"Buhaaahhaa!! "Robert faked that he was scaring us, the next morning. "Get ready ..you are meeting ghosts today. We are going to Ghost Out-post Haunted house. Beware of Death Support, Hallway of the Dead, Vortex Room, and the new exciting Boris and Ernie Show plus 13 more unique, state of the art animatronics filled rooms designed for fun and fright. This is not for the timid or young children if they are afraid of the dark, as they have dark hallways as well as startling movements. "Robert said and everyone hooted. But I stiffened, I hated ghost houses. I'm not going there anyhow.
"And for those who still are little toddlers ..who want to skip the ghost house can see the Mirror Lake state park in front of it. It's a romantic one so do drag your partners with you. Sandstone bluffs on both sides, go fishing or swimming "Robert continued.
' I'm going to see the romantic lake even if I'm all alone 'I thought in my mind and nodded my head.
"Me too, " Chris said meekly in my left ear. And I gasped.
" Can you read my thoughts? "I asked completely terrified because if he could do so then he must have heard all those nasty things that cross my mind when I see him shirtless, s**t!!
"No, "he said completely amused by my question.
Almost everyone was up for the ghost house except the two of us.
The lake was beautiful, it glistened gold due to the sun rays. People, though most couples were sitting near the river holding hands.
"Will we go kayaking?? "He asked softly. His blue eyes looked beautiful in the sun.
"What's kayak..., whatever? "I asked as I couldn't pronounce that awful word.
"It's kaya +king ...leave, we'll try it "saying that he pulled me near the lake.
He paid someone and he brought a banana shaped boat near the surface handed us the life jacket and disappeared.
We kept on paddling till we were away from noises. We were between sandstones and that was unusually beautiful.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? "I said looking at the waters.
"I see something even more beautiful "he replied cheekily.
"What? "I turned to him and he was looking straight into my eyes.
"You are beautiful, Miss. It's just Elizabeth " he said straight.
"Now, is that another way to irritate me, Mr.shirtless show off? "I muttered but I was completely flushed up due to his earlier compliment or comment or whatever it was.
"No, it's the truth, "he said it never leaving my eyes, "but I would love to irritate you woman "he grinned holding my chin in his hands." but only if I had that much time "he shrugged.
"What do you mean? "I said completely surprised.
"Will you come on a date with me? "He asked finally.
My jaw dropped, eyes popped out, brain stopped working, heart skipped a beat and what not.
"Ye---essss "I stammered and nodded furiously.
