her
towards him. He wanted a better look at her face, he was right beside her, and
yet, he still couldn’t make out any of her features clearly. Scott tried to
talk again, but she put her finger to his lips and motioned for him to be quiet.
She turned her head away, pulled his arms around her again and backed into him.
Scott was quite sleepy and was completely unaware of what time it was. Soon he
was fast asleep.
It was just after 7:00 a.m., bright light filled the room
and Scott’s eyes slowly started to open. He awoke with a headache. Being in a
different place confused him momentarily. He was alone in the bed, and wore
only his boxers. He realized quickly that he dreamed about the nurse. He smiled,
thinking he probably shouldn’t drink that much before going to bed. He looked
around the room and he could see it wasn’t quite the same as the room in his
dream. As he got out of bed, he smiled and thought to himself, it was a good
dream.
Scott really needed a glass of water or something, his head
was pounding. He wasn’t sure if Jim and Linda would be awake yet. But he
seriously doubted very much that they would be. He knew they were drinking far more
than he was and they were still up and going strong when he turned in for the
evening. He completely expected to be the first one up. He pulled on his jeans
and a shirt and made his way quietly out of his room and down the stairs.
As he was about to enter the kitchen he heard a noise that
sounded like a cupboard closing. He wasn’t the first one up. As he entered the
kitchen he saw a woman standing there with her back to him, she was making a
pot of coffee. He could only see the top half of her, as the kitchen counters blocked
his view. She had long straight dark hair and was wearing a white top, Scott
wasn’t sure if it was a shirt or a dress. He thought for a split second about
his dream and smiled. Scott knew it wasn’t Linda in the kitchen and thought
that the Robinson’s may have a maid or something as he walked slowly towards
her.
“Guid morning,” he said softly, trying not to startle her.
“Oh hello, who are you?” she replied, nervously as she
turned around.
“Och, I’m sorry Miss. I did nae mean tae frighten yer. My
name is Scott, I’m a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson,” Scott stated. He soon
realized who she was when he saw her face. She looked a lot like Linda. It
wasn’t long before Scott’s thoughts were confirmed.
“It’s okay. I’m Tiffany. This is my Mom and Dad’s house. I’m
making coffee, would you like a cup?”
“Aye, that would be great. Thanks.”
As Scott got closer, he noticed Tiffany’s stunning blue
eyes. She wasn’t wearing a lot of make-up and looked naturally pretty. He
realized it was indeed a white shirt she was wearing. He could now see her bottom
half, and noticed she wore a pair of denim shorts and flip flops. Scott moved
towards her and sat down on one of the breakfast bar stools.
“So, I guess yer must have had an early start this morning.”
“Yes, I love seeing the sunrise. It’s a great drive up the
coast. And, especially really early when there are not many other cars around. Cream and sugar?”
“Aye, both please.”
She handed him a mug of coffee and sat down on the stool
next to him.
“So, how do you know my parent’s?”
“Yer Dad called me a few days ago, asked me tae come oot
here and give him some security advice.”
“ Hmmmm okay. Look Scott, I’m so sorry. My parents have recently developed a really bad habit
of trying to set me up with guys because they think I should be married at my
age. They know I come here on Sunday’s which is probably why they asked you to
stay. The truth is , I went through a bad break-up with
my fiancé a few months ago. I am just really not ready for anything like that,
yet.”
Scott was caught a little off guard.
“ Uhhm , I’m sorry tae hear aboot
yer break-up. I just split up with my fiancée too. But, tae be honest. Yer Dad
