I wake up on Saturday morning to the smell of coffee and..... wait, it that bacon. Yes. The smell of coffee and bacon. I feel my stomach start to rumble. I get up and quickly go downstairs. I see Gina in the kitchen setting up a tray. She has her back to me so I walk quietly up behind her and put my arms around her and kiss her cheek. "Mornin' Gina". She jumps and screams out. She turns and smacks me on the arm. "You scared the shit out of me Emma". "I'm sorry babe. I love you". I say with a cocky smile on my face. She laughs and calls me an idiot. "So whats going on babe?" "Well I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed, but you had to scare me before I could". I give a guilty look and we sit down to eat. "So Emma I was thinking, next weekend I could come up to Portland and help you start packing if you'd like". "Regina you don't have to help me. I really don't have much and I don't plan on taking my furniture. It's mostly just my clothes and some personal things. Oh but I am taking my tv and surround sound cause that thing is bitchin'". She laughs at that. "I'm sure I can find something to do". "Ok sounds like a plan then". We really didn't do much for the rest of the weekend. I helped her clean out her drawers and closet to make some room for me. We also cleaned up the basement. "Gina I don't think I've been down here before. I like this room. I have an exercise machine, would you mind if I put it down here?" "Of course not dear. This is your home too Emma. You can have what ever you want, with in reason that is". That puts a big smile on my face as more ideas pop into my head. "You know what else would go great in here, my big screen tv with my video games. Maybe a comfortable recliner". "Emma dear, are you trying to turn our basement into a cave?" "A cave? Hmm that may not be a bad idea babe. An Emma cave could be fun. "An Emma Cave?" "Yes, we could maybe get a refrigerator and maybe put a bar right over there. I could get a few more exercise machines so we'd have our own gym over here". "Are you sure you haven't been down here before? That's an awful lot of planning for someone who's been in here for 10 minutes". "Nope. I swear I've never been in here. But I always wanted an Emma cave". "Well then my darling we'll see what we can do about getting you one". "Really?" "Yes, Of course my love". I walk over to her and hug her. "Damn I love you". "And I love you dear". Sunday night rolled around and I had to go back to Portland. I hate leaving. I only take a few things back with me. I leave my clothes. No need to take them just to pack them and bring them back. Regina and I are standing next to the door holding each other. "I wish I didn't have to leave". "I know dear and soon you won't have to". I smile at the thought. "So I'll see you Friday night right?" "Yes my love". "I can't wait. Well I guess I should get going. I love you. I'll call you when I get home". "Drive safely my love". I nod and kiss her again then go and get into my truck. I wave to Regina and head back to Portland.
