Ah Venus, You just put tears in my eyes. It makes me happy that someone can get Owen to make a move. I can only joke about it *thinks* and dream of it also. ;D
Here is something for NanaBee, while you are writing something for me. I will be waiting for it and I can't wait to see it but for now, it is getting late. Her it goes.
Luke and NanaBee.
Last time that Luke had been to the beach, he met Bee for the very first time and watched the sunset in the distance from a secluded area. He wanted to get to know Bee more and take her out on many dates. He loved her very much and enjoyed her company. He had been travelling with his brother, Owen, when they spotted Bee on the beach. Thanks to Owen’s forthrightness, he asked someone called Lotus to introduce his brother, Luke, to the beautiful woman on the beach. Lotus was staying with Bee, her friend, and while Luke and Bee watched the sunset, Owen and Lotus waited patiently in Bee’s car, for their return. Waiting was a long process and the two fell asleep while waiting for the return of the others. Luckily, Bee didn’t mind them using the air conditioning in her car. It was such a hot day, they really needed to keep cool.
*****
Once again, it was a lovely day and Luke wanted to take Bee on a trip to Greece. Lotus had been there before and knew the locations very well. She had suggested some places for the loving couple to visit and enjoy each other’s company. The strange thing though was that Luke had invited Owen and Lotus along with them. Bee would once again have the company of her zany Aussie friend, while Luke would have Owen tag along and keep Lotus interested. Bee and Luke would once again sneak off to a destination suggested, so they could be alone and enjoy each other’s company. You might say that they were being chaperoned by Owen and Lotus. The plane trip was pleasant but it was a hot day and the air conditioning in the plane was appreciated very much. Luke and Bee sat together and chatted to each other while Owen was stuck with Lotus in the seats behind them. “Okay Lotus, once again we are chaperoning my brother and your friend.” Sighed Owen. “They most likely will sneak off again, so I don’t know how that is referred to as chaperoning someone.” He mused. “Well it isn’t my fault that you are always stuck with me. At least Bee enjoys my company, even if you don’t.” commented Lotus. She said it with a smile on her face though. “Aw come on. I am not stuck with you but I enjoy your company. Just remember that it is a hot day and Greece is a hot country, so please give me some room. I am from Texas not Tasmania, in Australia. Texas is a big place and we need the room because it is so hot there. That's my excuse anyway.” Owen laughed. Lotus thought that was amusing and they both sat back for the journey to Greece wondering where they would end up next, waiting for Luke and Bee to appear on the scene again.
When they arrived in Greece, the airport seemed to be in the middle of nowhere and they had to travel on a bus to Athens. They had booked rooms in a motel that was in the old part of Athens. There was a wonderful view of the Acropolis from the bedrooms and the Acropolis looked even better on the roof-top, at night time, when it was lit up and could be seen for miles around. “I think that the rooms have been mixed up Owen,” said Lotus “Bee and Luke seem to have the same room and I am sharing a room with you.” Owen laughed and said, “That sounds like Luke. He is giving us a subtle hint to leave them both alone.” “They are about as subtle as a rock falling onto someone from the roof-top.” Lotus laughed. “At least we have the good, old air conditioning again. We surely can’t get that hot again.” Commented Owen. Lotus knew how hot Greece became though and hoped that the blonde haired Texan was used to this kind of heat. The first visit would be to the Acropolis. It seemed like a long way to travel but then it looked so close from where they were staying. Luke and Bee held hands as the walked up the winding path to the top of the Acropolis. When they finally reached the top, they were tired and the heat affected them a lot. Never the less, they decided to look at the Parthenon and walk inside and admire the architecture. That isn’t all that Luke was admiring. Owen and Lotus walked to the museum at the back of the Acropolis, seeking out the coolness. It was far too hot for them. “Some chaperones” laughed Luke. Bee laughed with him and was happy that they had some privacy to themselves. Even though it was hot, Bee didn’t mind Luke’s arm around her shoulder nor did Luke mind Bee’s arm around his waist. They were there to enjoy themselves and to get to know each other better. “I love the scenery from the Acropolis and the architecture is fantastic. You are also fantastic and I love your company. I also love you very much.” He fumbled for words to say. “Would you like to visit the shops later and then go to Delphi tomorrow? Delphi is a long way from Athens but it is extremely beautiful there