Gabriel Brown: Collection of Short Alaskan Bush People Fan Fics

The Drawings

Gabe leans across the table from you, anticipation in his eyes. His grin is so adorable, you really want to say yes. It is only your second date, but you are already crazy about him, and want to know everything you can about him. But when he asks you to take a trip with him to his family's camp in the bush, you hesitate.

"Um," you begin, frowning slightly. "I'm not sure I'm dressed for that." You hedge, looking for an excuse.
"No problem," Gabe happily replies. "You look about the same size as my sister Rainy. I'm sure we can find something that will fit you." He is so pleased with his solution.

"Um," you start again. "How will we get there? Don't you live on an island?"
"Yeah, but I came by myself into town on the skiff, so we've got all the transportation we need." More pleased smiling.
"Oh, great." You think. What do I do now?

You are such a city girl, why did you let yourself ever fall for a bush guy? Your idea of roughing it is having to use the stove when the microwave broke. And your shoes? All your sexy heels? How can you possibly wear those in the bush?

"Alright, Gabey." You smile at him tentatively. "Let me make a quick run to the ladies room and think for a minute. When I get back I'll give you my answer, OK?"

"Great, just great." He happily agrees. "I'll be right here." As you walk to the ladies room, you sneak a quick look back at Gabe. He has grabbed some napkins from the table and has started drawing. You just aren't sure what to do. Your heart is telling you to go with him, but your Louboutin pumps are telling you to step the bleep out of there.

As you come back to the table, Gabe lifts his head and smiles at your return. He quickly hides the napkins with his drawings.
"No wait." You reach for the papers and spread them out on the table. "I would love to see these." Gabe's cheeks flush slightly but he lets you take his drawings. As you look at each one, you see he has drawn several scenes with the two of you, all set in the bush. You and Gabe hunting, you and Gabe fishing, You and Gabe carrying logs together.

As you look back up at Gabe, his eyes shine with his feelings for you.
"It's what I want for us." He says simply, with a shrug. Your heart tugs at your mind. It isn't long before your heart wins.
"Yes to this." You push the first drawing at him. "And yes to this, and to this." You repeat as you look into his beautiful eyes and push all the drawings back to him. He reaches for your hand and easily pulls you to your feet. You can't take your eyes off him as he throws one beefy arm across your shoulders.

"Wonderful!" He grins. "Then let's get started."
