I wake up the next morning wrapped in silk satin sheets with my head resting on plush pillows. I reach over to Jared's side of the bed  only to find it empty, I'm about to get up and look for him when I hear his sweet humming coming up the stairs, I lay back on to the pillows and wait for him to come back to bed. He pushes the door open with his arm and walks in with a beautiful ornate tray filled with vegan pancakes, fruit compotes and Blackfuel for two "Mmm, that Woodley Ave smells amazing" he smiles and looks at me quizzically "How'd you know?.... You've been hanging around my brother haven't you?" He's too cute "Mmm ... I might be ......" he places the tray down next to me and takes his coffee then hands me mine raising his eyebrow "Should I be worried?" I take a sip of my coffee the place it down on my night stand as he settles back into bed with me. I reach for his lips while I keep the bed sheet over my breasts "You're the only Leto for me" he smiles slyly and tugs at my fingers "Considering I know every last inch of your body modesty should be the least of your worries, don't you think" my cheeks flush crimson "Maybe so Mr Leto, but however will you concentrate on breakfast if I send your mind straight into the gutter" there's that smile again, he takes a strawberry to my lips but doesn't let me bite it "You know me too well" he takes a bite and traces my lips with the remainder then kisses me again "Mmm... sweet" Only then does he let me take a bite of my own. The strawberry is sweet and juicy. I return the favor with another piece of fruit, his kiss is deeper more passionate but he takes it no further. Instead he feeds me another piece of fruit with an occasional bite of pancake, sometimes teasing me before letting me take a bite. How does he even make breakfast in bed feel so sexy? After breakfast and a very long and "satisfying" shower we meet Shannon and Abrianna on the deck. It might be a romantic weekend but business is never far from their minds "Any word from Pepperdine sis" God I love the sound of that "As a matter of fact, I did check my emails before coming out here....." I knew I'd need my tablet  I open up my priority folder on my emails "Here it is, the contact's name is Nolan and he says he'll be available at 1:00 this afternoon for a quick tour. We can either call or email to confirm" Jared decides on a call while I email our response but he only get a voicemail so he leaves a quick message "Hey Nolan it's Jared Leto I was calling to confirm for today at 1:00, my brother and I are eager to see what you have in store for us, he's also interested in setting up a Pop Up Coffee Bar for the weekend if you'll allow it. My Assistant is currently emailing you with our response. Looking forward to hearing from you and taking that tour. Talk to you soon" he disconnects the call and turns his attention to me "Did you get that kitten?" I repeat pretty much what he said in the voicemail message with some minor adjustments "Dear Nolan, one o'clock is perfect looking forward to the tour and possibly setting up a Blackfuel Pop Up Bar on site for the weekend. Please advice on location address via email or text, see you soon" Jared and Shannon smile in satisfaction "Sounds perfect, let's do this"

Camp Mt. Crags and Gilmore is nestled in the heart of Malibu Canyon, it provides Christian summer camp experiences for up to 2000 children every summer but is also made available for private rental which is how Pepperdine was able to procure it for their Art Festival. We meet Nolan at the campsite a few minutes before 1:00, the gates are opened by a young man in his early twenties or at least he looks to be "Good afternoon, so happy you could make it. It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Leto" he shakes Jared's hand then extends his to Shannon "You too Mr... Leto" he chuckles at that as does Shannon "Please, call me Shannon, my assistant Abrianna and this is Nina who you've been communicating with" he nods in agreement "It's a pleasure ladies" he then leads us over to an extended golf cart "I thought this more suitable for our tour" we board the cart and Nolan drives up the dirt road slowing down over the bridge to point out the creek, he then proceeds to the end of the road "To our left is Camp Girlmore or the south side of Camp and to our right is Mt. Crags or the North Camp which we'll be visiting first" he points out an expansive lawn "This area here will hold a small multi purpose stage for the drama, literature, and dance departments, on the other side is the student accommodations" he slows the cart then stops in front of the pool house "To our left is one of several conference rooms where we plan on setting up a small Art Gallery featuring some of our most talented students and if you turn back to our right you will see the club house which will serve a virgin cocktail lounge at night, sort of speak" Jared eyes him with curiosity as Nolan begins to drive again and points out a small amphitheater to our right. I whisper softly to Jared "What are you thinking love" He leans into my touch as I caress his jawline "Is that a British accent I detect" Mmm... not exactly "try Aussie" now it's me he's eyeing with curiosity "Is there an Australian boyfriend I know nothing about" I can't help but giggle "Mmm.... could be. But don't worry, skinny vegans are more my thing now" he raises and eyebrow "Oh are we now" he goes to take my lips but we're interrupted by the sound of Shannon clearing his throat and a certain Aussie eyeing us with curiosity "Assistant huh" Jared puts his finger on his lips "Shhh .... it's our little secret" Nolan nods and takes a finger to his own lips "Mums the word" Shannon mouths you're hopeless as Abri giggles into his chest "Are we that bad Amore" he takes her lips "Oh we're much worse" they're so cute together. This time I'm the one that giggles into Jared chest "Uh huh"