from what I have seen in brochures. I love the ruins in Greece because they have so much history and I find this country very romantic.” Said Luke. “I would love to do that, Luke” said Bee, “it sounds like a great idea to me and we can relax at the motel later.” They both smiled at each other and Luke looked deep into her eyes and told her how marvellous a person she was and how attractive she is. While they were in the Parthenon, they hugged and kissed, passionately. No one else would bother them and they didn’t care anyway. Who would be crazy enough to stay out in the midday sun? Later on, Owen and Lotus walked back to the motel to get out of the sun and Luke and Bee walked to the shops to look for souvenirs. Luke chose a shop not too far away from the motel but it was the city of Athens. The old part of Athens was were the motel was and where they were staying. Inside the shop it was a bit cooler and they both had time to look at the souvenirs of Athens. Luke asked what Bee wanted to have and she, eventually, chose an antique ring, which was of magnificent workmanship. Luke smiled and bought it for her, then had the pleasure of putting it on her delicate hand. Bee thanked him and cuddled him for being such a wonderful person. “I will never forget this moment Luke because it means so much to me. You are the kindest man that I have ever met.” Bee blushed. “You deserve a beautiful object like that ring and I believe in buying the very best for you. You are the most beautiful person that I have ever met. You are beautiful on the outside and beautiful within. Your heart is made of gold and you are far too precious to me. I never want to lose you.” Luke bent down and gave Bee a long kiss and held her close to him. It felt so good to be loved by such a caring man and when he held her in his strong arms, she felt like a princess. She was very special indeed. They walked back to the motel and Luke enjoyed the presence of her company. He adored her very much and loved her dearly.

Continued..............
The next day they visited Delphi, which was a long way from Athens and high up in the hills. It was 42 degrees Celsius that day and they were thankful that Lotus had warned them that there was only one tap in Delphi. It was very hot and they brought their own, cold water so they wouldn’t dehydrate. The only other water source there was in a large restaurant across from Delphi or perhaps I should say ancient Delphi. The bus trip was long and hot and the bus route was difficult when going through the old villages up the hills. They had steep streets and they were very narrow. The bus could just make it through the narrow streets and turn the corners but it had to go at a very slow speed. It wasn’t an easy trip to Delphi at all. The houses on the hill were all white and very old. It really looked as though they were going back in time to an ancient place. They were of course, but it still seemed odd that the place had not really changed for hundreds of years. More amazing yet, were the white houses. All the houses throughout Greece where white and on the Greek Islands they were white also. It was a beautiful sight to behold. When they finally reached Delphi, it was good to stretch their legs again. After visiting the museum next to ancient Dephi and learning of the history of the place, they admired the statues and other things that were taken from ancient Delphi. The museum was cool and it was a shame to leave it. Once again they were out in the hot air. Owen and Lotus had only come along to take some photos of Bee and Luke and not for any other reason. It was far too hot for them and they always complained. After taking photos of the loving couple in the market place or rather, where the market place had been and also outside the money house, as it was called in ancient times, Bee and Luke were left to themselves. The so-called chaperones retreated to the restaurant across the road and stayed there, out of the heat. They chatted until the others decided to return later.
In ancient Delphi, they were shown the old Greek writing on the walls and guides there commented on how they had no idea what it said on the walls because no one knew ancient Greek. The guides also mentioned that the oracle was supposed to have been kept there. It was a large place and an ampitheatre was said to be at the top of the hill, if anyone wished to visit it. It was a long way up the hill and not many people visited there that day. Instead they just took a few photos of each other next to the large, ancient buildings and large boulders that were about them. When they were finished seeing as much of ancient Delphi that they wanted to, they made their way across to the restaurant and had lunch there. Everyone was ready to go back to the motel after lunch and planned to collapse on their beds and try to cool off. The bus trip would be the most tiring part of the journey, once again, but the thought of a cold shower and air conditioned room seemed well worth their while.
