Our First Meeting

I decided that I would get a little exercise. So I set out on foot at about 5pm for the mile trek to the lodge.

The lodge was a very large log cabin. It was surrounded by large pine trees. Wrapped arround the lodge was an old wooden porch, dotted with rocking chairs and small tables.

I climbed the stairs, opened the front door and peered inside. There was a large 2 sided stone fire place. Surrounding the fireplace were large comfy couches. There were lots of people hanging arround the fireplace.

I walked further into the lodge and found the dining room. Beautiful pictures of what I suspected were the surrounding woods lined the walls of the dining room. The chairs and tables were made out of a cherry wood. Vases of daisies were placed enatly in the middle of each table.

I went over to a table and started to look at the menu. Everything looked so good. Eventually I decided on the potroast with mashed potatos, peas, and an apple cobbler for desert.

After dinner I decided it was time to make the trek back to my cabin. As I walked outside I noticed that snow had started to fall. I lifted up my head and closed my eyes letting the snow wash over me. It was as if this snow was cleansing me of all the stress I had endoured this past year. I opened my eyes and started to walk towards my cabin.

After a bit I finally made it back to the cabin. I decided to stay outside and dance in the snow. I started to twirl arround like a child without abandon. Before I knew it I was humming some song I remembered from childhood.

All of a sudden I heard a branch break. I opened my eyes and spun arround to find a man standing not to far off.

He stood about 6 feet even. He had brown wavy hair that was short in the back with long bangs. His face had chizeled features.

I stood frozen not knowing what to expect from this stranger. He started to walk towards me.

"Excuse me miss. I was walking towards my cabin and noticed you dancing. I hope you don't mind that I decided to stop and watch you."

"Oh that's ok." I said red faced.

"Hi my name is Ethan. I rented a cabin not too far from here."

About this time I noticed his eyes. They were a brilliant blue. Immediately I became immediately mesmerized by them.

"Umm, Uh my name is Lilly." I said as I snapped out of it.

"Well it was nice to meet you Lilly. I have to get going now but I would really like to have dinner with you sometime."

"That sounds really nice."

"Would you have a pen and paper so I can give you my phone number?" He asked me.

"Yes just let me run inside for a moment."

I calmly walked inside the cabin. Once in there I ran arround like a maniac looking for a pen and a piece of paper. Once I had found them I regained my composure and walked back outside.

I handed him the paper and pen. He wrote down his number and handed the piece of paper and pen back to me.

"Call me anytime." He said as he walked away.

I thought to myself "Hmmmm maybe this isn't going to be as borring a winter as I had set up for myself."

Beginings

A story by Sifichick

I was all set for a very borring winter. I had decided that since the past year was so hectic that I just wanted to lounge arround and do pretty much nothing.

I had rented a cabin in Big Bear. I figured I could go skiing, drink cocoa, play in the snow ect...

Everything had been prearranged. I would have all the comforts of hom waiting for me when I arrived at my cabin. You know the necessities. A computer with high speed internet, an entertainment system with huge tv, soround sound system, dvd player ect...

I had been very specific about what kind of bathroom I wanted. I love old victorian so I wanted it to look pretty much like that except with one major ecption. I wanted a huge whirl pool tub. The kind you can sink into and let your cares fade away.

I left on Friday morning with all the anticipation of a child on christmas morning.

The plane ride was pretty uneventfull. No major turbulance. I thought to myself, "wow this is setting up to be a nice relaxfull winter."

As I stepped off the plane there was someone waiting for me with a sign that had my name written on it. I walked over to him and said "hi I'm Lily."

He escorted me to the car and we drove in silence. I sat back and admired the view. Since it was still pretty early in the season the snow hadn't started to fall. This got me excited as I hadn't seen snow fall in a long time. I decided right then and there that I was going to go dancing out in the snow when it did.

Finally we arrived at my cabin. It was everything I had asked for and then some.

The cabin was a beautiful. It had 2 stories. There was a porch with a rocking chair.

I entered it and saw the most charming decorations I had ever seen. Although it was quite large it had a very cozy atmosphere. There was a large couch with tons of pillows right in the middle of the living room. I started to think of the nights I would lay down on that couch reading a good book or watching tv.

Off to the right there was a fully stocked gormet kitchen.

To the left was the computer room. I knew I would be spending lots of time in there. lol

I started to run upstairs so I could see what my bedroom and bathroom would look like.

The bed was a 4 poster canopy bed with lots of pillows. It looked so comfortable that I wanted to snuggle right into it. But first things first.

I flew into the bathroom. There it was my very own whirlpool bath tub. I was in extacy.

I walked down stars and gave the nice gentleman a tip for driving me to my new hide away.

I decided that I would go to the lodge that night for my first meal. I was in the mood to relax and I didn't feel like cooking anything.
