Thread: What happens in the cabin... (Sync & mypgems)

Yeah I know. I'll just be glad when mom and dad get here and they're safe. As they made their way to the stairs, Becca slightly nudged Luke. I know everything is okay but thanks. And I promise I won't disturb you when we're doing nothing. She didn't have much to do to get ready other than put on an extra layer of socks. Not so much for the warmth but that her boot were a little too big. What took the most time was tying her hair into a couple of pigtails. Hearing the 'click' of the bathroom lock turned her face a little red at remembering last night's incident. Other than a doctor, Luke was the first guy to see her boobs... She wondered if she should ask him what he thought of them. Are you out of your mind? she muttered, lightly hitting the side of her head. Don't answer that.... Becca's winter jacket was hanging in a closet downstairs and could not be mistaken for anyone else's. It was a mix of neon bright reds, yellows, and oranges. Instead of pulling the hood up, she just put on a lime green stocking hat. You'll never loose me in the snow. Or a crowd come to think of it, Becca told Luke with a grin. She had purple gloves but instead pulled on an old pair of work ones instead. The wood pile was around the side of the cabin and on the south side so the snow hadn't gotten too deep yet. The wind had died down but that just let them know how cold it was without the wind chill. The work and clothing kept them warm enough though. When they were done there was more than enough wood, the extra laid out on a tarp that was spread over the floor, to last for days. As they caught their breath afterwards, Becca turned to Luke after they saw how dark the north and west sky was. The storm wasn't over by a long shot. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Let's go take a look at the hot tub. The 'tub' was actually a natural hot spring that had been the reason the cabin was built here in the first place. It was roughly 7-8 feet across and about 3-4 feet deep. A bench had been installed so a person could sit and enjoy the hot water bubbling up. There was nothing better, Becca knew, to relax in after a long day of hiking in the surrounding areas. As they got nearer, they could see the cloud of vapor coming off of the unfrozen surface. Crouching, she dipped an ungloved hand into the pool and smiled up at her brother. Still hot as ever. Hope we get a chance to take a dip before going back home. She had always wanted to skinnydip here and without the parents it was doable. After the fiasco last night and now the storm, Becca knew it wasn't happening. It would probably make poor Luke's eyes go 'TiltTiltTilt' seeing her nude again. The seemed to be falling heavier and the wind was picking up again. Time to go back inside. I remember the time we came up here and I saw snow when it was almost June. Blew my tiny little mind! Becca chuckled. I thought the parents had brought it down from the North Pole just for me. If I remember correctly I then proceeded to slip and fall face first into the mud in my new clothes. Mum and dad didn't get mad, they just laughed and got me cleaned up. Their parents never seemed to get mad with their children. It helped that the kids were fairly responsible. One thing that did get them upset was when the teasing and picking between Becca and Luke devolved to arguments. She hadn't told Luke, but Becca had caught mum crying after one of the blowups. Becca went back up to her room to change into shorts instead of keeping her pants on. They would be near the fire so it would be warm enough. If it got cold, a pair of sweats or a blanket would do nicely. Then she joined her brother downstairs. Truth to her word, Becca was not making a sound as she laid on 'her' couch in front of the fire. She was rotating between three things reading a novel, working on sketches in her sketchbook, or looking at a book with photos of Tuscany in it. That was a place she wanted to do a bike trip through. There wouldn't be any true destinations and all the time to get there. A glance up saw Luke and the smile Becca had was hidden by the book. She figured he would hate that kind of trip because it wasn't planned out to the nth degree. Maybe a little planning was good but it would be hard given her idea of wandering. Hey big brother? Got a question for you... Goodness knew what kind of response she would get from Luke. Hopefully an honest one. If you could take a trip or vacation anywhere in the world with no time frame where would you take it? Just curious is all. For me it would a summer biking through Tuscany. Becca held up the book. Or doing the same on the South Island of New Zealand. Or biking the Alaska Highway and visiting Denali national park. And doing it with somebody...somebody I care about I guess. Just going out and seeing pretty things and places and enjoying ourselves. I know its a silly question but... Her eyes turned from Luke to gaze into the fire then softly said I just...don't want to fight all the time and then be hating you 20 or 30 years down the road.
