Chapter 9 begins

     Now it was about four in the afternoon when Charles finished his last task for the trip and that was to pack a suitcase for Leah. Charles did this as she went for a swim and lay by the small pool sunning herself on this 80 degree April day. He was almost finished when she returned to her room unexpectedly.
     "What are you doing?" she asked wrapped up tight in a bright blue beach towel her wet hair wrapped around her high cheek bones of her well tanned face.
      "Our little trip remember?" he answered glad to see a healthy golden glow returning to her once pale and ashen skin.
      "When do we leave?" she asked her shoulders giving a disappointing shrug.
      "At midnight." he replied throwing a bikini and a pair of sandals into the little black suitcase; which he closed.
     "Why in the middle of the night?" she whined.
     "Because, those are my instructions."
     "Good ol' Charles, always doing what he's told." she said with a mean spirit.
     "Now you be nice! Be nice, be nice." he snapped back at her insult; even though she was absolutely right. Then he felt bad for snapping at her so he opened his mouth to apologize, but then she spoke giving him a sad look of shame on her face saying "I'm so sorry Charles! I can not believe I was just so rude to you! What has gotten into me?" she said throwing her arms around his neck weeping on his shoulder a little.
     "You and I just need to get out of this house!" he hugged her tightly feeling her full breast press against his chest, her cold nipples erect from the water's caress. Her body had been filling out nicely now he had been feeding her all manners of food "I think it will be nice up in the mountains, fresh clean air, spring time, just think of all the flowers blooming in the meadows by a clear, still lake." he said picturing the scene in his head; which instantly calmed his mind and his mood. Leah said she agreed, but still balked at the idea of leaving at twelve, in the a.m. Charles laughed and informed her with a smile saying "We have to be there for the sunrise breakfast, it starts at 5:30 and it should be spectacular, here the brochure says, 'we sit out behind the lodge as the sun rises up from the east over Mt.Ida and the pristine forest below. A bounty of a feast set before us.'" he handed her the pamphlet as the two became excited for the first time, about anything, in a long time. So they ate a big dinner, went to sleep early and at the stroke of midnight, from the old grandfather clock in the hall, the duo piled into his fully stocked Jeep heading north on highway 35E.
