Chapter 8: Eight

As morning arrived, the early morning sunlight frolicsome stream to the gap of the curtains, using its warmth to caress the two sleeping body on the bed.

Adam biological clock is always on time; at seven in the morning, the man groaned and open his eyes to see his wife still curl up in his arm, looking so sweet and peacefully sleeping. she is so delicate and frail, contrast to his own body.

'I can't believe you are mine?'

The warm of the sunlight reflected on her face, painting a dash of color to her otherwise pale one. Those long lashes trembled, a sign of her waking up. Still in his arms she rubbed her face in his chest before rousing completely.

"Good morning kitten" adam greeted before going for a quick kiss.

"Good morning" a breathless voice replied back.

"We should probably get up and wash up now, the guide would be here in a minute." adam said before raising from the bed.

"You should go wash up first, this bed is so comfortable and warmth and inviting and..."

"And you don't want to get up, I know. I know" he chided back before going to the bathroom doing his morning routine.

After doing all of that, he go out to be greeted to the picture of a little kitten, still in her warm cocoons, smiling brightly.

"Get up now or we would be late for our breakfast"

"Breakfast?"

"Yes, breakfast. Go on now, up"

She still look sceptical, holding the quilt contemplating but i take that the breakfast won her in the end because she get up and started to freshen up.

The breakfast consists of chocolate bread, cherry almond scones and coffee, well coffee for me, hers is warm chocolate.

"Before going home, can we came eat in here again?"

"I know you would ask that, of course."

"Adam" a person interrupt their conversation before sitting in their table, she even sit on adams side.

"Lorie what are you doing here?" sydney ask surprise to see her when they are on the other side of the world.

"Surprise, I'm on a vacation, Adam didn't say to you that I've visit him the other night?" she smile trying to provoke her.

"You're the ghost" disbelieve is in her eyes before looking at her then bowing her head, shoulder shaking in suppress laughter.

"Pardon?"

"Nothing, it's just an inside jokes of the two of us" Adam respond even covering sydney mouth to avoid spilling it.

Lorie looks sceptical but decided to comment with it.

"Where are you going after breakfast? Can i came with you?" lorie ask, even touching his hand in the proccess.

'what the heck.' adam thought. The reason why she always come to his office on the guise of asking about sydney and even when coming in their room is because she like me?.

Seeing sydney's posture, back in her poker face one, sitting rigidly on her chair, coldly looking at her, or her hand holding my arm.

"I'm sorry, we book a guide for just the two of us, and he arranged all our trip, fit for a couple, so if you excuse us." he decline and pulling sydneys hand, they go to the cashier, paying their bills and even getting a dozen of passion fruit macaroons on the go making the face of sydney glow. She even pointed that we should get some cookies as well.

Our guide is waiting for us in the dock, waving at us gesturing to that we should come aboard the yacht.

"This is so comfortable." sydney exclaimed sitting on one of the bean bag scattered in the deck still holding her food.

Opening the container, she offer one to our guide before hearing his explanation to what they are heading to.

The scenic view is impressive, water falls tumbling down the sharp rock walls and glacier calve creating small iceberg. We even saw some wildlife, a bear busy picking berries on land which our guide say is a national forest and a seals, many which are still young making her gushing on how cute they are.

"How is it?" adam ask when they are now on land, currently sitting in their guide's car going to the native heritage center.

"It's good."

"The view or the food?" he question again. Their guide decided that they should eat on the yatch before going on land, dishing them a mouth watering barbecue wild halibut, grilled oysters and spot prawns.

"Can i say both?" making adam and luke their tour guide laugh.

"If you want, one of the resto bar is hosting a barbecue tonight, drink a few locally made beers before going to sleep"

"Interesting. We would like to partake with that" adam answers for the two of them. Before looking outside when the car stops.

The hall are full with exibits and local vendors displaying and selling there handmade crafts and arts. One place even offer dancings and storytelling about their native culture.

Holding hands, we decided to look for something we would bring home as a memorabilia and gifts for the staffs at home. My assistant even says that he wants local foods as his thank you gift for doing my work while I'm away.

"Should we bring something to your relatives also?" sydney asked while holding a wine made of berries.

"No, don't bother, They're not my relatives anymore, when my parents died, instead of helping me on stabilising my father's business, they instead attack it to bankruptcy. Caving the it's asset by doing so."

"Sorry"

"No it's okay, that's in the past already, i have you now so I'm not alone anymore"

Coming to the bar, it's jam packed with tourist and local alike, the smell of delicious barbecue permeates the air.

"We should look for a table before ordering for something to eat" luke says before guiding us in one af a vacant table. He even decided to order for us knowing what is the on-season foods.

Copper lemon salmon, smoked salmon, oysters, shrimps, prawns and scallops grace our table much to sydneys delight, we even tried bucket of butts which is basically a chicken nuggets and a halibut.

"Can i try it?" before eyeing at one of the beer on the ice bucket.

"Sure if you want some, just drink it slowly." opening one for her to taste.

Adam and luke are talking when they realised that one of them are silent, just drinking and eating the food on the table.

"Hey, sydney, are you drunk?" he questioned even poking her cheek in the process.

"no."

"A person who is drunk does not admit that she does." she just put her tongue out as a reply.

"Adam."

"uhmm"

"A ghost is walking towards us" making luke dumbfounded before looking at there line of sight.

"Sydney, Don't call her a ghost, that's rude."

"You started it first."

"Adam, nice seeing you here." lorie says before looking at Sydney.

"Can i talk to her for a minute?" she ask gesturing me. Walking to the corner where it is deserted.

"okay."