When the bus finally reached Athens, they all got off and continued onto the motel. This time Owen and Lotus held hands as well as Luke and Bee. Both females were smiling like Cheshire cats and were as happy as Larry. “Don’t fall down those steep stairs ladies, the streets in old Athens are pretty narrow and it is easy to fall down them, because they are without any railing to hold onto. It makes you wonder how they coped hundreds of years ago.” Luke said. “They probably had bruises all over them because they fell down the stairs frequently.” Laughed Owen. They all laughed especially when Lotus nearly fell down the stairs because they were so darn narrow. “This wouldn’t have been the first time a tourist had done that Lotus, so don’t feel bad that you are slightly clumsy. I will hold on to you tighter and keep you safe.” Teased Owen and Luke and Bee walked ahead, laughing at Owen’s flirtatious ways. What a tease he was. Back at the motel they grabbed their cool showers and rested on their beds.
After dinner, Luke and Bee went to look at the Acropolis, from the roof. It was dark up on the roof but the Acropolis was lit up at night and the Parthenon could be seen, as well as the museum that held some of the artifacts, at the back of the Acropolis. The moon was shining and it was a full moon. It looked extremely romantic from where they were. Luke handed Bee a red rose that he had bought in the foyer of the motel. “I bought this for you because you mean so much to me and you are so beautiful. I want our love to be forever and never die. This is only a short moment in our lives but I hope to make our love last for our lifetime.” Said Luke, lovingly. He looked into Bee’s eyes and smiled, “You have the prettiest brown eyes that I have ever seen and your smile and figure match perfectly. To me you are the most perfect person ever. In the moonlight, you are so attractive and I love you dearly. Please don’t ever let this time be forgotten.” A tear fell from her one of her eyes and he wiped it away gently with his hand. Bee was truly happy and had never been so flattered in all her life. They had a great time in Greece and it was only the beginning of more holidays to come. Luke bent down to Bee, embraced her in his arms and gave her a passionate kiss. She held the rose carefully, and put her arms around his waist. They kissed tenderly and their hearts beat in unison. Never before had Luke shown such passionate love to a woman before. His lovely lady was the only woman for him and he never wanted to let go of her.
Their silhouettes could be seen with the moon behind them and the night was cool and refreshing. It seemed as though the beams from the moon were only meant for them, that night, and the stars that shone above, shone for them only. This was just another landmark in their lives together. Life had only just begun for them. This is true love.
Lotus had fallen asleep with Owen, on the bed. Owen rolled over and hugged her, giving her a kiss on the forehead. “Lotus, even though you can’t hear me, I love you but I have to admit that you sure are slow on the up take.” He quietly laughed and hugged her until he too fell asleep.
I sometimes wonder who is slow on the up take and when something will finally happen. I sure would have enjoyed that hug more if I were awake though.

For Lotus, a fun friend and wonderful soul:
Owen and Lotus
Owen walked into the National Library of Ireland and looked around. Damn he thought, there's so many books here I don't know where to begin. While he looked around, a woman stood near him, obviously looking for help too. He raised his head at her slightly as if to say hello, but she looked shocked so he turned away.
Must be a tourist, he thought. Jees, I'm a tourist myself, although I feel I belong here in Dublin somehow.
A lady at the reception asked him if he needed any help. He looked at her for a second and said "Well, yeah, I'm looking for information on my ancestors."
The lady said nothing waiting for him to continue:
"Ahem" he said "The Wilsons"
"What part of the country are they or you from?" asked the lady who looked a bit like a nun. Owen shook his head.
"Dublin" he said.
An old man behind Owen cleared his throat. "Could take you all day" he said helpfully. "You need an exact part of town...you know like, Raheny or Dun Laoighaire."
Owen looked puzzled.
"You're an American aren't you?" said the old man. "God, we get loads of you fellas over looking for their roots" He laughed to himself.
The lady behind the reception looked blankly at the old man. Then she addressed Owen.
"Right " she said "The Wilsons, c'mon over here, sir. I might have some information for you."
Owen thanked her and smiled.
The woman who had been beside Owen was now seated at a table studying microfiche. She looked over at him. Owen winked.
Lotus was beside herself. Holy moley she thought. That's Owen Wilson and he just winked at me. He's here in the National Library of Ireland looking for his ancestors. WOW! She tried to study the names in front of her, but found it almost impossible as she could feel Owen Wilson being shown around the library by the reception woman.
