Page 56 of Unwrapping Love

“With no view? That’s a crime.”

“I thought so too but not enough to not buy the place. The truth is, if I’m looking at the ocean while I’m working, then I won’t get work done. So it’s better in the long run. There’s also another sitting area up there that doesn’t get used.”

His living room and kitchen were open in the back with a dining table in the middle.

“You’ve got nice taste in furnishings.”

“I’m pretty simple.”

Most of his stuff was wood, black or grays. The floors were gray, the kitchen white, his furniture another shade of gray. Basic in his eyes.

“The bedrooms are upstairs?”

“There are two upstairs and then one in the lower level.”

“Let’s go up first. I’m assuming that is your room.”

He moved and put his arm around her. “Ours.”

She smiled. “Ours. I like the sound of that.”

They went up the stairs and to the right and his primary. “Holy shit. I thought the view from your bed in the mountains was sweet, but that’s nothing compared to this.”

“I know, right?”

His bed was facing the glass doors and the balcony outside, the ocean in the distance.

“I’m going to struggle to get out of bed,” she said.

“I always struggle with you next to me.”

She turned her head to the side, it landing against his chest. “Aww. I feel the same. Can’t wait to try that out later.”

He wiggled his eyebrows at her. “Me neither. Bath through there.”

She popped her head in. “Double sinks. Nice. That shower is massive and the tub to die for. I’d be afraid people could see me.”

The tub was in front of a large window. “Nope. The glass is covered. They can’t see in.”

“Maybe I’ll try it when all my devices are on my arms. I don’t sit in water when it’s on my leg. They won’t stay on.”

He knew those things. The same with swimming. She didn’t do it often though she enjoyed it.

She said she wanted to learn to surf and he’d told her if she wore a dry suit, then her devices would stay dry. Not ideal for surfing but anything to get her out there and comfortable.

He had a variety of tapes that could go over her devices to try also.

“I’ve got some things that might help. I’ll show you later,” he said.

She left his room and looked into the spare that had its own bathroom, then they went to the lower level.

“This is a small version of the cabin,” she said. He had a pool table and darts down here. A bar and a poker table.

“There is a guest bedroom over there. A full bath by the door so people can access it quickly from outside.”

“It’s like an outdoor living room,” she said, opening the doors.

“That’s the plan.”
