She's beautiful and funny. I was surprised by her beauty yesterday when I saw her. The pictures don't do her justice. She's a goddess and I need to start worshipping her as soon as possible. Today, however, is a day to get to know her.
"You make it sound like it's the worst thing in the world."
"I might need to go back to bed."
"Not until you have breakfast. I've made bacon, eggs and some toast."
She sits at the table and waits expectantly for the food. I place a plate before her and then set a cup of coffee next to the plate. I place my own food down and sit down and join her. She takes a sip of the coffee and moans in a way that has me starting to harden.
"Mmmm that's some good coffee."
"I buy it from Over the Roast, a small coffee shop the next town over. She gets the best blends I've ever tasted."
"Should I be jealous?"
"Absolutely not. Sam is happily married."
She takes a bite out of the eggs and bacon, but doesn't comment on them. I'm a little hurt that she's not amazed by my cooking prowess, but what can you do?
"So I thought you might give me a lift downtown where I can sightsee and check out the place and make some new friends."
"Actually, today is bring your fiancée to work day."
"What?"
"Okay, that was an attempt at a joke. I have the day off and will be showing you around myself. If you'd like to meet the guys at work, we'll drop by and say hi. They'll love you."
I don't know why I said that last part. She's amazing, but the one who needs to love her is me, and I'm already halfway there. Freya is so easy to be with. Our conversations flow easily, and she seems to be very good natured, something I really like.
We finish our breakfast and she goes to get ready for the day. I don't know what to expect when she comes out in jeans and a knit sweater that hugs her curves. I think my mouth is open and I fight to get it closed again. I don't know how I'll survive a day with such a beautiful woman at my side.
Am I the luckiest man alive? That's got to be it. I've been given a gift from the universe because of my good deeds as a park ranger. I know I'm being silly, but what else could have happened for me to be this fortunate?
I help her up into my truck and then I reach inside to buckle her in. We almost crash our heads together when I do this, but at the same time I am able to smell her vanilla and peaches scent. It's intoxicating to my senses and I wish the moment lasted longer so I was able to breathe in more of that perfect scent.
"So what's on the agenda, tour director Michaelson?"
"First, we'll go to see the lake, where I have a small fishing cabin. Then we'll tour downtown and finish with a visit to the park ranger's station. How does that sound?"
"Sounds like a plan. Let's go."
I'm eager to see her response to the lake. It's a majestic view, and I enjoy the time I spend there alone. I wouldn't mind having someone with me to spend the days with. Sometimes I'd go with a buddy, but it would be a treat to bring a significant other with me.
The drive to the lake takes about thirty minutes, and I can hear her take in a breath when she sees it. The ice should start melting soon, and I'll be able to bring her here to fish with me. I know, not a particularly romantic date, but I think she'd like to spend the time together. Or at least I hope.
"This place is next level, Connor."
"You like it?"
"I love it. It's majestic and full of wonder."
"I was hoping you'd find it that way."
"I don't know how to fish. City girl here. But when can we come so you can teach me?"
"Things will defrost enough to fish in a couple of weeks."
We sit in front of the cabin for a bit and I serve her some coffee I brought with us in a thermos. The silence between us is comfortable, and I'm starting to hope for a quickie wedding. After a while, we leave to tour the town. Cassie did a really good job showing her the highlights yesterday, so it's a quick tour.
