Disclaimer: I own nothing still. This is it! I am done with this little story. I will be a little slower getting the next couple of stories out. I go back to work in a couple of weeks (summer vacation has been great but it is back to helping young minds develop). I hope you enjoy!
I pulled up to my cabin overlooking my vineyard. I was glad to be home but I was already missing Johnathan. I had really hoped I would be coming back knowing I would only be here a short time before I would head back to Homer or he would come to Napa Valley to see me.
I plunged into work head first. I hired a nice couple to over-see the day to day workings of the vineyard. They were in their fifties and looking for a change of scenery. Everything was running like clockwork so I decided to head to town and visit some friends and catch up on everything I had missed while I had been gone.
"Alright Samantha," my friend Melissa started. "You seem a little gloomy. Spill it. What's wrong?"
I told her about Johnathan and about how stupid I was for falling in love with him. "Oh Samantha. You know damn good and well you weren't stupid. You deserve to be happy and even if he was stupid and didn't fall in love with you, that's alright because you were happy even if it was only for a couple of weeks. You shouldn't be feeling sad…he should because he is missing out on a great woman."
I always knew I could count on Melissa to make me feel better. I left and headed back to my place. When I pulled up I noticed a rental car sitting in my driveway. I looked around and saw no one. I walked up to my front door, unlocked it, went in and locked the door back. I walked through the cabin making sure all was safe and secure. I went into the kitchen to call the police so I could get some help finding out who the rental belonged to when I looked out the little window over the sink and I saw him.
I went out the back door, down the sone path to the little creek that ran behind my cabin. "Hey," I said walking up behind him. "What are you doing here?"
Johnathan turned around, "I came to see my girl, if you'll have me."
"What?" I was shocked. He called me 'his girl.'
"Sam. I should have told you before you left but," he walked up and took my hands, "I guess I was afraid of my own feelings. I love you Samantha. I don't know how this is going to work, me being gone with crabbing and personal appearances and you being here but we can make it work somehow can't we?" He looked at me, I had tears rolling down my face. "If you want me, that is."
I threw my arms around Johnathan's neck, "Of coarse I want you! I love you and we will make this work."
Johnathan bent down and kissed me with more passion that we had ever had. He stood back up, glanced around and asked, "Is the cabin as nice on the inside as it is on the outside? This place is amazing."
"Well," I said taking his hand and walking back to the cabin, "The inside of the cabin is nice but the real showcase is in my bedroom." I looked up into his eyes as he opened the door and we walked in, closing the door behind us.
