JAH SAYS

5: The lake house 💜

Herah and I are on the road to one of my private lake houses.

No horror movie-type lake house... It is paradise.

The house is two stories and the lake is right next to it. It is safe and modern.

Now that I have Herah with me, I'd like it to be that way always, just Herah and I.

Herah wanted us to pack both our houses' worth of belongings. So we both had agreed on one suitcase each.

I had chose to drive her car, a G-Wagon, for more comfort.

Herah claims that when she's in her car, she never gets car sick, but she does while driving in any other car, even all of mine. I think that she's just being extra.

Driving down a slightly narrow, dusty road, I notice that one of the tires gets punctured. I then pull over at the side of the road.

I do not know this area too well, and will not deliberately put Herah's or my own life on the line... I decide to take my firearm along as I change the tire. I had packed it within my duffel bag, and kept it in the back seat for easier access.

I look over at Herah.

"What's wrong?" She asks looking concerned.

"I have a surprise for you," I tell her creating a distraction and reason for my sudden fiddling with my bag that sits just behind us.

She hasn't seen my gun yet and as far as I'm aware, doesn't know that I even carry one. I've kept it that way, as I don't need to freak her out.

"Oh, my GOD! A flat tire! Thanks, babe, what a lovely surprise." She says to me.

I laugh, relaxed.

"Close your eyes," I tell her.

I don't want us to wait out here another moment...

Herah closes her eyes, covering her face with both her hands while giggling. I then quickly reach in the back and grab my pistol. I immediately conceal it in the front pocket of my hoodie, pulling my other arm from the back seat as I sit forwards.

"Open..." I tell her.

She opens her eyes and smiles as I present the Teddy bear I had gotten for her.

"Are you kidding?! Thank you!" She squeals with glee as she seems to love it, even tho it's a little bit early...

I am planning to propose to her at the house and thought that I'd give her both, the ring and the teddy, the same time as a cute gesture I knew she'd love.

But not everything goes according to plan...

"One sec," I tell her, opening my car door and hopping out.

As I close my door Herah opens hers stepping out too with a loud grunt.

"I needed to stretch my legs!" She exclaims.

I then walk over to the back of the car to get the spare, stopping as I hear a car aproaching from behind us.

Huh?