Wasn't it a stroke of pure luck she'd decided to visit her good friend Venus in Dublin to look up her ancestors and have a few pints and maybe bump into Bono! Or perphaps even visit Colin Farrell's dad shop for vitamins.
Lotus looked up. Owen Wilson was sitting at a table about two rows in front of her, she could see only his lumber jacketed back and his blond hair, slightly long and wavy.
She coughed. To her surprise Owen turned around and smiled at her again. Lotus smiled back. Man, she thought Dublin really is a magical city. Why was Venus always bitching about it?

Oh how I wish that really happened to me. If I saw Owen in a library or even if I saw Owen anywhere, I would probably drop my jaw and watch it hit the ground. This would then me followed by an attempt to say Owen but it would be more like "owa owa owaaann..........." I would go into a dead faint.............
Don't keep me in suspense *begs Venus and polishes her shoes* Well, not too long anyway. ;D
Do tell me, one day how it ends. You write so much better than I do. ;D ;D
What would really be great, would be for me to go into Melbourne city and to the docklands. I could watch the fireworks and watch Babba singing. They are not Abba but because they sing like they them, they added the B. Hence Babba! ;D Work that out.............. Anyway! It would be great to do this because the females tend to grab a policeman and give them a big kiss. ;D They are only there to do their duty. Lmao!
Every year, you look in the newspaper and see a picture of some young policeman being kissed by a young female. Don't you wish there were someone like Owen there (or Luke).? "Excuse me young man but it is a tradition, in Melbourne, to kiss the nearest person of the opposite sex on New Year's Eve and Day." Let' face it. Only minutes separate those two days.
My mother suggested that I go into the city. This is really new for me because it has only taken over 40 years for me to get mum's permission. lol Have a Happy New Year! Thanks so much for the story up to here................ ;D ;D ;D

Owen and Lotus
Lotus tried hard to study what was in front of her, but failed miserably. She kept looking at the back of Owen's head and his lovely blond hair. She realised her eyes must be boring into the back of his head, so she stopped. A girl beside her started to stare at Owen too and Lotus thought that she knew who he was.
The girl turned to Lotus and said "I know him, he's on telly."
Lotus looked at her for a second. "Really?" she asked.
"Yeah' said the girl. "That's Hutch."
Lotus nearly died, her face went white.
"Is it?" she asked gulping. Streuth, she thought I come all the way from Australia, see Owen Wilson and now they're copping on who he is!
"He's a ride," the girl said loudly.
Owen Wilson didn't look around. The lady from reception looked over at Lotus, she walked over to her table.
"Could you please be quiet" she said.
The young girl smirked.
Owen Wilson tried to concentrate. He'd already heard his name being mentioned, or maybe something about Hutch and he was starting to feel tired.
Maybe it was a bad idea to come to Ireland. Although he liked Dublin, he wasn't sure how much yet.
He felt maybe he should get out of the city. Didn't Sarah Jessica Parker have a house in Don-e-gal? Could he just pitch up there? Say Hi Matthew, I need to kick back and watch a few Irish sunsets with a nice view?
Owen cleared his throat. :Trust Andrew and Luke to send him to Ireland. It's only for a few days they said. "Go on tiger, find out about the Wilsons from Dublin! You're always talking 'bout your Irish ancestors" And then they laughed.
Owen looked around. He saw that woman with the dark hair sitting behind him. She definitely wasn't Irish. She'd already been asked to keep quiet in the library.
There was a girl sitting near her. Owen watched in surprise as she winked at him. He nodded.
Oh damn I'm getting nowhere he thought. I think I'll leave.
Que music: "Sky rockets in flight, afternoon delight, afternoon deliiiight"

Owen and Lotus
Lotus looked shocked when she saw Owen get up off his seat and start to leave.
The young girl beside her watched him go. She said,
"Bet he won't be lonely tonight. He's probably going to Colin Farrell's Christmas party!"
"Huh" asked Lotus. "Colin Farrell?" She could see Owen walking out the door.
"Yeah, Colin Fokking Farrell."
Lotus ignored her and looked back at the door. OWEN WAS GONE.
She gathered up her belongings fast and thought "It's now or never."
