City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

The prospect of the long race made Ele smile and jump up and down with excitement and she helped set everything up to go. When they were off, Ele was back in her seat, but properly buckled in. With her phone out, Ele took a video of them screaming through the desolate wasteland and laughter bubbled up inside of her. Watching Tyler, Ele pointed her phone at him and started taking pictures of his expressions, wanting to draw them later.

Sitting cross-legged in the front seat, Ele rolled down the window and turned the radio up on a classic rock station, singing along and drumming her fingers on Tyler's thigh where she kept her hand. It felt so natural now, to touch Tyler and to be touched by him, there was no fear in Ele whenever she was around her man, love had pushed all of it away.

A surprised squeal escaped Ele as Tyler picked her up, but it changed quickly into a fit of giggles as Ele put her hands on Tyler's shoulders and kicked her legs lightly,

"I'm pretty sure that its because you're a beast, babe!"

She laughed, wrapping her legs around Tyler's middle and pulling herself to him,

"I mean, you're basically a tree-man, tall, strong, and a little rough on the outside."

Leaning in, Ele kissed Tyler deeply,

"But I love you anyway!"

"Okie dokie!"

Ele said happily, linking her arm with Tyler's as they walked back out to the parking lot. Ele took the food items and went into the hauler and put everything in the fridge so it would last. Humming to herself, Ele couldn't remember a time that she had felt so incredibly happy and light, like she had no worries.

"Brave man."

Setting the bottles in her basket, Ele smiled at Tyler then went to the cashier to pay for the items.

"That sounds like fun!"

Ele agreed, stretching out her stiff limbs before taking Tyler's hand and going into the store. With some prompting from the Californian born, Ele soon had a couple bottles of wine in her hands, as well as apples and cheeses in a basket on her arm.

Looking to Tyler, Ele held up the two bottles,

"Which one do you think? A rose would be fruitier, but the white would be better with the cheese."

Busy, sorry. I just landed back in the States early this morning. This entire next week will be busy as well, but I will reply when I can.

Nodding, Ele couldn't help but laugh,

"Every native Californian knows Death Valley is hell on earth! Its why only the craziest go there for dune races and hiking!"

While they had been cruising, Ele rolled down the window and relax back, letting her feet hang out the window. Now she looked at Tyler, her head rolled to the side and a lazy smile on her lips,

"California is so awesome. This climate is similar to the Mediterranean Peninsula, which is why the vineyards can flourish here. Go an hour southeast and you're in prime ag country. Go south of the grapevine and its desert!"

Smirking, Ele pointed towards the Northeast,

"Two hours that way for the heart of wine country! Napa Valley!"

Shifting in her seat, Ele crossed her legs to settle in for the drive,

"Highway 101, then keep going towards Walnut Creek and Concord until you get to I-680 north and just stay on that and follow the signs for Napa!"
