Chapter 21 - THE TOUR

Stefan's eyes is teasing.

But suddenly...his looks changed to subtle and meek.

He seemed in a different world today.

But I thank God! Stefan forgotten his warning! Or had he changed his heart? for whatever reason, I am grateful.

Stefan left me while I freshened up.

And I decided to wear some black Mama's jeans paired with my apricot elegant ruffle trim long sleeves button front. Then, put on my pair of gold lion head earrings in large hoops and my fave gold necklace and my apricot colored head scarf.

To complete my outfit..my black sneakers and black leather jacket.

That's perfect for me!

Hope it would be perfect for him.

I'm feeling edgy waiting for him.

And so I decided to write.

I took the my Journal from my hand bag.

Then open it and started writing.

December 25, 1980

Seward, Alaska

My beloved,

My heart flutters joyfully.

Waiting is a game to outplay.

Is this for real? or just infatuation.

O God! give me signs and enlighten my intuition.

The sweet scents of euphoria is flowing.

Your magnificent and your charm is enticing.

Are you my soul mate or just a play mate?

Join me beloved in my journey of my fate.

Beatrix

"My Lady! Are you ready for the surprise?

"Yes! Your highness..." I said in giddiness.

"Alright then, let's be hurry!" he said merrily.

He took my right hand and kissed it with respect.

Then he moved so close to me...

He said" My Lady..you look splendid!"

My face is full of hot flashes.

Then, we walked through the courtyard to fetched Stygian and Winter..

Stefan called out "Olivia..is our lunch box ready? " she walks out from the house with a picnic bag..then give it to Stefan..he muttered some instructions to Olivia.

Peter approached us and help us to settled in our horses.

Then, we started our ride.

I never knew where we are going and so I just followed Stefan's lead.

It took us 30 minutes to arrived in the harbor of Seward.

We descent from our horses and leaved it to Stefan's friends house near the harbor.

I am amazed seeing fleet of ships docking in the harbor.

And we walk through the shoreline until the port area.

Then we embarked into a small boat for a ride and we started our tour...

Stefan helped me to have a comfortable seat.

He is very lively and accommodating.

The enormous beauty of glaciers glide from the Exit Glacier in a different angle is totally stunning.

The scenery is epic!

Then on the other side there are mythical landscapes in some parts of the bay.

And many puffins in the cliff side and sea lions in the rocks.

It's just so overwhelming!

I felt like I'm on a different world.

We almost forgotten our lunch.

Stefan prepared our meals and served the food.

I found his company more enjoyable these days.

Stefan called out "My Lady! Look!" his pointing on Fin Whales ... Oh I felt delighted!

Then..after awhile he pointed again.. "They are Orca whales" he said cheerfully.

"We are so lucky that we meet some whales in our tour today!" he added.

Oh what wonderful birthday celebration for me!

I smiled in silence.

Throughout the journey... Stefan was so happy telling me stories about everything that we had seen.

And I adore him more.

The tour just ended and the sun just set.

We swiftly ride our horses back to the Mansion.

As we come closer...

There's some lanterns and tables in the courtyard?

And the those smell whiffing my nose...roses and lavender!
