FEGG - G8 - Cosmo - Chapter 6

 We drove until it was sunrise. And even after that.

I slept in the car, and I have no idea how Demond could drive that long. He didn't even look tired, when we finally came to a little town. Or atleast I think he drove all the time, but maybe he stopped somewhere, without me noticing.

We drove to the nearest cafe for some breakfast.

 The whole place was empty. It wasn't even anyone at the desk, but on a sign, we could read "FREE COFFEE" so we each took a cup.

"Having any clue where we are?" I asked and yawned.

 Demond shrugged. "I have no idea, I didn't even see a sign or anything, when we came to this place. Or I may have missed it..."

 Suddenly a woman came out from the backdoor and walked past our table.

 I jumped up from my chair as fast as I could.

"Hi, excuse me!" I said, with a smile, and held out my hand.

The woman took it and shook it. "Hi there."

 "Do you know where me and my friend here are?" I asked. "We've been driving the whole night and neither of us saw a sign or anything about what place we've come to."

 "The whole NIGHT?" the woman exclaimed. "Where are you guys coming from? And oh, right. You're in Aurora Skies. How could it be that you drove the whole night, without knowing where to go?!"

 "Eh, it's a long story." I smiled. "We're from Bridgeport. Is it far from here? I've never even heard of Aurora Skies before. I think..."

"BRIDGEPORT?" the woman's eyes wided. "That's miles away!"

"Is that so..?" I said with a little laugh. "Well, do you know any place we could get some... help around here? Or anything?"

 "Of course! Just drive to the town hall. It's in the center of the town."

 "Oh okay, and thank you very, very much!" I said with a big smile on my lips. "I really appreciate it!"

She laughed friendly. "That's nothing! You're very welcome, dear! And I hope I'll see you soon again."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 We did as the woman, who I never found out the name of, said, and drove to the town hall.

It was really easy to find, since the building was very big and as the woman said, in the centre of the town.

 To my surprise, they were really friendly, and with the small amount of money we had, we could even get a big house!

Even though we had to take out a big loan.

 And the house had no furnitures. Only some stuff in the kitchen, a toilet, shower and a bed.

But we had our green, expensive car, who Demond though we should sell, but I didn't want to, since it was my only thing I had brought with me from Bridgeport.

 But I was happy anyway. I had Demond...

 ... and he had me.

That was everything we needed for the moment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 As I thought, Demond had stopped somewhere, on our way to nowhere, to sleep. But that was just for one hour or two, so now, when we had a bed upstairs, he took his chance to sleep for a few more hours.

Meanwhile, I decided to make something to eat. Just to try out our oven.

 But I hadn't cooked since high school, so when I opened the oven door, black smoke poured out and I started coughing.

 I picked out the burnt food and put it, with a sigh, on the worktop.

"What are you doing?"

I turned around and saw Demond in the doorway. "I was thinking about making a you surprise.." I mumbled.

"A surprise it was." Demond said. "I could smell the burnt food upstairs. I almost thought you was buring the house down."

"I'm sorry.. If I woke you up.." I said.

He laughed and pulled me into a hug. "I can make some food, I'm not even tired anymore."

And so he did.

 And those...

 Cooking skills...

I almost got jealous, but I was glad to have such a great chef in the house. 

 Even though I couldn't cook as good as Demond, I felt so happy.

Happier than I'd been in my whole life.

When I lay there, next to Demond, there's no word to describe how happy I was.

All of my romance books was left in my old room in Bridgeport, but this was way better than my books.

It was way better than I could ever imagine.