Lotus woke up and didn't know where she was. She blinked in the daylight. On the pillow beside her she saw a blond head. She stared again. The face she saw was the face of an angel, luscious lips, sleeping closed eyes, a bit rough and ready.
He had the sheet pulled around him, but she could just see his chest and the smooth skin of it. He opened his eyes. "Hey honey," he said.
Lotus had left the library in double fast time. She remembered walking outside. And to her absolute shock and delight, Owen Wilson was standing outside looking around. He seemed to be looking at the shopping mall across the road, but she wasn't sure. Maybe he was checking out a girl coming out of the bar opposite.
She walked boldly up to him and said "Hey"
"Well, hey back" he said smiling, teasing. "Are you as lost as I am?"
Lotus smiled. "Kind of," she replied. "My friend Venus who I'm visiting is gone off for a gig with some band, down in ...er Kerry."
"Ah" smiled Owen. " I'm here doing family research. And I'm not doing too well."
Lotus nodded. Owen said "Are you going up this way? I think there's a cool "pub" (he laughed) up the street."
Lotus was so happy. She couldn't believe she was walking up the street with Owen Wilson. In Ireland! Venus would go green!
A couple of boys were standing on Grafton St, checking out their newly bought CDs.
"Hey" said one "There's Hutch!!!"
Owen braced himself for the onslaught of autograph hunters. The lads came up to him and he signed their CDs even though, strictly speaking the CDs were nothing to do with him, being the likes of The Thrills and Bob Marley and The Queens Of The Stone Age.
Lotus stood watching, enjoying the moment.
"Who's your girlfriend, Hutch?" asked one lad.
Owen laughed. So did Lotus. Then Owen put his arm around her.
Lotus breathed in deeply and watched Owen get out of bed. WOW!
She remember something about going to Renards club and meeting Colin Fokking Farrell. She remembered all these Irish accents and the beautiful voice of Owen Wilson, regaling people with stories of movie stars and such.
Colin said something about Owen looking much better in real life than on screen and Lotus remembered laughing at that.
Then she rememebered Colin kissing her, a long slow snog that seemed to last forever. Owen seemed jealous and he said something like "Let's split."
She remembered going outside and kissing Owen in the street. Passionate and delirious kissing. Passionate and delirious. Passionate and delirious.
Lotus smiled to herself broadly. She was positively beaming.
Owen came back into the room with two cups of coffee.
"Hey honey" he said again.
Que music: ooooh Baby I love your way...wanna tell you I love your way. Wanna be with you night and day... I love your way...
THE END

Another story for Fergie.
Fergie was minding her own business in the Scottish Highlands one day when one of her friends from Australia rushed up to her, grabbed her and quickly spoke to her. “Quick, get your suitcase packed and ready to go to Australia!” said Lotus. “The Wilson brothers are down there and you can take Luke while I stay with Owen and look after him.” “Luke will just love your blue eyes and long dark brown hair!” exclaimed Lotus. Fergie packed her things and thought her friend, Lotus, was a bit batty but she just wanted to see Luke. The closer to Luke the better it was for her. They both boarded a plane and journeyed to Australia. “I warn you now that the weather will be perhaps a bit hot for you but don’t worry, we can always buy you some clothes for the heat. You are already used to cold weather, so when it gets cold you won’t feel it.”
After a very long journey, they finally landed in Sydney, which is in New South Wales. “Okay, we can stay with my family in Newcastle and visit Sydney at our leisure. It won’t take that long to get there.” Said Lotus and they both continued on to stay with Lotus’ sister and family. The room that Fergie stayed in was lovely and spacious. The house was in the Hunter Valley and it was almost like living in the country but was more like a small suburb. It was a lovely, quiet place to visit and Fergie enjoyed it there, minus the heat. “We will find you some clothes that aren’t as hot as yours and then you can relax more. Tomorrow, we will go to Bondi Beach and I will show you how lovely it is in Australia. You can choose some bathers while we are in Toronto. Did you also know that there is a Toronto in Canada? I think that they named everything in Australia from places in other countries. Weird!” Lotus rambled on. Clothes and bathers were bought in Toronto and they both got ready for the trip to Sydney and then Bondi Beach, the next day. Tomorrow would be a great day for Fergie.
