The Treehouse of the Cove

[Veroe]

Yeah, I'm not in a good mindset to plot or write right now.

So what pics you looking for?

 

[Asa]

Not sure just whatever catches my eye

 

[Veroe]

I'm falling asleep here so...gonna call it a night.

Sweet and wicked dreams beautiful.

 

[Asa]

Sweet wicked dreams love

 

[Asa]

Dancing about the treehouse glad for the daily escape this place offers. Music exotic and moving.

 

[Asa]

A nice quiet day here. The island breeze and scent of exotic flowers. Sangrias and shrimp and steaks for the grill. A soft short sundress hair loosely pinned up as I sit in the porch swing.

 

[Veroe]

I walk in from the cove towards the treehouse, and see you sitting on the porchswing.

Hey good lookin'. How you doing today?

 

[Asa]

Doing good darlin welcome home. Dinner is ready to throw on the grill.

 

[Veroe]

Food. Now you're talking, beautiful.

Climbs up to the treehouse to join you.

 

[Asa]

Steak and shrimp hope you like it.

 

[Veroe]

Steak? You're too good to me.

I lean down to give you a brief and appreciative kiss upon your lips.

So let's eat.

 

[Asa]

Leading you over to the grill and starting to put the food on the grill. Turning back to you with a soft kiss.

Thought it would be nice. I have missed our time like this.

 

[Veroe]

Yeah, but it makes these times all the more special, doesn't it?

I walk over to the nearby bar.

While you grill our steaks, I'll mix us up some cocktails. What do you want to drink, Asa?

 

[Asa]

There should be some Sangria over there but whatever you wanna make darlin and yeah it does.

Keeping an eye on the steaks and shrimps.

 

[Veroe]

I begin using our favorite brand of Tequila to make two Tequila Sunrises for our meals.

I'll make a light salad too to go with it too.

 

[Asa]

Sounds great love.

Gets a little garlic butter for the shrimp

 

[Veroe]

Begins chopping a half a head of Romaine after assembling some cherry tomatoes, a cucumber, a red onion, and a bottle of Vinaigrette.

So has RL begun to settle a bit for you, darling?

 

[Asa]

Some... Will be better when youngest is in school full time. Eldest will be able to do online classes easier. As for the other issue I am ignoring it for now. It is not immediate since he can't afford it for now so I am going to enjoy life and time here and dismiss it for now.

How has your rl been love?

 

[Veroe]

Getting a little better. Work is evening out a little. Still lots of overtime but just pulled back on the insane levels of overtime.

I place the chopped lettuce into a bowl and begin slicing the cucumber.

How's your new threads coming along?

 

[Asa]

Glad to hear work is leveling out.

Takes the shrimp off the grill and focused a little more on the steaks.

The new threads are mostly slow going except for one he seems to post fairly regularly. What about you how are your threads going?

 

[Veroe]

Well the group thread I joined is still early on, but very promising in oppurtunities as well as writing challenges for me, and you know I've been looking for an exciting challenge to sink my teeth into for a while now.

I start chopping the red onion, wiping tears from my suddenly stinging eyes.

 

[Asa]

Sorry rl grabbed me for a bit.

Taking the steaks off the grill and getting some of the onion slices and putting them briefly on the he grill. Turning you towards me and kissing the "onion tears" away.

So dinner and snuggling...

 

[Veroe]

I return the kiss with an affectionate leisure that spoke of comfort with you here in our house among the trees.

Thank you, and yeah... supper and snuggling and perhaps more.

 

[Asa]

Quickly getting the onions off the grill and putting them on the steaks and topping that with the shrimp on the plates.

Whatever we do will be wonderful here together love.

Arms slip around your waist sinking into your eyes.

 

[Veroe]

We set the table on the balcony overlooking the cove below. Steak and Shrimp, salad, and Tequila Sunrises, and your company...the last and most ingredient for the perfect repast. The sun is setting and a warm tropical breeze flirts with our hair as we sit down for our shared meal.
