Falling For You In Cape May

TWENTY TWO

"You think that's funny?" She pouted.

"No." I stop and I gave her the most serious face this time.  "I'm just glad that I have that effect on you and I want to keep it that way."

She reach out and touch my upper thigh, almost caressing.  

Is she playing me?

"Oh you do babe, you do. And I am keeping it that way too."  She said, grazing lightly on Iron Man.  She's being flirty and I love it.

"Ugh! Gumaganti ka ha!  You wanted to get even huh!  Wait for it tonight, and I'll show you!"

"You better!"  She smirked.

She turned to a back alley and pushed the remote attached  to the rearview mirror.  Soon the garage door is slowly lifted, revealing a very organized garage and the cutest yellow Mini Cooper.

"You have a Mini Cooper?"  I exclaimed.

"Yes! She's my bee-bee, isn't she the cutest." She beamed. She parked next to it and I get out of the SUV, going around it to open her door.

"Is it a convertible?" I asked.

She nodded.

"I always wanted a cooper too, but has not gotten around on buying one. Aside from Iron Man stuff, I also collect cars." I tell her.

"Really? What do you have?" She asked.

"Mostly European cars, that's why I wanted a cooper too. Do you drive it?"

"I do, but mostly when I just wanted to go around the city. It's easier to park smaller cars on the city streets. Ready to go in?"

I nodded. She opened the trunk and I grab my suitcase and her overnight bag. She let Totoy out and he immediately leaps out, wagging his tail towards the door.

"Are you excited to come home sweetie?" She bend down and scratched behind his ears.

Maine opened a tiny console adjacent to the door and she punched several numbers on the pad.  I'm glad she has an installed security system in her townhouse.

When she opened the door, we walk in a state of the art kitchen.  It has stainless steel kitchen appliances, black granite kitchen countertops and white cabinets.  From there you can see a very big living room with oversized couches and on the wall is a wood burning fireplace.  The whole area is all grey, black and white with touches of pale yellow.  It is cozy. 

"How many floors do you have?"  I asked. 

I can tell that this townhouse belongs to someone rich.   The  crown moldings on the ceiling, the hardwood black floor and the interior design are of  high-end quality.

"There are three floors plus the rooftop. The first floor is where the kitchen, dining and living rooms are. Second floor is where the guest rooms are located and the third is all the master suite." She smiled.

She took my hand and started walking. "Come, let me give you a tour."

She showed me the rest of the first floor, the adjoining dining area has a table that can accommodate ten people easy and then we climbed the curved staircase that showcases a black lacework iron railing. The second floor has a big open room in the middle with medium sized couches and two wingback chairs pushed by the floor to ceiling windows that opens up to a balcony. There are shelves of books on one side and a big flatscreen TV on the other. The three guest bedrooms are on this floor. One room she converted into her boudoir, just a closet, she insisted. But that closet can be considered a boutique! Women! The guest bedrooms are decorated differently. When we reached the third floor, we stepped to small foyer that has a big round table on the center and behind it is a double door.
