John smiles feeling pleased that nym really like the drawing that he had made he then leans in and gives nym a hug "I am glad that you like the drawing love. And yes that is what they look like, I was completely awed by it as well." John then shuts nyms door and pulls away grabbing a hold of nyms hand "Want to hold the drawing or do you want me to put it up while we sail?"
"I don't want it to get ruined while we sail, could we put it up?" Nym smiles warmly
"Sure, you can put in down below the deck in the cabin" John steps over onto the boat and looks at nym then holds out a hand for her to grab for support "You don't get nauseous right? "
Nym takes John's hand and steps onto the boat stumbling into him "No, but I forgot to account for the fact that I am a bit clumsy." Nym chuckles nervously
John laughs softly and wraps his arms around nyms waist and smiles "Clumsy you say? Hmmmm…..I have a feeling that this night is going to be very fun indeed" John laughs and places a quick kiss on nyms cheek then he lets go of nym to untie the boat and after twenty minutes john decided they were far enough from the land so he set on auto steer "You okay nym? Also ….do you like wine? "
Nym chuckles "Very." She watches John and smiles "Yea, I'm fine. Yes I do like wine."
John frowns at nyms tone and asks softly as he walks up to nym "You okay love?" John then reaches out and pulls nym into his arms "So what do you think of the sea so far?"
Nym smiles "I promise I'm fine, Hun. I love the sea, It's beautiful, I love being here with you, and I just like the serenity."
John nods then places a kiss on nyms forehead and smiles "Would it be cowardly to ask you to run away with me to the sea? To just forget the world and live underneath the stars in my boat?"
Nym chuckles "I wouldn't say cowardly, but what about Megan and my siblings? I mean I definitely wouldn't mind one bit, but they might."
John smiles then murmurs softly "Megan can live with snow, I trust her to keep an eye on my daughter. And your siblings….hmmmm I am not sure, but are some of them able to keep contact with you even though you might be at sea?" John trails off and shakes his head "How about we eat so I won't ramble off nonsense"
( Bye! See ya monday)
(Bye! Talk to you Monday)
Nym smiles remembering her conversation with Megan this morning "I suppose yes, but I wouldn't want them popping in and out of my head if I'm spending my time with you love. Food sounds good, what's on tonight's menu?"
John nods in understanding then on the topic of food he smiles and gets up "Oh, its my famous tortellini soup! Hang on let me go get the stuff" John turns and races across the boat and down to the cabin he then returns with a blanket full of silverware and the pot of food he made "Can you help love?"
"What would you like me to do?" Nym stood slowly being careful not to fall and cautiously made her way to John with her arms out spread.
John smiled at he observed nym then holds out the bunched up blanket towards her "Just grab one end of the blanket and pull it out then set it down on the deck with me"
Her knees wobble a bit "Okay." Nym grabs one end of the blanket and slowly squats to set it down on the deck
John kneels down with her and spreads out the other end then gestures to the silverware "You can grab you bowl and things now. I will be back in a minute love." John then sets down the pot and goes back to the under cabin to retrieve a few items
"Hurry back sweetheart." Nym sits on her knees and reaches over to grab herself a bowl and silverware, but waits for John to return
John then jumps the first step and accidentally falls and laughs as when he drops a candle "Haha….sorry, it seems I am clumsy today as well my love"
Nym stifles a giggle "It would seem so." Nym clears her throat as she watches John
"I know I might be stalling or making things slow…but I promise that I have something special in mind" John grins then sets up the candles and fills up both their glasses with win. After giving nym her glass he reaches into his pocket and sets a small box between them "You can go ahead and eat. You don't have to wait for me to get done love."
"It's okay, I don't mind waiting." Nym looked at the small box puzzled as she took the glass in hand "I was raised traditionally, 'you eat wen everyone else is ready.' I won't die of starvation Hun. That and I don't want to be the only one eating."
John nods as he grabbed his bowl and spoons some of the soup into his bowl "You can pick up the little box now…" John releases a breath feeling nervous about what he was going to ask of her
Nym's breathing hitches, with shaky hands she reaches out to grab the small box "John, what is this?" She slowly opens the box
