Another day and another date with Kaede and Christian.
This time, the couple decided to go horseback riding. Unfortunately, with
the heat being so horrible in Southern California, it's not the best time for
beast or man.
Both decided to rent only one horse and make it a short
morning hike. But even so, the two were beginning to feel the effects of
the summer heat a bit too much for either of their tastes.
|
Christian: It's really beautiful... but I feel
like I am about to drop.
|
|
Christian: Wow, it's got to be at least eighty
degrees and it's not even ten in the morning. It's probably no
help with you wearing that...
Oh, never mind. That was my outside voice again.
::Sigh::
|
|
Kaede: Look, you COULD always take your shirt
off, Mister Wise guy. Isn't that what guys do? Just strip off and
flaunt it? I would if I could!
After all, I was wearing a shirt before and I thought
I was going to pass out. Glad I bought this tank with me. Otherwise,
I would have had to go topless.
|
|
Christian: You?
Topless?
Are you trying to make me pass out now?
|
|
Kaede: While the thought of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
sounds like fun, I think I'll say no for now. I think I would end
up passing out on top of you in this heat.
|
|
Christian: Uhm, are you trying to distract me
or what? Because you're doing a really great job of it.
|
|
Kaede: You're terrible.
Christian: I'm terrible? You're the one talking
about dropping on top of me and I'm terrible?
|
|
Kaede: You're twisting my words around.
|
|
Christian: It's pretty easy to do that when it's
eighty kabillion degrees and I'm wearing two shirts to hide my skinny
little body from my girlfriend and a freaken beanie.
I mean really.
What
the
hell.
|
|
Kaede: ::Giggle::
I think the heat is getting to you.
You're cute when you're delusional.
|
|
Christian: Remind me of that when you find my
tattered remains cooking in the burning sun.
I think I could cook
an egg on my forehead right about now.
|
|
Christian: Let's stop now for lunch...breakfast
or whatever you want to call this. I'm beat.
Kaede: Sure. If we had some cantaloupe you could
call it brunch, no?
|
|
Christian: Was that a reference to the Simpsons?
Kaede: A sort of lame one, yeah.
Christian: I knew I loved you for a reason.
|
|
Kaede: Did you just say... you loved me?
Christian: Uhm...
I think I just did.
Yeah.
::Nods Head::
I did.
Christian: Christian... that's so... sweet!
|
|
Christian helped her climb off the pony and set out
their picnic. Silence followed, though it was filled with the
sounds of nature as Kaede walked her pony off toward some trees.
Wistful, she came
back to sit beside her boyfriend.
Worried that he said too much, Christian remained
quiet as he handed her a sandwich. He lost his appetite.
