Chapter 9

A Surprise

He leans in towards her. He inhales. “Mmm, pineapple,” he whispers, happily and inhales again, deeply. He wipes his eyes and sniffles. “Lanie, Wake up, Honey,” he asks, softly.

“No, I’m dreaming.” He put his hands on her face. She immediately opened her eyes to see him and she grabbed him and held him so tight. She felt his tears on her face. She couldn’t help but cry, too, but it wasn’t sadness, it was pure joy. He kissed her forehead, her eyelids, and cheeks. “I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for you to find me,” she admitted.

“I am so glad to see you,” he said, staring into her blue eyes.

“Kiss me, please,” she begged.

He obliged. Tim held her head in his hands, just looking at her, scanning her face as if to make sure there was no part he was going to miss. “You don’t know how long I have waited to kiss you again,” he said.

She was surprised how soft his beard was. It still made her face itch. “Are you okay?” Lanie asked.

“I’m fine, Baby,” he smiled, caressing her face. He wiped his eyes, getting a good look at her again.

“If I ever see Mandy again, I’ll slap the piss out of her!” she exclaimed, angrily.

“Don’t bother, that’s history,” he said, disinterested.

“How many sisters does Levi have?” Lanie asked, curiously.

“Four,” he said quickly. “Lanie, I don’t want to talk about the Garrets,” he said. She sat up and kissed him. “That’s what I’m talking about,” he said, inspired.

“Where are we and why have I been cut off from the world?” Lanie asked, looking at him with determination.

“Lanie, I had to protect you, I had to make sure you were safe,” he said, sternly. “You are my only concern. Actually, we are above my garage,” he said, coming back to his senses. “This is my office / apartment. I figured one day this is where I’d be staying when I was in the doghouse,” he admitted.

“Some doghouse,” she commented.

“We’re at my house in Bellport, New York,” he explained.

“You never told me you have a house here,” she noticed.

“It hadn’t come up. I just come here to get away some times,” he said. “My ‘Alaska,’ you could say,” he said with a smile.

“This must be a huge garage,” she said.

“Just ten cars,” he said, modestly. “I only have five in here right now,” he said out loud.

“I only want two of those spaces,” she admitted.

“They are yours,” he said with a smile. “You can have as many as you want,” he said, hugging her. She looked out the window. “Look at the view, Lanie; nothing but water,” he invited her.

“You are such a fish!” she said, shaking her head. She grabbed his jean pockets, pulling him closer to her. She grabbed a piece of paper in his back pocket, grabbing his backside. “What’s this?” she asked.

“Oh, I got a ticket for speeding, trying to get here a little faster. If I could have kept my cool, I could have avoided the ticket.
