Saving Who?

Chapter 26

"I'll just send everyone a text cause my phone is about to die." she agreed.

Kat quickly sent texts to everyone saying that she and Talen were going to Maine. She could almost feel Jon and the girls screaming with pleasure. Once that was done, almost instantly, her phone went dead.

The Porsche made the ride smooth, that the seven hour journey felt like 2. Talen pulled up to a little bed and breakfast that looked like it was on the cover of a home magazine. It was 7 in the morning and the both of them couldn't believe what they had done.

"Sorry honey, we only have one room left and that's the most expensive one." the elder lady said.

"It's alright, we'll take it." Kat said not wanting to cause any awkward situations.

She didn't think about the sleeping arrangements. Talen had requested for a room which had to single beds, but obviously that wasn't going to happen.

"Here's the key darlin. My husband will show you the way." her husband brought us up a spiral staircase at the back of the house. It was separated from the rest of the rooms.

"So here's your room, the beautiful view is all yours. I noticed you don't have any clothes with you?" the old man looked at us.

"Yes, we came here out on a whim." Talen explained.

"Ah, keeping it exciting. Don't worry, I'll ask the local stores to send over some things if you want?" he offered.

"That would be wonderful. THank you very much sir." Kat said.

He promised to come back in an hour with the clothes, and he left us a bottle of wine.

"This is really great." Kat sighed as she sat on the private balcony that faced the ocean with Talen.

"Here's to us." he lifted his glass and so did she.

They lazed around until the inn keeper returned with the clothes. Kat chose 2 dresses and under clothes. Talen chose a pair of shorts and 2 shirts. "You can pay for them on your check out day. I'll keep the price tags for you." he said.

"Charge them to my card." Kat said taking her wallet out.

"No, I've got it this time." Talen said sternly. 

When the innkeepr did leave, she looked at him with narrow eyes "I could have paid for those. You did pay for the room."

"It's alright. This trip is on me." he said avoiding her gaze.

"Lunch is on me then. No questions asked." she walked into the toilet not waiting for his response. 

She came back out wrapped in a fluffy white robe that was tied around the waist. "You can go on in if you want." she told him from the bedroom.

When they were ready, they got dressed and headed out. Deciding to walk around the town, they left the car in the car park. 

"I just realised that I've never actually seen you dress so casually." she took in his relaxed manor.

"Is that a good thing or bad thing?" he looked at her through his dark Ray bans.

She looked pretty damn great, he thought. Her breezy dress made her look so free. "Yes, that's  a compliment."

"I've never seen you in a dress since Christmas.. and New Year." he commented, once again his eyes lingered on her long legs again.

"Mmm yea, not really a fan of dresses.. only when I'm forced to."  they strolled the streets that were already bustling with tourists.
