuta. We ate slowly, savoring the delicious flavors of our food. When we were done, we each had a small neenish tart.
"Thank you, please come again!" called the waitress as we left.
Once inside the room, I quickly changed into my pajamas, folding all my clothes in a suitcase. I packed dup everything I had left out, leaving only my clothes for tomorrow. I went to the bathroom to take off any make-up that could be left.
Once that was done, I slipped into my fuzzy slippers and walked over to the bed. Jake had already turned on the TV and was propped against the head board, watching a game intensely.
"Hey" I said as the commercial came on.
I climbed into the bed, crawling over to where he sat.
"Hey" he said as he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close.
I laid my head on his chest, watching the game with him as he drew soothing circles on my back. He watched another game after that and then began a movie. I tried to keep my eyes open but eventually, with the warmth coming off him and the circles on my back, my eyes closed sand I snuggled even closer, giving away into my dreams.
"Ness, honey, wake up" Jake said as he shook me.
I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the bright light coming in through the window.
"Hey" I said as I looked up.
Jake was already completely ready.
"Go get ready and then we'll head to the check out" Jake said and I nodded.
I grabbed the stuff I had left ready the night before and headed into the bathroom. I quickly changed, putting my PJ's in a small pile. I washed my face and brushed my bird's nest of a hair, putting it up in a slanted pony tail .
I added eyeliner and a bit of eye shadow before heading out. Jake was just about done gathering his things, having placed them all by the door. I quickly stuffed the last of my stuff away and went to join him.
"Let's go" I said as we rolled out of our room, letting it lock behind us.
We made our way slowly though the hotel, finally getting to the reception desk. They talked for a minute and finally Jake turned to me.
"We can leave our stuff in that room and go eat breakfast. Then, we'll come back and leave" he said and I nodded.
We walked towards the same breakfast place as yesterday, outside near the endless pool.
"It's such a beautiful day" I said ad he took our menus.
It was warm but there was a light ocean breeze. The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless blue sky. The ocean glittered and shined once more and I thought I would melt, this place being so relaxing.
"That's why I chose it here. Out of all the places along the reef, this one seemed like one of the best" Jake said as he looked through the menu.
"Well, then good choice" I said and he smiled.
"Umm, I'll have the strawberry-mango explosion pancakes with orange juice" I told the waitress who nodded but was staring intently at Jake.
I cleared my throat, "Did you get that?" I asked.
"Yes" she said irritably as she turned to Jake "And what shall it be for you?" (super sweet voice)
"Umm, I have the blueberry surprise waffles a orange juice" he said as he handed her the menu.
"Of course, right up" she said, completely ignoring me and not even taking my menu.
I growled at her softly as she walked away. Jake chuckled as he reached over and patted my head.
"Down kitten" he said.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Tiger" he adjusted with a grin.
I rolled my eyes at him, smiling.
"So, to the outback?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yes, then you'll see if kangaroos can take over Australia" he said and I blushed, looking down.
"It was just a dream" I mumbled and he laughed.