They boarded a train from Morriset and travelled into Sydney. It probably took about 1 hour but that wasn’t too long for them, and Fergie hadn’t been on a train that had more than one level on it. “What is this? A double-decked train?” Asked Fergie, “I only thought they had double-decked buses. This is certainly new to me.” “Yes, well I have only seen them in Sydney and not Melbourne. Let’s catch this bus to Bondi now. It shouldn’t be too long hopefully.” Said Lotus. It didn’t take too long to reach Bondi but the day was getting hot for Fergie and she couldn’t wait until she got to the beach. At least she could swim in the water and cool down. “Here, put some sun-screen on so that you don’t burn. Try and find some shade when you can. Here’s some sunglasses for you.” Said Lotus. The beach had fine white sand on it and was beautiful but Queensland’s beaches were known for the whitest sand of all, also the palm trees that grew in that tropical region. The beach filled up with people quickly but it was private enough to have some space to lie down on the beach towels, without having your own space invaded. Lunch had been packed for them and also drinks had been brought along in an esky, to keep them cold. The surf at the beach was not rough at all that day but it certainly was good for body surfing. There were plenty of men there that loved to go surfing. Whether it was surfing with a board or just body surfing, it didn’t matter. They both were fun and it felt great to ride in with a wave when body surfing. Lotus loved body surfing and soon taught Fergie how to body surf also. Every now and then they would take a break from the sea and go and lie on the towels for a bit. When ready, one of them would go back in the surf for more fun. The beach was so relaxing and the water was cool and refreshing.
When they went back to towels after being in the water for a while, they noticed someone else had joined them on the beach, close by. There were two other people near them that had just got out of the surf also. “Oh my gosh!” Exclaimed Lotus, “It’s Owen and Luke Wilson. I told you that they were here. Go and introduce yourself, they won’t mind.” “No, I can’t do that. It is will be disturbing them and that isn’t nice.” Said Fergie. “Get used to Aussies. The men here are usually quite friendly and you can speak to them anytime you want to. What makes these Texans so different?” said Lotus and she moved over to the brothers to say hello. “Hi there. How are you enjoying our beaches in Australia?” asked Lotus. “Well, we just got here and haven’t seen many places yet? All you Australians ask that question a lot.” Said Owen. “Yeah. First time at the beach and they come up to you and ask how you like Australia” Luke agreed. “Well, we just like to know if people like our country or rather, if they approve of it. Being so far away from other people, we feel a bit odd and like to know that everyone loves our country. We do that to everyone who visits Australia, so you had better get used to it because you will get that question a lot more.” Commented Lotus and she went on to introduce her friend Fergie, from Scotland, to the brothers. “Owen and Luke, this is Fergie, my friend from Scotland. Fergie, this is Luke and Owen, yadda yadda.” Mused Lotus and she held onto Owen’s hand and pulled him up saying, “Hey, let’s go and do a bit of body surfing. You don’t mind looking after me, do you.” Off she went with Owen, leading him while holding his hand, to the water. “You are very forthright aren’t you?” said Owen with an amazed look on his face, as though to say ‘what on earth does she think she is doing’. Soon Owen and Lotus were in the sea body surfing and he didn’t care any longer about the ‘forthright’ Aussie. They both were having such a great time in the sea.
