The Hues of Liza

Chapter 7: The Hues of Yahtzee

We only walked for about four minutes before we stood in front of the beautiful wooden cabin with lots of windows. I looked at him, "Is every place you own straight out of a movie or something?" He laughed his deep laugh.

"I actually am kind of friends with one of the best architects in North America. He designed every house on my property." I looked at him.

"Are you saying you have more?" I probably looked like a fish out of water, literally.

"I have about six houses on my property, but 3 of them are occupied by some of my closest friends. I gifted it to them and their families/future families, since they're all far enough from each other to have peace and personal space." I looked at him in awe. He opened the door and turned the lights on. There was a big open loft and a single stair case leading up to it, the first floor had a kitchen, living room, and two guest bedrooms with bathrooms in them. The upstairs had the loft, a guest bathroom and two more bedrooms, but these bedrooms were way bigger than the two downstairs and also had their own bathrooms. He led me into one of the rooms, "Here you can use this bathroom, there should be everything you need on the shelving next to the shower. If you need anything I'll be in this other bedroom." I stepped in and couldn't help but admire it, Two of the walls were windows but as Luke had said earlier they're one way so if a creeper shows up theres nothing to worry about. I stepped into the bathroom on the left wall and saw a giant walk in closet with a bench in the middle, it was empty like no one had been in this room before. I stopped looking around and showered and rinsed my body off. I got out and wrapped myself in a towel as I realized I didn't have any clean underwear and was probably gonna have to wear the same pair, but that my clothes were soaked from me putting them back on. Wrapped in the towel I walked to the bedroom he was in and knocked,

"Hey Luke, uh I don't have any dry clothes." I heard a drawer scrape against wood and the door open. He was in a towel too, I look at what he's handing me and realize he was offering me clothes. "Thank you" I said as I turned and walked back to the room to put them on. Once I was dressed I heard Luke head downstairs so I decided to walked down with him.

"Would you like to throw your clothes in the wash with mine? it should only take like an hour for them to be cleaned and dried."

"Oh sweet thank you" I said as I handed him my little bundle of clothes. I hadn't realized how much taller he was than me until now. I was 5'9" and he towered over me at 6'7" or something. He disappeared behind the kitchen and I took the moment to walked around and admire the rest of the downstairs.

"Would you like to play a board game or watch a movie while we wait?" He said coming up behind me.

"What about both?" I said smiling. He smiled back.

"I like that idea, follow me the games are upstairs and the bigger tv too." We walked back up the stairs and he grabbed a blanket and tossed it to me. I laid it out on the floor and he opened up a cabinet of a bunch of board games and gestured me to it. I walked over and started to decide what game we would be playing and he walked back towards the stairs, "Would you like something to drink?" He asked as he walked down.

"Not to sound like every girl my age but do you have any rosé? and like if you happen to have powdered donuts too bring those with it." I said laughing because he probably didn't have either. I heard his shuffle through the fridge and open a few cabinets when I decided on a game, Yahtzee. He came upstairs with a armful of powdered donuts, a bottle of rosé, a glass, and a couple of beers I've never heard of. The can had a wolf and some kind of lettering I couldn't read. He sat down as I pulled the dice and such out of the box, he grabbed a remote and turned on his smart tv.

"I've got all of the platforms, anything specific you'd like to watch?" His eyes were focused on the screen.

"Surprise me." I said as he clicked on a title. I hadn't paid any attention to the screen but when I heard the Star Wars opening I jumped and screamed. He started laughing when I started to sing along with the tune. I sat back down and he just watched me as I grabbed a couple of donut packs and the bottle and glass and threw a beer in his lap. "Well are you ready for your ass to get kicked?" He smiled and we began drinking and playing the game.

I hadn't realized we dozed off until I woke up to the sun beaming in through the window and onto my face. I had a pretty bad hangover from finishing off the entire bottle, I felt tingles on my stomach and I thought it was part of the hangover until I looked down and saw an arm. I looked behind me and saw Luke passed out, we were on the floor and the Yahtzee pieces had found their way back into the box somehow. I slipped out from under his arms and went down into the kitchen to get some water and make us a meaty and carb loaded breakfast to get over this hangover. I made myself a cup of water and found the pans, I opened the fridge and thanked god that it was completely stocked with food. I buttered the pan and turned the heat on and started to cook sausage on it and eggs on another, I also threw some bacon into a skillet. I popped some biscuits into the oven and turned on the coffee pot next to the toaster. I heard Luke wake up and sat running around like a crazy person.

"Liza?!

"Liza?!"

"I'm down here!" I said trying to get him to calm down. He came down and walked into the kitchen.

"You didn't have to make breakfast, I could've done it." He said as he came to stir the eggs, but I pushed him out of the kitchen.

"I didn't have to but I wanted to. Besides I figured you'd probably be as hungover as me with how much we drank last night." He smiled at me. I poured him cup of coffee remembering he likes his coffee black.

"You remembered?" I nodded.

"Of course I remembered. Thats how I gave you my number." He smiled and started to drink his coffee and I pulled the biscuits out of the oven. I buttered the biscuits and cut them in half and placed them on plates, put sausage, egg, and cheese on it, four pieces of bacon on the side then passed it to him.

"Thank you Liza." he said as he took a bite into the sandwich, "Oh my goddess this is the most amazing thing I've ever tasted." He said moaning with his mouth full. I couldn't help but laugh really hard, my head pounded but to see a giant man this beautiful get so sexual about a breakfast sandwich was too funny. Once I had stopped laughing I noticed he was staring at me. "Do you know how amazing you are? I mean only two dates with you and I want to do anything and everything I can do make sure you're always happy and safe." I smiled and felt my heart flutter. I made myself a plate with a smaller mug of coffee and cream and sat down next to him.

We had forgotten about the clothes last night so we had to wait for them to rewash and dry. I was skipping school today which wasn't a big deal because Thursdays I only have two classes anyways, but I did have to work tonight so I had to go back soon. Once my clothes were dried I walked into the same bathroom upstairs and changed back into them. I found my clip clipped onto my skirt waist band and pulled my hair back again, then walked downstairs. Luke was in grey shorts and white t-shirt with a pair of tennis shoes sitting at the counter we had eaten our breakfast together at.

"Alright I'm ready to go!" I said smiling, and we walked back to his place where there were people doing jobs in the yard, in the kitchen and cleaning the house even. It seemed a lot more busy with that amount of people in it. We walked through the house and back to his SUV, he opened the door for me and we headed back to my place. Mid drive it had stared to rain and I couldn't help but admire the rain falling against my window and I grabbed Lukes hand and held it. I felt the tingles again and smiled, and too soon we pulled into the driveway of my house. He got out and walked me to the door us both getting soaked in the rain in the process. "Thank you for the best date I've had in my entire life. I hope we could do that again soon." I said as he smiled and leaned down to kiss me in the rain. It was like one of those cliche scenes you see in the movies but better, there were sparks and butterflies and my new favorite person standing in front of me. All my troubles and hardships had gone down the drain as his lips were on mine, but it was cut too short once we heard a throat clear at the door and a very pissed off Adam stood before us.
