**Rated M for Mature Content. May contain foul language and/or adult situations. Please read with caution.**"Johnny, this place is unimaginable, it is the purest place i have ever seen. I am truly in awe!" I gasped as we walked up a tiny hill.
"That is why i bought it, and why there is no technology here, did you notice, no signal on the cell phone yet?"
"HA! Yeah."
I rolled my eyes at him and kept walking with him.
we walked silently until we reached a small makeshift type of a shack, it didn't look out of place, what DID look out of place was the modern looking house on the beach.
"This, My love, is the man cave, normally women are not allowed in to the inner depths of the man cave, but for you, i will make an exception, this time only tonight."
We walked in and there were candelabras hanging on the ceiling, Johnny lit them immediately.
the room lit up, i hadn't noticed from the outside that this truly was a man CAVE! There were even tunnels that went god knows where, but i had a feeling that i was about to find out!
" do you like it? if so i can have one of your own constructed, you know when you need to just get away and be alone."
"This....is....AMAZING!!!!" is all i could let slip from my mouth.
EVERYTHING was carved in stone from the cave, like it had just been created BY the cave.
the large stone sofa had over sized cushions on it, and a guitar in a stand right next to it.
The chairs surrounding it were clad with the same cushions, with foot rests in front of them.
there was a fire pit with a grate for cooking over top of it where a coffee table should be.
there were shelves carves into the cave walls that contained books, LOTS and LOTS of books.
"let's go exploring, we can go left where there are the guest rooms, for the nights we men have to pass out from our parties, OR we could go right that leads to an under ground river and lagoon."
Johnny's eyes got dark, distant and sad.
"I...I was going to make a woman cave that was on the other side of the pond that led right to that very lagoon, our own secret place, but...that was BEFORE me and V broke up and i just never had a reason to try." his mood changed as he cleared his throat, then became silent.
I tried to look him in the eye, but his head hanged low.
I walked around looking at all the wonderful etchings and cave art that was there, no doubt in my mind that Johnny had done most of them.
There was one in particular, one of him holding his son, and Her holding hands with their daughter, there was also a crack between Johnny and his ex.
This was sad, and i felt like i didn't belong here.
"Johnny, babe, let's go, i feel like i need to go rest my leg."
" the lagoon is only a few paces away, are you sure, it is even more beautiful than the ocean, it glows in the dark? Please, can we go to it? I want you to see it and want you to be my motivation for making a new cave, just for you!"
He took my hand, the one i had been encircling the picture with, in his hand and led me to the lagoon.
Johnny was right! it was even more amazing than the ocean, better yet there was a natural hot spring there too!
" I don't swim in the lagoon, i don't want to upset the natural balance that makes it glow, but let's go to the hot spring, i bet we can get that knee feeling like nothing ever happened."
the cavern was lit up by the lagoon, beautiful green and pink lights floated along the walls, it looked like the northern lights.
"I can see why you keep this place a secret, it is phenomenal!" I gasped.
"Even more so now. Though it is just a rock with some water compared to you."
" Oh shut your mouth!!!!" I teased.
" you really don't know what you have done for me do you?"
Johnny asked in kind of a monotone voice.
I cuddled up next to him, my arm around his waist, and my other around his shoulder.
" I was just trying to be a friend." I answered.
Johnny laughed.
"You are my best friend, I love you."
" I love you too." I said looking straight into his eyes.
"we can stay the night in the cave if you want to." Johnny said, " It makes no difference to me."
" In the man cave? are you serious? i would love to as long as you play some music on your guitar for me, i think it will help me sleep."
"Ok, but for now we must go and get food, i am HUNGRY, do you eat food from the ocean?"
Johnny asked.
" I only like sea weed because it tastes like one of my fave veggies, spinach." making a nasty face as i told him that.
"Ok, well we can get some of that and clean it up and have some native fruits as well, i feel like going hunting and gathering for dinner rather than letting the staff make it. I want them to have the night off."
We spent the afternoon gathering food for our feast at dinnertime, and then spent some time fishing for his portion of the meal.
Instead of taking the food back to the main house, we retreated into the cave once again.
Johnny took the fish into the other room where i couldn't see him prepare them for cooking over the fire pit.
I stayed behind slicing and chopping the vegetation into a large bowl for a salad.
After dinner, we retired to the over sized stone couch, it was suprizingly comfortable, AND i can say it fit the both of us quite comfortably.
I laid on one end with a feather pillow under my head, a matching Duvet covering my body, Johnny sat upright strumming soft lulabies on his guitar.
I fell fast asleep.Thank you for reading. Feel free to add us to your favorites and comments are very much welcomed!
