Campus Corner (Open)

[CarnivalBarker]

I turn on Sportscenter on the limo's television while you snore most of the trip. A couple hours later, we arrive at the same cabin where our first getaway took place. I shake you a bit. "Baby, wake up," I say in a soft voice.

 

[celestialdragon]

I wake up and stretch, yawning. "We're here?" I ask.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Yeah, sleepyhead, we're here." I say. "You have a surprise inside," I tell you.

 

[celestialdragon]

"What is it?" I ask with excitement.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"It," I pause. "Is inside."

 

[celestialdragon]

I crawl out of the limo and start walking toward our cabin. "Where is it?" I tease.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"It. Is. Inside." I tell you once again, sounding annoyed.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Where inside is it?" I ask, opening the door and turning on the light, flashing a brilliant smile at you.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

I roll my eyes and swat your ass as you open the door. Instantly, you see the kitchen counter bar has been renovated to look very much like the wood in the bar back home, and a light fixture much like the ones there hangs down from a cord, just as designed there as well. You see two shiny new bar stools, and one between them that is a bit tarnished and certainly used. Beneath the light sits a card, and a bottle of champagne. You open the card to the following note:

"Mr. and Mrs. Grier, Congratulations on Your New Home and Your New Lives Together. Sincerely, Steven Morris Realty."

 

[celestialdragon]

I squeal and throw my arms around you, hugging you tightly. "Oh my God, thank you!!!"

 

[CarnivalBarker]

I laugh and squeeze you to me. "I thought you might want a vacation home," I kiss you. "Like it?"

 

[celestialdragon]

I kiss you back. "Love it," I say, smiling brightly.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Here," I say, pulling away from you and approaching the bar. I swat the middle, used bar stool. "Sit down."

 

[celestialdragon]

I smile and sit down on the bar stool you indicated.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"That, Mrs. Grier," I say, "is the very bar stool you sat on the first time you came into the bar." I smile, proud of myself.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Is it really?" I ask, impressed. "How could you tell?"

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"It is," I say. "How could I tell?" I laugh. "I own the bar, and you sat on the second seat from the end when you came in. I remembered it."

 

[celestialdragon]

I laugh and smile. "Alright, you have a point," I say, happy that you remembered.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Are you hungry," I ask with a funny look.

 

[celestialdragon]

I see your funny look, and give you a confused look. "Yes, I am."

 

[CarnivalBarker]

I open the fridge and pull out a plate of wedding cake, the same kind we had for the wedding reception.

 

[celestialdragon]

I smile and clap my hands happily. "The cake is so delicious," I say.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Well," I pause, walking toward the bedroom. "We're eating it in bed."

 

[celestialdragon]

I laugh and get off from my bar stool and follow you into the bedroom. "Yeah?" I tease.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Yep," I say, walking in and setting the plate down on the nightstand before sitting on the bed. "Get your clothes off and get up here."