Nolan points out several spaces along our route where 3-dimensional art will be displayed then stops the cart in front of the dinning hall. He points out a small seating area filled with tables and benches that are in front of it then directs his attention to Shannon "This here could be a suitable place for your coffee bar, you can utilize the tables and turn it into a sort of outdoor café...." Shannon's face lights up as he envisions it all "..... unless of course you have a different vision in mind?" Shannon turns his attention back to Nolan "No, no, this is perfect.... I will however require accommodations for a small crew of three maybe four if that's possible" Nolan nods in agreement "Of course, let me show you where your accommodations will be" not far from where we will be staying is a small building with dorm rooms where our skeleton crew would stay the weekend, where as we would be in an actual cabin that we'll be sharing. After that we head to Mt Gilmore to explore the south side of camp. Nolan points out an expansive area which will be turned into an outdoor lounge complete with hammocks  and canopies with seating underneath. He stops the golf cart in front of the Basketball court "This area here will be turned into an interactive drum circle by the music department and that conference room up there will be another Art Gallery for our Visual Arts and Photography students" I think we lost Shannon at Drum Circle, a sweet smile covers his face as his hands tap a silent tune on his thighs. Jared smiles sweetly and leans in and whispers "If he didn't own a coffee company he would've been drummer" looking at Shannon now I think he would've had a real passion for drumming "So what happened?" Jared keeps his eyes trained on Shannon "He developed a nasty habit..... he likes to eat" Shannon just looks at him as if to say really "Hey at least I eat" Jared looks at him quizzically "Hey, what is that supposed to mean?" he raises an eyebrow 'Figure it out Skinny Bones Jones"            

Nolan stops the cart in front of a second club house complete with a pool "Did I loose you somewhere gentleman?" Jared responds, his eyes still trained on his brother who's trying to stop laughing  "No, my brother is just trying to be a comedian"  Nolan is trying to stifle a laugh of his own "Not very good is he?" Jared catches on and with mock seriousness "No..... So what do we have here?" Nolan points out the pool house "Moving on ...... This here will serve as a secondary virgin happy hour lounge and below us ......" he moves down "....... Is the South Dinning Hall, I do believe we will be offering two different menus but don't quote me" Shannon   looks a Jared with an expression I cant quite read, that is, until Jared asks about a vegan menu. Shannon mouths I knew it as Nolan responds to Jared's question "Actually we'll be offering both vegetarian and vegan options for our discerning students, staff and honored guests" Shannon can't help but quip in "God forbid somebody serves you a mozzarella stick" Oh my God with these two, I cant. Now it's Jared who's trying to figure out if he's serious  "Eeww that's gross...... maybe somebody should serve you a nice hot cup of burnt espresso" Shannon squints his eyes shut and stick out his tongue in actual disgust "Eegh!!!! Now that's gross!" Jared chuckles in spite of himself "Uh huh, that's what I thought" Abrianna and I can't figure out if we want to put them across our laps or give them a time out   

After the tour we head back to the office which is located across from the pool house to finalize our reservations and the Coffee bar. After the business aspect gets taken care of Nolan let's us explore a bit on foot while he goes over the paper work. The campsite is absolutely incredible, it's so peaceful and serene. I haven't been camping since I was a kid but I can't wait to come back for the Art Festival. This place is amazing, almost magical. There's so much more to explore and see,  I couldn't wait to experience it with Jared.