Luke and Fergie, were left to talk to each other on the beach. They were by themselves. “Does your friend always do that? You know, just grab a man’s hand and take him to the sea to do some body surfing. I wonder if all Australian women are like that.” Said Luke. “I have no idea. She just whisked me off out of Scotland and brought me to Australia, without much warning at all. Perhaps they are forthright people.” Replied Fergie. “I think she is trying to play matchmaker and get me hooked up with someone.” She laughed and so did Luke. “Well, she has done the right thing then. Leaving us alone to speak to each other and get to know one another better, seems like a good idea to me.” Said Luke. “She is cheeky but makes a good friend.” Fergie commented. Luke was staring at her long, dark brown hair blowing in the breeze. He thought that she looked enchanting. “Where are you staying right now?” asked Luke. “I am staying in a country area right now. It is lovely and quiet and near Lake Macquarie. They have beaches up there also but it is more peaceful and not as busy as here.” Said Fergie. “Beaches around a lake?” queried Luke. “Yes, it‘s a salt water lake and the sea runs into it. It is a beautiful lake and it’s very large. I quite like it there and I also prefer the shade more. It gets really hot here and I am not used to the heat in this country.” Replied Fergie. “Perhaps, if you don’t mind, I could take you to a beach up there instead of here. It gets pretty busy at Bondi and I wouldn’t mind a more secluded spot to go to.” Said Luke. “I would love to go back to the lake. At least it has many trees for shade and the boats are such a sight to see. I believe they have Regattas there a lot. Hence, one of the parks is called Regatta Park. It is in Toronto.” Said Fergie. “Let’s go then. I will just leave a note for my brother and those two can enjoy the sea for a while. We can go off and enjoy the lake. I like quiet places anyway. Owen loves the beach more than I do.” Said Luke and off they both went, for a trip back to where Fergie was staying and then a walk along part of the lake. Owen turned towards the beach and noticed his brother was going away with Lotus’ friend. “You know, one moment Luke is in the water with me and the next time I turn around he is driving off in his car. He is so quick!” said Owen. Lotus mused and said, “Yeah, I read that in a magazine, about you being really laid back and your brother is a lot faster than you. You also used the same quotation as you did just then.” They both laughed and Owen blushed a bit, knowing that he had used that comment before and the article had been read by Lotus.

Later on, Luke and Fergie, had driven back to Buttaba where she was staying. Luke had a rental car and a map, so he drove the car while Fergie navigated. “Your right Fergie. This place is a lot quieter and I love the fresh air here, which is so cool and doesn’t feel like the burning sun at Bondi.” Commented Luke. “I agree with you 100%. It is so much cooler here.” Said Fergie and they both went inside the house, out of the sun. Fergie introduced Luke to the family she was staying with and they welcomed him and offered him a drink. He took up their offer. Fergie and he had a chance to get a shower there and change clothes. First Fergie went to the shower and when she finished, Luke then grabbed his shower. They both needed to cool down and get that sand off them also. It had been a long drive and they both deserved a change of clothes and a good rest afterwards, not forgetting another drink to quench their thirst on a hot day. After a rest, Luke was shown the way to the lake, which was only about a block away, and then Fergie and he walked there to talk alone. It was getting later on in the evening and it was cooling down a bit. The sun didn’t feel that hot at all and it was going to set in a short while anyway. While walking to the small beach there, Luke held Fergie’s hand. He felt quite comfortable with her and thought that she was very lovely indeed. Fergie didn’t mind one bit. The walk to the beach didn’t take long at all and they could sit down and relax without having to worry about getting burnt by the sun. “I cut this off a rose bush before we left the house, with permission of course.” Said Luke and showed her a blue rose. He held the rose out of her site until they reached the beach and then handed it to her saying, “The rose matches the colour of your eyes and I think that you are extremely beautiful. You deserve something as rare as this and you are the most wonderful woman that I have ever met.” Fergie’s heart fluttered as she was given the rose and she blushed slightly. “Thank you. You are so kind to give me that and I am quite flattered by your remark.” Said Fergie. She was so happy at that moment and everything was looking beautiful. The sun was just setting behind them and had a lovely red glow to it. Luke put his arms around her and gently pulled Fergie closer to him. Fergie held the rose carefully, and put her arms around him also. He lent forward, tilted his head and kissed her on the lips. She responded and she felt warm inside when their bodies touched. They kissed for a while and then Luke looked into her eyes and said, “I have had a really great day with you and I would love to take you out some more and get to know you better. I think that you are a lovely lady and you are so polite and are a pleasure to be with. You are extremely attractive and your beauty truly shines through. Your eyes have a glow to them and are quite vibrant. The sunset is beautiful and you are even more so.” Fergie’s heart felt light and she felt like she had never loved a man like this before. Once again, he brought her body close to his and they embraced again. His kiss was warm and wonderful. She felt safe in his strong arms and they didn’t kiss for just a moment but her a long while. It was the most passionate kiss that she ever had and her heart was only for him at that moment. That time was theirs and it would always be remembered for how passionate and loving that time was, while he held her in his arms in front of the sunset. It was the most beautiful site to behold hold and they both held that moment close to their hearts. This was just the beginning of a wonderful life that Fergie would have, from now on, for the rest of her life.
