The Treehouse of the Cove

[Asa]

Lost in the music not wanting it to end.

 

[Veroe]

I have one more song to dance to Asa.

Unless you want to go back to our beers?

 

[Asa]

What song darlin?

 

[Veroe]

I take the remote and press another button. Taylor Swift's Shake it off starts playing.

A song that's the example of what this whole dance party of ours is about. Not caring what may happen and just dance and have some fun.

I start grooving to the music taking your hand and twirling you around in synch with it.

 

[Asa]

Dancing around enjoying the dance partner the most.

 

[Veroe]

The song ends and I laugh picking you up in my arms.

So what kind of fun do you want to do now, eighteen year old Asa?

 

[Asa]

Run along the beach... Swimming... Relax. Enjoy our time together no matter what we do.

 

[Veroe]

Now that's a great idea.

I put you down and kiss you on the cheek.

C'mon let's race and the winner will get a kiss.

 

[Asa]

Let's go.

Kicking off sandals and hurrying to the beach below.

 

[Veroe]

Barefoot we make it to the beach.

I bend down and get into a runner's stance.

Don't expect me to take it easy on you just because you're even cuter now that you're a teenager again.

 

[Asa]

Yeah yeah darlin you too...

Let's... Go

Running with a laugh

 

[Veroe]

I run after you laughing and admiring the view of your ass in motion as you run.

Whoo, teenage hormones. Haven't dealt with this in a while.

I easily catch up to you and we run down the beach neck and neck.

 

[Asa]

Running loving the feel of the sand and spotting you are neck and neck and winks.

Having fun darlin?

 

[Veroe]

Oh yeah.

Seeing that we continue running neck and neck I reach out push you causing you to stumble and giving me the lead by a nose.

 

[Asa]

Hey now...

Laughing and regaining my footing and running more.

 

[Veroe]

What? I'm serious about getting that kiss for winning.

Just try and beat me, Asa.

(Raincheck for tomorrow)

 

[Asa]

Yeah yeah don't have to win a race to get a kiss.

(Okay)

 

[Veroe]

But it will be a very special kiss since I won it. When I was 18 I was really shy and a little childish, and did I mention the competitive streak too?

I pull a little further ahead of you as the finish line of the race comes in sight.

So catch up to me if you can, beautiful.

 

[Asa]

Trying to run a little faster as we make our way to the finish line.

Fair enough. Try to catch me

 

[Veroe]

Oh its on.

I chase after you nearly catching you.

 

[Asa]

Laughing happy here in our cove home having fun and being young. Slowing a little to see if you might catch me

 

[Veroe]

I rush up and scoop you up in my arms bounding across the finish line.

We won! Now for my prize.

 

[Asa]

Well then kiss me darlin.

A smile and a wink.

 

[Veroe]

Hey, did you throw that race at the end there just to get me to kiss you?

I laugh and place a quick kiss against your lips.

What you were hoping for more?

I laugh again?

Just say so and I'll try again.

 

[Asa]

Is that the best 18 year old you has got? Come on darlin think you can do better than that or... Need lessons?

Devious little wink.

And what if I did?
